Paul admired Charlie from the bottom of his heart.He was an American who was more like an Oskian! He was obsessed with Oskian traditional culture and Feng Shui metaphysics to the point of worshipping.Charlie’s earlier comments and remarks made him feel that Charlie’s insight and expertise in Feng Shui were unfathomable. He also understood why someone was willing to give Charlie a fancy villa worth hundreds of millions of dollars.Paul was very aware of the importance of a Feng Shui master. A competent master could not only help people improve their luck and gather wealth, but they could even help people change their luck and therefore their futures! Therefore, every Feng Shui master came with their own price tag, the better they were, the higher their appearance fees were. Rumors had it that Ka-Shing Li, Hong Kong’s wealthiest man, would pay hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars per visit for their designated Feng Shui master.This was also why he felt that the four million
Another example of the overwhelming politeness was when a few people rushed to pay the same bill at the same time after dinner.Everyone rushed to pay, but not all of them were sincere to pay. Their intention was simply to show their effort in being polite as if they would look immature if they didn’t.Therefore, it was quite a common scene for a few people to gather around the cashier, arguing and insisting on paying.Exhausted by such meaningless scenes, Charlie admired Paul’s wittiness and decisiveness. He stopped all the nonsense when Charlie stated that he was busy and saw him off. This was the wise way of communication between smart people.Paul walked Charlie all the way out of his office and came to the elevator lobby. He took the liberty to press the button for Charlie. Then, they both looked at the digital indicator that showed an elevator coming up from the first floor and stopped on their floor.Paul hurriedly gestured as soon as the elevator stopped, but before he man
At this moment, the graceful Jasmine exited the elevator.The purpose of her visit was to give Paul the flower baskets, but she could not take her eyes off Charlie.She was over the moon every time she saw Charlie as if she had returned to her eighteen-year-old self, the tender age when she had first experienced love and passion.In fact, a girl who was from a wealthy and influential family like her had to learn to grow up and be mature earlier than ordinary people. They had to get into the cruel reality earlier and learned to put on a disguise earlier.But ever since she bumped into Charlie and falling in love with him, her ability to put on her disguise failed whenever she was in front of him.She asked shyly while staring at Charlie, her eyes full of admiration and affection, “Master Wade, how do you know Mr. Paul? He just arrived in Oskia not long ago, didn’t he?”Charlie smiled warmly and answered, “My father-in-law and Paul’s mother were college mates, that’s how we knew ea
Jasmine glanced at Paul gratefully. “Okay then, I don’t want to be a bother either. Let’s get together sometime. See ya!”Paul was indeed very high in IQ and EQ. He could see that Jasmine had fallen head over heels for Charlie, hence the favor. If so, he might as well be the gentleman here and help her.Jasmine turned to Charlie and said, “Let’s go then, Master Wade!”Charlie nodded with a polite smile. “Thanks for the lift.”Jasmine smiled, her face blushing shyly. “You’re welcome, Master Wade.”***Jasmine gestured to her bodyguards to carry the flower baskets into Paul’s office. She pressed the elevator, reached out to block the door, and said, “Master Wade, after you!”Charlie nodded slightly and stepped into the elevator, and Jasmine followed in.When the elevator door closed, the faint and luxurious fragrance on Jasmine’s body slowly penetrated Charlie’s nostrils and tingled his sense of smell.He must admit that Jasmine had a great and refined taste. The top notes of th
After Elaine returned to the detention center from the police station for questioning, she was extremely anxious and restless while waiting for the results.She had no idea if the police would release her, so she prayed and prayed wholeheartedly.In the two days since being locked up in the detention center, she had suffered the torment that she had never experienced in her life. She was on the verge of collapsing right now. She feared that she would die here if they didn’t release her.Lady Wilson was in jitters when she knew that Elaine was called to the police station for questioning this morning. She was worried that Elaine would confess to the officer about the bullying she had suffered in the cell by her and Jennifer.She was also worried that Elaine would apply for a cell change.If the officer took her away, her greatest and only pleasure in the detention center would be gone!For so long, Lady Wilson was down in the dumps because of the misfortune and tribulations that s
Lady Wilson snorted coldly. “What did you do wrong, you ask me? Listen, you are wrong as long as you are alive and breathing! Your only choice is to die and not waste the oxygen in this world!”Sharp pain from Elaine’s ear made her shiver in fear. She felt like her ear was about to be pulled off, but she didn’t dare to show the slightest intention of disobedience. She could only swallow the bitterness and endure the pain and suffering with all her might. ‘Just a while longer, just a while longer and I’ll be out of this hell hole!’‘After I get out, this useless old fart will also be released in a couple more days. Until then, she will have no place to stay, no food to eat, and she will probably die on the street! By then, I’ll get my revenge!’Did the old fart really think that she would be held up for ten odd years? She even dreamed of going to stay at the Thompson First villa with that stupid letter! What a joke!The old fart must have never imagined that not only would she not
Elaine was very upset but she knew that the prison guards had absolute authority toward them, so she sheepishly followed everyone out of the cell.When they arrived at the yard, the guards commanded, “First, run three laps around the yard, then you can roam freely for half an hour. After that, line up at the entrance of the yard and return to your cell!”Everyone quickly formed up a line. Jennifer was the head of the cell, so she arranged the queue. She glared at Elaine in dismay and chided, “Hey, you, stand in the front. Everyone will keep their eyes on you. If you don’t run properly, I’ll blow your head!”Then, she turned to other inmates and said, “You and you, help the old lady and run slowly, don’t wear her down.”Lady Wilson chuckled warmly. “Oh, Jennifer, you’re too kind. I am old, but I’m still quite fit and strong. I don’t need anyone to help me, I’ll walk slowly behind you.”Jennifer nodded and shouted, “Get ready, run!”Elaine was in great pain from all the beating and
Everyone started to retreat when they saw how fearsome and intimidating the scar-faced woman was, but the delightful grin on Lady Wilson’s face was a stark contrast to their timid expressions. She was very happy as long as she saw Elaine being beaten.Wendy shared the same gleeful delight too. None of the beatings that Elaine had suffered for the past two days was comparable to the slap she had sustained today. The scar-faced woman must be very strong to be able to knock Elaine to the floor with a simple slap.Elaine, on the other hand, shivered in tremendous horror!Being beaten was not a big deal for her anymore as she had experienced it firsthand for the past two days, but she didn’t understand why the scar-faced woman had beaten her.Was she a member of the transnational scam group that was here to settle the score?Just when Elaine was shaking in fright, Jennifer smiled sheepishly at the scar-faced woman and said, “Sister, we don’t know this woman. If you want to beat her up,
