Chapter 1992

Author: Lord Leaf
Charlie asked, “So, Dad, do you have any plans?”

He did not know what Jacob was thinking at this moment. Seeing Jacob’s sorrowful expression, he assumed that Jacob might want to lend Lady Wilson a helping hand.

Jacob simply sighed and said, “As her son, it breaks my heart to see my own mother living such a hard-knock life and doing such a tedious job. I should not just sit on my hands and watch.”

The next second, he closed his eyes and said, “However, I didn’t see anything! It was nothing but an illusion!”

With that, he quickly turned around and said, “Charlie, let’s go buy some fish, shrimp, meat, and eggs. As for the vegetables, let’s buy them at another supermarket. What do you think?”

Knowing Jacob’s intention, Charlie immediately smiled and said, “Yes, Dad. I’m thinking the same thing. The vegetables in this supermarket are not so fresh. Let’s go to the wet market later to buy the vegetables! First, let’s go see if they have a larger Boston lobster, and we’ll buy some back!”

    Charlie also saw Hannah.When he laid eyes on Hannah’s green vest, he felt that it was somewhat comical. He started wondering what she looked like when she was working at the coal mine back then and if she was given a uniform. He even started to imagine what she would look like in the coal mine uniform.Hannah was feeling very frustrated now, shooting a vengeful glare at Charlie.Charlie was the one who had brought all these miseries upon her. It was he who had ruined it all when she tried to spring a trap on Elaine.That was not all.The worst part was that he had donated all her money to charity and then sent her to the coal mine!When she thought of her wretched moments in the coal mine, she couldn’t help cursing, “This d*mned Charlie! He sent me to that hell hole! I gave up so much when I was there, but what I got in return were STDs and a child! If it were not for him, I wouldn’t be so miserable today…”The more she thought about it, the more agitated she felt toward Charli

    Hannah had only just come to the supermarket today to apply for a part-time job at a hundred dollars a day, but after having a conversation with the manager, he decided to let her take the job as a cashier since she was a college graduate.Cashier work was not as tiring as the other tasks, and the wage was a hundred and fifty a day. Therefore, she had agreed to the job offer in delight.The manager would love to have Hannah at the post she was at now if there were no big issues, but he could not keep her if she dared to provoke customers at the checkout counter. Fortunately, since she was just casually bickering with her relatives, the manager decided to let it slide and reminded her, “You need to watch out for your image since you are on duty now. Don’t chit-chat even if they are your relatives when you’re working, got it?”Hannah hurriedly nodded and said flatteringly, “Don’t worry. I won’t do it again!”The manager nodded and prepared to turn and leave when Jacob said, “Hey, a

    The manager instantly understood what was going on after hearing Jacob’s remark, and he thought to himself, ‘So, Hannah clashed with customers, shouted at them, and even lied to my face in front of the customers! This is simply outrageous! If I kept her here for the job, I wonder how many customers she will offend next, and it may end up dragging me down too! No! I must get rid of her now!’Thinking of this, the manager said in a stern voice without hesitation, “Hannah Wilson, I hired you to work as a temp here, but I didn’t expect you to mistreat customers! I don’t think you are suitable for the job. Give me the cashier keys now, take off your vest, and leave!”Hannah felt as if her world had crumbled upon her!She thought to herself, ‘I came here early in the morning to look for a job, and I’ve been working so hard all morning! It’s almost lunchtime, and I was looking forward to going to the staff canteen and enjoying my free lunch, but I was fired! In this case, not only do I hav

    Hannah shouted desperately, “Who are you to expel me?! Why aren’t you paying me a salary?!”   No matter how loudly she shouted, no one pitied her nor sympathized with her.   When Hannah was about to be dragged out from the supermarket, the manager said to Charlie and Jacob apologetically, “Let me offer my sincere apologies to both of you. It was my fault for hiring an unsuitable candidate to work here.”   Jacob nodded, then he said, “It wasn’t your fault. Nonetheless, you are responsible for this incident as you didn’t hire the suitable worker!”   Jacob then sighed and said melancholically, “You have poor judgement.”   The manager nodded his head in embarrassment, “Your criticism is right. I’ll learn from my mistakes!”   Jacob patted his shoulder and said proudly, “You still need more experience!”   “Yes!” The manager nodded his head repeatedly. Then, he waved his hand at a cashier who had just finished her meal and was about to start her shift, and he said to her,

    At this moment, Hannah felt that the days she had here were worse than those days at Mount Blackpine.She cried while reminiscing those days at Mount Blackpine, sighing as she said, “Despite those days at Mount Blackpine being not that good either, at least I did not have to starve when I was with the supervisor!”   “Not only did I not have to starve, but I also did not have to do much work. Moreover, I also could gamble with Linda Howard and her family. How I miss those days!”“Although the supervisor looked ugly and was unhygienic, he was good in bed and had enabled me to experience unprecedented feelings…”   Thinking of this, Hannah sighed. She sobbed and said to Wendy, who was by her side, “Wendy, how are we going to go through these tough days? We face many problems every day. Gone is our money, our company has gone bankrupt, we’re staying at a stranger's villa, and we hardly even have meals to consume. When will days like these end?”   Wendy couldn’t help but cry too a

    Wendy said, “Gerald and I had gone upstairs to meet Doris. Not only did she refuse to see us, but she also humiliated us by saying that Emgrand Group wouldn’t cooperate with those of the lower class like us. Soon afterward, Gerald was beaten up by Emgrand Group’s security guard…”   Wendy then continued, “Later on, Emgrand Group terminated the partnership with the White family. Gerald’s father and uncle were very furious. Ever since then, Gerald started to stray away from me while his uncle, Zeke, had grown closer with Charlie. He even gifted Charlie the villa next to his…”   “After that, the agreement between Claire and Emgrand Group had been terminated as a result of Grandma breaking her promise. Since then, our family has gone downhill…”   “Wendell used to pursue Claire. Amidst that, his family was declared bankrupt. Since then, he had also disappeared into thin air...”   “Likewise, Jason Grant used to court Claire. Eventually, Jason and his father, Justin disappeared. To

    When Hannah heard that Wendy was willing to be Charlie’s concubine, she felt anxious.   She blurted out, “Wendy, have you lost your mind? Why must you be that loser’s concubine? He’s no match for you!”   Wendy sighed, then said softly, “Mother, to be honest, Charlie isn’t bad. He is handsome, responsible, and has a good personality. He’s way better than Gerald.”   “Ridiculous!” Hannah glared at her before blurting out, “That loser is no match for you in any way!”   Wendy smiled bitterly, “In these years, my situation cannot be any worse. I’ve fallen from being a phoenix to becoming a chicken now.”   Speaking of this, Wendy couldn’t help but sobbed, “Mother, look at me. My reputation is gone. No guys will bother to give me even a single glance…”   Seeing Wendy’s tears streamed down on her face, Hannah embraced her head into her arm and comforted her, “My lovely daughter, we shouldn’t think this way. What is reputation? Isn’t staying alive more important than anything e

    “Others might still have chosen a loser as a life long partner even after taking into various considerations, worries and possibilities.”   “Nonetheless, for Claire, she accepted what may come from God and thus, she was married to the loser…”   “Who would’ve thought a loser will turn into a phoenix someday later…”   Wendy nodded, then said seriously, “Someday, I’ll get closer to Charlie regardless of how he may despise me. He may more or less be able to lend us a helping hand. Unlike the outsiders, no one is as good as Charlie…”   Hannah sighed, then said, “It’s up to you. I had overreacted just now and now I’m starving. Please help me into the house so I can lie down for a bit. We’ll have our meals after your grandma returns.”***   Lady Wilson had been pulling the plastic bags for the customers at the supermarket for an entire day.   The supermarket was equipped with big rolls of plastic bags. One pull of the plastic bag would instantly generate static electricity.

    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
