Anthony was extremely dumbfounded upon hearing Xyla’s remark! He asked, “What? Are you saying that Kenneth offended Master Wade?!”“Yes!” Xyla nodded profusely. “Moreover, I heard that it was quite an intense fight. He even flirted with Master Wade’s wife, saying that he would give her 10 million dollars just to spend a night with her!”Anthony’s face turned into a grimacing shade of red. He didn’t expect that Kenneth had offended Master Wade to such an extent! Who did Kenneth think he was anyway!His mind ran wild with angry remarks. ‘Master Wade has helped me with the generosity and kindness that I can never repay. What about you, Kenneth? Yes, your father helped me back in the days, but I have already repaid my debt to the Wilson family for being your family doctor for several decades! Besides, your father has already passed on. I no longer have any obligation toward your family. I can still lend a hand to help you by all means if you had simply injured yourself, but you picked
“Master? True dragon?” Kenneth blurted out in a shocked tone. “Uncle Simmons, is something wrong with your brain? How could you be deceived by that crook? He is not a master or a true dragon, he is just a useless live-in son-in-law... a moocher! The Wilson family that he is married to, they treat me like a king! They even gifted Wendy Wilson to me as my escort and companion. He is just a lowly ant compared to me!”Then, he continued in an indignant voice, “Uncle Simmons, do you honestly think that deadbeat loser is worth it for you to protect him with all costs and even cut ties with our family? Are you going to ignore the years of friendship between our families?”“B*stard!” Anthony’s face twisted into a resentful grimace. He picked up the medicine pestle on the table and slammed it into Kenneth’s head fiercely while cursing, “You and your blasphemous mouth! Get out of here right now!”Kenneth couldn’t manage to avoid him, and the pestle knocked his forehead with a great force, cau
Indeed, Kenneth wanted to kill Charlie right there and then.However, he realized that it was not wise to act impulsively—the mighty dragon was no match for the native serpent.He knew clearly that he was no match to Charlie right now.It seemed that Charlie was quite powerful and strong, meaning that he had to be skilled in martial arts and self-defense. It was very hard to go after a man who was knowledgeable and tenacious. He had to get someone who was on par or more powerful than Charlie to go against him, otherwise, it would all go down the drain!Still, the most important thing right now was to fix his impotence. He would be in living hell otherwise!Kenneth’s wrath toward Anthony started burning again upon this thought!The f*cking old coot! Clearly, he had a pill that could cure him, but he didn’t want to give it to him!In fact, he had even kicked him out of his clinic for that loser, Charlie! D*mn!Meanwhile, Christopher was worrying about Kenneth’s situation. If he
Serene World Clinic.Anthony was still huffing and puffing in annoyance.Two people had come to his clinic tonight asking for treatment, and they both had offended Master Wade!Jason Grant, the guy who had tried to show off before Master Wade at the hospital the other day that led him to an unfortunate ending—Don Albert threw him out of the window on the third floor and broke his leg. He even had the guts to come here to seek treatment!And then, there was Kenneth Wilson!The most hateful and shameless b*stard!He had nearly given that b*stard the magical elixir before learning about his beef with Master Wade!If he had really cured Kenneth, he would be biting the hand that fed him, wouldn’t he?!He turned to Xyla and sighed, “Oh my goodness, Xyla, luckily you got here in time, otherwise, I might have already given Kenneth the magical pill!”Xyla shuddered at the thought. “Grandpa, I heard that Master Wade was the reason why Kenneth is impotent!”“Oh, I see!” Anthony mesmeriz
Barbara gaped in utter shock and asked frantically, “What?! Anthony, what are you talking about? We’ve been friends for so many years, how could you cut ties with us just like that?”Anthony’s serious voice sounded, “Barbara, I am very grateful for Brother Wilson’s help. When I needed it the most, he was a friend indeed, and I’ve repaid the favors to your family for so many years without asking for anything in return. Gratitude and consideration are my principles, you know that, right?”“Of course!” Barbara answered. “But I don’t understand, why do you want to make a clean break with us all of a sudden? If it’s my mistake, tell me, I’ll correct it!”“No, Barbara, it’s not your fault. Actually, it’s your son, Kenneth.”“Kenneth?” Barbara said in surprise, “What about him? Did he offend you? But he’s in Aurous Hill right now!”“Yes. I’m in Aurous Hill too,” Anthony said earnestly, “And I saw Kenneth. To be honest, he didn’t do anything to me, but he offended my savior. The man is ve
Wendy no longer got any pocket money from Kenneth, nor did he mention anything about the rest of the investment anymore.From the looks of it, it seemed that she would get more monetary benefits from him only if she helped him regain his manhood quickly.Otherwise, Kenneth would unquestionably abandon her and the entire family.So far, the 10 million dollars that Kenneth provided was only enough to stabilize the current chaos in the Wilson Group. It was far from enough to bring the company back to its peak.Christopher stood beside Kenneth and said, “One pill at a time will do, it has a very powerful effect.”Kenneth nodded, then, he took out three pills and swallowed them.He grabbed Wendy’s hand and urged her, “Wendy, let’s go upstairs now.” He hoped that this medicine would work wonders.Wendy quickly nodded. She wrapped her arms around Kenneth’s and said coyly, “Dear, let’s go back to our room and try again.”Kenneth pulled Wendy back into the room. Then, they started the f
Kenneth shivered in shock from his mother’s ferocious remark.Just because he had caused a scene with Charlie, not only did Anthony not want to help him, but he wanted to cut ties with his whole family too?What kind of drug had Charlie fed him that he was so mesmerized and bewitched by him?!Agitated and enraged, Kenneth suppressed his emotions and said, “Mom, that old coot is unreliable! He’s a crook!”Barbara shouted angrily, “I don’t care what you do, but you’d better bring Anthony to Eastcliff on my 84th birthday to check on me and treat my old illnesses. If you don’t, just wait and see!”People were more selfish as they got older.The older they were, the more afraid they were of death, wishing to live for as long as they could. Barbara didn’t want to know about the feud between Kenneth and Anthony. All she hoped for was for Anthony to remain as her personal doctor.With Anthony around, she could probably live until over ninety years old for sure, but without him, she migh
Jason opened the barrel cap and said, “Dad, I think it’s better to pour the gasoline in through the rolling shutter so that the gasoline is fully spread inside. Then, when we light the fire from outside, the fire will spread around so rapidly that even the cockroaches won’t be spared!”Justin nodded and snorted, “Good! Let’s burn them to ashes, these sons of b*tches!”Although Justin was not among the successful pioneers in Aurous Hill, he was the city’s number one when it came to spoiling his son rotten.Their families had only ever had a single male heir for several generations. After giving birth to several daughters, Justin had finally gotten a son, Jason, so he had been pampered and spoiled in every way possible since young.When Jason had been in elementary school, his teacher had punished him by caning his palm once because he was the troublemaker in class, disrupting the classroom’s order. Justin had then brought some guys to school and had broken the teacher’s right arm, l
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
