When Dorothy called Liam, Liam was supervising the production of the Apothecary Stomach Pill at The Apothecary Pharmaceutical.The entire production line of The Apothecary Pharmaceutical was focused entirely on producing one single medicine, which was the Apothecary Stomach Pill.This was because the efficacy of the stomach medicine was really very high. Therefore, Liam was convinced that after launching the stomach medicine, it would quickly spread and gain attention across the country and even throughout the world.Therefore, Liam started producing the stomach medication at its full capacity to prepare for the official listing and marketing of the medicine, in accordance to Charlie’s requirement.After receiving the phone call from Dorothy, Liam smiled before he asked, “Miss Chan, I wonder if Miss Golding has already made a decision regarding the endorsement of our stomach medicine?”Dorothy replied, “This is the case, Mr. Weaver. Quinn has previously never endorsed any medicati
There was a very interesting phenomenon in the entertainment industry. People with very strong and powerful backgrounds would often like to package themselves as very ordinary people from very ordinary backgrounds. On the contrary, those with no backgrounds at all would often like to package themselves as people from big and powerful families. It was as though people would look up to them if they came from big and powerful families.In fact, Quinn actually had the strongest family background in the entire domestic entertainment industry. Therefore, Quinn was also very disciplined in the entertainment industry. She would never get involved in any scandals nor would she ever do anything that would cause any damage to her own reputation.Other celebrities would usually accept any jobs or endorsements that were offered to them, no matter what they were asked to endorse. They would be willing to sign the contract immediately as long as the company would be able to pay them.However, Qu
As Quinn was setting off to Aurous Hill, Charlie was riding his motorcycle to the stadium.Today was the feisty young lady Aurora’s quarter-final match.She would have to compete against the third seed of this championship, Brazil’s Joanna, today.Today’s match would determine which one of these two players would be able to make it to the top four players. If Aurora could achieve a breakthrough and if she won the match today, then she would have to compete in another match to decide the two last players out of the four players.If she won in that match, then she would be able to go to the finals then.This way, there would only be three matches left in this championship.Therefore, Charlie decided not to miss any of Aurora’s matches in the future. He had to see her win the championship with his own eyes.As Charlie was heading to the stadium, Liam gave him a call and said, “Master Wade, I’ve just received a phone call. The popular actress Quinn Golding and her agent are alread
After that, a kissing sound came out of his mouth.Claire felt a little embarrassed and she could not stand it anymore over the phone. After that, she was a little shy as she replied, “You win! I can’t believe that you can even act indecently over the phone!”Charlie smiled as he said, “You’re my wife, so how can you say that I am acting indecently?”After that, Charlie continued begging and pestering her, “My good wife, just give me a kiss, okay? Please!”In the upper-class society of Aurous Hill, almost everyone knew Master Wade as the True Dragon. Any ordinary person would be humble and respectful towards him whenever they saw him. When would anyone ever see Charlie begging someone else?His wife, Claire, was the only person who could make him beg for something.Although Claire felt a little embarrassed, she also felt very sweet in her heart. So, she said softly, “Okay, fine. You win! Just once, but don’t you dare try pushing your luck any further!”“Okay, just give me a kiss
Nanako frowned slightly when she saw Jiro coming in.Ever since she had lunch with Jiro the last time, Jiro had been coming to harass her repetitively. This really annoyed Nanako.In fact, when Nanako had eaten lunch with him that day, she had deliberately stated that one of the most important things that she would be considering when choosing a spouse was for the other party to be stronger than herself. This was so that Jiro would just retreat.However, Jiro seemed to have instinctively filtered out her words.What was even more exaggerated was the fact that this man actually checked out of his room at Shangri-La just to move into Aurous International Hotel. He even moved into the room directly across Nanako’s and this made Nanako feel very dissatisfied.Moreover, Nanako felt even more depressed because her father, Yahiko, kept asking her to be more friendly toward Jiro.She felt a lot of antipathy in her heart but she could not get angry or drive him away at all. He was just li
Kazuki said to Nanako, “Nanako, I believe that you’ll be able to knock out your opponent directly in the first round of this match. Therefore, I won’t be going to your ring to guide you anymore.”Nanako asked curiously, “Master, are you going to watch Aurora’s match?”“Yes.” Kazuki replied, “I am going to see how powerful her coach is that he is able to destroy that Hanson Zavier in one blow. If he’s really talented, he’ll definitely pose a huge threat to us in the future. Besides that, I also want to see if Aurora Quinton has made any progress at all under his guidance.”Jiro hurriedly came over as he said with a serious expression on his face, “Mr. Yamamoto, please go ahead. I’ll definitely accompany Miss Ito until she is done with her match!”Kazuki simply shook his head helplessly.In fact, he also disliked Jiro. He felt that a man like him who was so physically weak and powerless was not worthy of his outstanding disciple. Moreover, he could not help but feel a strong dislike
As Charlie was looking at Nanako, he saw a strange person gazing at him from behind her.Charlie subconsciously frowned before he looked at him. He saw a man with a somewhat familiar and wretched appearance staring at him in horror.Although this kid looked like a decent and proper person, under Charlie’s discerning eyes, he could immediately tell that this man was up to no good at all. He was certainly that kind of hypocritical scumbag who was the dregs of society.When Charlie glanced at him, he could see that Jiro was trembling all over!Jiro could not help but tremble in fear because Charlie had really left an extremely deep impression on him.Jiro had seen many ruthless people before. Just a few years ago in Hong Kong, someone had kidnapped the son of the richest man. After that, he walked into the richest man’s villa with bombs all over his body before he blackmailed him for one billion Hong Kong dollars.He had also heard of the armored car robbery in Europe that shocked t
Charlie smiled before he said, “Mr. Kobayashi, you aren’t too bad yourself. It seems as though you are also full of energy and have a pretty good temperament yourself. However, you are just a little too short.”Jiro felt a little depressed for a short while.He was less than 1.7 meters tall. Although he had an ordinary height among other Asian men, he was still far behind compared to the standard of being tall, rich, and handsome.Jiro had always dreamt of being able to grow as tall as 1.8 meters tall. However, even after trying all sorts of methods, he could not do so at all.Therefore, his height problem had always been a cause of his heartache.At this time, Charlie who was 1.85 meters tall, was teasing him about his height in front of Nanako. This made him feel very uncomfortable and he could no longer control the expression on his face.Charlie spoke up again at this time. “Mr. Kobayashi, I really did not expect you to be able to speak the Oskian language so well! You’re so
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
