Wendy was never a sweet nor foolish girl. Although she had not done much business before, it could be said that she had also experienced the sadness in this world over the past one to two years. So, she was very clear about the basic rule of survival in society now, and that was to do her best to fight for her own interests.Moreover, Wendy was not alone now, and she had hundreds of young girls who were looking up to her and following her to make ends meet. So, Wendy naturally wanted to fight for more benefits on everyone’s behalf. When Maya heard that Wendy wanted one million dollars, she subconsciously looked at Tom, who was aside, immediately.She was just Tom’s personal assistant. So, whether this sum of money should be spent or not was completely dependent on Tom’s intention.The expression on Tom’s face was extremely ugly at this time.He ground his teeth and said, “This Wendy Wilson really has a big appetite! She actually dares to ask me for one million dollars for such a
Fortunately, everything had finally been resolved now.Although it had cost Tom a lot more money, this was all Daxton’s fault, and it had nothing to do with her at all.So, Maya hurriedly confirmed the collaboration with Wendy, and she asked Wendy for the company’s bank account number. After that, she immediately arranged for the finance department to handle the payment.By the time Tom had just boarded the private jet and was waiting for the takeoff, the finance department had already finished handling the process of transferring the money. After Tom finished approving the payment on his cell phone, Wendy immediately received feedback from her finance department stating that they had just received a transfer of one million dollars from Tom Zielinski’s agency studio.Wendy was extremely happy. In her opinion, this single business deal would simply be able to improve everyone’s lives. So, she immediately sent a voice message to the company’s WhatsApp group with more than a thousand
Wendy’s action was very dexterous. She confirmed the chosen three hundred employees after ten minutes through further confirmation and screening of the personnel attendance list.After that, she decided on some details with Maya, including the slogans that everyone should be shouting, the banners, and also their overall actions at that time.Tom himself was initially very dissatisfied with Wendy, but after seeing that she was very efficient and professional at her job, his mood eased a little.The plane took off, and as Tom was flying toward Aurous Hill, Wendy had already started deploying her employees. Three hundred hostesses were all preparing to leave for the airport from all over Aurous Hill.When Wendy was done arranging the work, she felt very happy, almost as though she had just won a battle in her heart.She recalled that when her brother-in-law, Charlie, had handed Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation over to her, this company was still not of much value. However, We
Charlie casually said, “I’m not busy with anything. I’m just meeting a friend outside. Why?”Wendy hurriedly said, “Oh, I see… Actually… In truth, there is no reason as to why I’m calling you. I simply wanted to give you a report about the recent situation of Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation.”Charlie smiled as he asked her, “So, is the company doing fine now?”Wendy hurriedly replied, “Brother-in-law, the company has been doing pretty well lately! This is all thanks to Don Albert and the others for their care and help. There is more business, the company’s income is also higher, and the number of employees is increasing steadily.”Charlie smiled and said, “That’s not bad. I hope that you’ll continue putting in more efforts and work harder so that you can bring the company to the next level.”Wendy assured him, “Don’t worry, Brother-in-law. I’ll definitely do my best to make Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation even bigger and stronger. I’ll turn it into the biggest etique
Although Charlie had never met Tom before, he did not have a good impression of him at all because of Daxton and the matter relating to the presidential suite. What’s more, this guy was even thinking of pursuing Quinn, and this made him feel even more unhappy.As he thought about the harsh words that Tom had said to Isaac over the phone earlier, Charlie planned to do his best to act as a host to Tom. He would make sure that Tom would be able to feel the warmth of the people of Aurous Hill as soon as he got off the plane.Weren’t you hiring females to act as your fans to pick you up when you land? In that case, I will arrange a little surprise for you, then.At this time, Wendy, who was on the other end of the line, asked curiously, “Brother-in-law, do you know Tom Zielinski?”Charlie said, “I do not know him, but I think I will get to know him very soon.”After he was done speaking, Charlie then said, “By the way, Wendy, there are still some things that I have to deal with here.
Albert asked, “Master Wade, how many people do you need? What are the requirements?”Charlie replied, “Well, I want all of them to be males, and I want them to be those kinds of people who regularly go for fitness training. They should be muscular, and it would be even better if they had scars on their faces and necks. As for the number of people, there should be a minimum of two to three hundred people. The more the better.”Albert had a surprised look on his face as he asked, “Master Wade, are you planning to bring these men with you to fight others?”“No,” Charlie waved his hand and said, “I want them to go to the airport for a plane pickup.”“Plane pickup?!” Albert was confused, and he did not know what Charlie was up to this time. However, Isaac, who was aside, immediately understood Charlie’s intention, and he could not help but smile as he said, “Young Master, are you planning to send the thugs that you’ve helped to go to the airport to act as fans for Tom Zielinski’s plan
Tom had been in a very bad mood all the way.However, after seeing the situation where there were hundreds of hostesses on Wendy’s end through the video call just now, his mood instantly got a lot better.To be honest, he had often bought fans for his plane pickup in the past, but he had never once been able to buy so many high-quality fans. In the past, he would always work together with a headhunter for this kind of matter. The resources that the headhunter had in his hands were all actresses, and there would be all kinds of women, but very few of them would be good-looking and have good figures.But this time, it was different. This time, all of the women who were here were more than one hundred and sixty-eight centimeters tall, and they were all slim and beautiful girls with good temperaments. It would not be that noticeable if there were one or two of these girls, but if two to three hundred of such girls were to be placed together, the visual effect would simply be absolutel
However, Tom was a little surprised upon entering. He looked at the passageway that was almost empty as he said in confusion, “Why are there so few people at this airport of yours? I see that there are no other passengers aside from the few of us?”The customer service manager scratched his head and smiled as he said, “This… Perhaps this has something to do with traffic control today. We do not have many Hong Kong planes arriving, and many of the flights have been delayed or canceled.”Tom felt that something was not right. Generally speaking, although the airports in a second-tier city were not so busy, they would not be so empty to the extent that there was no one here at all, right?Just as he was feeling perplexed, the customer service manager pointed at a frosted glass door and said, “Mr. Zielinski, the exit is right in front. There are many of your fans waiting outside. If you find it inconvenient, I can ask the security guards to escort you out so that you can leave quickly.
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
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
