Elaine ground her teeth and said, “Charlie, why don’t you look for an opportunity to beat up their entire family severely instead? It would be best if you could break all of their legs so that the five of them could just spend their days sitting in a wheelchair inside the villa every day?”Charlie asked her, “If they decide to report me, I will definitely end up in prison. I do not mind at all. However, if I am locked up in prison, what are you going to do if they come here to try and beat you up?”Elaine was shocked when she heard this.She had to admit that what Charlie said made perfect sense.The Wilson family had a larger number of people compared to them. If Charlie was around, they probably would not dare to come and provoke them. However, if Charlie was not around, who would be able to protect her then?Jacob?That old b*stard was going to divorce her. So, he would probably be bullying her himself.Besides, he had always been a useless and pathetic person. His legs would
Charlie did not take the Wilson family too seriously.After all, these people were nothing more than clowns to him.Moreover, he was certain that this group of people would not dare to cause trouble with him.Also, Hannah hated Elaine to the core. Therefore, Charlie predicted that the Wilson family would probably be focusing all of their attacks on his mother-in-law in the future.This was actually a good thing. The wicked should have their own troubles.Therefore, Charlie’s thoughts were all focused on building a vegetable garden for his wife.Zeke was already fully active at this time, and he was going around every vegetable planting base just to buy some good vegetables and fruits.In one afternoon, he had already collected many healthy and green organic plants.Charlie wanted his wife to be able to see the vegetable garden in the courtyard below when she got up in the morning tomorrow. Therefore, he decided to ask Zeke to lead a group of people over here with many fruit and
Christopher was a little embarrassed as he said, “I already borrowed money before entering the detention center. I borrowed as much money as I could possibly borrow, many people have already blocked me now.”Lady Wilson looked at Harold and Wendy before she asked again, “Harold, Wendy, what about the both of you? Don’t you have any friends who would be willing to lend you some money?”“Grandma, you don’t know anything,” Harold said with a gloomy expression on his face. “The news of the Wilson family’s bankruptcy has long been circulating amongst my circle of friends. Now, no matter who I text, the other party would simply ignore me. Even if some of my friends cared to reply to me, they would pretend to be dead as soon as I tried to borrow some money from them.”Wendy also had a depressed look on her face as she said, “Grandma, I cannot borrow any money from anyone at all. If I could borrow money so easily, I would not be using Dabao SOD honey.”Lady Wilson replied, “Why don’t you s
Donald knew that the Wilson family were living in poverty, but he did not know that the Wilson family was so despicable.He was kind enough to provide them with a place to live just so they could be a thorn in Charlie’s side.However, he never expected that the first thing they would do as soon as they moved in was to sell the household appliances in the villa.He snorted angrily, “This family is truly a bunch of smelly dog sh*t! They are worthless, incompetent, and can never get anything done!”The assistant also felt that these people were too lowly for doing these things. Therefore, he asked, “Mr. Webb, do you want me to chase them out of the villa now? If you do not chase them out now, the villa will be destroyed and emptied by them soon!”Donald sighed. He really looked down on this family, but they had already moved into the villa next to Charlie’s house. If he drove them away now, wouldn’t he be showing weakness to Charlie?”Hence, he waved his hand and said, “There is no
After much difficulty in helping to move the television into the other party’s car, they finally received the sixty thousand dollars from the sale of the television.Harold said excitedly, “Our family can go and enjoy a good meal now! How about seafood hotpot?”Christopher hurriedly said, “Yes! I want to eat a few abalones for fun!”Lady Wilson said at this time, “Harold, transfer the money from the sale of the television over to me first.”When Harold heard this, he hurriedly said, “Grandma, you can leave the money in my hands. You don’t have to worry about it.”After going through so many ordeals, Lady Wilson only had one thought in her mind. She had to keep all the money herself. Otherwise, she would not have any sense of security at all.So, she yelled at Harold, “When is it your turn to call the shots in my house? Have you already forgotten who won the right for us to live in the villa at Thompson First in the first place?”The expression on Harold’s face became very ugly w
When she thought about the fact that she had probably contracted some disease, Hannah felt the itching sensation getting even stronger.She panicked as she thought to herself: What if she was really sick? She had already reunited with her husband now. It would be difficult for her to hide it from him if she was really sick. What would happen if he found out about it?What was even more frightening was the fact that both of them had already engaged in sexual intimacy when they were spending the night at the Webb family villa yesterday. At that time, her husband, Christopher, did not prepare any precautionary measures at all. What would she do if she had also infected him?This way, wouldn’t he find out that she had accompanied someone else when she was at the coal mine?As soon as she thought about this, Hannah decided to go to the hospital for a checkup early in the morning the next day. She would be lucky if she was not sick.If she was sick, she would have to quickly find a way
This was because all the doctors clearly warned people with sexually transmitted diseases not to touch any seafood at all! That would not only aggravate the symptoms, but it might also cause an erosion.Hannah was trembling in fright!She had not held back, and she had eaten so much seafood just now. Wouldn’t she be down with bad luck tonight…At this time, Wendy took a piece of sea cucumber before she placed it in Hannah’s bowl. After that, she said, “Mom, you have suffered a lot a while ago. You should eat more sea cucumber to nourish your body.”Hannah felt goosebumps rising on her body as soon as she saw the sea cucumber.After that, she felt as though her itch was getting even more serious.She hurriedly returned the sea cucumber to Wendy. She was panicking and felt very uncomfortable.At this time, the heat from the six small hotpots had already turned the room into a sauna. Hannah was sweating all over, and she felt that her itch was getting worse.She hurriedly stood up
Since this was the first night the Wilson family would be staying in the villa at Thompson First, each of them had a strong ceremonial feeling in their hearts.Lady Wilson summoned everyone to the living room as they all sat on the luxurious European-style sofa. Lady Wilson seemed to have found the same aura she had had when she was still dominating the Wilson Group.She had a smile on her face, but her smile was also filled with prestige.After glancing at everyone, she said unhurriedly, “Today is a staged victory for us. Although the Wilson Group has not regained its former glory, our family has already made a comeback. This alone is already worth celebrating.”Everyone nodded hurriedly. Aside from the ugly expression on Hannah’s face, everyone else was very excited.Hannah was already feeling the side effects of the seafood at this time, and the itching was making her feel extremely restless.Lady Wilson glanced at her with a look of disgust on her face before she said, “Hanna
Ares LLP was the biggest law firm in the States, and only the best of the best were recruited as associates.If Jimmy got to pick ten of their partners, he was basically taking a huge chunk out of their human resources.Moreover, the partners' salaries would be very expensive. With Jimmy included, eleven of them meant over a hundred million US dollars at minimum. Ares would definitely be maimed if they had to pay that much money while losing ten of their elites! Naturally, Jimmy didn't feel confident about achieving that, and he asked Charlie, "Mr. Wade… Don't you think it's too much? Would Nate even agree to that?"Charlie shrugged. "Of course he won't agree if you're the one asking, but he would definitely say yes if it were Julien."Julien almost rolled his eyes.The man was truly ruthless, ready to inflict so much damage at the drop of a hat.Worst of all, he was going to play the villain for Charlie.Still, he said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade! I will pressure him
However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e
The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi
And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J
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
