She cried and muttered, “My son! My grandson! Both of you have suffered a lot of grievances!”Harold looked like a very aggrieved child. He wiped the tears off his eyes and choked as he said, “Grandma, you don’t know what kind of hardships my father and I have experienced during this period. This is the worst hardship and torment that I have ever suffered in my life.”Christopher also sighed as he said, “Ahh, it is all the same. We should not talk about all those things anymore. Talking about it will only add to our troubles.”Lady Wilson nodded before she hurriedly asked, “By the way, Christopher, what is going on? Who was the one who released us on bail?”“I don’t know…” Christopher shook his head before he said, “Both Harold and I were also suddenly released from the detention center. After that, they used their car to send us here before they asked us to wait here. We do not know who they are.”At this time, the man who picked Lady Wilson and Wendy up from the detention center
When Harold heard the other party rejecting his request directly with the excuse that she was Damien’s personal flight attendant, he was extremely embarrassed, and he was filled with jealousy.The rich and wealthy were indeed rich and wealthy. They not only had their own private jet, but they also had their own personal flight attendant. This really made people feel a lot of envy and hatred.When could he ever get to this point?The flight attendant ignored them before she swayed her hips and went to the front of the cabin. Damien kept his eyes closed the whole entire time and could not be bothered to talk to the Wilson family at all.Therefore, the Wilson family was also a little bored.They were all looking forward to the situation after arriving at Sudbury. Although they had never heard of Damien’s name before, they had certainly heard of Donald’s name.Donald was the eldest son of the Webb family and the current heir of the Webb family. Therefore, it could be said that he was
Why was the next generation of a big family not as good as the previous generation?Actually, this had a lot to do with the environment they lived in.The older generation was born into a humble life. They had to earn their own money to pay for each of their own meals, and they worked hard to earn every single cent they spent. So, during that time, the people who were able to build up a family business would never be considered mediocre. They were all regarded as elites.However, after they had established and made something out of themselves, their sons would already be living a full and abundant life from the moment they were born. Since they had adequate food and clothing, they did not need to work or fight hard to survive. Therefore, their instincts would naturally be weaker, and they would be less aggressive.By the time their grandson was born, he would have already been born with a silver spoon in his mouth. They would not go out to work hard to earn their keep. Instead, it
During this period, Christopher truly hated Hannah to the core!After all, to a man, there was nothing more painful than getting betrayed by his own beloved woman.When Hannah had disappeared, Christopher had fallen for Charlie’s words, and he was muddleheaded enough to actually believe that Hannah had eloped with a gigolo.Also, Hannah had held the entire family’s money with her at that time. Therefore, Christopher was even more angry and furious with Hannah.So many days and nights had already passed, but every time he thought of Hannah, he really wanted to catch her and beat her to death.However, he also knew that he would never be able to meet Hannah again in this life since she had already run away with their money. It would also be possible for her to have fled abroad with the money.He never expected that he would meet Hannah, whom he hated so deeply, in the Webb family villa in Sudbury today!Hence, Christopher did not think much and rushed at Hannah without any hesitat
Both of them had felt the same as their father, Christopher, not too long ago. They had initially hated their mother who had been so selfish when she fled with their family money, often scolding and cursing at her during this tough and difficult time.It was only until today that they found out that their mother was actually suffering too. Moreover, she had suffered even more compared to them. At the very least, the four of them had only suffered a little injustice in the detention center. However, Hannah had had to endure extensive torture and suffering in the black coal mine.The expression on Lady Wilson’s face was very ugly at this time.She did not sympathize with Hannah at all, however, she felt a lot of pity and sympathy for the money that they had lost because of Charlie!At this point, the old lady walked toward Christopher in rage before she slapped his face severely when he totally did not expect it at all.Christopher was stunned when he got slapped.He looked at h
Lady Wilson was ecstatic when she heard this.She did not truly care about whether Donald would be able to kill Charlie or not.What she really cared about was the fact that Donald needed their help now. Therefore, this would simply mean that the Wilson family would be able to rely on the Webb family from now on.The Wilson family was already on the verge of ruin, but since they were now partners who were collaborating with the Webb family, there was a chance for the Wilson family to make a comeback.Moreover, she might not only be able to bring the Wilson family back to life, but the Wilson family could most likely be even more powerful compared to when it was at its peak and heyday!At this time, Lady Wilson opened her mouth as she spoke to Donald, “Mr. Webb, my granddaughter, Claire, is also running a construction and refurbishing business, and this is in direct competition and conflict with the Wilson Group. If you can bring the Wilson Group back to life, we will be able to be
Donald believed in Feng Shui, fortune, and magnetic fields.He firmly believed that if a person had good Feng Shui and good fortune, the person would naturally be in a good mood, and everything would go smoothly for the person as well.However, if a person’s mood was affected and he was very upset every day from morning to night, he would not be able to concentrate on anything, and he would certainly lose interest in everything. He would not be able to taste good wine, and a delicious meal would not be delicious to him.Over time, this person’s magnetic field would be affected by his negative emotions. This would then affect the person’s Feng Shui and fortune, which would eventually affect his own physical health.In Feng Shui, everything that irritated a person was called ‘killing energy’.If it was too loud, it was called ‘sound killing energy’. If it was too bright, it was called ‘light killing energy’. If the heart was irritated or flustered, then it was called ‘emotion killin
The A-series villas at Thompson First were worth more than one hundred million dollars, and it was the most expensive villas in the whole of Aurous Hill.For an average family, this was a figure they would never be able to attain in this lifetime.For an ordinary rich family, it might be possible for them to afford this villa if they worked a little harder in this lifetime.For an extremely wealthy family, they would have to work hard for at least ten years to be able to have the opportunity to live in this kind of villa.However, to the Webb family, this kind of villa was just a drop in the bucket.Even though the Webb family was currently experiencing major difficulties, they had a value of hundreds of billions of dollars. Therefore, they would not mind spending one hundred million dollars on a villa.Moreover, Donald knew very well that the Webb family would be buying this villa for the Wilson family to live in. However, this was not equivalent to giving the villa to the Wilso
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
If Charlie really did get Jimmy to stay, who knew what other rubbish Jimmy would spout.As for Jimmy, he was actually surprised Charlie was asking him to stay, and his instincts told him that Charlie definitely didn't mean well.Not only that, he was on foreign soil—wouldn't he be defenseless if Charlie called in his friends to beat him up?Hence, he shook his head without hesitation as he said, "I'm sorry, but my sister-in-law is quite keen for me to leave, so I have no reason to stay and add to her problems. And it is her big day. I can afford to let her save face instead of spilling the beans on her all at once.""Oh, but you were complaining about the lack of important people just now!" Charlie quickly interjected. "It just so happens that we have a big-shot on his way here, and he's a good friend of the groom. When I told him about you over the phone, he said to keep you here no matter what it took, since he would like to talk to you face to face."Jimmy frowned. "What, are y
And with those words, Jimmy turned to leave.Despite threatening Matilda, there was no such agreement, and he knew that Matilda was well aware of that.Regardless, the only strategy he had in mind when he came to Oskia was harassment. As such, he simply came up with a lie to make Matilda look bad in public. All it took from there was just for one person to relay what he had said—even if it were all lies, Matilda's character would still be called into question.He made himself very clear so that Matilda would understand that if she didn't give in, his family would keep hounding her to take their two pounds of flesh. Even if she wouldn't surrender the stateside estates and human resources of Smith Group Corporate Law, they would still claim a sizable chunk.But if that failed too, they would just have to destroy Matilda's reputation along with Smith Group Corporate Law.Either way, they were not letting her off easy!And reading that much from Jimmy's behavior, Matilda snapped co
Jimmy didn't expect Matilda to break down the share ownership of Smith Group Corporate Law to such detail, and he hollered as he was starting to feel embarrassed, "Now, you're just being irresponsible, Matilda. My father gave my brother a million to start the law firm in the first place, and they had agreed that the family would have a stake, albeit only at 49%, to not deny your decision-making as a startup. Or are you denying it?"Matilda immediately became furious and snapped, "Bullshit! That was just a loan of one million, and the agreed term was three years. However, your brother returned it in one! I even asked him to return the money with every single one of his siblings watching, since you might all get skeptical, yet suddenly, you're calling it an investment?""You said he's returned it? Well, what proof do you have?" Jimmy quickly shot back. "Our entire family can testify that the money hasn't come back to us!""So, this is how you're going to play it?" Matilda smirked. "Th
