Claire rolled under Charlie’s quilt before she gently wrapped her arms around his waist.At this moment, she suddenly felt a strong and unprecedented sense of security.She had already been with Charlie for a long time now but this was the first time that she has held Charlie like this. Although she felt very safe and secure, she could not help but feel very nervous and she breathed heavily and frantically at this time.Charlie, who had been filled with all sorts of thoughts, was suddenly taken aback by Claire’s actions.When he turned his face around, Claire was also surprised because of him.Claire’s beautiful face turned hot in an instant and she stammered, “Husband, you…have you not slept yet?”Charlie also began explaining in a flustered manner, “I was asleep but I woke up again…”After he was done speaking, he could not help but asked, “Wife, why did you come under my quilt?”Claire replied in embarrassment, “That…I…I just…I just…”Claire stammered and murmured for a lon
Charlie woke up very early the next morning.He did not sleep well at all last night.He did not know why, but he could not help but think of Nanako as soon as he closed his eyes.During this entire period, many women just kept popping up around Charlie.Whether it was Jasmine, Aurora, Xyla, Stephanie, or even Quinn, even though these women had all made his heart stir and feel a little excited at some point, none of them made him feel as distressed as Nanako did.Quinn had waited for him all these years, and she had been looking for him for so long. Although Charlie felt very guilty deep down, Quinn was still the young lady of a very wealthy and influential family. She was loved and cared for by her parents in every possible way.Even as Quinn reached adulthood, she also became an internationally renowned celebrity. She was sought after by many and was loved and admired by countless people.She still lived a great, blissful, and fulfilling life even without him by her side.How
Aurous Airport.The private jet arranged by Isaac had already been waiting in the hangar for a long time.Albert and Ichiro had already arrived and were now waiting below the parked jet too.Liam and Paul had also reached earlier, and they were all waiting for Charlie’s arrival.At nine in the morning.Isaac’s convoy made their way to the hangar, one car after the other.Isaac immediately got out of the car before swiftly walking to the other side to open Charlie’s door.The moment Charlie stepped out of the car, everyone stepped forward to greet him.Charlie nodded in response and said, “Has everyone arrived? If you are all here, we can get on the plane now.”Isaac made a quick headcount before replying to Charlie respectfully, “Mr. Wade, everyone is already here.”“Okay, let’s set off then!”In addition to Isaac, Albert, Liam, Paul, and Ichiro, who was accompanying Charlie on this trip to Japan, Albert and Isaac also brought a few subordinates. In total, there were twelve
As he thought about it, Ichiro could not help but feel a little guilty deep inside.He felt that sense of guilt because it would seem equivalent to him giving away his father’s entire life’s worth of hard work.An old Oskian saying—the younger generation, heirs inheriting their predecessor’s assets, would not feel any heartache when selling off everything the previous generation had worked so hard for. It was because they did not know or understand the hardships of their predecessors. However, this saying was directed at the prodigal son. Although Ichiro was not very capable, he could not be regarded as that.If he were really a prodigal son, then he would not have come to Oskia to participate in the Chinese Medicine Expo, and he would not have any thoughts or intentions of coveting Anthony’s magical pills.The reason why he was so determined to get his hands on the magical pills was simply that he wanted to continue developing Kobayashi Pharma so that Kobayashi Pharma could reach
Concurrently, Kobayashi Pharma’s headquarters in Tokyo was preparing to hold an emergency board of directors meeting.After Jiro, the chairman of Kobayashi Pharma, left for Oskia, he suddenly disappeared without a trace and left Kobayashi Pharma without a leader.In the beginning, the other Kobayashi Pharma directors were doing everything they could do to find Jiro’s whereabouts.However, even after putting in a lot of effort and hard work, Jiro was nowhere to be found at all.After that, they immediately contacted Ito Yahiko, the head of the Ito family.They contacted Yahiko because the directors of Kobayashi Pharma knew that Yahiko had been very optimistic about Kobayashi Pharma and Jiro. They also knew that he had been hoping that Jiro would become his son-in-law so that he could buy some of Kobayashi Pharma’s shares.Moreover, Jiro only went to Oskia simply because he wanted to pursue Yahiko’s daughter, Nanako.Nanako was already back in Japan, but Jiro had entirely disappea
Yahiko then called Masayoshi. As soon as the call was connected, he said, “Mr. Kobayashi, congratulations on your appointment as the acting chairman!”Masayoshi said respectfully, “Mr. Ito, thank you for your kind words. I am just being appointed as the acting chairman temporarily. When my nephew, Jiro, returns to Kobayashi Pharma, I will certainly return this position to him.”Yahiko sneered before he said, “I deduce that Jiro will not be coming back anymore. Although you are only the acting chairman now, I believe that you will become the official chairman of Kobayashi Pharma soon!”Masayoshi secretly felt delighted inside. However, he kept his composure and continued saying, “Mr. Ito, to tell you the truth, I still think about Jiro day and night, and I hope that he will be able to return safely.”Yahiko smiled as he said, “Mr. Kobayashi, the reason why I called you today is not just to give you a polite greeting. I have a business proposal for you.”Masayoshi’s tone changed. He
In the Kobayashi Pharma’s conference room.Many distant family members of the Kobayashi family and several top-level business executives were all seated solemnly.There had been just too many incidents happening in Kobayashi Pharma, one after another, and the tense situation made everyone who was present feel a little nervous.First, the old chairman died tragically because he was poisoned to death. Next, the eldest young master was suspected of using poison to kill his biological father. The second young master then began persecuting and hunting his elder brother down, and he was said to have already died. After that, the second young master also suddenly disappeared. It certainly seemed as though this family of three had incurred the wrath of heaven and was being punished and condemned.However, even though they were nervous, each of them was still full of anticipation and high hopes for the future.This was because they had not been able to have any deep participation in the pl
Kobayashi Stomach Pill was the key product of Kobayashi Pharma, which generated most of the company’s revenues and profit. Kobayashi Pharma would definitely suffer a devastating loss if they rivaled Apothecary Stomach Pill heads-on after it was launched.Therefore, someone asked Kobayashi Masayoshi, “Mr. Chairman, we can’t just sit and await our dooms! Do you have any idea on how to deal with it?”Masayoshi replied, “Indeed, there is a way to deal with it. We must increase our investment in drug research and development, and we must also quickly upgrade our current products. If our Kobayashi Stomach Pill can surpass Apothecary Stomach Pill in terms of potency, I’m sure we can dominate and monopolize the market!”The person in charge of research and development continued, “Mr. Chairman, if we want to increase the funding for our department, we need a huge budget. Can we still afford it since the company was scammed not long ago?”Masayoshi cleared his throat and answered, “This is w
