Half a Healing Pill could allow her grandfather to live for at least another year or two.
Charlie would not only be helping to repay the favor on Claire's behalf, but he would also be allowing Jordan to live for another two more years. Moreover, it would also allow him to fight more and become even more courageous for the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill over the next two years.
Claire was also a little dumbfounded when she heard Charlie's words, but she did not have any doubts due to her trust in him.
So, she said to Charlie, “Honey, can you send me to Aurous International Hotel where both Kelly and Miss Jane are staying? I will send my gift to Kelly first." "Okay." Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, "I will send you to Aurous International Hotel, and I'll go and take care of this batch of goods that I matched, then.”
After sending Claire off, Charlie drove to Shangri-La immediately.
On the way to Shangri-La, Charlie called his father-in-law, Jacob. As soon as the call was connected, Charlie asked him, " Dad, are you still able to contact Zachary Evans who specializes in selling antiques a t Antique Street?"
Jacob said resentfully, “Don’t mention Zachary Evans anymore. After I received some good things, I looked for him several times, but he keeps going missing on me. H e even changed his cell phone number. I heard that this young man is still doing business on Antique Street and the whole world can find him, yet I cannot find him. It's really f*cking strange."
Charlie could not help but laugh dumbfoundedly as he teased, "I guess that Zachary Evans is deliberately avoiding you, then."
Jacob questioned rhetorically, "Why do you think he is avoiding me? Haven't I provided him with plenty of good things?!"
Charlie thought to himself, 'Zachary Evans had to pay a lot of money to collect the rags that you bought, and in one way or another, all the money that Zachary Evans swindled out of people ended up going into your pocket.'
However, Charlie did not say anymore, and he simply smiled as he said, "I guess Zachary Evans is a little unpredictable. I will look for others to inquire about it.'
Jacob asked curiously, "Charlie, why are you looking for Zachary Evans?"
