In a soft voice, Jasmine said, “Master Wade, let’s go too.”


    “Okay,” Charlie replied.


    ***


    As she drove her red Bentley away from the Moore family mansion, Jasmine felt her heart racing. She had never experienced such nervousness around Charlie before.<fna409> ?????? ???? find·novel</fna409>


    Silence filled the car, prompting Jasmine to clear her throat as she sought a conversation starter. Finally, she said, “Master Wade, I can’t thank you enough for today. I waspletely taken by surprise when you gave me the Rejuvenating Pill. It’s such a generous gift! I feel indebted to you.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie smiled warmly and responded, “Truth be told, I gave you the Rejuvenating Pill so you could offer it to your grandfather on my behalf. With this pill, Lord Moore can easily live to at least 100 years. He will likely want this gift very much. However, being the fair and honorable man he is, he won’t simply ept it from you without a good reason, so a meaningful return for the pill is expected.”


    Jasmine nodded appreciatively. “Master Wade, I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness. From now on, whatever you need, just ask, and I will do everything I can!”


    Charlie chuckled lightly. “Haha, I don’t have any requests at the moment; all you need to do is take care of yourself.”


    He continued, “I must admit, I was surprised by Lord Moore’s bold announcement at the birthday banquet. Handing over the patriarch position to you so openly caught me off guard. I anticipated a more gradual approach to such an important decision.”


    “Now that he has made such a public deration, it could be very challenging for your uncle and cousin. They might harbor resentment towards you because of this, so you should be cautious in your actions moving forward.”


    With sincerity, Jasmine replied, “Don’t worry, Master Wade. I understand your concerns and appreciate your advice.”


    Charlie sighed softly. “Perhaps the allure of the Rejuvenating Pill clouded Lord Moore’s judgment when he made his decision. I am genuinely worried about your safety. If anyone in the Moore family feels bitter about your new role, they might turn against you.”


    Jasmine smiled sweetly. “Master Wade, thank you for your concern. Remember, I still have that magical elixir you gave me. Didn’t you say it could protect me in critical moments?”


    Curious, Charlie asked, “Where do you keep the elixir?”


    Jasmine blushed and stammered, “The pill you gave… I keep it… I always keep it… close to me…”


    Feeling embarrassed, she couldn’t bring herself to meet Charlie’s gaze when she mentioned “close to me.”


    Initially, she had stored the medicine in her car, but she soon realized that wasn’t a secure location for such a precious item. Since then, she had kept it close to her, findingfort in knowing it was a gift from Charlie, which made her feel cared for and protected.


    Charlie, focused on Jasmine’s safety, didn’t notice her blush. Instead, he said, “By the way, could you help me find a good piece of white jade from Vintage Deluxe?”


    “White jade?” Jasmine inquired eagerly. “What kind of white jade are you looking for, Master Wade?”


    Charlie replied matter-of-factly, “The whitest and purest white jade, free from any impurities. I want to craft a talisman from it for you to wear close to you. It will help keep you safe.”
