Liam immediately said respectfully, “I understand, Master Wade! Don’t worry! I’ll arrange for a trial production when I go back later. I will call you as soon as it’s finished! I will also personally take the Apothecary Restoration Pill to the United States after the production is done!”After saying that, Liam looked at the time and said impatiently, “Master Wade, if you do not have any other instructions for me, I will go back to the factory first and make the arrangements for the work to be done now!” “Okay.” Charlie nodded in satisfaction and said, “You should hurry up and get busy, then. I will not keep you here any further.”“Okay, Master Wade. I’ll take my leave first!”Liam put the prescriptions away carefully and then hurriedly bid farewell before leaving.After Liam had left, Isaac then said to Charlie, “Young Master, during this period of time, Liam’s progress has been visible to the naked eye. His work is not only logical and organized, but he also appears to be much
At this moment, the viewers all over the world were sitting in front of the screen, and they were anticipating Helena’s appearance. More than thirty years had passed since the coronation of a new queen in this world, so everyone was full of curiosity about Helena, the new queen who was about to be crowned and enthroned at this moment. Albert and Isaac could not help but open the live streaming video website at this time as well. The both of them had also met Helena personally up on Mount Wintry, and they also knew that before this, Helena was just a puppet who had no one whom she could rely on in the royal family and that she was being used by the royal family as a tool for marriage. However, only a few days had passed and now, Helena was already going to succeed the throne as the new queen. This was simply an earth-shattering change.Moreover, Albert and Isaac also knew very well that the reason why Helena was able to reverse and turn her life around completely to ascend to the
At this moment, Helena stopped and stood at the entrance of the palace as she waved at the people of Northern Europe who were in a frenzy at a distance far away.The camera of the live broadcast then quickly zoomed in closer to give Helena a full-body close-up. Helena looked even more beautiful in the close-up shot. At this point, the host could not help but sigh and say, “I have to say that Helena Elliot is simply too beautiful. Everyone at the scene is shocked by her beauty and so, you can imagine how happy the people from Northern Europe are feeling at this moment!”At this moment, the camera suddenly noticed a brooch that Helena was wearing on the left side of her chest. The camera then quickly zoomed in and gave a close-up shot of the brooch. The host then said, “Viewers, what you can see now is the camera showing a close-up of the brooch that Helena Elliot is wearing. This should be a leaf made out of gold. It looks very refined and delicate, and there are two letters spell
At this time, the Western media and netizens were all discussing this matter loudly. Everyone was speculating about Helena’s intention in choosing to wear such a brooch on her chest on this incredibly important occasion today. If the letters C and W were truly the initials of a person’s name, who could that person be?In an instant, there were a lot of speculations on the internet, and even many Oskian netizens began to gossip.However, since everyone had the preconceived notion that if these two letters represented the abbreviation of a person's name, that person's name had to be an English name, Thus, they simply couldn't guess the correct answer.After all, aside from those people who appeared on Mount Wintry on the day of the Tomb Sweeping Festival, no one would have thought that those two letters would actually represent the initials of an Oskian person's name.And at this time, the live broadcast was still ongoing.Helena had already boarded the historic royal carriage w
As soon as they entered, Jasmine invited Charlie to sit on the sofa. She could not help but start to tease Charlie as she smiled and said, “Master Wade, did you watch the live broadcast of Helena’s coronation ceremony?”Charlie casually said, “I watched it.”Jasmine smiled brightly as she looked at Charlie and asked, “Master Wade, Helena must be using the live broadcast to profess her love for you on air through that brooch, right?”Charlie was helpless, and he questioned her in return, “Jasmine, when did you become someone who enjoys gossiping? It’s not like you at all.”Jasmine smiled slightly and said seriously, “I’m not someone who enjoys gossiping. It’s just that when I saw the brooch on Helena’s chest during the live broadcast, Nanako had already called me to tell me that the both of us have gotten another love rival this time.”Charlie asked her, “Did you tell Nanako that I was coming to your company?”“Of course.” Jasmine smiled and said, “It was Nanako who asked me to as
Charlie’s words caused Jasmine to instantly feel a surging excitement in her heart.She had always wanted to make their family’s business of collectibles trading and auction bigger and stronger, but she had never been able to find a suitable breakthrough point. It was also precisely because she attached great importance to this business that she had immediately befriended Charlie after seeing with her own eyes that he could use the lost cultural relic restoration technics to restore her family's antiques.She had originally hoped to recruit Charlie to Vintage Deluxe to work for the Moore family, but how could she have expected that Charlie, who was just a superfluous son-in-law at first, was actually the young master of the Wade family in Eastcliff, or that his own strength would be extremely powerful?Therefore, Jasmine’s wish to revitalize Vintage Deluxe through Charlie had long since fizzled out.Since then, Vintage Deluxe had not been able to find a better development opportu
Jasmine, who had been struggling to find a good opportunity, was suddenly supported because of Charlie and his Rejuvenating Pills. This made Jasmine feel deeply grateful toward Charlie in her heart, and at the same time, she could not help but feel extremely excited.This was because Jasmine was well aware of the value of the Rejuvenating Pill. Perhaps there were no other collectibles in this world that could be compared to the top-level divine medicine like the Rejuvenating Pill.Therefore, she could almost already foresee that the auction of the Rejuvenating Pill would definitely set a historical record.This was naturally a good opportunity for Vintage Deluxe to make a name for itself.It was equivalent to a third-tier starlet finally having the opportunity to perform on the same stage with the top stars in this world. It was definitely a great opportunity to rise to the top!Therefore, she was very excited and said to Charlie, “Master Wade, don’t worry. I will do my best to ma
Charlie did not expect that his mention of Vintage Deluxe would cause Jasmine to choke and hold back her tears.When he saw this, he thought that Jasmine was overwhelmed by the several ups and downs and tribulations in the past, so he hurriedly spoke up to comfort her, “The bad things are already in the past. You are the head of the Moore family now and so, you should be strong and look forward.”Jasmine nodded hastily and wiped her tears as she smiled and said, “Sorry, Master Wade. I’m embarrassing myself in front of you...”Charlie smiled heartily and said, “I don’t mind, but Mr. Cameron will be coming up soon. I don’t know what he will think if he sees you like this.”As he spoke, Charlie was surprised, and he muttered, “By the way, why is that guy taking so long to park a car?”Meanwhile, downstairs of Moore Group.Isaac took a puff of his cigarette. When he saw that the cigarette had burnt to the butt, he raised his hand, looked at his watch, and muttered in a low voice, “It
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
