Charlie listened in amazement and couldn't help but ask her, “Back in Northern Europe, you had an old man accompanying you. You referred to him as ‘grandfather’ in front of me, but was he actually another orphan you raised?”Vera smiled faintly and said, “The old man you mentioned is called Mr. Raven, and he is the last abandoned infant I adopted in Eastcliff after the July 7th incident just before heading to the United States.”After pausing for a moment, Vera continued, “In fact, the majority of such children would establish businesses themselves with my assistance after reaching their twenties. Some assets might be entrusted to them for management purposes, but it's essentially a gift from me. In these more than two hundred years, I have given away countless fortunes.”“Only a very small portion, such as Mr. Raven, who has deep affection, will willingly stay by my side. I will keep them by my side as well. After all, being just a woman and lacking self-defense skills, when I’m on

When Vera heard Charlie’s words, she exclaimed, “A woman? Young Master, do you remember what that woman looked like?”Charlie furrowed his brows, recalling the brief glance he had, and said, “I feel that the woman appeared to be in her thirties, and she has a pretty decent appearance.”Vera nodded gently and said, “That should be Miss Dijo, one of the four great earls of the Qing Eliminating Society!”Charlie asked in surprise, “You know about the four great earls?” “I know a little.” Vera replied, “Although only Fleur has survived to this day in the Qing Eliminating Society, there are still descendants of my father's former subordinates within the organization. Due to the special poison concocted by Fleur, they are bound to serve her through generations. However, they are aware that I am still alive and have been trying to inform me in every possible way. Therefore, I still have some understanding of the internal situation of the Qing Eliminating Society.”“Although the four gre

Albert was momentarily bewildered when he heard Charlie’s voice. His mind couldn't snap back to reality immediately. He just stared blankly at the sky, muttering, “Oh, my… Am I dreaming? Is God really this miraculous?”Charlie, who was on the other end of the phone, asked, “Albert, what are you muttering to yourself?” Only then did Albert snap out of it, asking in astonishment, “Master… Master Wade?! Is it really you, or am I hallucinating?!”As soon as Albert spoke, everyone around him had countless questions in their minds. They questioned him, demanding to know if the call was really from Charlie. Charlie asked Albert again, “You can't recognize my voice anymore?”It was then that Albert confirmed that the person who was talking to him on the other end of the line was actually Charlie. Albert instantly burst into tears of joy, asking, “Master Wade, where are you?! We've been searching the valley for nearly an hour and still haven't found you. We were getting so worried…”C

As Charlie flew with Vera toward Champs Elys hot spring villa, Merlin, Isaac, Albert, and others heaved a sigh of relief, stopped their search, and headed back to Champs Elys hot spring villa ahead of time.Merlin knew that the Ackers were worried about Charlie’s safety, so he hurried back to the villa as soon as he got off the plane. The Acker family members were anxiously waiting in the living room, hoping that Merlin would bring back good news. After all, Charlie was of great significance to the Ackers and had been a great concern for them for twenty years. Furthermore, Charlie’s other identity was actually the benefactor who once saved the Ackers, which further elevated Charlie’s status in the eyes of the Acker family members. When they saw Merlin walking in briskly, the Acker family members instantly stood up and looked at him eagerly. Lady Acker subconsciously walked toward him and murmured, “Merlin, have you found Charlie’s whereabouts?”Merlin smiled and said, “Lady Acker

Vera subconsciously said, “That’s different…”Charlie asked her, “How is it different? You can accept it when you call me Charlie, but you can't accept it now that you’re addressing me as ‘Young Master’?”Vera replied awkwardly, “I… I didn't mean that… I just feel that these pills are too precious. The reason I accepted the remaining part of the pill before this was because I was afraid that you would encounter danger one day. In that case, I could keep the remaining part of the pill for emergency use. Now that you’re safe and sound, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to accept any pills from you anymore, Young Master.”Charlie said unequivocally, “Then you'd better adjust your perspective as soon as possible and tell yourself that there's nothing inappropriate about it.”With that said, Charlie stuffed the pill into her hand directly. After that, he did not wait for her response and took out another Rejuvenating Pill, handed it to her again, and said, “This is a Rejuvenating Pill.
