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
Hannah felt that her itch was increasing, and she felt very uncomfortable. However, there was nothing she could do, and she could only endure it as it was already late at night.Even if she wanted to go to the hospital, she had no money at all. She would have to wait until she sold the coffee machine tomorrow.Since she had no other choice, she could only stand up as she walked up to the bedroom on the second floor with Christopher.As soon as he entered the huge and luxurious master bedroom, Christopher could not help but mutter, “Wife, I feel like getting intimate with you tonight…”Hannah was shocked when she heard this. As she struggled to escape, she said, “Forget it. I am tired. Let’s sleep earlier today.”Christopher pleaded, “Wife, don’t you want to?”Hannah felt very uncomfortable at this time. Therefore, she was obviously not in the mood for it at all. She blurted out, “Since I said no, that means I don’t want to. We will both use our own quilt to sleep tonight!”Altho
When Zeke heard this, he said in excitement, “It is an honor for me to be able to serve you, Master Wade!”After that, Zeke hurriedly said, “Master Wade, I brought more than two hundred plants here with me today. If we were to plant and cultivate all of it today, it will definitely take a long time. Should I get the workers to get to work immediately? It is estimated that we will probably have to work until five or six o’clock in the morning tomorrow.”Charlie nodded before he said, “Okay then, get the workers to start now.”Zeke hurriedly waved his hand at one of the men standing next to him before he blurted out, “Tell the workers to get to work immediately. Tell them to be careful not to damage any of the plants, especially the melons and fruits. Make sure that none of the melons or fruits fall out. If all of you do a good job, I will reward everyone and give each of you a ten thousand dollars red envelope. However, if you do not do a good job and make Master Wade dissatisfied, d
Charlie laughed slightly. It seemed as though Jacob was now very worried that Elaine would find out that Matilda had already returned to Oskia.However, even if he could conceal this thing for a short while, he could not hide it from her for this lifetime.The duration that he could hide this fact from Elaine would depend on the old man’s fortune then.***Lady Wilson was a light sleeper. When she heard the movement outside, she got up from her bed and walked toward the balcony.When she took a look, she realized that Charlie’s house was brightly lit. After taking a closer look, she saw that there were a lot of workers who were planting the fruits and vegetable plants for them!What the hell was this?Shouldn’t they start sowing first if they wanted to plant vegetables? What Charlie was doing was equivalent to moving an entire vegetable plot into his courtyard.A country bumpkin would always be a country bumpkin. He had such a beautiful and good villa but he actually destroye
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
In the first place, Jimmy had come to Oskia to claim a stake in Smith Group Corporate Law, ideally strong-arming Paul and Matilda into splitting the firm in two, with Jimmy taking everything in the States while Paul kept what was left.The way Jimmy saw it, Paul and Matilda were going to be permanently residing in Oskia anyway. There was no way they could manage things over in another country properly, so it was basically returning the firm to the rightful owner.Naturally, Jimmy also knew that despite bearing the Smith family name, the success of Smith Group Corporate Law was all the work of Jimmy's brother and Matilda. Jimmy's father had helped to a certain extent, but that extent of financial support wouldn't amount to an investment at all. No judge in the world would support his claim to the law firm's shares.Therefore, when he learned that Matilda was remarrying, he thought he could seize the moment to cause a scene. Nothing could be better if she and Paul decided to sacrifice
Jimmy deliberately raised his voice as he said coolly, "Oh, but I didn't want to intervene. It's you and your mother who left the States in a split second, taking with you the law firm which bears the Smith family name. Don't you think such behavior is inappropriate?"Seeing the surprised reactions of the guests, Paul promptly retorted, "The law firm uses the Smith family name, but it is my parents' legacy! They worked blood and sweat to build it from the ground up, and as their only son, I have a veto when it comes to decisions. Or did we need your permission to move to Oskia?""Where's your conscience, Paul?" Jimmy pursed his lips. "Even if you don't know how Smith Group Corporate Law was founded, is that the case for you? It would have been a joke if it weren't for my father's connections!"Hell, it's no exaggeration that it was my father who fought to expand the law firm across America, and just using the family name means you're borrowing the family's influence. The family hono
The blonde man's voice drew everyone's attention in an instant.Despite his foreign appearance, he spoke Oskian fluently and walked with a haughty gait, almost as though he was above the rest.Paul's expression turned grim the instant he saw him, and he hurried over with Charlie.Still, before Paul could speak, Charlie stopped him, frowning at the man as he said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate to come slinging personal attacks at someone else's wedding?"The man clearly didn't know Charlie, and he wasn't worried, seeing that he was young.Snorting in disdain, he asked, "You must be from the groom's family, yes? Please tell him that he doesn't deserve my sister-in-law.""It's up to the happy couple to decide that," Charlie retorted quietly. "Deserving someone is no issue as long as they both love each other."The man pursed his lips and looked pointedly around him. "Just look at how simple this wedding is. Forget picking an unassuming city like Aurous Hill—is there a single
Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he
