Chapter 1957
Carmen never expected what Albert said would really happen.She thought of asking for preferential treatment from Charlie, but instead of submitting to her request, Charlie instead reduced her daily meal budget from fifty to a measly thirty dollars.She finally experienced the pain that Lady Wilson had been put through.If she had known that this would be the consequence, why did she even bother making a fuss?Looking at Carmen’s face that was awash with agony, Albert mocked with a playful smirk. “What did I just say? I told you Master Wade would surely decrease your meal budget, but you refused to believe me. So, are you beginning to now?” Donning a gloomy expression, Carmen said nothing, nor did she dare say anything, because she knew that the more she spoke up, the worse the consequences would be. She might really end up eating bread and hotdog if she went on.Albert smiled when he saw her being submissive and continued taunting. “Miss Wade, I hope you enjoy your seven days
Chapter 1958
Even if Carmen was at fault for going to Charlie’s mother-in-law on her own accord, Charlie should not have treated Carmen so harshly. He even forced her to stay in Aurous Hill’s shantytown for a week on New Year’s Day.This proved that it was absolutely not as easy as Jeremiah had imagined if he wanted to tame Charlie, let alone have him return to Wade family and follow his command.Jeremiah decided that he should not rush this matter. Otherwise, it might backfire.Realizing this fact, he said, “Carmen, you were at fault in this matter after all. So even if Charlie did go a little too far, there is no need for you to completely turn against him. I’ll have to ask you to bear with him for a few more days, and we’ll come up with a better solution in the long run.”Relieved, Carmen quickly replied, “I know, Father. I’m sorry that I can’t be by your side during this period of time, especially during the New Year…”Jeremiah smiled faintly. “It’s okay. It’s not a big deal, don’t you min
Chapter 1959
“The man who rescued Jaime Schulz?”Jeremiah asked in surprise. “Is this the same mysterious man we talked about the other day?”“Yes!” Clayton nodded. “Rumor has it that when Sophie and Jaime were kidnapped in Japan, they were rescued by this mysterious man.”Jeremiah quizzed again as his curiosity increased. “The mysterious man rescued the siblings in Japan, and Schulz family is looking for him here. Are you saying that this man is an Oskian?”Clayton nodded slowly in response. “Highly likely, yes. Why else would Schulz family look for the man appearing in Japan here in Oskia?”Jeremiah grinned delightfully and said, “Whoever this mysterious man is, one thing’s for sure, his ability is beyond anyone’s imagination!”“Yes!” Clayton agreed. “He could kill so many Iga ninjas and rescue both siblings at the same time, which meant his power is absolutely extraordinary!”Jeremiah blurted, “If our Wade family can have such a talent under our wings, we have nothing to fear about in the

‘By the looks of it, I have to stay as far away from him as possible, and I will not let him have the chance to return to Wade family!’***Meanwhile, at Schulz’ residence.Sitting in front of the computer in the study, Sophie was looking over the summary and briefing of information gathered from all over the country.Since her return from Japan, the image of Charlie kept occupying her mind, no matter if she was awake or asleep. She got all fidgety because of him.However, she did not tell anyone about this, not even her brother or mother.She wanted to use her influence to find the mysterious man who rescued her and thank him in person. But after trying for days, not find a single valuable clue of his whereabouts could be found.To quickly replenish Schulz family’s significant loss of combat power, her grandfather, Cadfan, decided to search for a new group of martial artists at all costs. She immediately recommended the mysterious man to Cadfan, claiming how he was so powerful
Chapter 1961
Sophie knew that the customs entrance and exit records were considered private and confidential documents. Nonetheless, the airport surveillance system was not.As such, she thought to herself, ‘If my savior has returned to Japan, he must have passed through Japan’s airport. If I check the surveillance videos carefully, I may be able to trace him. However, the workload would be tremendous…’ ‘Moreover, only my brother and I have met my savior before. Apart from him, no one else would be willing to help out.’ At this moment, Sophie felt that the opportunity of finding her savior was very slim. Nevertheless, she was reluctant to give up. She said, “Zahra, please help to settle the copy. After that, pass the Schulz family’s exclusive network to me.” It would be very troublesome to transmit massive amounts of data. Even an ordinary network would take up to a few days to transfer several airports’ surveillance videos, let alone an optical transmission. It may take months.
Chapter 1962
Little did Charlie know that Sophie was giving her all to look for him. In fact, he placed all his attention on the preparation of the New Year’s goodies. Ever since Charlie’s parents passed away, he always looked forward to this festive season. In the past, he had a tough life. Festive seasons were no different from any ordinary day. Not only could he not enjoy the warmth of his family, but he would also envy others who could gather with theirs. Since he married Claire, he did not show any particular interest in the New Year festival. In those days, the Wilson family celebrated the festive season among themselves, and for Charlie, he would be the subject of everyone’s sarcasm. Every New Year’s Eve reunion dinner, he would be humiliated and embarrassed. Comparatively, this year would be much better. This would be his most anticipated Oskian New Year ever since his parents’ demise. It was the twenty-ninth day of the Oskian New Year. Early the next morning while the

Charlie had recognized Albert’s voice via the speakers of the intercom system. However, he never thought that Albert would come to his house at this time. Also, from what he heard from his father-in-law, he did not come here alone. He then rose and said, “Dad, I’ll open the door.” Claire asked in surprise, “Charlie, I hope these people are not those VIPs who are only looking for you because of your luck and fortune, right?” Charlie grinned and answered, “You’re right! It is none other than them. Only these people will greet me as Master Wade!” Claire shook her head helplessly as she teased, “Master Wade, I think you’re being quite egotistical!” Charlie raised his eyebrows. “Egotistical to the extent that people trust in my ability!” After speaking, he stepped out the door and passed through the garden before finally reaching the front door. When the big door was opened, Charlie was stunned by the sight set before him. It was not only Albert, Is
Chapter 1964

Not only did she not gain any benefits from them both, but she had also tarnished her own reputation. Wendy had been living a miserable life now. Although she was living in a villa at Thompson First, she had been starving all night and could not afford breakfast. The moment she met with Gerald again, she felt the pain again as she walked down memory lane. In a brief moment, Wendy’s eyes were filled with tears that streamed down her face. She choked desperately, “My Gerald, why did you abandon me? What have I done wrong to let you leave me so heartlessly...? My Gerald…” At this moment, Wendy was crying in despair! Hannah felt heartbroken when she saw her daughter crying. She embraced her gently into her arms and comforted her, “Wendy, I believe you will find someon
