Graham was taken aback by Charlie’s statement.


    His entire family faced ruin?


    Was he truly expected to pay such a steep price?


    Graham felt his face drain of color as he sighed, “I’ve nevermitted any wrongs in my life. I strive to do good and assist those in need every single day. So how did I find myself in this predicament?”


    Charlie smiled before inquiring, “Is that why you were so eager to buy that piece of topaz earlier?”<fn8c24> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on FιndNovel</fn8c24><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Graham nodded, acknowledging that he had explored various options, yet nothing had worked until he crossed paths with Charlie.


    Initially, he had thought Charlie was simply an antique appraiser and hadn’t given him much thought. However, today, Charlie had unexpectedly identified the root of their troubles without hesitation. Graham realized that Charlie was far from an ordinary individual; he might very well be theirst hope, and the future of the Quinton family rested in his hands.


    In desperation, Graham sped his hands together and implored Charlie, “Mr. Wade, I beg you to help my family!”


    As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly instructed his assistant, who promptly left to carry out the orders.


    Charlie offered a faint smile and replied, “Mr. Quinton, I believe you should handle your family matters independently.”


    He had no ties to the Quinton family; Graham was merely someone he had met once before. Moreover, Adam had already wronged him due to the incident with the pebble.


    Even though Aurora was quite striking and possessed an impressive figure, she had a fiercely impulsive nature.


    Besides, her attractiveness meant nothing to him. She wasn’t his wife, nor would they share a bed.


    Therefore, Charlie saw no reason to assist the Quinton family.


    Yet, Graham was unwilling to let this golden opportunity to save his family slip away. He bowed deeply before Charlie, saying, “Mr. Wade, I am pleading with you. Please tell me how I can save my family.”


    Graham showed utmost respect towards Charlie, bowing at a full ny-degree angle.


    Still, Charlie remained unmoved.


    Seeing Charlie’s indifference, Graham’s heart sank, and he immediately knelt on the ground.


    Without hesitation, Aurora knelt beside her father.


    As she knelt before Charlie, she spoke earnestly, “Mr. Wade, I realize I was reckless earlier. I apologize if I offended you in any way. The future of the Quinton family is in your hands. Please help us.”


    Afterward, Aurora turned to Adam, who appeared utterly stunned. She pped him across the face and scolded, “Adam! This is all your doing. You brought that strange and malevolent thing into our lives! You even offended Mr. Wade, the only one who can assist us! Kneel before Mr. Wade and beg for his forgiveness and mercy right now!”


    Adam was filled with fear and at a loss for words.


    He never imagined that the chalcedony pendant he owned would be the source of all the disaster and misfortune guing the Quinton family over the past year. He couldn’t shift the me onto anyone else. Furthermore, he had offended Charlie, who now seemed to be their only chance at salvation. Adam feared what his grandfather and rtives would do to him if they discovered the truth.


    In desperation, Adam knelt and trembled as he pleaded, “Mr. Wade, I was wrong. Please forgive me and show mercy to my family! I didn’t recognize right from wrong. I’m begging you to help the Quinton family escape this looming misfortune!”


    With that, Adam knocked his head against the ground, continuing to plead with Charlie.


    At that moment, Graham’s assistant returned, holding a gift box.


    Graham epted the box from his assistant and presented it to Charlie with great respect. “Mr. Wade, this is the finest jade bracelet from Emerald Court, valued at over six million dors! Please ept this gift as a token of my gratitude.”


    Charlie nced at the gift box in Graham’s hands. Inside was a beautifully crafted jade bracelet, crystal-clear in appearance.


    The onlookers gasped at the sight of the jade bracelet, knowing it was the most expensive one in Emerald Court, worth at least six million dors!


    Yet here was Graham, instructing his assistant to procure it as a gift for Charlie, even going so far as to plead for Charlie to ept it.


    It was clear that Graham held Charlie in high regard.


    But who exactly was Charlie?<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
