As he did not dare to cause any delay to their plans to seize power at the board of directors meeting tomorrow, Adrian decided that no matter what it was, he had to endure this tonight.At the same time, he immediately offered a lot of money to the dean of the hospital to look for some top experts specializing in the related field from the United States. He wanted to see if they could come over and try to see if they could cure them using any medical means and methods.It would be best if they could do so. Then, there would be no need for them to ask for that young lad’s help. They could just kill him!If they could not do so…That would be a little tricky. In order to ensure the continuation of their descendants, he might even be willing to kneel down in front of that young lad and beg for mercy!Adrian felt very uncomfortable when he thought about Charlie’s arrogant face.Rogan asked in a low voice, “Second Brother, do you think that the young lad will be attending the board of
“Alright then. I’ll wait for you here!”***At this moment, Charlie and Yule’s family had just finished dinner. After that, Yule dragged Charlie to accompany him to drink some liquor with him before he finally returned to the guest room that Rachel had prepared for him. After taking a bath, he lay down on his bed to rest.At this time, Claire called him and asked him, “Husband, are you making any progress in Eastcliff?”Charlie smiled as he said, “It’s not that bad. Everything is going well and I should be able to get everything done in three days’ time.”“That’s good.” Claire hummed and said with concern, “You have to take good care of yourself when you are outside. After all, you’re so far away from home.”Charlie felt a little touched deep in his heart and he smiled as he said, “Don’t worry, my dear wife. I’m an adult now and I know how to look after myself. I’ll return home immediately after I’m done with my work here.”“Okay.” Claire smiled before she said, “By the way, hus
At nightfall in Eastcliff, Kenneth sat in his Rolls-Royce as it was speeding on the street at night.He was extremely excited and filled with emotions at this time.After all, he had received an invitation from Rogan, who was the third son of the Golding family.Although Rogan ranked last in the family and did not have much real power, he was still a direct heir of the Golding family after all. Both Rogan’s social status and the assets that he owned were much stronger compared to Kenneth.Therefore, Kenneth desperately tried to flatter him, hoping that he would be able to win his favor and use his connections with him to build up a direct relationship with the Golding family.Although Kenneth did not know why Rogan was looking for him, the fact that Rogan had actually taken the initiative to look for him was already a vast improvement in itself.Twenty minutes later, when Kenneth arrived at Golding Group Hospital, Rogan’s son, Wilhelm, was already waiting for him at the entrance.
Rogan exchanged glances with his brother, Adrian. After that, he hurriedly asked, “Kenneth, could you tell me how you lost your potency and became impotent? What happened to you?”Kenneth replied awkwardly, “Mr. Golding…you…you…why are you so concerned over this matter? To be honest, it is not that I don’t want to tell you about it. However, this sort of thing is really too shameful and embarrassing to be discussed!”Adrian who had not spoken up at all suddenly said, “Mr. Wilson, please do not feel any psychological burden. To be honest, the reason why we’ve looked for you today is simply for the honest exchange of information between patients. It would be much easier and more convenient for us to gather more clues if we share and exchange information with one another, right?”“Huh?!”Kenneth was dumbfounded.Information exchange between patients?What did he mean?Was he implying that these two brothers had also lost their potency and were impotent now?No way!These two were
Kenneth was also very shocked and surprised. He could not help but sigh as he said, “Speaking of which, Charlie is really a f*cking mysterious person. He simply muttered a few words that day, and I was confused and did not know what was happening at all after that…”Having said that, Kenneth could not help but be reminded of his tragic experience in Aurous Hill.First, he was beaten up by Charlie. After that, he was deprived of his ability to be a man and that was not the worst thing yet!The worst thing was when he had mistakenly believed in that old man with the last name Weaver and had eaten the supposedly magical medicine produced by the Weaver family. That medicine did not only fail to help him regain his former glory, but it also caused his penis to start rotting completely.In the end, he had finally managed to keep his own penis after receiving treatment from Charlie.As for Charlie’s treatment for him to keep his own penis, that was a whole different kind of suffering too
Kenneth replied, “I was pondering and I felt that although the metaphysics theory could be relatively true, it’s a much more holistic approach. For instance, it might gradually affect a person’s luck but it would be very unlikely to affect a person’s potency in an instant. So, I have a feeling that the young lad must have used some sort of feint attack on us.”Adrian asked, “A feint attack? What do you mean? Why do you say that?”Kenneth explained, “This is just like a magic trick. When a magician is performing a magic trick, in addition to the most commonly used camouflage method, a magician would always be using a feint attack on its audiences too. If he’s pointing at his right hand to show something to you, then he would generally be hiding something in his left hand. If he’s pointing at the hat to show you something in there, then he would usually be hiding something in his sleeves.”Adrian nodded solemnly as he said, “You can continue speaking.”Kenneth continued saying, “Look
Due to the strong cold air, the temperature in Eastcliff dropped drastically that night. Heavy snow was also falling from the sky.Charlie received a push notification on his cell phone stating that Eastcliff had already issued a blizzard warning from tonight until tomorrow.Charlie was wearing a shirt as he stepped out on the balcony of the guest room. All that he could think of at this time was just his parents.He was finally going to visit his parents’ grave tomorrow.This matter had been bothering him for the past eighteen years.Just as he was lost in his own thoughts, he suddenly heard Quinn’s voice, “Brother Charlie, don’t you feel cold when you’re wearing so little?”Charlie turned around and he saw Quinn. He did not know when she had entered his room and came towards the balcony.Quinn hurriedly explained, “Sorry, Brother Charlie. I had knocked on the door but no one answered the door. So, I simply pushed the door open and came in.”Charlie smiled slightly before he n
After he had found Quinn’s red shoes, he helped her put it on. After that, the scene immediately flashed to the next wedding scene.The wedding in his dream was extremely grand.Charlie’s parents were also there, and they had a very happy and kind smile on their faces.When the wedding music sounded, Yule took Quinn’s hand as they walked up to him. After that, Yule smiled before he handed Quinn’s hand over to him.The both of them then said their wedding vows and exchanged wedding rings before they kissed each other.Following that, the emcee asked Quinn to turn her back around to throw her wedding bouquet to her bridesmaids.However, it was Claire who caught the bouquet!After Claire had caught the bouquet, she did not look happy at all. On the contrary, she had a very grieved and upset expression on her face…Charlie could not help but quiver when he locked eyes with Claire. At this time, he suddenly opened his eyes, only to realize that it was all just a dream.He was shock
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
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
