Vera also felt relieved when she saw Charlie looking so confident. She glanced at the time and said, “Young Master, it's almost eight o'clock now. When do you plan to go home?”

Charlie said, “My father-in-law usually leaves for the Calligraphy and Painting Association at nine o'clock. It's quite close to my home. Miss Lavor, there's no need for you to send me back. The helicopter makes too much noise in the downtown area, so I'll go back by myself.”

Vera insisted, “Young Master, how can I let you go back alone? Why don’t you let me drive you back instead?”

Charlie hurriedly declined, “It's really not necessary. I can walk by myself.”

Vera sighed softly and said, “Young Master, if you leave like this and pass by the courtyard downstairs, the servants might misunderstand when they see you leaving my courtyard in the morning.”

Charlie asked awkwardly, “What do you think is appropriate then, Miss Lavor?”

Vera said, “Young Master, please wait a moment. I'll make the arrangements.”

    Mr. Raven nodded excitedly and said, “Miss, you can rest assured. I understand! I completely understand!”As he said that, he could not help but look at Charlie and say in an excited tone, “Mr. Wade, if I may be so bold to speak up, you are the only outsider that Miss has truly opened up her heart to in over three hundred years…”When Mr. Raven realized that his words did not sound right, he hastily explained, “What I mean is, you are the only adult that Miss has opened up her heart to in all these years. The rest of us were raised and have served by Miss since childhood, and Miss only gradually revealed her secrets to us after seeing our good nature and loyalty.”Charlie smiled awkwardly. He was unsure of how to respond, so he diverted the topic, saying, “Mr. Raven, you don't need to address yourself as a servant in front of me. I am truly unworthy…”Mr. Raven responded without hesitation, “No, no, no. Since my enlightenment, I vowed to stay by Miss's side for a lifetime, to serve

    Upon hearing Mr. Raven’s words, both Logan and Emmett were so shocked that they couldn't speak at all. They instinctively stood up, and Emmett looked at Mr. Raven and blurted out, “Mr. Raven, you said Miss has fallen in love. Who has she fallen in love with?”Mr. Raven whispered, “Do you remember what our biggest wish used to be?”Logan replied without hesitation, “Of course! It was for Miss to find her true love, settle down, and not be so lonely for the rest of her life!”Emmett sighed and said, “That’s right! For decades, I've been thinking that before we turned ten, Miss played with us. When we were between our tens to twenties, we played with Miss, and even as we matured, Miss remained forever seventeen. We hoped that one day she'd find her life partner. Later, when we left Miss's side, for many years, sometimes without knowing her whereabouts, I still held onto that hope…”With that said, Emmett looked at Mr. Raven and asked, “Mr. Raven, you mentioned Miss falling in love.

    The three of them had similar personalities, good characters, and virtues. Even though they had chosen different paths in life, they had grown up together around Vera since childhood. This deepened their bond, making them feel like siblings.Emmett had held high positions before, and Logan had inherited a vast fortune. Both of them were very successful in life. On the other hand, Mr. Raven had stayed by Vera’s side as her butler for almost ninety years. This was seemingly without much achievement, but both Emmett and Logan admired him greatly.Over the years, Vera had adopted many children, but very few could stay by her side.Both Emmett and Logan had expressed their desire to stay with Vera, but she hadn’t agreed to it and eventually sent them away. Logan had taken over Vera’s business in Southeast Asia, whereas Vera had seen Emmett’s patriotic spirit and supported his return to serve their country.For the three of them, Vera’s identity and role were extremely special.

    A few minutes later, all the servants of Scarlet Pinnacle Manor returned to their rooms. Mr. Raven, who was extremely attentive, even asked Logan to order the temporary shutdown of all surveillance in the villa. After all, this concerned his young lady’s reputation, so he naturally couldn't leave any risks.Once everything was arranged, Mr. Raven called Vera to report to her. Vera then said to Charlie, “Young Master, Mr. Raven and the others have already prepared everything. Shall we go downstairs?”Charlie nodded politely and said, “Thank you, Miss Lavor.”Vera smiled sweetly and sad, “Young Master, you don’t have to be so polite with me.”After putting away the painting that was completed with the calligraphy, Charlie walked out of the top courtyard of the villa with Vera. As they reached the courtyard gate, they saw three elderly people standing respectfully side by side at the end of the long stone steps below.To Charlie’s surprise, one of them was Emmett Sandsor, a prominent

    So, he spoke up and said, “Gentlemen, I still have some urgent matters to attend to today. After I resolve them, I will come to visit you again. By then, I will prepare some pills that can improve your health. I believe it will be helpful for you.”The three men were a bit stunned. They didn't know much about Charlie and they only knew that he was the miraculous benefactor mentioned by Vera. So, they didn't know what effects Charlie’s pills would have.At this moment, Vera, who was beside them, smiled and said, “Mr. Sandsor, I told you before that your opportunity lies in Aurous Hill. It seems that everything depends on Mr. Wade. Why don't you hurry and express your gratitude to Mr. Wade for saving your life?”Emmett suddenly widened his eyes with an incredulous expression. Vera then turned to the other two and said, “Mr. Raven, Mr. Carrick, Mr. Wade is giving both of you opportunities as well. What are you still waiting for?”At the same time, the three men suddenly came to their

    When Charlie returned to Thompson First, Jacob was arguing with Elaine. Charlie had just walked in holding the scroll containing Marcius’ portrait when he heard Jacob complaining, “You do nothing all day long, and you do not even prepare breakfast. It’s fine if you don't want to cook, but you should at least order some food for me when you get some for yourself. You don't leave anything for me at all after you’ve eaten your fill. I'm in a hurry to go to the association. You can't let me go hungry, right?” Elaine retorted confidently, “Haven't you heard of the phrase ‘Those who don't work don't eat’? Why don't you get up early and make breakfast for me, then? You must be dreaming if you want me to cook for you. Besides, do you think that I don’t need money to order food? If you give me eighty to a hundred thousand dollars a month as pocket money, I'd definitely arrange three meals a day for you without fail!”Jacob was annoyed and said angrily, “All you care about is money!”With

    Jacob had a sad and worried expression as he said to Charlie, “My dear son-in-law, my current situation is indeed a little tricky. There's a lot of gossip going around in the association. Many people say I don't have any real talent and the only reason I'm the vice president is because I have Mr. Bay’s support. Mr. Bay is also in a difficult and passive position as well.”Jacob lowered his voice and continued, “Mr. Bay had dinner with me yesterday and gave me a few subtle hints. The gist is that there are too many people coming to him for advice recently, and many of them want to impeach me. If I can't come up with something soon, it'll be difficult for me to convince everyone…”Charlie nodded and said with a smile, “This matter can be dealt with easily, Dad. I happened to be taking a look at a client’s Feng Shui today, and I noticed he had quite a few paintings at home. Since your calligraphy and painting association is planning an exhibition, I asked if he could lend me a few paint

    After saying that, he quickly asked Charlie, “My dear son-in-law, can I take this painting, then?”Charlie nodded and said with a smile, “Dad, if someone asks you about this painting, just say you bought it from someone but you can’t remember the person’s appearance. As for the process of buying it, you can use your imagination freely to exaggerate and brag about it as much as you want. It’s fine as long as you don’t deviate from the main idea.”Jacob asked in surprise, “My dear son-in-law, wouldn't it be better if I simply said it was a gift from a friend or that it was from my own collection?”Charlie replied earnestly, “Dad, other people might not recognize this painting, but my client would. If he finds out that you're bragging about someone else's painting, he might blame me. If you do it my way, he will know we're protecting his privacy rather than trying to brag about ourselves, and he will feel better as well.”Jacob sighed reluctantly and said, “Okay, then. I’ll do as you

    Hearing Jacob's tone, Charlie could tell that Jacob must have already learned about Matilda's plans to marry Yolden. So, Charlie said, "I'm just around the corner. I'll head over now, and we can meet at the gate." Choking up, Jacob replied, "Alright, I won't drive then. I'll wait for you at the gate. Hurry!" "Okay," Charlie agreed, but after hanging up, he deliberately waited for a few minutes. It was because Yolden had just left moments ago to pick up Matilda at Senior University. If Charlie had gone there right now, all four of them could have run into each other at the gate, which would make things even more awkward. Charlie wasn't worried about feeling awkward himself—he was more concerned about Jacob being further hurt. After intentionally waiting a bit, Charlie finally drove to the university. Just as Charlie drove toward Senior University, Matilda was waiting for Yolden by the roadside at the entrance of Senior University. At this moment, Jacob stumbled out of th

    Charlie asked, "There are too many new domestic energy brands now. Do you think they still have a shot in vehicle manufacturing?" "Of course," Yolden affirmed. "There are indeed many new energy brands now, and many of them are struggling on the edge of survival. A lot of them have already disappeared, but the automotive market is so vast, and new energy vehicles only account for a small portion of it, which proves that the future of new energy still has great potential. Now, if the focus is only on competing with other new energy brands, the scale is indeed a bit small. The scope should be broadened to compete with traditional gasoline vehicle manufacturers. If you can cut Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai's global sales in half, that would truly be a giant." Yolden paused for a moment, almost as if remembering something, and then said, "Actually, you could consider researching this field. You don't lack money or resources, and with Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group as your logistics channe

    When Jacob came to his senses, he was already in tears. The student presumed he was unwell and asked, "Mr. Wilson, do you want me to call your wife to pick you up?" Elaine's sarcastic face immediately popped up in his mind, and he trembled with fear. He quickly wiped away his tears and stammered, "D-don't bother... I... I just got something in my eyes..." The student obviously didn't believe him and asked worriedly, "Why don't you call your wife? Or I'll call a cab for you." "No, no." Jacob waved his hand and said, "I'll call my son-in-law to pick me up. He has just returned to Aurous Hill, so it shouldn't be a problem." After that, he quickly took out his phone and called Charlie. Just a few minutes ago, Charlie had left the cafe and was about to walk Yolden to his car. When he saw Yolden walking straight toward a domestic new energy vehicle, he asked curiously, "I don't think you were driving this model before, were you?" "I just bought it," Yolden replied with a smil

    If Matilda still had feelings for Jacob, his nostalgic strategy would definitely have a strong impact. However, Matilda had already decided to move on, so Jacob's suggestion did not stir any emotions in her at all. With an apologetic smile, she said, "Sorry, Jacob, Yolden is downstairs waiting for me. We have something to discuss. How about another day? We can have dinner together, and I'll treat you." Jacob didn't expect the nostalgia strategy to fall flat. His original plan was to use nostalgia to get Matilda to go with him to eat near the school, then take the opportunity to revisit old places and subtly reignite their past memories. After all, revisiting old places was the best way to rekindle old feelings, no exceptions. It was like drinking the pasta water after cooking the pasta. However, he never imagined that Matilda's expression wouldn't change in the slightest. There was no shyness, no hesitation, no nervousness, and certainly no fluttering heart. She simply and

    Matilda had been listening attentively before, but now, she was lowering her head, fiddling with her phone, and her expression even carried a hint of shyness and happiness, like that of a young girl. Jacob felt a pang of jealousy. While doing the presentation, he couldn't help but resentfully think to himself, "What has Matilda been chatting about with that Yolden guy? She's so happy..." At that moment, Matilda had just received a message from Yolden. In the message, Yolden informed her of the outcome of his conversation with Charlie and expressed his desire to have the wedding as soon as possible. Seeing how eager her beloved was to marry her, Matilda naturally felt very touched. At that moment, she had completely fallen into Yolden's love. For this man, who had a similar background, education, values, and even lifestyle to her own, she could find no fault with him. She felt that he was perfectly tailor-made for her by heaven itself, almost as if everything about him perfectly m

    Charlie's worries were not unfounded. He had long known that Jacob had not completely given up on Matilda despite her relationship with Yolden. After returning from the cultural exchange in Korea, Jacob had been more dejected than ever before—something he hadn't even displayed when his family had gone bankrupt. If there was still a chance to salvage the relationship when one's beloved was merely dating someone else, their marriage was tantamount to a death sentence. Furthermore, considering the high intellectual backgrounds of Matilda and Yolden as well as their age and life experience, their decision to marry at this stage of life undoubtedly signaled their intention to build a long-term future together. This left Jacob with absolutely no chance at all. At this moment, Jacob was blissfully unaware of the devastating news and was busy conducting a calligraphy and painting workshop at Senior University. The so-called workshop was essentially a few slides showcasing classic

    After that, Charlie asked with a bit of curiosity, "When did you and Matilda decide to get married?" Yolden smiled sheepishly and explained, "Remember when the city organized our cultural exchange trip to South Korea? I confessed to Matilda during that trip, and she accepted. After spending some time together, we both felt we were a great match. Considering our age, we didn't want to delay such an important decision any longer, so we decided to take the next step and build a family together." He continued, "Last month, we went to Lambonear for a few days. I bought a ring and proposed to her by the seaside, and she said yes. We also sought the opinion of our respective children—Autumn and Paul—and they were both very supportive. Both kids are exceptional and independent, so they urged us to have the wedding as soon as possible. I wanted to wait until you returned so I could check your schedule. For our wedding, we'd like to ask you to be our officiant." "What? Me as the officiant?

    Charlie said without hesitation, "Sure. When is it convenient for you? Send me the address, and I'll go meet you." Charlie had always respected Yolden not only because he was a nice and talented man but also because he and his mother went way back and went to the same school. Yolden said hastily, "I've just come from Senior University. It's the weekend, and I don't have classes today. Why don't you send me the address and I'll meet you?" Charlie gave it some thought. It was a little past 3 p.m., so Yolden had likely already had lunch, and there were still a few hours until dinner. Inviting him to The Heaven Springs didn't seem ideal for a discussion. Considering that he had lived in the United States for many years and probably had a habit of having coffee in the afternoon, Charlie said, "How about this? There's a Starbucks not far south of the university. Let's meet there for a cup of coffee." "Perfect!" Yolden said with a smile. "I was just thinking you could give me an addre

    On the way back to The Heaven Springs, Julien was in a much better mood than when he had arrived. Initially, he was filled with anxiety, unsure of what Charlie had planned. But now, everything had become clear. The troublesome matter of Salem and Edmund was no longer his concern. All he had to do was wait for the video from the ship to be released and then head back home. Charlie noticed his improved mood and smiled as he asked, "Julien, you've resolved the most critical matter right after landing in Aurous Hill. You must be feeling pretty happy, right?" Julien chuckled and said, "To be honest, before coming here, I was worried that I'd end up going back empty-handed and being secretly mocked by others. But now, it's different. Once your video is released, no one can blame me for not doing my job. If anything, they can only blame their family for missing their chance. After all, so much time has passed, and it's their fault Salem and Edmund were moved to the Middle East." As he
