<\/h1>\n

Decorative lights adorned the opulent Wilson family mansion, illuminating the festivities for Lady Wilson\u2019s 70th birthday celebration. Surrounded by her grandchildren and their spouses, she was showered with extravagant gifts.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrandma, I heard you have a passion for Chinese tea. I searched high and low to find this century-old pu\u2019er tea, valued at half a million dollars, just for you,\u201d one grandchild proudly presented.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd since you\u2019re a devoted Buddhist, I brought you this exquisite Buddha statue, carved from beautiful hetian jade, worth seven hundred thousand dollars,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n

Lady Wilson chuckled joyfully, her eyes sparkling at the thoughtfully wrapped gifts before her. The atmosphere was filled with warmth and happiness.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, Charlie Wade, Lady Wilson\u2019s eldest grandson-in-law, broke the cheerful mood with a bold request. \u201cGrandma, could you lend me a million dollars? Mrs. Lewis from the welfare home is suffering from uremia, and I need the funds for her treatment\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

A wave of shock swept through the Wilson family. All eyes turned to Charlie, astonished by his audacity. Not only had he come empty-handed to Lady Wilson\u2019s birthday, but he also had the nerve to ask her for a million dollars!<\/p>\n

Three years prior, Lord Wilson had brought Charlie home, insisting on marrying him to their granddaughter, Claire Wilson. At that time, Charlie was destitute and struggling.<\/p>\n

After Lord Wilson\u2019s passing post-marriage, the rest of the Wilson family sought to expel him from their midst. Yet, Charlie remained unfazed by their disdain, living quietly as a live-in son-in-law.<\/p>\n

Today, in desperation, he turned to Lady Wilson for help.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Lewis, who had cared for him and saved his life, needed at least a million dollars for dialysis and a kidney transplant. Hoping for her compassion on her special day, Charlie took a chance. However, just as he expected sympathy, Lady Wilson\u2019s laughter faded, replaced by a frown of indignation.<\/p>\n

She threw her teacup to the floor and exclaimed, \u201cBastard! Are you here to celebrate my birthday or to ask for money?\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire rushed to her grandmother\u2019s side, pleading, \u201cGrandma, Charlie isn\u2019t thinking clearly. Please forgive him.\u201d She pulled her husband aside, anxious.<\/p>\n

At that moment, Wendy, Claire\u2019s cousin, scoffed. \u201cClaire, look at the worthless husband you\u2019ve got! Gerald, my fianc\u00e9, is only my fianc\u00e9 and he still managed to gift Grandma the Jade Buddha. Your husband comes here empty-handed and has the nerve to ask for money!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExactly! Charlie, we\u2019re both grandchildren-in-law of the Wilson family, but you\u2019re the disgrace!\u201d<\/p>\n

Gerald White, Wendy\u2019s fianc\u00e9 and a scion of a wealthy family, chimed in. Although he was set to marry Wendy, he couldn\u2019t help but feel frustrated that someone as stunning as Claire Wilson\u2014a renowned beauty in Aurous Hill\u2014had married a \u201closer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s best if this useless loser leaves the Wilson family now!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes! He\u2019s a disgrace to our family!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe he\u2019s not looking to borrow money but to ruin Grandma\u2019s birthday celebration!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie clenched his fists, enduring the humiliation from the entire Wilson family. If it weren\u2019t for the pressing situation, he would have walked out without a second thought.<\/p>\n

Yet, his father\u2019s words echoed in his mind, reminding him to be grateful for help received and to repay it tenfold. So, suppressing his rising anger and shame, he addressed Lady Wilson, \u201cGrandma, whoever saves a life saves the world entirely. Please, I beg you for mercy.\u201d<\/p>\n

A mocking voice interrupted. \u201cMr. Wade, stop trying to feed Grandma some platitudes. If you want to save someone, figure it out yourself. Who do you think you are, asking for money from Grandma?\u201d<\/p>\n

It was Harold Wilson, Wendy\u2019s brother, who had always held a grudge against Claire for her superiority.<\/p>\n

Claire, feeling awkward, began, \u201cGrandma, Charlie lost his father when he was eight. Mrs. Lewis from the welfare home raised him. He is incredibly grateful to her and wants to help her. Could you please assist him\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Lady Wilson scowled fiercely, \u201cYou want me to help him? Fine! Divorce him and marry Mr. Jones! If you do that, I\u2019ll give him one million dollars right away!\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Jones, whom Lady Wilson mentioned, was Wendell Jones, a suitor of Claire\u2019s who had his eyes set on her despite her marriage. The Jones family was influential in Aurous Hill, far more so than the Wilsons, and Lady Wilson had long desired to ally with them.<\/p>\n

Just then, the butler rushed in with exciting news. \u201cMr. Jones sent a birthday gift for Lady Wilson! It\u2019s a Buddha talisman carved from jadeite, worth three million dollars!\u201d<\/p>\n

Lady Wilson\u2019s face lit up with joy. \u201cBring it to me! Let me see!\u201d<\/p>\n

The butler presented the stunning emerald green talisman, which drew gasps of admiration from the guests. It was flawless, a masterpiece of the finest jade quality.<\/p>\n

Gerald frowned, feeling overshadowed by Wendell\u2019s unexpected generosity.<\/p>\n

Lady Wilson lovingly admired the talisman. \u201cOh, Mr. Jones is so thoughtful! It would be a dream come true if he were my grandson-in-law!\u201d<\/p>\n

She then turned to Claire, asking, \u201cSo, how about it? Will you consider my proposition?\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire shook her head firmly. \u201cNo, Grandma. I will never divorce Charlie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anger flashed in Lady Wilson\u2019s eyes. \u201cYou ungrateful girl! What is that loser good for? Why waste your time with him? Kick him out of my house! I don\u2019t want to see his face at my birthday banquet!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie sighed, filled with disappointment. He no longer wanted to be part of the Wilson family. Turning to Claire, he said, \u201cClaire, I\u2019m going to visit Mrs. Lewis in the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll go with you,\u201d Claire replied quickly.<\/p>\n

Lady Wilson erupted once more, \u201cIf you leave now, you\u2019re no longer my granddaughter! You can take your mom, your dad, and that loser and leave the Wilson family!\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire stared at her grandmother, shocked by her harshness.<\/p>\n

Charlie interjected, \u201cStay here; don\u2019t worry about me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before Claire could gather her thoughts, he turned and walked away.<\/p>\n

Harold laughed mockingly. \u201cHey, dear Charlie, if you leave with nothing, will you beg for food on the streets? If you do, you\u2019ll embarrass our family name! Here, I have a dollar; maybe you can buy a bun!\u201d<\/p>\n

He tossed a dollar bill at Charlie\u2019s feet, and the room erupted in laughter. Charlie gritted his teeth in frustration but left without looking back.<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Upon arriving at the hospital, Charlie headed straight to the cashier\u2019s office, hoping to negotiate a two-day extension for payment.<\/p>\n

However, he learned that Mrs. Lewis had been transferred overnight to Fairview Hospital, the top medical facility in Eastcliff, for treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow much does it cost?\u201d Charlie asked, alarmed. \u201cI\u2019ll find a way to cover it!\u201d<\/p>\n

The nurse replied, \u201cThe total bill is three million dollars. One million has already been paid, but the remaining two million needs to be settled within a week.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho paid the one million?\u201d Charlie inquired.<\/p>\n

The nurse shrugged. \u201cI have no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Confused, Charlie turned to leave when a man in a black suit with gray hair approached him.<\/p>\n

They exchanged glances, and the man bowed. \u201cYoung Master! We\u2019ve finally found you! I apologize for all the hardships you\u2019ve endured over the years!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie narrowed his eyes, coldly responding, \u201cAre you Stephen Thompson?\u201d<\/p>\n

Stephen looked surprised. \u201cYoung Master, you remember me!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie replied, \u201cOf course! I remember all of you! You drove my parents and me out of Eastcliff, leading to their deaths and leaving me an orphan. What do you want from me now?\u201d<\/p>\n

Stephen\u2019s face fell. \u201cYoung Master, Lord Wade was heartbroken to learn of your father\u2019s death. He has been searching for you. Come, let\u2019s go home and see him!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie retorted coldly, \u201cNo thanks. I don\u2019t want to see him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you still angry with your grandfather?\u201d Stephen asked.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely!\u201d Charlie replied vehemently.<\/p>\n
