Harold smirked and said in a sarcastic tone, “Charlie, go ahead with your drama. I bet your so-called acquaintances are just some low-life gangsters and nobodies. Do you really think you’re so influential and powerful? I don’t believe you’re able to invite any prominent figures!”

Wendy chimed in the sarcastic bandwagon. “A loser like Charlie is best at bragging. If no one attends your opening ceremony, you and this office will become Aurous Hill’s laughing stocks. Let’s see how you’ll get jobs or projects then!”

Claire didn’t show any expression as she listened to the insults but anxiety slowly brewed in her heart.

To put it bluntly, opening ceremonies were occasions that displayed company owners’ network connections and resources.

If many guests were to attend the opening ceremony, it would show that the company had a strong business network and foundation especially if VIPs were among the guests. Such news would spread around their circle and many people would regard the company

    He was perplexed and casual though. He had already sent an invitation to Emgrand Group, so Doris Young would and must attend.She was probably preparing the gift since she was not here yet!Christopher put on a pompous expression and said, “Well, do you still think you’re so well connected?”It was almost ten o’clock. If there were any guests coming, they would have arrived at the door by then.However, the entrance was empty and quiet. Apparently, no one would show up.Wendy said in a cocky tone, “Dad, the loser said it doesn’t matter if they have no guests today, he alone is enough. I wonder how powerful he is? Does he really think he’s a somebody here in Aurous Hill?”At this moment, the voice from the front desk resonated from a distance away. It seemed that she deliberately raised her voice.“Announcing the arrival of Mr. Travis Lane of Lancaster…”Travis Lane?Charlie was a little bewildered. The last time he had met Travis was when the White family brought Jack Yaleman

    Travis Lane’s remarks sent a shock wave across the office and the Wilson family members blinked in astonishment.Did he actually come to congratulate Claire?!He was the richest man in Lancaster!When and how did Charlie and Claire strike up the relationship with him?!Christopher was utterly shocked. He had never expected the man to be so rude to him and snap at him right in front of everyone. Embarrassed, he quickly retreated and stood aside.Wendy frowned in confusion and whispered to Harold, “Hey, is this chubby man really the richest man in Lancaster? Why does he feel like an actor hired to impersonate as a ploy to fool us? Why would any prominent figure be so kind and respectful to a loser…”Harold shook his head and whispered back, “Yeah, I don’t think he’s real too…”None of the people present had ever seen Travis Lane before, but they had heard the rumors about his notoriety and strictness in managing his business. The man looked nothing like the version in the rumors a

    The entire building started to get very lively and chaotic out of sudden. A simple opening ceremony had created such an extravagant scene that even involved a helicopter!Everyone poked their heads to look at the few people standing in front of the office.Claire was in a daze. She had indeed invited some people, but they were not very close to her and she didn’t know anyone who could afford a helicopter.Someone in the crowd exclaimed, “Isn’t that flower basket the legendary Tiffany limited edition? I heard that one flower basket costs more than one million dollars!”“Wow, look at all those flowers! I don’t think I’ve ever seen them before, they’re so beautiful!”“These are Dutch tulips! The exclusive Dutch tulips are very expensive, a single bulb can cost anywhere from thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars! And there’s even Blue Enchantress Hydrangeas and Juliet roses…wow, these are all rare flowers! You can’t cultivate them here in our country, they can only be airlift

    A passage appeared immediately as the crowd of onlookers made way and stood to the side as if there were invisible barriers.Doris and Jasmine, two charming belles who donned very formal and elegant dresses with smiles on their faces, walking side by side from outside towards the door.Behind them were Zeke White along with Kevin and Gerald, Graham Quinton along with Aurora and Adam, and Anthony Simmons and his granddaughter Xyla. They walked in a group like a team of Avengers.Albert Rhodes walked behind the pack.Wendy’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief as she stared at the scene.These people were all prominent figures in Aurous Hill that rarely appeared in public places, but they gathered here to congratulate Claire, which made her envious and agitated!She was always on her high horse previously with her background as the daughter of a wealthy family and one of the most outstanding young people in the city. She was pretty and attractive, tall and slim, and she was regarde

    Sure enough, they were here because of Charlie…Upon hearing that, Claire took a peek at Charlie, who was greeting the other guests, and somehow, a tinge of jealousy slowly arose inside her…She did not expect that the distinguished daughter of the Moore family would respect her husband so much. He was full of mystery right now.Then, Doris approached them, shook hands with Claire, and said, “Congratulations, Mrs. Wade. Emgrand Group has several projects that are awaiting your discussion!”“Seriously?!” Claire exclaimed in shock.Previously, the sixty million dollar contract with Emgrand Group was enough to make the whole Wilson family excited and thrilled. She would be on cloud nine if she could get a six million dollar contract from them!Doris smiled and answered, “Of course, Mrs. Wade. We now have a total of nearly three hundred million dollars in interior design and renovation projects. We’ll have the contract ready right away if you can accept and manage it!”The Wilson fa

    Wendy was feeling so sad and hurt right then.She had invested all her hopes and dreams of a beautiful and happy life on Gerald alone, but he pushed her into the abyss of misery with his own hands!Not only did he dump her after messing up her feelings but he even showed such strong dislike and disgust towards her in front of so many people! It was totally unacceptable! Her wrath of fury nearly exploded right there and then!Gerald was unusually calm and emotionless at her wailing and accusation. He said coldly, “It’s normal to fall in love and break up, what has it to do with respect? Please stop pestering me.”Charlie walked towards them as he assumed Wendy was about to cause a scene.Blood drained from Gerald’s face as Charlie came at them and quickly explained, for fear that Charlie would dismiss him for this situation. “Master Wade, please calm down. It was this shameless b*tch who jumped at me and threw a tantrum…”Wendy glared at the exchange in shock. Gerald, who was qu

    Gerald was fully aware that he had nearly offended Master Wade because he was deceived and brainwashed by these fools. Fortunately, Master Wade was the bigger person and forgave his wrongdoings. Otherwise, he would have brought disastrous harm to his entire White family.Now, this shameless Wendy had the nerve to attempt reconciling with him?!It was like pushing him back into the fire pit!He shoved Wendy away and kicked her in the stomach as she fell to the floor and growled, “Wendy Wilson! From now on, get the hell away from me! If you come at me again, I swear to God I’m going to kill you!”Wendy sat on the floor in a trance as if she had been struck by lightning.Looking back at Gerald’s face in a furious grimace, she found it so strange and unfamiliar. He didn’t look like the man who was once in love with her at all.Although Claire was a little agitated by Wendy, they were cousins, after all. She couldn’t bear seeing her being insulted like this, so she said to Gerald, “Mr

    Christopher was trembling in fright as Albert growled at him.He had no doubt about Albert’s remarks. As someone who was regarded as the king of the underworld and had ruled the underworld for many years, killing two people was a piece of cake for him.He looked desperately at the two brawny men who were dragging Wendy and went up to Claire to ask for help. “Claire, could you please talk to them? She’s your cousin, how could you just watch her being taken away?”Claire pursed her lips and said to the brawny men, “Please stop, she was confused…she didn’t mean to hurt me…”Claire found Wendy irritating, but they were cousins, after all. She couldn’t bear seeing her being beaten by these men.Albert looked back at Charlie and waited for his orders.Charlie smiled and said, “Why are you looking at me? Listen to what my wife says, then…”Albert ordered his men, “Since Mrs. Wade has stated her view, let them go!”Charlie nodded and turned his gaze at Lady Wilson. “See? I told you, yo

    When Jacob came to his senses, he was already in tears. The student presumed he was unwell and asked, "Mr. Wilson, do you want me to call your wife to pick you up?" Elaine's sarcastic face immediately popped up in his mind, and he trembled with fear. He quickly wiped away his tears and stammered, "D-don't bother... I... I just got something in my eyes..." The student obviously didn't believe him and asked worriedly, "Why don't you call your wife? Or I'll call a cab for you." "No, no." Jacob waved his hand and said, "I'll call my son-in-law to pick me up. He has just returned to Aurous Hill, so it shouldn't be a problem." After that, he quickly took out his phone and called Charlie. Just a few minutes ago, Charlie had left the cafe and was about to walk Yolden to his car. When he saw Yolden walking straight toward a domestic new energy vehicle, he asked curiously, "I don't think you were driving this model before, were you?" "I just bought it," Yolden replied with a smil

    If Matilda still had feelings for Jacob, his nostalgic strategy would definitely have a strong impact. However, Matilda had already decided to move on, so Jacob's suggestion did not stir any emotions in her at all. With an apologetic smile, she said, "Sorry, Jacob, Yolden is downstairs waiting for me. We have something to discuss. How about another day? We can have dinner together, and I'll treat you." Jacob didn't expect the nostalgia strategy to fall flat. His original plan was to use nostalgia to get Matilda to go with him to eat near the school, then take the opportunity to revisit old places and subtly reignite their past memories. After all, revisiting old places was the best way to rekindle old feelings, no exceptions. It was like drinking the pasta water after cooking the pasta. However, he never imagined that Matilda's expression wouldn't change in the slightest. There was no shyness, no hesitation, no nervousness, and certainly no fluttering heart. She simply and

    Matilda had been listening attentively before, but now, she was lowering her head, fiddling with her phone, and her expression even carried a hint of shyness and happiness, like that of a young girl. Jacob felt a pang of jealousy. While doing the presentation, he couldn't help but resentfully think to himself, "What has Matilda been chatting about with that Yolden guy? She's so happy..." At that moment, Matilda had just received a message from Yolden. In the message, Yolden informed her of the outcome of his conversation with Charlie and expressed his desire to have the wedding as soon as possible. Seeing how eager her beloved was to marry her, Matilda naturally felt very touched. At that moment, she had completely fallen into Yolden's love. For this man, who had a similar background, education, values, and even lifestyle to her own, she could find no fault with him. She felt that he was perfectly tailor-made for her by heaven itself, almost as if everything about him perfectly m

    Charlie's worries were not unfounded. He had long known that Jacob had not completely given up on Matilda despite her relationship with Yolden. After returning from the cultural exchange in Korea, Jacob had been more dejected than ever before—something he hadn't even displayed when his family had gone bankrupt. If there was still a chance to salvage the relationship when one's beloved was merely dating someone else, their marriage was tantamount to a death sentence. Furthermore, considering the high intellectual backgrounds of Matilda and Yolden as well as their age and life experience, their decision to marry at this stage of life undoubtedly signaled their intention to build a long-term future together. This left Jacob with absolutely no chance at all. At this moment, Jacob was blissfully unaware of the devastating news and was busy conducting a calligraphy and painting workshop at Senior University. The so-called workshop was essentially a few slides showcasing classic

    After that, Charlie asked with a bit of curiosity, "When did you and Matilda decide to get married?" Yolden smiled sheepishly and explained, "Remember when the city organized our cultural exchange trip to South Korea? I confessed to Matilda during that trip, and she accepted. After spending some time together, we both felt we were a great match. Considering our age, we didn't want to delay such an important decision any longer, so we decided to take the next step and build a family together." He continued, "Last month, we went to Lambonear for a few days. I bought a ring and proposed to her by the seaside, and she said yes. We also sought the opinion of our respective children—Autumn and Paul—and they were both very supportive. Both kids are exceptional and independent, so they urged us to have the wedding as soon as possible. I wanted to wait until you returned so I could check your schedule. For our wedding, we'd like to ask you to be our officiant." "What? Me as the officiant?

    Charlie said without hesitation, "Sure. When is it convenient for you? Send me the address, and I'll go meet you." Charlie had always respected Yolden not only because he was a nice and talented man but also because he and his mother went way back and went to the same school. Yolden said hastily, "I've just come from Senior University. It's the weekend, and I don't have classes today. Why don't you send me the address and I'll meet you?" Charlie gave it some thought. It was a little past 3 p.m., so Yolden had likely already had lunch, and there were still a few hours until dinner. Inviting him to The Heaven Springs didn't seem ideal for a discussion. Considering that he had lived in the United States for many years and probably had a habit of having coffee in the afternoon, Charlie said, "How about this? There's a Starbucks not far south of the university. Let's meet there for a cup of coffee." "Perfect!" Yolden said with a smile. "I was just thinking you could give me an addre

    On the way back to The Heaven Springs, Julien was in a much better mood than when he had arrived. Initially, he was filled with anxiety, unsure of what Charlie had planned. But now, everything had become clear. The troublesome matter of Salem and Edmund was no longer his concern. All he had to do was wait for the video from the ship to be released and then head back home. Charlie noticed his improved mood and smiled as he asked, "Julien, you've resolved the most critical matter right after landing in Aurous Hill. You must be feeling pretty happy, right?" Julien chuckled and said, "To be honest, before coming here, I was worried that I'd end up going back empty-handed and being secretly mocked by others. But now, it's different. Once your video is released, no one can blame me for not doing my job. If anything, they can only blame their family for missing their chance. After all, so much time has passed, and it's their fault Salem and Edmund were moved to the Middle East." As he

    "Good." With a light nod, Charlie turned to Jiro and spoke up, "Jiro, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself." "Okay, Mr. Wade!" Jiro beamed excitedly. "Please tell me what to do! I promise I will do my best to serve you." Charlie smiled and said, "Once the ship is ready, you'll board it together with them. Your only task is to keep a close watch on them the entire time. Don't let them pull any tricks. If you succeed, you'll be a free man here. You'll get a basic monthly salary and can ask for anything you like within reason—so long as it's not contraband, it will be yours." Hearing this, Jiro was so thrilled that he trembled all over. His current treatment was already decent, but he was still only a semi-free man. He didn't dare casually set foot on the ground outside. If he could become a truly free man, he would be able to enjoy the sunlight outdoors freely. More importantly, from then on, he would have a salary. Although he couldn't personally go out shopping, having a sa

    Julien had uncovered Charlie's true identity quite some time ago and investigated Charlie's background. He was well aware that Charlie had become the head of the Wade family and that the Acker family fully supported him. Although the outside world believed that Ten Thousand Armies had subdued the Wade family, Julien had witnessed Charlie's methods firsthand. Even the top two figures of the Rothschild family had been toyed with by Charlie, so how could Ten Thousand Armies possibly make him surrender? Thus, Julien deduced that Ten Thousand Armies was undoubtedly Charlie's covert tool. Considering the combined strength of the Wade family, the Acker family, and Charlie's personally cultivated forces, it was evident that Charlie even had the power to contend with the entire Rothschild family. Moreover, with the life-extending pill in his possession and the life of the Rothschild family head in his hands, Charlie's chances of prevailing in a confrontation against the Rothschilds were e
