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
“Eight months?”Sophie exclaimed, “Wouldn’t you have to travel at least eight to nine kilometers every day if you want to reach Jordan Temple within eight months?!” Sophie nodded and said, “Eight to nine kilometers is just the minimum. If the condition is good and the weather is good, I will have to travel a little faster so I can have more time to enjoy for a while when I pass by places with beautiful and majestic scenery.”Sophie felt distressed again. Helen turned around and said to her, “Sophie, don’t disturb your brother and let him take a good bath.”Sophie nodded slightly and said to Jaime, “Brother, take a good bath first. We will wait for you outside.”Jaime hummed in response. After Sophie had closed the bathroom door, Jaime took off his tattered clothes and prepared to take a good bath.However, after standing in front of the bathtub, he looked at the clear warm water inside, then took his dirty clothes to the shower room at the side after hesitating for a moment.He
Vera wanted to build a good relationship with Marianne, so she took the initiative to accompany Marianne to Aurous University to sign the contract, but she did not expect that Marianne would want to come to Thompson First after signing the contract. This decision really shocked her.Although Vera had come to Aurous Hill in order to find Charlie, she was not ready to meet Charlie at the moment, so she was absolutely unwilling to come to Thompson First. Fortunately, the back row of the SUV was covered with privacy tinting, so she stayed in the car and waited for Marianne, using the excuse that she was a little unwell. After Marianne had gotten out of the elevator, Madam Marilyn opened the sliding door on the right side of the back of the car. Marianne got into the car and said to the two with a smile, “Sorry to keep the both of you waiting. Let’s go.”Vera heaved a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “It wasn’t that long, it was just five to six minutes.”Marianne nodded and ask
Nanako was following behind Charlie, and when she saw Charlie suddenly stop and frown, she hurriedly asked him, “What’s wrong, Mr. Wade?”Charlie said with a confused expression, “I don’t know either...”After saying that, he subconsciously took the ring out.The ring was still shaking like a Parkinson’s patient when it was between Charlie’s fingers, but after Charlie took it out, it gradually became calm and motionless again.Charlie was even more puzzled. He could not help but wonder, ‘Why are you acting up again? Are you feeling hungry again? Are you trying to cheat me out of my Reiki again?’When Nanako saw Charlie looking at the ring in his hand with a puzzled expression, she asked again, “Charlie-kun, is there anything special about this ring?”Charlie came back to his senses and casually smiled as he said, “It’s nothing special. It’s just a broken ring that I picked up from the walkway earlier. I’ve been hesitating as to whether I should throw it away or not.”Nanako purs
Vera casually said, “It’s that handsome guy who walked past our car in the underground parking lot just now. He’s quite tall and handsome.”“I-Is that so...?” Marianne panicked and said, “I didn’t see him. I was a little distracted just now...”“Okay.” Vera laughed and said, “I’ll be sure to tell you as soon as possible when a handsome guy passes by next time.”“Okay...” Marianne subconsciously answered as she thought that she had fooled Vera successfully.Her series of performances also made Vera even more convinced of her previous judgment that Marianne had come to Aurous Hill for Charlie. Vera did not say anything else but took out her cell phone and typed the words ‘Ito Nanako’ on the search engine. She had already read all of Charlie’s files before and had carefully deduced Charlie’s identity, experience, current business map, and power blueprint.She guessed that Charlie must be leading Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group behind the scenes, so she paid special attention and
When Charlie saw Yahiko once again, he found that he was in very good condition.To Yahiko, the significance of having legs again was comparable to having a new life, so it also made him cherish the present even more.Yahiko was very enthusiastic and respectful when he saw Charlie. He came out personally to welcome Charlie into the house, then served tea to Charlie. Although he was busy walking around the whole time, his excitement could not be concealed at all.Hiroshi, who was aside, was also very respectful as he maintained a bowing posture at a ninety-degree angle.Charlie greeted the two of them, looked at the house curiously, and then said with a smile, “I’ve lived in Thompson First for so long, but this is my first time coming to this high-rise building.”With that said, he looked at the river outside through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and sighed as he said, “The scenery here is really beautiful! Mr. Tanaka, you have really good taste.”Hiroshi, w
