Donald had developed a deep-seated jealousy towards Lord Moore.
If he truly understood how incredible this medicine was, he would have seized the pill himself, regardless of the price!
Unfortunately, he had foolishly crossed Charlie.
Previously, he had been scheming to eliminate Charlie so his son could have a better chance at winning Jasmine’s heart.
However, after today’s events, his only desire was to get his hands on a Rejuvenating Pill from Charlie.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
As for who his son would marry in the future, that concern paled inparison to the importance of the Rejuvenating Pill.
Thus, when the members of the Moore family were all kneeling before Charlie, he seized the moment to rush out of the Moore family mansion and retrieve his resentful son, Sean.
Sean confronted his father angrily, “Dad, do you even realize what you’re asking? You want me to go back and apologize to that loser?”
“Yes!” Donald snapped back. “You need to apologize to him right now. If that doesn’t work, then you must kneel and apologize. If kneeling doesn’t suffice, then you must kowtow and plead for his forgiveness! Whatever it takes, you need to ensure he epts your apology today!”
“Why?” Sean shouted in disbelief.
“Why should I have to kowtow to him? If that’s what you want, then just kill me instead! Can’t you see that Jasmine is clearly in love with him? If I apologize and beg him for forgiveness, I’ll have no hope of pursuing Jasmine in the future!”
Donald replied coldly, “Right now, the priority isn’t whether you’ll marry Jasmine. The priority is whether I can obtain Charlie’s Rejuvenating Pill!”
Sean eximed, “Dad, you’re still so young! Why are you obsessed with something like that?”
“Young?” Donald scoffed. “I need to make sure I acquire a Rejuvenating Pill from Charlie, no matter the cost! Nothing else matters more than this!”
Sean stared at his father in shock. “Dad! Have you forgotten our n? We were supposed to eliminate Don Albert today and Charlie tomorrow! Are you really going to abandon our n just for a Rejuvenating Pill?”<fnb00e> This text is hosted at find·novel</fnb00e>
Donald red at Sean and replied icily, “Don’t you understand strategy? If Charlie is a mountain blocking our path, we need to bring him down. But now that we’ve discovered a priceless treasure on that mountain, does it make sense to destroy it before iming the treasure?”
At that moment, Sean hesitantly asked, “Dad, what do you mean…”
Donald’s expression darkened as he stated, “First, we will do everything possible to obtain the treasure before we take the mountain down! That’s the decision of a wise man!”
Sean’s eyes lit up with excitement at his father’s words. “Dad, are you saying you want to get a Rejuvenation Pill from Charlie before eliminating him?”
“Exactly!” Donald confirmed coldly. “Charlie mentioned he acquired this Rejuvenation Pill by chance. Since he’s willing to give it to Lord Moore, that indicates he must have more! No one would give away their sole Rejuvenating Pill.”
Donald continued with conviction, “I’m sure Charlie has several Rejuvenating Pills on him. If we can obtain them, I can secure the Webb family’s future for at least a century!”
Sean quickly asked, “Dad, after we get the Rejuvenation Pills, will we still go after Don Albert and Charlie as per our original n?”
“Absolutely!” Donald replied, his expression grim. “Not only will I eliminate Charlie and Don Albert, but I’ll also take out anyone who supports him in Aurous Hill! And that includes Lord Moore, that insufferable old man! No wonder he’s been so dismissive of me; he’s been holding onto such a valuable treasure all this time!”
Sean cautiously inquired, “Dad, are you nning something against the Moore family?”
Donald nodded slightly, ensuring no one was within earshot before he said seriously, “First, we’ll find a way to get the Rejuvenating Pill. Once we have it, we’ll deal with both Don Albert and Charlie. After that, I’ll give the Moore family a chance—if they agree to let Jasmine marry you. If they refuse my generous offer, they’ll have no one to me but themselves!”
He then added, “But before we proceed with this n, you must follow my instructions and stop acting so arrogantly!”
