Sean was extremely infuriated when he heard Charlie insulting his family, so he turned and rushed down the stairs to confront Charlie.Meanwhile, Jasmine glared at Cain and his swollen face in disdain and gestured for her bodyguards.She pointed at Cain when the bodyguards arrived and demanded, “Kick this guy out! Break his legs if he dares to come in again!”“Yes, Ma’am!”The bodyguards marched forward, grabbed Cain, and was about to drag him out of the yard when a chilly voice echoed from the house.“How dare you! Let him go!”With his hands behind his back, Sean walked down the stairs slowly, indifference and anger imprinted on his face.Initially, he had wanted Cain to cause a scene and humiliate Charlie in order to drag him down, making him look bad in front of Jasmine.However, he did not expect that Charlie would be so arrogant. He had slapped Cain twice on his face without any concern to the Webb family!This was not the worst humiliation yet!The worst thing Charlie

Sean sneered in disdain. “Jasmine, don’t say I didn’t warn you. This guy insulted the Webb family and bit our dog. Even if Lord Moore comes to talk it out, we won’t let him off so easily!”Then, he pointed at Cain and shouted to Charlie, “I’ll forgive you temporarily if you kneel before my dog and apologize, and then kneel before me and apologize again!”Cain was over the moon when he heard it. He would wag his tail if he had one!He was thankful that Sean had stood up for him after he had been slapped twice! So, while covering his swollen cheek, he strode to Charlie and said arrogantly, “You heard him, right? Kneel before me right now!!”Charlie snorted contemptuously, and then, in a split second, he stretched his arm out, grabbed Cain’s neck, and lifted him upward!Sean watched the scene with wide eyes, completely dumbfounded!Never did he expect that Charlie could lift a 150-pound man with one arm, his feet suspended off the ground!Cain could only feel a strong force strangl

The mockery and laughter made Sean see red, and he clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles popped continuously!He glared at Charlie and exclaimed, “Dude, don’t say that I never gave you a chance to repent, you did this to yourself! My family will not let you go, you’ll never see tomorrow’s sun rise!”Before Charlie could say anything, Jasmine shouted, “Sean Webb, how dare you!”Sean huffed coldly, “Why not?! Did you think I would let my family be insulted in a shabby town like Aurous Hill just like that? Let me tell you! Everyone in Aurous Hill must bow to the majestic Webb family!”Jasmine’s face darkened in dismay, and she demanded, “Sean, you are not welcome here. Please get out!”“What? You want to kick me out?!” Sean looked at Jasmine, shocked, and scornful. “You want to kick me out because of this deadbeat loser?!”Jasmine said firmly, “Yes! I’ll say it again, please get out!”At this moment, Reuben, Jasmine’s cousin, came out of nowhere and hurriedly persuaded th

Could it be…Could it be…Could it be the Rejuvenating Pill that Anthony had taken?!Lord Moore had been dreaming of getting a chance for Charlie to bless him with one of the Rejuvenating Pills so that he could indulge in the intense feeling of going back in time, borrowing more time to stay alive and helping the family go further.However, if there was one thing he had learned throughout his long life, it was that chances were hard to come by!He dared not go to Charlie for the pill for fear that Charlie would find him repulsive, thus, he could only wait patiently for the right moment to come.Initially, he thought that this rare chance would only come by when Jasmine and Charlie had made substantial progress in terms of their relationship.But now, from the way Charlie put it, he felt as though Charlie might truly have prepared the pill as a birthday gift for him.He wasn’t sure and did not dare to ask him directly, so, he bowed at Charlie as he suppressed the excitement and

In Lord Moore’s opinion, Charlie had always been the best candidate for the son-in-law of the Moore family.With his eighty years of life experience, he knew at a glance that Charlie was extraordinary!Charlie was the first man he recognized to possess powerful abilities that were comparable to a true dragon on earth!In addition to the wonderful effects of the Rejuvenating Pill, he was more convinced of Charlie’s ability and wanted to lean on him.Establishing a good relationship with the Webb family was nothing more than diversifying more routes to make even more money for the family.However, the Moore family was considered rich even though they were not as wealthy as the Webb family.There was not much difference between a net worth of 100 billion dollars or 200 billion dollars, it only equaled one thing—they already owned more money than they could spend.Moreover, for Lord Moore, money was no longer important. Lifespan and health were the most important of all!Therefore,

Jasmine was the best candidate as his son’s wife!Donald was a little hesitant and indecisive when he thought of it.Following Donald’s gloomy silence, the atmosphere turned into an awkward reticence.Reuben secretly punched his knuckles in dismay when he witnessed this awkward scene.If both families fought and generated an irreversible crack or in the worst-case scenario, turned against each other, it would undoubtedly be a massive blow to the Moore family!More importantly, Jasmine would be even more unlikely to marry Sean!If Jasmine didn’t marry him, his position as the future heir would be unstable!Even if he was appointed as the head of the family, Jasmine might have a part in the family’s inheritance!He was determined to not let Jasmine stay with the Moore family, and so, he would definitely oppose strongly for Jasmine to marry Charlie and let him live in their house!Therefore, he hurriedly stood up to lighten the mood and said, “Hey, Uncle Webb, Sean, today is my g

The crowd started to walk toward the banquet hall where the birthday celebration was about to begin.Lord Moore exchanged a few words with Charlie and went to sit at the main seat.Sitting next to him was his eldest son, third son, and fourth son.Among the second-generation heirs of the Moore family, Reuben’s father was the eldest son, and Jasmine’s father was the second son, but he had died young, hence, Jasmine was the only one left in this line.As for the family of the third and fourth sons, they were relatively young and their children were still in the teenage or elementary school age, thus, they were not considered in the inheritance competition.The rest of the guests sat down at their assigned tables.Charlie sat with the Quinton family, the White family, Albert, and so on.Donald and Sean were sitting with a few local families. Some of them were families who were busy buttering them up, and they surrounded the Webb family’s father and son, continuously flattering them
Chapter 664
At this moment, he received a text from Jasmine: [Master Wade, I hope you don’t take what happened earlier personally. With the Moore family around, the Webb family will not be too presumptuous.]Charlie smiled and replied: [Of course, I don’t mind, they are nothing but a bunch of circus clowns.]Meanwhile, Donald and Sean were sitting in the VIP seats on the other side.Sean looked at Jasmine, then at Charlie, and saw that both of them were looking at their phones. When she put it down, he picked it up, and when he put it down, she picked it up again. It was obvious that they were exchanging texts.As he watched their exchange, he was even more agitated. He had added Jasmine as his Facebook friend, but she had set her profile as private!In fact, she rarely responded whenever he chatted with her.However, as he watched the frequency of her chatting with Charlie now, she was so acute and responsive, almost as though she was afraid to miss his message for even a second. She even h
