Reuben was gravely distraught now. 6
Never did he expect that his grandfather would still curry favor with Charlie even if he had to offend Dylan during the process, i
Reuben was not a fool. He could see that the reason why his grandfather took Charlie so seriously was that he was a little addicted to the Rejuvenating Pill. 6
In other words, instead of gripping the olive branch that Dylan and the Koch family had tossed at them, his grandfather would rather get on good terms with Charlie. This proved that the old man no longer cared about the future of the family nor the wealth they could generate, but rather how many more years he could live, s
Otherwise, he would never have given up the Koch family’s offer and chosen Charlie.
This made Reuben extremely disappointed and upset.
First of all, Lord Moore had given up the opportunity offered by the Koch family, and this meant that the Moore family had lost a good chance to rise above and beyond, i
Secondly, if Lord Moore was given another
Rejuvenating Pill because of him taking Charlie’s side, the old man would live even longer than anticipated, wouldn't he?
If his grandfather kept on living, when would his father inherit the Moore family?
If his father couldn't inherit the family fortune in the near future, when would his turn of inheritance come?
No, he didn't want the old man to live another thirty or forty years, he would be so devastated!
He was almost 30 years old this year, and his father was in his early 50s. If his grandfather died 30 years later, his father would be in his 80s when he inherited the family, s
If his father lived for another 8 or 10 years, by the time he inherited the family, he would be in his 60s or 70s.
