“Oh, you can’t stand it?” Charlie chuckled and said to Oscar, “Call Albert and take these two to his dog-fighting ring. Chop them up and feed the dogs like what we did to Mr. Lannerd!”Oscar nodded immediately. “Yes, Master Wade!”The other day, the fraudulent Feng Shui master from Hong Kong, Mr. Lannerd, was exposed because he had deceived Miss Moore and was thrown into the dog-fighting ring by Albert.Albert was quite an expert in doing this kind of thing. He was already familiar with it.Jeffrey and Wendy were frightened by Charlie’s threat. There was no room for them to bargain, they had to accept their fate.Jeffrey blurted for the sake of his life, “Okay, I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”Then, he instantly rushed towards the urinal.Wendy wailed, her tears flowing down her cheeks like rivers.This was the worst humiliation she had suffered in her life and it was also the worst torment…Charlie didn’t want to stay here to watch their licking skill, he said to Oscar, “Remember, yo
Charlie entered the elevator and went to the top floor, the 18th floor. He found Jasmine and told her his overall opinion about the Feng Shui of the club.Jasmine was a little disappointed when she heard that the Feng Shui was unremarkable and blunt. It seemed that the Feng Shui master she hired previously was not very great at his job.She asked anxiously, “Master Wade, do you have any idea on how to improve the club’s aura?”Charlie smiled faintly. “Have someone planted two pine trees on the first floor, placed in the southeast and northwest corners facing each other. Then, replace the two stone pillars at the main door with stone lions, not a male and a female, and definitely not a lioness and a cub. It must be two male lions, and you must not place them in parallel. Their eyes must be at a 90-degree angle. Have someone make two gold foils and press them under the stone lion. By doing this, you can form an auspicious configuration of two lions gathering wealth.”Jasmine asked re
On second thought, nope, she got what she deserved!Wendy was the femme fatale with a heart as malicious as snakes and scorpions! There were so many occasions where she had instigated others to insult him and she had even wanted to rob his manhood! If it wasn’t for his connections and ability, he would have died from her schemes.So, he merely gave her a lesson that she would never forget for the rest of her life!Charlie said to Oscar, “I’m leaving now, Miss Moore is waiting for me downstairs. Supervise them carefully. If I find out that you’ve let them off the hook easily, I’ll hunt you down!”Oscar bowed frightfully. “Don’t worry, Master Wade, I’ll keep my eyes on them at all times! I won’t spare them!”“Okay.” Charlie nodded and turned away.After he left, Wendy and Jeffrey increased their speed and licked the disgusting urinal faster in fear of being punished for their slowness.When they finally finished licking the right urinals, their tongues had almost detached from the
In her Rolls-Royce, Jasmine sent Charlie all the way to the supermarket.Soon, the majestic Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the supermarket. Charlie said to Jasmine as he exited the car, “Thanks for the ride. Bye.”Jasmine nodded at him, her expression complex and ambiguous. “Have a nice day, Master Wade. You’re always welcome at Glorious Club, please come to enjoy the facilities whenever you’re available, I’ll always be there and will personally serve you myself.”Charlie smiled lightly and replied, “Okay, I’ll drop by when I’m free. Bye.”Jasmine nodded. “Okay, Master Wade, bye.”She bid farewell to Charlie respectfully. As she watched him disappear into the crowded supermarket, she sighed, crestfallen.She felt very unjust and disappointed when Charlie, the true dragon with superb strength, had to rush to the supermarket to buy ingredients to make dinner before his wife got off work.She had met Claire before. Indeed, Claire was very beautiful and elegant as she did, but Clai
After getting home and finished making dinner, Jacob, who had been out all day, came home first, then followed by Claire who had been busy at work the whole day.After all the food was served on the table, Elaine hurried back happily and said proudly, “Hey guys, I won more than seven grand from playing cards today!”Jacob gasped reflexively, “Wow, dear, that’s awesome! Seven grand a day, that’s two hundred and ten grand a month!”Claire frowned, displeased. “Mom, I don’t mind if you play cards occasionally in your leisure time and a little winning is understandable too, but seven grand a day? Isn’t that a bit too much? Careful not to get addicted, it’s very risky!”Elaine waved her hand in disdain and snapped, “Hey, I know what I’m doing, don’t you come to lecture me about it. My card mates are a bunch of rookies, they are far worse than me. I can win even with my eyes closed! Don’t you know your mom’s nickname around here? The Queen of Cards, that’s me!”Claire sighed helplessly
Honestly, Charlie didn’t want to go. In fact, he would even reject Claire’s offer if it wasn’t for Elaine meddling between them like that.The reason why he didn’t want to go was that he was rather repulsed by Loreen right now.Ever since Loreen found out that he was her life savior and her dream lover after he rescued her for the second time, she had been confessing to him repeatedly.Now that she asked his wife to the hot springs and insisted on inviting him, his wife might be the cover for her real intention of wanting to see him.It would be very awkward and unpleasant if he did go.However, he was irritated and annoyed by Elaine’s babbling and nagging.‘You don’t want me to go, huh? I will go then! Bite me!’Elaine didn’t expect Charlie to disobey her. She was panting and huffing with anger, but she couldn’t say anything in front of Claire.Since Charlie had agreed to go, Claire said, “Loreen booked rooms at Champs Elys Spa Resort in the suburbs, it is said to be the prope
Before going out, Charlie was still a little hesitant and reluctant.He didn’t know how to deal with a passionate and bold girl like Loreen. He didn’t want to hurt her feelings and more importantly, he didn’t want to betray Claire.He was in a complete dilemma right now.He was worried that Loreen would confess to him again during the hot springs getaway and she might make an even bolder move too.On the other hand, since he had promised his wife, it was impossible to retract his promise, so he could only go ahead with the plan.As they went downstairs, they saw Loreen poking her head out of a Mercedes-Benz and saying, “Charlie, put the luggage in the trunk and sit in the back. Let Claire sit in the front and chat with me on the way!”“Okay!” Charlie nodded, put the luggage in the trunk, and squeezed into the back seat.When he sat down, Loreen turned and winked at him shyly.Pretending not to see it, Charlie stretched himself and said, “Oh, I’m so tired. I didn’t sleep well la
Loreen was very upset and pissed as well. She was the daughter of the Thomas family and there was no way she would take the blame so innocently, so she pushed the door, got out of the car immediately, and shouted back, “Hey, shut up! It’s your fault in the first place! Can’t you see I was reversing into the spot? Are you f*cking blind? How dare you scold me first!”The young man did not expect that Loreen would talk back at him. He yelled, “Oh my f*cking god, another stupid female driver! Nine out of ten dumbest drivers on the road are women! Can you even f*cking drive? If you can’t, go back to your mother’s womb and learn how to drive before you come out again, don’t embarrass yourself like this!”Then, he added, “I’ve just bought this car for a hundred grand and you’ve scratched it, goddamnit! How much do you want to pay?”Loreen frowned and retorted, “Hey, first things first! I saw the space first and was already halfway into it when you came out of nowhere and tried to snatch th
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
