Just as Charlie was sighing emotionally as he was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard a familiar voice next to him asking, “Mr. Wade, what are you thinking about that you seem to be so deep in your thoughts?”Charlie was slightly startled. He turned around and saw that Marianne had already arrived behind him at some point.He was surprised and also a little scared at the same time.He had not expected that he would be so numb and careless to the point that he had not even noticed it when an ordinary person like Marianne had approached him.He came back to his senses immediately, smiled slightly, and said to Marianne, “I was thinking about some things that happened in the past.”Having said that, Charlie asked her, “Miss Marianne, when did you come?” “I just arrived.” Marianne also smiled slightly and then walked over to Charlie’s side as she looked at the lively scene below and asked Charlie, “Were you thinking about your parents just now?”“Yes...” Charlie did not deny it,
Charlie did not refuse when he was faced with Marianne’s kindness and good intentions.Even though he was a billionaire now, he still held regrets for not having completed his higher education.In the past, it was not that he did not want to spend more time reading. It was just that there were many times when he did not have the time to do so. Over the few years when he had first married Claire, he was basically always wearing his apron aside from the time when he was sleeping. There was never anyone to encourage him or spur him on, so he really had not developed the habit of reading over the years. Since Marianne was willing to take on the role to urge and guide him, Charlie naturally agreed readily. Marianne was very happy. So, she said to Charlie, “We have reached a consensus, then. Remember to register an email when you have time. I will help to choose some books for you, and I will send you the electronic version of the books through email. That way, you can read it anytim
However, he was surrounded by countless reporters taking pictures at this time, and he could not see Kathleen anywhere. According to the original plan, Master Yale from Mystery Court was supposed to preside over the housewarming ceremony, but Shawn did not know why Aivan could not be found at the scene at all.To make matters worse, he suddenly discovered that the ritual altar that Aivan had spent a lot of effort to build had also disappeared without a trace.So, Shawn quickly pulled Marley aside and asked in a low voice, “Where is Master Yaleman?! Why is he missing?!”Marley explained in Shawn’s ear, “Mr. Long, something happened to Master Yaleman. It seems that he was bitten by something he had raised, and his injury looked very serious. He was just taken away in an ambulance...”“What?!” Shawn said in horror, “What the hell?! He was taken away in an ambulance?! Who is going to preside over the ceremony today, then?!”Marley hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Long. Mr. Wade has a
Kathleen’s smiling remark caused all the reporters on the scene to be stunned.Although everyone had guessed that Kathleen might know Shawn, no one expected that Kathleen would show Shawn so much respect. In her capacity as the chairman of a trillion-dollar enterprise, she would have already made Shawn shine if she were to merely attend as a guest of honor. Unexpectedly, Shawn had actually invited Kathleen here to host the housewarming ceremony, and to everyone, Kathleen was showing Shawn great respect by agreeing to do so.After all, Shawn’s assets were only one percent of the Fox family’s assets. When Shawn saw the media reporters’ shocked expressions, he only felt an unprecedented sense of relief in his heart. Everyone loved being respected and admired. Shawn only felt that he had never been admired so greatly in his life.When Kathleen came forward, the media reporters who were originally planning to watch Shawn end up as a laughingstock also placed their usual gossiping a
There were also two VIP seats reserved for Charlie and Kathleen at the scene.After Charlie had been seated, Shawn stood up with a glass of wine and said to Charlie with immense gratitude, “Mr. Wade, I owe everything today to you. My gratitude toward you can no longer be described in words. I will offer a toast to you first to express my gratitude to you!” After saying that, Shawn drank all of the wine in his wine glass in one gulp without waiting for Charlie to speak.Charlie smiled slightly and asked him, “Mr. Long, are you satisfied with today’s affairs?”“Yes! Most definitely!” Shawn nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, “Mr. Wade, I’m really a hundred... no, a thousand or ten thousand times satisfied with the arrangement today! Oh, no! I’m not satisfied, but I’m grateful. I’m truly grateful, Mr. Wade!”Charlie nodded and said indifferently, “It’s best if you’re satisfied. Everything is considered settled today for this matter, then!”Shawn hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, everyth
In this world, the person who understood Janus’s ability best was Shawn. If it was not for Jenna, Shawn would definitely have done everything that he possibly could to keep Janus by his side and make him his right-hand man. It was a pity that even a hero would tend to lose his ambition, make mistakes, or fail in his career because of his love for a beauty. Back then, neither of the two had taken a step back, and they had finally become enemies for twenty years. Now that Shawn had let go of his past grudge against Janus, from his perspective as Janus’s old friend, he also hoped that Janus could rediscover his true value once more. He also felt that he was not good enough for Janus anymore, and Janus’s value could only be maximized if he stayed by Charlie’s side. He could also see that Charlie must have seen Janus’s value, and that was why he had devoted so much energy to Janus at all costs. Therefore, at this moment, he was not only affirming Janus’s strength on one hand but
Charlie laughed and said, “It’s for my wife and mother-in-law. Just choose something that women like better.”Kathleen nodded and smiled as she said, “When buying things for women, bags and jewelry are definitely the best choices. For bags, there are Hermes and Chanel, and for jewelry, there would be even more brands such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany, and Bvlgari. These are all good choices.”Charlie said, “I will not be buying bags for them this time. I have already bought them bags before but I can consider getting them jewelry...”As Charlie thought of this, he suddenly remembered the situation that Jasmine had helped him set up for Elaine.At that time, Elaine had ended up spending almost all the cash because of a fancy emerald necklace from Bvlgari.Charlie suddenly thought of how Elaine would feel if he were to buy her the exact same necklace that she had bought when she had won the lottery. As Charlie thought of this, he said without any hesitation, “Let’s go to Bvlgari
While Charlie and Kathleen were shopping in the mall, Marianne, who was preparing for her thesis that was due soon, suddenly received an email from Aurous University. When she saw the two words ‘Aurous University’, she became very excited and quickly opened the email. After that, she could not help but read out the content of the email softly, “Dear Miss Marianne, I hope you’re well. I’m Rita Linzey, the person in charge of the Outstanding Talent Introduction Program at Aurous University. I have received your resume and cover letter. After our preliminary review, we believe that your situation is consistent with the needs of our Outstanding Talent Introduction Program. You are invited to come to Aurous University for an interview. The interview time is...”When Marianne saw this, she immediately exclaimed and cheered excitedly, “This is great!”Marianne’s classmate and friend, Kori Canvin, who was aside, was quietly searching for information when she suddenly heard Marianne shout.
