Charlie felt quite helpless and forlorn when it came to Jasmine.He didn’t expect that she would be so attentive to him, but at the same time, he was surprised to find her so stubborn.He didn’t intend to stir her feelings but things still happened when he had least expected them to.He was partially responsible for the deep affection she had for him, but he knew clearly that it was impossible to resolve this matter overnight, so he could only say, “I think it’s best if we give each other some time, let’s talk about this later.”Jasmine glanced at him anxiously and asked in a soft voice, “Will you ignore me from now on? Will you keep your distance from me and alienate me?”Charlie smiled and said, “Why would I? There’s no way I will avoid and ignore you simply because you confessed your feelings to me. I’m not that kind of person.”Jasmine heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Actually, I’ve already prepared myself mentally for the fact that it may take a long time to realize this d
After getting off the car, Charlie stood in place as he watched Jasmine drive away, then remained standing for more than ten seconds before turning around and walking through the Thompson First gate.When he returned to his own house, Claire had already finished her night shower and was lying on the bed reading a book.She smiled at the sight of Charlie and asked, “How was your friend’s birthday party?”Charlie felt a little awkward and replied in an uneasy tone, “Oh, the party, it was nice…”Claire didn’t know that it was actually Jasmine’s birthday because Charlie didn’t tell her about it as he didn’t want Claire to overthink the whole thing.Claire, on the other hand, didn’t notice any difference in Charlie. Instead, she put the book down, looked at Charlie, and said in a rather timid voice, “Dear, can I ask you a favor, please?”Charlie uttered, “You don’t have to be so formal with me, dear. I’ll do anything for you, go ahead, spill it.”Claire said, “My high school friend i
Meanwhile, Jasmine had returned to the Moore family mansion. On the way back, she blushed shyly and her heart was thumping vigorously when she recalled the bold kiss she gave Charlie.Frankly speaking, Jasmine was not the kind of woman who would take the initiative in a relationship.She had countless suitors since she was young, but she had never liked any of these suitors.In fact, she hadn’t even liked anyone before she met Charlie.Even she herself did not expect that she would spiral out of control after falling in love with Charlie.As the young lady of the number one family in Aurous Hill, if the news about the kiss were to spread, she would soon become the laughing stock of the entire city.After all, in public’s opinion, they shunned the unreserved idea of a girl throwing herself at a man.Moreover, it was her first kiss that she had kept for twenty-six years and she gave it to Charlie.However, Jasmine had no regrets at all. At the same time, she decided firmly th
Moreover, they were at their wits’ end after Lord Moore had totally recovered from his terminal illness and was now as healthy as a middle-aged man. This meant that he would live for another ten to twenty years.Jasmine might be green and inexperienced now, but with the dedication and hope Lord Moore placed on her, as well as his protection and security, it was no doubt that Jasmine would be able to establish herself as the reliable head of the family in a few years’ time.By that time, it would be very difficult to overthrow her.It was a well-known fact from history that whenever the noble dynasties were vying to claim the throne, the best time for an insurgency was when the new emperor was on the throne with a weak foundation of power.For example, Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty rose to rebellion against his nephew, the Jianwen Emperor, who had recently ascended the throne, and successfully overthrew the newly-elected emperor.However, their current problem was that Jasmine was not
At this moment, late at night at the Eastcliff International Airport, the private jet that Dylan Koch was in landed at the airport.Throughout the flight, Dylan was on edge after swallowing the ruby necklace.He was afraid that the necklace would cause intestinal obstruction in his digestive system and that he would be in grave danger. Luckily, he landed safely in Eastcliff.As soon as the plane landed, it immediately taxied down the runway to the hangar where an ambulance was already waiting.The Koch family was very powerful and wealthy in Eastcliff with a net worth of at least five hundred billion dollars. Not only did they have their own team of medical doctors and specialists but they also had their own private hospital.The ambulance that had come to pick him up at the airport was from the Koch family’s hospital.On the ambulance were the vice president of the hospital and a number of gastroenterologists.These experts were particularly nervous when they heard that Dylan h
Dylan got steamed up about the doctor’s question!Charlie’s smug face appeared in his mind again and he couldn’t wait to wipe that stupid smile off his face as well as kill him now!And then there was Isaac!He was so rude and cruel that he even recorded a video to blackmail him and threatened him into swallowing the ruby necklace!If it wasn’t for his threat, he wouldn’t have swallowed the necklace!Did that b*stard really think he owned the world simply because he had the Wade family backing him up? What an outrage!Dylan glared at the doctor and scoffed angrily, “Mind your own f*cking business! If any stupid words come out of your mouth again, I’ll f*cking kill you!”The doctor quickly shut his mouth. Although Dylan was not the strongest one of them all in the Koch family as the third son of the family, he was not someone to be on bad terms with.The ambulance sped off to the hospital and upon arriving at the hospital, Dylan was immediately pushed into the CT scan room.The
The doctors and nurses who worked in the Koch family’s hospital knew how well off they were, so they would grab any chance they could to curry favor with the family members.It was beyond the nurse’s wildest dreams that the third young master of the Koch family would be attracted to her, it was like a Cinderella dream came true.Even just a one-night stand would guarantee her a comfortable life as promised by Mr. Koch, but what if she was pregnant with his child after the intercourse? Wouldn’t it mean that she would be able to get from zero to hero with the child in her belly?This was also the reason why many celebrities would, by all means, choose to become the mistress of a rich tycoon or even bear the tycoon a child! It was simply because they wanted to have their own version of the rags-to-riches story.Upon hearing his seductive proposal, the nurse nodded immediately without hesitation and said with a pasty and coquettish voice, “Mr. Koch, I’ll do whatever you want me to!”D
The nurse grabbed a pillow to cover her body and said in an aggrieved tone, “Mr. Koch, don’t you sling mud at me. If it weren’t for you, why would I betray my boyfriend? My boyfriend and I share a very affectionate relationship…”Dylan cursed furiously. “You have a boyfriend?”The nurse cried, “Yes, my boyfriend and I have been together for several years and we’ve even planned to get married this year. If he knows about this, it would be the end for me …”Dylan gritted his teeth in agitation while Leonard glared at the nurse with a dark face and said, “I’ll give you five million, get out of this room and this hospital right now.”When the nurse heard that she would get five million, she nodded profusely, quickly grabbed her uniform and put it on her, and ran out with a grin on her face.At this moment, the doctors came to tend to Dylan’s grandmother who fell on the floor, and took her away for examination.Dylan’s grandfather and father followed them, leaving Sylvia, Dylan’s moth
