Chapter 1962

Author: Lord Leaf
Little did Charlie know that Sophie was giving her all to look for him.

In fact, he placed all his attention on the preparation of the New Year’s goodies. Ever since Charlie’s parents passed away, he always looked forward to this festive season.

In the past, he had a tough life. Festive seasons were no different from any ordinary day. Not only could he not enjoy the warmth of his family, but he would also envy others who could gather with theirs.

Since he married Claire, he did not show any particular interest in the New Year festival. In those days, the Wilson family celebrated the festive season among themselves, and for Charlie, he would be the subject of everyone’s sarcasm. Every New Year’s Eve reunion dinner, he would be humiliated and embarrassed.

Comparatively, this year would be much better. This would be his most anticipated Oskian New Year ever since his parents’ demise.

It was the twenty-ninth day of the Oskian New Year. Early the next morning while the

    Charlie had recognized Albert’s voice via the speakers of the intercom system.   However, he never thought that Albert would come to his house at this time. Also, from what he heard from his father-in-law, he did not come here alone.   He then rose and said, “Dad, I’ll open the door.”   Claire asked in surprise, “Charlie, I hope these people are not those VIPs who are only looking for you because of your luck and fortune, right?”   Charlie grinned and answered, “You’re right! It is none other than them. Only these people will greet me as Master Wade!”   Claire shook her head helplessly as she teased, “Master Wade, I think you’re being quite egotistical!”   Charlie raised his eyebrows. “Egotistical to the extent that people trust in my ability!”   After speaking, he stepped out the door and passed through the garden before finally reaching the front door. When the big door was opened, Charlie was stunned by the sight set before him.   It was not only Albert, Is

    Despite Wendy being faithful to Gerald and being pregnant with his child, she was still abandoned by him.   Ever since then, Wendy became Kenneth and Jeffrey’s sexual partner and plaything. Not only did she not gain any benefits from them both, but she had also tarnished her own reputation.   Wendy had been living a miserable life now. Although she was living in a villa at Thompson First, she had been starving all night and could not afford breakfast.   The moment she met with Gerald again, she felt the pain again as she walked down memory lane.   In a brief moment, Wendy’s eyes were filled with tears that streamed down her face.   She choked desperately, “My Gerald, why did you abandon me? What have I done wrong to let you leave me so heartlessly...? My Gerald…”   At this moment, Wendy was crying in despair!   Hannah felt heartbroken when she saw her daughter crying. She embraced her gently into her arms and comforted her, “Wendy, I believe you will find someon

    At the A05 villa’s entrance, Charlie looked at the crowd and then asked in surprise, “Why are you all here?”   Albert smiled as he answered, “Master Wade, New Year is approaching soon. Therefore, all of us would like to pay you a visit in advance as well as bring some new year gifts for you.”Isaac nodded and said, “Master Wade, we’re afraid we may waste your time if we take turns to visit you. After discussing among ourselves, we decided to come over together!”   Graham added, “Master Wade, we’ve prepared some humble gifts for you. I hope you don’t mind.” “Agreed!” Zeke continued, hurriedly, “Master Wade, you’re a saint. Hope you won’t mind the humble gifts from commoners like us.”   Charlie smiled kindly as he replied, “I’m deeply grateful that all of you still remember me. You don’t have to spend so much for me.” Lord Moore stepped forward and said seriously, “Master Wade, all of us are indebted to you. It’s totally worth it for us to pay you a courteous visit during

    Harvey replied hurriedly, “Master Wade, I am good! All thanks to you and Director Lane!”   As soon as Charlie heard what Harvey said, his facial expression turned serious, and he replied solemnly, “Buddy, everyone can call me Master Wade, but you’re an exception!”   Harvey spoke awkwardly, “How can I be an exception when even Director Lane greeted you as Master Wade?”   Charlie walked to him, patted his shoulder, and said seriously, “Buddy, they greeted me as Master Wade just because I’ve more or less lent them a helping hand. However, you’re different!”   Harvey added hurriedly, “You’re the one who helped me get to where I am today….You’re my cornerstone, and in fact, I should respect you more than the others!”   Charlie looked slightly displeased and said, “Ridiculous! Both of us grew up together in Aurous Hill’s Welfare Institute together. Although we’re not biological brothers, those days in the institute have cultivated us to be like one!”   “All these years, we’

    Without any further delays, Charlie invited all of his guests into his villa.  The servants of the prestigious guests brought down the gifts from their cars, and there were at least twenty to thirty of them carrying myriads of high-end gifts as they entered into the villa one after another.  Lady Wilson, who stayed at A04, was stunned to see such a scene. She then murmured to herself, “This is unlike any typical kind of gift-giving session I have seen. This is more like a tribute paid to an emperor in ancient times!”  Hannah felt extremely sorrowful as she opened her mouth and said, “All these are filthy-rich men. At the very least, they are wealthy men. The total value of these gifts would be worth almost a billion.”  Wendy muttered with her teary eyes, “It should be worth at least a billion. The villa given by Gerald alone had cost more than a billion….”  “Oh my…” Lady Wilson had a disgruntled expression on her face as she said, “I can’t watch this anymore. Otherwise, I wil

    A myriad of gifts had been received and accumulated like a small mountain in the living hall, along with the arrival of the many dignified VIPs.   She felt extremely excited and couldn’t wait to unwrap each of these presents one by one. Nonetheless, given the situation with many VIPs around, she had to keep herself calm and composed.  Albert was Charlie’s most faithful follower. Unsurprisingly, he was also the one who initiated this surprise visit. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and read aloud, “Master Wade, here’s the list of gifts given by everyone as a token of appreciation. Allow me to read them out.” Before Charlie had even spoken, Elaine, who was beside him, had already exclaimed in excitement, “Hurry up! Read them out loudly!”  Albert replied hurriedly, “Sure, Madam. I’ll read them out loudly!”  He then cleared his throat and said loudly, “Isaac Cameron from Shangri-la has given Master Wade a hot spring villa located at Shangri-la Hotel with a value of ei

    After getting confirmation from Charlie, Albert then continued, “Lord Moore has gifted a San Lorenzo luxurious yacht made in Italy!”   “A yacht?!” Elaine was the first one to blurt out the question, “What is the purpose of the yacht? Is it a yacht to visit tourist places?”   Lord Moore laughed as he answered, “Let me clear any misunderstandings, Madam. San Lorenzo is an old European luxury yacht manufacturer. The length of the yacht is more than 20 meters long and has three decks. It is very suitable for family trips.”   Elaine was startled and said, “I suppose a yacht like this is worth a lot, right?”  Reuben, who was nearby, blurted out, “It costs around seventy million with tax.”  “How much again?!”Elaine was dumbfounded. “A yacht which costs seventy million?! This is crazy!”  Claire couldn’t help but cut in, “Lord Moore, I’m afraid we can’t accept such a lavish gift from you….” Charlie smiled gently and made a hand gesture to interrupt Claire and said, “Darlin

    When Jacob heard the last gift, he rose from his seat immediately and asked in a trembling voice, “Antique blue and white elephant ears porcelain vase with dragon patterns?!”   Albert nodded. “Correct, Mr. Wilson. It is indeed a pair of antique blue and white elephant ears porcelain vases with dragon patterns.”   “My goodness!”   Jacob was an antique lover. Although he was swindled rather often, he had a good understanding of the antique industry.  Blue and white porcelain from the Yuan dynasty was one of the most expensive porcelain antiques. In fact, a blue and white porcelain plate from the Yuan dynasty could easily be sold up to millions.   For bigger items from the Yuan dynasty, such as the blue and white porcelain pot, it had already cost over a billion during an auction more than ten years ago. If it were to be sold again in this era, it would be worth at least five billion.   Jacob had obviously heard of antique blue and white elephant ears porcelain vases wi

    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

    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 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.
