Chapter 444

Author: Lord Leaf
Jeffrey knew that if people continued bidding for the premium purple ginseng, the price of the purple ginseng would probably cost twenty to thirty million dollars in the end. Therefore, he simply doubled the price of the purple ginseng in the first bid just so that he could frighten some people away. He was also hoping that he would be able to take the purple ginseng away at a lower price instead!

“Eleven million dollars.” A middle-aged man in the hall also shouted as he raised his placard.

Jeffrey glanced at the man in disdain before he raised his placard again and said, “Fifteen million dollars.”

“Sixteen million dollars.”

Someone spoke up again.

“Twenty-five million dollars,” Jeffrey yelled as he held up his placard again.

In fact, Jeffrey was simply helping Kenneth to participate in the auction this time. Kenneth would be the one bearing the price of the bid today. Therefore, he did not feel distressed at all.

The price of twenty-five million dollars made many people think o

    Many people at the scene knew that Kenneth had once knelt before Charlie and had called him his father and grandfather. Therefore, they laughed out loud as soon as they heard Charlie’s words.Kenneth, not wanting to lose any more face, grit his teeth as he said, “Okay, then! You really have the guts! I will pay ninety million dollars for it!”Jeffrey tugged at his sleeves before he said, “Chairman Wilson, ninety million dollars is way too expensive for the purple ginseng! That thing is not worth that much money. Don’t act so impulsively and be fooled by that b*stard!”Ninety million dollars just to buy that purple ginseng?! No ginseng was worth that much money unless it was for a ginseng that was more than a thousand years old!Even though Kenneth was extremely rich, he was not an extravagant or wasteful person. He already felt a burn in his pocket when he had to spend fifteen million dollars just to have sexual intercourse with Wendy. Kenneth could really feel the hole in his wall

    What if he had accidentally thrown the cheque into the washing machine to wash with his clothes?Oh my God! It was shocking for them to even think about it.Kenneth’s face twitched faintly in anger. He really did not understand why this piece of trash could actually have so much money. Wasn’t he just a useless son-in-law of the Wilson family?Charlie asked the host, “Since no one can outbid me and since I can afford to pay one hundred million dollars for it, the superb purple ginseng should belong to me now, right?”The host regained his senses and said immediately, “Now, I am going to announce that this three-hundred-year-old purple ginseng belongs to…”Before he could finish his sentence, Kenneth hurriedly said, “Stop! I am going to increase the bid now!”Everyone at the scene was shocked yet again.The auction had begun at five million dollars, and the bid was already at one hundred million dollars now. Was he really going to continue bidding and increasing the price?The pu

    Everyone looked at Kenneth at this time.Kenneth felt very ashamed and annoyed, and he cursed out loud, “You are the impotent one! Your whole family is impotent! I am still very able and well!”Charlie smiled faintly before he said, “Whoever is impotent would know for themselves. Some people cannot get hard where they should and only have a hard mouth. What is the point in that?”Everyone laughed out loud at this time.Was it true? The famous and reputable Chairman Wilson had really lost his manhood?It seemed as though it was true. Otherwise, why would he try so hard to bid for a premium purple ginseng? Moreover, he was even here with Jeffrey from the Weaver family today.Everyone here today was people from the medical field. Everyone knew that the Weaver family was currently studying a new drug that could strengthen male virility and greatly restore a person’s manhood. It seemed as though the reason why Kenneth and Jeffrey were here together today was simply because Kenneth wan

    ”It is already written all over your face. So, how could I possibly not know?”Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “If you have encountered any difficulties, please do not hesitate to ask for my help. You can just tell me about it.”Aurora subconsciously touched her cheeks, and she could feel that her cheeks were burning hot.Even though she was originally a very brave and cool person with a cheerful personality, she would always be very shy and embarrassed in front of Charlie.After calming herself down, she spoke up seriously, “Mr. Wade, there is indeed something on my mind. I want to ask you for your help.”Charlie nodded before he said, “Okay, tell me about it.”Aurora explained, “Mr. Wade, I have a very good friend in college. She used to have a very lively, cheerful, and positive personality. However, I feel that she has been brainwashed by her boyfriend recently, and it seems as though she is doing a lot of extreme things nowadays. There was one time when she even trie

    Charlie made an appointment to meet up with Aurora at the Aurous University of Finance and Economics where she was studying later in the evening. After that, he returned home with his three hundred years old purple ginseng.On the way home, Charlie called Don Albert and Isaac respectively, telling them that someone was thinking of getting their hands on the medicine in Anthony’s hands. Therefore, he asked them to send someone to protect Anthony in secret as they kept an eye on Ichiro.As Isaac had already spent many years in Aurous Hill, he had undue influence in the city. Charlie asked Isaac to set up a secret post directly at the airport to keep an eye on Ichiro so that he would not be able to leave Aurous Hill so casually.He knew that Ichiro had to be planning to take the magical pill away from Anthony so that he could bring it back to Japan with him to analyze and study its ingredients.Therefore, Charlie was planning to set a big trap for Ichiro.Meanwhile, Ichiro had comple

    Charlie dragged her to the shore as he reprimanded her coldly, “Your parents are the ones who gave you your body, hair, and skin! Don’t you think that you are letting your parents down by hurting yourself just because of a scumbag?”The girl continued wailing, “Please, just let me die. Let me die now. I am just a dirty and impure person. I am too ashamed to face my parents now. I am only bringing them shame by staying alive. They will only be free when I am dead…”Charlie dragged her to the shore with ease before he finally threw her on the grass and yelled at her furiously, “D*mn it! You should not only be living for yourself, but you should also be living for your parents! They worked so hard to raise you and nurture you until you became an adult. They watched over you as you grew up, and they provided for your education. You should not be committing suicide by jumping into a lake just because of a scumbag like him! You should become a talented pillar so that you could make your pa

    If the scumbag’s psychological manipulation was a stream, then Charlie’s hypnosis was the entire ocean!In an instant, Charlie’s hypnosis completely defeated the psychological manipulation that the scumbag had been giving Luna all this while.Charlie’s words were like the beacon of her life, and it would never disappear from her heart in this lifetime.Luna suddenly realized how stupid she had been all this time.When she thought about how she had almost been bewitched by that scumbag to commit suicide, she was so frightened and thankful that she immediately knelt and kowtowed in front of Charlie before saying, “Thank you for saving my life! I promise I will live well and never disappoint my parents. I will definitely contribute to society in the future!”Charlie nodded in satisfaction as he said, “Since you have already regained your senses, then I wish for you to have a happy and fulfilling life in the future.”As he continued chatting with her, Charlie suddenly thought of the

    The girl dropped all her lines of defense completely when she saw how generous he was. Therefore, she was especially curious to find out more about Kian.Just then, Kian’s cell phone suddenly rang. He looked at the caller ID and found out that it was Luna who was calling him. He could not help but frown immediately.Why wasn’t this woman dead yet? How annoying!The beautiful girl saw the strange expression on his face, and she asked curiously, “Is it a phone call from your girlfriend?”“No, it’s not!” Kian hurriedly explained. “My ex-girlfriend. She cheated on me, but I do not know why she wants to keep pestering me.”After that, Kian sighed as he said, “Beauty, please wait for me. I will be back as soon as I answer this phone call.”“Alright!”Kian took his cell phone in his hand before he walked out of the bar. After answering the call, he started cursing as soon as he opened his mouth. “Why are you calling me? You are such a filthy woman! Haven’t you brought me enough insult

    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
