Chapter 2080

As she was lost in thought, Charlie Wade, who was standing below the helicopter, offered her his hand.

Nanako was surprised by his assistance in disembarking, her heart swelling with sweetness. Although a skilled expert, enhanced by rejuvenation pills, she remained a woman at heart. Charlie Wade's gentlemanly manner made her blush slightly as she shyly accepted his hand, murmuring, "Thank you, Charlie Wade."

He smiled faintly, replying indifferently, "It's fine, I should."

At that moment, Ito Yuuhiko, pushed forward by Ito Emi, exclaimed excitedly, "Mr. Wade, what a surprise to see you again so soon!"

Charlie Wade smiled wryly. "Indeed. How are you, Mr. Ito?"

Ito Yuuhiko clasped his hands respectfully. "I've been well, Mr. Wade, though my health hasn't been the best since my injury. I've had frequent colds, night sweats, and general weakness. With Tokyo's recent chill, I planned a trip to the Maldives to recuperate. I didn't expect your sudden arrival."

Charlie Wade nodded, gesturing toward Jasmine. "Mr. Ito, this is my good friend, Miss Jasmine, Chairwoman of the Moore Clan. She's encountered some trouble, which is why I'm here."

Ito Yuuhiko greeted Jasmine politely. "Hello, Miss Moore. I'm Ito Yuuhiko. Mr. Wade is a guest of the Ito family; as his friend, you are welcome as our guest."

Jasmine bowed slightly. "Thank you, Mr. Ito."

Internally, Jasmine was astonished. She understood the Ito family's immense power in Japan—the most influential family, surpassing even the other powerful clans. Ito Yuuhiko's deference to Charlie Wade further underscored his strength.

Ito Yuuhiko inwardly mused, This Jasmine her beauty, figure, and temperament rival my daughter's. She's certainly among the top beauties. Her closeness to Charlie Wade… could there be a deeper connection? If so, my daughter's chances are even slimmer!

Before he could dwell further, his sister, Ito Emi, urged, "Mr. Wade, it's cold outside. Let's go inside."

Snapping back to reality, Ito Yuuhiko quickly agreed. "Yes, yes! Let's go inside. We'll have tea prepared, and I'll ask the cook to prepare breakfast."

Inside the Japanese-style parlor, Charlie Wade and Jasmine sat together on the floor. Nanako knelt at the tea table, elegantly preparing tea.

Charlie Wade turned to Jasmine. "Jasmine, what happened last night? Please tell me."

Ito Yuuhiko eagerly added, "Miss Moore, I still hold some influence in Japan. Please tell us what happened. The Ito family will help!"

Jasmine bowed slightly. "Thank you, Charlie Wade, Mr. Ito, and Miss Ito."

She continued, "I came to Japan to form a strategic partnership with Nippon Steel. I had several meetings with their vice president. Last night, their chairman agreed to meet and sign the contract. He was in West Domo County, so I drove there. Unfortunately, I was hit by a car and ran off a cliff."

Ito Yuuhiko frowned. "That's odd. The Nippon Steel chairman and I are close friends. He wouldn't seek a midnight contract, nor would he call you to West Domo County. His mansion is near mine, just minutes away. He visited me last night after dinner!"
