Chapter 1421


    Frankly speaking, ine didn''t want to be a lickspittle to Charlie, but she was currently in a very


    awkward position. 8


    She no longer had the financial power of the family. She was almost penniless. Even the luxurious


    Thompson First vi was under Charlie’s name, which had nothing to do with her. 8


    More importantly, since she had lost more than 2 million in the mahjong scam that Hannah had set


    up, she knew that her status in the family had dropped significantly. Even Jacob, who had always


    been shouted at and bullied by her, had turned against her and even beat her up. Under such


    circumstances, she knew that she did not have the luxury to be arrogant and cocky like she used to


    be. 2


    Thus, ine knew that, for now, she could only behave with her tail between her legs, and tried to


    get on Charlie''s good side. She would be doomed if even Charlie turned against her one day and


    kicked her out of the house. 6


    Moreover, Charlie was even willing to help her ask about the expensive cosmetics. Of course, she


    had to tter andpliment him more.


    ire didn’t expect that Charlie would ask about the cosmetics for ine on his own ord. She


    sighed helplessly and asked, "Dear, howe I never knew


    that you have a friend in the cosmetics business." 2


    Charlie smiled, "My social circle began to expand ever since I started doing the feng shui job. How


    else would I know Liam Weaver, the CEO of Apothecary Pharmaceutical? If it weren''t for the fact


    that I knew Liam, you wouldn’t have had the chance to dine with such a big star such as Quinn,


    right?"


    ire nodded lightly and sighed, "Hey, it''s better not t 0 owe people favors. The caviar anti-aging


    cosmetics are easily over a hundred thousand dors per set. It''s really too extravagant for a family


    like us. There''s no need...”


    ine blurted anxiously, "Oi, girl! Who says we don''t need them?! My dear son-inw Charlie didn''t


    even say anything, so don''t you dare talk nonsense here!" 9


    Then, she turned to Charlie and said with a coy smile," Charlie! I’ll depend on you to fix my old and


    wrinkled face! Or else, if your heartless father-inw wants to divorce me in the future, I''ll be an old


    and useless woman that no one wants! My happiness in this life will be gone." 3


    Charlie looked at ire and said, "ire, don''t mind about the price. I can, after all, convert the


    price of the product into my feng shui service without us actually spending money. You know, the


    good old barter system."


    "Exactly!" ine immediately smiled and uttered, "My son-inw is awesome. It''s all thanks to you


    that I can live in such a ssy Thompson First vi! The way I see it, I’ll have to rely on you for the


    rest of my life." 9

    Then, shemented with a grateful sigh, "People say a son-inw is half a son. I didn''t believe


    them, but now, I truly believe them!"


    ire was dumbfounded as she looked on.


    Never in her wildest dreams did she think that her mother, who had always been harsh and rude to


    Charlie, would worship him like a deity. 8


    So, she turned to Charlie and said in a somewhat dejected tone, "You’re on your own now. I don''t


    even know what to say."


    Charlie said with a smile, "I''ll go to see him today, then."


    Truth be told, Charlie didn''t have any friends in the cosmetic business. When he said that, he had


    already made up his mind that after he was done with his matters at hand today, he would go and


    buy two sets o f the cosmetics that ine had talked about-one for ine, and the other, of course,


    for his wife.


    He decided to give them to ine because her current attitude made him feel invigorated and


    refreshed.


    What did men want, besides the woman he loved? s


    Status and dignity.


    He, Charlie Wade, was the renowned Master Wade who was revered by everyone in the upper-


    ss society of Aurous Hill, but all along, he had to be bossed around by ine at home.


    Charlie could only put up with ine for ire''s sake. However, the tables had turned, and it was


    good that ine had finally sumbed to him willingly. 7


    He had plenty of money now anyway. He wouldn''t mind giving ine some petty gains if she was


    going t o be respectful and submissive to him every day from now on. 6 Sure enough!
