Elaine was also a little disappointed. She had originally planned to find a chance to get close to the other party, but she did not expect that the other party would not take everyone seriously. Still, she could understand why. After all, she was so strong, so it would be easier for her to teach someone a lesson than to teach a lackey. If she had this kind of strength, she would not take others seriously either.However, what Elaine did not expect was that the Oskian girl would look at her at this time and then immediately say very seriously with a friendly smile, “Auntie, you were the only one who gave us a kindly reminder among so many people just now. We can see that you must be a good person. What’s more, we are compatriots. Since you’ve shown us such respect, we will naturally show you respect as well!”Having said that, she looked around the prison cell, pointed at the people in the prison cell, and said to Elaine, “You will be in charge of managing all this trash in the futu
Elaine had never been a good person, and she was even less of a kind person.The fact that Elaine had subconsciously reminded this Oskian girl not to offend Chloe just now was already the peak of Elaine’s humanity over all these years. If Elaine’s humanity was a light bulb, that flash just now might be the only time this light bulb had been lit in decades. But coincidentally, the three female soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies had also been thinking about what method they could secretly employ to secretly and naturally provide support as well as help Elaine vent her anger. Unexpectedly, this flash of humanity had given them the perfect opportunity to use this topic to play their cards right.After that flash, Elaine’s heart was completely shrouded in hatred.The only thing she wanted to do now was to beat Chloe up hard and beat the crap out of her.So, after yelling out loud, Elaine quickly rushed up to Chloe. The more she looked at Chloe’s extremely swollen face, the angrier
Chloe did not feel as helpless and fearful as she was now when the three female soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies had knocked her down to the ground earlier.At this moment, Elaine had already become a crazy killing machine. Chloe only felt that she would lose her life if Elaine continued hitting her like this. So, she cried out loud, “Please... Please let me go... I really know that I was wrong now... I really will not bully anyone else anymore...”Elaine merely felt that Chloe’s screaming was very annoying. So, she held the pile of hair that she had pulled down directly into her hands, formed it into a ball, and stuffed the ball of hair into Chloe’s mouth. After that, she clenched her teeth and said, “F*ck you! You dared to force me to eat toothpaste, right? In that case, I will force you to eat your own hair! This is all your own hair, so hurry up and swallow it now!” Having said that, she remembered something and said again, “D*mn it! I’ll only be letting you off too easily if
When Jacelyn saw that Chloe’s face was swollen after getting beaten up, she was a little shocked and could not help but blurt out, “What... What happened to you?!”Chloe broke down emotionally at this time. She had originally regarded Jacelyn as her savior, but in the blink of an eye, Jacelyn had also become a prisoner. She felt extremely desperate at this point and blurted out, “Don’t worry about me, tell me what is going on with you first...”Jacelyn said with great pain, “Isn’t it all because I collaborated with you to sell the cigarettes at a high price? It’s all that damned 1024’s fault... Her family member brought a million US dollars in cash to buy a thousand cigarettes from my sister in one go. My sister had just put the cigarettes together, and the next thing I knew, the FBI had arrested me before I could even get off work...”“What did you say?!”Chloe exclaimed and then blurted out, “1024’s family bought a thousand cigarettes? Didn’t we agree on only buying two today?!”
Both her arms were already sore, and after beating Chloe for so long, her arms were already seriously exhausted. At this moment, she felt as if her arms were not her own.She could not continue hitting Chloe anymore, but she could not let go of her hatred. So, she clenched her teeth and said to all the inmates, “I want all of you to line up like you usually do when the prison guards check the rooms!”Everyone knew that Elaine was now the person in charge of this place, so they did not dare to disobey her. They hurriedly stood in order according to how they queued when the prison guards checked their cell.The female soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies who had already taught these female inmates a lesson also supported each other and got in line with much difficulty. They also wanted to draw a clear line with Chloe at this moment so as to not get implicated by her in the future. At this moment, Jacelyn, the prison guard who had just been arrested, also felt a little apprehensive. A
Chloe did not even have the chance to beg Elaine for mercy when more than thirty people’s slaps already came in line one after the other. By the time the slapping was done, Chloe was already feeling dizzy, and she felt as if the sky was spinning.She did not know how many times she passed out and was then awakened by a loud slap.As for Elaine, she stood aside as if she was supervising her own workers as she supervised every female inmate who was slapping Chloe. Elaine would go up and kick any inmate who slapped Chloe lightly. In her words, “You are truly a bunch of miserable wretches. You’re usually oppressed and bullied so badly by her, but why are you still being soft-hearted and merciful when you finally have a chance to turn things around now? That slap just now doesn’t count! Slap her again!” In truth, most people were not merciful or soft-hearted when facing Chloe.They were simply tired from slapping her, and it was inevitable that one or two of their slaps would lac
When she heard that Elaine was going to deal with her, she was afraid that Elaine would still be unsatisfied. So, she cried vaguely as she said, “Please forgive me and let me off this time... The mistakes I made in the past have already been repaid at least ten times or a hundred times now. I really will not dare to do this again in the future...”Elaine sneered. “You know how to beg for forgiveness now? Let me tell you, it’s useless! Go on! Go to the toilet and fetch a basin of water to wash everyone’s feet. Starting today, you will have to wash and massage everyone’s feet every day until the day I’m released from prison!” Chloe did not dare to delay, and she forced herself to get up before stumbling to the bathroom. Meanwhile, Elaine sat down on the bed opposite her and pointed to the female inmates who had previously let her wash their feet for them, and she said coldly, “Don’t think that you all are already off the hook now. I have never washed anyone’s feet before in my life,
While Elaine’s life turned around completely in Bedford Hills Correctional Facility and she began acting as the authority and enjoyed the superlative treatment, Charlie, who was at the Fox Mansion, received a piece of information from Porter. Thanks to Ten Thousand Armies’ powerful intelligence channels, this information basically included almost all the crimes that Martha had committed during her years in the United States. This printed material consisted of more than thirty pages, and Charlie spent more than an hour before he finished reading all the information.He was furious after reading these materials!He did not expect that Martha would have committed countless crimes against her own compatriots in the United States.Over the years, there were at least thirty people whose actual identities could be traced and who had died either directly or indirectly in her hands.There were also many more people whose whereabouts were completely unknown after they had come into conta
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
