With that said, Christopher smacked his lips and sighed emotionally as he said, “But this rice cereal is really f*cking unpalatable. It doesn’t leave any fragrance in your mouth after you eat it, and it even tastes a little bitter. Would it cost the manufacturers a lot to use some good materials?” Hannah raised her hand and slapped him, stunning him.Christopher was about to ask her why she had done that when Hannah then said impatiently, “Who the hell are you to call me your honey?! Weren’t you the one who slapped me, forced me to get a divorce with you, and asked me to get out of this house?”Christopher was taken aback and hurriedly said, “Oh, Honey, it’s all my fault! I was blind and didn’t know how to cherish a good wife like you. If I mention divorce to you again, I will be struck to death by lightning!” Hannah laughed coldly and said, “Oh, Christopher, your attitude really changes very quickly! What did you say at the beginning? You said that I cuckolded you, got pregnant
Before finding a means to make a living through live broadcasting, Hannah was often rejected by the Wilson family. This was especially so after she came back from the black coal mine and was found to be pregnant as well as infected with venereal disease. Lady Wilson and Christopher had never treated her well. At that time, even her son, Harold, felt ashamed of his mother, and he felt that she was a disgrace.When Hannah was facing the most difficult time of her life, the only person in this family who made her feel warm was her daughter, Wendy.Since encountering setbacks and being rescued by Charlie, Wendy’s personality had changed a lot. She became much more stable and down-to-earth, and she was also much kinder because of the trials and tribulations she had gone through.She knew what had happened to her mother. Even though it was a little embarrassing to speak of it, she could not do anything about her mother’s situation.Outsiders could laugh at and mock her mother, but th
“It’s not normal!” Hannah said very resolutely, “It’s a working day, and the data should not fluctuate too much. If we want to make money, we must ensure that the data has been rising steadily. Once the data starts to go downhill, that is definitely a very dangerous signal. If it falls by two to three percent every day, it will not take long before we will be back to our original state. We have to find a way to let our data rise again and continue to surge higher.”Christopher asked, “Honey, do you have any good ideas?”Hannah said coldly, “I’ve been thinking about it for the past two days. Those scums in the live broadcast room may have gotten a little tired of watching the two of you in a paralyzed state in bed. I plan to change the script a little starting tomorrow.”Christopher hurriedly asked, “Honey, what script are you going to change?”Hannah said calmly, “I checked on the internet, and it seems that pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate. I checked some of the ea
Hannah hummed in response and then said to Lady Wilson, “Old lady, you also have a new script.”Lady Wilson hurriedly asked respectfully, “Hannah, just tell me how you need me to act!”Hannah said coldly, “When Harold’s act for his diagnosis of uremia is done, you have to cry a lot in front of the camera every day. You can play the role of a blind woman after ten to twenty days of continuous crying.”“Play the role of a blind woman...” Lady Wilson’s mouth twitched, but she still said helplessly, “Okay, I will listen to you...”Hannah stood up in satisfaction and said condescendingly, “All of you should give it your best and act well. After the new wave of scripts is completed and our sales increase to a higher level, I will go to the suburbs to buy a bigger villa. I’ll bring all of you over there, then. Your injuries will probably be healed by then, and you will be able to do your live broadcast at night and enjoy a leisurely life during the day without being disturbed by others.”
After Jennifer returned to the room and met up with the other two, she saw that their faces were filled with righteous indignation and anger.She quickly asked, “Did you record everything? Don’t drop the ball for me at this time!”Yulia said in exasperation, “Jennifer, the Wilson family is truly evil. You may not have been able to hear what they said from out on the balcony, but Hannah and that damned old woman were cursing at us like crazy!”“That’s right!” Yara also said angrily, “The main point is that Hannah is really evil. Not to mention scolding the three of us, but she also scolded those people who spent money on them in her live broadcast room. Don’t you think that this b*tch is really as bad as one could be?!”Yulia also chimed in and said, “That shameless woman, Hannah, is now starting to think of other deception methods. She asked her husband and son to pretend to have advanced pancreatic cancer and the other to pretend to have uremia. That damned old lady will have a sc
Next, there was only one slightly laborious process left, which was to synchronize the audio and video time tracks so that the audio and video would be synchronized. Fortunately, the video file and the audio file were whole, so Elaine only needed to find one of the clips where it was easier to recognize the mouth shape, then echo the corresponding audio of this clip, and the entire video and the audio would be perfectly matched.Soon, Elaine found a very convenient lip-sync and synchronized the audio and video to perfection. She then previewed the entire video, and after confirming that there were no problems, she exported the video file.After the video was exported, Elaine grinned happily as she reviewed it again.She could not help but sigh and say, “Hannah, oh, Hannah, I really underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a day. In that case, you will definitely be able to earn a small goal in a year, right? Unexpectedly, you’re really capab
Although Elaine had been on the short video platform for a long time, those boring and casual videos she had posted could barely get ten likes for the longest time.So, when she saw so many likes and comments, she felt as if all of this was not real. She felt as if the slot machine in the casino had suddenly hit three 7s, and the numbers in the amount column kept rolling upward, giving her the illusion as if she was in a dream. However, all of this was real.The content of this video itself was very explosive, and its nature was extremely bad, so ordinary people would feel righteous indignation when they saw it. The number and data on this video were outrageously good because of this!Soon, the number of views quickly exceeded one million, and it took less than five minutes for it to go from one to two million views.According to the background algorithm of the short video platform, this video was the best-performing video on the entire short video platform at the moment.A wo
Meanwhile, Hannah had just arrived at the luxury suite of the five-star hotel.She had already called the hotel’s housekeeper and asked her to prepare a bath for herself as well as to specially put in some imported bath salts and many fresh rose petals when she was on the way here. As soon as she arrived at the hotel, she quickly took off her clothes and soaked in the comfortable jacuzzi.After she took a bath, she made an appointment for an essential oil massage at the hotel. She lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the massage until she fell asleep with a body full of essential oil. For Hannah, this had become the best way for her to relieve fatigue. As a big customer of the hotel, she did not care what would happen to the quilts and bedsheets after they got dirty because no matter how messy she made the room, the place would be cleaned up neatly and would be spotless if she left and came back tomorrow.This was also an important reason why Hannah especially liked stay
However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e
The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi
And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J
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
