An angel investor meant merely investing while disregarding the operation.These people could do whatever they wanted as long as the money was in place. They had a lot of things going on at their end, so you could just inform them if you didn’t have enough money as long as you did not bother them.This was what Josie really could not accept and felt most desperate about.However, when she heard from Christian that Merlin’s disappearance for so many days was due to some unexpected events, she burst into tears immediately and could not help but say to Christian, “Christian, to tell you some heartfelt words, if I didn’t still have some feelings for that b*stard, Merlin, I would have already filed for a divorce to the court on the grounds of de facto separation! After all, it’s easy to get divorced in the United States. We’ve been separated for years, so it’d be easy for us to get divorced in any state!”Having said that, she took out her handkerchief, blew her nose, and said in despai
Merlin did not expect that his wife, who had always been gentle, would react so fiercely. In the past, his wife would also have conflicts with him, but that was basically whining, sulking, and just a few days of cold war, at most.This was the first time she was yelling and scolding him so intensely. However, Merlin also knew that the reason why his wife had lost her composure was because she had been too worried about him during this period of time, so he naturally did not feel angry at all.Therefore, he could not wait to use Kathleen’s idea to explain himself. After making up his mind, he quickly explained, “Josie, I... I have a reason for that...”“Why? What’s the reason?” Josie asked angrily, “Don’t you think I understand you well enough yet, Merlin? Everything else is more important to you compared to me and your daughter! Your mind will be occupied whenever someone dies in New York, but when are you ever concerned about us?”Merlin was a little speechless.He was alre
Kathleen said indifferently, “Ten million US dollars may indeed be a lot to you, but to me, ten million US dollars is less than one percent of the compensation that I paid to those victims on behalf of the Fox family. This matter is very dangerous, and the slightest mistake could cost a person’s life.”Immediately afterward, she looked at Josie as well as Joy, who was behind Josie, and said seriously, “Actually, what I want to say is that you shouldn’t be complaining about how Chief Lammy didn’t inform you about this matter in advance. After all, the matter that I entrusted him to do was not only very complicated, but it was also very dangerous and he might have even lost his life if he was not careful.”“What’s more, Chief Lammy has already retired and intended to go back to take care of his own life, and there was no need for him to take this risk at all. However, he became very excited because of the ten million US dollars commission, and he didn’t accept the task because he wante
The family problems that Merlin had been worried about were finally successfully resolved with Kathleen’s help. Merlin’s sense of ‘family responsibility’ and ‘dedication’ not only made his wife and daughter forget about his disappearance during this period of time, but it also changed their image of him being an incompetent man, in their opinion.It could be said that Merlin’s image was suddenly pushed to an unprecedented height to his wife and daughter. Merlin’s wife and daughter gathered around him, and their eyes were flushed red from crying. Merlin was excited but also ashamed, and at the same time, he looked at Kathleen with slight gratitude that could not be concealed.Lord Acker admired Kathleen even more, and he took advantage of other people’s attention on Merlin’s family and called Christian and Kaeden aside as he whispered, “Miss Fox will be able to achieve great things in the future. The Acker family must strengthen our collaboration with her and build bridges with he
Charlie came to the top floor to greet her. He soon saw the helicopter door open followed by Nanako coming down from the helicopter dressed in a kimono, and he could not help but feel slightly taken aback.Although Nanako was indeed very beautiful in a kimono and had a very unique and gentle Japanese temperament, Charlie still could not figure out why Nanako would dress like this to come here. When Nanako saw Charlie, whom she had been longing for, in front of her, she was overjoyed and had a bright smile on her face as she said to Charlie, “Charlie-kun, I haven’t seen you in a long time!”Charlie smiled slightly, nodded, and said, “It has been a while indeed. Why are you dressed so grandly?”At this time, the Ito family’s butler and Nanako’s aunt also got off the helicopter and helped Yahiko, who was wearing his prostheses, out of the helicopter. Charlie looked even more surprised when he saw all these people dressed formally. Nanako stuck out her tongue and said playfully, “
When Isaac heard Charlie’s instructions, he immediately said, “Okay, Young Master. I’ll go and make the arrangements now.”After saying that, he quickly turned around and left.Yahiko felt a little embarrassed and said, “Mr. Wade, you don’t have to do that. It’s not necessary to celebrate my birthday. You can just give your orders directly if you have anything you need.”Nanako, who was aside, also could not guess Charlie’s real purpose in asking them to come to New York, so she also said very sincerely, “Charlie-kun, you don’t need to be so polite with us if you need the Ito family to do something for you! The Ito family will definitely go all out no matter what your request is!”Charlie said with a smile, “If you really want me to say it, there is, in fact, something that I need the Ito family to do for me.”Having said that, Charlie paused slightly and said again, “I recently got my hands on a pill that is somewhat helpful to the disabled. That is why I want to ask Mr. Ito and
“No.” Charlie smiled and said, “A large amount of beauty mud has been prepared in the bathtub. The two of you can just close your eyes and rest when you lie in it. Don’t worry about the rest.”“Okay!” Yahiko nodded heavily and said, “In that case, we won’t waste your time anymore, Mr. Wade. Let’s start right now!”Charlie nodded and said with a smile, “By the way, Mr. Ito, why don’t you make a birthday wish since it’s your birthday today?”“Well...” Yahiko said awkwardly, “Nanako already made me make a wish when I was on the plane to come here...”Charlie asked with a smile, “May I ask what kind of wish did you make, Mr. Ito?”Yahiko laughed at himself and said, “To be honest, I didn’t make a wish at the time. I simply went along with it.”When Nanako heard this, she said angrily, “Otou-san! How can you fool even yourself?!”“Did I?” Yahiko sneered and said, “Making a wish is just a formality! If I want to wish for world peace, I’d still have to ask the Americans if they agree t
Charlie’s words made Yahiko feel that it would not be good for him to be so wishy-washy all the time either, so he said without hesitation, “If I am really asked to make a wish related to myself, I would wish for my two legs to come back again. Unfortunately...”“Okay.” Charlie reached out his hand to interrupt him and then said with a smile, “The logic of making a wish is that you can say whatever you want, but whether your wish will come true or not should not be your concern.”Yahiko was slightly startled, and he smiled in a self-deprecating manner before he then nodded and said, “You’re right, Mr. Wade. Whether it can be realized or not depends on God.”Charlie waved his hand and said indifferently, “God may not even be able to handle this kind of thing.”“Well...” Yahiko did not know whether to laugh or cry as he thought to himself, ‘You’re the one who asked me to make a wish, saying that I didn’t have to worry about whether my wish can be fulfilled or not, but you’re also the
