Se connecterAs Claire didn't answer, Stephen continued, "And what if I told you that the enemy's dead soldiers are stationed everywhere across the world, hiding in places that no one would ever think to find? That they are ready to kill—even if it means getting killed in return? Do you still think the law can protect Master Charlie?"And what if I told you that the enemy is an endlessly sadistic demon who lived four hundred years strong, whose mystical powers stand above the rest of the world? Do you still think the law can protect Master Charlie?"Claire blurted in shock, "T-That's impossible! This is the real world, not some fantasy! No one could live for four hundred years, or wield mystical powers!"Pausing, her expression cooled as it soon occurred to her, and she said solemnly, "You can be frank if you believe that I don't deserve Charlie, or it's Charlie who thinks that. I can leave anytime you need without dragging my feet, so don't you think it's ironic you'd use such excuses to beguil
Claire felt like her world just turned upside down.Never could she have expected that Charlie wasn't just the heir to the Wades of Eastcliff, that he was born into such devastating tragedy and conspiracy.The Wades of Eastcliff were already amongst the strongest families in Oskia, while Charlie's own parents were the most famous Oskian prodigies in the world. However, even they couldn't survive against the enemies who lurked in the shadows, and were forced to send Charlie to an orphanage, burying his identity to keep him safe.At that point, one must consider how terrible Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker's enemies were.Knowing that, Claire couldn't care less to nitpick on the many lies Charlie told her, and asked worriedly, "Is that syndicate still after Charlie now?""Yes!" Stephen nodded repeatedly, his tone solemn. "If they know that he's alive, they will hunt him down however they can!"Claire balled her knuckles before she knew it in rage. "How could they bear so much animosit
Curious, Stephen asked, "Have you met your husband at that time?""Yes," Claire nodded. "Charlie used to work for my grandfather in his construction projects, and my grandfather took a liking to him, and introduced us. He even sponsored Charlie to study in the same college as myself, and was really insistent that I marry him after we graduated. No one could say no."Stephen smiled and asked, "Do you know why?"Claire drew a blank. "I'm not sure… Maybe my grandfather admires him a lot? He never told me the reason, only that I'd lose nothing marrying Charlie."Stephen smiled and nodded. "Your grandfather was Dylan Wilson, if I remember right? His parents had high hopes for him to lead them out of poverty to a life of riches, I believe?"Claire was taken aback. "H-How'd you know?"Stephen smiled and answered her question with a question. "Do you know how he made a living in his younger days?"Claire thought about it. "It's alleged that he was a slave for a really rich family, who t
Claire's stomach was churning.If Charlie really was the heir to the Wades of Eastcliff, a lot of questions in her mind could be answered.For example, why would Doris Young of Emgrand Group treat her like royalty, or think so highly of her at all?She never understood it, but if she presumed that Charlie was the heir to the Wades of Eastcliff, it all made sense.Once Charlie claimed his birthright, Doris would be nothing more than his employee.And as Charlie's wife, it was natural that Doris would afford her such special privilege.There was also the question of why Zeke White would give Charlie a villa in Thompson First, where she and her family resided now. And afterward, just consulting Charlie about Feng Shui would cost upward of millions of Oskian dollars, while their villa was worth upward of a few hundred million.Moreover, there was Shangri-La, the chain of superluxurious five-star hotels, owned by the Wades.Claire then remembered how Charlie rented their hanging gar
Even 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
Even though he was touched by his grandson's filial piety, he still felt unworthy of being a grandfather and thought he didn't deserve such deep filial piety from his grandson.When he heard that Charlie no longer blamed him, the huge burden in his heart finally fell.At this moment, Charlie looked at
"What did you say?! What has happened to him? Is it bad?!" Hector, who was hoping for Gustavo's death, was so excited to hear the remarks that he sounded a little excited when he spoke. On the other end of the line, Ricardo asked skeptically, "Hector, do you not hear me clearly? Why do you sound so
Charlie instructed Shawn over the phone to arrange a private plane to take Janus to Aurous Hill at nine tonight and requested a convoy from Janus' house to take him to the airport. Though Shawn wasn't happy about it, he didn't dare to argue and reluctantly agreed with a smile.Later, Charlie and Vera
“You're right, Young Master!” Vera said confidently over the phone, “I'm heading to Yorkshire Hill right now!”Charlie was puzzled and asked, “What are you going to do in Yorkshire Hill?”Vera sighed lightly and said with a touch of melancholy, “Young Master, ever since the Mother of Pu’er Tea met wit
