Chapter 4299
Jordan became a little emotional and said gravely, "I only have one or two years left. I've accepted my fate after going through so many ordeals. Money is no longer the most important thing anymore."
Charlie was pleased and nodded at Jordan's words. "I know it wasn't easy for you to be where you are today. Now, you're already so old. You've earned so much money, but in the end, it's meaningless to you. To top it off, your son wanted to kill you because of the money. I can't help but feel sorry for you." Jordan sighed, melancholy written all over his face. "You're right, Mr. Wade. Money is indeed meaningless for someone my age."
Charlie smiled and said, "It is, but I can give you a chance to use that money."
Jordan was startled for a moment. He quickly asked, "Mr. Wade... What do you mean?"
Charlie replied indifferently, "Haven't you always wanted to buy the Rejuvenating Pill? If I remember correctly, you made a bid of two hundred and ten billion US dollars in the auction in Aurous Hill."
Jordan wasn't sure what Charlie meant, but he became so excited that he could barely control himself. "Y-Yes... Mr. Wade, I ...I did make a bid of two hundred and ten billion US dollars... W-Why did you suddenly mention that?"
Jordan was over the moon.
Charlie gave him a meaningful smile, but did not answer his question. Instead, he turned to Kathleen and said, "Miss Fox, I hope you will succeed in taking over as the new head of the Fox family and owner of all of Lord Fox's assets. Once you succeed, I can make an exception and give you a chance to buy a Rejuvenating Pill to express my congratulations."
'Rejuvenating Pill!'
'Charlie's willing to sell Kathleen a Rejuvenating Pill!'
'If I can have it, I can live for another decade or two...'
'Th-This... Is this a blessing in disguise?!'
However, Jordan's worries rose again.Based on what Charlie said, the man intended to give his granddaughter the chance to buy the Rejuvenating Pill. Not him, but Kathleen. Not only that, Charlie intended to give it to Kathleen only after she succeeded as the new head of the Fox family and had full control of the family's assets.
This would be a test of his granddaughter's character and kindness.
If she did treasure Jordan as her dearest grandfather, she would be willing to pay for the Rejuvenating Pill. But if she turned out to be the same as Spencer or was too stingy to pay, Jordan's hopes would be dashed once more.
Immediately, he turned to Kathleen with eyes full of eager anticipation. Fortunately, Kathleen did not disappoint him.
She asked Charlie excitedly, "Mr. Wade, are you serious? Are you willing to make me an exception and give me a chance to buy the Rejuvenating Pill?" Charlie nodded curtly. "I'm a man of my words."novelbin
He then glanced at Jordan and
added, "You made a bid of two
hundred and ten billion US dollars in
the auction. I'll round it up to two
hundred billion as a favor for Miss Fox."
Kathleen didn't hesitate to seal the deal. 'I'll buy it!"
