Chapter 2281

Author: Lord Leaf
After leaving Pearl River Point, Charlie rushed to the wet market.

He had spent too much time dealing with Wendy’s matter. If he didn’t hurry to buy the food back to cook, Claire would not be able to eat lunch when she got home from work.

Although Aurous Hill was an ancient city, it was getting more and more modernized nowadays. Most of the old buildings were either destroyed, demolished, or renovated to suit the modernization of the city. They had basically turned into skyscrapers and high-rise buildings of the modern metropolitan city.

Many traditional craft stores and markets were gradually being replaced by a variety of luxurious shop lots as well as integrated supermarkets.

In the early years, there were a lot of roadside barbers who had excellent skills in haircutting and shaving. A simple haircut or shave was only about two to three dollars.

However, these ancient and old-schooled barbers had long since disappeared and were now replaced by the dazzling and high-end hair sal

    After Uncle Walters had stepped out of the car, he pulled the door of the back seat open and said respectfully to the woman sitting in the car, “Miss Helen, we have arrived.”The woman sitting in the car was none other than Helen.Upon disembarking the plane, she had first taken Jaime and Sophie back to the Dunn family’s old mansion with Uncle Walters to settle down and put away their luggage. Then, she had hurriedly asked Uncle Walters to bring her to see the place where Curtis had lived before he passed away.As for Jaime and Sophie, they each had their own plans in the city.Jaime went to the orphanage to talk about the donations while Sophie was sitting in her room with her laptop, continuing to search for Charlie among the thousands of people in the video.Helen was happy with their own arrangement, though. After all, she was visiting Curtis’s old residence, who was the love of her life. She didn’t feel it was appropriate to bring along her children.At this moment, Helen wa

    Helen subconsciously substituted herself as Curtis’s wife in her mind, and she instantly felt that her eyes were already filled with tears.She wanted to hold the tears back, but she really would not have expected that big drops of tears would gush out of her eyes because she could not control it or hold it back at all. The tears slid down her wrinkle-free face which seemed to show no signs of aging whatsoever.The old butler who was standing aside could only sigh silently when he saw this.“Sigh… who in the entire capital would not know that the second lady of the Dunn family has been deeply in love with Curtis for so many years…”“However, who would have known that the second lady would still have such deep feelings and affection for him even after Curtis has already passed away nearly twenty years ago…”Ever since time began, love and sentimental affections would leave nothing but everlasting hatred behind.According to the ancient time, regret would be more suited for the wor

    As soon as Helen heard this, she suddenly became very excited, and she blurted out, “Help me look further into it. I want to win the bid for this mansion.”The old butler nodded and said, “This mansion occupies a small area and cannot be demolished in the future. So, it is considered a low-quality asset that cannot be circulated. Therefore, it should be relatively easy for us to win the bid for this mansion when the time comes.”“Okay.” Helen replied determinedly, “We have to win the bid for this mansion no matter how much it is going to cost!”After she was done speaking, she hurriedly asked, “Uncle Walters, did you help me to speak to anyone from the judiciary? Can I go in and take a look at the mansion now?”“Yes, yes.” The old butler hurriedly said, “When I was on the phone with them just now, they told me that they will be coming over here for the asset registration and evaluation over the next two days because they will have to collect some materials in preparation for the ju

    There was about an eighty percent resemblance between Charlie and his father, Curtis’s appearance.As the father and son were both from different generations, there was a big difference in their hairstyle and fashion sense. If Charlie had dressed according to his father’s style back then, the similarity in their appearances could actually make Charlie seem as though he was his father.Therefore, as soon as Helen saw him, she was so shocked, almost as though she had just seen something unbelievable.She was stunned, and apart from feeling extremely shocked, she was also completely at a loss.She did not even know if she was having hallucinations because she missed Curtis too much.Otherwise, why would a man who looked so similar to Curtis suddenly appear before her very eyes?!Moreover, when Curtis had died, he was only in his thirties.The time when Helen and Curtis had had the most contact with each other was the period before Curtis’s marriage. The both of them had barely had

    Charlie felt his eyelids twitching wildly. So, he immediately turned his head around without any hesitation at all. After that, he stepped on the accelerator and left in a hurry.When Helen saw Charlie disappearing before her eyes, she hurriedly ran out to chase after him. However, when she came out, Charlie was already gone.She stood at the entrance in a daze as she looked around anxiously. After that, she murmured, “Was I hallucinating?”As she spoke, she hurriedly turned around and asked the old butler who had followed behind her, “Uncle Walters, did you see a young man who looked particularly like Curtis just now?”Although the old butler had only caught a glimpse of Charlie, he could still reply with great certainty, “Miss Helen, I saw a young man riding an electric bike just now. He certainly looks just like Mr. Wade!”As soon as Helen heard this, she was so excited that she was trembling a little as she spoke up and said, “That’s right… that’s right… Uncle Walters, since y

    At the same time, Charlie had already escaped hundreds of meters away on his electric bike.In order to make sure that Helen would not be able to find him, he did not even buy any groceries, and he simply rushed all the way back to the villa at Thompson First.While he was on the way, Charlie called Isaac. As soon as the phone call was connected, Charlie instructed, “Mr. Cameron, someone went to the old mansion where my parents used to live today. Please help me find out who that person is!”Isaac asked in surprise, “Young Master, you went back to the old mansion today?”“Yes!” Charlie said, “I saw a woman there. She looked at me and called out my father’s name. I want you to help me find out about her identity and to find out whether this person is an enemy or a friend. I want to know how this person is connected to my father.”“Okay!” Isaac replied without any hesitation, “I will look into this matter now!”Charlie said again, “By the way, there is one more thing that you need

    “Okay, Young Master!”After hanging up the phone, Charlie could not help but feel a headache.He realized that there seemed to be a strong and strange magnetic field between him and the Schulz family.He had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to ask the Schulz family about the Anti-Wade Alliance back then because he wanted to make the Schulz family pay the price and consequences for setting up the Anti-Wade Alliance. However, during this period of time, he had already had various encounters with the members of the Schulz family even before he could look for the Schulz family to settle the score with them.First, he had accidentally saved two descendants of the Schulz family in Japan, which were none other than Jaime and Sophie. When Charlie had rescued them, he had not known that they were Sheldon’s children.After that, Charlie had passed by Sheldon again in the Tokyo Hospital. However, at that time, Charlie did not know that the man who was so close to him was none other t

    Helen felt a little lost and despondent after leaving Charlie’s parents’ former residence.On one hand, it was because she missed Curtis. On the other hand, it was also because she had seen Charlie just now. She felt that he really looked very similar to Curtis, and this brought back many memories of her youth.After returning to the Dunn family mansion in Aurous Hill, the maid had already prepared a sumptuous lunch.Jaime had also just returned from donating money to the orphanage. When he saw that Helen was already back, he hurriedly asked her, “Mom, where did you go in the morning?”Helen came back to her senses amidst her chaotic thoughts, but she was still a little absent-minded as she said, “Oh, I did not really go anywhere. I simply allowed Uncle Walters to bring me out to look around.”At this moment, a maid walked in and said respectfully, “Miss Helen, lunch is already ready.”Helen nodded before she said to Jaime, “Go and ask your sister to come out for lunch.

    Ares LLP was the biggest law firm in the States, and only the best of the best were recruited as associates.If Jimmy got to pick ten of their partners, he was basically taking a huge chunk out of their human resources.Moreover, the partners' salaries would be very expensive. With Jimmy included, eleven of them meant over a hundred million US dollars at minimum. Ares would definitely be maimed if they had to pay that much money while losing ten of their elites! Naturally, Jimmy didn't feel confident about achieving that, and he asked Charlie, "Mr. Wade… Don't you think it's too much? Would Nate even agree to that?"Charlie shrugged. "Of course he won't agree if you're the one asking, but he would definitely say yes if it were Julien."Julien almost rolled his eyes.The man was truly ruthless, ready to inflict so much damage at the drop of a hat.Worst of all, he was going to play the villain for Charlie.Still, he said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade! I will pressure him

    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
