Chapter 1610
In fact, Loreen was also a big fan of Quinn, just like Claire. If Charlie was not here, she would have already rushed over to take a picture with Quinn.So, Loreen could not help but ask tentatively, “Charlie, how did you get to know Miss Golding?”Charlie had not figured out how to answer Loreen’s question yet.If he said that Quinn was just one of his Feng Shui customers, it would clearly be unreasonable, and it would not make sense for Charlie to come and ice skate at Herrolls Bay hand-in-hand with Quinn.However, if he said that he had already known Quinn since they were young, he would have to reveal his own identity.After all, in Loreen’s eyes, he was just an orphan who had been living in the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute all this time.How could an orphan like him, who had been living in Aurous Hill all this while, actually know the eldest young lady of the Golding family from Eastcliff? This was completely unreasonable and did not make any sense at all.So, Charlie felt
Chapter 1611
Loreen had originally felt that Charlie’s rhetorical explanation could barely make the cut. However, there were still certain things that made her feel that something was not right at all.Nevertheless, Charlie’s self-deprecation instantly swept away all the remaining doubts that Loreen had in her heart.She thought of the time when Charlie was despised and looked down upon by everyone else when they were still in university. Even some of their classmates who came from the same background as him had also bullied him wantonly.Charlie had never held it against anyone, let alone bother to argue or fight back against anyone else at all. He acted as though everything had nothing to do with him at all.Based on Charlie’s character, it was definitely impossible for Charlie to tell people about the fact that he knew Quinn personally.Moreover, even if he were to tell people about it, no one would have believed him anyway.As she thought about this, Loreen was suddenly filled with admira
Chapter 1612
When Charlie saw that Loreen already believed his words, he said, “Loreen, it’s already getting late. We will leave first. I will see you at the airport tomorrow.”Loreen nodded slightly. At this time, she suddenly recalled something, and she hurriedly said, “By the way, Charlie, you’ve saved me once again!”Charlie smiled as he said, “The person that I saved was not you. I saved the young girl. If she really crashed into you just now, you would not have suffered any serious injuries. However, the situation would have been very dangerous for the young girl.”Loreen pouted as she stubbornly said, “No matter what it is, I still have to thank you!”Charlie smiled helplessly as he said, “Okay, we will leave first. I will not be so polite to you anymore. Remember not to tell Claire about this matter first.”Loreen nodded as she said, “Okay. Don’t worry. I will not breathe a word about this matter to anyone else. It is indeed getting late. Both of us will also leave now.”Loreen and he
Chapter 1613
Charlie was not overly wary of Stephen, because based on his observation, he could tell that Stephen had no ill will toward him. In fact, it was all thanks to Stephen’s secret protection that he was able to grow up safely in Aurous Hill. Stephen had had the chance to harm him. If he had indeed held evil intentions toward him, he would have done it the first time he had a chance to, but he hadn’t.Therefore, Charlie had absolute trust in Stephen. He was also one of the few people that Charlie trusted. Thus, he was going to contact Stephen for a meetup to learn some details about the past.At this moment, Stephen was at the Wade Organization.In the executive conference room of the company, all the members of the Wade family were gathered there for the family meeting.The one who chaired the meeting was Jeremiah Wade, Charlie’s grandfather, and also the patriarch of the Wade family.Nearly twenty of the Wade family members were sitting rigidly upright in the conference room.At t
Chapter 1614
Upon hearing Jeremiah’s remarks, all the Wade family members looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling as though he was talking about a fairytale rather than a statement.By comparison, the Schulz family’s net worth was about 20% higher than the Wade family, which wasn’t very significant at first glance.However, because the actual amount of net worth of these two families was so large, the 20% difference in monetary value was incredibly huge.If the Wade family wanted to overtake the Schulz family, their assets would have to increase by at least several hundred billion.The Schulz family was already stronger than the Wade family in terms of volume, and naturally, they were growing faster than the Wade family. Consequently, the Schulz family was slowly widening the gap with the Wade family.It was not only difficult to rise against the current and catch up with the Schulz family, but it almost sounded like a fantasy.Jeremiah looked at the silent crowd and sighed. “Twenty ye
Chapter 1615
As soon as Jeremiah said this, the entire audience gaped in astonishment!Curtis’s son... wasn’t that Charlie?!In reality, back when Jeremiah had asked Stephen to purchase the Emgrand Group in Aurous Hill and give it to Charlie, even extending an invitation to welcome Charlie back to the family, everyone knew that Charlie was still alive.Apart from Jeremiah, everyone else was very wary of Charlie and even repelled him, fearing that he would return to Eastcliff and compete with them for the Wade family’s inheritance and power.Fortunately, Charlie had refused Stephen’s request and did not return to the Wade family, so everyone had been relieved and gradually put their guards down.However, even if Charlie decided not to return, everyone was still very agitated by the fact that Jeremiah had spent hundreds of billions on buying him the Emgrand Group.Although the Wade family’s assets exceeded a trillion dollars, they were a very large family.Jeremiah had four sons and two daught
Chapter 1616
Even Jeremiah was dumbfounded.Stephen started in a cold voice, “I’ve never thought about getting Mr. Charlie back to Eastcliff. I’m just telling you objectively that Mr. Charlie is no less inferior to his father, who was so influential in Eastcliff back in those days. As for the marriage arrangement, it was Lord Wade who proposed it, not me!”“Moreover, calm down. I can assure you that Mr. Charlie has no intention of coming back at all. With my understanding of him, even if I kneel and beg him, he will not come back, let alone abandon his wife to marry the Schulz family’s descendant!”Everyone heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that.He didn’t want to come back? That would be awesome!Jeremiah’s eyes narrowed. After pondering for a while, he said seriously, “Actually, I think if Charlie comes back, he might really succeed in marrying Sophie.”“Impossible!” Clayton blurted, “The Schulz family is so prestigious and prominent, they might not even be interested in Felix, who is so
Chapter 1617
Just as the Wade family members had their own ax to grind and were thinking of a reason they should use to convince Jeremiah to give up this idea, Jeremiah slapped the table and said excitedly, “Well, if Charlie agrees to this arrangement, I think it can be done!”Clayton hurriedly said, “Father, Charlie is already married! Do you think the Schulz family would marry their precious daughter to a man who has been married before? Even if Charlie gets divorced, he’ll bear the title of a divorcee!”Jeremiah said indifferently, “As long as he has invincible charm, no one can resist him even if he is a three-time divorcee or is still married. Did you know how many girls from wealthy families in Eastcliff were willing to become Curtis’s mistress even though he was married? They didn’t mind Mrs. Wade’s title as long as they could be with him. That was Curtis’s charm!”Clayton huffed with disappointment in his tone, “Father! Times have changed! The youngsters nowadays are so self-centered and
