Donald replied indifferently, “I am not asking you to help me deal with the Moore family. My son has recently fallen in love with Jasmine, and he would like to marry Jasmine from the Moore family. However, I heard that Jasmine seems to be in love with someone else. Therefore, I would really appreciate it if you could help me to find out the identity of the man Jasmine is in love with. If you can help me find this young man, I will definitely offer you a great reward!”Zeke and the others immediately exchanged glances with one another again.If Donald was saying that Jasmine already had someone she was interested in, they believed that this person would be none other than Mr. Wade himself…However, it was naturally impossible for them to tell Donald about Charlie or to even mention his name to him.At this time, Cain asked diligently, “Mr. Webb, do you want me to kill this person as soon as I find him?”Donald waved his hand as he said, “I do not need your help with anything else i
When Donald learned that Anthony was in Aurous Hill, he became very excited.He had already heard about Anthony’s superb medical skills ever since a long time ago. Since Anthony could even cure the supposedly incurable high paraplegia, it would surely not be impossible for him to cure the strange disease and illness that his second son, Kian, has recently contracted!As he thought about this, he was in a very good mood. After that, he turned around to look at Sean before he said, “Prepare a generous gift! We will go to the Serene World Clinic to see Dr. Anthony early tomorrow morning!”Sean simply nodded as he said, “Okay, dad. I will make all the necessary preparations.”“Okay,” Donald replied as a rare smile appeared on his face. He was very relaxed and much more relieved when he said, “I think that it would be best if we could solve all these problems at once. First, we can find a cure for your younger brother and find the culprit who did this to your younger brother! After that
Albert could not help but feel a little worried when he thought about this. He could tell that Donald truly hated the person who had had a run-in with Kian. Moreover, it was also obvious that he was very extremely angry and frustrated with the man that Jasmine was in love with.If these two things pointed to two different people, both of them would undoubtedly face a fate worse than death. At the very least, in Donald’s eyes, both of these targets would have to be killed.If these two things pointed toward the same person, Albert believed that the Webb family would definitely do everything in their ability to kill and destroy this person.Therefore, he could not help but feel a little worried about Charlie.Even though he knew that Charlie was very strong and capable, he was still worried that Charlie would be facing a lot of trouble when he faced a powerful and influential family such as the Webb family.After the dinner, everyone walked Donald and his son, Sean, to the ground
Aurora was sweating profusely and panting from exhaustion at this time.She had already completed several sets of exercises that she had planned for herself. After she was done with her exercises, she carefully observed herself in the huge mirror in front of her.In fact, Aurora had a very good figure.Since she was frequently exercising, her figure was very fit and muscular, and she had a better body line and shape compared to any ordinary girl.At this time, Aurora was wearing a very tight-fitting shirt and a pair of yoga pants that were hugging her waist, hips, and legs as she tied her hair up in a neat ponytail. She looked extremely hot!As she was admiring her figure in the mirror, all that was running through her mind was Charlie.As she thought about Charlie, she suddenly felt very embarrassed and started blushing immediately.Her father had always asked her to look for ways to get closer to Charlie. However, Charlie was always very mysterious with his whereabouts, and it
”Sigh!” Graham could not help but sigh out loud. After that, he said, “You’ve caused quite some harm to Mr. Wade this time! Now, the Webb family is here to look for him! Donald is gathering all the heads of the powerful and prestigious families in Aurous Hill to help him find out more information about Mr. Wade!”“What?!” Aurora started panicking, and she blurted out immediately, “Dad, will the Webb family try to find fault with Mr. Wade?”Graham replied, “The Webb family is after Mr. Wade’s life!”Aurora cried out anxiously, and she hurriedly said, “Dad, this incident happened all because of me. Can you tell the Webb family that the reason why Kian turned out this way was because of me?! I do not want Mr. Wade to get involved and dragged into this matter because of me…”“Are you honestly that stupid?!” Graham could not help but sigh as he said, “Do you think that the Webb family are really such reasonable people? Since Kian contracted this sudden illness because of Mr. Wade, do yo
Charlie had just eaten his dinner and was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen at this time. When he received the phone call from Graham, he quickly answered the call before he asked, “Mr. Quinton, why are you looking for me?”Graham hurriedly replied, “Mr. Wade, there is something I have to report to you after discussing this matter with Mr. White and Don Albert.”Charlie smiled indifferently before he said, “If there is anything you need to tell me, you can just speak to me directly. You don’t have to be so polite toward me.”Graham quickly replied, “Okay, Mr. Wade. I will just say it, then. Today, Donald from the Webb family in Sudbury hosted a banquet dinner at The Heaven Springs. He invited some of the heads of the most wealthy and powerful families in Aurous Hill including Mr. White, Don Albert, and myself to attend the banquet dinner tonight. Then, he asked us for some help to deal with some matters, and we felt that something was not right. Therefore, we decided to report t
Actually, Charlie knew very well in his heart that Jasmine definitely had some feelings for him.However, he did not know how to deal with this kind of affection. Therefore, he decided to simply pretend that nothing was going on so that he could just deal with this matter in the future.***Donald woke up early the next day.He was unable to sleep well all night because he was very worried and concerned about looking for Anthony to treat his second son, Kian.Kian’s current situation was still relatively pessimistic. His condition of having to eat shit had not been alleviated at all, and Kian’s current emotion and mental health were also gradually starting to collapse.Who wouldn’t feel that way? He had to eat shit more than twenty times a day, and it was only inevitable for him to feel as though he was on the verge of collapse.Furthermore, Kian himself had grown up as a spoiled and pampered child. The thought of having to do this kind of thing for the rest of his life was even
As soon as they heard his order, a few bodyguards quickly rushed forward before they grabbed the man and started punching and kicking him.An old lady in her seventies who was standing next to the man started crying and shouting when she saw those men beating her son up. “I beg you, please stop beating him up already. We will just leave, we will leave now, okay?!”The leader of the bodyguards said, “What the hell? You should have just done so from the very beginning!”Then, the leader kicked the middle-aged man aside as he took out one thousand dollars and threw it on the man’s face before he cursed, “Get out of here now!”The old lady continued crying as she used all of her strength and effort to help her son to stand. The people who were gathered outside the Serene World Clinic were all very angry when they witnessed this scene. However, since they saw that the other party was already driving so many luxury cars with so many bodyguards with them, they knew that they could not aff
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
