“Oh?! A very wealthy client?” ine eximed, her surprise evident.
“Yes, we have an appointment scheduled for noon,” Charlie replied.
“That’s fantastic!” ine squealed with delight. “Quick, go! Make more money while you’re at it. It would be great if you could earn enough for the new furniture and appliances!”<fn29fb> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on findnovel</fn29fb>
“Hmm, I’ll see what I can do,” Charlie responded thoughtfully.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
In reality, Charlie had a well-thought-out n. He intended to withdraw two million from his card to purchase the furniture and im it was part of a feng shui project.
He was eager to move his wife out of their rundown house. Moreover, their bedroom was just a wall away from ine’s, and they had to share a bathroom, which was bing increasingly annoying.
If they relocated to the vi, they could upy a separate floor from Jacob and ine, minimizing the chances of running into each other and reducing any potential friction.
Thus, he fabricated a story about the feng shui job, but his actual n was to visit the bank after lunch with Lord Moore, apply for a new card, transfer two million into the ount, and give the card to either ire or Jacob.
In short, he was determined not to hand the card to ine, the reckless spender. If she got her hands on the money, there was a high likelihood she would dash to a beauty salon and splurge two hundred thousand on facials and spa treatments.
At 11 am, Jasmine arrived at the entrance of Charlie’s apartment block and promptly called him.
When Charlie came downstairs, she opened the door and said, “Master Wade, grandpa is already waiting for you at Heaven Springs. Let’s head over.”
“Okay,” Charlie replied with a warm smile. “Thank you for the lift.”
Jasmine blushed slightly. “It’s my pleasure.”
Charlie smiled back, choosing to remain silent.

Meanwhile, at Heaven Springs,
Lord Moore entered the venue, nked by two bodyguards.
He decided not to invite any family members to his lunch meeting with Charlie, keeping it limited to just his bodyguards and Jasmine.
Don Albert quickly approached Lord Moore and greeted him warmly, “Hello, Mr. Moore! I apologize for not being here sooner to wee you. I was at the Diamond Suite overseeing my staff for the lunch arrangements.”
Lord Moore was taken aback when he saw Don Albert.
Don Albert appeared significantly younger than he had the day before at the banquet!
Could it be that he, too, had received Master Wade’s Rejuvenating Pill?
Lord Moore stammered in surprise, “Don Albert… did you also receive special treatment from Master Wade?!”
Don Albert nodded and stepped closer, lowering his voice. “Mr. Moore, something happened yesterday. The Webb family sent a few men herest night, injuring over a dozen of my guards and nearly killing me. Thankfully, Master Wade arrived just in time to save me and give me the Rejuvenating Pill. Otherwise, I would have ended up in a vegetative state!”
Lord Moore was stunned. “What? What urred? Why wasn’t I informed?”
“After the banquet, Master Wade mentioned that his father-inw had reserved a suite here, so I rushed over. I had no idea that the Lloyds would invade the restaurant with Donald Webb’s five bodyguards! They nearly killed me! Their real target was Master Wade!”
“What?! This is outrageous!” Lord Moore eximed, shocked by the revtion. He had been oblivious to the events unfolding outside the mansion while he was preupied with the miraculous effects of the Rejuvenating Pill. Jasmine was pleased about her grandfather’s improved health, while Theodore and Reuben were concerned. No one had paid attention to the happenings beyond the walls of their grand home.
Lord Moore was furious to learn that Donald was after Master Wade. He turned to his bodyguard andmanded, “Quick, spread the word that the Moore family stands firmly with Master Wade! If the Webb family dares to touch even a hair on his head, we will go to war with them!”
