Theodore rushed back to his room to change into fresh clothes while Oscar took Lord Moore to the hospital.
During his quick change, Theodore called Rueben, officially informing him of the situation and requesting his immediate return to Aurous Hill.
Rueben had been anxiously awaiting news, so he promptly arranged for a private jet to prepare for take-off, nning to depart from Tokyo early the next morning.
To avoid raising Charlie’s suspicions, Rueben also made a respectful call to him. On the phone, he said, “Master Wade, my father just informed me that there seems to be a slight issue with my grandfather’s health. I need to rush back as soon as possible, so I might leave Tokyo early tomorrow morning…”
Feigning surprise, Charlie asked, “Rueben, what exactly is wrong with your grandfather? Is it serious?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Rueben quickly replied, “Master Wade, please don’t worry. My dad mentioned it’s not too serious, but my grandfather appears to be a bit confused, so I’m hurrying back to check on him.”
He added earnestly, “Master Wade, I must temporarily leave Tokyo this time. I kindly ask that you do your utmost to find Wanting and bring Jasmine back to Aurous Hill on my behalf. Thank you!”
Charlie assured him, “Don’t worry, I will do everything I can. Hopefully, I can bring Jasmine back to Aurous Hill in a few days.”
On the other end of the line, Rueben scoffed to himself, thinking, “Wade, have you lost your senses? Jasmine has been missing for over 24 hours. Even if she survived the car ident, being lost in that mountain for so long reduces her chances of survival significantly!”
He continued his internal monologue, “Moreover, the remote mountains of Nishitama County are treacherous, filled with wild animals. It’s likely that her body has already been scavenged by wildlife, with only bones remaining. Do you really think you can bring her back to Aurous Hill? Dream on!”
Despite these thoughts, Rueben maintained a respectful tone, saying, “Master Wade, I truly appreciate your help!”
Charlie replied nonchntly, “No need for such formality. It’s gettingte; you should rest well tonight and make sure to bring Lord Moore back safely.”
After hanging up, Charlie wiped a smirk from his face, amused at the thought of how pleased Theodore and Rueben must feel right now.
They likely believed that Jasmine was dead and that Lord Moore’s condition had left the entire Moore family vulnerable and ripe for the taking.
Let them relish their pride.
After Rueben left, he would secretly escape Tokyo with Jasmine, returning to Aurous Hill and catching thempletely off guard!
They would think that the now-confused Lord Moore would no longer hide behind a fa?ade and might turn the tables on them in a shocking twist!
Just then, Nanako Ito came running over, knocking on Charlie’s half-open sliding door. She poked her head in and smiled brightly, saying, “Charlie, Miss Moore is awake.”
Charlie smiled back and replied, “She finally woke up after sleeping all day.”
Nanako continued, “She must have been terrifiedst night and exhausted from wandering in the mountains, so it’s understandable that she needed extra rest.”
Then, she added, “By the way, Charlie, I’ve arranged for Miss Moore to visit the hot springs to help her recover. My father sent over a freshly caught bluefin tuna, and our family has prepared two bottles of Yamazaki 50. This evening, I would love for you and Miss Moore to enjoy some sashimi and sushi.”<fnb2f3> Get full chapters from find?novel</fnb2f3>
Bluefin tuna is renowned for being one of the priciest fish, with the best quality pieces fetching around ten million yen. The price per kilogram can exceed ten thousand dors, and these figures reflect the auction price for the entire fish, not just the retail rate.
