The difficulty of running a large family could be comparable to running a country.The current conflict and fight between the big families could be said to be exactly the same as the fights and conflicts between the ancient princes which were recorded in the history books.The ancient princes would not hesitate to kill their own brothers or father just so they could succeed the throne.This kind of thing was not uncommon in society today, especially in large families with assets worth more than one hundred million dollars.Although the sons of the Moore family had always been very united and harmonious in the past, Lord Moore had already made all the necessary preparations for the worst.Now, the internal monitoring system that he had prepared had indeed come in handy.Oscar immediately walked toward the bookcase before he found a secret switch. After that, the bookcase moved slightly to the left, revealing a huge display that was embedded into the wall.Oscar quickly turned on
Tyler, who was lying on the bed, picked up the cell phone, and he laughed as he said, “Reuben, I am already home. That’s right. Don’t worry. That old man did not notice anything abnormal at all. He is feeling a little unwell, probably because he is mentally and physically exhausted. He has already gone back to his room to rest.”At this time, the high-fidelity directional microphone also caught Reuben’s voice from the phone call, and he could be heard asking, “Dad, when are you going to give the medicine to that old man?”Tyler smiled as he said, “Don’t worry. There is no suitable timing for me to do so yet. I have already instructed the chef to prepare a bowl of bird’s nest for your grandfather. I will take it from them later and add the medicine to the bird’s nest before sending it to his room. I will stay there and watch him finish it in front of me!”Reuben hurriedly asked again, “Dad, how long will it take for the medicine to take effect, then?”Tyler replied, “Since time is a
As soon as Oscar heard Lord Moore’s instructions, he did not hesitate as he nodded his head and said, “Lord Moore, don’t worry. You can rest assured that I will keep all of your instructions in mind!”It was only then that Lord Moore could finally feel relieved. He waved his hands weakly before he said, “Oscar, I am feeling a little tired. You can go ahead and get busy. I will rest for a short while.”Oscar replied nervously, “Lord Moore, why don’t you go and rest in the bedroom, then? I will be keeping guard in the living room outside. Otherwise, I will really feel very worried…”Lord Moore had a wry smile on his face as he asked him, “Are you afraid that you will not be by my side when they are giving me the medicine?”“That’s right…” Oscar’s eyes were flushed red, and he said seriously. “Lord Moore, although Master Wade is truly very capable and powerful, when it comes to this kind of matter, I am honestly afraid that something bad will happen…”Lord Moore smiled indifferently
Therefore, after Tyler had given him the medicine and before Charlie came back, Lord Moore would be a patient with Alzheimer’s disease.A patient with Alzheimer’s disease would not know how to use their cell phones. So, Lord Moore would not be able to touch his cell phone during this period of time.Thus, Lord Moore decided to delete the software directly from his cell phone as a precautionary step.After that, Lord Moore retrieved the Rejuvenating Pill before he scraped a layer off from the pill. He then diluted it in water and took it directly.Soon after, he returned to his bed and laid down.At this time, the visual screen at the head of his bed suddenly lit up. Lord Moore could see Tyler appearing in the picture, followed by a melodious ringtone.This was the sound of the doorbell for Lord Moore’s room.As his own suite was really big, whenever he was in the study room or bedroom, he would not be able to hear anyone knocking on his door outside. Therefore, h
Lord Moore’s sudden sigh made Tyler feel more or less guilty.However, after observing Lord Moore carefully, Tyler realized that there was nothing wrong or abnormal with the old man at all. So, he immediately felt relieved.He felt that he had never gone against any of Lord Moore’s intentions at all. He did not even express strong opposition when the old man had decided to give the position as the head of the Moore family to Jasmine. So, there should be no reason for the old man to doubt him at all.Thus, Tyler smiled as he said respectfully, “Dad, you should finish drinking it while it is hot. After this, I will ask the chef to prepare a pot of nutritious chicken soup for you later in the evening so that you can replenish your body.”Lord Moore nodded, but he did not say anything at all as he finished drinking all the bird’s nest in the bowl.When Tyler saw that the old man had finished up the entire bowl of bird’s nest, Tyler was completely relieved. At this time, he sneered as
Several servants suddenly ran over and asked, “Sir, what happened?!”Tyler replied, “I pressed Lord Moore’s doorbell a couple of times, but he did not respond at all. I am afraid that something might have happened to him. You should help me to knock this door open!”When the several servants heard this, they suddenly felt very nervous. One of them took the initiative and said, “I will do it!”Another person hurriedly said, “I will do it with you too!”At this time, Oscar also hurried over to Tyler as he asked nervously, “Sir, what happened to Lord Moore?”When Tyler saw Oscar, he hurriedly said, “Uncle Oscar, you’ve come at the right time. My father is in the room, but he did not respond at all even after I pressed the doorbell several times. I am afraid that something has already happened to him!”Oscar’s heart tensed immediately, and he realized that Tyler must have already given the medicine to the old man. Oscar suddenly felt a little angry, sad, and worried all at the same t
Tyler hurriedly made the arrangements to send Lord Moore to the hospital before returning to his room to change into a new set of clothes.As he was changing into a new set of clothes, Tyler called Reuben to officially inform him to return to Aurous Hill immediately.Reuben had been waiting for this news all this while. So, he hurriedly arranged for the private jet to make all the necessary preparations to take off. He arranged for the flight to leave Tokyo early in the morning the next day.To prevent Charlie from having any doubts or suspicions, Reuben also called Charlie. Reuben was very respectful toward Charlie over the phone as he said, “Master Wade, I just received a phone call from my father. It seems that there is some problem with my grandfather’s health, and my father asked me to rush back to Aurous Hill as soon as possible. Therefore, I might be leaving Tokyo early in the morning tomorrow…”Charlie pretended to be surprised as he asked, “Reuben, what is wrong with your
Two years ago, a big Japanese boss had bought a bluefin tuna weighing two hundred and seventy-eight kilograms, and he had paid a total of 3.1 million US dollars for it. The average price per kilogram was eleven thousand US dollars.If this kind of high-quality bluefin tuna was delivered to the top restaurants, the price would be several times higher.The price of eating the most expensive bluefin tuna in the most high-end shops was even more expensive than gold.As for the fifty-year-old Yamazaki whiskey, it was Japan’s top national whiskey, and a single bottle of this whiskey cost more than three million dollars.The fact that Yahiko was hosting a banquet using such expensive ingredients and drinks was already sufficient to prove the importance and value that he attached to Charlie.When Charlie entered the dining room, he saw that Yahiko had already been waiting there for a long time.At this time, there was a huge bluefin tuna that was placed in the center of the huge wooden d
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
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
