“Zielinski Group?”When Charlie heard these words, he could not help but say mockingly, “I’ve heard of the Wade family, the Schulz family, and the Golding family, but I have never heard of Zielinski Group.”The other party immediately clamored, “I think that there must be something wrong with your brain if you have never heard of Zielinski Group before! Zielinski Group is the largest building materials group in Oskia with hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth in assets. Moreover, our young master, Tom Zielinski’s popularity in the country is not any lower as compared to Quinn Golding. He is currently the hottest male singer in the country!”Charlie nodded as he deliberately said in a complimentary tone, “Oh, that’s amazing! In that case, your young master is the male version of Quinn Golding?”The other party raised his brows before he blurted out, “Of course! Quinn Golding is a top-class female singer, and our young master is a top-class male singer. Miss Golding has a very stron
Isaac snorted coldly. “You want to sue this hotel too? Do you know who owns this hotel?”“I don’t give a d*mn about the owner of this hotel.” Daxton curled his lips as he said disdainfully, “Isn’t it just a five-star hotel anyway? Our young master’s family has dozens of these kinds of hotels! Moreover, they are all located in first-tier cities. They cannot even be bothered to come and develop any hotels in this kind of second-tier city!”Isaac was exasperated because of this young man, and he spoke up, “Go. Go and call your young master and tell him that I, Isaac Cameron, personally said that he had undergone cosmetic surgery. If he is not convinced, tell him that I’ll be waiting here for him to sue me. Tell me what your young master is going to say about it.”Daxton was extremely angry, “Are you trying to fool me? Just wait. I’m going to call our young master now!”After he was done speaking, Daxton immediately took out his cell phone as he walked to the side to make a phone call.
As soon as Daxton heard his young master speaking with such confidence, he immediately straightened up his back.He hurriedly walked back as he raised his cell phone up high and said to Isaac, “Our young master wants to ask you something personally!”Isaac frowned in disgust as he said coldly, “Just speak up if you have something to say!”“F*ck!” A young man’s angry voice sounded from the other end of the line, “Who the hell are you?! Do you really not know what is good for yourself? Do you know who I am?!”Isaac sneered and said, “I know. Aren’t you just a singer? I heard that your family spent a lot of money to try and promote you for several years, but you still could not make it to fame. After that, you finally went abroad and changed your face before you finally became famous. Am I right?”“F*ck!” Tom, who was on the other end of the line, was so angry that he could only clench his teeth. “You’re really seeking your death! If you have the guts, why don’t you tell me your name
The captain of the security team immediately said, “Okay, Chairman Cameron!”After he was done speaking, he immediately took out his walkie-talkie and ordered, “All members of the first team, come to the presidential suite now!”When Daxton saw that Isaac was indeed serious, he immediately lowered his stance, and he spoke up as he began pleading, “Chairman Cameron, please do not lower yourself and argue with the likes of me. I’m also just serving my young master, and my young master said that he wanted this presidential suite. So, as his subordinate, that is the reason why I rushed over here to get it done for him. I was too anxious and impatient just now, and that is the reason why there was a disagreement between us. I’m really sorry. Please be the bigger person and be magnanimous…”Isaac sneered and said, “You’re begging for mercy now? It’s too late!”At this time, a dozen security guards quickly ran over.When Daxton and the others saw this scene, they were all so frightened t
There was a mountain range that went on for nearly one hundred kilometers behind the Mount Phoenix Cemetery. Although the urbanization process had been getting faster and faster over the recent years, this kind of deep mountain forest had never been developed much.Moreover, aside from a bunch of bored and foolish travelers, not many people would usually go to that kind of place.It would really not be easy to walk out of the deep mountains on foot. It was said that every now and then, there would be travelers who would be trapped there and could only rely on the rescue team to carry them out one by one. Over time, even the travelers did not dare to go there anymore.It was precisely because it would not be easy to get out that Charlie intended to throw Daxton and the others there.Anyway, Aurous Hill was located in the central plains, and there would not be any man-eating beasts even deep in the forest. They would not die inside even if they did not have any survival abilities.
Charlie then instructed again, “Oh, by the way, since you’ve already said that you’re going to give them a violent beating, you have to wait until they have already signed the contract and taken the video. Do you understand?”“Understood!”Immediately afterward, Daxton and the others were all crying and shouting out loud as they were brought to the rooftop under the security guards’ escort. Very quickly, Shangri-La hotel launched a special survival in the wilderness experience program, and Daxton and the others voluntarily signed the fair and impartial tourism service contract under the careful and watchful eyes of the security guards. They became the first batch of lucky customers who could experience this program for free.As soon as the contract was signed, these people were thrown into the helicopter directly after the security guards beat them up.The back kitchen in the dining department also sent over a bunch of food that was going to be rid of as they were about to expire
Tom, who was also known as the ‘top-class young male singer’, did not even bother to eat lunch as he hurriedly brought several assistants and bodyguards with him to the airport. He wanted to fly to Aurous Hill as soon as possible, and he could not delay it any longer.What was even more uncomfortable was that he basically had no one available for his use anymore in Aurous Hill now.This was because the few people that he had arranged to set out in advance to make all the arrangements could not be contacted at all without exception.So, even if he had to go to Aurous Hill in advance, he did not have anyone who could pick him up after he arrived in Aurous Hill.Although the Zielinski family’s business was quite big, their businesses were almost fully concentrated in North Oskia. They had no involvement in Aurous Hill at all, and they did not have any branches or offices here. So, after he arrived in Aurous Hill, Tom would be just like any other foreign tourists who had come to Auro
Tom would pay at least a few hundred fake fans to meet him at the airport whenever he went out of town. He also had to pay a group of so-called ‘obsessive fans’ to follow him around like crazy. Moreover, his favorite trick was to send out a post to condemn these seemingly crazy fans before spending more money to promote his own post on the internet so that he could harvest a hot search, possibly with the title: ‘Tom Zielinski had been bothered by obsessive fans at a certain place, and he had written a post to condemn them.’He would also make use of this kind of hot search to lure in netizens who were simply passing by before he used a whole bunch of his pictures that had already been retouched as well as songs that had already been auto-tuned to combine with his various talents and hardworking and rich heir personality to turn these passers-by into his fans.This kind of gameplay had already long become a standard operating procedure in the entertainment industry.If any celebrity
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
