LOGINStephen smiled wryly. "Far as I know, even ten Master Charlie as he is now won't stand a chance."His face was wrinkled, but his eyes were clear looked Claire straight in the eye and sighed, "Please, Mrs. Wade. That is why I'm asking that you leave Master Charlie for the time being. He never told you anything because he didn't want to get you involved—to protect you. "However, it also puts him under a lot of pressure and distracts him. Surely you remember the time when your mother went missing for a while?"Claire nodded. "Yeah, she was tricked into a pyramid scheme…""That's not actually the case," Stephen smiled, shaking his head. "Your mother stole Master Charlie's debit card, which contained ten billion Oskian dollars that Jeremiah Wade entrusted me to wire into his account. Once your mother managed to find the pin code, she wired all the money to herself."Master Charlie was therefore worried he would be exposed, and lied that it was a fake debit card to cover his tracks. He
Even before Claire could understand what Jeevika was saying, she could see the withering flowers coming to life again.The flowers that had turned ashen brown were suddenly vibrant and colorful again, the dried twigs and petals fresh and alive.Having never seen anything like that before, Claire was left completely dumbfounded.In her mind, life once lost couldn't be regained.So why was Jeevika able to restore life to those flowers?It really shattered everything she was taught for years, or what she thought of this world.But soon, she could even smell the faint fragrant scent of the flowers—it was fresh and natural. It was no sleight of hand—it was definitely nothing short of pure magic!Gaping at Jeevika, she blurted, 'H-How did you do this? How are you capable of such miracles?""Amitabha," Jeevika replied calmly. "But such paltry sticks are insignificant to Master Charlie's power."Claire was even more dumbstruck at that. "You're saying… Charlie can do this too?!""Of
As Claire didn't answer, Stephen continued, "And what if I told you that the enemy's dead soldiers are stationed everywhere across the world, hiding in places that no one would ever think to find? That they are ready to kill—even if it means getting killed in return? Do you still think the law can protect Master Charlie?"And what if I told you that the enemy is an endlessly sadistic demon who lived four hundred years strong, whose mystical powers stand above the rest of the world? Do you still think the law can protect Master Charlie?"Claire blurted in shock, "T-That's impossible! This is the real world, not some fantasy! No one could live for four hundred years, or wield mystical powers!"Pausing, her expression cooled as it soon occurred to her, and she said solemnly, "You can be frank if you believe that I don't deserve Charlie, or it's Charlie who thinks that. I can leave anytime you need without dragging my feet, so don't you think it's ironic you'd use such excuses to beguil
Claire felt like her world just turned upside down.Never could she have expected that Charlie wasn't just the heir to the Wades of Eastcliff, that he was born into such devastating tragedy and conspiracy.The Wades of Eastcliff were already amongst the strongest families in Oskia, while Charlie's own parents were the most famous Oskian prodigies in the world. However, even they couldn't survive against the enemies who lurked in the shadows, and were forced to send Charlie to an orphanage, burying his identity to keep him safe.At that point, one must consider how terrible Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker's enemies were.Knowing that, Claire couldn't care less to nitpick on the many lies Charlie told her, and asked worriedly, "Is that syndicate still after Charlie now?""Yes!" Stephen nodded repeatedly, his tone solemn. "If they know that he's alive, they will hunt him down however they can!"Claire balled her knuckles before she knew it in rage. "How could they bear so much animosit
Curious, Stephen asked, "Have you met your husband at that time?""Yes," Claire nodded. "Charlie used to work for my grandfather in his construction projects, and my grandfather took a liking to him, and introduced us. He even sponsored Charlie to study in the same college as myself, and was really insistent that I marry him after we graduated. No one could say no."Stephen smiled and asked, "Do you know why?"Claire drew a blank. "I'm not sure… Maybe my grandfather admires him a lot? He never told me the reason, only that I'd lose nothing marrying Charlie."Stephen smiled and nodded. "Your grandfather was Dylan Wilson, if I remember right? His parents had high hopes for him to lead them out of poverty to a life of riches, I believe?"Claire was taken aback. "H-How'd you know?"Stephen smiled and answered her question with a question. "Do you know how he made a living in his younger days?"Claire thought about it. "It's alleged that he was a slave for a really rich family, who t
Claire's stomach was churning.If Charlie really was the heir to the Wades of Eastcliff, a lot of questions in her mind could be answered.For example, why would Doris Young of Emgrand Group treat her like royalty, or think so highly of her at all?She never understood it, but if she presumed that Charlie was the heir to the Wades of Eastcliff, it all made sense.Once Charlie claimed his birthright, Doris would be nothing more than his employee.And as Charlie's wife, it was natural that Doris would afford her such special privilege.There was also the question of why Zeke White would give Charlie a villa in Thompson First, where she and her family resided now. And afterward, just consulting Charlie about Feng Shui would cost upward of millions of Oskian dollars, while their villa was worth upward of a few hundred million.Moreover, there was Shangri-La, the chain of superluxurious five-star hotels, owned by the Wades.Claire then remembered how Charlie rented their hanging gar
Zayne could see the disdain and ridicule in Charlie’s expression, and he said coldly, “It seems as though you do not know anything about martial arts! You might not be able to find even ten people who are six-star martial artists in the entire mercenary field! It would be extremely easy for me to ki
She could not help but criticize him in her heart, ‘If you did not plan on letting Tom go, you could simply have said that you cannot forgive him and that it’d be useless for anyone to beg for mercy, right?’‘But you just had to force me to admit that I did not come to plead for mercy on Tom’s behalf
When Doris said that Charlie was not too concerned with the affairs of Emgrand Group, it was actually an expression of her true inner feelings.She knew that Charlie was in the lounge behind her office. So, she was intentionally saying this to Charlie.Ever since Emgrand Group had undergone a change o
For Sophie, although she also criticized and felt bothered over many of her father’s actions, no matter what it was, they had a blood relationship, and she still had family affection for him. So, she was very worried about her father’s safety after finding out about the critical situation in Syria.W
