When Charlie saw that she was crying, he hurriedly said, “Look, how did I make you cry by giving you a small gift?!”He then handed a piece of tissue over to her and said, “Wipe your tears away quickly. Otherwise, when the flight attendant comes over and sees this, she will think that I am bullying you when no one else is around.” Kathleen could not help but laugh out loud. As she laughed, she accepted the piece of tissue and wiped away her tears as she teased, “What are you afraid of? I would not blame you even if you truly did bully me...”Having said that, she realized that her joke seemed inappropriate. So, she hurriedly changed the subject. She remembered the joke she had made to Charlie just now, and she immediately said very firmly, “Thank you for this great gift, Mr. Wade. I will buy you the two companies, Patek Phillipe and Rolex within a week and give them to you in return...”Charlie quickly waved his hand and said, “No, don’t!”He pointed at the Patek Phillipe watch t
Charlie’s words made Kathleen’s entire body tremble. She knew the weight behind Charlie’s words.Since Charlie had said that he would keep her grandfather alive for another ten years, he would definitely be able to fulfill his promise.This was basically equivalent to giving her grandfather half a Rejuvenating Pill.What’s more, Charlie’s only condition for her grandfather to live for another ten more years was not to ask for money or anything else, but only to assist her and help her secure her position as the head of the Fox family!She could not help but think to herself, ‘Mr. Wade is doing all this to pave the way for me...’As she thought of this, she looked at Charlie with tears in her eyes as she said gratefully, “Mr. Wade, thank you for everything that you have done for me. I swear that the Fox family will definitely work together with you in the future, and we will definitely become the most solid and reliable ally by your side! There will be no one else who will do bet
Charlie spoke up and said, “Look, what these rich people or wealthy families that we usually come into contact with usually like to do is to make more money with money. They were born just to make money, which would only lead to them spending money where it could increase or add value and bring greater wealth to them. By doing so, they are completely blinded by money.”Having said that, Charlie said again, “If a family has already seen through excess money and is treating it as nothing more than just a number game and is thus spending money in the direction of pure consumption in the true sense or has no other way to manifest it with specific values at all, what would happen, then?”“Pure consumption...” Kathleen frowned and thought for a moment, but she was still a little puzzled. So, she said embarrassedly, “Mr. Wade, I still do not understand it well. Can you explain more to me?”Charlie said seriously, “To give you the simplest example, the Rothschild family’s assets of more tha
In the eyes of the vast majority of people, wealth was a symbol of strength, but Charlie had never taken money seriously at all. The facts also proved to him countless times that money was, in fact, not everything at all times.For example, so what if Jordan had a fortune worth a trillion US dollars? He still had to rush to spend more than two hundred billion US dollars to buy a Rejuvenating Pill. Even Charlie’s eldest uncle, Christian, was willing to pay more than three hundred billion US dollars in exchange for a mere Rejuvenating Pill.Theoretically speaking, as long as Charlie was willing, he could use the Rejuvenating Pill to scour all the wealth of all the old and wealthy people in this world. In that case, his wealth could even surpass that of his grandfather’s family, the Saudi royal family, or even the Rothschild family. However, when Stephen had given Charlie ten billion dollars back then, he had not even known how to spend the money. So what if he had more money th
After all, the flight number of a private jet would not appear on the big screen at the airport.It was already eight o’clock local time when the full-size Cadillac SUV sent Charlie to Hilton Hotel.The driver carried two huge suitcases from the trunk first, both of which were the Hong Kong specialties that Shawn had prepared for Charlie. After that, the driver took out a small twenty-inch suitcase from inside the car, which was Charlie’s own carry-on luggage. Charlie also put the Patek Phillipe watch that Marianne had given him into this suitcase.When the bell boy at the hotel saw that Charlie had three big suitcases, the bell boy hurriedly pushed the luggage cart and placed all three of Charlie’s suitcases on it. After that, he followed Charlie to the top floor of the Hilton Hotel. At this time, Claire had just had dinner with Elaine. Over the past few days ever since Elaine had come to the United States, she had already familiarized herself with the city of Providence. S
Elaine opened the door and prepared to make some noise outside the door. However, when she suddenly saw Charlie standing outside the door, her ugly expression immediately became extremely happy as she said excitedly, “Oh, my dear son-in-law! When did you return? Why didn’t you tell us in advance?”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “I didn’t tell you guys in advance because I did not want you both to worry.”Elaine smiled and said, “I know that it must be because you want to give Claire a surprise!”When Claire, who was inside, heard the commotion, she walked toward the door and asked, “Mom, is Charlie back?” Elaine hurriedly turned her head and shouted inside, “Claire, my dear son-in-law is back! Come quickly!”As she spoke, she saw that there was a bellboy who was pushing a luggage cart behind Charlie. When Elaine saw that there were three suitcases on the luggage cart, she immediately asked excitedly, “My dear son-in-law, I remember that you didn’t seem to bring any luggage wit
After saying that, she did not forget to say to Charlie, “My dear son-in-law, I’m already very happy and satisfied that you have this intention, but you have to remember not to buy things indiscriminately, okay?!”Charlie smiled faintly and nodded gently. “Okay, Mom. I know.”Elaine had a somewhat melancholy expression, but she still had the sense to forget about the Van Cleef & Arpels topic, and she quickly focused her attention on the jewelry box in her hand. As she opened the box, she thought to herself, ‘I just bought a Bvlgari Emerald Goddess Dream necklace a few days ago. I wonder what kind of jewelry Charlie is giving me from Bvlgari this time? If it’s a bracelet from the Emerald Goddess Dream, it can be paired with my necklace, which would be really great, then!’Elaine opened the box joyously with this in mind.Right after that, however, the item that caught her eye then caused her to be stunned.“This... This...” Elaine looked at the familiar necklace nestled quietly i
“Homesick?!”Claire was completely stunned and confused by Elaine’s sudden outburst, and she asked inexplicably, “Mom, Dad is still in South Korea, and Charlie and I are in the United States. How can you be feeling homesick?”Elaine had an embarrassed expression as she said, “I’m just thinking of Aurous Hill. It is indeed a little difficult to adapt, and it feels a little uncomfortable to live in a foreign country. It seems that Aurous Hill is still the best for me. Why don’t you take a look and see when there’s a flight back to Aurous Hill, and you can book a ticket for me to go back, then.”Claire looked at Elaine in astonishment and blurted out, “Mom, didn’t you say that you could not sleep because you missed us and couldn’t stand being alone at home in such a big house? Isn’t that the reason why you came to the United States to find us? It’s only been a few days, yet you already want to go back to Aurous Hill? Wouldn’t you still be alone when you go back to Aurous Hill? Wouldn’t
