Nanako Ito is currently in her senior year, at the age of 22, which is quite simr to Aurora’s age.
Meanwhile, Jasmine is roughly the same age as Charlie.
This means Jasmine is actually four years older than Nanako Ito.
Given this, it made sense for Nanako Ito to refer to Jasmine as her sister.
Jasmine felt ttered by Nanako Ito’s warm demeanor.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
As the head of the Ito family, thergest family in Japan, Nanako Ito oversees a family with a strength that is ten times greater than that of the Moore family.
With such immense influence, Nanako Ito’s politeness towards Jasmine and her eagerness to call her sister was truly touching, fostering a sense of closeness between them.
The two women quickly engaged in lively conversation, findingmon ground on many topics.
At that moment, Ito Yuihiko arrived home. He greeted Jasmine with courtesy and then informed her, “Mr. Wade, arrangements have been made for the ship. You’ll be able to board at the Tokyo container port tonight. You’re quite fortunate; internal sources indicate that the Coast Guard is conducting equipment overhauls this evening, which will result in rxed maritime supervision. This makes tonight the easiest time to set sail.”
Continuing, Ito Yuihiko added, “I’ve also spoken with the Coast Guard. If there are any changes, they won’t inspect your boat.”<fn000e> Fresh chapters posted on FindN0vel</fn000e>
“Alright,” Charlie responded with satisfaction, acknowledging, “Mr. Ito has been very helpful in this matter.”
With respect, Ito replied, “Mr. Wade, there’s no need for such formality between us!”
Jasmine, who had been quietly chatting with Nanako, suddenly perked up and asked Charlie, “Are we leaving tonight?”
Charlie confirmed, “Yes, we’ll be departing by boat tonight.”
Feeling a rush of anxiety, Jasmine quickly inquired, “Master Wade, is something wrong in Aurous Hill?”
Charlie chose not to share the details about Theodore and Rueben’s intentions regarding Lord Moore’s medicine. Instead, he offered a reassuring smile, saying, “Don’t worry, everything is fine. I just want to leave quietly without drawing attention. You should head back home.”
Jasmine nodded, expressing her gratitude, “Thank you, Master Wade.”
Then, she turned to Ito Yuihiko and Nanako Ito, bowing slightly, “Mr. Ito, Miss Nanako, thank you for your support and care!”
Nanako Ito quickly replied, “Sister Jasmine, there’s no need to be so formal with me. Remember, you are my elder sister, and we are good friends. This will always be your home. Whenever youe to Japan, please stay with us!”
She then addressed Charlie, saying earnestly, “Charlie, please know that this will always be your home in Japan!”
Charlie nodded with a smile, assuring, “Don’t worry, I will remember.”
Ito Yuihiko then interjected, “By the way, Ms. Moore is interested in coborating with Nippon Steel. Would you like me to invite Watanabe Shinka over to sign the cooperation agreement with you?”
Jasmine was taken aback, speechless. Charlie took the lead in questioning, “Is this person trustworthy? Will he keep Jasmine’s situation confidential?”
Ito Yuihiko assured him, “Mr. Wade, you can rest easy. Watanabe Shinka ispletely reliable. I’ll ensure he keeps everything confidential and doesn’t speak out of turn.”
Charlie nodded, “In that case, please invite him over and arrange for the contract to be signed tonight.”
Jasmine quickly interjected, “Master Charlie, is this really appropriate?”
Although she was eager to secure the cooperation agreement with Nippon Steel, she felt uneasy since this arrangement was not a typical business negotiation but rather a favor from Ito. She worried about Charlie feeling indebted to Ito on her behalf. Jasmine was overwhelmed with emotion.
Charlie responded with a calm smile, “You don’t need to worry about this; I’ll handle it.”
Jasmine contemted saying more but ultimately decided against it.
She recognized that she already owed Charlie so much. Her life and heart were his, and with his approval, her entire being, along with the Moore family, could belong to him. Thus, she felt it unnecessary to dwell on how much she owed him.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
