The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family -
Chapter 2097
Reuben felt that his views on life, values, and worldview had been completely turned upside down in an instant!
He never would have guessed that Charlie would know the young miss of the Ito family!
What was even more frightening was that Miss Ito was wearing a kimono, kneeling opposite Charlie, and respectfully serving him tea like a waitress.
This was simply unbelievable!
Reuben wailed internally in despair as he stared at the scene in disbelief.
'What the hell is this? Do the Japanese believe in Feng Shui and metaphysics too? How else could Charlie have fooled Ito Nanako, then?!'
Just when his mind was overwhelmed with shock and bewilderment, Charlie waved at him with a wide grin as if he had seen his friend's son and said, "Hey, Reuben, come quick! Come and have a seat." 4 Reuben was even more puzzled when he looked at Charlie's calm demeanor and thought to himself, 'He and Jasmine are quite close, but why is he so calm after Jasmine has gone missing for so long? He's already in Tokyo, but instead of looking for Jasmine, here he is, sitting so leisurely and enjoying tea at the Ito residence.'
Although Reuben was puzzled, he braced himself and came to Charlie, respectfully saying, "Hello, Master Wade!"
Then, he turned to Nanako and said politely, "Hello, Miss Ito. It's nice to meet you!"
Nanako smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Moore, do you know me?"
Reuben nodded. "Of course. Your reputation precedes you."
Nanako chuckled graciously and gestured, "Please have a seat, Mr. Moore. We're having the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Have a try and see if it's to your liking."
Reuben hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Thanks but no thanks, Miss Ito. I'm here today to take Master Wade's order, so I'll just stand." 5
Charlie lightly waved his hand. "It's alright, Reuben. Your grandfather and I are old pals. You don't need to be so cautious in front of me. Since Miss Ito has asked you to sit, just sit then."
Reuben was very disgusted by Charlie's tone and voice. He could hear the somewhat condescending and patronizing aura in Charlie's way of speaking, which made him feel extremely unpleasant, but he didn' dare to disobey him at all at this moment.
After all, Charlie was the Ito family's guest, which made his presence in this room very important and significant. So, Reuben said respectfully, "If you say so, Master Wade, I'll take a seat." With that, he sat down beside Charlie.
His heart was still thumping violently once he sat down, not knowing what was going through Charlie's mind. 4
At this moment, Charlie asked, "Reuben, what do you know about Jasmine? Tell me everything you know."
Reuben's heart skipped a beat, but he managed a neutral expression and said, "Well, Master Wade, some time ago, Jasmine wanted to reach an agreement with Nippon Steel, so she came to Japan with some of our company's staff to start negotiations with them.
However, last night, something unexpected suddenly happened. The car that she took fell off the cliff at the Nishitama District. The other three people in the car died on the spot, and Jasmine's current whereabouts are unknown..." 3
Charlie nodded. Then, he looked at him and asked," What did the Tokyo Police Department say?"
