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

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

Most importantly, when Ten Thousand Armies had stormed Mount Wintry, the Goldings knew the Wades were helpless, but they still stood firm by their side regardless.That loyalty was worth more than its weight in gold.However, Jeremiah still understood that he couldn't make the decisions for Charlie, or he would have made his grandson marry Quinn already.As for the Goldings, they felt a little embarrassed to keep harping about marriage when they had just received Charlie's Rejuvenation Pill.That afforded Charlie much breathing space in turn, and a lot less stress.Meanwhile, Carmen was preparing the tea set and brewing a premium tea called Beautiful Golden Eyebrows for everyone, while everyone chatted and somehow avoided the topic of marriage.After all, Jeremiah cared about the fight against the Qing Eliminating Society as much as Charlie's marriage.When he asked, Charlie gave him a quick rundown and soon remembered about Stephen Thompson. "Do you have any news on Stephen?"
Chapter 7200
Jeremiah and Carmen never felt cold despite the pelting winds, only the misery of being ostracized.They were certainly a far cry compared to Yule and Rachel's radiant faces, but they would never hold any grief against Charlie.After all, it was all their own damned fault.Inviting everyone inside, Jeremiah quickly told Carmen, "Go, make some tea for our guests. I'd like to have a little teatime with Yule and Charlie."Having lost her heiress schtick, Carmen nodded, smiling humbly and respectfully—just like a professional waitress. "Just wait for a while. I'll get it right away."Even as she got to work, she was afraid to ask for the Rejuvenation Pill, while yearning for it at the same time.The idea was that if she properly humbled herself to Charlie and his impression of her improved, wouldn't he find some goodness in his heart to give her half?On the other hand, Rachel raised a brow.Carmen was Charlie's aunt, after all, and such menial work simply seemed inappropriate.Tu

Jeremiah himself had been dreaming of taking a Rejuvenation Pill, but he had only gotten half of it at an auction despite staying on his best behavior around Charlie for so long.And he was already so old!On the other hand, Yule and Rachel were only in their fifties. What right did they have to get a full pill each?It was so unfair and unnecessary! It was as though he were a starving man, but Charlie only made sure his stomach was half full.On the other hand, Yule and Rachel never had to go hungry, yet Charlie stuffed them silly anyway!The thought left him moody, but he would never dare let it show in front of Charlie, instead smiling and greeting Yule and Rachel. "Oh, you kids really are in such good health—you're more like teenagers than a middle-aged couple."Carmen was envious too, hurrying to smile at Rachel, "Come, Rachel—what's your secret? You have to share it with me… I've spent a lot on health cosmetics myself, but it's a far cry from the results you're getting."
Chapter 7198
In the afternoon, Charlie and Quinn's family arrived at the Wades' residence.Carmen, Charlie's aunt, had been working hard the whole day for dinner.Ever since Charlie had defeated Porter Waldron on Mount Wintry, Carmen had constantly been trying to mend things with her nephew.That was why she worked extra hard today, as today was the perfect opportunity to show that she had turned over a new leaf.She was all the more prouder as she was the only one of Jeremiah's children invited to dinner.If she solidified her status amongst the rest of her siblings, who knew if Charlie would afford her more respect and resources.After all, Charlie had made it very clear that he was totally disappointed in his uncles and cousins, and it presented Carmen with an opportunity to establish herself.For Jeremiah's part, he was used to spoiling his daughter.While he was no longer the head of the family, he was still keen to help Carmen rise.Still using the rented MPV, Charlie arrived with Qu
