No one at the scene could have anticipated the sudden shift in Donald’s demeanor. Moments ago, he had been reprimanding Charlie and pressing Lord Moore for answers, but now he was behaving in an unexpectedly polite manner.
Even Sean was taken aback by this change!
In a moment of disbelief, he blurted out, “Dad! Why are you being so courteous to a son-inw who is nothing but a casual, useless individual? Don’t forget, he just referred to our family as garbage outside!”
In response, Donald snapped, “Watch your mouth, you brat!”
There were many things Donald wished he could express in front of everyone, but instead, he was silently seething within.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
You fool! What do you know about real struggles?
Sean, still in his twenties and full of youthful vigor, thought he could party, drink, and stay upte without consequence. But Donald knew those days were behind him!
Sean enjoyedvish meals of expensive fish and meat daily. How could he possibly grasp the desperation of someone who hadn’t eaten in three days, bowing over just to secure a morsel of rice?
He had never truly felt hunger in his life!
Sean would never understand the panic thates with starvation, the physical toll it takes—hair loss, weakness, uneven breathing. He would neverprehend why someone starving would kneel for just a bun!
For Donald, even though he wasn’t old yet, he felt the decline of his healthpared to his youth. He had wealth, status, and strength, but not the vitality that once was his. Witnessing Lord Moore’s sudden transformation made Donald yearn for that same vitality deep down.
He would dly pay five hundred million dors for a miraculous medicine like that. In fact, he’d even consider shelling out five billion for a single pill!
Sean’s expression darkened after being chastised by his father.
However, he refrained from arguing back, fully aware of his father’s temperament. If he pushed further, he risked a public confrontation!
As Sean contemted his retreat, Donald noticed that Charlie remained unresponsive to his offer. In a moment of urgency, he shouted at Sean, “You fool! Come here and apologize to Master Wade this instant!”
Sean’s face reflected his distress as he said, “Dad, are you seriously asking me to apologize to him?”
Donald’s tone was icy as he replied, “Yes! You will apologize to Master Wade right now. If you don’t, there will be consequences!”
Sean could hardly believe his father would reprimand him in front of so many people. He felt utterly humiliated.
Especially with Jasmine looking at him with that mocking expression…
He felt like he was suffocating!
Unable to hold back, he eximed, “Dad! Even if it costs me my life, I won’t apologize to this pathetic loser!”
With that, Sean turned and stormed away.
Donald was furious at this turn of events!
He recognized that his son’s greatest w was his inability to understand the importance of humility in various situations.
Even billionaires must asionally bow to others. In moments like this, kneeling down should be a choice made willingly.
The Rejuvenating Pill was an extraordinary remedy. If he had never seen it before, it might not have seemed so vital. But having witnessed it, he couldn’t let this opportunity slip away!
He knew it would haunt him for life if he missed out on this chance!<fn6ed7> For original chapters go to Find★Novel</fn6ed7>
What was his son’s pride worth in light of such an opportunity?
Just as Donald was about to call his son back, Charlie, who had been quietly observing, smiled slightly and said, “Mr. Webb, since Sean is clearly upset, it seems futile to push him. As the saying goes, forcing someone rarely leads to a positive oue. A forced apology would be just as uneptable.”
Charlie then shifted his focus to Lord Moore. “Lord Moore, the Rejuvenating Pill can potentially extend your life by another decade or more. I’m confident you can reach a hundred years old. Don’t forget to invite me to your centennial birthday celebration!”
Upon hearing Charlie’s words, Lord Moore’s eyes welled with tears of excitement. He knelt down respectfully and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Master Wade! I will forever be grateful for your generosity toward an old man like me!”
Charlie smiled gently and replied, “Don’t just thank me. You should also express your gratitude to your devoted granddaughter, Jasmine. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have had the honor of knowing you or the Moore family, nor would I be able to offer you this precious Rejuvenating Pill. So remember to treat her well moving forward!”
Jasmine trembled slightly upon hearing Charlie’s words.
She realized that Charlie was presenting her with an incredible gift!
This was a monumental gift that could secure her future as the heir to the Moore family from her grandfather!
