Although Charlie had saved Lady Jenson and her son, he was still grateful to Lady Jenson.This was because she had given him her Phoenixica bracelet without hesitation.Charlie had initially thought that the old lady only knew that the Phoenixica bracelet was inherited from her ancestors and made out of rare material, but she probably did not know how rare and valuable it was.However, after this meeting, Charlie realized that Lady Jenson actually had a clear understanding of the value of the Phoenixica bracelet. Back then, Marcius, who was the Jenson family’s benefactor, had only taken one of the Phoenixica bracelets from Fumiko’s ancestor, kept Fumiko’s ancestor by his side for decades, and even given him two Rejuvenating Pills successively. That was not all, but Marcius had even promised to give Fumiko’s ancestor a chance if he managed to find a way to longevity in the future before he parted ways with him.Although Marcius did not do this just to repay Fumiko’s ancestor for

A middle-aged man in a green shirt then came in with a resounding pace. This man’s clothes and appearance were the same as in the portrait of Marcius, but he looked a little younger than Marcius was depicted in the portrait. Charlie could conclude that this person was Marcius. Marcius paused in front of the three paintings for a long time and then looked at the old self-portrait of Fumiko’s ancestor on the right before he sighed and said, “You’re already gone... Micah, if you could have waited for me for three more days, I would have been able to fulfill my promise to you, then. Now that you’re gone, I should give this opportunity to your son, but I’m extremely disappointed with his words and actions. So, I’m not going to pass on this opportunity to him.”After saying that, he stretched out his hand and tapped on his portrait gently as he murmured, “I’ll leave the memory of this matter behind in this painting. Your descendants will know the reason after your descendants blame me i

Although his family members also knew about the villa, since the upgraded door locks were now all based on facial and fingerprint recognition, he was the only one who could open them so he did not have to worry about his family finding out about it. When Isaac heard that he was going to Champs Elys hot spring villa, he hurriedly said, “I’ll send you there, then!”Charlie shook his head and said, “No need. You’ve worked hard all day, so you should go back and rest first. I can go there myself.”When Isaac saw Charlie’s insistence, he nodded immediately, beckoned his subordinates to give Charlie the key to one of the Rolls-Royce, and said respectfully, “Young Master, please contact me at any time if you need anything.”“Okay.” Charlie took the car key and said to him, “I’ll go there first, then.”After parting ways with Isac, Charlie drove to Champs Elys hot spring villa alone. After arriving at the villa, he put the painting into the safe on the first floor of the villa.Charlie

Marianne was relieved when she heard Shawn’s words. She could not help but mutter, “Dad, why didn’t you tell me in advance that Mr. and Mrs. Carrick are here? That way, I could have prepared some gifts for them in advance. It’s inappropriate for me to visit them empty-handed now...”Shawn smiled and said, “As far as your personality is concerned, if I told you about it, you definitely would not want to go. You would surely say that you’re simply going for an interview and it’s better not to bother others. You would also instruct me not to tell anyone about this. I’m your father, so don’t I know you well enough?”Marianne was speechless for a moment. She felt that what her father had said was reasonable. It was usually difficult for her to get along with her father because of her personality, so if her father had told her about it, they would probably have ended up arguing.So, she said, “Okay, I’ll visit Mr. and Mrs. Carrick first, then.”Shawn said with a smile, “Good girl! Have

Madam Marilyn said modestly, “What I know is just gossip. If ordinary people really want to know this, they can simply pay more attention. I’m really far behind compared to academic elites like you...”With that said, Madam Marilyn added, “If Aurous University recruits you, then as a student with a doctorate from Hong Kong University, you may be able to directly or indirectly bring some student resources from Hong Kong to Aurous University in the future, which is what Aurous University values the most. Based on a combination of these reasons, I dare say that you will certainly be able to pass this interview.”Marianne nodded in realization when she heard this. She had never been away from Hong Kong much, and she did not care much about things that did not concern her, so Marianne had never had much of an understanding of what Madam Marilyn was talking about.Marianne suddenly gained even more confidence after listening to her words. ***Meanwhile, at Scarlet Pinnacle Manor.
