HappyNovelWho would have known that Lady Wilson was just a believer in Buddhism on the surface, but she was actually an
extremely greedy and shameless person within! 1
At that time, he would have been willing to kneel down in front of anyone if that person offered to give him one
million dollars. 3
No one can resist the attraction of money when they are in need. 2
Those who are able to really treat money as dirt are those people who have more than enough money to spend.
What was ten or twenty million dollars to Charlie now? He had tens of billions of dollars in his bank account and
Emgrand Group made tens of billions of dollars in profits every year. He did not know what else he could spend
his money on anymore. 4
Therefore, what was the point of him accepting the twenty million dollars from them now? He would rather not
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttake the money, but instead allow them to pay homage to him and to treat him as their benefactor just so they
would show him more respect in the future. 2
That was what he really wanted. 2
But how could he tell Jasmine what he was thinking?
Right now, Jasmine feels that he was a saint who could actually treat money like dirt.
If that was the case, then he would simply allow her to continue thinking that way, then.
At this time, Jasmine continued drinking her red wine as she muttered to herself, "Actually, | can tolerate
everything else but I really don't want to be manipulated and controlled by the Moore family when it comes to
matter involving my own marriage. | don't want to be a pawn that is controlled and used to advance the Moore
family business. | don't want to give my youth and happiness away. | don't want to follow in my mother's
footsteps and repeat all her mistakes..." 4
Charlie asked out of curiosity, "Was your mother's marriage also arranged?" 1
"Yes." Jasmine nodded before she said, "After marrying my father, my mother was never happy in her life. She
was so depressed for so many years until she finally passed away at a very young age." Charlie vaguely
remembered Albert telling him that Jasmine's mother had given her the diamond necklace before she passed
away more than ten years ago.
Since Jasmine should be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, Charlie estimated that her mother had
probably died when she was around ten years old. In that case, her mother must have been really young
when she passed away. 5
Jasmine took another sip of red wine and she played with the wine glass in her hand before she said
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmapologetically, "Mr. Wade, I'm sorry that you had to listen totalk so much nonsense." Charlie hurriedly
replied at this time, "Jasmine, please don't say that. I'm glad that you can confide inbecause this shows that
you trust me." 2
Jasmine nodded before she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. After that, she said, "Mr. Wade, | really
want to thank you for everything that you have done fortoday. You didn't only save my grandfather's life but
you also listened tocomplaining and spewing so much nonsense about my life. Thank you for being such a
good friend!"
Charlie smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite withif you regardas your own friend! If friends
are too polite, then it seems as though the friendship isn't real."
"Yes!" Jasmine replied as she nodded. "It is already getting late, Mr. Wade. | will send you home."
Charlie waved his hand immediately. "You don't need to sendoff. | don't think that you should be driving in
this condition so you should also find a driver to take you home." 4 Jasmine nodded and said, "Don't worry about
me! The female manager here can drivehlater. | need to send you hfirst!"
