Chapter 7158
When Julien heard from Matt that Hank had returned from Stateside and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he was surprised, but also thought he should have known.It was not shocking because Charlie's hunches never missed—it'd be more shocking if he did miss.Hence, he told Matt, "Tell him to head over to Heaven Springs once he gets off his flight. I'll talk to Mr. Wade myself—if Mr. Wade says no, I'll talk to him.""Are we going to charge him for dinner too, Sir?" Matt quickly asked. "If so, I'll inform him ahead of time."As Charlie had charged the cabal all ten million per dinner before, Matt was sure that the same rule applied with Hank coming back to Oskia.Julien laughed. "For sure. Who does he think he is, freeloading off Mr. Wade?""That's true, Sir," Matt chuckled, too. "I'll inform him right away."With that, Julien hung up and called Charlie, reporting everything.Charlie smiled when he heard that Hank had come back. "Well, we've been putting the old timer through

Matt had been sleeping as soundly as it was humanly possible.He had been having a nice breakfast and was planning to relax after trying out the hotel's gym and swimming pool to keep himself in shape. There weren't any issues in security, and once he had gotten used to the hotel, he could even go on a stroll down Aurous Hill.That was when his phone rang with a call from an unknown number, and Hank could be heard talking as soon as he answered, "Matt! Could you please call Mr. Rothschild? I'd like to invite Mr. Wade along for dinner."Matt did a double-take.He used to be a glorified pimp keeping Hank supplied with his 'delights', and it was clear that Hank treated him like a lapdog and not a fellow friend.But now, he was Julien's lapdog instead, so who did Hank think he was, telling him what to do?"Come on," he chuckled nonchalantly. "Do you really think Mr. Wade is someone you can just ask to meet? And Julien is the heir apparent of the Rothschilds—you think you can treat him
Chapter 7156
Hank had never once feared death.After all, he had lived long and happily enough, and he could face death with grace.He thought he would be satisfied if he could live to eighty, and he definitely expected to live that long when he had all the money and preventive measures in place to prevent even terminal illness.But even while he was being so cautious, he had still contracted pancreatic cancer.Right now, all he wanted to do was consult Charlie and ask him to save him no matter what it took.Hence, he called up his flight crew to start refueling and schedule a flight right away, even as he left the hospital and rushed to the airport.The man had never traveled this much in such a short time frame, returning Stateside after reaching Oskia two days ago, and now returning to Oskia after just a few medical examinations.Since it was a little past midnight in Oskia at the moment, he expected to land in the evening. Given the timing, he could invite Charlie to dinner, and the venu

Pat shook his head. "Things don't look good, Sir. It's growing very rapidly—the CA199 count is positively skyrocketing, considering that it's just been three months."Hank wiped the sweat off his brow as he asked, "Well, what's the plan for treatment?""That's why I'm here," Pat replied. "To tell you that the sooner we operate to remove your pancreas, the better.""Remove it?!" Hank blurted. "How long am I expected to survive after that? Five years?" "There's no telling," Pat sighed, shaking his head. "In this day and age, pancreatic cancer is the most unpredictable—the cells grow rapidly with lethal precision, and even if removed, there's a good chance they have already metastasized elsewhere." "The only sure thing is that regardless of early detection, only ten percent of pancreatic cancer patients survive the next five years… And as of yet, none have survived up to ten years."Pausing, Pat then finished, "If I had to put it this way… They are like Germany in World War Two."
Chapter 7154
When Hank showed the CA199 result, the cabal finally realized that Charlie really did possess some sort of unseen power that could determine a person's fate.Hank was horrified, too, hurriedly signing the consent forms for a contrast agent before being rushed into the CT scan room. As the gigantic machinery whirled, rumbled, and beeped loudly, his heart raced in panic all the more.In the past, he had found comfort in such sounds—it was the power of money and technology, bringing about advanced medical equipment to keep him healthy.But now, those same objects left him panicked and horrified.After all, he had to be inside a small hole while he was scanned from head to toe—twice, and the longer it lasted, the more tormenting it was.Just as he thought he was about to suffocate, the machine finally stopped whirling, and he was pulled out.The lead door also opened as Greg and several nurses swiftly moved him to a stretcher, sending him back to his VIP ward.Along the way, he co

On the other hand, if Hank's health failed, Greg would basically be fired, as he was more or less a health consultant to Hank.And should Hank be admitted to a specialist hospital, there wasn't much he could do either.Hence, even as Hank remained in a good mood a moment ago, he was suddenly dying inside as he fumbled for his phone, stammering, "Houston… We have a problem."Andrew was the first to laugh. "Oh, congratulations, Hank! We've been waiting the whole night for this one… So, what's the anomaly here?Hank really wasn't in the mood for jokes and snapped at Andrew right then, "Shut up! Are you trying to jinx me?!"Andrew was left aggrieved. "But you're the one who said that there was something wrong! Why would you snap at me like that?"Hank bellowed furiously, nonetheless, "I'd rather be normal with just minor anomalies and definitely not pancreatic cancer! As it turns out, my CA199 count is several dozen times above normal, and the doctor said that pancreatic cancer is th

Charlie, it’s not Jacob’s own life. As long as he is in this position, so are you. What you do in later chapters is still indicative of no backbone because you are such a wuss for Claire. If you really cared for her you’d make her see just how bad her no her is so she finally puts her foot down
Elaine needs her a$$ kicked. Claire needs to have some faith in her husband or is she fearful that she will mo longer be above him? If Charlie is so powerful why stay in this miserable, lowly, money greedy family? He should tell his wife who he is and move out and up. So far I hear the s.o pattern.
promotion from the floor....hmmmm
Move on please
I’m sorry but I really want something to happen to Elain
Cheap chapter please
Why the fuck you calling her dear when you haven’t even felt the pussy yet.. dear my ass.
how very true she is a cunt
Daggett... I thought he was gng to finally divorce her
comment here
where is the lovemaking? go fuck yourselves till next day. fucking is good don't you know that?
why the heck would Charlie be regrettable. Im over this crap
I thought Jacob had finally had enough and she was outta here im hella fuckin mad ?
can you just fucking stop writing chapters with claire's family in it. seriously the next fucking time I read another chapter with Elaine it needs to be her getting kicked out of the family or her dying. just the same shit over and over with Charlie still pretending to be a little bitch
