Merlin was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and he could not help but ask, “A hundred million US dollars could have such an impact?!”Merlin’s son-in-law nodded heavily without hesitation, “That’s right! Dad, a hundred million US dollars has that much power in the hands of rich people!”With that said, he continued, “Of course, the most important point here is that the Acker family can guarantee us an annual net interest rate of eight percent. Uncle Christian said that if the market environment goes down and cannot reach the net interest rate of eight percent or if there was a loss, the Acker family will also make up for our trust’s eight percent net profit. For example, under normal circumstances, a hundred million US dollars will become a hundred and eight million US dollars in the first year, but if the market environment is no good this year and the hundred million US dollars is only ninety million US dollars in the end, the Acker family will take out eighteen million US

Merlin suddenly felt that this world was somewhat magical when he saw his son-in-law’s nervous and eager expression.He originally admired his son-in-law very much and always felt that this boy had an unyielding spirit, was not afraid of poverty, and would never lower his head or admit defeat. To put it bluntly, he felt that his son-in-law was very similar to himself, and he could even see a bit of himself in his son-in-law.It was precisely because of this that Merlin sincerely treated his son-in-law as his own son since he had no son of his own.But at this moment, his son-in-law’s behavior made him realize that as a detective who had seen countless people, his view of his son-in-law had been one-sided, wrong, and naïve. He used to think that his son-in-law was the kind of noble character who would not lust after wealth, but now, it seemed that he was already lustful from a somewhat high starting point, and this starting point was completely inaccessible both to him and his so

All of them would have to wait eighteen years, whether it was for a luxury mansion, a luxury car, or to live a luxurious high society life.If they took into account that there was still eight months to the baby’s expected due date, that would be equivalent to waiting for nineteen years.However, the ten million US dollars cheque that Kathleen had given to Merlin was different. This was not a conditional family trust, but it was a real cash cheque. As long as Merlin took this cheque to any bank in the United States, the cheque could be exchanged for ten million US dollars in cash directly. When Merlin heard them asking about the ten million US dollars, he could not help but say, “My original idea was to put the money into a trust, but the trust that I checked did not have an annualized return as high as eight percent. I calculated it at an annualized interest rate of 3.8%, and there would be almost twenty million US dollars in the trust after eighteen years. The interest can then

The next day, while Yahiko and Hiroshi were wearing masks as they jogged in Central Park, Rosalie and her parents bid farewell to Charlie with immense gratitude before they headed to the airport and took a flight back to Aurous Hill.Charlie stayed in New York for two more days. After spending some time with Nanako and the other Ito family members for two days, Nanako also said goodbye to Charlie reluctantly before her family set off and returned to Japan.After Nanako had left, Charlie gave Porter the order to take Clarissa, who had handed the contraband over to Elaine, back to New York.Clarissa’s real name was Clara Holt. In recent years, she had been working as Martha’s underling. Her main task was to pose as a businesswoman with the false identity of Clarissa Zinn and hand contraband goods that needed to be brought out of the country over to the mules chosen by Martha.Although this woman had never killed anyone with her own hands, she had aided the evildoers and harmed many i

At this time, Elaine looked at the female prison guard before slowly putting down the magazine in her hand as she said with some dissatisfaction, “Lucia, it’s not that I want to complain about you, but the magazines that you’ve been delivering to me these days are all too boring. The stories in the magazines are bad, vulgar, and not educational at all. Can’t you get me a few copies of ‘Soulmates’ instead?” “‘Soulmates’?” The female prison guard was a native Oskian-American, so she did not know what Soulmates was at all. So, she asked nervously, “Elaine, what is this ‘Soulmates’ you’re talking about?”Elaine said arrogantly, “Soulmates is a very deep and literary Oskian magazine. It has been my favorite literary publication for many years. If it weren’t for prejudice, the author of Soulmates would have already won the Nobel Prize for Literature! Imperialism is indeed taking over!”The female prison guard said embarrassedly, “Elaine, the Nobel Prize is not judged by Americans. It’s m

Elaine’s icy cold voice made Chloe and Jacelyn’s faces turned pale out of fear.Their lives had been comparable to hell over the past few days.The two of them were doomed to a terrible end considering what they had done to Elaine before, coupled with Elaine’s vengeful character.In the beginning, Elaine would beat and torture them, but now, she had gradually changed to humiliating and treating them as her slaves instead. Denying them food, finding all kinds of coolie jobs for them, and then watching them struggle like captives who had been imprisoned without being able to catch their breath was Elaine’s favorite thing to do. For example, when the weather was hot, Elaine liked to be barefoot in the cell, so the two of them would have to take turns wiping the floor at least five times a day. If the soles of her feet got dirty after walking in the cell for a day, the two of them would not be able to sleep that night. While the others were sleeping, they would have to kneel on the

As she was thinking about this happily, the Oskian female prison guard from earlier rushed to her dining table and said happily, “Elaine, Elaine! There’s good news, Elaine!”When Elaine saw her excited expression, her heart skipped a beat, and she could not help but blurt out, “What’s the good news? Why are you so excited?”The female prison guard hurriedly explained, “Elaine, your lawyer is here!”“My lawyer?!” Elaine’s expression instantly froze and she exclaimed, “Is it Jakel White? What is he doing here?!” The female prison guard said excitedly, “He’s here to meet with you. He said that he has some good news that he wants to convey to you in person.”Elaine was stunned and frowned as she said, “Could it be... Could it be that he has cleared me of suspicion?!” The female prison guard said without hesitation, “That should be it. Otherwise, how could it be good news?! Congratulations, Elaine! You will soon be cleared of all suspicion and regain your freedom!”Elaine’s express

Elaine’s words caused Jakel to be dumbfounded as he froze on the spot.He subconsciously asked, “Madam Elaine, what do you mean by a few days later?”Elaine said angrily, “What else can a few days later mean aside from its literal meaning?! Just tell them to hold off for a few days and not be so anxious!”Jakel was suddenly so embarrassed. He really could not understand why Elaine would make such a strange request. He was puzzled and could not help but ask, “Madam Elaine, I’m a little confused. Didn’t you want me to help get you out of here as soon as possible? Why don’t you want to go out now?”Elaine said seriously, “To tell you the truth, I’ve fallen in love with this place, and the people here are very friendly. I have made many friends here that I might not meet again. After all, I’m not American, and I will also be going back to Oskia soon.”In truth, Elaine did not have any real friends here at all, just some people from all over the world who wanted to flatter her.

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6607
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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6603
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

In the first place, Jimmy had come to Oskia to claim a stake in Smith Group Corporate Law, ideally strong-arming Paul and Matilda into splitting the firm in two, with Jimmy taking everything in the States while Paul kept what was left.The way Jimmy saw it, Paul and Matilda were going to be permanently residing in Oskia anyway. There was no way they could manage things over in another country properly, so it was basically returning the firm to the rightful owner.Naturally, Jimmy also knew that despite bearing the Smith family name, the success of Smith Group Corporate Law was all the work of Jimmy's brother and Matilda. Jimmy's father had helped to a certain extent, but that extent of financial support wouldn't amount to an investment at all. No judge in the world would support his claim to the law firm's shares.Therefore, when he learned that Matilda was remarrying, he thought he could seize the moment to cause a scene. Nothing could be better if she and Paul decided to sacrifice

Jimmy deliberately raised his voice as he said coolly, "Oh, but I didn't want to intervene. It's you and your mother who left the States in a split second, taking with you the law firm which bears the Smith family name. Don't you think such behavior is inappropriate?"Seeing the surprised reactions of the guests, Paul promptly retorted, "The law firm uses the Smith family name, but it is my parents' legacy! They worked blood and sweat to build it from the ground up, and as their only son, I have a veto when it comes to decisions. Or did we need your permission to move to Oskia?""Where's your conscience, Paul?" Jimmy pursed his lips. "Even if you don't know how Smith Group Corporate Law was founded, is that the case for you? It would have been a joke if it weren't for my father's connections!"Hell, it's no exaggeration that it was my father who fought to expand the law firm across America, and just using the family name means you're borrowing the family's influence. The family hono

The blonde man's voice drew everyone's attention in an instant.Despite his foreign appearance, he spoke Oskian fluently and walked with a haughty gait, almost as though he was above the rest.Paul's expression turned grim the instant he saw him, and he hurried over with Charlie.Still, before Paul could speak, Charlie stopped him, frowning at the man as he said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate to come slinging personal attacks at someone else's wedding?"The man clearly didn't know Charlie, and he wasn't worried, seeing that he was young.Snorting in disdain, he asked, "You must be from the groom's family, yes? Please tell him that he doesn't deserve my sister-in-law.""It's up to the happy couple to decide that," Charlie retorted quietly. "Deserving someone is no issue as long as they both love each other."The man pursed his lips and looked pointedly around him. "Just look at how simple this wedding is. Forget picking an unassuming city like Aurous Hill—is there a single
