Daniel escorted Claire into his office. The moment the door was closed, a flash of lustful desire appeared in Daniel’s eyes.He locked the door quietly and invited Claire to sit on the sofa.Claire was feeling a little awkward and gawky. She sat opposite him with her hands folded on her thighs.Daniel started with a smile, “Miss Wilson, may I know what is the occasion of your visit today?”Claire managed a timid smile and said, “Frankly speaking, Mr. Koch, our company is having some problem with our cash flow recently, so I would like to ask if you can let us buy the first batch of materials on credit please?”“On credit, huh?” Daniel withdrew his smile and replaced it with a frown. “Miss Wilson, I’m sure you must be aware of my company’s policy. We never allow credit payment or deliver the materials first. It’s always—pay first and materials are delivered later…”“I know,” Claire said apologetically, “My hands are tied right now, but don’t worry, the project we’re working on is
Looking back at his dull and stale life, he hadn’t had a chance to have an affair, let alone be physically involved with such perfect beauty. He dedicated half of his life to that disgusting hag that he despised so much.Today was the day for him to break the restricted chains of fate!Yes!He wanted a taste of Claire!He wanted to jump on the gorgeous that all men in the city were crazy about!As his thought ran wild, he pasted a smile and said, “Miss Wilson, we can talk it out since you’ve come all the way here with such request. I’m not that hard to deal with as you think.”Claire quickly sat back down, thinking that there was a chance to reverse the situation, and asked excitedly, “Mr. Koch, will you sell us your materials on credit?”He didn’t say it specifically, but rather vaguely, “I will definitely refuse them if it is someone else, but if it is you, Miss Wilson, that’s a different story…”Claire hurriedly said, “Actually, our collaboration with Emgrand Group is very c
Daniel was bouncing off the wall as he watched Claire gulp down the tea.Now, all he had to do was wait for the sleeping pills to take effect!After drinking the tea, Claire soon realized that something was off!She felt like her head was spinning, it was very dizzy and heavy.What was going on?She was utterly shocked as a thought crossed her mind!Did Daniel drug her?!She trembled in shock and fear when she thought of such circumstances!She wanted to get up, but her legs were giving way. From the looks of it, it was impossible for her to escape by herself!While she was still conscious, she stealthily took out her phone, searched for Charlie’s contact in her chatting app, and pressed the audio record button.As the phone was recording her voice message, she said to Daniel, “Mr. Koch, I feel a little dizzy, is there something wrong with the tea?”Daniel chuckled. “No, nothing’s wrong! This tea is the top PG Tips Diamond tea bag that I got from England, fifteen grand per t
“Okay!”***A while later, an exclusive civilian helicopter roared thunderously in the sky.Inside the helicopter were Isaac and ten men in black.Isaac was donning a gloomy look. That stupid f*cker, how dare he make his move on Mrs. Wade? This was Aurous Hill! He had just signed his death wish!The helicopter flew at high speed, and before long, it arrived above Claire’s house.Charlie rushed to the rooftop, climbed directly into the helicopter, and hurriedly demanded, “Get to Elite Vault Enterprise as soon as possible!”***Meanwhile, at Elite Vault Enterprise.As Claire was slowly lying down with no strength to struggle, Daniel grinned excitedly and stretched out his hands, trying to take Claire’s clothes off!At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open!An ugly woman with an aggressive look stampeded into the room along with a few big and brawny men!Seeing Daniel’s hands on Claire’s clothes, the woman cursed furiously, “Daniel Koch! How dare you cheat on me!”Da
The battleax gave Claire a slap across the face that sent Claire spinning but made her a little soberer.Cupping her swollen face, Claire looked at the fierce-looking woman and asked, “Who are you? What are you doing?”The woman gritted her teeth. “What am I doing? I want to kill you, you little b*tch!”Then, she turned to the bodyguard next to her. “Where’s the knife? Give it to me! I want to destroy this slut’s face!”“Yes, Miss!”The bodyguard produced a sharp knife and said, “Miss, don’t stain your hands with the slut’s blood, let me do it!”The woman raised her hand and slapped him. She snatched the knife off his hand and shouted, “Shut up, idiot!”The bodyguard knelt on the floor, petrified. “Miss, I’m sorry, please forgive me!”The woman stomped him and growled, “Get out of my way, fool!”She held the knife firmly in her hand, turning to Claire and was about to jump on her.Claire was so frightened, her body was shaking violently. She struggled desperately but the braw
The battleax caught her breath and blurted, “Listen carefully, idiot! My name is Sharon Frye! I’m the daughter of the Frye family in Lancaster! Have you heard of the Frye family? Our boss is the Wade family of Eastcliff! No matter how strong you think you are, if you mess with me, our Frye family will never spare you! The Wade family will hunt you!”“Oh?” Charlie grinned. “Listen carefully shrew, I AM the son of the Wade family in Eastcliff! I AM your boss! My name is! CHARLIE! WADE!!!”“Huh!!!”Sharon’s eyes were so wide, it almost fell off her eye sockets, her jaw dropped!She stared at Charlie like she was looking at a ghost.“You… you… you are the young master of the Wade family? How could it be! Why is the son of the Wade family in a small place like Aurous Hill!”Isaac marched forward and yelled, “Sharon Frye! Watch your tongue! He is Charlie Wade, the young master of the Wade family!”Sharon finally saw Isaac!Isaac Cameron!He…He was the spokesperson of the Wade fami
A crisp snap resonated!Sharon’s spine also broke!Another one!Both husband and wife were quadriplegics!There would never be a chance of recovery!Isaac walked forward and said respectfully, “Boss, the three hundred excavators and bulldozers I’ve mobilized have arrived. We will flatten the entire Elite Vault Enterprise to the ground with just one order from you!”“Good!” Charlie nodded and said coldly, “Notify all the workers to evacuate this place in ten minutes! Ten minutes later, bring this place to the ground like it never existed!”Both Daniel and Sharon gaped in extreme shock.All the hard work that they’ve been fighting and building, and this was how it ended?They were done, for sure. They could only be a living dead. If they didn’t have any money, who would take care of them?Charlie couldn’t care less.He asked his man to turn on the fire alarm, and immediately, the entire factory began to evacuate.Charlie carried Claire who was in deep slumber, and asked his m
Charlie slowly put Claire on the bed and carefully extracted the Reiki from her body.Immediately afterward, Claire slowly opened her eyes, waking up.“Dear!” As soon as Claire lay eyes on Charlie after opening her eyes, she got up quickly and hugged him excitedly. Then, she started to cry.Charlie hurriedly comforted her, “It’s okay baby, don’t be afraid, we’re home now.”“We’re home?”Claire lifted her head and looked around.She was surprised that it was their room. She turned to glance at Charlie and asked curiously, “What did Daniel and his wife do to you?”“No, they didn’t do anything to me,” Charlie said calmly, “Both him and his wife have paralyzed, the entire Elite Vault was nothing but ruins and rubble now. As the old saying goes, he who is unjust is doomed to destruction, literally.”Claire was utterly shocked. “What? How come? What happened?”Charlie smiled faintly. “I asked a few friends to help and save you, then we found out that the entire office building and t
Noticing Elaine's disappointment, Charlie quickly spoke up, "Honey, when are you coming back? Have you set a time?" Claire replied, "I plan to first finalize the project's documents and progress here as well as resolve any outstanding issues. If there's nothing else, I'll go back. If I can't finish today, it will probably be the day after tomorrow at the latest." "Have you checked the flights?" Charlie asked. "Are there any suitable flights for the day after tomorrow?" Claire replied, "Miss Fox suggested arranging her family's private jet to send me back, but I feel bad about it. A flight on a private jet costs over a million, and I can't let them spend that money." Elaine quickly interrupted, "Then just take a regular flight back and let her give you the money for the private jet. Convert it into a million!" Charlie hurriedly said, "They have plenty of planes. Even when they're not in use, they have to be maintained. The actual cost of flying one more trip isn't that high. B
Jacob and Elaine happened to be in the living room, so Charlie waved his phone at them and said, "Mom, Dad, it's Claire. I'll answer it here." The two stopped bickering instantly, and Charlie pressed the answer button. After the call was connected, Claire's beautiful face appeared on the phone screen. Seeing the background, Claire said in surprise, "Honey! You're home!" Charlie nodded. "I just got back today. Let me show you Mom and Dad." As he said that, he turned his phone around and pointed the front camera at Jacob and Elaine. Jacob asked worriedly, "Darling, when will you come back? I miss you!" Elaine interjected hastily, "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. I miss you too, but it's a great opportunity that you're finally working with the Fox family in America. You must focus on your career. If you want, I can go over to take care of you!" "Mom, this is why I'm calling Charlie," Claire said with a smile. "I just finished the morning meeting with Miss Fox and the
Charlie responded with a smile, "Don't bother. I've already eaten." Jacob quickly stood up, walked over, and asked, "Why were you away for so many days this time?" Charlie answered, "The workload was a bit heavy this time. I visited several houses and factories, mainly because the client has strong financial power." "Wow!" Elaine exclaimed, very pleased, "A client with such strength must have paid quite a bit, right?" "Exactly." Charlie nodded and casually said, "This client was very generous with the payment. They even gave me an extra one million as travel expenses before I left." "My goodness!" Elaine shrieked. "One million just for travel expenses? What kind of godsent client is this?!" Jacob couldn't help but sigh, "Now, this is what it means to be rich. Giving an extra one million, that's just like a tip, right? They're really throwing money around like it's nothing!" At this point, Elaine seemed to remember something and quickly said, "I saw in the news that the yo
Charlie shook his head and replied, "I live in another building." As he said that, he pressed the button for the first floor in the elevator. The woman nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I thought you two were a couple. You look so well-matched." "No, no..." Nanako, feeling embarrassed, quickly replied, "Uh... We're just friends." The woman nodded and stopped teasing her. The elevator soon reached the first floor. Charlie bid farewell to the two women, got off the elevator, and walked toward the villa area. At this moment, he could never have imagined that the woman who had been in the same elevator with him was actually an underling of his biological mother. The reason she had returned a step ahead of him was also part of a carefully planned arrangement. Ashley was worried that Charlie might overthink things, so she had deliberately arranged for the woman to appear in front of him, allowing him to confirm that the woman was just an ordinary person who knew nothing a
Just as Charlie and Nanako were about to get out of the car, a female driver exited her car in the parking space diagonally opposite. After locking her car, she carried her bag and walked toward the elevator hall. When Nanako saw the woman, she turned to Charlie and said, "Charlie, that is the neighbor I mentioned. That day, I overheard her talking to a friend on the phone, and that's how I found out that Master Jeevika was coming to Aurous Hill." Charlie nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "It seems we should thank her when we get the chance. With just one phone call, she inadvertently helped you attain enlightenment." "Yes!" Nanako fully agreed with Charlie's point, saying, "If it weren't for her, I might not have had the chance to attain enlightenment." She then asked, "Do you want to meet Master Jeevika? Maybe he can give you some inspiration." Charlie shook his head. "My situation is special, so it's better to avoid meeting strangers who have already attained enlightenme
Due to the time difference, Charlie did not immediately call Kathleen. However, he believed that this matter was a piece of cake for her, so he planned to call her in the evening to discuss it and then start working on the follow-up plans. So, Charlie said to Nanako, "I think there's no need for you to continue practicing martial arts. Instead, why not come with me to the villa this afternoon and help me out? Once we're done, we can both head back to Thompson First." Without hesitation, Nanako nodded and said, "I'm all yours." She then asked, "Should I inform Master Howton of my departure?" Charlie waved his hand and said, "He must still be teaching. Let's talk to him privately later." "Okay." After that, Charlie and Nanako went to his villa halfway up the mountain. Once they got to the basement of the villa, Nanako was taken aback by the sight of a simple fluid-filling machine with many unused bottles and caps nearby. She asked, "Why do you have pharmaceutical equipment
With this thought in mind, Charlie silently decided to spend more time at the villa in the future, where he could focus on studying cultivation. Perhaps he might discover a breakthrough path based on his current foundation. However, the thought of Holly's family living in the villa next door posed a dilemma. If he went there every day to practice in seclusion, he would inevitably have to pass by Holly's house. Out of courtesy, it would be impossible not to greet them. But once he started exchanging pleasantries, his efficiency would naturally decrease. Moreover, it would eventually cause a misunderstanding if Nanako were to go there every day as well. Thus, Charlie felt an eagerness to find a new place for cultivation. After some thought, the lakeside mansion that Kathleen had purchased under the alias Kylie when she was in Aurous Hill came to mind. The Quinton family's villa, located in the Sonfo Valley far from the city, was nestled among mountains and waters, boasting exce
Nanako could also feel that the energy available for her to draw upon in her Sea of Consciousness had suddenly surged. Her sensory abilities, which had already improved significantly after achieving enlightenment, instantly leaped to an even higher level. The Reiki within her body became exceptionally abundant. With just a slight movement of her divine sense, the Reiki immediately dispersed from within her, making the entire office feel as if it was under her bird's-eye view, completely under her control. Moreover, this sense of control continued to extend outward. In just a short moment, eight nearby rooms also fell within her perception range. Charlie could sense the Reiki Nanako was releasing. Observing her closely, he noticed that her body was already brimming with Reiki, suggesting that it was no longer possible for her to continue taking the elixir. After a while, Nanako retracted the Reiki she had been using for perception and looked up at Charlie, saying, "Previously I co
Although Nanako had just attained enlightenment, she had already realized a critical problem: the Reiki available to her was very little, and there was almost no external channel for obtaining Reiki. For cultivators today, getting Reiki was the most difficult thing. There was no Reiki in the world, so the only external channels to obtain Reiki were elixirs, spiritual stones, or formations. If someone had a complete cultivation method, he could generate Reiki in his body by practicing the method, but for people like Charlie and Nanako who lacked such methods, this self-sufficient path was not feasible. Therefore, the small amount of Reiki that was generated in Nanako's body when she attained enlightenment was basically used up after she tried to sense Reiki. Charlie was slightly better than Nanako. The spiritual stones he accidentally obtained in the early days provided him with a lot of Reiki. Later, he relied on Cultivating Pills to barely make up for the gap in Reiki. Altho
