Graham was startled by Charlie's words.
His whole family would be ruined?
Did he really have to pay such a huge price?
Graham turned pale before he sighed and said, "I have never done any bad deeds in my life. I've tried to do good
deeds and help the people in need every day. So, how did | end up in this state?"
Charlie smiled before he asked, "Was this the reason why you wanted to buy that piece of topaz previously?" 3
Graham nodded. In fact, he had already tried all sorts of different methods, but none of it seemed to work until
he met Charlie.
Previously, he thought that Charlie only knew how to appraise antiques, and so, he had not paid much attention
to him.
However, today, Charlie had actually pointed out the reason for their misfortunes without any hesitation. Now,
Graham knew that Charlie was not an ordinary person at all. In fact, Charlie might be their only hope, and the
fate of the Quinton family was in his hands. 1
Graham quickly clasped his hands together as he pleaded with Charlie. "Mr. Wade, please helpand my
family!"
After he was done speaking, he hurriedly gave some

instructions to his assistant beside him. The assistant turned around and left as soon as he received his
instructions.
Charlie smiled faintly before replying, "Mr. Quinton, | think that you should resolve your family affairs on your
own."
He did not have any connections or relationships with the Quinton family at all. Graham was merely an
acquaintance that he had met once in the past, moreover, Adam had already offended him earlier because of
the pebble.
Even though Aurora was quite beautiful and had a very perfect figure, she also had a very aggressive and
reckless character. 2
Besides, her beauty had nothing to do with him. She was not his wife, and she was not going to sleep with him. 7
Hence, there was no reason for Charlie to help the Quinton family. 1
Nevertheless, Graham was not willing to give up on this perfect opportunity to save his family just like that. He
quickly bowed down before Charlie as he said, "Mr. Wade, | am begging you. Please tellhow | can save my
family." 1
Graham was very respectful toward Charlie and assumed a very humble posture as he bowed at a ninety
degrees angle in front of Charlie.
Still, Charlie remained unmoved.
When Graham saw that Charlie was indifferent to his request, his heart flipped, and he knelt down on the ground
immediately.
When Aurora saw what her father was doing, she knelt down beside him without any hesitation at all.
As she knelt in front of Charlie, she pleaded very pitifully, "Mr. Wade, | was too reckless earlier. | am sorry if |
annoyed or offended you in any way, please forgive me. The fate of the Quinton family is in your hands. Please
help us." 2
After saying that, Aurora turned around and looked at Adam who had a blank expression on his face. She slapped
him across the face before scolding him." Adam! This is all your fault. You caused all these disasters by bringing
that weird and evil thing into our family! You even offended Mr. Wade when he is the only one who might be able
to help us! Kneel down before Mr. Wade and ask for his forgiveness and mercy right now!" 2
Adam was really frightened and at a loss for words.
He would never have expected that the chalcedony pendant that he owned would be the cause of all the
disaster and misfortune the Quinton family had faced over the past year. There was no way he could push the
blto anyone else. Furthermore, he had even offended Charlie, and it seemed as though he was the only one
who would be able to help his family. Adam was afraid that he would really be beaten to death by his grandfather
and relatives if they ever found out
about this.

Consequently, Adam knelt down and begged Charlie in a shaky voice. "Mr. Wade, | was wrong. Mr. Wade, please
forgiveand have mercy on my family! | did not know what was right or wrong. Please forgiveand help
the Quinton family avoid this misfortune that is befalling us. | am begging you..." 1
After that, Adam knocked his head against the ground as he continued begging Charlie.
At this point, Graham's assistant suddenly cback with a gift box in his hand.
Graham took the gift box from his assistant before handing it over to Charlie respectfully. "Mr. Wade, this is the
most expensive jade bracelet in Emerald Court. It is worth more than six million dollars! Please accept this gift as
a token of my gratitude, Mr. Wade." 1
Charlie glanced at the gift box in Graham's hand. It was a fine piece of jade bracelet with an excellent finish, as
clear as crystal glass.
The people around them could not stop themselves from gasping when they saw the jade bracelet.
Everyone knew that this was the most expensive jade bracelet in Emerald Court and that it cost at least six
million dollars! 4
Yet, Graham had actually instructed his assistant to purchase the jade bracelet so that he could give it to Charlie,
even going as far as to beg Charlie to accept his gift.
It was undeniable that Graham's opinion of Charlie was extremely high. 4
However, what was Charlie's identity?
