Theodore, Reuben’s father, stood in shock as he observed the unfolding scene. His mood was even more somber than Reuben’s.


    As the heir apparent, his greatest concern was that his father would live far too long.


    Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty reigned for an impressive 61 years, during which his son, Yinreng, held the title of crown prince for forty years. Eventually, the crown prince grew weary of waiting and challenged his father to step down from the throne.


    With Lord Moore still wielding significant power within the family, Theodore knew that the longer his father lived, the more difficult things would be for him.


    If the old man were to survive another decade, he would be in his 70s. How could he possibly continue to lead the family at that age?<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    It even crossed Theodore’s mind that he might pass away before his father…


    This thought filled him with despair.


    In contrast, Jasmine was overjoyed as she watched her grandfather grow healthier and more vigorous with each passing day.


    Noticing that the old man appeared slightly fatigued, she quickly approached him with a face towel and suggested, “Grandpa, why don’t we wrap up for today? We can practice again tomorrow.”


    “Absolutely!” Lord Moore replied enthusiastically. He epted the towel, wiped his brow, and sighed, “I never anticipated such incredible luck at this stage of my life. I’m truly grateful to Master Wade for his generous gift…”


    Turning to Jasmine, he added, “Jasmine, you must hurry and win over Master Wade! My greatest wish is to walk you down the aisle and give your hand to him on your wedding day!”


    Jasmine couldn’t help but blush at her grandfather’s bold statement.


    Theodore interjected, “Father, I urge you to reconsider the situation regarding Jasmine and Master Wade!”<fna955> Find the newest release on find?novel</fna955>


    Feeling awkward, Theodore replied, “You’re right, Father, but Master Wade is already married. Encouraging Jasmine to pursue him could lead toplications.”


    Jasmine bit her lip, feeling embarrassed.


    She was well aware of Charlie’s marital status and recognized that it wasn’t proper to approach him in such a manner. Her uncle’s bluntment only heightened her embarrassment.


    Lord Moore scoffed, “What do you understand? The marriage between Master Wade and the Wilson girl is merely a formality; they have never truly been together. Why should we be concerned?”


    He rolled his eyes and turned back to Jasmine, “Sweetheart, don’t worry about what others think. If you have feelings for Master Wade, go after him.”


    Jasmine pressed her lips together, feeling both flustered and shy.


    Lord Moore noticed her difort and shot a re at Theodore, warning, “From this point forward, I don’t want to hear anyone mention that Master Wade is married. Is that clear?”


    Theodore quickly bowed and eximed, “I apologize, Father; I wasn’t thinking clearly!”


    “Hmph!” Lord Moore snorted with disdain. “Jasmine, arrange for me to meet Master Wade tomorrow. I’d like to invite him to dinner to express my gratitude for his incredible generosity and the Rejuvenating Pill. Also, prepare a bank card with a bnce of one billion to give to Master Wade as a token of my appreciation.”


    The family members gasped in astonishment!


    One billion in cash?!


    The entire cash flow of the Moore family was only around 3 billion, and the old man had decided to allocate one-third of their finances to Charlie Wade?!


    Theodore and Reuben seethed with frustration.


    They only had about 500 million avable, and their father wanted to give Charlie a staggering one billion?!</p“what>
