'If it weren't for you meddling with stuff, that old fart wouldn't be able to reverse the situation and allow Jasmine to become the head of the Moore family! In that case, I wouldn't have had the intentions to kill her! 9

As he thought about this, Reuben's eyes were filled with resentment and hatred. He then whispered to himself coldly, "Charlie, you'd better not cause me any trouble with Jasmine's case. Otherwise, I don't care whatever your status is, Master Wade or sh*t! I will definitely find a way to kill you!" 8

After saying that, Reuben was able to calm down a little, take his phone out, and make a phone call to Charlie.

As soon as the call connected, Reuben heard Charlie's voice from the other end of the call saying, "Hello."

He replied hurriedly, "Mr. Wade? It's me, Reuben."

Charlie spoke, "Oh, it's you, Mr. Reuben."

Reuben hurriedly said, "Mr. Wade, you can just call me Reuben. Grandfather called me a while ago telling me that you came all the way to Tokyo because of

Jasmine's case. He told me to follow your instructions. May I know where you are right now?"

Charlie replied casually, "I am currently staying in a friend's house."

Reuben didn't think much of it and continued, "Mr. Wade, I don't think it's convenient for you to stay at your friend's house. The condition of living might not be too good. Why don't you stay in a hotel instead? I a m currently staying at the Aman Hotel in Tokyo, I can immediately get someone to book the best room for you."

Charlie said lightly, "You don't have to trouble yourself. I find it quite convenient to stay at my friend's place."

With that being said, Charlie deliberately used a commanding tone and ordered, "Little Reuben, I want to meet up with you. You can report to me face to face about the whole ordeal regarding Jasmine and the current ongoing investigation of this matter." 6

Reuben felt extremely upset but was still able to reply very sincerely, "Alright, Mr. Wade. Please provide me with the address and I will immediately rush to meet you now!"

Charlie deliberately wanted to display his power to Reuben, so he said indifferently, "No need. Aren't you staying at the Aman Hotel? You just need to wait at the hotel. I will send someone over to fetch you. When that person arrives, that person will give you a call." 1

Reuben proceeded to say politely, "Mr. Wade, how could I ask so much of you. I do not deserve your kind gesture of sending someone over to fetch me. Why don't I go there on my own..." Charlie then replied coldly, "I have nothing else to say.

Just wait for the call." 3

As soon as he finished his sentence, Charlie immediately ended the call.

Reuben, who was on the other end of the call, was already spewing flames of anger from his lungs.

He threw the phone onto the carpet and shouted angrily, "F*ck! Who the f*ck is he calling Little Reuben?! Just because I told him to drop the formalities, he thinks he can address me that way?! Is' Little Reuben' something you should be calling me?!" 5

As soon as he finished shouting, he then proceeded to roar angrily, "You even wanted me to meet you? How shameless are you?! Just because you have a friend in Tokyo that allows you to stay at their place, you think that you are so high and mighty now? F*ck!"

As furious as Reuben was, he was still able to see through the event fairly clearly.

'Although I am very dissatisfied with Charlie, I will still have to meet him. I will have to listen to his every command. On the surface, I should at least pretend to be very cooperative... Otherwise, if he were to notice that something seems off with me, wouldn't I be finished? Charlie's temper is notoriously bad, and his relationship with my sister is still unclear. If he were to find out that I was the one who harmed my sister, he might just kill me in Japan. If that happens, everything I've been working for would be for naught...' 4

Meanwhile, at the Ito family residence.

Jasmine was still resting, and Nanako had always remained by Charlie's side. 4

After ending the call with Reuben, Charlie then turned to Nanako, who was by his side, and said, "Nanako, I will need to trouble you to do me a favor." 3

Nanako hurriedly replied, "Charlie-kun, please do not hesitate to give me your orders!" 5

Charlie smiled slightly and said, "I would like to trouble you to send a team to help me pick someone up and bring him here. The team should be as grand as possible. The grander the better!"
