Faced with Edmund’s struggle, Charlie said calmly, “Edmund, don’t worry. Even without the kidney, Doris’s father will not die!” Edmund shook his head and replied confidently, “That’s impossible! RH negative kidneys are hard to find. Without mine, he can only wait for death!” Then, he quickly knelt before Doris and cried, “Doris, I’m begging you. If you give me a chance and do not hand me over to the police, I will give you a hundred million dollars! Please, don’t ever send me to the police! Otherwise, my life is finished…” Just as Doris was about to reject his request, Charlie, who was at the side, laughed and said, “Don’t worry, Edmund. I will surely not hand you over to the police!” Edmund thought that his promise of a hundred million dollars had had an effect. So, he hurriedly said, “Master Wade! As long as you let me leave Aurous Hill, I will send you a cheque of a hundred million dollars once I arrive back in the United States!” Charlie waved h
Therefore, Charlie also suspected that his parents’ death was related to the Rothschild family.Because of this, when he heard that the Whittaker family and Rothschild family were kith and kin, he could not help but lament in his heart, ‘I never thought my first encounter with the Rothschild family would come so fast.’ Therefore, Charlie asked Isaac curiously: “The Whittaker family and Rothschild family have what kind of kith and kin relationship, to be specific?” Isaac described: “At most, they are distant relatives… After all, the Whittaker family and Rothschild family have grown for so many years. There are more than ten thousand people with the family name Rothschild. Besides, there are also many distant relatives with a different family name.” “This means that Edmund’s grandmother is from the Rothschild family. However, his grandmother’s side is not pivotal in the Rothschild family. At most, she was just like a princess in the Golden Age, who was the most margina
“But soon, they will be!” Edmund, who was by the side, was dumbfounded, and he mumbled... Then, he speculated in confusion, ‘What does he f*cking mean by ‘soon they will be’?! This Wade guy is ridiculous… I f*cking hate Oskians when they talk vaguely and not clearly…’ Just as he was in the dark about what Charlie meant, Charlie said to Isaac: “One more thing, Isaac, please get me some mercury dichloride. I intend to use it.” When Charlie said this, Edmund felt as though he had been struck by lightning! ‘Ah?! What does this Wade guy plan to do with mercury dichloride?!’ ‘Also, why did he ask for dialysis equipment to be set up?!’ ‘And! He asked people to prepare the dialysis equipment and even said ‘soon they will be’... what is ‘soon to be’? What’s that?!’ ‘Now, he wants mercury dichloride, this… is he asking me to consume it?!’ Thinking of this, Edmund felt as if he was about to collapse. Kneeling with both knees on the gro
At this moment, he finally realized that he had caused big trouble! Hence, looking toward Doris, Edmund cried and begged, “Doris! I beg you to send me to the police! Let me face legal sanctions and a just trial, please. I beg you, Doris! Please pity me, Doris!” Edmund knew in his heart that although it was scary to be in jail, at least he could enter the prison healthily. If he were to be in the hands of Charlie and to be tossed around by him, he would not only face all kinds of painful torture but in fact, he might die cruelly in the dog farm in the end. Thus, comparatively, to be in prison was much more humane. Charlie ridiculed him, “Edmund, you change really fast. Didn’t you beg Doris not too long ago to not hand you over to the police? A few minutes have just passed, and you have already begun to beg her to send you to the police? Edmund cried painfully and answered, “Master Wade… Master Wade, please be merciful. Call 911 and let the police
Isaac and Albert’s men were swift in their actions. Within ten minutes, all of Edmund’s men in Aurous Hill, including Samson, who was preparing to dispose of the corpse, were restrained by Isaac and Albert’s men. Isaac himself came to Silverwing Hospital. His men brought guns and surrounded the two vehicles of Edmund’s men. Once the guns were aimed at the five men, they straightaway surrendered and gave in without a fight. Subsequently, these five men were brought into a modified minibus. Their cars, the Rolls-Royce and Buick, were driven away by Albert’s men. These two cars would be sent straight to Albert’s car recycling factory to be dismantled tonight, crushed into a pile of scraps, and thrown into the steelmaking furnace. In other words, after tonight, even the Gods would not be able to search for the whereabouts of these two cars. Then, Isaac called Charlie and informed him, “Young Master, the five men at the ground floor
‘The ability of the Wade Family is at least a dozen times stronger than the Rothschild Family!’ Thinking of this, Edmund only then realized how pathetic and absurd he had been. He thought that by coming to Aurous Hill, he would be able to do whatever he wanted by hiding from Isaac. However, he had never thought that he would offend the Young Master of the Wade family so quickly! Hence, he slapped himself hard and wept, “Young Master Wade, I have eyes but cannot see. I did not expect to offend you. I did not know Doris was your friend! If I knew all these things, even if I was beaten to death, I would not have had any intention toward her…” Charlie laughed, “Did you know that Emgrand Group belongs to me as well?” “Eh?!” Edmund was goggle-eyed, and he blurted, “This… this… this I truly did not know, Young Master Wade… If I knew, I would not have dared to have evil thoughts about Emgrand Group even if you gave me the courage to do so…” Before Edmund ha
A hopeless Edmund was dragged away by Isaac’s men and taken out of the hospital. After he had left, all CCTV footage of him was cleverly removed by Isaac’s men completely.As a result, no one would be able to find Edmund’s footage in Aurous Hill. It would be even more impossible to trace his activity. When Edmund’s family members finally realized that he was missing and came to Aurous Hill to look for him, they would only notice that this person had vanished into thin air. As they left, Charlie asked Isaac to arrange for experts to give Edmund a taste of his own favorite mercury dichloride and wait till he got sick just like Doris’s father and put him on dialysis. This was what Charlie meant by ‘doing unto him as he does unto you’. To these extremely corrupted monsters, only through this method could Edmund be taught a real lesson. Doris, who was at the side, saw with her own eyes how Charlie handled this matter satisfyingly to decide Ed
At this moment, Charlie uttered, “Aunty, to most doctors, kidney failure is indeed irreversible. However, my ancestor still managed to preserve some good prescriptions. To cure this isn’t very hard.” “Really?!” Faith could not hold back her excitement, and she replied with a lump in her throat, “Then, Mr. Wade, please intervene and save my husband… Throughout his life, he was a good teacher and had a noble character. He never once did a bad thing and should not have ended up like this…” As she spoke, Faith looked toward Doris, who was by her side. Holding Doris’s hands tightly, she cried, “He used more than twenty years of his life to nurture Doris. He has not yet seen Doris wearing a wedding gown and getting married. He has also not yet enjoyed the family fun of three generations. If he were to go like this, God really has no eyes…” Nodding his head, Charlie said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Aunty. As long as Uncle eats the medicine prepared by me, the disease will su
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
Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he
