Matilda replied, “I just measured it. It was thirty-nine point two degrees Celsius. I already ate the fever medicine, but it seems like it hasn’t taken effect yet.” Once Jacob heard the temperature, he felt as though his heart was being torn out. He proactively bent down and pressed his forehead against Matilda’s forehead. After feeling it for a moment, he blurted out, “Your forehead is indeed terribly hot. Why don’t you go sit down on the sofa first, and I’ll get you a wet towel.” Matilda said in embarrassment, “I’m so sorry to trouble you, Jacob…” Jacob said solemnly, “Why are you being so polite with me? Do you remember the time during university, when I was in my dormitory and had a fever which made me unable to attend class? You took the initiative to skip class and went over the wall to the boys’ dormitory and took care of me for the entire day.” When Matilda heard this, her expression immediately became extremely shy. The past that Jacob had mentioned, naturally, she r

“Oh!” Although Jacob felt a sense of disappointment, he still had to pretend to have a sudden realization. He patted his head and exclaimed, “Oh! My stupid mind keeps recalling memories of the past and forgetting the more important matter at hand.” He then hurriedly said, “Matilda, please sit down and wait for me. I will get you the wet towel!” Matilda hurriedly replied, “There is a bathroom on the first floor. Just make a left turn in front.” “Great!” Seeing that Jacob had turned around and gone to the bathroom, Matilda finally felt a sense of relief. In truth, Jacob’s purpose was very clear to her. To be honest, Jacob was not only her first love, but he was also the man she had loved the most in her entire life. So, naturally, she has some fantasies and expectations for Jacob. However, she was a woman who had received higher education and had been decent her entire life. She knew that although Jacob and Elaine were separated for now, their marriage was still official.

Jacob smiled and said, “Why are you thanking me? That time, didn’t you do the same for me?” Matilda heard those words, and her face blushed even more. She whispered helplessly, “It’s all in the past… You shouldn’t be constantly talking about it…” “Impossible!” Jacob said emotionally, “I will never forget what happened that day, even till the day I die. After so many years, I have been wanting to tell you. It’s just that I didn’t get the chance. Now, a good opportunity has arisen, and yet you still want to stop me from saying…” Matilda said helplessly, “I didn’t stop you from saying it… I just… I just…” Matilda didn’t know how to continue the topic. So, she sighed and said, “Hey, I was just thinking… If you come here after such a late hour, wouldn’t Elaine be very upset if she finds out? Why don’t you go home now? Let’s not make Elaine unhappy.” The moment Jacob heard her mentioning Elaine’s name, he snorted coldly. “Matilda, don’t mention that old hag in front of me. If i

Seeing Matilda promise to let him take her to the bedroom, Jacob was overjoyed with excitement. Ever since Matilda had come back to Oskia, Jacob had been looking forward to having the opportunity to relive his old dreams with her. Finally, today marked the beginning of something to look forward to. Under normal circumstances, Matilda was beautiful, dignified, and very independent. It was not easy to approach such a woman. However, Jacob knew in his heart that no matter how strong a woman’s heart was, she would unmistakably become a damsel in distress when she fell sick. At this time, no matter how powerful a woman was, she would surely drop all of her defenses. Jacob graciously helped Matilda into the elevator of the villa and took it all the way to the third floor. After Matilda had directed Jacob to assist her to the bedroom, she lay on the bed with his help. Jacob graciously helped her place two pillows behind her so that she could lean against the soft bed comfortably

With that being said, he hurriedly took another spoonful and fed it to Matilda. Matilda had had no appetite at all, but when she thought of having her energy replenished and the importance of nutrition, she forced herself to open her mouth and ate a spoonful of millet porridge. What surprised her was that as soon as the millet porridge entered her abdomen, she felt an extraordinary flow of heat flowing down the throat and into her stomach. It then dissolved in her stomach and warmed her entire body. This warm current was very rare for Matilda, who had been feeling cold all the time. She felt a lot more comfortable instantly. She couldn’t help but praise, “Jacob, this millet porridge is indeed comfortable to consume!” Jacob smiled and said, “That’s for sure! I have studied all kinds of health knowledge and am very experienced in it! In the past, when you were in the United States, it’s most likely that your lifestyle had been westernized. They only know when to take medications,

Jacob was stunned by the scene in front of him before he could even finish saying the word ‘bath’.Right then, Matilda had gotten out of bed and was standing by the bed.The down jacket had been taken off her body and she wore only a home singlet, not to mention that the sleeves on both sides were pushed up above her elbows.How was Matilda so different at this time as compared to that sickly look just now?!Looking at her, it could be said that she was in a state of excellent spirit. Her complexion was rosy and lustrous…What was more exaggerated was that at this time, Matilda, who was stretching her arms forcefully, may have felt that it was not enough to relieve the tension. So, she simply jumped twice.Jacob was dumbfounded. After being amazed for quite some time, he finally came back to his senses. He stammered and asked, "That… Matilda… You… How did you get out of bed?!"Matilda said with a strong voice, "Jacob! I feel completely well thanks to your bowl of millet porridge

As he thought of this, Jacob could only say begrudgingly, "Well, since you want to run, I will definitely have to accompany you, then!""That's great!" Matilda was busy saying, "In that case, you can go out first. I'll change my clothes quickly and we'll leave immediately!""Okay..." Jacob, who was depressed, could only agree, turn around dejectedly, and go out the door.This bedroom, originally in his eyes, was the tender place he had left behind for almost thirty years.But now, he could only stand outside the door, waiting for Matilda to change her clothes inside.The key was that Matilda, after changing her clothes, was dragging him to go running…The depressed Jacob let out a long sigh, covering his face with one hand and holding his head with the other as he squatted down in front of Matilda's bedroom.As he was squatting down, he was still thinking, 'What went wrong in the end?! It's hard to believe that the millet porridge really had such a magical effect!'After three

While Jacob was running after Matilda by the riverside until his legs were almost broken, Charlie was only a few kilometers away from the Moore family's manor in the far suburbs of Aurous Hill.At this moment, in the banquet hall of the Moore family's manor, the father and daughter of the Ito family as well as Emi and Tanaka were talking with Lord Moore, who was accompanied by Jasmine.The cooperation between the Moore family and Nippon Steel was all because of Charlie, who had cured the chairman of Nippon Steel, Shinwa, but it was also thanks to Yahiko who had made the bridge.Moreover, after being saved by Charlie, Jasmine had also been under the Ito family’s care when she had encountered an accident in Japan.Therefore, Lord Moore was very polite to his guests.As for Nanako, she was busy whispering away with Jasmine. The two kept exchanging pleasantries and laughed uncontrollably from time to time, just like good sisters.The Akita dog that Nanako had brought with her was lyi

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

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
