Charlie looked at the time on his watch and he felt that it was not that late anyway. Moreover, he had not had any alcohol in a really long time. Therefore, he nodded before he said, “Alright then. You can choose the place!”Jasmine was overjoyed at this time and she hurriedly replied, “I know of a great bar!”After that, Jasmine stepped on the accelerator as she drove towards the city center.…Jasmine drove them downtown to a bar named Sunny.Jasmine stopped her car in front of the entrance of the bar before she passed her car keys over to the young boy working as the valet. After that, she quickly led Charlie into the bar.As soon as the waiter saw her, he greeted her in a respectful manner, “Good evening, Miss Moore! Would you like to go to your usual spot today?”Jasmine nodded and the other party quickly replied, “Please come with me.”There was a dance floor on the first floor of the bar and the atmosphere was pretty lively because there was a DJ on the scene. At this ti

Jasmine smiled after listening to Charlie’s special request. After that, she said, “Okay, let’s do that! Since this is the first glass of wine, I’ll start first!”After that, Jasmine cleared her throat before she smiled sweetly and said, “This first glass of wine is to thank you for saving my grandfather today! I’d also like to thank you for doing me this big favor today!”Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, “Okay, then let’s drink this glass of red wine immediately!”After he was done speaking, Charlie lifted his wine glass before he gently touched it against the wine glass in Jasmine’s hand. After that, he finished the entire glass of red wine in one go.At this time, Jasmine also finished her entire glass of red wine immediately. After that, she smiled before she asked, “Mr. Wade, why don’t you tell me why we should be drinking this second glass of red wine?”“Okay,” Charlie smiled. “This second glass of red wine is to celebrate fate and destiny! Even though there are so many

At this time, Charlie quickly asked out of curiosity, “What do you mean?”Jasmine replied in a serious manner, “Mr. Wade, you look like a very simple and casual person but you’re actually very skillful and capable. However, despite being very capable, you’re not arrogant at all. After getting to know you better, I realize that you won’t try to show off your skills or abilities but if anyone touches your limit or challenges you, you won’t hesitate to show them what you are capable of. Moreover, the methods that you use to counter-attack or defend yourself is usually very unpredictable and quite unlike how an ordinary person would react.”After that, Jasmine continued speaking, “Most importantly, I really don’t understand why you’d choose to become a stay-home son-in-law of the Wilson family when you’re actually so capable and talented. The Wilson family is just a regular and second or probably third-rate family. I think you can definitely do much better because you have so much potent

Charlie laughed helplessly after hearing Jasmine’s words. “It seems as though you do not want to be bound to the rules of the Moore family.” Jasmine nodded before she said, “I really do not want to be bound by the rules of the Moore family but I have no other way out of this.”“Why” Charlie asked in a serious manner. “I think your grandfather might change his mind after this near-death experience because of his critical illness. Furthermore, you’re the reason his life was saved and he’s able to live healthily for a few more years. If he’s really grateful towards you, you can take advantage of this opportunity to ask him for the freedom to love and decide on the man you’d like to be married to. I believe he’ll definitely give you the freedom to choose your own husband.”Jasmine smiled bitterly and she shook her head before she said, “That’s impossible. Even if Grandpa really loves me and feels bad for me, he wouldn’t dare agree to that.”“Why?” Charlie asked with a puzzled expressi

Who would have known that Lady Wilson was just a believer in Buddhism on the surface, but she was actually an extremely greedy and shameless person within!At that time, he would have been willing to kneel down in front of anyone if that person offered to give him one million dollars.No one can resist the attraction of money when they are in need.Those who are able to really treat money as dirt are those people who have more than enough money to spend.What was ten or twenty million dollars to Charlie now? He had tens of billions of dollars in his bank account and Emgrand Group made tens of billions of dollars in profits every year. He did not know what else he could spend his money on anymore.Therefore, what was the point of him accepting the twenty million dollars from them now? He would rather not take the money, but instead allow them to pay homage to him and to treat him as their benefactor just so they would show him more respect in the future.That was what he really wa

Jasmine returned to the Moore family mansion after sending Charlie home that night.Lord Moore did not listen to Charlie’s instructions to rest in bed. Instead, he was sitting in the living room at this time as he spoke to Jasmine’s father and uncle who were reporting the entire family situation to Lord Moore at this time.As soon as he saw Jasmine arriving back at the Moore family mansion, Lord Moore waved his hand before he said, “Jasmine! I’ve been waiting for you to come home!”“Grandpa!” Jasmine replied in a respectful manner before she asked, “Why are you waiting for me?”At this time, Lord Moore replied, “You were the one who invited Mr. Wade here today, weren’t you? Can you give me a detailed account of how you met him?”“Okay, Grandpa!”Jasmine hurriedly explained herself. “Mr. Wade and I met by chance at Vintage Deluxe. At that time, Mr. Wade was with his father-in-law…”“Father-in-law?” Lord Moore asked as he frowned immediately. “Mr. Wade is already married?”“Yes.”
Chapter 254
Jasmine hurriedly replied, “Grandpa, please tell me what you want me to do!”Lord Moore suddenly said, “I want you to make Mr. Wade the son-in-law of the Moore family!”“What?” Everyone present in the living room, including Jasmine, could only stare at Lord Moore in shock.At this time, Jasmine felt a burst of excitement in her heart.However, she was still very cautious and she said, “Grandpa, Mr. Wade…is already married.”“So what?” the old man replied in a firm manner. “I don’t care if he’s already married or if he has many wives or mistresses. Even if he has a lot of children, we’ll have to win him over! I want to have a son-in-law like him. If he is the son-in-law of the Moore family, then the Moore family business will definitely increase exponentially and we’ll also be able to rise up the ranks among the other powerful and prestigious families. The Moore family will finally have the opportunity to become one of the most powerful families in the country!”Jasmine hesitated

Claire was very puzzled when she heard her mother persuading her to return to work for Wilson Group again. Therefore, she could only ask her mother, “Mom, what kind of ecstasy did Grandma feed you? Why are you always forcing me to go back to work for Wilson Group?”Elaine was very anxious at this time and she quickly replied, “If you work for Wilson Group, you’ll be getting a fixed annual salary. Isn’t that better than starting your own business? What if you lose all of your money because you chose to start your own business? What should your father and I do, then?”Claire replied in a firm manner, “Mom, stop trying to force me! I’m never going to return to work for Wilson Group. Even if I have to beg for food on the streets, I would never return to work for Wilson Group in this lifetime! I might have to beg for food but I’ll never lose my own pride or dignity!”Elaine glared at Claire before she said, “Are you doing all just to preserve your own pride or dignity?”After Elaine was
