Isaac frowned as he remarked, “Young Master, it seems the Kilgore family might be considering a marriage alliance with the Moore family.”


    Charlie smiled in response, saying, “The main point of interest here is the status of the young master sent by the Kilgore family. If he happens to be the eldest grandson of their first son, the chances of this alliance are quite slim. However, if today’s visitor is just one of the lesser-known descendants without significant standing, then the Kilgore family wouldn’t really be losing anything by marrying him to Jasmine, would they?”


    Isaac pondered for a moment and replied, “Based on what you’ve just said, it does seem like it would be a low-risk move. The Kilgore family appears to be thriving, with around six or seven male heirs in their current generation.”


    Charlie continued, “Inter-family marriages among the elite are much like horse racing. Even if the overall strength of your opponent’s family is greater, it doesn’t necessarily mean that every heir is superior to your best. In fact, their weakest heir might not evenpare to your strongest.”


    Isaac nodded enthusiastically, saying, “Young Master, your perspective is truly insightful. I’ve learned something valuable today!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie waved his hand lightly and smiled, “You’ve been working deeply in Aurous Hill for many years, so I trust you’ll grasp this concept. Even if it took a moment to sink in, you clearly understood it after just one of my remarks.”<fnc28b> The rightful source is fι?dnοvel</fnc28b>


    Meanwhile, Paul stood off to the side, holding a wine ss, filled with admiration for Charlie. He was struck by how Charlie seemed to continuously exceed his expectations.


    Paul had never anticipated that the elite of Aurous Hill would hold Charlie in such high esteem. The person quietly conversing with Charlie at that moment was the spokesperson for the Wade family in Aurous Hill, demonstrating the significant respect and influence Charliemanded in the region.


    Just then, a voice rang out in the banquet hall, “The third young master of the Kilgore family from Eastcliff has arrived!”


    This announcement stirred a greatmotion throughout the hall. The Kilgore family, ranked among the top ten families in Eastcliff, boasted assets exceeding five hundred billion dors, making them a formidable force.


    In terms of wealth alone, the Kilgore family’s resources far surpassed those of the Moore family, estimated to be at least five times greater. The unexpected appearance of the Kilgore family’s third young master at the birthday celebration for the Moore family’s eldest daughter raised eyebrows and sparked spection.


    Someone in the crowd eximed, “Do you think the Kilgore family is considering a marriage with the Moore family’s youngdy?”


    Another responded, “It’s quite possible. Miss Moore is not only beautiful but also possesses an excellent temperament and remarkable abilities! She would certainly be viewed as a desirable daughter-inw by the top families in Eastcliff!”


    Isaac turned to Charlie and remarked, “Young Master, the third young master of the Kilgore family holds a respectable position within his family.”


    Charlie, intrigued, asked, “What makes you say that?”


    Isaac exined, “The previous generation of the Kilgore family had four sons, each with at least two children, all of whom were male. The third young master is the only son of the second son of the Kilgore family. Although he ranks third in age, he is likely second in terms of influence and capability.”


    Charlie nodded, then smiled, “It seems the Kilgore family is trying to match their middle-tier heir against the Moore family’s top heir.”


    Isaac chuckled, “I doubt Miss Moore would be interested in him anyway.”


    Curious, Charlie asked, “Why do you think that?”


    Isaac replied earnestly, “Young Master, can’t you see? In Miss Moore’s eyes, you are the only one she has ever truly been interested in. I believe she holds you in very high regard. Compared to you, the third young master or any of the Kilgore heirs wouldn’t stand a chance in her eyes.”


    Charlie waved his hand gently, saying, “Please refrain from suchments in the future. Jasmine is not yet married, and I am alreadymitted. If this kind of talk gets out, it could damage her reputation.”


    “I understand,” Isaac nodded knowingly. “Don’t worry, Young Master. I will only discuss such matters with you.”
