Chapter 2596

Author: Lord Leaf
As he spoke, Yolden said jokingly, “By the way, Mr. Wilson, you look like you should be about fifty years old, right?”

“Yes. I am fifty years old.” Jacob replied as he nodded.

Yolden smiled before he said, “In that case, you cannot refer to me as a young man anymore. I am a few years older than you. I am fifty-five years old this year.”

“What?!” Jacob asked as he was dumbfounded. “You are fifty-five years old this year?!”

“Yes.” Yolden smiled as he said, “I just celebrated my 55th birthday in January this year.”

The expression on Jacob’s face suddenly became a little ugly.

It was not out of anger, but it was mainly due to Jacob’s inferiority complex.

Jacob had initially thought that Yolden should be around forty-five years old. However, he really would not have expected that this guy would actually be five years older than him!

At this time, Yolden looked at Matilda before he asked her, “By the way, Matilda, since Mr. Wilson has to go first because he is in a rush, what about y

    As he thought about the fact that he had never been to the United States before, Jacob could not help but hate Elaine even more in his heart.He sat in the co-driver seat as he cursed, “That b*tch, Elaine, is the one who ruined my whole life! If it weren’t because of her, I would have been a top student who graduated from a university in the United States! Perhaps I would have also been a professor working at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or even a professor working at Harvard in the United States!”As he spoke, he continued complaining angrily, “What happened in the end? As soon as I graduated from a local university, I got married to Elaine! I cannot get rid of her at all even up to this day!”Charlie could not help but comfort Jacob as he said, “It’s okay, Dad. There are some things that you cannot simply consider most optimistically. Although you are not in a happy marriage now, at the very least, you are in very good health. If you think about it from another point

    At that time, many famous people from Silicon Valley had accompanied him and his mother when they visited Stanford University. They were not well-known at the very beginning but now, all of them were internationally renowned.If it weren’t because of his parents’ accident back then, Charlie would have headed to the United States to study in a university there first. After finishing his MBA at Stanford University, Charlie would have chosen to stay back in Silicon Valley to start his own career there, or he could even return to Oskia to help his father in their family business, then.It was a pity that the car accident that had happened when Charlie was eight years old had completely changed his life trajectory. Charlie was not even given the opportunity to finish his undergraduate degree.Charlie could not help but feel a little sad and melancholic as he thought about this.When Jacob saw the melancholic expression on Charlie’s face, he could not help but ask, “Charlie, what’s wrong

    Early the next morning.The earliest high-speed train from Sudbury slowly stopped at the Aurous Hill Railway Station.There were an old man and a young man who stepped out of the business cabin at this time. These two people were none other than the Feng Shui master from the United States, Carvalho, and his great-grandson, Mason.After Mason stepped out of the train, he stretched out his hand to support Carvalho as he asked, “Great-Grandpa, have you already made a divination in advance to figure out if our trip to Aurous Hill this time would be a good or bad trip?”Mason knew his great-grandfather very well. He had already been cautious for so many years and so, he had already long formed a habit of his own. As long as he would be traveling, he would always draw a hexagram, to find out whether it would be a good or bad divination before he sets out on his journey.Carvalho was a little hesitant as he said, “I drew a hexagram between 3 am to 5 am in the morning, but this time, the

    The taxi driver’s face flushed red in an instant, and he hurriedly said, “How about one thousand five hundred dollars, then?”Mason wanted to continue haggling with the taxi driver. However, Carvalho interrupted him at this time as he said indifferently, “Alright, then. We will give you two thousand dollars for the ride. Mason, pay up.”Mason subconsciously said, “Grandpa, he just said that he will only charge us one thousand and five hundred dollars…”Carvalho said decisively, “Have you already forgotten what I told you earlier? Pay him the two thousand dollars.”Mason suddenly quivered before he nodded immediately before he counted and took out twenty pieces of hundred-dollar bills from his wallet before handing it over to the driver.In fact, Mason was not a stingy person, nor was he unable to afford two thousand dollars. However, he simply felt that he could not accept it when he obviously knew that the taxi driver was trying to make more money out of them.However, when he t

    Claire’s words made Charlie’s heart feel very warm.Over the years, Claire had always been very patient and accommodating toward him. Even when everyone was pointing their fingers at him and despising him over the past few years, Claire had never once complained about him, and she had never had any thoughts of divorcing him at all.Now that Claire was saying this from the bottom of her heart, this made Charlie feel even more touched.However, Charlie knew very well that Claire did not know anything about his true identity, his current wealth, or even the ocean shipping business that he had in mind.He assumed that Claire probably thought that he wanted to start a small-scale business when he mentioned the fact that he wanted to do his own business. She did not know that what he wanted to do was actually a large-scale project that was worth tens of billions of dollars.Charlie did not want to worry Claire too much, so he simply smiled and said, “Okay, I will listen to your advice t

    Charlie said, “That will not be necessary. The reason why I am calling you is because I want to ask for your advice on certain matters.”Doris hurriedly said, “Young Master, you are being too polite with me. You can just speak up if you have any questions for me, and I will certainly try my best to answer you.”Charlie replied, “I am interested to venture into the ocean shipping industry. It so happens that the Ito family from Japan would be able to provide me with a lot of help and resources. Besides that, I also have a lot of funds in my own hands. So, I want to find an opportunity to start working on this ocean shipping business.”“However, the current problem that I am facing right now is that I cannot find a suitable person to help me to take charge of this project. So, I want to ask you if you have any good ideas, or if you will be able to temporarily help me to build up this ocean shipping business?”“If you can do so, I will not be stingy with your salary, and I will certai

    Charlie truly did not expect that Yolden, whom he had just met yesterday, would actually be such a great and brilliant man in the field of economics and management.Just as he felt as though he had successfully encountered and found Yolden without putting in any effort at all, he could not help but feel sorry for his father-in-law at the same time.He naturally knew that his father-in-law’s feelings toward Aunt Hall came from the bottom of his heart.However, in the final analysis, his father-in-law had always been a coward in front of Elaine. Even though his father-in-law had been constantly thinking about renewing his relationship with Matilda, at the same time, he did not dare to divorce Elaine. If he were to carry on acting this way, his father-in-law and Matilda would never be able to have a happy future together.But Yolden was different.This man was not only highly educated and capable, but he also had an extraordinary appearance and temperament. Even his living habits wer

    Mason was extremely angry, and he yelled out loud, “Hey! You b*stard! You’d better stop right there!”Carvalho smiled slightly before he patted Mason on his shoulder as he said earnestly, “We might have prevented a disaster because of this financial loss. So, there is no need for you to be so angry.”Mason was very discontented, and he said, “Grandpa, that guy is simply too wicked! I paid him two thousand dollars, and he only sent us here before running off! It is just a short stretch of road. If we were to have taken any other normal taxis, it would definitely have cost less than fifty dollars. If we allow him to simply run away just like this, we do not know how many other people he is going to cheat in the future! No! I have to make a police report!”Carvalho nodded before he said. “That guy is indeed too much, but you don’t need to take it to heart and hold it against him. You have to always remember that time is the most important thing in a person’s life. The more successful a

    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

    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
