MasukEven as Claire finished, her heart skipped a beat as she mused to herself.Emgrand Group, the Wades, and Charlie Wade… could there be some connection between them?She then remembered her own family having troubles when news spread that Emgrand Group was changing hands. At the time, her grandmother was intent on securing a project with Emgrand, and sent Claire herself as a representative. She didn't know what to do and thought they stood no chance. And yet, to her surprise, Doris Young, the vice chairwoman of Emgrand, had been very approving of her. Not only had Doris awarded Claire the contract, she had even attended the Wilson family's press conference in person.At the time, Claire just couldn't understand what merited such privilege, but it all makes sense if Charlie was indeed connected to the Wades…Getting nervous, she looked up at Jeevika and asked, "Master Jeevika… Are you suggesting that my husband is a member of the Wade family?"Jeevika never answered, instead co
The fog over the truth shall fade!Jeevika's words really struck a chord with Claire.When it came to those questions in her mind, she would never ask them if Charlie didn't volunteer the information, and certainly no third party would answer them.That was why she always kept those questions buried, and used Charlie's logic to reassure herself from time to time.But when Jeevika said 'The fog over the truth shall fade', it felt like a sudden lightning bolt tore through the thick fog clouding the truth, setting a flame to the curiosity she kept repressed.Hence, she looked up enthusiastically at Jeevika. "Please, Master Jeevika. I'd like to know!"Jeevika nodded and said solemnly, "Your husband's destiny is truly one in a billion. That's why he is fated to rise above everyone else in strength and position, worshipped by millions.""Huh…?" Claire frowned. "He's not as impressive as that. He's just had a little success from self-taught Feng Shui, and it's true that major business
Jeevika smiled. "It's alright. Just give me their names and birth date, and I can more or less divine the hour."Claire nodded and asked, "Well, who should I start with?"Jeevika smiled. "Your parents, and then your husband.""Okay."Claire then told Jeevika her parents' names and birthdate, and Jeevika pinched several different fingers to divine for a moment, before smiling, "Their birth hour may see some tribulations fated in life, but overall speaking, they will enjoy wealth, prestige, and longevity.""Really?" Clarie was beside herself in joy. After all, what was life about if not for pursuing wealth, prestige, and longevity? If what Jeevika said was true, she really didn't have to worry about her parents.For his part, Jeevika wasn't just running his mouth either—both Jacob and Elaine did have it hard in their early life. But ever since Charlie became a big fish in a small pond, their lives changed dramatically and didn't lack riches or prestige. Moreover, with Charl
Most of the worshippers coming to Qi Temple would head straight to the Prana Hall or the Vajra Hall, praying there before moving on to the other halls.As Claire entered with Momo, she had no idea where she should go.Momo, however, seemed to have a plan and immediately pointed at a hallway further to the edge of the main hall, smiling mysteriously. "Since we're here to seek providence, we definitely can't follow the crowd. If anything, we should avoid it—it's a select few who gain such privilege, after all!"Claire smiled, shaking her head. "Alright, since you're definitely more experienced than I am—lead the way."Momo nodded repeatedly, hugging Claire's arm and heading down the hallway, making many turns down different paths until they finally arrived at the gates of the Feather Hall.The 'closed for the day' sign had been removed, and Momo pointed inside as she told Claire, "Let's try this place."Claire was bemused. "There are so many different halls in this temple—we can't
Both Jeevika and Stephen nodded without hesitation, though the latter was already used to it.The last time he fled the Wades, he promptly got on a boat bound for Tahiti, where he started a life off the grid. It was all because he feared that Charlie would find him, and just a little Reiki would make him talk.It was the first time that Jeevika learned that such a thing was possible, but his expression was determined. "Don't worry, Suzanne. I may have devoted myself to religion, but Madam Wade's orders come above all else. If I should fail, I shall disappear and never again use the title of Master Jeevika."Suzanne nodded in satisfaction, but her expression was solemn. "The three of us owe both Mr. and Madam Wade, and have come to learn the sheer desperation Madam Wade went through in her resistance against the Qing Eliminating Society. "Thank the gods that Charlie proved himself and we may yet see the fall of the Qing Eliminating Society. Even so, he remains a big fish in a small
Claire didn't tell Charlie or her parents about going to the Qi Temple, as she believed that praying for her family was fine without them knowing, or announcing it out loud.So early next morning, before Elaine and Jacob woke up, she drove straight to QI Temple.The days were cold and the nights longer before the Oskian New Year, and the sun was barely up when Claire headed outside.A group of devotees was already at the gates, always intent on claiming the first offerings in Qi Temple, happily oblivious that the famous Master Jeevika was visiting again.Jeevika was seated cross-legged in a chamber behind the Feather Hall, chanting a mantra while charging the Reiki in his body.He was only wearing a kasaya, but he felt warm as spring.The hall was closed for the day, and there was a partition raised to cut off the entrance into the hall itself, with a sign that read 'closed for the day' as well.After putting everything in place, every monk retreated outside, quietly guarding th

”Oh, my God!”Sean could not stop himself from exclaiming out loud when he heard this. “Don Albert actually used a knife to carve the words ‘pathetic jerk’ on Cain’s son’s forehead?! You would not be exaggerating if you said that there was a deep hatred between them!”“Yes.” Donald smiled slightly bef
The young man was outraged when Charlie suddenly stopped Loreen and was so direct with him. He growled, “Okay, jerk, if you want to be killed, be my guest! I’ll strip my last name off if I don’t beat you half to death later!”Charlie said flatly, “Since you like to show off so much, I can suggest a n
After getting home and finished making dinner, Jacob, who had been out all day, came home first, then followed by Claire who had been busy at work the whole day.After all the food was served on the table, Elaine hurried back happily and said proudly, “Hey guys, I won more than seven grand from playi
