Charlie felt that his brain was completely exhausted, and he couldn't make sense of the logic at all. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Vera had used the name âVeronâ during her visit to Aurous Hill, but after meeting him, she referred to herself as âVeraâ.Although there was only a slight difference between the names âVeraâ and âVeronâ, the meaning was extraordinary for Charlie.He almost instantly felt a chill down his spine and weakly asked in shock, âNoâĶ DoâĶ Do you remember me?âVera nodded and struggled to hold the weak Charlie as she moved toward her bedroom. She said softly, âCharlie, you saved my life in Northern Europe. Iâll never forget that!â Charlie was extremely shocked. He muttered, âWhyâĶ Why can you still remember? Could it beâĶ Could it be that youâre a cultivator as well?âVera smiled shyly and said, âCharlie, Iâm not a cultivator, but my body is a little special, so you canât erase my memoriesâĶâAfter saying this, she felt the physical contact between

Vera nodded and said, âI know a bit of everything, but just the basics.âCharlie could not help but sigh and say, âI brought many pills with me before I set off, but Iâm left with nothing nowâĶâAfter saying that, he remembered something and quickly asked Vera, âBy the way, what is the date and time now?âCharlie did not know how long it had taken for him to suddenly appear here. If it only took him a short while, he still had time to rush home to destroy the letter that he had left behind for Claire. If a long time had passed, Claire might have already found out about his secret, then.When Vera saw that Charlie was extremely anxious, she hurriedly said, âDonât worry, Charlie. I heard the explosion in the southern suburbs just a few seconds before you appeared in the hot spring pool. It has only been a little more than half an hour since then.âCharlie finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Vera remembered something from his previous murmurings and suddenly said wit
The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 5658
Upon hearing Veraâs explanation, Charlie subconsciously frowned and asked, âHow is that possible? You must be lying to me.ââWhy would I lie to you?â Vera said with certainty, âItâs absolutely true! I can swear on my life!â Charlie shook his head and spoke very seriously and earnestly, âI'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I believe that this ring can indeed send people to others, but when the explosion happened just now, I wasn't thinking of youâĶ I was thinking about my deceased parentsâĶâ With that said, Charlie continued murmuring, âIt seems that an image of my wife flashed in my mind at the very end. If what you said is true, the ring should have sent me to my wife insteadâĶâVera pursed her lips and said with a hint of sadness, âCharlie, Iâm not lying to you. I naturally know that you will not think of me in a moment of life and death. Itâs just that my father was the one who left this ring to me. He wanted to see me the most before he died, so the ring sent him to me.â

Vera giggled and said, âCoincidentally, I still have the very last piece of Puâer tea left. I've been reluctant to drink it, and I have been waiting for the day when I can personally brew it for you to taste it. Charlie, please wait a moment!âCharlie hurriedly said, âMiss Lavor, there's no need to trouble yourself. Just pour me a glass of water.âVera stood up and did not look back as she said, âThe Puâer tea that I saved is the best Pu'er tea in the world. Charlie, you will definitely regret it in the future if you donât taste it.âAfter saying that, Vera added, âMoreover, I will start explaining everything that youâre curious about, starting from that piece of Puâer tea.â Vera then quickly fetched her complete tea set and the piece of Pu'er tea she had always treasured without waiting for Charlieâs response.After returning to the bedside, Vera carefully lit the olive charcoal in the copper stove. While waiting for the water to boil, she opened the well-aged Pu'er tea with a

âWhatâĶ What did you say?!â Veraâs casually spoken words made Charlie feel like his whole body had gone numb. This was not an exaggeration. He genuinely felt a tingling sensation from his scalp to his toes!Vera claimed that she had witnessed the Mother of Puâer Tea failing to overcome calamity by the Heavenly Lake three hundred years ago. Did that mean she was now over three hundred years old?! Charlie couldn't believe Veraâs statement at first. After all, even if a person truly found the path to longevity, it was usually a gradual process. People might start cultivating in one's twenties or thirties, but it was often possible for cultivation to take place around the age of fifty or sixty, or even older. As oneâs cultivation deepened, oneâs lifespan would extend, but even a cultivator over a hundred years old, like the great earl from Qing Eliminating Society, retained the appearance of a man at around sixty years old.If Vera was truly over three hundred years old, she should

Charlie subconsciously asked Vera, âDid you paint this painting?âVera nodded and said, âI painted this a few days ago. I painted it especially for you, Young Master.âCharlie could not help but feel amazed. He never expected Vera to have such extraordinary painting skills. Just a while ago, his father-in-law had mentioned an art exhibition organized by the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and he was struggling to find good works. If Charlie brought this painting there, it might cause a sensation among landscape painters nationwide!Vera suddenly grabbed Charlieâs right hand, which was adorned with a ring, and intertwined her fingers with his. She then said with an expectant expression, âYoung Master, dare I suggest taking you to witness its appearance three hundred years ago with your own eyes?âWith that said, the ring, which had been silent all this time, seemed to understand Veraâs words and released a bit of Reiki directly toward both of their minds.In the next moment,

When Veraâs figure disappeared on a mountaintop, Charlieâs awareness instantly returned from the deep mountains of southern Yorkshire Hill to reality.The moment he opened his eyes, he fully believed Veraâs words. He believed that this girl had lived from three hundred years ago until now. At this moment, he finally realized why he had always felt that Vera was extraordinary but could never quite grasp what the issue was.At seventeen or eighteen, she was proficient in the near-divine art of divination that even someone like Chandler couldn't master at a hundred years old.At seventeen or eighteen, she was relentlessly pursued by the Qing Eliminating Society. If the Qing Eliminating Society had been hunting her down for five years, wouldn't she have been engaging in a battle of wits with them since she was twelve years old?Similarly, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she mysteriously appeared in Aurous Hill shortly after parting ways with him in Northern Europe, appearing befor

Vera chuckled, folded her hands gracefully at one side of her waist, and bowed slightly to Charlie. She said respectfully, âYoung Master, you donât need to address me so respectfully. You can just call me Vera.â Charlie said earnestly, âNo, you're almost four hundred years old, so I should address you as my elderâĶâVera smiled and said seriously, âIn my point of view, I'm just a girl who hasnât grown up, not an immortal old witch. Although I have indeed lived for nearly four hundred years, I still feel as if Iâm just seventeen years oldâĶââWellâĶâ Charlie found himself in an awkward situation, with two conflicting voices arguing in his mind.One voice said, âShe's right. Even though she's lived for almost four hundred years, she has always been a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.âThe other voice argued, âBut she's almost four hundred years old! What does four hundred years mean?! You haven't even reached thirty years old this year!âCharlie was afraid of being tangled up in t

Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e

Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6609
Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressiveâyou can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they areâ"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can doâĶ I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his

Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worryâit's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use
The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6607
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien RothschildâĶ A friend of mine from the statesâĶ"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.
The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6606
Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause troubleâI'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6605
If Charlie really did get Jimmy to stay, who knew what other rubbish Jimmy would spout.As for Jimmy, he was actually surprised Charlie was asking him to stay, and his instincts told him that Charlie definitely didn't mean well.Not only that, he was on foreign soilâwouldn't he be defenseless if Charlie called in his friends to beat him up?Hence, he shook his head without hesitation as he said, "I'm sorry, but my sister-in-law is quite keen for me to leave, so I have no reason to stay and add to her problems. And it is her big day. I can afford to let her save face instead of spilling the beans on her all at once.""Oh, but you were complaining about the lack of important people just now!" Charlie quickly interjected. "It just so happens that we have a big-shot on his way here, and he's a good friend of the groom. When I told him about you over the phone, he said to keep you here no matter what it took, since he would like to talk to you face to face."Jimmy frowned. "What, are y
The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6604
And with those words, Jimmy turned to leave.Despite threatening Matilda, there was no such agreement, and he knew that Matilda was well aware of that.Regardless, the only strategy he had in mind when he came to Oskia was harassment. As such, he simply came up with a lie to make Matilda look bad in public. All it took from there was just for one person to relay what he had saidâeven if it were all lies, Matilda's character would still be called into question.He made himself very clear so that Matilda would understand that if she didn't give in, his family would keep hounding her to take their two pounds of flesh. Even if she wouldn't surrender the stateside estates and human resources of Smith Group Corporate Law, they would still claim a sizable chunk.But if that failed too, they would just have to destroy Matilda's reputation along with Smith Group Corporate Law.Either way, they were not letting her off easy!And reading that much from Jimmy's behavior, Matilda snapped co
The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6603
Jimmy didn't expect Matilda to break down the share ownership of Smith Group Corporate Law to such detail, and he hollered as he was starting to feel embarrassed, "Now, you're just being irresponsible, Matilda. My father gave my brother a million to start the law firm in the first place, and they had agreed that the family would have a stake, albeit only at 49%, to not deny your decision-making as a startup. Or are you denying it?"Matilda immediately became furious and snapped, "Bullshit! That was just a loan of one million, and the agreed term was three years. However, your brother returned it in one! I even asked him to return the money with every single one of his siblings watching, since you might all get skeptical, yet suddenly, you're calling it an investment?""You said he's returned it? Well, what proof do you have?" Jimmy quickly shot back. "Our entire family can testify that the money hasn't come back to us!""So, this is how you're going to play it?" Matilda smirked. "Th
