The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family -
Chapter 3959
At this moment, at Shangri-La.
The auction was already over, but Charlie didn't leave immediately.
He originally prepared a whole Rejuvenating Pill for the three VIPs tonight, half of which was to be given to his grandfather, Jeremiah. The other half would be divided into two, to be given to Old Master Lennard and the old queen of Northern Europe.
The reason why the auction attracted so many rich customers from Europe and the United States was all thanks to these two, who had helped Charlie to promote and endorse the Rejuvenating Pill.
Therefore, Charlie prepared a simple banquet at Shangri-La and invited the three of them over for a late-night snack.
Jeremiah and Chandler already knew each other and so, both of them chatted happily at the dinner table. The old queen of Northern Europe, however, was feeling quite left out and it made her rather uneasy.
Although she was once the queen of a country, she had already abdicated the throne now and had lost her status.
Furthermore, her self-confidence had been greatly shattered by the rich participants who were bidding crazily at the auction tonight. There was no doubt that she came in through the back door, and her net value was absolutely at the bottom of the pile when compared to the two hundred people attending the auction.
Charlie himself made more than one hundred and seventy billion US dollars in one night just by selling the Rejuvenating Pills. While she was very flattered to be able to sit at this table right now, she was also apprehensive about it.
However, Charlie, despite having earned more than a hundred billion dollars, remained humble before these three elders.
He personally poured wine for the three of them. He stood up as he raised his glass, and said politely, "Today, I'd like to thank the three of you for coming all the way here and supporting me. I would like to offer a toast to you with this glass of wine!"
The three wanted to stand up at the same time, but Charlie said hurriedly, "Please remain seated. As your junior, I'd like to offer a toast. Please don't be so courteous with me."
Chandler, however, interrupted
anxiously, Young Master Wade, I am
nothing but..As soon as Charlie
this
heard Chandler's words, he knew that Chandler was going to talk about their fate again. So, he quickly cut Chandler off. "Master Lennard, we do not care about fate table. Even if I don't know you, I'd still stand up and offer my seat to you if we were to meet on a public bus. There's no need for you to be so polite with me now."
It was rare for Jeremiah to enjoy Charlie's respect. Thus, he persuaded Chandler," Master Lennard, just sit down. Let's not make things difficult for Charlie."
It was only then that Chandler nodded. He clasped one of his hands over the other as he said, "Young Master Wade, I won't be so formal with you."
Charlie smiled faintly, and then
looked at the old queen who was
next to him. She was feeling even more nervous and apprehensive. Not knowing whether to sit or stand, her legs were slightly stiff as there was a small distance between her buttocks and the chair. Her half-standing, halfsitting posture made her look even more humble.
Charlie said to her gently, "Lady Elliot, you don't need to be so formal with me either. D o sit down."
Relieved, she retreated to her chair and said gratefully, "I'd also like to thank you for this unexpected invitation, Mr. Wade. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the qualifications to participate in this auction." Charlie smiled in return. "I saw that you also made a few bids at the beginning. How do you feel?"
The old queen said in embarrassment, "I didn't have a sense of self-awareness. I thought I might have the opportunity to win the bid for the first Rejuvenating Pill if I were to put up my entire fortune. Unexpectedly, the first Rejuvenating Pill would fetch a sky-high price of two billion US dollars. That much is already far beyond the wealth of the entire Elliot family..."
Charlie smiled again. "I invited you here as my VIP because I hoped you'd be able to support me. The fact that you made a bid on your own only serves to lower your status."
The old queen forced herself to
laugh, but privately she thought, 'So, what if I lower my status? I'd be willing to give up all of my
and gobankrupt if I colone
portion of the Rejuvenating Pill...!'
QUMS
However, she didn't have the courage to voice her thoughts. She could only be
humble and say, "You're right, Mr. Wade. I was a little too abrupt."
