Female Novel
Chapter 764
Theodore, Reuben’s father, was also stunned as he watched the scene. He was even more depressedthan Reuben.
As an heir apparent, his biggest fear was that his father would stay alive too long.
Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty held the reigns for 61 years, and Yinreng, the son of theemperor’s first spouse, was the crown prince for forty years. Eventually, the crown prince got tired ofwaiting for succession and challenged his father to abdicate his throne.
As Lord Moore was still holding the majority power of the family, the longer he lived, the moremiserable Theodore would be.
If the old man lived for another ten years, he would be in his 70s already, how could he still be the headof the family?
It was even possible that he would die before his father…
Theodore felt dejected when he thought of it.
Jasmine, however, was delighted as she watched her grandfather getting healthier and more energizedthan before.
Seeing that the old man was showing some signs of fatigue, she quickly marched forward with a facetowel and said, “Grandpa, why don’t we call it a day tonight? Let’s practice again tomorrow.”
“Okay!” Lord Moore nodded enthusiastically. He took the towel and wiped his sweat, then sighed, “I’venever imagined that I can have such precious luck as I am getting to the end of my life journey. I reallyappreciate Master Wade for his generous gift…”
Then, he turned to Jasmine and said, “Jasmine, hurry and tackle Master Wade’s heart already. Mybiggest wish is to walk you down the aisle and give your hands to Master Wade at your wedding!”
Jasmine blushed shyly at her grandfather’s blatant remark.
Theodore started, “Father, please think twice regarding the matter between Jasmine and MasterWade!”
“What else is there for me to think about?” Lord Moore chided, “Don’t you see how powerful MasterWade is? He is the true dragon on earth! If you have a daughter, I bet you want to quickly marry her tohim!”
Theodore crouched awkwardly and said, “Father, you are right, but Master Wade is married. You areencouraging Jasmine to intervene in his marriage.”
Jasmine bit her lips in embarrassment.
She was clearly aware that Charlie was married, and she knew that it wasn’t nice for her to approachhim in this way. She felt even more embarrassed and awkward when her uncle stated the fact sobluntly.
Lord Moore snorted coldly, “What do you know? The marriage between Master Wade and the Wilsongirl is just on paper, they never consummated their marriage. What should we worry about?”
He rolled his eyes and turned to Jasmine, “Darling, don’t you mind what other people think. If you likeMaster Wade, go and pursue him.”novelbin
Jasmine pursed her lips quietly, feeling abashed and flustered.
Lord Moore could see what was running through her mind. He glared at Theodore and warned, “Fromnow on, I don’t want to hear anyone saying that Master Wade is married. Do you hear me?”
Theodore frantically bowed and blurted, “I’m sorry, Father, I wasn’t thinking straight!”
“Hmph!” Lord Moore snorted disdainfully and said, “Jasmine, make an appointment with Master Wadefor me tomorrow, I would like to invite him to a meal and thank him for his great grace and theRejuvenating Pill. In addition, prepare a bank card with a balance of one billion. I will give it to MasterWade as a token of my appreciation.”
The family members gaped in bewilderment and awe!
One billion in cash?!
The cash flow of the entire Moore family was only about 3 billion, and the old man had decided toextract one-third of the family’s cash flow and give it to Charlie Wade?!
Theodore and Reuben were fuming in frustration.
They only had about 500 million in their hands, and the old man wanted to give Charlie one billion?!
