At seven-thirty in the morning, Charlie feigned waking up just then. After freshening up, he stepped out to grab something before returning home.


    ire rushed to her office following breakfast. Meanwhile, ine cleared the dishes and then pulled her husband, Jacob, along to visit the vi at Thompson First. She was growing increasingly impatient with the slow pace of renovations at the vi.


    Jacob was reluctant to go and tried to reason with her, saying, “The vi has several floors and spans over a thousand square meters. Renovating and decorating it is a huge task. It will likely take over six months to finish. Your impatience won’t change that.”


    ine retorted, “I don’t care! I’ve lived in this rundown house long enough. If the renovations aren’t finished by next month, I’d rather sleep in the unfinished vi than stay here for another minute!”


    ine insisted, “Stop with the excuses! Change your clothes and drive me to the vi. Hurry up, or I’ll get rid of all the antiques you’ve brought home!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Jacob had little ambition in life, with his true passion being antiques. Despite often falling victim to scams and spending a lot on items that turned out to be worthless, he believed each piece was a treasure. Even if they held no value now, he was sure they would be worth something in the future.


    Hearing ine’s threat to toss his treasures, Jacob quickly gave in. “Alright, alright. I’ll go with you,” he conceded.


    ine nudged him and said, “What are you waiting for? Get dressed!”


    Jacob protested, “I haven’t finished my crullers yet! Let me eat first!”


    “Eat, eat, eat! That’s all you do!” ine snapped in frustration. “You’re bing just like Charlie! All you do is eat and sleep! What else have you aplished?”


    With a somber expression, Jacob replied, “Fine, I’ll stop eating.”


    After saying this, he quickly got up to change his clothes.<fn913d> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n ?ovelFind</fn913d>


    Once he returned, ine urged him to leave the house immediately.


    Seeing his family had left, Charlie quickly grabbed his cell phone and called Graham. He requested over thirty different types of medicinal herbs and materials to refine his rejuvenating pill as soon as possible!


    Graham readily agreed to send the herbs and assured Charlie they would be delivered promptly.


    Just after hanging up, Charlie received a call from Anthony.


    As soon as Anthony was on the line, he respectfully asked, “Mr. Wade, did you manage to catch the Japanese man who tried to steal the medicine from me yesterday?”


    “Yes, we caught them,” Charlie confirmed. “I set a trap, and surprisingly, they walked right into it.”


    Anthony expressed his astonishment, saying, “Mr. Wade, I heard from some contacts in the medical field that Mr. Masao Kobayashi, chairman of Kobayashi Pharma, passed away unexpectedly this morning. Is this connected to the four pills you gave me?”


    Charlie replied calmly, “Yes, Mr. Masao Kobayashi died after taking one of the pills. They aren’t miraculous; they’re actually poison.”


    Anthony had suspected something was off with the pills. Upon hearing Charlie’s confirmation, he eximed, “Mr. Wade, you’re truly remarkable! If you hadn’t orchestrated this n, those magical pills would have been taken by the Japanese man…”


    As they spoke, Charlie heard Anthony’s granddaughter, X, in the background saying, “Grandpa! Jeffrey and Liam from the Weaver family are here to see you!”


    “The Weaver family?” Anthony frowned. “What do they want?”


    Charlie smiled and replied, “I heard that Keh is experiencingplications after taking the medicine from the Weaver family. They’re likely here to ask for your assistance.”


    Anthony quickly responded, “Mr. Wade, don’t worry. I know Keh has been very disrespectful to you. Even if he were to die right in front of me, I wouldn’t lift a finger to help him!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
