Elaine felt very triumphant as she shook the jade bracelet on her hand. “I have already sent a text message to some of my friends. Many of them are already jealous of me because of this jade bracelet, and now, I even have a big and luxurious villa!”Charlie looked at the jade bracelet on his mother-in-law’s hand. In actual fact, that was the bracelet that Graham had given to him, and he had been planning on giving it to Claire in the first place. However, who would have expected that Elaine would take it for herself instead.***At the White family mansion.Gerald was standing in the hall as he reported what he had just found out to his father over the phone.After he was done speaking, Gerald hesitated for a moment before he raised his head and said, “Dad, is uncle confused? He did not even stay a single day in that villa, but he did not hesitate at all to give it to Charlie! You have to persuade him to take it back from Charlie!”Gerald’s father had a solemn expression on his f
As Lady Wilson was dreaming about moving into the villa at Thompson First, Christopher suddenly rubbed his hands and sighed before he said, “Mom, I am planning to send someone to invite Loreen’s family to come over as our guests. After that, I am hoping to propose to the Thomas family for Loreen and Harold to be married. What do you think about my suggestion?”“The Thomas family…” Lady Wilson sighed as she replied, “Previously, Harold left Loreen behind and ran away by himself! I believe that Loreen does not have a good impression of him.”At this time, Christopher said, “I think that something like that is actually harmless. Since both of our families are business partners, I believe that the Thomas family will be more focused on the future development prospects if our children were to get married. Even though the Wilson family cannot be compared to the Thomas family, we have the Emgrand Group to support us. Moreover, there are still a lot of things that we could do to enhance the f
When Jacob saw that everyone was waiting for his family, he quickly lowered his head as he greeted his mother and elder brother with a smile on his face.Christopher pretended not to hear him and simply ignored him without saying anything at all.Lady Wilson nodded lightly.Jacob quickly asked, “Mom, why did you ask us to come over here today? Is anything the matter?”“I want to ask you something. Do you own one of the villas in Thompson First?” Lady Wilson asked coldly.At this time, Jacob quickly replied, “Yes, mom. Mr. White gave the villa to Charlie because he gave him some advice regarding some Feng Shui matters.”“Feng Shui advice?” Harold snorted before he said, “If Charlie really got the villa because he simply gave someone some Feng Shui advice, everyone in the Wilson family should just quit their jobs and work as Feng Shui masters, then!”Everyone in the living room snorted upon hearing this.Jacob could only force a laugh when he heard his relatives ridiculing him.
Jacob was taken aback, and he quickly replied, “Mom, I am sorry, but the White family gave the villa to Charlie, not to me.”Lady Wilson started to lose her patience at this time, and she could not even be bothered to hide her intentions anymore. Upon hearing that, she said, “Charlie is the son-in-law of the Wilson family! Therefore, the villa that the White family gave to Charlie also belongs to the Wilson family! As the head of the Wilson family, don’t you think that I have the right to live in that villa?”Right then, Charlie could not help but sneer at the old lady’s words. He had not said anything before this because he had already expected nothing good would come out of this family gathering today.It turned out that the old lady was trying to take the villa away from him.When Jacob finally understood what his mother really wanted from him, he started sweating profusely and stammering as he looked at Charlie with a face filled with embarrassment.Christopher suddenly spoke
In regards to his status as the son-in-law of the Wilson family, this group of people had never treated him as one of them.They did not even bother about Charlie at all.Jacob was the only one who would put up with their attitude simply because he was affectionate and cared about family ties.Moreover, Claire had always been bullied. The entire Wilson family had always despised Claire because of her position as the director of Emgrand Group.Therefore, the Wilson family had always been trampling all over his family.They had always been bullied!Charlie had always turned the other way for his wife’s sake. He had endured their bullying for a long time, but he really did not expect this group of people to be so shameless. He would never have expected them to try and snatch his villa away from him!“Charlie, how dare you talk to grandma in that manner?” Harold yelled angrily at Charlie. “I have to teach you a lesson today!”“Do you really think that is up to you?” Charlie snorted
In actual fact, Christopher had already carefully planned out everything with Lady Wilson last night.Moreover, he had intentionally invited all the respected elders in the Wilson family to attend the family gathering today.Christopher initially thought that Jacob would voluntarily hand over the villa if they forced him to do so.He had also planned to force Jacob to hand the villa over by threatening him if he refused to do so.Jacob had always been very timid, and he would always shiver in fear whenever his mother reprimanded him. Therefore, Christopher was confident that Jacob would certainly hand the villa over to Lady Wilson if she demanded him to do so.Besides, Christopher had no respect for Claire at all. She was a married woman, thus, she did not have any right to say anything.Moreover, she was even married to a piece of trash!As for Charlie, he could not even be bothered about him.He was just a mere son-in-law of the Wilson family who had no status at all, and he
Everyone in the courtyard was shocked at this time.The baton was made out of the hardest yellow elmwood and was extremely tough. Even two sturdy men would find it very difficult to break this baton even if they used all of their strength.However, in Charlie’s hands, the baton appeared to be as weak as a strand of noodles!After practicing the fighting skills in the , Charlie’s strength had already significantly increased, and so, these bodyguards did not pose a threat to him at all.Jacob heaved a huge sigh of relief when he saw that Charlie had already taken action.He did not expect his son-in-law to be so capable! It seemed as though the three of them would be able to leave the Wilson family villa safely today.The bodyguards at the Wilson family villa were all hired by Christopher, and he was very confident with their skills. However, the bodyguards were a little flustered when they saw how strong Charlie was.Christopher grit his teeth before saying, “Ch
”Are you going to stand there and watch Harold commit murder?!”When Jacob saw Harold swinging an ax at Charlie, he could not help but roar out loudly in anger.However, at this time, Lady Wilson and Christopher could not be bothered at all. They continued to sit inside the house as they watched the fight that was going on in the courtyard, not even blinking their eyelids!The other members of the Wilson family also remained silent, as though everything happening right then had nothing to do with them at all.Moreover, at present, Lady Wilson was only interested in the villa.She did not care about anything else!Sometimes, the older a person was, the greedier he would be!Even in the past, the king would want to build a bigger, better, and more extravagant palace, going as far as to prepare a better tombstone for himself as he got older and older.Therefore, the older Lady Wilson was, the more she hoped that she would be able to enjoy the rest of her life better.The old lady
After the convoy pulled into the parking lot, more than a dozen bodyguards in black suits came down immediately and surrounded Julien's car with a professional stance as they looked around vigilantly. One of the men walked toward Heaven Springs, and Albert walked out to meet him at the same time. The man scanned the surroundings like a CIA agent and whispered into the microphone of the walkie-talkie he was wearing, "Everyone, stay where you are and stay alert!" Albert had already stood in front of him by the time he finished speaking. The man looked at Albert and asked, "Are you the manager of the restaurant?" If Charlie hadn't informed Albert about the guest today, Albert would probably have been intimidated by the man and his posture. However, Albert already knew Julien's identity and his next trip to his dog kennel, so he didn't take the man seriously at all and sneered contemptuously, "Manager? Hah! I own this place!" After that, he raised his eyebrows and asked the man
At ten o'clock in the morning, a private jet converted from a Boeing 747-8 landed at Aurous Airport. Once Julien, heir of the Rothschild family, and his entourage had arrived, customs clearance was completed as quickly as possible. The family's staff stationed in Oskia had been waiting for his arrival. Although it was unknown when Julien would be in power, for them, he was the second-in-command of the family, so they treated him with great respect. As Julien left the airport, a Cadillac convoy was parked outside. These vehicles were all ordered by the Rothschild family from the United States, featuring the same models as those used by the president. Although they didn't appear as extravagant and luxurious as Rolls-Royce cars, each of these vehicles costs much more than a Rolls-Royce Phantom. In fact, the old money families had already abandoned Rolls-Royce a long time ago. Nowadays, Rolls-Royce wonders were more often young second-generation rich individuals or those who su
Before Sonia could fully understand the meaning behind Charlie's words, he had already reached out and gently tapped her shoulder. In that instant, Sonia felt her previously sealed sixth meridian completely open! Her cultivation immediately broke through into the six-star warrior rank. Every advancement in a small realm brought a refreshing feeling, and Sonia clearly sensed the changes within herself. She was instantly overwhelmed with excitement, unable to control her tears of joy. Just a few minutes ago, she was feeling frustrated and desperate about her future cultivation, but Charlie had so generously opened her sixth meridian for her. To be clear, even if Charlie hadn't sealed her three meridians, she still wouldn't have reached the stage of breakthrough to a six-star warrior yet. Even though she was in the late stages of becoming a five-star warrior, it would have taken at least a few more years to make a breakthrough. What Charlie did not only removed the shackles on
At one point, Sonia thought about summoning the courage to go to Charlie and beg him for mercy. But upon the thought of her previous arrogance and outrageous remarks, she resisted the urge. Thus, she became even more depressed and sat cross-legged, staring at the floor. Charlie only needed a glance to notice Sonia's dejection. After all, in a crowd of people cheering excitedly, she sat there silently, looking completely out of place. Charlie knew very well that Sonia's frustration was undoubtedly because he had sealed her meridians. On her own, she no longer had the possibility of further advancement. Recalling her earlier disrespectful remarks, he chalked it up to the personality of a young martial arts fanatic. It wasn't that Charlie was petty or unwilling to let go of past grievances, but the key issue was that he had already opened all of her meridians in one go. If he were to seal them back up, she would instantly become a master at the Great Perfection Realm of Illu
Albert then selected a few students to help him distribute a bottle of oral fluid to everyone. Even Caden, who had already reached the Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm, got his share. After the distribution, Charlie said, "What you're holding in your hands is a special supplement for strengthening the body and the meridians. After you take it, it will help your cultivation. If you happen to be at the critical stage of a realm breakthrough, you might be able to complete the breakthrough with this bottle of supplement." Everyone was especially excited when they heard that it was a medicine that could improve cultivation. For martial artists, the most valuable things were complete internal capabilities and supplements that could improve strength. Many martial artists spent their entire lives in arduous cultivation without ever receiving the assistance of any medicinal elixir. At times, they could feel that they were just one step away from breaking through to the nex
The people in the audience answered in unison, "Yes!" Some even said loudly, "Not only that, but it is extremely beneficial!" "Yes! The improvement is indeed very significant!" "My personal understanding of martial arts has also become much clearer!" Among the crowd, Sonia gathered the courage to say loudly, "Since coming here, cultivation has truly been twice as effective!" Charlie recognized her voice and curiously asked, "Miss Letterman, you trained under Master Howton too when you were in the United States, and it is the same here. Why does this place make you feel that way?" "I... Uh..." Sonia was taken aback as she did not expect Charlie to direct a question to her, so she stuttered nervously. "I speak only the truth and am not exaggerating. The reason I feel it is twice as effective lies mainly in three factors." With that, she paused briefly, gathered her thoughts, and continued, "The first reason is that when the Taoist Sect was in America, Master Howton was not
The next morning, Charlie met up with Nanako and drove to Champs Elys together. He wanted to send Nanako to the villa halfway up the mountain so that she could concentrate on improving her control of Reiki while he himself would take the oral fluid and distribute it to all the martial arts students. At the same time, Julien had already crossed the Pacific Ocean in a private plane, getting closer and closer to Aurous Hill with only a few hours left. While Charlie was on his way, Caden said to over 400 martial arts students who were doing morning training, "Guys, I have good news for you. Master Wade will come to see you later with gifts. He will give them to you personally." The students were excited upon hearing this. Aurora, Rosalie, the Harker family members, and the members of Ten Thousand Armies all knew that Charlie had a special medicine that could enhance the cultivation of martial arts. Although Sonia wasn't familiar with this, ever since she had arrived in Oskia, she c
Charlie dropped the formalities and said, "Thank you very much then, Miss Fox." "You're welcome, Mr. Wade," Kathleen said. "It's my honor to serve you." After reaching an agreement with Kathleen, Charlie then called Doris. Doris hadn't received a call from Charlie in a long time, so her voice was filled with excitement as she said, "Mr. Wade, what can I do for you?" Charlie replied, "Are you familiar with the situation at Sonfo Valley? I want to acquire the entire area, but I can't do it too conspicuously, so I can't offer a price that's too outrageous to avoid drawing attention. Do you think that will be difficult?" "Sonfo Valley..." Doris thought for a moment before speaking, "Sonfo Valley is an older residential area. After I took over Emgrand, I reviewed the company's previous documents. That land was actually something Emgrand considered competing for initially, but later, they gave up because the surrounding area lacked supporting infrastructure. It's located in the mou
Jacob rolled his eyes in annoyance and jeered, "Do you think money from rich families grows on trees? Working for wealthy people is just about the market price. Are you saying the janitor sweeping the floors at Apple makes a million dollars a year?" "You really have some nerve, Jacob Wilson!" Elaine scoffed and scolded. "How can you compare our sweet daughter to a janitor? So, in your eyes, Claire is on the same level as a janitor at Apple?" "That's not what I meant!" Jacob snapped and quickly explained, "What I'm saying is, even if you're working for Apple, you just earn what you're supposed to earn. Claire has done well in her field, and earning a few million a year is already pretty good. It's only been a short time since she went to the U.S. yet you're already expecting Miss Fox to pay her tens of millions? That's ridiculous!" Elaine rolled her eyes and disdainfully snarled, "Clearly, you don't understand the ways of the world. Miss Fox had Charlie help with Feng Shui multipl
