Chapter 1999

Author: Lord Leaf
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.

    Lady Wilson had never experienced a day like this before, where she was extremely excited over a meal.  She did according to what the foreman said. So, she worked hard till seven o’clock and finally, she received her dream meal coupon.  Despite the full lunch, Lady Wilson wolfed the food down as if she had starved for three days. She filled herself up to the point where she could hardly stand up.   When she could no longer continue to eat, she rested in place for about half an hour. After that, she forced herself up with two hands clutching the table.  She felt energetic after sufficient food and drink.  Lady Wilson wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, then touched her belly with her palm. She sighed in satisfaction, thinking, Never thought the food would taste so good after so much hard work is put forth. Finally, I have had sufficient food to satisfy my hunger!  She then checked her time and realized it was already past eight. She then quickly went home.  Despite

    How she wished Elaine was indeed as pitiful as how she had described her! In fact, the more pitiful was Elaine, the better!   Nonetheless, the caterer didn’t know she was lying at all.  Who would have thought any ordinary old lady would curse her own family members out of the blue? Therefore, the caterer believed everything that came from her mouth was true.  She replied with sympathy, “No wonder you still have to work outside at such an old age. It must be very tough for you to have experienced all those misfortunes in your family!”  She then said, “Old lady, there’re still some leftovers of about seven to eight steamed buns and the portion of remaining rice is sufficient for four people. Also, there are some remnants of dishes. Do you have any containers? I’ll pack for you to bring home!”  Lady Wilson felt very excited, yet, she calmed herself and said melancholically, “How can I afford any containers? Both my daughters-in-laws are barely surviving due to starvation…”She

    Lady Wilson had never thought that she would be slapped by a stranger after one whole day of hard work and hardship.   After the lady slapped her, she continued to scold her, “D*mn old lady! How dare you pretend to be a resident at Thompson First when you’re now eating disgusting leftovers! Crazy woman!”  She then yelled at a security guard who was nearby, “You come over here right now! Aren’t you blinded? I’ve spent twenty million for a house here and this is the attitude you show us? Who’ll protect the interests and feelings of the landlords if this messy old woman, who is worse than pigs and dogs, is allowed to get in here?”   The security guard felt nervous too.   Lady Wilson looked haggard and tired, unlike the typical wealthy old lady.   Besides, the leftovers such as steamed buns, rice, and messy remnants of dishes inside the four big plastic bags were totally inconsistent with the characteristics of the residents of Thompson First.   He then said hurriedly to

    Therefore, she knew very well in her heart that anyone who could live in a series A villa would be much more powerful than her.   As she recalled the slap given to the old lady just now, she was so terrified.   She thought anxiously in her heart, I’m finished! This is disastrous! Who would’ve thought that this old lady isn’t that simple! I slapped her just now. If she wants to find fault with me, won’t I be in deep trouble?!   The security guard was also trembling with fear.  What happened? Is this old lady really a resident of Thompson First villa? Why didn’t I have any impression of her?  Moreover, those who live in the villa are filthy rich. If this old lady is so rich, with such capability and background, why would she take bags of leftover food back to Thompson First?   Is it the trend now for rich people to eat swill hogwash?  Lady Wilson furiously asked the woman, “Open your bloody eyes and see carefully! Do I look like a resident of A04 to you now?!”

    Upon seeing Jacob run away, Lady Wilson was enraged.She thought to herself furiously, How could I have a son like him, who didn’t even bother when his own mother was slapped?! Is he heartless? What a beast!   Little did she know the woman right in front of her was already nearly scared to death!She did not know that Jacob and Lady Wilson’s relationship had soured. She only knew that they were both mother and son.   She thought with horror to herself, Despite being from the same family, they’re staying separately in two villas, one in A04 and another in A05. I wonder how wealthy this family is? How much support do they have behind them?   Thinking of this, she felt extremely regretful for finding fault with the old lady.   She immediately lowered her head and offered her apologies. “I’m very sorry, old lady. I’ve never thought you’re a tenant of the villa residential area. I ask for your forgiveness for my recklessness just now…”  Lady Wilson scolded angrily, “Do you

    She thought to herself, This slap earned me one hundred dollars, which is more cost-effective than working for a whole day!So, she suppressed her inner excitement and replied, “Okay, let’s just forget about this matter. Next time, remember not to judge a book by its cover and look down on others!”  The opposite party immediately nodded with respect and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll remember…”***   While Lady Wilson held the two hundred Oskian dollar notes and carried the four big bags into the house, the smell of food had permeated the house.   Jennifer and two others were the ones who had cooked.   They were cleaners at the supermarket today and since the pay was one hundred Oskian dollars per day, it would total up to three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars for three people.   Nowadays, with three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars, the three of them could go to a restaurant to have a normal meal.  But they carefully used three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars to cook

    Hannah had never thought that Lady Wilson would fall out with her.   Seeing her carrying many plastic bags filled with food, she said aggrievedly, “Mother, since you’ve brought back so much good food, let me take a few bites. After all, I’ve starved for a long time…”   Lady Wilson snorted, “Go get a job to feed yourself. How shameless of you to ask an elderly like me to feed you!”  Hannah nervously blurted out, “That’s all Jacob’s fault! Otherwise, I would’ve earned more than you by working as a cashier!”   Lady Wilson pouted and said, “All these are none of my business. The money you earn belongs to yourself while the money I earn is mine. We shan’t take advantage of each other. As such, don’t you ever think of taking in my meals. Go work outside and earn your own meal!”  Hannah glared at her furiously. Then, she blurted out, “Old lady, are you throwing stones at me who has fallen into a well? If you insist, I’ll leave this house!”   Lady Wilson laughed and clapped h

    However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e

    The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi

    And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J

    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
