The person who had spoken was an old butler working for the Dunn family in Aurous Hill.Helen had met him before when she was still young. Over the past two decades, the old butler had been taking care of the Dunn family’s old mansion in Aurous Hill. After that, Helen had married into the Schulz family. So, the both of them had never met again.Nevertheless, Helen recognized him at a glance, and she greeted him respectfully, “Uncle Walters! I hope that you have been well since we last met!”After she was done speaking, she hurriedly instructed her pair of children who were next to her, “Jaime, Sophie, hurry up and greet Grandpa Walters.”Jaime and Sophie hurriedly greeted him respectfully, “Hello, Grandpa Walters!”The old butler hurriedly bowed to thank her, and he felt very flattered as he said, “Miss Helen, I really did not expect you to remember me.”Helen smiled as she said, “Why wouldn’t I remember you? You used to be in charge of the mansion that was next to the prince’s m
At this time, Charlie was pushing his electric bike out of the main gate of the villa at Thompson First.Claire’s company’s Spring Festival Holiday had already ended, and she had already officially returned to work. Charlie’s father-in-law, Jacob, had also begun to reinvest and put all of his focus and attention into the affairs at the Calligraphy and Painting Association.Elaine, who was still on crutches, had made breakfast in the morning. After Jacob and Claire were done with breakfast, they drove their own BMWs to get on with their businesses. Charlie cleaned the house a little before he prepared to head out to buy some meat and eggs.Although the small vegetable garden at home could provide them with all the vegetables and fruits that most families needed, they would still have to buy their meat and eggs from the supermarket.Charlie rode his electric bike out, but he was not in a hurry to set off. Instead, he parked his electric bike at the side of the road along the Thompson
This was Charlie’s purpose in keeping Rosalie alive.He planned to send Rosalie back to Eastcliff when the time was right.Immediately afterward, he put his cell phone away. After that, he stepped on the accelerator of the electric bike, and the small machine made a buzzing sound as the electric bike started moving out.After leaving the Thompson First community, Charlie was turning his electric bike around as he prepared to go to Isaac’s hotel. At this time, he heard a familiar voice shouting behind him with a hint of nervousness, “Brother-in-Law!”Charlie subconsciously turned his head around, and he saw a familiar woman beckoning him from the sidewalk behind him.“Wendy?” Charlie was really surprised upon observing the woman carefully.It was not the first or second day since his family and Lady Wilson’s family had turned hostile against one another. For such a long time, the two families had been mutually destructive, just like water and fire.They would not greet each other
When she heard Charlie’s words, Wendy hurriedly nodded, and she choked up as she said seriously, “Brother-in-Law, you are right… now, I… I have already realized my own mistakes… I am no longer the arrogant, ignorant, and incompetent young lady who looked down on everyone else back then…”As she spoke, Wendy lowered the zipper of her down jacket slightly, revealing the blue uniform that she was wearing inside as she said, “Brother-in-Law, look! I have already found a job for myself now. I am currently working as a courtesy lady welcoming guests at the newly opened Pearl River Point community…”Charlie asked curiously, “Why are you working as a courtesy lady, welcoming guests? If I remember correctly, you graduated from university too. Wouldn’t it be better for you to look for any other job instead of working as a courtesy lady?”Wendy was extremely ashamed as she replied in a low voice, “Well… Brother-in-Law… to tell you the truth, when my father and elder brother were scheming again
As Charlie looked at Wendy, who was standing in front of him, he did not sympathize with her even though his impression of her had already changed slightly.After that, he said faintly, “Pearl River Point is not too far from here. If you take a taxi, you will be able to get there with the starting price.”Wendy hurriedly replied, “Brother-in-Law… I really wish that I could multiply the money that I have on hand now. Alas, I cannot even bear to take the bus, let alone hail a taxi…”As she spoke, Wendy pointed at the high heels she was wearing as she said, “I was going to walk all the way there so that I can save some money. However, I happened to see you passing by. So, I decided to muster up the courage to come forward and apologize to you. At the same time, I was thinking of asking you if you could just give me a ride there…”In fact, Wendy had a very good impression of Charlie now.Ever since the day before the New Year when many powerful and reputable figures in Aurous Hill had
“You don’t have a cell phone?!”Charlie could not believe his ears when he heard Wendy’s words.These days, even the aunties who set up stalls by the street would also own a smartphone. So, how was it possible for a young and fashionable girl like Wendy to not even own her own cell phone?! This was indeed a bit unbelievable.When Wendy saw the shocked look on Charlie’s face, she felt even more embarrassed. She stuttered as she explained, “Brother-in-Law, I… I… my cell phone had been previously… taken away by Donald’s men…”Wendy lowered her head in shame after she was done speaking.After saying those words, Wendy felt as though she had truly lost all of her face.The entire Wilson family was already living in poverty, and they had nowhere else to go.She could not even afford to get herself a cell phone. So, this was how poor and desolate they really were…As soon as Charlie heard her words, he understood the situation immediately.After Donald had surrendered and pledged his
Wendy hurriedly bowed again and said, “Brother-in-Law, have a safe journey. Pay attention to your safety on the road.”“Okay. I will leave now.”Charlie waved his hand before he stepped on the accelerator of his electric bike as he left in a hurry.Wendy was filled with emotions as she stared at Charlie’s back.At this moment, what she really hoped for the most was not how much money she could make by gaining the favor of a rich heir.Instead, she really hoped that she would be able to sit on the back of Charlie’s electric bike.This was because she felt that the back seat of his electric bike looked really happy, blessed, and peaceful.***Charlie rode his electric bike all the way to Isaac’s hotel.Isaac was already waiting outside the entrance in person.When he saw Charlie riding his electric bike over, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Oh, Young Master! It is truly not befitting for someone of your status to be riding this kind of electric bike anymore! Why didn’t
In fact, Rosalie had already closed the door before Charlie had had time to see Rosalie’s perfect figure and curves.At this time, Rosalie was feeling very embarrassed and impatient. She quickly grabbed a bathrobe before putting it on. After that, she was blushing as she ran back to open the door again.As she faced Charlie, Rosalie’s face was flushed red like the rosy dawn. She said shyly, “I am sorry, Mr. Wade. Just now, I… I opened the door too abruptly…”Although Rosalie was a cruel and vicious martial arts expert, she was still very innocent when it came to emotional feelings and matters. She had never even been tempted by the opposite sex before.Therefore, as she was facing Charlie, she did not look like a martial arts master at all because of the embarrassed look on her face.Charlie was also somewhat embarrassed at this time.Rosalie was just like the feisty young lady, Aurora. This was because both of them received professional training all year round. So, the both of t
