Charlie’s cell phone suddenly vibrated, and he opened it to find that it was a video sent by Isaac. This was also the video that he had specially instructed Isaac to arrange for someone to capture in secret, to take a look at Jaime’s true state now.Charlie’s impression of Jaime changed a lot after seeing Jaime’s performance.The reason why he had asked Jaime to grovel was not simply to punish him, but also to give him a chance to reflect on himself. There were countless ways to punish him. In fact, the best way would be to put him in a kennel like Jiro and let him be with the dogs all day long.However, in Charlie’s opinion, Jaime was still Sophie’s brother, and he was also Aunt Helen’s son. If he could return to the right path, it would also be a good thing for Sophie and the entire Schulz family. Charlie originally thought that Jaime would have to wait until the entire experience was over before he would really change from the bottom of his heart, but judging from Jaime’s cur
From the very beginning, Nanako had no intention to hide her decision to buy a house at Thompson First from Charlie.Her only thought was to come to Aurous Hill in advance to give Charlie a small surprise. As for the matter of buying a house, she preferred to let Charlie know openly and honestly. Charlie did not expect that Nanako would buy a house at Thompson First, so he asked her curiously, “When did it happen? Which house did you buy?”Nanako said with a smile, “I bought an apartment unit facing the river as the villas are all sold out.”With that said, Nanako added, “I initially planned to buy a more classical villa, but Tanaka-san has been here for several days and was still unable to find a suitable villa, so he simply decided to buy the apartment unit at Thompson First yesterday.”Charlie nodded slightly and said with a smile, “We will be neighbors from now on. You’re welcome to settle down in Aurous Hill.”Charlie had always had a good impression of Nanako, but he did n
Nanako knew that Charlie had earned a large sum of money through the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill and that a large portion of the money had been used for investment and development in Aurous Hill, so she subconsciously asked, “Mr. Wade, will you still be organizing the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill next year? If the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill is still operating, Aurous Hill will definitely be able to attract a large number of top foreign-funded enterprises to move in, and you might be able to create a new financial center through the Rejuvenating Pill by then!”Charlie sighed, shook his head, and said, “I’ve decided not to hold the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill next year, for the time being.”Having said that, Charlie added, “Actually, I still have a big problem that has not been resolved, and I’m afraid that I’ll stir up trouble if I continue holding the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill. I’ll have to wait until I’ve solved this problem before I hold the auction
With that in mind, Charlie wondered if he should give his grandfather a chance and send him an invitation letter so that he could participate in the auction as well. In that case, his grandfather would definitely have the strength to bid for the Rejuvenating Pill, and his physical condition could also be greatly improved. However, he would have to earn at least one to two hundred billion US dollars from his grandfather then. Charlie felt that he would not feel at ease even if he accepted this money. So, he simply stopped thinking about it and decided to wait until next year when he had really decided to hold the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill before considering this issue.The sisters, Sophie and Rosalie, had been listening silently at the side. Sophie was already jealous. She could see that Charlie favored Nanako, but unexpectedly, Nanako could also give advice to Charlie. She felt very envious when she saw that the two of them seemed like a perfect match.Rosalie, who was as
Sophie was overjoyed when she heard Charlie say that he was going to pay a visit to her house. She nodded gratefully and said, “Okay, Mr. Wade. I’ll go and pick my brother up first and wait for you at my mother’s mansion.”“Okay.” Charlie nodded slightly and said to Isaac, “Mr. Cameron, please make the arrangements to bring Jaime to meet Miss Schulz after he gets off the plane.”Isaac said without hesitation, “Don’t worry, Young Master, I’ll make the arrangements immediately.”Charlie nodded and then said to Sophie, “Miss Schulz, you should head to the airport first, I’ll see you in the afternoon.”“See you in the afternoon, Mr. Wade!” After Sophie bid farewell to Charlie, she drove to the airport impatiently. Although Jaime had chosen to turn to his grandfather, Cadfan, after his family was in danger, Sophie did not blame him.She was actually very aware of her brother’s character. He was not a bad person, but he had just been pampered for too many years, so he really lacked
Jaime sighed and said piously, “I didn’t suffer much, but I always feel very guilty whenever I think of you and Mom. I’ve never been able to forgive myself...”Sophie comforted him quickly, “Those are already things of the past, so don’t mention it again. Mom and I also understand you very well, and we are not mad at you at all.”With that said, she hurriedly wiped her tears away and said, “Brother, Mom is waiting for you at home, so let’s go back quickly!”Jaime said somewhat embarrassedly, “Sophie, it’s not good for Mom to see me in this state. Why don’t I find a place to take a bath and change my clothes first?”“No need.” Sophie shook her head and said, “Mom already prepared a set of clothes and also a razor for you. Just come back with me quickly...”Jaime asked in surprise, “Did Mom know that Mr. Wade would let me come back today? Could it be that Mom pleaded with Mr. Wade to let me come back?” “No.” Sophie shook her head and explained, “I was talking to Mom yesterday abou
Aurous Hill old town district.The mansion that Charlie shared with his parents when he was young now seemed brand new.Helen had put a lot of effort into renovating and rebuilding the mansion bit by bit. Although everything looked the same as it did back then, it seemed that time had been turned back directly to twenty years ago.During this period of time, Helen lived a very relaxed life every day. She read books, drank tea, practiced calligraphy in the mansion every day, and patiently took care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard in her free time. She lived a very fulfilling life every day. Jaime had been on the pilgrimage during this period of time, and Sophie often traveled for work and rarely had time to come back to accompany her, but Helen felt that such a solitary life made her immensely satisfied. Although she was also worried about Jaime, she also knew that this was Charlie’s punishment for him. Charlie would not forgive him so easily, but he would definitely e
In both ancient and modern times, many members of the royal family and heirs to wealthy families had long gotten used to betraying and turning their backs on one another because of their own interests.Jaime was still kneeling on the ground, and tears were streaming down his face as he said in an incomparably firm voice, “I disregarded my mother and sister’s lives and only cared about my own future. That was utterly inhumane and unrighteous, and I was being too disloyal and unfilial!”Helen said seriously, “I understand what you’re saying, but you couldn’t help it either. I don’t blame you.”Jaime continued in a loud voice, “If I was wrong, I was wrong! Saying that I couldn’t have helped it is nothing more than an excuse! I could have chosen to stand with my mother and sister and seek justice for you, but instead, I made the wrong choice to disregard your lives and only care about my own self-interest!”Helen was silent for a moment. She then sighed softly and said earnestly, “Okay
