Charlie originally felt no sympathy for Jameson at all. There were so many parents of children who had cancer in this world, and Jameson was just one of the millions, which was nothing special at all. Most importantly, Jameson originally had the opportunity to save his son’s life, but he gave up on this opportunity because of his own ignorance and arrogance. In that case, he no longer deserved anyone’s sympathy. Charlie never thought about giving Jameson or his son a chance.However, Charlie was surprised when Leni mentioned that Jameson had actually resigned from his position and job as the head of the FDA after Charlie met him last time and told him that he would have to pay back first if he wanted something. Jameson had then sold his property and brought his son with him to Aurous Hill to do charity. Although Charlie was well aware that the reason why Jameson did this was probably to fight for a chance for his son, Charlie appreciated the fact that he really tried hard in the
Leni said seriously, “I don’t know whether he is trustworthy or not, but I can verify indirectly from other aspects that he is a trustworthy person.”Shermaine asked doubtfully, “How can you verify it indirectly?”Leni looked at her and asked, “Do you think Charles is a bad person?”Shermaine pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, “I think he shouldn’t be a bad person, and I don’t think that he’s a rich heir who only knows how to spend money either. I have this feeling that he’s a little profound, but I don’t know if it’s just my misconception.”Leni smiled faintly and said, “I dare not say whether he’s a profound person or not, but like you, I don’t think that he’s a bad person.”Leni then added, “What I meant by indirect verification is through our feeling that Charles is not a bad person. If he gives off the feeling that he is a bad person, then we shouldn’t believe in anything he says at all. However, since the two of us think that he is not a bad person, we have
Charlie no longer cared about Fleur’s whereabouts.After all, since Fleur had appeared on Mount Turtle Back this time, this could only mean that she had completely integrated into the secular world this time. Since she had completely integrated into the secular world, she would definitely be recorded by various surveillance monitoring systems. As long as Emmett could help him retrieve the surveillance videos, he would be able to restore and gauge Fleur’s approximate movement route in the country. Therefore, Charlie felt that there was no need for him to pay attention to Fleur at the moment. With Fleur’s strength, he would only be making things worse if he were to approach her rashly. It would be better for him to let her go wherever she wanted to go first, then wait until she had gone where she wanted to before following the clues to sort out her route. As long as Charlie could finally lock down on the spot where she entered Mount Tason, he would be able to basically pinpoint
“Go to Apothecary Pharmaceutical?” Jameson instinctively asked, then exclaimed, “Why are we going to Apothecary Pharmaceutical?”Leni's voice was somewhat excited as he said, “I have a friend who helped me and Shermaine secure spots for the clinical trial of the Apothecary Restoration Pill. It seems like he really has connections with the top brass of Apothecary Pharmaceutical. I asked him to get a spot for little Jimmy, and he agreed. We're rushing over to coordinate with them. You should hurry up and bring little Jimmy over!”Jameson could hardly believe his ears and asked doubtfully, “Weren't both of you already rejected by them? Jimmy doesn't meet their point standards as well. Who exactly is your friend? How does he have such great influence?”Leni replied, “I don't know much about his background either. He said he has a good relationship with Liam from Apothecary Pharmaceutical. Although there's no solid proof that he really knows Mr. Weaver, I feel that he's not joking with u
Leni sighed softly and asked him, “Mr. Smith, will you be bringing Jimmy over, then? If you're coming together with us, I'll wait for you at the entrance of Apothecary Pharmaceutical.”Jameson pondered for a moment and clenched his teeth, saying, “There's a saying in Oskia that ‘it’s better to have faith than none at all’. Okay, I'll go to the hospital now to pick Jimmy up. I’ll then meet you at the entrance of Apothecary Pharmaceutical.”Leni replied, “No problem. Let’s meet at the entrance of Apothecary Pharmaceutical.”Leni added, “By the way, Mr. Smith, my friend said this is somewhat of a special operation, so let's keep it low-key.”Jameson immediately said without hesitation, “I understand!”-After hanging up the phone, Jameson said to his church friends, “I have something to attend to, so I'll leave everything here to you guys.”Most of Jameson’s church friends were from the United States just like him. Some of them had arrived in Aurous Hill earlier, and due to their r
Some people were unlucky and could not find any target points in their genes, so they could not use targeted drugs for treatment. Without available targeted drugs, only traditional chemotherapy and radiation therapy were left.Jimmy's current situation was that chemotherapy was already the final barrier. However, Jameson was well aware that this last barrier was now on the verge of collapse, and it could probably only sustain Jimmy for a few months, at most.Jameson came to the hospital's day ward as if he was on autopilot. At this moment, every bed in the ward had a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy. Among these cancer patients, Jimmy was the youngest. Originally, there was also a child of only five years old here who was terminally ill with leukemia. The child had recently passed the approval of Apothecary Pharmaceutical and obtained a quota for clinical trials, so he was transferred to the internal laboratory of Apothecary Pharmaceutical for treatment.At that time, Jameso
Jenny couldn't understand why her husband suddenly wanted to take their son out. Even though their son was critically ill, she still regarded chemotherapy as her son's last lifeline. When she saw her husband wanting to take their son out before the chemotherapy was finished, she quickly stopped him and said, “Are you crazy? No matter what it is, we have to wait until the chemotherapy is over!”Jameson waved his hand and said, “There's no time to wait. I'm taking him out now.”Jameson then took a step forward without waiting for Jenny to press the call button, removed the infusion needle from his son, and then carried his son, who was asleep, and walked out.Jenny, who was both shocked and angry, followed him and scolded him from the back, “Jameson! Put Jimmy down now! He still has half of his chemotherapy drugs left. You'll kill him if you do this!” Jameson didn't say anything, but his pace quickened, and he ran out of the hospital as if he were fleeing.Jenny hurriedly chased
Leni said, “Please wait a moment. I'll make a call. My friend has an appointment with Mr. Weaver.”The security guard was surprised and puzzled. He said, “With Mr. Weaver? That's unlikely. Mr. Weaver hasn't been meeting visitors lately. Recently, everyone who claimed to have an appointment with Mr. Weaver has basically been persuaded to leave.”Leni replied, “I don't know the specifics. Can I make a call first?”The security guard nodded and said, “You can make a call, but it can't be too long because we have rules here.”Leni understood that the security guard had his duties as well, so he said, “Please wait a moment. I'll be quick.”With that said, he pressed the call button and called Charlie.As the phone rang, Leni's heart raced. Although he didn't believe Charlie would joke about such matters, he was still worried that Charlie might not answer the call or that he would hang up the phone directly.Meanwhile, Charlie was on his way to Pu’er. When he received an unfamiliar ca
With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
