Early the next morning, Claire woke up early and put on some makeup.After putting on her makeup, Charlie felt a little excited because she looked extremely beautiful.However, he asked Claire out of curiosity, “Dear wife, you usually go to work without putting on any makeup. Why are you putting on makeup today? Are you meeting anyone important?”On any other normal day, Claire would always leave the house with a bare face because she already had a pleasant and beautiful appearance. She had a pink and rosy complexion, and she rarely needed to put on any makeup at all.Claire replied earnestly, “Today is the decoration industry summit in Aurous Hill. Why don’t you come with me? It is rare for the organizer to invite me to attend the summit even though I just started my company. This is a good opportunity for me to emerge and make a name for myself in the industry. Therefore, I must make sure that I strive to gain a foothold in the industry so that I will be able to perform well in t
It turned out that the man that Wendy was embracing was none other than the chairman of a public-listed company in Eastcliff!Not only that, but the other party’s last name was also Wilson? Was he their relative?Charlie could not help but ask Claire, “Dear, do you know of the relationship between the Wilson family and this person named Kenneth Wilson? Is he a distant relative?”“I don’t know…” Claire replied. “I have never heard of him before…”“That’s strange…” Charlie murmured. “Normally, the chairman of a public-listed company with a market value of tens of billions of dollars would not mix with someone on the low-end such as the Wilson family, let alone someone such as Wendy. Do you think that they are having an inappropriate relationship?”Claire hurriedly replied, “Don’t talk nonsense! That man looks older than my uncle! How could they possibly be committing adultery?”At this time, Wendy was very happy and excited as she was surrounded by a crowd of people. She was finall
Wendy was very excited when she thought about how she would finally have an opportunity to take revenge on Claire and Charlie. She held Kenneth’s arm excitedly as she led him toward the both of them.As soon as they approached the couple, Wendy said arrogantly, “Oh, look who’s here! It turns out to be the woman who was evicted from the Wilson family and the son-in-law of the Wilson family who is nothing but a piece of trash! Are both of you even qualified to participate in this summit?”Upon saying that, Wendy looked Claire up and down before she snorted arrogantly, “Claire, you have just opened your studio and you don’t even have a single employee under you now! Do you really think your company has the right to participate in an industry summit like this? I think Emgrand Group must be blind to invite you to participate in the summit today!”When Charlie saw that Wendy had already approached them, he simply asked in a cold voice, “Wendy, you were just kneeling before us as you begge
Kenneth looked Charlie up and down before he sneered and said, “You are that useless son-in-law of the Wilson family?”Charlie replied lightly, “Yes, I am. How can I help you?”Kenneth replied coldly, “I heard that you insulted and humiliated Wendy a lot in the past. I am going to slowly make you pay for what you did to Wendy!”Charlie nodded before he said disdainfully, “Well, we do not have all day. If you want, you’d better avenge her right now, then.”Kenneth initially thought that he would be able to make Charlie kneel and beg for mercy if he just revealed his identity and said a few ruthless words to him. However, he did not expect that a piece of trash like him would actually have the audacity to speak to him in such a disrespectful manner! Kenneth grit his teeth before he said, “Young man, you seem to be very haughty and arrogant. Do you know who I am?”Charlie smirked before he said, “You are nothing but a piece of trash to me. I don’t care about your identity at all.”K
When Kenneth saw that Charlie was stepping on his crotch, he was so frightened that he turned pale immediately.Even though he believed that Charlie was just a piece of trash that he could get rid of with a snap of his fingers, he knew that he would definitely lose his manhood if Charlie stepped on his crotch again!Even if he could get rid of Charlie in the future, how would that benefit him? He would have already lost his manhood by then!As a man, especially as a wealthy and powerful man like him, there would always be plenty of women around him. No matter what it was, he could not afford to lose his manhood! How was that different than Charlie taking his life?Therefore, he hurriedly begged for mercy, “Brother Wade! Brother Wade! If there is anything, we can just amicably discuss this!”Charlie smiled before he said, “Why? Are you afraid?”There was cold sweat all over Kenneth’s face, and he nodded repeatedly before he said, “I was wrong! I know that I was wrong! Please forgi
Kenneth did not understand what Charlie was saying, and he subconsciously asked, “You… what do you mean?”Charlie smiled before he said, “It’s okay. I will not step on your crotch, but I will abolish your manhood!”After that, Charlie used his toes to hit Kenneth’s abdomen, and some spiritual energy flowed out of his toes at this time.Ever since he had studied the , Charlie had already grasped and learned how to control his qi. This trace of qi that he had just released could cut off Kenneth's nerves, making it completely impossible for him to use his manhood.However, Kenneth did not know what Charlie was doing when he gently tapped his lower abdomen with his toes.He also did not notice that he had already lost his manhood at this time. In the future, he would only be able to look at his man part, but he would never be able to use it again.Now, Kenneth was indeed very furious and terrified, and he was just eager to flee out of this place so that he could bri
Just as Claire felt that there was a tremendous change in Charlie, Kenneth, who had just escaped from the hall, returned with four bodyguards by his side!These four bodyguards were the four most capable bodyguards working for him, and each of them had extraordinary strength and fighting skills.In his opinion, it would be easy for these four bodyguards of his to kill Charlie!However, he did not want to kill Charlie in front of the crowd of people.He wanted to force Charlie into submission and call him his ‘grandfather’ in front of everyone here today! After gaining back his own face, he would then destroy Charlie’s manhood!After that, he would look for another opportunity to get rid of Charlie in the future!Everything that he was going to do today was just to relieve all of his pent up anger. Kenneth knew that the only way he would be able to relieve all the hatred that he was feeling inside was by killing Charlie!After all, he had already lived for more than fifty years,
The bodyguards had a horrified look in their eyes as they stared at Charlie!Why was this young man so scary?! The three of them were attacking him at one go, and yet, they were actually defeated by just one young man? They had lost their combat effectiveness just like that?! This… this young man was simply a God!Charlie walked toward the three bodyguards before he stared at them with a cold expression on his face. “Since you enjoy being a dog for others, I will make sure that you can only crawl on the ground in the future!”After that, Charlie stepped on one of the bodyguard’s right leg!Snap!The man’s right kneecap was crushed immediately.After that, he raised his foot again and subsequently crushed the opponent’s left kneecap.When the other two bodyguards saw this, they were all trembling in shock!After that, the two bodyguards began crying and begging Charlie for mercy.Charlie replied coldly, “You are all hooligans who are crueler than anyone else when it comes to hu
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
