The Moore family was one of the top families in Aurous Hill.However, the Moore family could not be compared to the Wade family in terms of their status or prestige. Jasmine did not know about Charlie’s true identity, and in her eyes, Charlie was just a young man who had some skills and abilities in antique trade as well as some knowledge on metaphysics.When Charlie had called for the Thunder Order and used thunder and lightning to strike Jack to death at the White family mansion, he had indeed scared many people to death. Therefore, everyone regarded him as the master of metaphysics. However, Charlie hid the truth from Jasmine and intentionally told her that everything was just a coincidence. After all, how could an ordinary person like him actually call for thunder and lightning whenever he wanted to.Hence, Jasmine was also very confused and thought that Charlie was probably just really lucky.Ever since that day, Jasmine disappeared from Charlie’s world completely.Charlie
After Charlie went downstairs, Don Albert, who was sitting in the car, quickly beckoned for Charlie to come over immediately. “Mr. Wade, get in the car!”Charlie nodded before walking over to the car quickly. Albert started driving as soon as Charlie got into the car and then headed toward the outskirts of the city.On the way there, Albert suddenly said anxiously, “I heard that a very famous and reputable Feng Shui master will also be coming from Hong Kong today. Mr. Wade, you cannot let him steal your limelight!”After that, Albert continued speaking. “Miss Moore is the eldest daughter of the Moore family, and she will be taking over the Moore family business soon. If we manage to save her from this predicament, she will definitely take care of us in the future!”Charlie laughed before saying, “Albert, you are not so kind after all. Yesterday, you told me that the reason why you were so worried about Jasmine was that you wanted to repay her grandfather’s kindness. However, now yo
Even though the butler obviously despised Albert, the latter was not offended at all. On the contrary, he continued speaking to Oscar respectfully with a smile on his face. “Look here, Uncle Oscar. The issues that Miss Moore is facing are getting more and more severe. All of us are worried about her! Moreover, we can’t be certain that Master Lennard from Hong Kong will definitely be able to resolve the problems that Miss Moore is facing.”Upon hearing that, Oscar replied coldly, “Do you really think that you will be able to find anyone as capable as Master Lennard? Please leave immediately. You will never be able to pay the Moore family back for their losses if you interrupt Master Lennard while he is reading Miss Moore’s Feng Shui for her!”Albert scratched his head anxiously because he did not expect Oscar to stop them from entering the villa. If Oscar refused to let them in, how would Charlie be able to help Jasmine?As he thought about it, Albert suddenly blurted out, “Uncle Osc
At that moment in the room, a lean middle-aged man who was wearing a blue shirt was holding a compass as he looked around the room, muttering some words. Jasmine was standing with her back facing the door. However, as soon as she heard someone knocking on the door, she turned around before asking, “Uncle Oscar, is there something wrong?”Oscar hurriedly replied, “Miss Moore, Albert brought Mr. Wade over here to help you look at your Feng Shui.”Jasmine turned around and she was extremely surprised when she saw Charlie. “Charlie, why are you here?”When Charlie looked at Jasmine, he realized that she truly did look a lot more haggard as compared to when he had seen her a few days ago. According to the , there were shadows on her forehead, and it seemed as though something was really wrong with her fortune at this time.Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “Albert told me that you were in trouble, so he brought me here to have a look at your Feng Shui.”Just the
When Jasmine heard that Master Lennard had already discovered the source of all her problems, she was very excited and quickly exclaimed, “Master Lennard, since you have already identified the source of all my problems, will my fortune improve after I remove that potted plant?”“Unfortunately, no.” Master Lennard replied with a serious expression on his face. “You should understand that a Feng Shui formation is an invisible formation. Even if you remove the green potted plant, you will not be able to remove the influence that it has left on the Feng Shui formation.”Jasmine hurriedly asked, “In that case, what should I do?”Master Lennard replied, “You should place an exorcism transporter refined by a Feng Shui master by the window instead of that potted plant. That way, you will be able to completely eradicate all of your problems, and at that time, your good fortune will continue to flow in from the east!”Jasmine then asked, “What is an exorcism transporter?”Master Lennard qui
Master Lennard quickly put the cheque away before walking over to the window and removing the green potted plant. Then, he placed the chalcedony stone by the window as he continued chanting his mantras. Charlie scoffed as he witnessed this scene.He realized that Master Lennard did not know what he was doing at all. Moreover, he had even caused a catastrophe by making the situation worse than it originally was!From the , Charlie had already studied a strange scenario that was similar to what he was witnessing in Jasmine’s room.He could feel a terrifying Feng Shui formation in this room, and he realized that the Feng Shui in this room was a ‘dragon encapsulation formation’. As the name suggested, even if a dragon was living under this Feng Shui formation, it would also be trapped. If so, how could an ordinary person escape this?Therefore, no matter how good a person’s fortune was, those who lived in a ‘dragon encapsulation formation’ would inevitably lose th
Jasmine could not understand what was happening. Why was she suddenly facing such a huge problem even though Master Lennard had already changed her fortune for her?Just then, the other party replied over the phone, “There is nothing we can do now, Miss Moore. The other party is demanding for us to pay compensation to them immediately. They refused to accept any of the goods at all.”Jasmine hurriedly asked, “Are you sure you are not making a mistake? Can you ask them to verify this issue again?”The other party quickly replied, “I have already asked them to verify the situation. However, even after checking the products twice, they insist that the products were not up to their expectations whatsoever.”Jasmine blurted out immediately, “I want you to check our export records immediately and find out who produced this batch of goods! I want you to find the person responsible for this matter so that they can explain everything to me as soon as possible!”After that, she instructed t
When Charlie saw the sixty-inch television falling toward Jasmine’s feet, he quickly took a step forward and grabbed her hand before pulling her into his arms.The television set fell and hit the ground with a crash!The television casing and screen smashed to the ground, a piece of shattered plastic flying out and slashing Jasmine’s slender and fair leg.“Ahh!” Jasmine yelled out in pain as soon as she felt the sharp pain in her calf. When she lowered her head, she realized that there was a two to three centimeter-long cut in her calf, and blood started gushing out of the wound in a flash.Charlie hurriedly took out a piece of tissue from his pocket before kneeling down beside Jasmine and pressing the piece of tissue against her calf. After that, he asked, “Jasmine, do you have any first aid kit at home? We need to disinfect your wound immediately.”Jasmine was a little irate when Charlie touched her leg and she wanted to yell at him. However, when she recalled that Charlie was t
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 family hono
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. Forget picking an unassuming city like Aurous Hill—is there a single
