    Inside the car.


    Jasmine was at the wheel, chatting with Charlie. “Master Wade, my grandpa has been mentioning you a lottely. He was worried you might not have time to make it to his birthday banquet. I’m sure he’ll be thrilled to see you!”


    Charlie gave a small smile and replied, “I’ve already promised to attend the birthday banquet, so why would I go back on my word?”


    Jasmine nodded enthusiastically, saying, “I really think you’re the person my grandpa is most eager to see today.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As she continued, Jasmine sighed and added, “I can’t quite figure out what’s been going on with him. Ever since he visited the genius doctor, Dr. Simmons, a few days ago, he hasn’t stopped talking about you. He even confided in me that his biggest wish is to have you at his birthday celebration today.”<fn2164> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n FιndNovel</fn2164>


    Charlie paused for a moment, chuckling softly.


    He understood why Lord Moore was so keen to see him.


    It was likely that Lord Moore had noticed the remarkable changes in Anthony’s health and physique, and he must have realized the incredible benefits of the Rejuvenating Pill. That would exin why he was so eager for Charlie to provide him with one of those pills!


    In fact, it wasn’t just Lord Moore who would be tempted by the allure of the Rejuvenating Pill. Charlie knew that many elderly individuals would find it irresistible.


    When he received the invitation to Lord Moore’s birthday banquet, Charlie contemted what kind of gift would be appropriate for him.


    After much thought, he concluded that someone of Lord Moore’s stature likely didn’t need material gifts or money. Therefore, he decided it would be best to simply present him with a Rejuvenating Pill.


    To Charlie, the Rejuvenating Pill was not particrly special, especially since the most valuable ingredient was the three-hundred-year-old purple ginseng.


    Moreover, after assisting Liam, the illegitimate child of the Weaver family, Liam had gifted Charlie his most cherished family heirloom: a snow-white ginseng over a thousand years old. If Charlie used this ancient ginseng to create a new medicine, its effects would certainly surpass those of the Rejuvenating Pill.


    Thus, by giving Lord Moore the Rejuvenating Pill, Charlie would be doing him a significant favor at minimal personal cost, effectively killing two birds with one stone.


    At that moment, Jasmine remarked, “Master Wade, grandpa has invited many of your friends to celebrate his birthday today. You’ll have a great time catching up with themter!”


    “Oh, really?” Charlie replied with a smile. “Who did he invite?”


    Jasmine responded, “I know he invited Doris, the vice-chairman of Emgrand Group. I heard you have a good rtionship with her, right?”


    Charlie nodded, saying, “Yes, it’s a decent rtionship.”


    Jasmine beamed and added, “She’ll be attending today.” Then she paused for a moment before mentioning, “And of course, the heads of the Quinton family and the White family have also been invited. They both have solid connections with you, right?”


    Charlie smiled and confirmed, “Yes, that’s correct.”


    Continuing, Jasmine said, “Grandpa also invited Liam, the chairman of Weaver Pharmaceutical. I heard you were the one who supported him?”


    Charlie nodded slightly, exining, “Yes. Liam has always been an outcast in the Weaver family. After his father and half-brother wronged me, I decided to back him.”


    Jasmine pressed her lips together and asked, “Master Wade, I heard you sent Don Albert to take the father and son from the Weaver family up to Mount Golmin to dig for ginseng?”


    “That’s right,” Charlie replied. “Jordan had such a disdainful view of Mount Golmin, so I thought it would be a fitting punishment for him.”


    Jasmine smiled as she said, “I heard that their time on Mount Golmin has been quite harsh. They have to dig for ginseng just to get food. Recently, with heavy snow covering the mountain, they couldn’t go out to collect anything, which left them without food or water. They even resorted to stealing a chicken from a viger’s house and ended up getting caught and beaten.”


    Charlie, intrigued, asked, “Why are you so interested in their situation? I’ve been out of the loop about themtely.”


    Jasmine blushed slightly and admitted, “I felt they deserved some punishment for their actions, so I wanted to find out what they were going through.”


    Charlie chuckled and asked, “Are you also keeping tabs on the group sent to dig coal in Erith?”


    Jasmine replied with a smile, “Yes, I’ve been following that too! They seem to be having a really tough time there. They work twelve hours a day in terrible conditions, and they often don’t have enough to eat. I’ve heard them crying out in despairte at night…”
