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
As soon as he heard Charlie’s request, Yahiko replied without any hesitation at all. “Mr. Wade, preparing a boat for you is a trivial matter. I can prepare a luxury yacht for you at any time, and I can also make sure that you will be able to leave Tokyo by sea without any hindrances at all. I wonder, when are you planning to leave, then?”Charlie asked him, “How long would it take for me to return to my country by sea?”Yahiko replied, “Luxury yachts are generally larger in size, and large ships have high stability and strong resistance to wind and waves. However, their speed will be slightly slower, then. The average speed per hour is only about fifty to sixty kilometers. If you were to return to Aurous Hill from Japan, you will have to go through the Yaak River estuary in Raventon first. There is probably a distance of two thousand kilometers, and you will be sailing for at least thirty hours.”As he spoke, Yahiko said again, “However, since we are trying to smuggle out of the cou
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
