Attractive lights illuminated the luxurious Wilson family manor. Tonight was Lady Wilson's 70th birthday banquet. Her grandchildren and their spouses gathered around her, presenting glamorous gifts.

"Grandmother," one grandchild began, "I heard you enjoy Chinese tea. I found a century-old pu-erh tea, worth half a million dollars, to give you."

Another added, "Grandma, as a passionate Buddhist, this Buddha sculpture, carved from exquisite Hetian jade, is worth seven hundred thousand dollars."

Lady Wilson giggled, admiring the lavish presents. The atmosphere was harmonious and happy. Suddenly, Charlie Wade, Claire Wilson's eldest grandson-in-law, spoke. "Granny, could you lend me a million dollars? Mrs. Lewis, from the welfare residence, has uremia, and I need the money for her treatment."

The Wilson family was shocked. Not only had he not brought a gift, but he had the audacity to ask for a million dollars!

Three years earlier, Lord Wilson, then alive and well, had brought Charlie home and insisted on his marriage to their granddaughter, Claire. At the time, Charlie was impoverished. Lord Wilson died after the wedding. Since then, the Wilson family had tried to oust Charlie, who remained detached and unbothered by their insults and ridicule, silently living as their son-in-law.

Desperate, he had to ask Lady Wilson for money. Mrs. Lewis, his benefactor, needed at least a million dollars for dialysis and a kidney transplant. He hoped Lady Wilson, in the celebratory mood, might be charitable. However, her laughter abruptly ceased. Her lips curled, her eyes narrowed.

She hurled her teacup to the floor. "Bastard! Are you here to celebrate my birthday or get money?"

Claire rushed forward. "Grandma, Charlie isn't thinking straight, please forgive him." She pulled her husband aside.

Wendy, Claire's cousin, sneered. "Claire, look at the trash you married! Gerald, my future husband, gifted Grandma the jade Buddha. Your good-for-nothing husband came empty-handed and asks Granny for money!"

Gerald White, Wendy's fiancé and the son of a wealthy family, agreed. "You're a disgrace to the family, Charlie Wade!" He found Claire far more attractive than his fiancée, and resented her marriage to Charlie.

"This loser should get out of the Wilson family!" others echoed. "He's ruining Grandma's birthday!"

Humiliated, Charlie clenched his fists. If not for the urgency, he would have left. Remembering his father's words about repaying kindness, he suppressed his anger. "Grandma, whoever saves one life saves the world. Please, I beg your mercy."

Wendy's brother, Harold, interrupted. "Mr. Wade, stop the theatrics. Find your own way to save someone." Harold and Wendy consistently disparaged Claire.

Claire, distressed, explained, "Granny, Charlie's father died when he was eight. Mrs. Lewis raised him. He's deeply grateful and wants to repay her. Please help him"

Lady Wilson's face hardened. "Help him? Divorce him and marry Mr. Jones! Then I'll give him a million dollars." Mr. Jones, from a powerful family, was a persistent suitor of Claire's. Lady Wilson favored a connection with the Jones family.

At that moment, the butler announced, "Mr. Jones sent a birthday gift: a jadeite Buddha amulet worth three million dollars!"

Lady Wilson beamed. "Bring it! Let me see!" The amulet's exquisite quality caused gasps of admiration. Gerald, the giver of the less valuable Buddha statue, felt a pang of jealousy.

Lady Wilson, thrilled, declared, "Mr. Jones is so thoughtful! He'd be a wonderful grandson-in-law!" She looked at Claire. "So, will you consider my offer?"

Claire shook her head firmly. "No, Grandmother. I will never divorce Charlie Wade."

Lady Wilson's fury erupted. "Ungrateful girl! What good is that loser? Get him out of my house! I don't want to see him at my party!"

Charlie, resigned, told Claire, "I'm going to the hospital to see Mrs. Lewis."

Claire replied, "I'll go with you."

Lady Wilson shrieked, "If you leave, you're no longer my granddaughter! Leave with your parents and that loser!"

Charlie said, "Stay here, don't worry about me." Before Claire could react, he left.

Harold threw a dollar at Charlie's feet. "My dear Charlie Wade, if you leave with an empty belly, you'll disgrace our family!" The family erupted in laughter. Charlie left without looking back.

At the hospital, Charlie learned that Mrs. Lewis had been transferred overnight to Fairview Hospital, for treatment costing three million dollars, one million already paid. He was baffled.

A man in a black suit approached. "Young Master! We've finally found you! We're sorry for your suffering."

Charlie's eyes narrowed. "Are you Stephen Thompson?"

Stephen was shocked by Charlie's recognition. "Young Master, you still remember me!"

Charlie asked coldly, "What do you want?"

Stephen explained, "Lord Wade, upon learning of your father's death, never stopped searching for you. Come home and meet him."

Charlie retorted, "Go away, I don't want to see him."

Stephen persisted, "Master wants to compensate you. If you won't come home, he'll give you the biggest business in Aurouss Hilll. And here's a card, the PIN is your birthday." He handed Charlie a Citibank black card. "There are only five of these in the country."

Charlie refused. "No, I don't want it."

Stephen pleaded, "Mrs. Lewis still owes two million dollars"

Charlie accused him of intimidation.

Stephen denied it. "Keep the card, pay the bill."

Charlie asked, "How much is on this card?"

Stephen revealed, "Lord Wade put some pocket money for you. It's a little ten billion dollars."
