Chapter 367

Author: Lord Leaf
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

    Justin and Jason didn't know that Anthony only had half a magic pill, but Kenneth knew.He knew because he had nearly gotten it from Anthony in the afternoon.He didn’t dare to go up against Anthony himself, but if he passed the duty to the ignorant father and son duo, he could sit back and enjoy the fruits of their work with just a few simple tricks.For example, he could first imitate a few pills based on the real thing that he had seen today. Then, after they had kidnapped Anthony, he could search for the authentic pill on Anthony’s body and slip the fake pills together. Until then, not only could he cure his impotence, but he could also blame Anthony’s death on them!Justin, on the other hand, didn’t overthink it. In his opinion, the enemy of his enemy was his friend. Since they had the same enemy, they could be comrade-in-arms. The more the merrier. Besides, they could divide the risk evenly, so why not?As for the magic pill, he didn’t know how much Anthony had, but to him

    On the contrary, Elaine blamed herself for what had happened to Jason. She felt that he shouldn’t have received such a harsh treatment since he meant well in the first place.So, when she received Jason’s call, she was over the moon, but also a little guilty.Jason’s earnest voice sounded on the phone. “Auntie, I’m sorry for what happened at the hospital the other day. I was deceived and brought a fake doctor to treat Uncle. I’m very sorry and I haven’t gotten the chance to apologize to you…”“Oh!” Elaine said. “Hey, Jason, what are you talking about! I have always been very grateful for your kind intentions, and I’m sorry for what happened to you. I should be the one to apologize to you!”“No, Auntie, it’s my fault for not validating Dr. Lynch’s credentials first.”Then, he added, “So, I would like to invite you for lunch someday so that I can apologize to you personally if that’s okay with you.”Elaine was thrilled and overjoyed by the invitation!Frankly speaking, she didn’t

    Elaine spent the rest of the morning daydreaming repeatedly about the million-dollar present that Jason had prepared for her. What could it be? She didn’t even have the mood to play cards anymore and quickly rushed to the Divine Lounge to meet up with Jason when it was time.What would the gift be? Jewelry? Diamonds? Cash? A cheque? Or something else?For people like Elaine who were on the fiddle, Jason’s lucrative gift was such an alluring attraction. The other day, when she had used Claire’s cheque to pay for the hospital bill and exploited 160,000 dollars from it, she was so happy that she had grinned over her cleverness for days.Hence, the thought of getting a million-dollar gift from Jason immediately sent her to cloud nine!At 11.30 am, Elaine bid farewell to her friends, took a taxi, and went straight to the Divine Lounge.When she arrived at the restaurant, she stood by the door as agreed and waited for Jason to come.Soon, a brand new black Mercedes Benz slowly rolled

    There was nothing in her mind but money!For her, the most important element she looked for in a son-in-law was that they must be rich and willing to spend money on her. Otherwise, they were nothing but stinky sh*t in her eyes no matter how good they were.A man like Jason was the best candidate for a son-in-law because he was willing to spend money on his mother-in-law!He was already so generous and had given her a Mercedes Benz as a gift even before he was together with her daughter, what would happen if Claire married him? Would he give her a big mansion or a lavish yacht?She was extremely delighted, and her imagination ran wild!However, she still had to be polite superficially. Grabbing Jason’s arm, she said earnestly, “Jason, I’m touched by your generosity, but the car is very expensive. Would it truly be okay if I accepted it just like that?”“Why wouldn’t it be?” Jason answered. “Auntie, it’s my token of appreciation, just take it!”Elaine grinned like a dog with two t

    At this time, Claire, Charlie, and Jacob had just finished having lunch at home.As Charlie was heading to the kitchen to clean up the dishes as usual, he suddenly received a phone call from Xyla.As soon as he answered the call, Xyla replied in shame as she said, “Mr. Wade, what are you doing now?”“I’m just at home.” Charlie replied in a casual manner. After that, he asked, “What’s wrong? Is there anything you want to tell me?”At this time, Xyla quickly replied, “The reason why I’m calling you today is because I want to report something to you.”“Speak.”Xyla hurriedly explained herself at this time. “So, this is what happened. Yesterday, Jason Grant and Kenneth Wilson came to my grandfather’s medical clinic begging him to treat them! My grandfather did not know that Kenneth had offended you and he almost gave him the other half of the magical pill that you’d previously given to him!”Out of curiosity, Charlie asked, “Why? Does your family have a good relationship with Kennet

    Charlie simply replied, “Yes, I will come over and take a look later in the afternoon.”“That is great, Mr. Wade!” Xyla yelled excitedly before she said, “Let me tell Grandpa the good news now. He must be very excited!”After he was done cleaning up in the kitchen, Charlie came out of the kitchen and he saw that Claire was already ready to leave the house. After that, he asked, “My dear wife, are you heading to your studio now?”Claire shook her head before she said, “No. Mom called me and she told me that she has a friend who’s interested in renovating a villa. Therefore, I’m heading there to check it out.”At this time, Charlie replied in a hurry, “Which area are you heading to?”Claire replied immediately, “The villa by the river.”Charlie smiled before he replied, “That’s perfect! Can you drop me off at Serene World Clinic on the way to the villa? I want to pay a visit to the genius doctor, Dr. Simmons.”Claire was very surprised and she asked, “Are you going to see Dr. Simm

    When Charlie saw Anthony saluting and bowing before him, Charlie waved his hand before he said, “Mr. Simmons, you don’t need to be so polite with me. You don’t need to call me Mr. Wade either, you can just call me Charlie.”“How could I possibly do that?” Anthony hurriedly bowed before he said, “Mr. Wade, you are my master, so how could I possibly address you by your first name?”When Charlie saw how stubborn and persistent the old man was, he did not continue to persuade him. Instead, he simply said, “I heard that Jason Grant and Kenneth Wilson came to see you yesterday?”Anthony was very surprised at this time. “Mr. Wade, how did you find out about this?”Xyla stuck out her tongue before she said, “Grandpa, I was the one who told Mr. Wade about this…”Anthony started to reprimand Xyla immediately. “Young girl! Mr. Wade is so busy with his own daily affairs, so how could you bother him with something as trivial as this?”Xyla felt very aggrieved at this time.The reason why she

    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

    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
