Charlie nced at Jasmine, a smile spreading across his face as he exined, “I came here with my father-inw to join his ss reunion with his old ssmates. I didn’t mention it earlier because I didn’t want to burden you.”


    Jasmine quickly interjected, “Mr. Wade, you should have informed me beforehand that your father-inw would have a ss reunion here! I could have made arrangements to host him and his friends!”


    Charlie chuckled, replying, “There’s really no need for special arrangements. It’s just a bunch of old friends getting together to catch up and have a good time. In fact, I think they might feel out of ce if everything is too extravagant.”


    He continued, “Moreover, I’ve never mentioned to my father-inw that I have a strong rapport with you. He might be quite puzzled if the youngdy from the Moore family personallyes out to greet him.”


    Jasmine nodded thoughtfully, then added, “By the way, Mr. Wade, my grandfather is celebrating his eightieth birthday with a banquet tomorrow at noon. I was nning to send you an invitation tonight to see if you could attend. He has been eager to meet you.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    After a brief moment of consideration, Charlie responded, “I don’t have any ns for tomorrow, so I will definitelye to the birthday banquet.”


    To Charlie, even though the Moore family didn’t hold immense power, they were still the wealthiest family in Aurous Hill. He believed that nurturing a good rtionship with them would save him from manyplications in the future.


    Additionally, Charlie had a favorable impression of Jasmine. He found her to be intelligent and promising, which made him want to appreciate her even more.


    Once Jasmine learned that Charlie would attend her grandfather’s birthday celebration, she eagerly asked, “Mr. Wade, should Ie pick you up in the morning?”


    Charlie quickly declined, stating, “No, that’s alright. You’ll be busy with the preparations for Lord Moore’s celebration tomorrow. I’ll make my way to your house on my own.”


    Jasmine smiled sweetly and replied, “Alright then, Mr. Wade. Juste find me when you arrive tomorrow.”


    “Absolutely, I will do that,” Charlie affirmed.


    As Jasmine checked the time on her watch, she said apologetically, “Mr. Wade, I won’t keep you any longer. I have to head back and get ready for the banquet.”


    “Go ahead,” Charlie nodded, watching her leave before he took the elevator to the tenth floor.<fn5385> Find the newest release on find?novel</fn5385>


    Upon reaching Room 1008 on the tenth floor, the group of older gentlemen was taken aback by the room’svishness, each one of them holding their phones and snapping pictures.


    They knew that the highest floor a notorious mob boss in Aurous Hill could ess was the tenth floor of the Glorious Club, so they understood that anyone who could enjoy a room there was quite noteworthy.


    This was a revtion for Jacob and his old ssmates, as they clearlycked the status or means to be here on their own.


    Everyone was showeringpliments on Charlie, with one person eximing, “This is all thanks to Jacob’s son-inw! This ce truly resembles a royal pce!”


    Another chimed in, “I’ve lived over fifty years, and I’ve never been to such an extravagant venue! Jacob’s son-inw is truly remarkable!”


    As the praise for Charlie continued, Jacob felt a swell of pride. Initially ridiculed and dismissed, he never imagined he would earn such respect and admiration from his old ssmates. It was a significant boost to his self-esteem.

    Meanwhile, as Jacob and his ssmates reveled in the luxury on the tenth floor of the Glorious Club, ine and Hannah had arrived at the Thompson First vi to y mahjong with a wealthy woman introduced by Hannah.


    A middle-aged woman, elegantly dressed and seated at the banker’s position, was setting up an electronic mahjong machine. With a smile, she said, “Hannah, who is this sister? Why don’t you introduce her to me?”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
