The next day, Charlie and Claire packed their luggage, checked out of the hotel, and left Providence, where they had been living for more than a month.The two drove directly to the airport in New York. Just as they were checking the car out at the airport, Charlie received a call from Elaine.Elaine asked him over the phone, “My dear son-in-law, I’m already at the airport. Where are you?”Charlie asked her, “Mom, are you in the VIP building?”“Yes.” Elaine said, “The director of the hospital, Director Camior, sent me here personally.”“Okay.” Charlie responded and said, “Wait for us in the lobby of the VIP building. We’ll be right there.” After hanging up the phone, Charlie also completed the procedures for returning the car and then turned around as he said to Claire, who was waiting, “Let’s go to the VIP building directly. Mom has already arrived.”Claire did not know that her mother had broken her leg again this time and could not help but tease, “My mother is really amazin

At this time, a woman who was about the same age as Elaine and looked like an intellectual then came forward and said to Claire with an apologetic expression, “You must be Claire, right?”Charlie had seen this woman before. She was the director of the Fox family’s hospital who was specially in charge of Elaine. It seemed that she had come over today to help Elaine cover up her lies in front of Claire. When Claire saw her, she nodded in a daze and asked in surprise, “Who are you?”The woman hurriedly said, “I’m your mother’s friend. She has been staying with me in New York these past few days. I’m really sorry, it’s all my fault. I failed to take good care of your mother, so she accidentally fell and broke her leg. Please don’t hold it against me...”When Claire heard this, she quickly said, “Aunt, please don’t say that. My mother’s leg can also be considered an old problem. It has already been broken a few times before, so she might be a little vulnerable to injury. Therefore, I c

The news of the Fox family was very sensational at the beginning, and Elaine was also aware of it.When she saw Kathleen on television for the first time in her capacity as the head of the Fox family to solve the Fox family’s huge crisis, she actually felt very emotional as she thought to herself back then, ‘We are both women, but she is actually in charge of a super financial empire worth trillions of US dollars when she’s only in her twenties. I have lived for fifty years but I don’t even have five hundred thousand dollars in my bank account. God is really unfair!’Elaine had a vivid memory of Kathleen, so she was incredibly excited when she saw Kathleen in person at this moment.However, what Elaine did not know was that Kathleen was actually the one who had given Jacob the Rolls-Royce Cullinan back in Aurous Hill.Kathleen then spoke up and said very politely to Elaine, “Hello, Aunt.”Elaine said excitedly, “Miss Fox, you... you know my daughter and son-in-law?”Kathleen smil

In truth, Kathleen, who was aside, originally felt that it did not matter, but when she saw that Claire seemed to be stopping it on purpose, she also smiled and said, “Aunt Elaine, I’m afraid it won’t look good if we take a photo together in this public place. Why don’t we take a picture together again when we have the opportunity to meet in private in the future?”When Elaine heard this, her originally disappointed mood instantly improved. She thought to herself, ‘My dear son-in-law is really capable, and even Miss Fox is his client. So, it’s inevitable that he will meet up with her again in the future. In that case, it will really be awesome if I can take a picture with Miss Fox at a private gathering when the time comes.’So, she agreed without hesitation and then said with a smile, “Miss Fox, you have to come to Aurous Hill to spend some time when you can. You should come to our house as a guest at that time!”Kathleen nodded and said with a smile, “No problem, Aunt Elaine! I wi

Claudia nodded gently and said seriously, “Okay, Charlie. Thank you, Charlie...”Stephanie, who was aside, also smiled and said, “Charlie, don’t forget that Claudia’s mother is also from Aurous Hill. Speaking of which, Aurous Hill is also Claudia’s natal home.”Charlie smiled and said, “Is that so? Do you have any relatives in Aurous Hill?”“Not anymore.” Claudia shook her head and said, “Both my grandparents have passed away, and I have an uncle who is abroad. I’ve not had much contact with him, so I basically do not have any relatives left. I can’t even pronounce the names of some of my distant relatives whom I haven’t met before.”Charlie smiled and said, “It’s okay, you still have Mrs. Lewis, Stephanie, and me. We are all your relatives.”Claudia was moved and nodded heavily. At this time, Charlie introduced to Mrs. Lewis, “By the way, Mrs. Lewis, let me introduce my mother-in-law to you.”With that said, he gestured toward Elaine as he said to Elaine, “Mom, this is Mrs. Le

Secondly, he felt emotional at the great turnaround in his life.Ever since he was reduced to trash that was trampled on by everyone at Lady Wilson’s birthday banquet, his life had really bottomed out before he could finally soar to the sky. At this moment, the captain walked into the cabin from the cockpit and said very politely, “Distinguished guests, I’m the captain of this flight. I’m very happy to serve you today. We have about eleven hours of flight, and we can take off if you’re ready.”Elaine subconsciously took out her cell phone. She wanted to ask the captain to start all over from the beginning, but she had no choice but to give up when she thought of how there were still many other people around. However, she still wanted to show off a little, so she said to Claire, “Claire, call your father and tell him to hurry up and get ready. Ask him to pick us up at the airport in the Rolls-Royce.”Claire said helplessly, “Mom, didn’t you hear what the captain just said? We have

Elaine stood at the roadside of the exit at the airport and kept calling Jacob. However, her calls could not get through.She cursed, “This damn Jacob! I don’t know where he has gone. He’s not answering my calls!”Claire asked her, “Mom, are you sure you told him what time to come?”Elaine said in exasperation, “Of course, I told him clearly. He also promised me over the phone. I don’t know why he hasn’t shown up and isn’t answering my calls. He’s really unreliable!”Claire also hurriedly took out her cell phone and called Jacob, but as Elaine had mentioned, he still did not answer his phone. She said with a very nervous expression, “Dad couldn’t have met with an accident, right? It’s not his bedtime yet, so why isn’t he answering our calls?”Charlie hurriedly comforted, “Honey, don’t be so negative. Dad is in good health, so how could he have met with an accident? Perhaps it’s just because he has fallen asleep. I think we should go home first and take a look!”“Yes!” Claire qu

The taxi driver was also a little angry. His eyes opened wide in anger as he said, “I smoked when the car was parked. I didn’t smoke when you came into the cab. The taxi company rules stipulate that we aren’t allowed to smoke in front of the passengers. I didn’t violate the rules, did I? You will only be taking my car for ten minutes, at most. Aren’t you going to allow me to smoke at other times?” Elaine said angrily, “Get this clear, the taxi is your service place, and you have to keep your service place clean, with fresh air. Is it reasonable for you to make the whole place smell so strongly of cigarettes?”The taxi driver said angrily, “This service place is provided by the taxi company, not me. I am simply the driver. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to the taxi company to complain then.”With that said, the taxi driver muttered in dissatisfaction, “It’s just cigarettes, what’s the big fuss? Doesn’t your husband smoke?”Elaine rolled her eyes at him and replied, “He
