Chapter 2020

Author: Lord Leaf
Claire laughed as she said, “Mom, the more you talk about it, the more incredulous your story sounds! You are even talking about digging tunnels now! Do you really think that you are Captain Mojin?”

When Elaine saw that Claire did not seem to believe in anything that she was saying at all, she could not help but blurt out anxiously, “Seriously, Claire! Why don’t you believe anything I say? Over the years, many tombs have opened up near my grandmother’s house. A particularly famous tomb, the Halchester Tomb, was unearthed not too far away from my grandmother’s house. Have you heard of the Halchester Tomb before?”

Claire nodded before she said, “I heard that it seems to be a very important archaeological discovery in history. What is wrong with this tomb?”

“What is wrong with this tomb?!” Elaine hummed as she said, “Let me tell you, the reason why this tomb was eventually discovered by the cultural relics department, was because when the tomb robbers were trying to dig a tunnel, they

    When Charlie heard Claire’s ridicule, he felt a thump in his heart.He was really afraid that if his mother-in-law and wife had nothing better to do, they would continue reasoning with one another before finally revealing his true identity.Therefore, Charlie could not help but feel a little nervous when Claire placed her doubts directly on him.At this time, Elaine waved her hand before she looked at Charlie. After that, she said with a flattering smile, “Claire, I think that what you just said is very unlikely. Although my good son-in-law is a very promising young man now, this is also a pretty recent matter. When Loreen came to Aurous Hill, my good son-in-law had not achieved any great things yet. Have you already forgotten that during that time, even that cowardly and spineless Harold actually dared to provoke and annoy my good son-in-law?”Claire smiled helplessly before she said, “Then, I truly do not know what kind of great treasure you are talking about.”Elaine smiled as

    As he thought about this, he immediately told Charlie, “Mr. Wade, I am so sorry, but I got delayed on the road for a few days. That is the reason why I was late…”Claire, Jacob, and Elaine were even more surprised at this time.Why was Dylan apologizing to Charlie? Did they know each other?When he saw the surprised look on his family members’ faces, Charlie smiled slightly as he hurriedly said, “Mr. Koch, you are being too polite. Since I said that I will invite you to dinner, no matter whether you are early or late, I will still honor my promise to you.”Dylan was taken aback for a moment because he could not understand why Charlie was suddenly being so polite to him.After that, he suddenly realized that he might have said the wrong things.Charlie probably did not want his family to find out about this conflict with him.Therefore, Dylan hurriedly acted accordingly to Charlie’s words before he continued saying, “If that is the case, I would like to thank Mr. Wade in advance.

    “Doris Young?!”After hearing Doris’s name, only then did Jacob realize that the beautiful and sexy lady he saw in the video was actually the vice chairperson of Emgrand Group, who came to his daughter’s studio to congratulate on its commencement.Jacob was left dumbfounded.Afterall, Doris, who was the vice chairperson of Emgrand Group and a business elite in Aurous Hill, had great reputation all over Aurous Hill.Furthermore, Jacob also knew that Emgrand Group gave Claire a lot of renovation businesses, and they were literally bread and butter of her career.However, he really did not expect that Doris would take initiative to visit his house. Therefore, Jacob hurriedly said to Claire, “Claire! Quickly! Emgrand Group’s vice chairperson, Doris Young is here!”“Ah?” Claire was astonished, and immediately said with a slight nervous tone, “Why is Miss Young here…… I will open the door for her!”Loreen was also surprised.Although Doris’s value was incomparable with Loreen, after

    Doris hurriedly replied, “Hello, Mr. Wade…”At this moment, Loreen stood up and spoke with an awkward tone, “Hello Miss Young…”Only now did Doris notice Loreen and said with surprise, “Oh? You’re here too, Loreen? Did you not go home?”Loreen said with an unnatural tone, “Um… I will have to head over to the airport in a while.”The moment Dylan who was standing aside saw Doris, a flash of affection was visible in his eyes. He had seen a lot of beautiful girls, but he had never seen a white-collar beauty with such captivating elegance and exquisiteness. Therefore, his heart immediately palpitated with eagerness.Subconsciously, he stood up and asked Loreen, “Loreen, why haven’t you introduced this beautiful lady yet?”Loreen immediately began introducing. “Oh yea, Miss Young. Let me introduce you to my cousin, Dylan.”Soon after, she turned to Dylan and said, “Cousin, this is our Emgrand Group’s vice chairperson, Miss Young.”Dylan stretched out his hand right away and said i

    Dylan was just thinking about finding some common topics to try to get closer to Doris when he suddenly received a WhatsApp message from his mother, Sylvia.The content of the WhatsApp message hit him very hard, as if he were struck by lightning.“How did you useless brat provoke Charlie Wade?! Wrigley from the Golding family just called and chewed me out, saying that you were in trouble again and Charlie wants to extend your punishment period in Aurous Hill to two years!”Dylan was on the verge of collapse!“Two years?! Isn’t that going to kill me?”“I had just stayed in Cliffcouls of Aurous Hill for two days and I couldn’t take it any longer. I have no idea how I am supposed to endure it for a year. Why did Charlie suddenly add another year to my punishment time? What did I do to him?”As he thought about it, Dylan looked at Charlie and subconsciously asked, “Mr. Wade, I…”Charlie did not even wait for him to speak. He passed a cup of tea and said with a faint smile, “Come! Pl

    With that, while gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, he picked up the teacup and finished it in a single gulp.Drinking the cup of tea was equivalent to agreeing tacitly to Charlie’s new arrangement.One year’s worth of sentence was suddenly doubled and became two years.Dylan could only cry without tears. At that instant, he was entirely devoid of energy like an empty shell without a soul.At this moment, Loreen was also a little surprised.The others did not know about the conflict between Dylan and Charlie but she knew everything about it.It was Charlie who made Dylan ride a bicycle from Eastcliff all the way to Aurous Hill, and made him suffer hardships for his reformation in Aurous Hill. When Charlie started playing charades with numbers all of a sudden now, she immediately had a bad feeling about it.So, she asked Dylan in a soft voice, “Dylan. What in the world just happened?”Dylan handed his handphone over to Loreen with great disappointment. A WhatsApp message,

    Loreen really wanted to look into the actual relationship between Charlie and Doris.However, it was impossible to do so due to time constraints.She needed to rush off to Eastcliff and spend time with her family during the New Year. Therefore, after staying for about ten minutes, Loreen turned to both Claire and Charlie and said, “Claire, Charlie, I have to go now and head over to the airport for my flight. All the flights to Eastcliff are completely booked today. If I miss this flight, I would be spending the New Year here in Aurous Hill.”Claire replied, “Loreen, do you want us to send you off at the airport?”Loreen hurriedly said, “You don’t have to trouble yourselves. All of you should just stay here.”As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to Doris and greeted, “Miss Young, I shall take my leave now.”With a gentle nod, Doris replied, “Have a safe flight! Also, Happy New Year in advance!”“Thank you!” Loreen nodded. After bidding farewell to Claire’s parents, only t

    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
