The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Chapter 204

Who was this unfortunate person who actually had so much money to be fooled by this profiteer?

Charlie could not help but ask Jacob, "Who did Zachary sell those pills to?"

"I'm not sure. Zachary told me that he had to maintain his professional ethics and keep his client’s information confidential." 4

After he was done speaking, Jacob shook his head before sighing. "Zachary gave me the five hundred thousand dollars and told me that he was doing me this favor to honor you. I tried to give him some commission for his hard work, but he refused to accept any money from me. He is really a very talented salesperson, but it is a pity that he is a swindler. I advised him to try to make a living by getting a decent job." 2

Charlie shook his head. It was completely impossible for Zachary to change his occupation! 1

He had already been a swindler trading in antiques ever since he was young, and it had already become a habit for him. If he had to work a decent job in an office, he would probably give up on life immediately. 4 Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

However, since Zachary had managed to sell the pills a t such a high price for Jacob, Charlie was relieved because Jacob could use that sum of money to

subsidize their living expenses.

After all, they had already been kicked out from the Wilson family and Claire would probably be unemployed for the time being. Moreover, Jacob would no longer be receiving any dividends from the Wilson Group since they were no longer part of the company. Thus, Jacob could use the money to help them through this transition. 4

No longer depressed because he had made five hundred thousand dollars out of nowhere, Jacob smiled before he started humming as he walked into his bedroom. 2

Charlie also returned to his bedroom to tell Claire about this matter.

Claire jumped out of bed before asking nervously," Charlie! The other party spent so much money on the pills! What if something bad happens after taking the pills? Would you be able to get away with it if the pills did not work for them at all?" 1

"Don't worry, Claire," Charlie replied as he smiled." Those pills work to treat blood stasis and promote good blood circulation. The medicinal herbs used to make the pills are not expensive or valuable. Even if anyone used it for the wrong purpose, the only side effect is that they would suffer from a nosebleed for about two days at most. Anyway, even if there are any side effects, they can only blame themselves for buying medicine without any prescriptions at all! How could they waste money like that?"

Claire was still not convinced and fretted over it. "In that case, why don't you tell me who on earth would b e willing to spend five hundred thousand dollars to buy those two pills?!"

Charlie replied casually, "Probably someone suffering from cerebral obstruction or someone with a family member suffering from the cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease at home. That pill would also be very effective for people suffering from these illnesses." 1

Claire finally felt a little more relieved after listening t o Charlie's explanation. 1

After all, these were all terminal illnesses that would cost no less than five hundred million dollars if they were to treat their condition in the hospital. 5

After they were done with dinner, Charlie received a phone call from Don Albert as he was washing the dishes.

Even though Albert was a very well-known mobster boss in Aurous Hill, he had been rather depressed and had maintained a very low profile ever since meeting Charlie.

Charlie did not look up to him at all, but he felt that Albert was actually very sensible. When Douglas was bullied at the hospital, Albert had helped Charlie to solve the problem. 1

Therefore, Charlie promised to give him a second chance to act like a man. However, Charlie did not

expect him to actually call him personally.

Upon answering the phone, Charlie asked, "Albert, why are you looking for me?"

Albert smiled before he replied, "Oh! Mr. Wade! I called because I heard about what you did during the metaphysics competition at the White family mansion. I would like to congratulate you..." 3

At this time, Charlie simply spoke coldly, "Get straight to the point and tell me why you are calling me today." 4

Albert hurriedly replied, "Oh, Mr. Wade, you're incredible! You could see right through me."

Charlie was getting quite impatient and said, "You are still talking nonsense now?" 2

Thus, Albert quickly explained himself. "Mr. Wade, this is why I am calling you today. The Moore family has always treated me very well for so many years. However, the eldest daughter of the Moore family recently ran into some trouble, and I would like to ask you to come over to take a look and see if you could help her." 4

Charlie paused. "The Moore family? Are you talking about Jasmine?"

"Yes!" Albert replied immediately. "Miss Jasmine is in trouble!"
