Anthony really did not expect Charlie to say good things about him and his granddaughter at this time. He was very grateful and humble as he said, “Lord Moore, Mr. Wade is too humble. In fact, Mr. Wade was the one who helped you avert this crisis. If not for him, we wouldn’t have been able to wake you up.”
Lord Moore nodded before he said politely, “I have already heard of your reputation a long time ago. Please do not belittle yourself, you are too humble. I really appreciate your kindness and effort in coming all the way here to treat me. Please do not hesitate to look for me if you need the Moore family’s help in the future.”
After that, Lord Moore looked at Charlie before he said, “Mr. Wade, thank you for saving my life. Please do not hesitate to ask me if there is anything that the Moore family can do for you in future. I owe my life to you.”
Charlie smiled before he replied, “Lord Moore, you’re too polite.”
After he was done speaking, Charlie realized that it was already getting late. Therefore, Charlie quickly said, “Lord Moore, you have just recovered from a serious illness and I will not advise you to use too much energy or overwork yourself. It would be best if someone looked after you and you should rest more. I shan’t keep you up, so if it is okay with you, I will leave first.”
Lord Moore hurriedly replied, “Mr. Wade, you saved my life! How much are you charging for your consultation fee? I do not mind paying you double the amount!”
Charlie replied indifferently, “There is no need for you to pay me any consultation fees at all. The reason I’m here today is because Jasmine is my friend and it’s only natural for friends to help one another.”
Jasmine was shocked when she heard Charlie’s words.
Charlie was obviously giving credit to her in front of her grandfather. After all, Lord Moore was the only one who would be deciding how much property and money each of the Moore family members would be inheriting from him and what role they would be playing in the family business in the future.
If any one of them could get into Lord Moore’s good books, then they could possibly become the future leader of the Moore family business, which was what she had been looking forward to all this while…
Charlie was helping her take one big step closer to her goal by giving her all the credit today!
At this time, Lord Moore turned around to look at his granddaughter, Jasmine, before he nodded and said, “Okay, very well then! Jasmine, make sure to thank Mr. Wade for saving your grandfather’s life!”
Jasmine quickly bowed before she replied in a serious tone, “Don’t worry, Grandpa! I will definitely repay Mr. Wade for his efforts!”
“Okay.” Lord Moore nodded in satisfaction before he laughed heartily.
Reuben, who was standing not too far away, had a very ugly expression on his face as soon as he heard Charlie’s words.
Jasmine had taken all the credit for his grandfather’s recovery and it seems as though his future looked rather bleak at the moment…
Charlie did not stay in the Moore family mansion for too long. When he saw that Lord Moore was already recovering, he told him that he would be leaving so that he could rest more.
Lord Moore decided to personally walk Charlie to the door.
At this time, Anthony also decided to leave with his granddaughter. Charlie asked Anthony to stay at a hotel in Aurous Hill for a few days so that he could contact him as soon as he prepared the medicine for him.
Anthony was very thankful and said goodbye to Charlie in a respectful manner as he watched him get into Jasmine’s car.
After that, Jasmine started to drive Charlie back to the city.
On the way back to the city, Jasmine suddenly said, “Mr. Wade, thank you so much for everything you’ve done today.”
Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “This is just a very small matter so you don’t have to be so polite! Who knows if I would need your help in the future?”
Jasmine quickly replied, “Mr. Wade, you can rest assured that I will never refuse any of your requests for help!”
After that, Jasmine looked at Charlie’s side profile before she asked in a tentative manner, “Mr. Wade, if you aren’t too busy, I was just wondering if you’d like to sit down and have a drink with me?”
She had a thousand doubts about Charlie and she wanted an answer for all the questions she had! Moreover, she realized that she was also starting to feel an irresistible attraction towards Charlie. She wanted to get to know him better and she wanted to learn more about all the secrets he was keeping to himself.
