Chapter 1963
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
Despite Wendy being faithful to Gerald and being pregnant with his child, she was still abandoned by him. Ever since then, Wendy became Kenneth and Jeffrey’s sexual partner and plaything. 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

At the A05 villa’s entrance, Charlie looked at the crowd and then asked in surprise, “Why are you all here?” Albert smiled as he answered, “Master Wade, New Year is approaching soon. Therefore, all of us would like to pay you a visit in advance as well as bring some new year gifts for you.”Isaac nodded and said, “Master Wade, we’re afraid we may waste your time if we take turns to visit you. After discussing among ourselves, we decided to come over together!” Graham added, “Master Wade, we’ve prepared some humble gifts for you. I hope you don’t mind.” “Agreed!” Zeke continued, hurriedly, “Master Wade, you’re a saint. Hope you won’t mind the humble gifts from commoners like us.” Charlie smiled kindly as he replied, “I’m deeply grateful that all of you still remember me. You don’t have to spend so much for me.” Lord Moore stepped forward and said seriously, “Master Wade, all of us are indebted to you. It’s totally worth it for us to pay you a courteous visit during
Chapter 1966
Harvey replied hurriedly, “Master Wade, I am good! All thanks to you and Director Lane!” As soon as Charlie heard what Harvey said, his facial expression turned serious, and he replied solemnly, “Buddy, everyone can call me Master Wade, but you’re an exception!” Harvey spoke awkwardly, “How can I be an exception when even Director Lane greeted you as Master Wade?” Charlie walked to him, patted his shoulder, and said seriously, “Buddy, they greeted me as Master Wade just because I’ve more or less lent them a helping hand. However, you’re different!” Harvey added hurriedly, “You’re the one who helped me get to where I am today….You’re my cornerstone, and in fact, I should respect you more than the others!” Charlie looked slightly displeased and said, “Ridiculous! Both of us grew up together in Aurous Hill’s Welfare Institute together. Although we’re not biological brothers, those days in the institute have cultivated us to be like one!” “All these years, we’

Without any further delays, Charlie invited all of his guests into his villa. The servants of the prestigious guests brought down the gifts from their cars, and there were at least twenty to thirty of them carrying myriads of high-end gifts as they entered into the villa one after another. Lady Wilson, who stayed at A04, was stunned to see such a scene. She then murmured to herself, “This is unlike any typical kind of gift-giving session I have seen. This is more like a tribute paid to an emperor in ancient times!” Hannah felt extremely sorrowful as she opened her mouth and said, “All these are filthy-rich men. At the very least, they are wealthy men. The total value of these gifts would be worth almost a billion.” Wendy muttered with her teary eyes, “It should be worth at least a billion. The villa given by Gerald alone had cost more than a billion….” “Oh my…” Lady Wilson had a disgruntled expression on her face as she said, “I can’t watch this anymore. Otherwise, I wil
Chapter 1968
A myriad of gifts had been received and accumulated like a small mountain in the living hall, along with the arrival of the many dignified VIPs. She felt extremely excited and couldn’t wait to unwrap each of these presents one by one. Nonetheless, given the situation with many VIPs around, she had to keep herself calm and composed. Albert was Charlie’s most faithful follower. Unsurprisingly, he was also the one who initiated this surprise visit. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and read aloud, “Master Wade, here’s the list of gifts given by everyone as a token of appreciation. Allow me to read them out.” Before Charlie had even spoken, Elaine, who was beside him, had already exclaimed in excitement, “Hurry up! Read them out loudly!” Albert replied hurriedly, “Sure, Madam. I’ll read them out loudly!” He then cleared his throat and said loudly, “Isaac Cameron from Shangri-la has given Master Wade a hot spring villa located at Shangri-la Hotel with a value of ei

After getting confirmation from Charlie, Albert then continued, “Lord Moore has gifted a San Lorenzo luxurious yacht made in Italy!” “A yacht?!” Elaine was the first one to blurt out the question, “What is the purpose of the yacht? Is it a yacht to visit tourist places?” Lord Moore laughed as he answered, “Let me clear any misunderstandings, Madam. San Lorenzo is an old European luxury yacht manufacturer. The length of the yacht is more than 20 meters long and has three decks. It is very suitable for family trips.” Elaine was startled and said, “I suppose a yacht like this is worth a lot, right?” Reuben, who was nearby, blurted out, “It costs around seventy million with tax.” “How much again?!”Elaine was dumbfounded. “A yacht which costs seventy million?! This is crazy!” Claire couldn’t help but cut in, “Lord Moore, I’m afraid we can’t accept such a lavish gift from you….” Charlie smiled gently and made a hand gesture to interrupt Claire and said, “Darlin
Chapter 1970
When Jacob heard the last gift, he rose from his seat immediately and asked in a trembling voice, “Antique blue and white elephant ears porcelain vase with dragon patterns?!” Albert nodded. “Correct, Mr. Wilson. It is indeed a pair of antique blue and white elephant ears porcelain vases with dragon patterns.” “My goodness!” Jacob was an antique lover. Although he was swindled rather often, he had a good understanding of the antique industry. Blue and white porcelain from the Yuan dynasty was one of the most expensive porcelain antiques. In fact, a blue and white porcelain plate from the Yuan dynasty could easily be sold up to millions. For bigger items from the Yuan dynasty, such as the blue and white porcelain pot, it had already cost over a billion during an auction more than ten years ago. If it were to be sold again in this era, it would be worth at least five billion. Jacob had obviously heard of antique blue and white elephant ears porcelain vases wi
