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
Donald did not care much about the villa in the first place. It would certainly not be possible for him to give the villa to the Wilson family. After all, he was not a fool. However, simply allowing them to live for ten years in the villa was not a big problem for him.Thus, Donald replied indifferently, “Alright, then. Ten years it is. However, you have to concentrate and focus on getting things done for me. I will definitely reward you if we can deal with Charlie as soon as possible.”Lady Wilson hurriedly pulled her family members as they bowed in front of Donald. She was excited beyond words.The other members of the Wilson family were also very excited. The Wilson family had already made a comeback.The Wilson Group was not only saved, but they would also be able to live in a villa at Thompson First. This situation was much better compared to the peak of their lives at their best.Moreover, Donald had also promised to support the Wilson Group. The Wilson Group would probably
Before it was dark, Christopher and Hannah were already making sound waves in their guest room.Christopher had been very depressed during this period. Therefore, he was naturally very impatient after getting separated from his wife for such a long time.Hannah naturally loved her husband very much. She originally thought that she would never be able to see him again in her life. However, she truly did not expect to have the opportunity to return to his embrace now. Hence, she was naturally full of joy.This was supposed to be a very harmonious and enjoyable moment, but Hannah suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart.She felt a little down because she felt that her husband’s sexual ability could not be compared to that of the dirty supervisor’s at all…This was absolutely depressing.One was the person that she loved, and the other was the person that she hated and despised. However, if she were to put these facts aside and talk about the sexual intercourse itself, even two of
Christopher frowned as he said, “Are we going to let the ones with the last name Parker and Wade off so easily?”Hannah replied, “I can create trouble for them in other ways. Besides, the Webb family is already prepared to deal with them behind the scenes. Therefore, I will definitely be able to avenge myself. No matter what it is, we should not mention or bring up this matter again.”In fact, Hannah was a little worried in her heart. If the coal mine was mentioned, and if her past with the supervisor of the coal mine was exposed, how was she going to maintain a foothold in the Wilson family?Christopher felt that what Hannah said made sense. Therefore, he nodded gently before he said, “Okay then, everyone should understand and pretend not to know about this matter in the future.”***The next day, the Wilson family of five returned to Aurous Hill in a car arranged by the Webb family.On the way back, the Webb family did not arrange for a private jet to send them back. They did n
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
