Making Millions With The Eyes Of God by Eric Gus

At this time, Charlie quickly asked out of curiosity, "What do you mean?" 5

Jasmine replied in a serious manner, "Mr. Wade, you look like a very simple and casual person but you're actually

very skillful and capable. However, despite being very capable, you're not arrogant at all. After getting to know

you better, | realize that you won't try to show off your skills or abilities but if anyone touches your limit or

challenges you, you won't hesitate to show them what you are capable of. Moreover, the methods that you use

to counter-attack or defend yourself is usually very unpredictable and quite unlike how an ordinary person would

react." 4

After that, Jasmine continued speaking, "Most importantly, | really don't understand why you'd choose to become

a stay-hson-in-law of the Wilson family when you're actually so capable and talented. The Wilson family is

just a regular and second or probably third-rate family. | think you can definitely do much better because you

have so much potential in you. Don't you feel that way at all?"

Charlie did not answer her question but he asked her another question instead. "Then, where do you think |

belong if not in the Wilson family?"

Jasmine replied seriously, "I think that someone like you should be married to a prestigious top-notch

family. | believe that many powerful and wealthy families would be dying to marry their daughters to you

because you are so skillful and capable."

At this time, Charlie smiled before he replied, "What's the point in that? If someone were to get married because

of the family's interest, then there would be no element of love in the relationship at all. Why would someone in

a powerful and wealthy family be willing to marry a person she has no feelings or affection for? Moreover, if the

guy marries into her family, wouldn't he be living under the control and command of her family for the rest of his

life?" 3

Jasmine replied naturally, "Of course! This has always been the way it is in all the powerful and wealthy families.

They're always particularly strict with their daughters. For instance, the children of powerful and wealthy families

would always be required to attend the top aristocratic school in the city to have excellent knowledge and good

social etiquette. Our families have also strictly forbidden us from contacting any members of the opposite sex

and we're not allowed to fall in love with someone else on our own."

"What?" Charlie asked in surprise. "We're in the twenty-first century now! Why does it seem as though the

wealthy and powerful families are more feudal compared to those people in the past?" 5

"This is not feudalism," Jasmine replied in a serious manner. "This is the survival rule for upper class families."

"The law of survival?" Charlie asked. "What do you mean by that?"

At this time, Jasmine quickly explained, "We need to have joint partnerships and collaborations, and we also

exchange resources with other prestigious families. Therefore, there is only one rule in the Moore family, that is,

all direct members of the Moore family have to obey the marriage arrangements that the elders in the Moore

family decides on. There's no room for any discussion on this matter." 7

"In the past, the Moore family had even set a rule that the members of the Moore family would have to

intermarry within the family, with all marriages arranged between the cousins. Therefore, it is normal for one

cousin to marry another to prevent wealth dilution or money from leaving the family. However, since there's now

a prohibition on marriages between relatives within three generations in this country, this rule has already been

cast aside. However, there are sof my blood relatives who still marry our own cousins abroad." 7

"Our family rule has already been greatly relaxed and we're no longer required to marry our own cousins.

However, we're still required to marry someone from a similarly wealthy and powerful family. Even though the

other party's family cannot be more powerful than our own, their status should not be much lower than our

own." 1

After that, Jasmine sighed as she continued speaking,

"Our family believes in the value of cooperation and they'll always find ways so the men from other families

would marry into our family and similarly, the woman from other families would have to marry into our family. All

members of the Moore family would have to focus on the interest of the Moore family as a whole and we're not

allowed to disobey any marriage arrangements made by the elders in the family." 2 Charlie sighed when he

heard Jasmine's explanation. After that, he said, "It seems as though there are also many troubles that you face

as a member of a powerful and wealthy family. It seems as though the money a person has, the greedier they

become." 1

Charlie knew that he would also be placed in a similar position if he were to return to the Wade family now. The

Wade family would definitely try to exert control over his life and they might even look down on the Wilson

family. If things got complicated, Charlie believed that the Wade family would also attempt to force him to

divorce Claire just so they could get him to marry another woman from a similarly wealthy and powerful family

instead. 4

It seemed as though he really should not return to the Wade family.

As he thought about this matter to himself, Charlie suddenly asked, "By the way, Jasmine, | think you're also at

the age where you should be getting married. Has your family already arranged for your marriage yet?" 1

Jasmine shook her head before she replied, "Well, the elders were initially making the necessary marriage

arrangement for my cousin Reuben. His marriage was decided on a long tago and my grandfather has

arranged for him to marry the daughter of a very wealthy and powerful family in the northern region. However,

when Grandpa was about to arrange my marriage, he fell seriously ill and they decided to postpone this plan

instead. Since my grandpa is already recovering, | believe he'll start planning my marriage soon..."
