At this moment, Charlie’s helicopter had already flown into Aurous Hill’s airspace.Isaac asked Charlie, “Young Master, what do you plan to do with Nelson’s daughter?”Isaac said lightly, “Her parents are already gone so she’s an orphan now. Send her to the orphanage directly.”Isaac hurriedly said, “Young Master, I think that it would be best not to leave anything behind…”Charlie waved his hand as he said, “There are some things that a man should do, and shouldn’t do. It is impossible for me to harm a child. Send her to the orphanage. Don’t stop them if anyone from the Webb family comes to take her home.”Isaac nodded before he said, “I think that it will be impossible for the Webb family to come and adopt this child. After all, the Webb family hates Nelson and his wife very much. It is estimated that the Webb family will lose more than half of their family assets this time. It will all be reflected in the stock market tomorrow.”Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “Alright
As she spoke, Mrs. Lewis asked in a low voice, “Charlie, were you the one who took the video posted on the Internet? Were you the one who found the children?”Charlie smiled as he said, “Mrs. Lewis, you think too highly of me. How can I possibly have such great strength and ability?”Mrs. Lewis was silent for a moment before she sighed and said, “I watched the video and it seems as though Max is already dead…I really did not expect this child to take this path…”Charlie also sighed as he said, “I also watched the video. Max had taken the wrong path himself so you shouldn’t be too said either, Mrs. Lewis.”“I know…” Mrs. Lewis replied in a melancholic manner, “I thought that I would definitely pass away before all of you children. I was still thinking that all of you will be there at my memorial service to give me flowers when I’m old and have already passed away…”As she spoke about this, Mrs. Lewis sobbed softly, “I really didn’t expect one of the children to die before me first.
At this time, Joey felt as though the whole world was collapsing in front of him.He could not believe that Max was already dead. However, the picture of Max falling into the river in the video was extremely clear.He knew that Max was really dead. The biggest question right now was, who he was going to take the six hundred and twenty thousand dollars from?If he could not get his money, then he would be finished. He would be completely done for.This was because the five hundred thousand dollars that he borrowed from the usury would continue accumulating interest and this would finally amount to an astronomical figure. He would be heading to his own doom then.Therefore, he immediately dialed 110 to call the police. After the call was connected, he said in a panic, “Police officer, I have been deceived! Someone cheated me out of six hundred and twenty thousand dollars but he is dead now. What should I do?”The police officer replied, “If the person concerned is already dead, the
He had spent two million dollars to buy this car and it had not even been a month since he bought it!What was even worse was that he was so stupid enough to directly hand the crashed car over to that young man!He was initially thinking of making the young man compensate him by giving him a brand new car. However, he really did not expect this young man to die.Now, not only did he not have a new car, but he did not even know where his crashed Phaeton was!As he thought about this, Jayden gritted his teeth before he thought to himself: ‘In any case, I have to find my crashed Phaeton as soon as possible! Otherwise, I would really suffer a big loss!’Fortunately, he had asked his underling to threaten the boy before this. Therefore, he knew where the young man lived.Therefore, he did not dare to delay anything any further. He immediately told Albert, “Don Albert, I have to go out and deal with something first. I’ll come back when I am done.”Albert nodded before he said, “Then,
Joey pursed his lips awkwardly upon the man’s harsh and direct remark. He dared not oppose him, hence he cleared his throat and hurriedly saying, “Alright, buddy, eight hundred then. Come quick! I’m in a hurry.”“Wait, how do I know if you’re cheating me? You are always so unreliable, I f*cking learned my lesson a long time ago! Transfer the money over to me first!”“Okay, alright, buddy, calm down! I’ll transfer the money over to you right now. Hurry, come quick, don’t take so long!”“I’ll go when I receive the money. No money, no talk!”Joey hastily took out his phone, opened the mobile banking app, and was ready to transfer eight hundred dollars to the man, but when he clicked to confirm the payment, he realized that his account had insufficient balance!Only now that he realized he gave almost all of his savings to Max and only left five hundred dollars for himself as his daily expenses. His logic was simple—the more he gave, the more he earned, so he decided to be thrifty to
At this moment, there was a man’s voice from the other end of the line. He was panting heavily while saying in a deliberately low voice, “Hey, quit the nonsense, will you? Just give him the money! Don’t let him ruin the moment!”Joey suddenly became alert and asked, “Janice, why is there a man’s voice over there? Who are you with?”“He’s my cousin! Didn’t I tell you that I injured my waist and am doing the physiotherapy in bed? I can’t get into the right posture, that’s why I’ve let him come and help me.”Joey mumbled an ‘Oh’, remembering that she was doing exactly that when he called the other day, so he did not suspect anything.Janice huffed in annoyance. “Okay, fine, I can’t talk right now, I’ll transfer the money to you right now.”Joey shrieked gleefully and said, “Oh, thank you, Janice baby, thank you so much! I love you!”“Okay, that’s enough, I’ll hang up now!”After ending the call, she indeed transferred five hundred and twenty dollars to Joey as promised.Overjoyed,
Jayden was in the midst of being upset, but this deadbeat loser dared to challenge him while squatting in front of his car! Without a word, he lifted his leg and kicked Joey to the ground. Then, before Joey could turn around and get back up, he rushed to punch and kick him.Joey wailed in extreme pain and cursed angrily, “F*ck, why are you hitting me? Why? Did I offend you or something? Are you f*cking crazy?”Jayden threw a punch directly on his nose, causing his face to cover with his own blood, and cursed, “You’re the crazy one! Why did you squat in front of my car? And what’s with the tone that you talked to me with just now? You’ve earned yourself some beatings!”Then, he hurled a few more punches at Joey that Joey almost passed out in pain, his eyesight became starry and blurry.When Jayden’s men saw the fight, he got out of the car swiftly and joined his boss to beat Joey violently.It was bad enough for Joey to suffer from a single man’s punches and kicks, but he was in
It was very disgusting as Joey’s blood was smeared all over his trousers!Annoyed and furious, Jayden kicked him away and shouted sternly, “Hey, stop it, f*ck! Are you f*cking crazy? Do you really want to die? When did my car become yours?! F*ck!”Joey thought that Jayden was also one of Max’s creditors who was trying to take the car away as collateral, so he desperately rushed forward again, clinging to Jayden’s leg, and shouting, “No, this car is mine! It’s mine! You can’t take it!”Jayden was extremely agitated by now. He grabbed Joey’s collar, slapped him multiple times, and cursed, “Are you F*cking crazy? Didn’t you see that I have the key? When did my car become yours?”Joey wailed loudly, “No! This is Max’s car! He owes me six hundred thousand dollars and I want to repay my debt with this car. No, you can’t drive it away! I’ll be so dead if you do!”“Motherf*cker!” Jayden punched him on his face again and shouted, “You really are out of your f*cking mind! Listen, this is my
Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h
Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des
As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e
Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his
Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.
Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
