Chad ignored Matilda, giving her a sideways glance before taking Marilyn's bag and saying, "Give me your bag. I'll help you get a room so you can rest.""Chad, there's no need! I came with Matilda. I'll stay with her so you don't have to spend more money!"Marilyn hid behind Matilda, forcing Chad to face Matilda.At that moment, Matilda glared at Chad and said coldly, "Are you pretending not to see me?""No!" Chad coldly said as if even one more word was a burden."Ha!" Matilda scoffed, "Are you just not bothered with me?"Chad told her, "I was already at Pine City in the morning. You just called me too late.""Is that so?! Why don't I believe you?!"Matilda deliberately raised her voice as she looked at the three beauties in the distance, growling, "It looks like you've had quite the appetite after our divorce! Three of them! Aren't you worried you'll sprain your waist?!"Then, Matilda pulled Marilyn away, leaving after they quickly checked in at the front desk.Very quickly

Linda was stunned when she heard Jade reveal the identity of the murderer."That's impossible! How could it be him? This can't be true!"Jade did not explain it; she simply said calmly, "I've said everything I needed to say about Luke's situation. Please accept my condolences."Jade exited the ambulance, straightened her clothes, and whispered something into Linda's ear. Linda's expression changed dramatically, and she angrily said, "Thank you, Madam Jade. I'll take care of the rest!"Jade smiled and walked away with her hands behind her back.They did not realize that a homeless man who stood not far from the ambulance had witnessed the entire process. Furthermore, this homeless man was a skilled Roggan member from Pine City who could read lips.The homeless man waited until the ambulance and Linda had left before pulling out his phone and making a call."Sir, I have some information to report..."Chad entered the Serenity Hotel and met Archibald, who had arrived."Ah, I see.

After an opening speech that lasted over ten minutes, Horace mentioned the main goal of the charity banquet."This charity banquet will raise funds for medical treatment for impoverished people living in remote mountainous areas. Donations from everyone will be sent directly to those in need by the Hacniane Charity Association. "Furthermore, every month after that, we will publicly announce the specific use of the funds and invite everyone's oversight."Then Horace began describing the many impoverished areas in Hacniane and the difficulty people had getting medical treatment.Finally, Horace said, "So tonight, I kindly ask all of you to be generous. Now, I declare the banquet has officially started!"As he finished speaking, a group of young people dressed in scholar's robes entered the Palace of Serene Wisdom with trays."Luxury leads to frugality, not the other way around. As a result, a gentleman lives frugally to manage his family and govern the country, bringing peace to t

"Boiling the radishes for too long resulted in some loss of medicinal properties. There was a problem with the bread; it would be preferable to remove the Coix seeds."Chad unexpectedly began by pointing out Raine's flaws, and his tone was extremely harsh.Matilda could not help but roll her eyes after hearing that. How dare Chad give Raine cooking advice?However, when she looked at Raine, the woman smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Master!"Wait a minute! Master? Chad was Raine's master!Matilda only realized that when Raine addressed Chad as Master for the second time.Meanwhile, Chad continued to look away from Raine, instead focusing on the large screen at the podium, which displayed the items up for auction."Now that you understand medicinal cuisine, I'm no longer your master. I'm just the one who introduced you," Chad said, slightly disappointed."Once a master, always a master. It'll never change in my lifetime," Raine said, feeling a little lost

When Horace heard Chad's bid, he returned a grateful glance.In his opinion, selling the first item with only one bid would be the worst possible start to an auction.Whether the opposing bid was high or low, the effect would be similar to if it had gone unsold.Chad's actions alleviated Horace's embarrassment.So, Horace shouted, "Guest number 13 bids 1.05 million dollars. Is there a higher bid?"The woman who had just bid 750,000 dollars was Luna Queen from Autumn Mood Jewelry.She looked coldly at Chad and noticed he was sitting with three other attractive women.'It appears this greenhorn is simply trying to show off in front of the beautiful ladies. He will probably not bid again if I raise the price,' she thought as she raised her paddle again. "One point one million!"There were no rules in the charity auction, so they could add any amount they wanted.Luna would have added a dollar if it had not been so embarrassing to do so.Horace did not even bother to say the pric
