When Jason saw that his legs had already turned into ash that was floating in the air, he was so frightened that he started crying out loud. He really could not comprehend what was going on.Only then did he finally understand that Charlie was really a dragon sent from the heavens and he was not even a bug in front of Charlie.After that, Charlie said in an indifferent manner, “Ever since you set your eyes on my wife, you have only one path before you! Death!”As soon as he heard this, Jason was so afraid that he could not stop trembling uncontrollably.Death?As he thought about this, Jason broke down completely and he cried bitterly as he begged, “Mr. Wade, I’ve already lost my legs. I’m a completely disabled person now! Please. Please just let me off now.”Charlie sneered before he said, “Don’t you want to accompany your father? Don’t forget that he died because of you!”“No, I don’t want to! I don’t want to die!” Jason waved his hands as he yelled hysterically.Death?He w
There was something he wanted to say but he did not dare say it.‘Aren’t you just the useless son-in-law of the Wilson family, the famous piece of trash?’When Charlie saw that Jason did not dare to speak up, he smiled before he said, “You must think that I’m just a stinky piece of trash, right?”Jason did not dare to answer.Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “To tell you the truth, I’m the young lord of the Wade family in Eastcliff and I’m also the chairman of Emgrand Group. Do you think your family could possibly be more powerful than mine?”Jason was terrified at this time.The Wade family?Wasn’t that the most wealthy and powerful family in the country?Why…Why would the young lord of the Wade family in Eastcliff come to Aurous Hill to become the son-in-law of the Wilson family?Jason could not understand this fact at all and he said, “I don’t understand…I don’t understand at all. If you really are the young lord of the Wade family, then why are you willing to stay
At this time, Elaine heaved a huge sigh of relief before she patted her chest and said, “It’s a blessing! It’s really a blessing today! I was almost destroyed by Justin today…”Claire looked at her before she said helplessly, “Mom, can you have a conscience whenever you do anything in the future? Can you not be so materialistic and foolish? I don’t know what we would have done earlier. If not for Charlie, we’d both be dead today!”Elaine knew that she was wrong but she said in a reluctant manner, “What’s the matter? I’m also a victim in this matter! Besides, this incident only happened because of Charlie! Everything started from Charlie! If he did not provoke Jason in the first place, then we wouldn’t have encountered this kind of danger at all. This is all Charlie’s fault!”Claire was really angry at this time and she yelled, “You’re really unbelievable!”After that, Claire pushed the door open and she got out of the car before heading into the house immediately.When Elaine saw
After that, Claire said to Charlie, “Husband, go and pack up now!”Charlie nodded as he said, “Okay, I will go now.”Claire took out her cell phone before she said to Elaine, “I’m going to call dad and tell him that I’m moving out today. I won’t be living with the two of you in future. No matter what you do wrong in the future, I won’t blame you or scold you again!”Elaine panicked immediately.In this life, her one and only hope was Claire.Otherwise, if she had to depend on Jacob, she would never have the chance to turn things over in this life.This time, Claire seemed to have a very determined attitude. If she really called Jacob, then there would be no room for reversal.So, Elaine rushed over and hugged Claire’s legs before she cried and said, “Claire, please don’t leave me! Claire, please don’t leave your mom. I know that I’m at fault. I know that I’m in the wrong. This is all because I was petty and materialistic! I promise that I will change in the future, okay? Please
Since Elaine had already admitted to her own mistake and guaranteed that she would never do something like this again, Claire became soft-hearted and she decided not to pursue the matter further.When they were both alone, Claire told Charlie, “Charlie, my mom is always like this. Please don’t blame her too much. As long as she realizes her own mistake and is willing to turn over a new leaf, we should give her a second chance.”What could Charlie say? After all, she was Claire’s biological mother and his mother-in-law. Therefore, he could only smile as he said, “I understand, Claire. You don’t have to worry about me. You can decide on this matter on your own. I’m your husband and she’s my mother-in-law, so I won’t blame her for anything she does.”Claire nodded before she hugged Charlie gently and said, “Dear husband, I’m really grateful to you. If it weren’t because of you, Mom and I wouldn’t have been able to leave that place alive…”Charlie smiled before he said, “Okay, don’t me
At the same time, Kenneth, who had his manhood destroyed by Charlie, was waiting for Justin’s phone call at home.Last night, he saw the pair of father and son pacing up and down the entrance of Anthony’s Serene World Clinic. It seemed as though the both of them were trying to light up Serene World Clinic with gasoline. It was then that Kenneth realized that he would be able to use these fools to his own advantage.He originally thought that he could fool both of them into getting rid of Anthony. After that, he would swap out Anthony’s real medicine with the fake ones he had already prepared.As soon as he got his hands on Anthony’s real medicine, he would be able to restore his manhood to its former glory.However, even though Justin said that he would call him today, he did not call him at all. This made Kenneth a little anxious.He did not know Justin’s name and he could only keep dialing the phone number that had been given to him. No matter how many times he called, the call
When Kenneth thought about the fact that the disappearance of the father and son of the Grant family might have something to do with Charlie, Kenneth could not help but feel very nervous.If Charlie could really let the father and son evaporate from the face of this world, then he was afraid that Charlie would also get rid of him…Moreover, since the father and son had already disappeared, he would not be able to get his hands on Anthony’s magic medicine.After all, there would not be any substitute for a dead man and he should not do anything to provoke Anthony at this time.As everyone was keeping silent, Lady Wilson suddenly looked at Kenneth in a flattering manner as she said in a humble manner, “Mr. Wilson, should we head to one of the big hospitals in Eastcliff instead? Perhaps you’d be able to find a cure for your illness then.”Kenneth was the final life-saving straw for the entire Wilson family and Lady Wilson felt even more anxious than him at this time. If Kenneth could
Wendy dressed up very beautifully today. She wore a black figure-hugging dress that was worth over a hundred thousand dollars. The dress revealed her beautiful curves and figure and she put on heavy makeup tonight.Even though she was not as beautiful as Claire or Jasmine, she could easily get most men excited after putting on some makeup and dressing up in some revealing clothing.When she heard that she was going to meet the young lord of the Weaver family, she was also a little excited.Although the Weaver family was not one of the top families in Aurous Hill, it was still a much stronger and more powerful family compared to the Wilson family.Now that the Wilson family was still struggling, Wendy also hoped that she would be able to get to know more wealthy and powerful people. If she was fortunate enough, she might have the opportunity to bring some improvements and business to the Wilson family.Kenneth and Wendy continued waiting in the private room for a short while when s
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
