When Charlie heard Liam’s words, he suddenly felt that Liam was in a similar situation as he was.Once upon a time, he was also an orphan and piece of trash who was humiliated and bullied by others.His life only turned around when Stephen Thompson found him and handed Emgrand Group and a black card with tens of billions of dollars over to him.Later, Charlie finally had the opportunity to achieve greatness when he found the Apocalyptic Book by accident.Once upon a time, he had also been cast aside by everyone. He had also been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself to everyone, as well as to slap all those who had despised him in the past!Therefore, he could understand Liam’s feelings very well.Liam was a child who had been called a b*stard ever since he was a young boy. His mother died and even though he was brought into his own biological father’s home, he was subjected to even greater torture and humiliation. After more than twenty years, the degree of tolerance in hi
Kenneth glared at the head of the Weaver family before he shouted, “Jordan Weaver! Haven’t you found a way to cure me yet?”Jordan trembled a little as he replied, “Don’t worry, Chairman Wilson. I have already sent someone to find a famous doctor to come over to cure you. I have also mobilized all the Weaver family’s contacts in the pharmaceutical industry and we are all looking for even stronger antibiotics that would help to cure you.”Even though he was saying that, Jordan knew that there was no hope at all.He had originally hoped that Jeffrey would be able to invite Anthony to come over to cure Kenneth but Anthony did not give him any face at all. After Jeffrey was driven out of Serene World Clinic by Anthony, he had also gone to look for a few other famous genius doctors in Aurous Hill. However, as soon as any one of them heard that the patient was Kenneth, no one wanted to come.In fact, word about the incident involving Anthony had already spread all over Aurous Hill. Moreo
As soon as he said this, everyone was very excited.Jordan’s eyes widened as he asked in a trembling voice, “What did you just say? Who did Liam bring back with him?”A person yelled at the door, “Liam brought Dr. Simmons and a young man back with him! They have already entered the yard!”As soon as the voice fell, Jordan immediately had an ecstatic look on his face!Dr. Simmons was here?Had Liam finally invited Dr. Simmons here?Oh my god! It seemed as though there was hope for the Weaver family!Kenneth was even more excited at this time.He did not care about the needle infused at the back of his hand. His eyes were filled with excitement at this time!Ever since his penis began to rot, Kenneth knew that Dr. Simmons was the only one who could cure him.However, he also knew that Anthony was very dissatisfied with him and it would be impossible for him to step up and save him.Moreover, he really could not understand why Anthony would change his mind and agree to treat hi
Unexpectedly, this guy was actually together with that b*stard, Liam!Kenneth was also going to greet Anthony excitedly. However, the expression on his face changed as soon as he saw Charlie.At the same time, he could not help but feel very upset.The humiliation that he had suffered in front of Charlie was no less than what Jeffrey had suffered!Originally, he regarded Charlie as his mortal enemy. However, now that Charlie was here with Anthony, he did not dare to say anything or cause a scene at all. This was because he knew that Anthony really looked up to and respected Charlie. If he offended Charlie again, Kenneth was afraid that Anthony would refuse to cure him.As he thought about this, Kenneth stepped forward immediately before he bowed and said, “Uncle Simmons, I know that I’ve angered you previously. I know that it is all my fault. I know that I was wrong. Please heal me!”At this time, Anthony replied nonchalantly, “I’ve already told you that both our families would h
Jeffrey really did not expect to get slapped by both his father and Kenneth at the same time because he was questioning Charlie’s identity.In fact, he could actually tolerate it if Kenneth hit him because he knew that he was the one who had caused Kenneth to end up this way—the only reason Kenneth had ended up like this was due to the medicine that he had given him. Therefore, it was only normal for Kenneth to hate him.However, Jeffrey really could not believe that his father, who would barely hit him throughout all these years, had suddenly slapped him twice in a row!He covered his face as he looked at Jordan and said, “Dad! Why did you hit me again? Did I make a mistake?”“A*shole! Shut up right now!”Jordan glared at him fiercely before he cursed in his heart. Why couldn’t his prodigal son have the ability and sense to know the right things that he should be doing at a time like this?Since Anthony was also doing Charlie’s bidding, then Charlie would be the only savior of t
They were all just fooling around. Thus, Jordan felt that the women should just get rid of the baby once they discovered their pregnancies. Why the h*ll would they give birth to their child?This was the fundamental reason why Jordan had always hated Liam.If it weren’t because his father found out that he had another grandson out there, Jordan would never have taken in a b*stard child who was given to him by a village woman!Even if Liam made a significant contribution to the Weaver family, he would never be able to hand over the Weaver family’s business over to him! Who was he to deserve this?However, Jordan did not reveal the slander and discomfort in his heart. He simply wanted to send the plague god, Kenneth, away!Therefore, Jordan said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, please help Chairman Wilson!”Kenneth also looked at Charlie with a bitter expression on his face. After all, wasn’t the reason why he called Charlie his grandfather and why he apologized to him simply because he wa
“Using human urine?!” Kenneth immediately said with an awkward expression, “Is… isn’t this a little disgusting? Do you really need to use urine?”Charlie snorted. “Do you think I’m bluffing?”He pointed to Jordan and asked, “You! You’ve been in the pharmaceutical business for many years now. Let me ask you, don’t they use the urine of little boys as a primer in ancient medicine?”“Yes, that’s right!” Jordan nodded. “Many ancient methods require little boys’ urine as a medicine primer. In fact, there’s even a tradition of eating urine-soaked eggs in the south. It’s proven to have a certain health effect.”Then, he turned to Kenneth and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wilson. Little boys’ urine is a very pristine ingredient in Chinese medicine, it’s not as dirty as you imagine it to be.”Kenneth was a little relieved when he heard it was the little boys’ urine.He had seen the appearance of the little boys’ urine in the Chinese classic movies. Indeed, it wasn’t as disgusting as it sounded.
The guys in the crowd looked at each other silently, then they simultaneously looked at Jordan, the head of the Weaver family.Everyone knew that Jordan had been a womanizer when he was young. Back in the days, he had even eaten a poisonous remedy made out of billies just for the sole purpose of sleeping around with women that put his life on the verge of death when he was only sixty years old. So, he was the man who slept with the most women among them all.Jordan started to grin triumphantly when he noticed everyone’s gaze falling upon him. He stood upright and said, “Master Wade, for your information, I was quite charming when I was young, so I did have plenty of admirers back in the days. I guess I slept with about three to five hundred women!”Charlie nodded reluctantly and said to Kenneth as he pointed at Jordan, “Okay, he’s your man.”Kenneth grimaced slightly.Did Charlie really ask him to drink the old coot’s urine? That was too f*cking disgusting!However, Charlie did
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
