Claire could not help but complain when she saw that her mother was not home at all. After that, Claire said, “Dad! Can you please start to control mom occasionally?

However, it was a pity that he did it the wrong way. That was the reason why this filial son was now regarded as a beast by everyone.After two whole days of fermentation, the death of Masao Kobayashi, the chairman of Kobayashi Pharma, had aroused a great deal of attention in Japan.Under the vigorous propaganda launched by Masao’s second son, Jiro, Ichiro suddenly became the chief culprit who had poisoned his own biological father to death in an attempt to take over his father’s role as the chairman of Kobayashi Pharma.At this time, the whole of Japan was scolding Ichiro, for they thought that he was actually the most unfilial son in Japan. People even nicknamed him the shame of Japan!At the same time, Jiro also increased the cash reward for his brother, Ichiro’s head from 1 billion yen to 3 billion yen.He wanted to take over the position of the chairman of Kobayashi Pharma as soon as possible. Therefore, he had no choice but to make sure that his brother died quickly, and he

Jiro really hated Charlie to the core.However, he did not dare to offend Charlie.Therefore, he could only try to bargain with Albert.His tone was also very pious. “Don Albert, could you please convey my message to Mr. Wade? There are only about two or three billion dollars left in Kobayashi Pharma’s bank account, and many of our debtors have not paid us back. We also owe the bank several billion dollars in loan now. We are really under a great deal of pressure!Albert replied, “Mr. Wade has always meant what he says. So, don’t think that you can bargain with Mr. Wade as and when you please!”Jiro begged, “Don Albert, I’m really having a hard time now. Why don’t we do this instead? Tell Mr. Wade to give me two months. I will definitely transfer the money over to him in two months. However, during these two months, he must make sure that my brother does not say anything or show his face in public, let alone return to Japan under any circumstances at all!“Two months?” Albert tho

Albert hurriedly asked, “So, do you want me to kill and get rid of Ichiro now? Should I take a video of the killing for Jiro to see?”Charlie replied, “I want you to hide Ichiro somewhere and then find someone who can make special video effects. I want you to film a headshot of Ichiro and send that video to Jiro after having that person use some special effects to make sure that Jiro will believe that his brother is already dead.”Albert asked in surprise, “Mr. Wade, are you trying to save Ichiro’s life?”Charlie replied, “Yes. I think keeping Ichiro alive will be of great use to us one day. Perhaps I can even use Ichiro to get my hands on Kobayashi Pharma in the future. I will be going too easy on Jiro if I killed Ichiro for him, just for one billion yen.”After that, Charlie spoke again, “Also, you should not think too much about morals or your credibility when it comes to this matter. After all, we don't owe the Japanese anything at all. On the contrary, the more miserable they

Reuben truly could not understand why his grandfather respected Charlie so much.Lord Moore regarded Charlie as God. His reason was similar to Anthony’s reason for respecting Charlie so much. Both of them were already old men in their twilight years. The more they knew about their upcoming destiny, the more they were afraid of it.However, Reuben was not even thirty years old yet, and if anyone told him that he would be able to live for another five years after taking the magical pill, he would easily dismiss it. On the contrary, for an old man in his twilight years, someone telling him that he would be able to live for another five years was a miracle that was truly comparable to God’s hand.Jasmine could more or less understand her grandpa’s psychological thoughts. After all, unlike Reuben, she also owned one of the magical pills given by Charlie. She had been hiding the magical pill in her car, and the only people who knew about the magical medicine was just Charlie and herself.

At this time, Jasmine asked, “Grandpa, should we bring any gifts along with us?”Lord Moore replied, “Someone gave me a piece of cold jade a few years ago. It has the effect of calming the mind and giving peace to the owner. I want you to give it to Donald and tell him that it is for his son. Even though it might only have a small effect, it is better than nothing at all.”Jasmine nodded before she said, “Okay, grandpa. I understand.”Just then, Lord Moore stood up before he said, “Jasmine, I want you to come with me.”“Okay, grandpa.” Jasmine stood up without any hesitation and hurriedly followed her grandfather into his study room.Upon entering the study room, Lord Moore sat down on his mahogany chair before he asked Jasmine, “Jasmine, I want to ask you whether you have made any progress with Mr. Wade recently?”Jasmine blushed as soon as she heard her grandfather’s words. “Grandpa, I… I… that…”Lord Moore smiled when he saw Jasmine’s flustered reaction. “Young girl, why are
Chapter 537
Very soon, Reuben drove Jasmine out of the house, and they headed straight to the Castle Peak Psychiatric Hospital in the suburb.In the Castle Peak Psychiatric Hospital, the nurses had just fed Kian, who was going crazy at this point.Kian finally regained his consciousness after they fed him, wiped his mouth, rinsed his mouth, and washed his stomach for him. Kian had a very satisfied expression on his face as he lay on the hospital bed with his hands and feet tied up.The few nurses resisted the urge to vomit as they walked out from the intensive care unit to the family resting room outside with a basin filled with the filth that they had just washed out of Kian’s stomach.At this time, Kian’s father, Donald, and his brother, Sean, were sitting on the sofa with no expression on their faces.After coming out of the intensive care unit, one of the nurses greeted them respectfully. “Mr. Webb and junior Mr. Webb, the patient has already regained consciousness.”Donald asked coldly,

Kian was lying on his bed with tears in his eyes as he looked out the window silently. He could smell the strong stench on his breath whenever he breathed, and he felt very disgusted with himself.“Kian.”When he saw the decadent and desolate expression on his son’s face, Donald could not help but feel distressed.Kian did not look at him but instead continued to stare out the window as he choked and said, “Dad, why don’t you just let me die? I am really on the verge of collapse because I have to do something so disgusting every hour of the day…”Donald hurriedly stepped forward as he held his son’s hand and said, “My good son, you have to remember that it is always better for you to live than to die!”Kian burst into tears before he said, “But, who can live an even more miserable life than mine? If I have to continue living like this for the rest of my life, I would rather be dead now…”Donald felt very upset, and he said seriously, “Kian, don’t worry. Dad will definitely heal y
