The Charismatic Charlie Wade - Season 4 Episode 65

Barbara gaped in utter shock and asked frantically, “What?! Anthony, what are you talking about? We’ve been friends for so many years, how could you cut ties with us just like that?”

Anthony’s serious voice sounded, “Barbara, I am very grateful for Brother Wilson’s help. When I needed it the most, he was a friend indeed, and I’ve repaid the favors to your family for so many years without asking for anything in return. Gratitude and consideration are my principles, you know that, right?”

“Of course!” Barbara answered. “But I don’t understand, why do you want to make a clean break with us all of a sudden? If it’s my mistake, tell me, I’ll correct it!”

“No, Barbara, it’s not your fault. Actually, it’s your son, Kenneth.”

“Kenneth?” Barbara said in surprise, “What about him? Did he offend you? But he’s in Aurous Hill right now!”

“Yes. I’m in Aurous Hill too,” Anthony said earnestly, “And I saw Kenneth. To be honest, he didn’t do anything to me, but he offended my savior. The man is very important to me, so much so that I owe him my life. So, for the sake of gratitude to my savior, I have to draw a line with the Wilson family. Sorry.”

Barbara’s heart skipped a beat in panic.

Oh dear, had her son actually enraged Anthony in Aurous Hill? That bastard!

Anthony was a well-known Chinese medicine master in the country that was famously acquired among the prominent figures for his service. In fact, there was a saying that circulated in the social circle of dignitaries in Eastcliff that went ‘Anthony Simmons can outsmart the Grim Reaper and extend your life!’. It meant that as long as Anthony took the shot, even a dying person could live for a long while. This was simply a dream for the rich and powerful!

Stanley Ho, the Macau billionaire businessman, had spent millions of dollars on his medical bills alone to extend his life using various high-tech methods. To him, life was more precious than his money!

What could you do if you had a hefty wealth but your life was coming to an end? You would end up the same as the rest of the people, laying in the wooden coffin and buried six feet under.

Hence, the more powerful and rich a person was, the more desperately he yearned for Anthony.

All the rich and powerful in Eastcliff were envious of the Wilson family due to their close friendship with Anthony. It would be a very difficult task to seek treatment from Anthony no matter how much they were willing to spend, but due to their acquaintance with Anthony, he would visit the Wilson family annually for a medical checkup and treatment.

Barbara’s husband, Kenneth’s father, had been diagnosed with cancer a decade ago. Thanks to Anthony’s effortless care and treatment, his life was prolonged for a few more years, and he had only passed away last year at the age of 86.

Barbara hoped that she could live to her nineties or even over a hundred years old with the help and support from Anthony, but instead, she received the bad news that knocked her socks off. She frantically pleaded, “Anthony, please, I beg you, please don’t lower yourself to Kenneth’s level and be offended by him. He is your junior, after all. I hope you can forgive him for whatever he did you wrong by. I’ll call him later and teach him a lesson, then I’ll ask him to apologize to you…”

Anthony cut in flatly, “Never mind, Barbara. It doesn’t matter. If I’m the one whom he offended, I can surely forgive him, but no, he messed with the wrong person. He offended my savior. So, this is the end of the conversation, I won’t change my mind. I wish you good health and a long life. Goodbye!”

Anthony ended the call immediately, switched off his phone, and said, “Xyla, lock the door, let’s go back to the hotel.”

Meanwhile, Kenneth and Christopher were on the way back to the Wilson family villa.

Kenneth rushed to the living room as soon as they returned to the villa, poured himself a glass of water, took out the viagra, read the instructions, and asked, “So, one at a time?”

Lady Wilson blushed timidly when she saw him directly taking out the medicine.

Hannah even looked to the other side out of awkwardness.

Wendy, on the other hand, was a little excited.

Kenneth had been very cold and distant to her ever since he had become impotent.
