Sean’s words immediately touched Donald’s heart.As a father, he naturally felt that his youngest son, Kian, was even more pitiful.However, as the head of the family, he realized that if he had the opportunity to cure any one of the two brothers, choosing to cure his eldest son, Sean, would certainly be a much more cost-effective decision.‘As Sean has said, Kian’s incident has already left a very deep impression on the people in the whole country before this. It could be said that he has already left an unforgettable impression on everyone.’‘So, even if I have the opportunity to cure Kian and return him to his normal state, as long as he appears in front of the public’s field of vision, it will certainly awaken everyone’s unforgettable memory of him…’‘After all, even if he was completely healed, he cannot possibly go around telling and explaining to others that he would not need to eat that kind of thing anymore in the future…’As soon as he understood this fact, Donald decid
The butler replied truthfully, “Lord Schulz, the influence of the video is still expanding greatly. It has already gradually spread overseas from within the country. The overall public opinion on this matter is extremely detrimental to the Schulz family.”“Also, Jefferson from the Dunn family has already tried calling you at least ten times. I did not dare to answer his call at all…”“Several leaders in Eastcliff have also called us to question us about this matter. They are all very angry about this matter, and they want the Schulz family to give them a clear explanation and solution to this matter. I gave them the excuse that this matter will have to be temporarily delayed because you are currently ill. However, they want you to give them a clear statement about this issue within twenty-four hours…”Cadfan could not help but sigh as he ground his teeth and said, “Since the short video platform belongs to the Wade family, it is definitely impossible for us to engage in any public r
To win Donald over, Cadfan asked his butler to bring some gifts with him when he went to visit the Webb family.The Schulz family’s chief butler had the same qualifications and status as Stephen, and he might even be more powerful in comparison. Besides, the chief butler not only represented himself, but he also represented the head of the Schulz family, Cadfan. Therefore, the fact that Cadfan was asking the chief butler to visit Donald in person was already giving the Webb family a lot of face.Cadfan attached great importance to winning the Webb family over. That was the reason why he had personally sent the chief butler to visit them on his behalf.Cadfan also knew very well that he was already a person that was hated by everyone right now. Therefore, it would be impossible for him to return to Eastcliff within this short period of time.Therefore, he would have to be prepared to stay in Sudbury for a long time.This incident gave him the feeling of similarity to the period of
Aside from acting as a protection amulet, the will could also act as family insurance.An ancient king would often be worried that his heir would be a fatuous and self-indulgent ruler that would throw away all of the country’s blessings, without leaving any blessings behind for the future generations.As for the modern wealthy men, they would also be afraid that their heirs would end up becoming prodigal sons and ultimately ruin the family inheritance.Therefore, almost every wealthy man would set up a trust fund. That way, if he did not have any worthy descendants to succeed him and inherit the family, the wealthy man would simply hand all of the family’s assets and properties over to the trust fund so that he could ensure that the descendants of their family would be able to live in comfort forever. That way, they would always have money to spend and they would never lose their property.Furthermore, the rule of relying on the number of descendants to gain even more living expens
Sheldon’s private jet began descending over the suburbs of Sudbury at four o’clock in the afternoon.When he saw that he was about to land at the Sudbury Airport, Sheldon hurriedly used his cell phone to call his son, Jaime.At this time, Jaime had already driven all the way to Sudbury Airport. He parked his car in the parking lot, and he stayed inside the car as he waited for news from his father.When he saw the phone call from his father, Jaime hurriedly answered the call before he asked, “Dad, where are you?”Sheldon said, “I should be landing in another twenty minutes or so. Are you there yet?”“I am already here.” Jaime said, “Tell me after you leave customs. I will come and pick you up.”“Okay!” Sheldon told him, “Don’t forget to wear sunglasses and a mask. The Schulz family is in a very sensitive and critical situation right now. We cannot allow anyone to find out that we are here in Sudbury.”“I know, Dad.”After hanging up the phone, Jaime quickly put on his mask and
Sheldon said seriously, “The incident that your mother and Sophie have encountered this time is an excellent opportunity for us to do so. Anyone with discerning eyes can see that there is someone who is targeting and trying to attack our family. Moreover, the opponent is extremely capable, and it seems as though the other party has already been planning this for a very long time. If we can assist and help your grandfather find the mastermind behind the scenes and eliminate all the threats to the Schulz family, your grandfather will certainly be filled with admiration for us!”Immediately afterward, Sheldon added, “You have to know that your grandfather has already been nailed to the pillar of shame now, and it will be impossible for him to clear his name until the day he dies!”“So, we have to make sure that he is satisfied with us during the time before his death, and we have to be obedient and respectful toward him without challenging his authority and majesty as the head of the fa
Sheldon’s words touched Cadfan’s heart immediately.Although Cadfan had taken the initiative to apologize to Sheldon and Jaime about Helen and Sophie’s affairs as soon as they arrived, deep down in his heart, he did not want Sheldon and Jaime to be troubled by this issue.So, when Sheldon took the initiative to change the topic just now, he had inevitably catered to Cadfan’s innermost thoughts.So, Cadfan hurriedly said, “Sheldon, you are right. We have to be united and work together to find out who is the mastermind behind the scenes!”With that said, Cadfan asked Sheldon, “Sheldon, who could possibly be trying to go against us?”Sheldon subconsciously replied, “Dad, I have a feeling that this matter is related to the Wade family, but I do not have any evidence pointing directly at them to prove that they are indeed the mastermind behind this matter. I can only make some speculations that the Wade family has a part in this matter based on the short video platform. Furthermore, Au
As soon as Sheldon heard this, he subconsciously said, “Dad, Aurous Hill is a very mysterious and unpredictable place! My younger brother went missing there. If Jaime were to go to Aurous Hill in a high-profile manner, I am afraid…”Cadfan waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to be afraid! My guesses are generally not wrong! What we have to focus on right now is to find a way to lure that man out of his hiding place.”Sheldon could not help but have a very mixed and entangled expression on his face.Sophie’s whereabouts were still unknown, and no one knew whether she was already dead or still alive. Therefore, Sheldon could not help but feel extremely reluctant to let Jaime take the risk to head to Aurous Hill at this time.The reason why Steven had gotten kidnapped was because he had kept up such a high-profile as soon as he arrived in Aurous Hill.If Jaime were to also put on a high-profile as he headed to Aurous Hill, then there was an 80% probability of Jaime encountering
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
