Chapter 7197
Yule and Rachel traded glances, their eyes wide in excitement as they took the pills at the same time.They were a happy couple, and taking a Rejuvenation Pill each meant they'd spend decades more in each other's company.Their appearances changed dramatically right after they took the pills, too.While Rachel had always maintained her beauty and looked hardly fifty, she was now positively radiant with the Rejuvenation Pill. Her youthful appearance made her look closer to Quinn, too, and they looked more like sisters.Most importantly, they felt as though they had shed dozens of pounds. Aging was inevitable considering their years, and it always felt like rolling down a downhill slope. But with the Rejuvenation Pill, they seemed to be twenty years younger, their creaky joints and difficulty in moving fading right away.And it was so obvious in Rachel that Yule was gaping at his wife, not knowing that he had suddenly transformed into looking thirtyish, too.Just seeing each other'
Chapter 7196
Rachel and Yule were naturally shocked that Quinn would call the Rejuvenation Pills Charlie's dowry, while Charlie also felt a little embarrassed.But in this situation, he knew he shouldn't say anything, let alone correct Quinn.If he kept quiet, Rachel and Yule would take the Rejuvenation Pills without qualms, and everything would be more or less resolved for now.Naturally, Charlie intended to keep dragging this engagement issue as long as he could, just like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.After all, he had no reasonable solution aside from avoidance.As Yule and Rachel watched Charlie stay silent, they were more or less content—they understood Charlie's mindset and circumstances, and that it'd be coercion if they tried to make him openly agree to marry Quinn.Charlie's offering of the Rejuvenation Pills as a dowry offered a neutral stance, and it was already good enough for them.Seeing that her parents were easing up, Quinn pressed, "The pills are a gesture of Cha

Of course, there was the option of cosmetic surgery, but such things would never last long, and the side effects were permanent. It was why people always pointed out permanent disfigurement as a reason not to do it.On the other hand, Charlie's Rejuvenation Pill could make her younger by at least twenty years, making it the best cosmetic surgery bar none.Still, Rachel played it cool at the thought that the pills were worth trillions. It was so expensive that just yearning for it could well be considered overstepping.Yule shook his head as he said, "I'm already exceedingly grateful that you came to save my life before, Charlie… How could we take something so precious on top of that? Just save them for yourself, and I'm sure you can use them in the future!"Charlie shook his head, his tone solemn. "The Rejuvenation Pill is only expensive because of scarcity. After all, there was just one available at that auction, so it was only natural that the price inflated so ridiculously."No

Lunch at the Goldings' was scrumptious, with many rare food ingredients that Yule was usually reluctant to eat himself, and Charlie had never encountered them before.Rachel was smiling at Charlie, having taken a great liking to her future son-in-law, no matter how much she looked at him.She would urge him to eat, encouraging Quinn to put more food on Charlie's plate.While Charlie was worried that Yule and Rachel would mention Quinn's engagement or having children, he was surprised neither of them said a word.While he felt relaxed thanks to that, he soon felt disappointed in himself.It was precisely because they weren't pressuring him that he could feel how understanding and accommodating they were to him.And being a man who always repaid his debts, directly pressuring him would have been a mercy.Hence, while they were idly chatting around the table after lunch, Charlie took out two Rejuvenation Pills and gave one to Yule and Rachel each."This is a little gesture of my s

Pausing, Ashley sighed. "I was the one who pushed to engage Charlie with Quinn. I truly love that girl, and she's been like a daughter to me ever since she was born. Yule and Rachel used to love Charlie, too, which was why I suggested the engagement when they grew up."I've been told that such old-fashioned engagements shouldn't continue in the new age, or it'd look like we're back in feudal times… but I just think that there are some things that are just so perfect that a parent must fight for it despite their child's opinions."That was when Ashley sighed. "The Qing Eliminating Society reached out to Curtis and me on multiple occasions. I was not even worried that they would come for us… only that they would send Scholars to infiltrate Charlie's inner circle."Mrs. Sun's expression stiffened at the mention of Scholars, as she knew how astounding the Scholars could be. The Qing Eliminating Society had groomed each Scholar since they were children, all for the express purpose of '
Chapter 7192
Quinn's memory of Ashley was pretty hazy, as she had been just a child when Ashley had left Eastcliff with Charlie."I don't remember her face, Mom," she couldn't help groaning. "Did she like me back then?"Rachel smiled. "Oh, you have no idea… She was there when you were delivered, and she was also the second person who carried you.""Really?" Quinn exclaimed, clearly surprised. "Then, who was the one who proposed my engagement with Charlie? I don't think I was told.""It was Ashley," Rachel sighed. "At that time, the Wades were the strongest family in Oskia, while Curtis and Ashley had taken good care of both your father and me. To be honest, we always thought that they were far beyond us, and it was our honor that they considered us friends. Considering that, would we even dare ask for such an engagement?"Surprised, Quinn blurted, "Well, why would Ashley want me as Charlie's wife?"Rachel smiled. "Because she liked you, of course. She believed you were her best choice as a da

The scheming old bat sure know how to pull the wool over Jacob's eyes wanting them in the family villa to manipulate Claire for money
why does it cost so much to read this book, anyway?
not normal you have to pay more than a book for this novel. No real interest, many consistancy mistakes throughout the book, the author most probably wrote over a long period. same strings all over again. A shame the idea was ok but even ironfist is better....
charlie says "I have a better idea let's go to my villa you know the one you tried to claim. he will be well taken care of there."
here let us poison Humm prepare this room just for Jacob...
