Charlie shook his head and said quietly, "No, I just need a butter knife."Carmen nodded and took out a silver butter knife from the tray, and as Charlie accepted it, he also took out a Rejuvenation Pill from his pocket.While Jeremiah was dumbfounded when he saw that, Carmen didn't react as she couldn't recognize it.After all, she had never seen one, let alone taken any.As such, even as Jeremiah's heart pounded and threatened to leap out of his throat, Charlie sliced the Rejuvenation Pill in two, down the center.Even as the fresh herbal scent bombarded Jeremiah's nose, Charlie passed it to him and said, "I'm grateful that you appointed me as head of the family. I may not have time to keep you company, but don't worry—whatever happens, and as long as you're on my side, I will respect you and take good care of you."Jeremiah was shaking with excitement.Never could he have expected that he would be given a Rejuvenation Pill—even if it was just half!Unable to hide his delight

Jeremiah nodded, "You are the head of the Wade family, Charlie. We will only do as you say."It definitely was the case for Jeremiah himself, as he definitely wouldn't argue—not when he had already given up his place as head of the family to Charlie.Moreover, he knew all too well that his family was insignificant to Charlie now, considering that just one of Charlie's Rejuvenation Pills was worth half the country's real estate.Meanwhile, Carmen had returned quickly after taking a moment to fix her makeup and calm herself, and she refilled everyone's tea in silence.Jeremiah then told her, "Carmen, Charlie will be visiting Mount Wintry soon to make the family shape up."Carmen was surprised. Charlie always visited Mount Wintry every year anyway, so why would he do something else on the same day again?However, she wouldn't dare question Charlie and instead nodded solemnly. "That is reasonable. They've gone way out of line over the years, and there's none of the inclination to uni
Chapter 7205
Basically, Curtis had chosen to wage an open war against the Rothschilds because he didn't want his family to suffer, while also anticipating that they would disown him after making enemies against such a terrible entity.It's like person A knowing one's lover would cheat, but willingly allowing them the chance to do it and leave person A so that the lover wouldn't have to stay out of obligation.Even in death, Curtis still cared for his own family—for his father, who didn't care what happened to him, and for his siblings who just wanted him gone.Yule, aware of what had happened back then, had a fair idea of what was on Charlie's mind, too.Sighing, he said earnestly, "Charlie, there are lives that are meant to be lived for oneself. It was your father's duty to take care of his family and your mother's. In that sense, I think he more than succeeded."Charlie nodded quietly in agreement.He had met many other children at the orphanage, some of whom were born ill.Even though the

Even now, Charlie didn't think too highly of Carmen.As a child, all he remembered was how Carmen had constantly hounded his parents before they had left town.And when he met Carmen again years later, she had just had a huge fight with Elaine.Things had only gotten worse since, and Charlie had even planned to keep her in Cliffcouls for at least a couple of years and see what happens.That was why he wasn't concerned with Jeremiah's words.Seeing his indifference, Jeremiah knew he was still unhappy with Carmen.Hence, before she returned, he said seriously, "There are many things where you only see one side, Charlie. Your aunt used to be close with both your mother and father… but the entire family turned against your parents, and I myself didn't try to defend them either. To be honest, she abused your parents out of self-preservation."Pausing, he sighed. "It was a time of crisis where everyone was just trying to survive—just like on Mount Wintry. That's why they weren't stand
Chapter 7203
And when Curtis had gotten married, Ashley had treated Carmen like a sister.She was proud, but she was a good girl around Ashley and Curtis, never once being rude or overstepping.She worshiped both of them, but was also codependent on them. As the couple were both prodigies in their own right, she was convinced that they would take good care of her for her whole life… only for them to die young.The Wade family fell and never rose again ever since, and Jeremiah had been too busy mourning to worry about her. And as she had always been distant from Clayton, she was left marginalized by her own family.Even Carmen's husband, who had scored some degree of success thanks to Curtis' help, found opportunities denied after Curtis death. After years of mediocrity, even Carmen lost patience with him.And yet, at this moment, Carmen suddenly realized that her existence was even more tragic.Her brothers remained distant, considering her insignificant. Her father still cared, but he was
Chapter 7202
Meanwhile, Carmen, who was always talkative and readily expressed her opinions, was silent as she poured tea for everyone.Her eyes were darting toward Rachel frequently, the envy in her heart growing the more she peeked.Just seeing Rachel's appearance, style, and the healthy complexion on those cheeks of hers left Carmen feeling ugly, unable to look up at all.As she brewed tea, she noticed that her own hands were getting dry and wrinkled from age.Naturally, she was always consistently taking good care of her own skin, but skin and complexion simply weren't resistant to the passage of time. Even with all the moisturizers and other beauty products, Carmen's skin quality was aging significantly.As such, she felt all the more inferior as she watched Rachel raise her teacup with a pair of hands that were fair and blemish-free like a teenager's. On the other hand, Rachel was curious about Carmen.She had always been labeled as strong-willed and self-centered, and she was known t

Waiting for the shameless Wilson family members going to steal Charlie's fruits and vegetables, then he will spring into action and deal with them accordingly
Nannsnansnsnsn
from 1099-1101 its empty.. how can i be able to follow reading the story.. its like you have taken something very important
I’ve spent over $100 on this book but Charlie still hasn’t got laid yet.. come on!!
Too expensive
This book is extremely drawn out. A lot of extra words and short chapters to make it expensive
yo if Charlie doesn't get some from this then idk if he ever will
I really like this book; don’t get me wrong, but come on! When is Charlie and Clair going to become a REAL married couple, and have kids?
This book is great, but does it really have to be this expensive? I've already spent a hundred dollars on this book and it's no where near the climax of the story..let alone the conclusion..
