“Give up the Rejuvenating Pill?”When Jordan heard Charlie’s words, he was first stunned before he asked with some trepidation, “Mr. Wade... You... Why are you making such a request?”Charlie looked at him and said indifferently, “Lord Fox, if the auction continues next year, do you think that you will be able to successfully win the bid for the auction of the Rejuvenating Pill with your economic strength?” “Well...” Jordan could not help but recall the auction scene at that time. His limit was only two hundred billion US dollars, but Christian’s asking price was almost twice as high as his own. If the Rejuvenating Pill reached this price again next year, he would not be able to afford it anymore. Furthermore, it was impossible for him to sacrifice the interest of the Fox family for his own selfish interests. The incident last time had taught him a very, very painful lesson. Therefore, he could not make the same mistake twice.This also meant that he would basically lose the qua
Jordan, who was extremely happy, trembled immediately as he cupped his hands together and raised his hands above his head as he said respectfully, “I... I would like to grovel to thank you for the pill, Mr. Wade!”Charlie placed the pill in Jordan’s palm and said indifferently, “Lord Fox, you’re welcome. Why don’t you get up and eat the pill first?”Still, Jordan did not dare to get up. Instead, he knelt on the ground and carefully placed the half of a Healing Pill in his mouth.The half of a Healing Pill melted in his mouth and then turned into a warm current that flowed directly into his elixir field before flowing throughout his whole body through his meridians. In just a moment, Jordan felt that his body’s physical condition was in a much better state. He had still experienced a lot of inconveniences moving around before this, but now, he immediately felt that his whole body was much more relaxed.Just as he was extremely happy and carefully experiencing indescribable pleasur
The next day was already the day for Elaine to return to Oskia.Charlie had specially brought Elaine to buy more than twenty to thirty thousand US dollars of various specialties and gifts. Although he did not say anything, he treated this as a gift to thank Elaine because she had come to accompany Claire in the United States this time. Charlie and Claire sent Elaine to the New York JFK Airport at five o’clock in the evening. Elaine was not in a hurry to go through the check-in procedures because Charlie had bought a first-class flight ticket for her. Instead, she said to Charlie and Claire, “Charlie, Claire, you two don’t have to go through all the trouble of sending me in and watching me go through the security check. The friend that Lucy introduced to me happens to be on the same flight as me. She sent me a WhatsApp message just now saying that there is a first-class lounge as soon as we enter the airport. She asked me to wait there for her for a while so that we can go in and c
At this point, Elaine did not know what was in store for her. Elaine entered the airport, but she did not rush to the security check. Instead, she looked for the first-class lounge according to Clarissa’s instructions.She went in and had only sat there for less than ten minutes before a woman who was dressed very extravagantly walked in with a suitcase and handbag.Elaine recognized at a glance that this woman was her new friend, Clarissa, based on the WhatsApp profile picture and photos in her WhatsApp profile.So, she was a little nervous and excited as she waved at her, smiled, and said, “Hello, Madam Zinn! I’m Elaine! Nice to meet you!” When Clarissa saw Elaine, she could not help but say with some surprise, “Oh, Elaine! We finally meet! You must have been waiting here for a long time. I’m sorry, but I was still hosting a meeting before coming to the airport. You don’t know how many things I have to do all day long. It really makes me frustrated.”Elaine smiled and said, “
Clarissa had also heard Lucy mention Elaine’s situation before coming here. She knew that Elaine lived in a first-class villa in Thompson First in Aurous Hill and drove a Rolls-Royce. Therefore, she was not too surprised.She smiled and said to Elaine, “Don’t you think that a car like a Cullinan is a little too big for a woman like us to drive? I rarely drive when I go out, and I would always let the driver drive the MPV so that I can sit in the middle row. It’s much more comfortable and less worrisome compared to when I drive on my own.”Elaine said enviously, “We don’t have a full-time driver or an MPV at home. Otherwise, I would be able to experience the feeling of being a female boss too.”Clarissa smiled and said, “Isn’t this just a trivial matter? I can give you an MPV if you don’t have one. Do you know the Lexus LM300? I ordered three units from a parallel import car dealer some time ago. I was originally planning to keep one for my parents, but they plan to settle down in th
Meanwhile, Clarissa was pretending to pack her suitcase and handbag when her cell phone rang. When she saw the words ‘Mr. Challe’ displayed on the caller ID, she deliberately pretended as if she could not be bothered to pick up the phone and put it to her ear to answer the call. So, she turned on the speakerphone directly, put her cell phone aside, and spoke up, “Mr. Challe, I’m about to board the plane. If there’s anything, we can talk after I land instead.”The other party’s voice sounded very urgent as he said, “Miss, Madam met with an accident!”Clarissa suddenly tensed up and hurriedly asked, “What happened? What’s wrong with my mom?!”The other party said, “Madam went riding with the little master today. I don’t know what happened, but the horse got scared and kicked Madam. Madam passed out. I just took her to the hospital and the doctor said that her condition is a little serious.”Clarissa said anxiously, “What exactly happened? How did my mother get kicked by a horse?! Wha
Clarissa did not expect that Elaine would offer to go to the hospital with her instead of leaving.However, Clarissa was not going to head to the hospital. She simply wanted to come up with a suitable excuse so that she could tempt Elaine into taking the bait so that she could hurriedly slip away. So, she said to Elaine very seriously, “Elaine, there are many things in this suitcase that Lucy has bought for her parents. There are some tonic products and special medicine that cannot be bought in Oskia. I promised Lucy that I would bring these to Hong Kong for her today. I was supposed to go back to Oskia two days ago, but I was waiting for the arrival of these items. Their business will be delayed if I cannot bring these things to them...”Elaine hurriedly asked, “What are you going to do, then? Aren’t you unable to leave?”Clarissa nodded and hurriedly said, “I can’t leave today, but you can go back first. I’ll go to the hospital to settle my mother first. Her body must have suffe
The man asked again, “How much can we get?”Clarissa thought about it and said, “As long as I succeed in getting Elaine to bring the goods in, I will get five thousand US dollars for my hard work regardless of whether she succeeds or not. If Elaine succeeds in bringing the goods in, I will get almost twenty to thirty thousand US dollars.”“That’s great!” The man smiled and said, “Let’s go to Las Vegas to relax after getting this done. D*mn it, I’ve been having bad luck for the first half of the year, and I basically lost all of my f*cking money to the casino. I have to make sure that the casino gives everything back to me in the second half of the year!” Clarissa said, “You can go to Las Vegas, but don’t focus only on gambling when you get there. There are generally many bad gamblers in that kind of place. You have to find a way to trick a few people to go to Mexico.”Having said that, Clarissa sighed and said, “I heard that Martha is doing pretty well. There’s a person who is suc
