Chapter 666
After the three sons, Jasmine and Reuben walked on stage, knelt in front of Lord Moore, and presented their gifts.Oscar then announced:“The eldest grandson, Reuben Moore, presents a pair of imperial jadeite ornaments, worth 80 million.”“The eldest granddaughter, Jasmine Moore, presents a painting, The Blinding of Samson by Rembrandt, worth 70 million.”After the family finished their rounds, the guests stepped forward one after another, giving gifts.Although the guests’ gifts were not as valuable as the Moore family members’, they were also quite pricey between the range of 10 to 30 million.Next, Donald and Sean stood up. Sean held the gift carefully and walked toward Lord Moore with his father.On his way, Sean shot a scornful look at Charlie.He was about to give Lord Moore a priceless piece of authentic painting from Vermeer, it had to be the most valuable gift among all the guests!He was certain that Charlie’s gift would pale in comparison to his gift, he would know
Chapter 667
In Sean’s opinion, he was convinced that there was nothing Charlie, the deadbeat moocher, could give to Lord Moore that was comparable to Vermeer’s painting!Thus, he concluded that he would win over Charlie big time and also become the winner in the gift-giving round who surprised the guests and impressed Lord Moore the most.After all, in Sean’s view, Charlie was just a worthless loser who had chosen to marry into his wife’s family, it was impossible for him to come out with a decent gift, so no matter what his present was, it couldn’t possibly be on par with the precious painting he had given Lord Moore!Therefore, he sneered, “Grandpa Moore, I heard that Master Wade has been lingering in the feng shui fraud for some time now, he must have accumulated a significant fortune from all the scamming he did. I bet his birthday gift to you must be a precious treasure that is worth hundreds of millions, or maybe even billions of dollars!”Then, he turned his sneer at Charlie, “The paint

Charlie smiled at him with feigned ignorance and retrieved a small wooden box from his pocket.Charlie had bought the wooden box by the street for five dollars. He had bought it because he thought it was inappropriate to put the pill directly into his pocket or wrap it with a napkin.Sean couldn’t conceal his disdain when he saw the wooden box and sneered, “D*mn, what the heck is that? Did you buy that by the street for ten dollars?”Charlie smiled. “You are half right. Yes, I bought it by the street, but it only cost me five dollars instead of ten.”Everyone gaped in shock at Charlie’s remark!Did he even take Lord Moore seriously?How could he come to Lord Moore’s birthday with a five-dollar wooden box?!Even if there was something in the box, it would be some lousy junk, right?He wouldn’t put something valuable inside such a shabby-looking box.Hence, everyone started booing at Charlie.Even Reuben covered his mouth and tutted contemptuously.Sean howled indignantly as i

No one would have imagined that the 80-year-old Lord Moore would actually kneel to Charlie!Supposedly, when someone lived to be 80 years old, his parents and elders might have already passed away. No one, not even God himself, deserved the privilege of getting him to kneel before them.Moreover, Lord Moore was the head of the Moore family! The largest and most prominent family in Aurous Hill!Their 80-year-old family patriarch had literally knelt before a young man in his twenties!This was incredulously extraordinary and bizarre!Sean was equally dumbfounded.What the hell?!Had the old man actually knelt for a piece of enhancement pill?You should’ve said so sooner!I could’ve used the 400 million dollars on the Vermeer’s painting to buy enhancement pills, it would have been enough to cater to your needs until your 200th birthday!I didn’t even ask you to kneel to me, betrothing Jasmine to me was all I asked for!Meanwhile, the Moore family members were all donning differ

Sean thought that the old thing must have lost his mind or someone had knocked him hard on the head, otherwise, why would he kneel and bow to Charlie?!Lord Moore was the most senior among all the attendees today. Even though the Webb family was at a higher level than the Moore family in terms of the social class pyramid, his father’s power and assets were lesser than the Moore family, not to mention, Lord Moore was an elder.As for the guests, many of them were from average and above average families, but they were still worth at least over 100 million.There was only one loser in this hall, and that was Charlie!Yet, Lord Moore chose to kneel before this loser and even bowed his head to him!Why?!What the f*ck did Charlie have that he didn’t?!Why did Lord Moore kneel to Charlie so humbly?!In other words, he would give his granddaughter to this loser, wouldn’t he?!Sean was extremely depressed and infuriated as he thought about it!If he didn’t tarnish Charlie’s influence
Chapter 671
Lord Moore had been very enthusiastic after receiving the Rejuvenating Pill, and he wanted to swallow it the minute he received it.After all, he had seen the magical effect materialize on Anthony after the latter had taken the pill, so he was very worried about damaging it when he held it in his hand.The only way to feel assured was to eat it!Since Charlie had said so, Lord Moore nodded and said gratefully, “Okay, Master Wade, I’ll take it now!”Then, he carefully put the pill into his mouth and swallowed it!As the pill was being digested, he felt that the pill had transformed into a stream of heat that surged into his limbs and veins, warming his body, and every cell in his body was full of vitality. It was as if he had returned to his teenage years, feeling youthful and energetic.Just like Anthony, Lord Moore felt that every part of his body had been nourished by the pill to the point that it was glowing with long-lost youth.Surprisingly, he found that the old wounds and

Charlie was her ideal partner if she ever wanted to marry someone and have children with.But would Charlie fall in love with her?Would Charlie be willing to give up on his current loveless marriage and be with her?Jasmine was a little worried.On the other hand, the rest of the crowd cheered loudly!They were so excited when they saw with their own eyes the exceptional changes that happened to Lord Moore!“How… how is it possible… How did Lord Moore become so young suddenly?!”“Oh my goodness, is this the effect of the Rejuvenating Pill?!”“A pill that can make someone ten years younger! This is a magical pill!”“Master Wade was indeed the true dragon!”“I… I want the pill too…”“Me too… I’m willing to buy it for 10 million!”“One million? You must be kidding! I’ll buy it for 100 million!”“D*mn it! If Master Wade wants to sell the pill, I’ll pay 200 million!”Ear-deafening astonishment and exclamations resonated in the hall!If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes
Chapter 673
No one at the scene would have expected Donald, who was scolding Charlie and pressuring Lord Moore to give him an explanation earlier, to suddenly change so quickly.Even Sean himself was stunned at this time!He blurted out subconsciously as he asked, “Dad! Why are you being so polite towards a casual and useless son-in-law such as him? Don’t forget that he called our family garbage when we were outside just now!”At this time, Donald blurted out, “B*stard! You’d better shut up now!”There were so many things that Donald could not say in front of everyone here.However, he was already roaring in his heart.You b*stard! What would you know?Sean was still young and his body was at its peak as he was still in his twenties. That was the reason why he could sing songs every night, party and drink, go to bed at three o’clock in the morning, wake up at nine o’clock in the morning, or even stay up all night. However, he could not do that anymore!Sean’s current physical state was typ
