At this moment, Jasmine called and said, "Hi, Mr.
Wade, I'm sorry, I was at Lancaster for sbusiness affairs this afternoon, and now I'm at the downstairs of your house, can you please cand get the invitation card from me?" 4 Charlie answered straight away, "Okay, I'll go now!" He hurried off the door and went downstairs. 5 Jasmine was in her Rolls Royce, waiting for Charlie. When she spotted him, she hurriedly got out of the car and handed him two invitation cards. 4 Charlie thanked her graciously and returned home.
Back home, Jacob was still sulking and angry. 1 Claire tried to persuade him, "Dad, please, calm down. Grandma gave Harold the invitation card for him to know a few people in the business industry and the upper-class social society, and also to build his own social network." 2 Jacob sighed. "Huh, your grandma is always biased towards Harold and his father since young, she always looks down on me, it's always been that way since! Argh! I'm so pissed!" Claire nodded helplessly. She also knew that her grandma favored her cousin and uncle more than her family. 4 At first, her grandma was biased towards her uncle because grandma thought that her father was incapable and soft.

Her family's status basically went down the drain after she married Charlie.
At this moment, Charlie walked forward and handed two golden invitation cards to Jacob, and said, "Dad, I have the invitation card you dream of." "What!!" As if a spring was installed on his buttocks, Jacob jumped up from the sofa in surprise! 3 He snatched the invitation off Charlie's hand, hurriedly opened it and glanced at it. For a short while, he was so excited that he couldn't utter a word. 3 Claire, who witnessed them, was utterly surprised too. She took the invitation card from her father and realized that it was the genuine invitation card from the Treasure Pavilion, i "Wow, that's amazing! Charlie, you really are my good son-in-law!" Jacob's face was flushed with thrilling red, his voice was filled with astonishment. 1 He patted Charlie's shoulder and said, "My daughter is so lucky to be your wife." 3 "Huh, it's just an invitation card, what's so special about it?" Elaine snarled sarcastically. 11 Jacob glared at Elaine in annoyance, clutching the invitation card tightly. "What do you know, you dimwit? This is the invitation card from the Treasure Pavilion!" Then, he turned to Charlie and said, grinning ear to ear, "Come, sit down, let's eat!" He waved his hand at Claire and said, "Go and get the bottle of fine whiskey from the cabinet, I want to have a couple of drinks with my good son-in-law tonight." 5 Elaine glared at Charlie when she saw her husband was happy and continued her dinner quietly. 2
Claire was also very happy for her father but she was a little skeptical. When she cback with the M er whiskey, she bumped Charlie's elbow as she sat down and asked, "Where did you get the invitation card from, anyway?"
She heard about her father's sulking when she was at the office earlier m today and wanted to get one for him. Then only she realized that the invitation card from the Treasure Pavilion was limited to every family How did Charlie do it? Charlie smiled warmly and said, "I asked a friend, he received two but he didn't want to go, so he gave it to me." 2
"Really?" Claire frowned, still not convinced. "How cI never heard you say that you have a friend with such a good family background? What's his name?" Charlie said faintly, "His last nis Quinton, I helped him once in Antique Street the other day. Dad knows him..." 3 Jacob nodded. "Oh yes, he's right, the Quinton guy even gave Charlie a jade bracelet that is worth five or six million!" X
