After he was done speaking, Cadfan then said, "Jaime, you have to help me keep a close eye on Sophie's every move during this time. You have to investigate clearly to find out where she goes, who she meets with, and what she does. Do you understand?"
Jaime hurriedly said, “I got it, Grandpa. Don't worry!"
"Okay." Cadfan sighed and said, "What I'm most worried about now is not whether she will be able to d o this business well or not. What I'm most worried about is whether she will sell all of the ocean shipping business' fixed assets as soon as the business is transferred over to her... So many ships, so many port resources, and the rights to the canal passage can all b e sold for hundreds of billions of dollars. So, you have t o pay attention and keep a lookout for the slightest hint of trouble!"
The expression on Jaime’s face turned cold in an instant as he said, "Grandpa, I'll definitely keep an eye on her!"
After hanging up the phone, Jaime felt extremely worried and unhappy.
'I’ve been working so hard for so long, and I even had t o flatter and please Grandpa after my mother and younger sister met with the mishap...’
'But what did Grandpa give me in return?’
'Nothing!'
'I did not gain any real benefits at all!’
'He only fed me some illusions, but I do not even know whether I'll ever have the opportunity to reap the benefits!'
'Sophie, on the other hand, took advantage of the opportunity to cause a scene because she had something on Grandpa, and she managed to gain such a huge business just like that! This is too unfair!' 7

Meanwhile, Charlie and the others had already arrived at The Heaven Springs.
Since they were going to enjoy some wine whilst chatting with friends, Charlie had naturally chosen this location.
It just so happened that Charlie would also be delegating a portion of the Harker family members to Albert in the future. So, if they were to eat here, Charlie could simply invite both Albert and Isaac to join them for dinner too.
As the young master of the Wade family, Charlie was not being high and mighty in Eastcliff. Instead, he was steadily building up his business in a second-tier city like Aurous Hill. Although things looked very calm on the surface, in truth, Charlie’s power and influence had already extended to every class and inch of land i n Aurous Hill.
This kind of firm and steady manner was the foundation to achieve greater things. Based on Charlie’s approach, he was taking root in the cities along the Yaak River first before eventually promoting his business to the coast through his ocean shipping business. He would be able to take the offensive or defensive as he deemed fit regardless of the domestic or international economic situation in the future.
This also gave Autumn full confidence to join Charlie’s career map.
Aside from Autumn, everyone else present drank a few more glasses of wine because they were all very happy today.
Charlie also drank quite a lot. The alcohol content in the Moutai wine that Albert had prepared was very high. Charlie deliberately did not use his Reiki to dissolve the alcohol in his body. Instead, he allowed the alcohol to stay in his body until he had reached a slightly drunken state.
This slightly drunk feeling made him feel even happier on top of his originally happy mood.
He was very happy because he felt that as long as Yolden and Autumn, the father and daughter duo, were around, his overall arrangement in his ocean shipping business in the future would be absolutely stable! 7
