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

This was completely unacceptable for all of Charlie’s cousins!At this moment, everyone began to plan a countermeasure out of desperation.Jeremiah, on the other hand, was feeling at ease and delighted. He was absolutely certain that the opportunity for the Wade family to take off and succeed was in Charlie’s hands. This instantly cleared up the doubts that had been plaguing him for the past four years and made him feel extremely relieved.He laughed out loud, stood up, and said in a cheerful voice, “Alright, that’s it for today. Dismissed!”Everyone donned a complex expression, but no one dared to say anything against Jeremiah’s orders. They had their own ax to grind, and most of them had not anticipated Charlie’s high-profile return to the Wade family.After the meeting, as soon as Stephen returned to his office and sat down, he received a call from Charlie.Delighted, he hurriedly answered the call and asked respectfully, “Mr. Charlie, glad to hear from you. What’s the occasio

The Tea Time Room was divided into three sections—the front yard, middle yard, and backyard, all of which were typical antique wooden buildings with a built-in stage inside where people often came to listen to live bands or stand-up comedy.The front and middle yards were open to the public where the members of the teahouse could enjoy the facilities, but the back yard was closed to the public. This was Stephen’s private territory which was extremely confidential.Stephen graciously invited Charlie and Quinn into the private parlor in the backyard.Once inside, Stephen immediately dismissed all the service staff and personally invited Charlie and Quinn to sit down on the sofa and made a pot of tea for them with his precious limited-edition tea set.After serving the fragrant tea to the two of them, Stephen said, unable to conceal his excitement, “Mr. Charlie, I didn’t expect to see you in Eastcliff, let alone with Miss Golding…”Frankly, Stephen had long hoped that Charlie would b

Charlie could just take the Rejuvenating Pill out and give it to Stephen if he wanted to. However, he stated a condition where he would give it to Stephen when he needed it the most to gain Stephen’s trust and reliability.It was not because he had any doubts about Stephen in any way, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with being cautious under any kind of circumstances.With the Rejuvenating Pill as bait, Stephen would definitely be more loyal to him.As expected, upon hearing this, Stephen startled in awestruck and said gratefully, “Mr. Charlie, I’m really glad to hear you say this. I swear, I dedicate my life to you, and I’m willing to go through all kinds of treacherous routes for you!”Stephen was not only a loyal man but also an intelligent one.Although he had no idea what the Rejuvenating Pill was, he was able to get a glimpse of it through Yule’s current condition.First of all, the magical elixir that Charlie had mentioned must be the miracle drug that could cure

Stephen managed a bitter smile when he heard Charlie’s question and said forlornly, “Mr. Charlie, the vast majority of people in the world is ungrateful and often take things for granted. Only when in need of others will they cling to them and enjoy the benefits and support that is blessed to them, but once they don’t need help, they will turn the other way and even, in turn, blame those who helped them, just to steal their limelight…”At this point, Stephen said in a rather dejected tone, “When your father led these families to fight the Rothschild family, they all sucked up to him, so much so that they even took the initiative to establish an Eastcliff Business Alliance and elected your father as the first chairman of the alliance…”“But after your father had defeated the Rothschild family, they immediately disbanded the alliance and even slandered your father’s reputation by accusing him of failing to manage and secure an absolute victory against the Rothschild family. There were

Stephen quickly said, “Mr. Charlie, I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?”Charlie replied, “Of course. Fire away.”Stephen started, “Mr. Charlie, if you want to make those in Eastcliff who have failed your father pay, you must first take the Wade family firmly into your hands, and then make a detailed and complete plan to swipe at them one by one!”Charlie asked, “If I had the Wade family in my hands, which family do you think I should strike first?”“The Schulz!” Stephen replied without any hesitation.“The Schulz family is the most powerful and wealthiest at the moment. Destroying them is equivalent to achieving half of your goal. Besides, the people who slandered your father behind his back were all assembled by the Schulz family. They had formed a group called the Anti-Wade Alliance where the Schulz family was the leader.”“Anti-Wade Alliance?” Charlie sneered, “What a name! I won’t stop pursuing the Schulz family then, I swear!”Stephen said, “By the way, today, Lord

“Becoming the patriarch of the Wade family?”Charlie smiled and replied with a slight disdain, “I have no interest in becoming the patriarch of the Wade family.”Stephen replied instantaneously, “Mr. Charlie, please do not forget that the Wade family is the second most prominent family in all of Eastcliff and I dare say, second most prominent in the country! So, if you’re able to obtain the title as patriarch of the family, Mr. Charlie, then the power gap between you and the Schulz family will be relatively closer.”Charlie waved his hands and replied. “Stephen, one day, I will defeat the Schulz family with my own hands. I will destroy all those who had wronged my father and his family. I will use my own strength to make them kneel before my parents grave and confess their sins!”Stephen sighed. “Mr. Charlie, if you were to become the patriarch of the Wade family, you can realize your wish much sooner!”Charlie said coldly, “I don’t want to go back to the Wade family because when

During the journey, Quinn didn’t utter a single word. It was as if she had something on her mind.After seeing her beautiful brows frowning, Charlie couldn’t help but ask, “Nana, what’s on your mind?”Quinn came back to her senses and replied, “Brother Charlie, is your relationship with Claire really…good?”Charlie was surprised by the question and replied with a question of his own. “Why do you ask this so suddenly?”Quinn replied, “I’m just curious and also a little worried.”“What are you worried about?”“Worried about what I should do in the future if your relationship is really good…”Charlie smiled a little and asked, “Before you met me, have you ever wondered about your future?”Quinn nodded. “I’ve thought about it before. Before I met you, I had always known that I must look for you. If I couldn’t find you, then I’d stay single since I have no feelings for other men anyway.”Charlie continued, “If you really hadn’t met me… I don’t think you’d actually stay single until
