Chapter 305

Author: Lord Leaf
Travis Lane’s remarks sent a shock wave across the office and the Wilson family members blinked in astonishment.

Did he actually come to congratulate Claire?!

He was the richest man in Lancaster!

When and how did Charlie and Claire strike up the relationship with him?!

Christopher was utterly shocked. He had never expected the man to be so rude to him and snap at him right in front of everyone. Embarrassed, he quickly retreated and stood aside.

Wendy frowned in confusion and whispered to Harold, “Hey, is this chubby man really the richest man in Lancaster? Why does he feel like an actor hired to impersonate as a ploy to fool us? Why would any prominent figure be so kind and respectful to a loser…”

Harold shook his head and whispered back, “Yeah, I don’t think he’s real too…”

None of the people present had ever seen Travis Lane before, but they had heard the rumors about his notoriety and strictness in managing his business. The man looked nothing like the version in the rumors a

    The entire building started to get very lively and chaotic out of sudden. A simple opening ceremony had created such an extravagant scene that even involved a helicopter!Everyone poked their heads to look at the few people standing in front of the office.Claire was in a daze. She had indeed invited some people, but they were not very close to her and she didn’t know anyone who could afford a helicopter.Someone in the crowd exclaimed, “Isn’t that flower basket the legendary Tiffany limited edition? I heard that one flower basket costs more than one million dollars!”“Wow, look at all those flowers! I don’t think I’ve ever seen them before, they’re so beautiful!”“These are Dutch tulips! The exclusive Dutch tulips are very expensive, a single bulb can cost anywhere from thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars! And there’s even Blue Enchantress Hydrangeas and Juliet roses…wow, these are all rare flowers! You can’t cultivate them here in our country, they can only be airlift

    A passage appeared immediately as the crowd of onlookers made way and stood to the side as if there were invisible barriers.Doris and Jasmine, two charming belles who donned very formal and elegant dresses with smiles on their faces, walking side by side from outside towards the door.Behind them were Zeke White along with Kevin and Gerald, Graham Quinton along with Aurora and Adam, and Anthony Simmons and his granddaughter Xyla. They walked in a group like a team of Avengers.Albert Rhodes walked behind the pack.Wendy’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief as she stared at the scene.These people were all prominent figures in Aurous Hill that rarely appeared in public places, but they gathered here to congratulate Claire, which made her envious and agitated!She was always on her high horse previously with her background as the daughter of a wealthy family and one of the most outstanding young people in the city. She was pretty and attractive, tall and slim, and she was regarde

    Sure enough, they were here because of Charlie…Upon hearing that, Claire took a peek at Charlie, who was greeting the other guests, and somehow, a tinge of jealousy slowly arose inside her…She did not expect that the distinguished daughter of the Moore family would respect her husband so much. He was full of mystery right now.Then, Doris approached them, shook hands with Claire, and said, “Congratulations, Mrs. Wade. Emgrand Group has several projects that are awaiting your discussion!”“Seriously?!” Claire exclaimed in shock.Previously, the sixty million dollar contract with Emgrand Group was enough to make the whole Wilson family excited and thrilled. She would be on cloud nine if she could get a six million dollar contract from them!Doris smiled and answered, “Of course, Mrs. Wade. We now have a total of nearly three hundred million dollars in interior design and renovation projects. We’ll have the contract ready right away if you can accept and manage it!”The Wilson fa

    Wendy was feeling so sad and hurt right then.She had invested all her hopes and dreams of a beautiful and happy life on Gerald alone, but he pushed her into the abyss of misery with his own hands!Not only did he dump her after messing up her feelings but he even showed such strong dislike and disgust towards her in front of so many people! It was totally unacceptable! Her wrath of fury nearly exploded right there and then!Gerald was unusually calm and emotionless at her wailing and accusation. He said coldly, “It’s normal to fall in love and break up, what has it to do with respect? Please stop pestering me.”Charlie walked towards them as he assumed Wendy was about to cause a scene.Blood drained from Gerald’s face as Charlie came at them and quickly explained, for fear that Charlie would dismiss him for this situation. “Master Wade, please calm down. It was this shameless b*tch who jumped at me and threw a tantrum…”Wendy glared at the exchange in shock. Gerald, who was qu

    Gerald was fully aware that he had nearly offended Master Wade because he was deceived and brainwashed by these fools. Fortunately, Master Wade was the bigger person and forgave his wrongdoings. Otherwise, he would have brought disastrous harm to his entire White family.Now, this shameless Wendy had the nerve to attempt reconciling with him?!It was like pushing him back into the fire pit!He shoved Wendy away and kicked her in the stomach as she fell to the floor and growled, “Wendy Wilson! From now on, get the hell away from me! If you come at me again, I swear to God I’m going to kill you!”Wendy sat on the floor in a trance as if she had been struck by lightning.Looking back at Gerald’s face in a furious grimace, she found it so strange and unfamiliar. He didn’t look like the man who was once in love with her at all.Although Claire was a little agitated by Wendy, they were cousins, after all. She couldn’t bear seeing her being insulted like this, so she said to Gerald, “Mr

    Christopher was trembling in fright as Albert growled at him.He had no doubt about Albert’s remarks. As someone who was regarded as the king of the underworld and had ruled the underworld for many years, killing two people was a piece of cake for him.He looked desperately at the two brawny men who were dragging Wendy and went up to Claire to ask for help. “Claire, could you please talk to them? She’s your cousin, how could you just watch her being taken away?”Claire pursed her lips and said to the brawny men, “Please stop, she was confused…she didn’t mean to hurt me…”Claire found Wendy irritating, but they were cousins, after all. She couldn’t bear seeing her being beaten by these men.Albert looked back at Charlie and waited for his orders.Charlie smiled and said, “Why are you looking at me? Listen to what my wife says, then…”Albert ordered his men, “Since Mrs. Wade has stated her view, let them go!”Charlie nodded and turned his gaze at Lady Wilson. “See? I told you, yo

    Claire said nervously, “Oh, no, I can’t make you do that…”Charlie took her hand and said with a gentle smile, “Dear, since Miss Young would like to offer her help, just accept her kindness as a form of respect.”“Huh, it’s not that I don’t want to accept her offer, but that’s too much help…”Charlie took the check from Bobby and put it in Claire’s hand. “Since Miss Young said that it’s free, keep the money. Emgrand Group is a large company with a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars, they won’t mind your menial rent. Besides, you’ll have projects and collaborations with them in the future. Let’s not make everything so formal and rigid.”Claire was a little moved when she listened and pondered upon Charlie’s remarks.He was right. Emgrand Group was the largest company in Aurous Hill and the company alone was comparable in scale to the entire Moore family. If she made things complicated with Doris Young because of the hundred and eighty grand check, it might probably make D

    “What?!” Claire shrieked in panic. “How’s Dad? Where are you now?”Elaine’s trembling voice echoed with a mixture of shock and sobbing. “We’re at Silverwing Hospital. Your dad was unconscious after the accident, come here quick!”Never did Claire expect to receive such bad news when she was celebrating the grand opening with joy…She cried into the phone, “Okay, I’ll go there right now!”Charlie heard the conversation clearly and realized the seriousness of the matter. He turned to the guests and said, “I’m sorry guys, Claire and I have to leave immediately. Please make yourself comfortable here!”Under normal circumstances, it would be rude for the host to leave the guests aside, but since these people were Charlie’s fans, they didn’t mind it.Hence, Charlie drove his wife straight to the hospital.After he parked the car at the parking spot, they quickly went straight to the ICU. They pushed the ward door open and saw Jacob lying on the bed with his eyes closed tightly. He w

    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
