Christopher’s voice became softer and softer, but Lady Wilson could comprehend him.She shrieked nervously, “Oh no! Who knows what kind of filthy men Hannah slept with at the coal mine?! I think that she isn’t only pregnant but she has also come back with all kinds of weird diseases! Let’s go! I’ll go to the hospital with you for a thorough examination!”As he listened to his mother, deep inside, Christopher also suspected that Hannah had probably infected him with those diseases and he became even more annoyed.Regardless of his annoyance, his top priority right now was to go to the hospital to check if he was indeed infected, so he said quickly, “Mom, how embarrassing it would be for you to accompany me to the hospital. Just give me the money, I can go there on my own.”Lady Wilson said in a stern tone, “No can do. I’d feel uneasy if I don’t go with you. Hush, I’ll go with you, let’s go now!”Then, Lady Wilson immediately got up and prepared to go out.Christopher hesitated, bu
The Webb family was not really willing to believe that The Big Eight had been beaten to death.This was because if this was true, it would only mean that they had a very powerful enemy in the dark.However, they had no idea who this enemy was.Everyone in the Webb family could not believe that Charlie or the people around him actually had such strength.Donald was even speculating whether The Big Eight had accidentally provoked some local top warrior who had been living in seclusion when they went up to Mount Golmin this time.Lord Webb also felt that this could be very possible.He was heartbroken. The Big Eight was not only his old friends, but the prosperity of the Webb family had depended greatly on them. Now that the Webb family had already lost their backup and support, this would very likely cause a huge uproar amongst all the families in the South Region.Everything was just as Lord Webb had expected.The news that the Webb family had dispatched The Big Eight up to Moun
Christopher hurriedly replied, “I will definitely not hide it from you, mother. However, after I go inside, the doctor will surely need to examine and perform a check on me. It will be too embarrassing for me to get examined in front of you. Don’t worry. I will definitely let you know the results after the doctor’s examination. Will that be okay?”Lady Wilson nodded before she said, “You have to show me all the results and reports from the doctor’s examination. I will not forgive you if you dare to hide anything from me!”Christopher kept assuring her repeatedly as he stood up while resisting the itch. After that, he walked into the consultation room.A doctor who was older than him was sitting in front of the computer in the consultation room. When the doctor saw Christopher coming in, he asked him, “Where are you feeling unwell?”Christopher hurriedly replied, “Doctor, my private area feels very itchy. I do not know what is going on, so I want you to take a look at it.”The doct
When Christopher came out of the consultation room with a bunch of test application sheets in his hand, the old lady hurriedly came forward and asked, “What did the doctor say? How is your condition? Is it anything serious?”Christopher originally did not intend to tell the old lady anything. However, he knew that the old lady would certainly want to look at the various examination reports when they got back. So, there would be no way for him to hide this matter from her at all. He looked at his mother before he cried out, “The doctor told me that it is very likely that I have already contracted gonorrhea and syphilis. I also have some inflammation in my private area. He did not rule out the possibility of me contracting AIDS either…”When Lady Wilson heard this, she had a terrified look on her face, and she subconsciously took a step back.Christopher thought that the old lady had lost her balance because she was in shock. Therefore, he hurriedly stepped forward to help and support
Starting from today, Christopher would have to come to the hospital for infusion for the next fourteen days. Moreover, he would have to infuse five to six bottles of medication every day.Christopher hurriedly asked, “Doctor, can the medicine used today stop the itching for me? To tell you the truth, I feel like I am about to die from the itch right now. It is just so irritating and annoying! I do not know what is going on. The more I scratch it, the itchier it feels…”The doctor replied, “It’s normal to suffer from an itch like that when you have this kind of venereal disease. Moreover, there are some ulcerations, suppurations, inflammations, and lesions in your private area, so you must naturally be feeling very itchy and uncomfortable now. However, you can rest assured that you can get some relief from the itch after taking the medication today.”After that, the doctor continued speaking, “From now on, you should avoid seafood, spicy food, alcohol, and you should not be smoking e
Christopher tried to endure the itch. Hannah was preparing dinner when Christopher came back home.When she saw that Christopher had really enjoyed eating the abalones she had prepared earlier in the afternoon, she wanted to continue pleasing him. Thus, when Christopher went out with the old lady in the afternoon, she went out to the market again.This time, she bought a big king crab for Christopher. The big king crab was very big and juicy, and it would certainly be very delicious. It was also Christopher’s favorite.Moreover, the king crab was not cheap at all. She even bought the biggest king crab, which cost her more than two thousand dollars.Hannah originally had no more money after giving the old lady all of her money. However, she had her own thoughts and had stolen a high-end blender from the kitchen as well as two bottles of Moutai from the underground wine cellar before selling them for twenty thousand dollars.Hannah was not planning to report the remaining balance of
Even a shameless person such as Harold also felt his face burning with embarrassment at this time.What the hell was this?Wendy also felt extremely helpless. At this time, she did not know whether she should try to stop the fight or not.If she stopped the fight, she would feel that her father was very pitiful.However, if she did not stop the fight, she could not help but feel that her mother was very pitiful.This was truly a tragedy.Christopher grabbed Hannah’s head and continued beating her for another ten minutes. He only stopped beating her when he had already beaten her until she had fainted. She was unconscious and had already been beaten half to death.As Hannah was in a coma, the old lady had just finished sterilizing her entire room. She saw the following scene when she walked down the stairs and immediately asked Christopher, “How could you beat her up until she is half-dead?!”Christopher felt very aggrieved, and he said, “Mom! This stinky b*tch cheated on me and
Donald had mixed feelings when he heard his son’s question.Not too long ago, he felt that it was the Moore family’s glory that his son was actually interested in Jasmine.But now, he knew very well in his heart that Jasmine would never be interested in his son at all.The current Webb family had not only shrunk tremendously, but most importantly, their reputation had already been completely ruined.Moreover, even The Big Eight had already died on Mount Golmin for unknown reasons. So, how could the Webb family even be compared to the Moore family now?Therefore, Donald did not even have a single shred of hope of getting Jasmine to become his daughter-in-law.However, it was really a pity that it seems as though his son did not have any self-knowledge and he did not know his own limitations at all.Jasmine had not even been interested in him when the Webb family was in its heyday, let alone now.As he thought about Sean, he felt that his son not only had no self-knowledge, but h
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
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
