“Okay,” Lord Schulz replied. “You have to adjust yourself so as not to focus too much on Rosalie. The Schulz family is in deeper trouble. After your return, we will hold a meeting to discuss solutions for the next phase. If we don’t fill up all that we’ve lost, other families will be eyeing us!”“Alright, I understand!”***At that moment, the Schulz family’s notorious news in Japan spread like wildfire over Eastcliff, even reaching the Wade family, and had become the hot topic.　　Every family was taken aback by the news as no one had expected that the prestigious Schulz family would suffer such tremendous defeat in Japan.　　Despite the news being a nightmare to the Schulz’s family, it was good news to the rest.　　The Schulz’s family had overwhelming influence in Eastcliff. Apart from the Wade family, the rest was definitely no match for the Schulz family. 　　The other families were in high spirits because the severe losses suffered by the Schulz family would narrow the gap with

As for those who were in the same generation as Charlie, they all would normally be greeted as Master and Miss.On the phone, Carmen spoke with a snobbish tone. She opened her mouth and asked, “Isaac, are you in Aurous now?”　　Isaac hurriedly answered respectfully, “Yes, Miss. I’m in Aurous now.”　　Carmen hummed, then continued, “Book a presidential suite at Shangri-la Hotel for me tomorrow. After that, you can arrange for transportation to pick me up from the airport. I will fly over there in the morning.”　　Whenever Carmen traveled, she would usually board a private airplane. So, the departure time was not fixed.　　If she was able to wake up early, then she would depart earlier. Likewise, if she woke up late, then she would depart later.As soon as Isaac finished hearing her words, he asked in surprise, “Miss, you’re coming over to Aurous?! Are there any other preparations that you’d like me to get ready for you?”　　Carmen opened her mouth and asked, “What has Charlie been doi

Charlie laughed and said, “I wanted to give you a surprise!”After he spoke, Claire ran up to him and leaped into his arms.For the past few days when Charlie was in Japan, Claire missed him day and night. 　　Before this, she seldom had this kind of feeling. When Charlie went to Eastcliff, she also missed him but not as much as she did now. 　　Therefore, when she saw Charlie come back, she couldn't hold back and hugged him immediately. 　Charlie never thought that his wife would hug him straight away in front of her parents. He felt both happy and shy too. 　　So, he told Claire, “Darling, you should wait till we’re in our room to hug. After all, your parents are watching us.”　　Claire came to her senses and blushed.　　With shyness and fear, she said, “We just saw from the news that there was a massacre in Japan a few days ago. More than thirty people were reported dead. It’s so terrifying!”　　Charlie was surprised and asked, “Is this on national news?”　　”Yes!” Claire

“Darling, I bought this for you. Open it and see if you like it!”Feeling shocked, Claire asked, “You bought this for me? Darling, it’s your hard-earned money. Normally, you don’t even spend on yourself. But once you’re outside, you always buy things for me…” Elaine, who was standing beside her, quickly said, “Silly girl. Charlie loves you, cares for you, and pampers you. He’s a good man! Look at your dad, this old stingy man—since when has he ever bought me something valuable?”Jacob answered angrily, “You’re in control of the household finances. I have no money, so how could I possibly buy you things?”Elaine quipped, “Nonsense! Despite other husbands having no money too, they would still try their best to give their wives things. What about you? Don’t tell me you’ve never secretly kept some money after so many years? Don’t use having no money as an excuse.” Jacob picked up the suit that Charlie gave him and said, “I won’t quarrel over such matters. I’m going to my room to t

Charlie knew that his wife was a very shy woman. Furthermore, she did not have much experience in this aspect. So, how would she possibly be able to tolerate Elaine’s teasing then?So, Charlie hurriedly said, “Mom, Claire is a very shy person. You should stop teasing her and making fun of her.”Elaine smiled before she said, “Claire, did you see that? Charlie is always thinking of you and looking out for you!”After she spoke, Elaine stretched a little before she said, “I am not going to chat with both of you anymore. I have to go inside and take pictures of my bracelet now. You two should rest earlier too!”As she was speaking, Jacob suddenly walked out of the elevator dressed in his new Boss suit.As soon as he saw the three of them, he hurriedly made a few turns in front of the elevator with a smug look on his face. After that, he smiled as he said, “Look! I still have some foundation, right? This suit is simply tailor-made for me. I am already in my fifties but I did not put o
