Almost immediately after Yule’s domineering remarks, the share prices, which were steadily rising shortly after the limit was opened, suddenly seemed to be rocketing and directly hitting the up limit.A large number of institutions and investors were keeping an eye on the press conference. When they heard Yule’s words, they immediately had full confidence in Yule, and they were optimistic about the future performance of the Golding Group. They had even higher confidence in the Golding Group compared to before he had fallen ill!Therefore, everyone began desperately buying all the shares of the listed companies under the Golding Group which were still available on the stock market, and the share prices suddenly reached its up limit for the day.In the blink of an eye, the share prices reversed immediately, and the entire financial circle was instantly detonated.The reason why everyone was so optimistic and confident about the Golding Group was not just because Yule looked extremely
In Yule’s eyes, the Wade family and the Schulz family were two dragons who were competing with one another.The difference between the strength of the two families was not that great, but the Schulz family was a little stronger as compared to the Wade family.In fact, in the early years, the strength of both the Wade and Schulz family’s companies were about the same.If Curtis had not died at such a young age, the Wade family would have definitely surpassed the Schulz family a long time ago under his leadership.However, it was precisely because the genius Curtis had passed away so early and because the Wade family did not have any other successors at that time that the Schulz family had gradually managed to widen the gap between the two families.Yule believed that if Charlie returned to inherit the Wade family and then married his daughter, Charlie would then have control of both the Wade family and the Golding family.That way, the two families could even be merged. If that
Mount Wintry.This mountain could be called a Feng Shui treasure land because it was a place with superior terrains and abundant resources. It not only resembled a shoe-shaped ingot, but what was even better was the fact that it was surrounded by a continuous river flow, and this was extremely auspicious.The ancient people loved the mountains and water. Water did not only cleanse and purify everything, but it was also the source of life. Therefore, this Feng Shui treasure land could not be lacking in water.The water from Mount Wintry was indeed overflowing in abundance and the layout of the water was perfect. On this mountain, it felt as though this was the place where the heavenly gates were open, and the gate leading to this world would be closed. Therefore, this perfectly matched the Feng Shui of the abundantly overflowing water and the orientation of the mountain itself. This formed a perfect ‘waterworks dragon formation’.This kind of Feng Shui formation could guarantee the
No matter whether it was an ordinary family car or a luxury car, if the engine speed was below 2,500 rpm, it would not make much sound. However, if the speed of the car was increased to three or four thousand rpm or even four to five thousand rpm, the engine noise would immediately be increased several times.Therefore, as a driver, you would have to be gentle when stepping on the accelerator.At this time, the bodyguards had already driven the other vehicles into the parking lot next to the gate.There were only two black Rolls Royce left in front of the gate at this time. The car in front was driven by Charlie, and the one in the back was driven by another driver working for the Golding family.The electric gate opened on both sides as the security personnel made a gesture of inviting them in. Charlie stepped on the accelerator lightly as he drove slowly through the gate into the building.As Charlie drove the car up the winding road of Mount Wintry, he felt even more and more a
The security at the Wade ancestral grave had always been extremely tight.According to the Wade family’s regulations, aside from immediate family members of the Wade family, any other relatives who wanted to come to the Wade ancestral grave to come and pay their respects here would have to get the Wade’s family permission.Therefore, the requirements for the outsiders were even more stringent.Only family members or individuals with deep ties to the Wade family would be allowed to enter the ancestral grave.Since Yule and Curtis were like brothers when Curtis was still alive, the Wade family would always give the family of three permission to enter the ancestral grave.However, Yule’s entourage or men would not have any qualifications to approach or enter the Wade family ancestral grave at all.It was just two simple words. Not worthy.The Wade family members were buried here. Any one of them would have been a great and reputable figure amongst any ordinary man. How could any ra
He had already been separated from his parents for eighteen years!Charlie was also feeling very anxious at this time.In fact, he had not felt this kind of panic and eagerness for a very long time ever since he had obtained the .His parents were buried in one of the magnificent mausoleums which were not too far away from him. As soon as he walked up these one hundred steps, he would finally be able to pay his respects to his parents, and he would finally be able to fulfill the biggest dream he had had in the past eighteen years of his life.However, if these people refused to let him go up the steps, he could not possibly rush up there, right?Or, should he simply reveal his identity to the Wade family?If that were the case, he would be able to pay his respects to his parents today, but after that, there would be abundant trouble and catastrophe awaiting him.Just then, a loud and clear voice suddenly sounded, “Let him go up!”Everyone turned around to look
Charlie was very puzzled.He truly did not understand why this old man seemed to have figured him out with just a single glance.However, since this old man had already helped him solve the problem at hand, the most important thing for him right now would be for him to go and pay his respects to his parents first. Everything else could be put on hold for the time being.So, Charlie arched his hand as he told the old man, “Thank you, sir.”After he was done speaking, he pretended to support Yule as he started walking up the steps accompanied by Rachel and Quinn.No one else followed behind them, including the old master who was simply standing quietly below the steps at this time. He was simply staring at Charlie’s back as he held back the excitement he was feeling inside.The Wade family mausoleum was divided into nine different rows. The top row belonged to the first ancestor of the Wade family who had left this world.The lower the level, the lower the seniority.Charlie’s
At this time, there were a few security personnel standing directly below the steps.The old master was holding the python head walking cane with both of his hands as he looked at Charlie with awe and admiration in his eyes.Charlie did not say anything, but he simply walked toward the old master as he bowed deeply in front of him.The old master hurriedly put his walking cane aside as he said with profound respect and humility, “This is unacceptable… unacceptable…”The several security personnel were all a little surprised.When the head of the Wade family had bowed to the old master, the old master had not even batted an eye. So, why was he being so polite and courteous when a mere driver was bowing in front of him now?At this time, the old master opened his mouth and asked Charlie, “Young man, I wonder if I can speak to you in private?”Charlie nodded and said, “No problem.”The old master turned around and told the security personnel, “No one is allowed to follow us.”Eve
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
