When Nanako heard this, she asked in surprise, “Charlie, what kind of gift are you going to give him?”Charlie smiled and said, “I presume that he must be feeling very anxious and angry now because he cannot understand how Rosalie could disappear and get switched out with someone else, right?”Nanako replied, “That is indeed the case. My father said that man is under a lot of pressure at the moment because it is admittedly very difficult to lead and deal with this kind of critical task. The main reason is because the citizens’ expectations are certainly very high. If he does a good job, everyone will unquestionably be very happy. However, if he fails to do his job, it is very likely for him to suffer and face the citizens’ anger and rage.”Charlie agreed as he said, “Yes. This kind of matter is a double-edged sword. If it is not used well, the person will get hurt himself.”As he spoke, Charlie smiled as he said, “However, the gift that I am going to give him will help him turn thi
Charlie laughed as he said, “Didn’t you say that he used to work for the Homeland Security Bureau? As far as I know, homeland security is the most important for any country. Therefore, the people working in the Homeland Security Bureau certainly have a higher position compared to those in the military. You can ask him to ask his former colleagues or leader to help him. I believe that the Homeland Security Bureau will surely come forward to arrest the people in the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces will not have the guts to interfere in this matter.”After pausing for a moment, Charlie said again, “After the officers from the Homeland Security Bureau arrests those men, they can hand those men over to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for questioning and interrogation. No matter how many people are arrested, they should be isolated, and each and every one of them should be interrogated separately! He will certainly be able to find a piece of key e
When Sheldon saw that his father seemed a little enraged, he hurriedly stood up as he bowed respectfully and said, “Dad, calm down and don’t be angry. That is not what I meant. I am just worried about Rosalie. No matter what it is, Rosalie is still my flesh and blood. Since her life and death and her whereabouts are still completely unknown, I am indeed a little too anxious…”Lord Schulz looked at him coldly before he said, word by word, “Sheldon, you have to be calm and composed even when faced with difficulties and changes if you want to do great things. You are already panicking like this just because of the disappearance of an illegitimate child? If I were to die one day, would you be able to manage the Schulz family, then?!”Sheldon began to quiver as soon as he heard these words!He thought to himself, ‘The old man is already starting to doubt my thoughts and abilities now. This is not a good sign!’‘If I continue showing too much concern about Rosalie over this matter and if
Sheldon was worried that he would cause the old man to feel dissatisfied with him because of this matter involving Rosalie. If the old man chose to remove him, he would certainly suffer extremely heavy losses. His whole life’s effort would just go to waste, then.As he thought about this, Sheldon decided that he would have to control his own emotions as much as possible in front of the old man when it came to Rosalie’s matter. He should not allow the old man to feel any dissatisfaction toward him!His daughter was naturally important to him, but the position as the head of the Schulz family was even more important.Furthermore, Rosalie was merely his illegitimate daughter!***Meanwhile, Lord Schulz also felt more or less worried even after losing his temper at Sheldon.In truth, the main reason why he had gotten angry at Sheldon was mainly because he wanted to hide his guilty conscience.After all, Lord Schulz was the one who had decided to betray Rosalie.The old man had alre
At this moment, in Tokyo, Japan.The forty-eight-year-old Suzuki Tomohisa was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office where he had just taken office. He was completely helpless and at a loss for what to do.He was the new Superintendent General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.Prior to this, he was a middle-level senior officer at the Homeland Security Bureau. He was very well-known, and he had a good reputation in the Homeland Security Bureau because he was very good at investigating, and not to mention, his methods were also very solid and impressive. This time, when it was discovered that Rosalie had been switched out for someone else, the whole of Japan had been shocked. The Japanese government was also overwhelmed because of this matter, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had become the target of public criticism.Since there was truly no other way, the Japanese government could only entrust Tomohisa with this mission at this tou
Tomohisa said angrily, “Tell them that there is currently no progress on this matter. If there is any substantial progress, I will surely hold a press conference to make an announcement to the domestic and even the worldwide media.”His deputy nodded and said, “Okay, Mr. Suzuki! I will go and give them an answer now!”Tomohisa stopped him and said, “Oh, yes. From now on, no media or reporters are allowed to enter the premises of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department without any invitation or permission!”“Okay! I got it!”After his deputy went out, Tomohisa rubbed his temples as he felt very vexed, and he muttered to himself, “Sigh… it is really not a good thing to be entrusted with this kind of critical and difficult mission! This case has such a great influence. It is not only the people in the country who are paying attention to this matter, but even the overseas media are also interested in this case. If I do not handle this matter well, my reputation will certainly be ruine
Nanako’s words overturned all of Tomohisa’s guesses and inferences in regards to this whole matter.He would never have expected that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces would actually get involved in this kind of matter, and a strong wave of anger arose in his heart in an instant!Immediately afterward, Tomohisa ground his teeth and said, “Nanako, I truly have to thank you and your friend for this information. I will certainly arrest all the relevant people, interrogate them, and put them on trial as soon as possible!”Nanako smiled as she said, “Suzuki, I hope that this clue will be of some help to you.”Tomohisa replied steadfastly and affirmatively, “Nanako, if this clue is indeed true, you would have certainly helped me a lot!”After that, Tomohisa hurriedly said, “Nanako, I will not continue chatting with you anymore. I have to hurry up and make all the arrangements for the arrests first!”“Okay, Suzuki!”After Tomohisa had hung up the phone, he immediately contacted his old
However, she had only just discovered that Charlie was not home after she had arrived.It turned out that Charlie had already left for Japan because of an emergency a few days ago and had not returned yet.This made Loreen feel a little lost and despondent. Her originally happy and ecstatic mood instantly dimmed a lot.In fact, Loreen had actually been a little hesitant when Claire and her family had invited her to stay and join them for lunch just half an hour ago. She felt that since Charlie was not at home, she would only be wasting an opportunity to get closer to Charlie if she were to stay at Claire’s house for lunch today.She was thinking of telling them that she would just visit them again another day, but Loreen could not turn them down because Claire had been very enthusiastic, and she finally agreed to stay for lunch with them. However, Loreen would never have expected Charlie to come home even before they had started eating their meal!Therefore, Loreen was looking a
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
