Jacob, who was still a little disheveled, said impatiently from inside, “Why are you knocking? I want to rest even if you don’t want to sleep!”Elaine said impatiently, “Just open the door when I ask you to do so. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and open the door!”After that, Elaine began knocking on the door vigorously again.Jacob had no choice but to open the door. He glanced at her and said in annoyance, “Hurry up if you have anything to say.”Elaine looked at Jacob and frowned when she saw that he was only wearing a pair of briefs. She then said, “Put on your pants quickly and drive me out to buy some firecrackers. I want to celebrate by setting off some firecrackers!”“Firecrackers?” Jacob muttered in dissatisfaction, “It’s not the New Year so why do you want to set off firecrackers?!”Elaine blurted out, “Hannah is done for! This kind of great joyous event is celebrated by the whole world, so why can’t I set off firecrackers to celebrate?”Jacob waved his
After Elaine gave up on the idea of buying firecrackers to celebrate, Wendy rushed to the police station to bring Christopher, Harold, and Lady Wilson out of the police station.Wendy had been in a meeting at the company tonight when she received news that something had happened to her mother. She drove the company car and rushed back home, but the police called her before she got home and asked her to head to the police station to pick up her family members.Therefore, Wendy hurried to the police station and picked up her father, brother, and grandmother after going through the formalities. On the way back, Wendy was driving and Lady Wilson was sitting in the passenger seat. Christopher and Harold were slumped in the back seat, bound by seat belts. Lady Wilson kept crying continuously in the car as she muttered, “It’s over for the Wilson family... It’s completely over...”Harold also had tears in his eyes as he clenched his teeth and cursed, “That b*tch, Elaine, is really d*mne
Christopher also sighed despondently and said, “Wendy, you’re right...”Wendy was silent for a moment as if she had made some kind of decision. She suddenly restarted the car and made a right turn at the intersection where she should be going straight, then spoke up and said, “Forget it. I’ll send you two to the hospital right now! You should hurry up and recover from your injuries so that you can go out and find a decent job after you recover!”Christopher nodded and said dejectedly, “To be honest, I’m about to lose my mind from lying in bed for half a year. I’ll go and find a job after I recover...”After saying that, he looked at Harold again and said, “Harold, you’ve been fooling around for most of your life, and it’s time for you to get a little work done! When the time comes, both of us will look for a job. Neither one of us can stay home idly to wait to be fed!”Harold knew that his dream of becoming a rich heir was shattered, so he could only nod, choked up, and said, “I kn
Wendy’s determination startled Lady Wilson. At the same time, she also felt a chill down her back.She was shocked because she did not expect that Wendy, whom she had always led by the nose, had become more and more powerful ever since she had taken up the position as the manager of the etiquette company. She even made it clear that everyone in the family would have to obey her from now on.As for the chills down her back, it was because she realized that Wendy had never forgiven her for what she had done back then. The only reason why Wendy was still taking care of her instead of taking revenge on her was mainly because she was old. However, Wendy had already made herself very clear. If she really continued relying on her age to cause trouble, she would really be left with nothing and no one to depend on.Lady Wilson was not a fool. She knew that in a family, whoever controlled the money had the right to speak for the whole family.She was old and had no assets. It was even a pr
Since Hiroshi had arrived in Aurous Hill a few days earlier ahead of the Ito family, he specially arranged for a convoy to pick them up today.When the Ito family left the airport by car, the flowers that arrived at random were also transported away by multiple refrigerated trucks that were prepared in advance. Although Charlie was the only thing on Nanako’s mind, she still chose Shangri-La as her first stop. However, Yahiko did not go to Shangri-La, but was taken to Thompson First by Hiroshi. Yahiko did not plan to go to Shangri-La before the wedding because he was a well-known figure in Japan, after all, and he was worried that he would be seen by too many people, thus exposing the secret of his legs regenerating. Isaac only got the news when Nanako’s convoy arrived at Shangri-La.Upon learning of her arrival, Isaac called Charlie immediately and reported the news to Charlie. When Charlie heard that Nanako was here, his first reaction was to be very pleasantly surprised. It
Rosalie nodded slightly and then asked Nanako, “By the way, Miss Nanako, did you tell Mr. Wade in advance before coming here today?”“No.” Nanako said somewhat shyly, “Charlie-kun must be busier on weekdays, so I didn’t tell him in advance.”Rosalie smiled and said, “Even if you didn’t tell him, Mr. Cameron would have already told him as soon as possible. Mr. Wade attaches so much importance to you, so he might already be on his way here now.”Nanako blushed and said, “No... I think Charlie-kun also attaches great importance to you...”Rosalie said shyly, “I... I’m not in the same situation as you... I’m Mr. Wade’s subordinate, but you’re Mr. Wade’s confidante...”Nanako looked at her and asked curiously, “Are you really just his subordinate?”Rosalie said somewhat unnaturally for a moment, “I’m really just his subordinate. Mr. Wade has saved me many times and helped me a lot, so I naturally have to stay by his side to repay his kindness to me. Therefore, I’m naturally just his s
Upon hearing this voice, the three women looked around and saw that Charlie had already stepped into Sky Garden. The three women unconsciously had excited expressions on their faces at this moment. As they knew that Charlie was talking about Sophie’s brother, Rosalie and Nanako simply smiled at Charlie without saying a word. Sophie was overjoyed and quickly confirmed again with Charlie, “Mr. Wade, you mean that you can bring my brother back?”“Yes.” Charlie nodded and said calmly, “But he can only attend the wedding. He will have to continue with his unfinished punishment after the wedding.”Sophie subconsciously asked, “Mr. Wade, if my brother comes back to attend the wedding, will he return to the place where he was picked up or will he have to start from the beginning again?”Charlie laughed and said, “Of course he will start from the place where he was picked up. How can I let him start from the beginning?”Sophie heaved a sigh of relief and said gratefully, “Thank you fo
At this moment, Jaime, who was walking on the land of Sandskirts, continued his pilgrimage even though he had a scruffy beard and was covered in tatters. Although he was dressed in rags, he wore thick protective gear on his hands and knees. He would kneel every three steps he took, then grovel before getting up. After getting up, he would take another three steps and continue to grovel, and the cycle continued. In the beginning, Jaime’s body simply could not bear such high-intensity movement at all. His body had suffered a lot. He had already reached his limit by walking three to four kilometers a day, which was much slower compared to the speed of ten kilometers a day for regular believers. However, with the passage of time and the longer the journey, he gradually adapted to this rhythm and gradually increased from three to four kilometers a day to the current seven to eight kilometers.He had traveled more than a thousand kilometers in more than five months. Jaime originally
