Chapter 306
The entire building started to get very lively and chaotic out of sudden. A simple opening ceremony had created such an extravagant scene that even involved a helicopter!Everyone poked their heads to look at the few people standing in front of the office.Claire was in a daze. She had indeed invited some people, but they were not very close to her and she didn’t know anyone who could afford a helicopter.Someone in the crowd exclaimed, “Isn’t that flower basket the legendary Tiffany limited edition? I heard that one flower basket costs more than one million dollars!”“Wow, look at all those flowers! I don’t think I’ve ever seen them before, they’re so beautiful!”“These are Dutch tulips! The exclusive Dutch tulips are very expensive, a single bulb can cost anywhere from thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars! And there’s even Blue Enchantress Hydrangeas and Juliet roses…wow, these are all rare flowers! You can’t cultivate them here in our country, they can only be airlift
Chapter 307
A passage appeared immediately as the crowd of onlookers made way and stood to the side as if there were invisible barriers.Doris and Jasmine, two charming belles who donned very formal and elegant dresses with smiles on their faces, walking side by side from outside towards the door.Behind them were Zeke White along with Kevin and Gerald, Graham Quinton along with Aurora and Adam, and Anthony Simmons and his granddaughter Xyla. They walked in a group like a team of Avengers.Albert Rhodes walked behind the pack.Wendy’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief as she stared at the scene.These people were all prominent figures in Aurous Hill that rarely appeared in public places, but they gathered here to congratulate Claire, which made her envious and agitated!She was always on her high horse previously with her background as the daughter of a wealthy family and one of the most outstanding young people in the city. She was pretty and attractive, tall and slim, and she was regarde

Sure enough, they were here because of Charlie…Upon hearing that, Claire took a peek at Charlie, who was greeting the other guests, and somehow, a tinge of jealousy slowly arose inside her…She did not expect that the distinguished daughter of the Moore family would respect her husband so much. He was full of mystery right now.Then, Doris approached them, shook hands with Claire, and said, “Congratulations, Mrs. Wade. Emgrand Group has several projects that are awaiting your discussion!”“Seriously?!” Claire exclaimed in shock.Previously, the sixty million dollar contract with Emgrand Group was enough to make the whole Wilson family excited and thrilled. She would be on cloud nine if she could get a six million dollar contract from them!Doris smiled and answered, “Of course, Mrs. Wade. We now have a total of nearly three hundred million dollars in interior design and renovation projects. We’ll have the contract ready right away if you can accept and manage it!”The Wilson fa

Wendy was feeling so sad and hurt right then.She had invested all her hopes and dreams of a beautiful and happy life on Gerald alone, but he pushed her into the abyss of misery with his own hands!Not only did he dump her after messing up her feelings but he even showed such strong dislike and disgust towards her in front of so many people! It was totally unacceptable! Her wrath of fury nearly exploded right there and then!Gerald was unusually calm and emotionless at her wailing and accusation. He said coldly, “It’s normal to fall in love and break up, what has it to do with respect? Please stop pestering me.”Charlie walked towards them as he assumed Wendy was about to cause a scene.Blood drained from Gerald’s face as Charlie came at them and quickly explained, for fear that Charlie would dismiss him for this situation. “Master Wade, please calm down. It was this shameless b*tch who jumped at me and threw a tantrum…”Wendy glared at the exchange in shock. Gerald, who was qu

Gerald was fully aware that he had nearly offended Master Wade because he was deceived and brainwashed by these fools. Fortunately, Master Wade was the bigger person and forgave his wrongdoings. Otherwise, he would have brought disastrous harm to his entire White family.Now, this shameless Wendy had the nerve to attempt reconciling with him?!It was like pushing him back into the fire pit!He shoved Wendy away and kicked her in the stomach as she fell to the floor and growled, “Wendy Wilson! From now on, get the hell away from me! If you come at me again, I swear to God I’m going to kill you!”Wendy sat on the floor in a trance as if she had been struck by lightning.Looking back at Gerald’s face in a furious grimace, she found it so strange and unfamiliar. He didn’t look like the man who was once in love with her at all.Although Claire was a little agitated by Wendy, they were cousins, after all. She couldn’t bear seeing her being insulted like this, so she said to Gerald, “Mr

Christopher was trembling in fright as Albert growled at him.He had no doubt about Albert’s remarks. As someone who was regarded as the king of the underworld and had ruled the underworld for many years, killing two people was a piece of cake for him.He looked desperately at the two brawny men who were dragging Wendy and went up to Claire to ask for help. “Claire, could you please talk to them? She’s your cousin, how could you just watch her being taken away?”Claire pursed her lips and said to the brawny men, “Please stop, she was confused…she didn’t mean to hurt me…”Claire found Wendy irritating, but they were cousins, after all. She couldn’t bear seeing her being beaten by these men.Albert looked back at Charlie and waited for his orders.Charlie smiled and said, “Why are you looking at me? Listen to what my wife says, then…”Albert ordered his men, “Since Mrs. Wade has stated her view, let them go!”Charlie nodded and turned his gaze at Lady Wilson. “See? I told you, yo

Claire said nervously, “Oh, no, I can’t make you do that…”Charlie took her hand and said with a gentle smile, “Dear, since Miss Young would like to offer her help, just accept her kindness as a form of respect.”“Huh, it’s not that I don’t want to accept her offer, but that’s too much help…”Charlie took the check from Bobby and put it in Claire’s hand. “Since Miss Young said that it’s free, keep the money. Emgrand Group is a large company with a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars, they won’t mind your menial rent. Besides, you’ll have projects and collaborations with them in the future. Let’s not make everything so formal and rigid.”Claire was a little moved when she listened and pondered upon Charlie’s remarks.He was right. Emgrand Group was the largest company in Aurous Hill and the company alone was comparable in scale to the entire Moore family. If she made things complicated with Doris Young because of the hundred and eighty grand check, it might probably make D

“What?!” Claire shrieked in panic. “How’s Dad? Where are you now?”Elaine’s trembling voice echoed with a mixture of shock and sobbing. “We’re at Silverwing Hospital. Your dad was unconscious after the accident, come here quick!”Never did Claire expect to receive such bad news when she was celebrating the grand opening with joy…She cried into the phone, “Okay, I’ll go there right now!”Charlie heard the conversation clearly and realized the seriousness of the matter. He turned to the guests and said, “I’m sorry guys, Claire and I have to leave immediately. Please make yourself comfortable here!”Under normal circumstances, it would be rude for the host to leave the guests aside, but since these people were Charlie’s fans, they didn’t mind it.Hence, Charlie drove his wife straight to the hospital.After he parked the car at the parking spot, they quickly went straight to the ICU. They pushed the ward door open and saw Jacob lying on the bed with his eyes closed tightly. He w
