At this moment, Dylan’s first thought was to induce vomiting for him to spit out the necklace.Spitting it out was better than pooping it, right?Oscar hurriedly said, “Mr. Koch, I’ll take you to the washroom. This way please.”Dylan stood up immediately and followed Oscar.When he was in the washroom, he dug deep into his mouth desperately and kept vomiting, triggering a series of nausea and gag reflexes.There were a few times when he could feel the necklace reaching his throat, but he couldn’t vomit it out.He tried several times until his face flushed and even turned purple, but in the end, he was forced to give up as he felt an intense pain coming from his throat and esophagus, and soon, he had lost the strength to induce vomiting.He shuddered in disgust again when he imagined the fact that he had to poop the thing out of his anus in days to come. He even wondered if the necklace would get stuck in his intestines.Frightened, he immediately took out his phone and called h
At this moment, the pilot of Dylan’s private jet was preparing to line up for takeoff at Aurous Airport.When he received Dylan’s call, he said, “Young Master, I am at the airport right now, ready to take-off.”Dylan blurted, “Hurry, inform the tower to postpone the take-off and then drive the plane back to the business jet hangar. Wait for me, I’ll return to Eastcliff tonight.”The pilot asked in surprise, “But you just came here this morning. Didn’t you say that you were going to stay for a few days? Why do you want to go back so suddenly?”Dylan said anxiously, “It’s none of your business. Wait for me at the airport hangar, I’ll go to the airport right now.”The pilot quickly said, “Okay, Young Master. I’ll request the tower to cancel my take-off now.”When Dylan finally emerged with a grumpy face, Oscar, who was waiting by the washroom door, greeted him graciously, “Mr. Koch, how do you feel?”“Not good!” Dylan snorted, “Tell your master I’m returning to Eastcliff now.”Osc
Lord Moore had perceived Dylan’s real intention of visiting Aurous Hill this time.Dylan must have been captivated by his granddaughter’s beauty and charm so much so that he wanted to draw the Moore family to the Koch family’s side and ultimately make them their lackeys. At the same time, he would seduce his granddaughter as his companion.If this had happened back then, he would not refuse his olive branch even though he had seen through all their plans, be it favorable or hostile. After all, such good opportunities did not happen very often. So many families in the South Region were eager to become the lackeys and underlings for the big families in Eastcliff, but these big families looked down upon them, and some even despised them.There were many reclusive rich families in Eastcliff that their fortune was beyond the imagination of the second-rate families in the South Region.The Wade family of Eastcliff was the best example in this case. No one from the Wade family had made
Reuben was gravely distraught now. Never did he expect that his grandfather would still curry favor with Charlie even if he had to offend Dylan during the process.Reuben was not a fool. He could see that the reason why his grandfather took Charlie so seriously was that he was a little addicted to the Rejuvenating Pill.In other words, instead of gripping the olive branch that Dylan and the Koch family had tossed at them, his grandfather would rather get on good terms with Charlie. This proved that the old man no longer cared about the future of the family nor the wealth they could generate, but rather how many more years he could live.Otherwise, he would never have given up the Koch family’s offer and chosen Charlie.This made Reuben extremely disappointed and upset.First of all, Lord Moore had given up the opportunity offered by the Koch family, and this meant that the Moore family had lost a good chance to rise above and beyond.Secondly, if Lord Moore was given another Re
At this moment, Lord Moore continued, “Jasmine has always been a very well-mannered girl, and she is very concerned about family matters, be it personal or business. I am truly grateful for that. In fact, some time ago, when I was gravely ill and all the doctors announced that my time had almost come, she introduced Master Wade to me. It was Master Wade who cured me and pulled me back from the light. He even gave me the precious Rejuvenating Pill, allowing me to rewind my timeline to 20 years younger.”Lord Moore paused for a while, bowed slightly to Charlie, and said, “Master Wade, I thank you for your help in curing me, and of course, I am grateful for my granddaughter and her endless efforts. Therefore, on the occasion of her birthday today, I would like to make an announcement. I have decided that from tomorrow, Jasmine will officially take over the position of the head of the Moore family. Also, I will officially retire from tomorrow!”Lord Moore’s voice echoed across the hall l
As soon as Lord Moore made this statement, those who opposed the idea of Jasmine inheriting the family business shut their mouth, acknowledging Lord Moore’s opinion.They understood one fact from it, and that was they and their children had no chance to inherit the family business anyway, so it might as well be someone who was more capable and eligible to take over the position of the head of the family. Lord Moore was right—the stronger the head of the family was, the more money she could make, and the more money they could get in return.Reuben was pretty average in all aspects, but there was a huge gap between him and Jasmine in terms of capability.Jasmine was relatively young, but she could take care of and manage the family business very well.The antique business was prosperous under her management, whilst the foreign trade was handled very impressively and superbly in her hands.In terms of business skills and talents, she surpassed all the descendants of her generation
As this thought lingered in Tyler’s mind, he ground his teeth scornfully, murderous intent flooding his thoughts.Lord Moore seemed to have noticed the dissatisfaction in his eldest son’s expression and tone, so he turned to Charlie and said respectfully, “Master Wade, I have a presumptuous request that I hope you can agree to.”Charlie smiled lightly and said, “Do tell, Lord Moore.”Lord Moore started, “I hope you can become the second heir to the patriarch of the Moore family in case anything happens to Jasmine in the future. If Jasmine does not leave any children, you will automatically become the head of the family. If you agree, I can promise you that 30% of the family’s net profit will be yours, and it will be valid forever. You have my word on that.”The reason for such a request was because Lord Moore was indeed worried that his eldest son and his family might harm Jasmine due to the arrangement, but he was reluctant to give up his decision because of this reason.He knew
Right now, Charlie regarded Jasmine as his close friend and was willing to protect her with all his might.As for Tyler and Reuben, their eyes were burning with a murderous flame.They had been eyeing the position of patriarch for many years, and they couldn’t accept the fact that Jasmine had been appointed for the position.Nevertheless, they were very clear that it was bound to be a fierce and ugly battle if they wanted to regain the position of the heir.Therefore, they had to plan their strategy wisely. If they decided to make a move, they had to ensure a guaranteed victory.At this birthday banquet, Jasmine was undoubtedly the happiest person in the hall.At this moment, from the bottom of Jasmine’s heart, her gratitude and love for Charlie reached its peak.How could a smart woman like her not know Charlie’s intention in giving her the Rejuvenating Pill?Who would benefit the most from the Rejuvenating Pill? Old people, of course. Very old people.She was only 26 years o
