“There is also the kind of person with great foresight. After his parents were killed, he knows that his situation is not safe, so he might choose to stay in this place by adhering to the logic that the most dangerous place is the safest.”Having said that, Merlin added, “Oh, by the way, there is another possibility, and that is there are other people making arrangements for him behind the scenes. Under this kind of circumstance, it’s not up to him to make any decisions, then.”Lady Acker was silent for a moment, then asked, “You must have encountered similar cases, right? In the cases you handled, if the child’s family was killed and the child’s whereabouts are unknown, where would the child most likely be, in the end?”Merlin thought for a moment and said truthfully, “Aunt Holly, to be honest, I’ve handed many such similar cases. Most of the surviving children would contact their other relatives, such as their grandparents, uncles, or aunts after hiding for a period of time. They

The private jet that was modified from a Boeing 748 took off from JFK Airport at 9:00 PM local time in New York and headed to Aurous Hill, Oskia, which was ten thousand kilometers away. After a twelve-hour flight, the Ackers’ plane landed smoothly at Aurous Airport at 9:00 PM local time. The staff who had arrived in Aurous Hill in advance arranged a convoy to pick the elderly couple, Christian, Merlin, and the others back to Willow Manor.It was already late at night when the convoy arrived at Willow Manor. Willow Manor was particularly peaceful and comfortable, and the Ackers’ butler took the four of them directly to the villa in the center. The four of them were somewhat exhausted after travelling for more than ten hours. Therefore, they went back to their rooms to rest after the rooms were assigned. The villas in Willow Manor were very large in size with three levels above ground and a basement with a usable area of at least eight to nine hundred square meters. As the area

No one could imagine that after so many years with so many people searching the ground in Aurous Hill, Charlie would still be in this city. Twenty years later, Charlie’s grandparents and uncle were here again. Charlie knew from Merlin and Quinn’s descriptions that his grandparents had never given up looking for him for so many years. Charlie wanted to be reunited with his grandparents and the Ackers as well so that the two elderly people would no longer worry and blame themselves for his unknown fate. However, he could only suppress this thought temporarily when he thought of how the Qing Eliminating Society was still refusing to let his grandparents and the Ackers off. Since his grandparents had already arrived in Aurous Hill and probably planned to live here for a long time, judging from their attitude, Charlie would have to live right under their noses for quite some time. Under such circumstances, it would not be easy to ensure that his identity was not revealed.However, he

Lady Acker had gotten accustomed to having to explain her husband’s condition to him when they woke up every morning before letting him know the current time and telling him what had happened recently or even yesterday’s events. This was mainly because Keith’s memory had deteriorated so severely that he could no longer remember what had happened over the past ten years. He would definitely forget what happened every day the very next day.However, based on their conversation just now, it seemed as if Keith could remember the tiring journey yesterday and the blurry scene he had seen under the moonlight when they came to Willow Manor by car. Lady Acker was truly amazed. Keith was a little surprised. He touched his forehead and asked her, “Is it very strange for me to remember what happened yesterday?”Lady Acker was filled with joy as she said, “It has been a long time since you remembered what happened the day before after waking up the next day.”With that said, Lady Acker asked

The maids had prepared a sumptuous breakfast in the huge dining room on the first floor. Christian and Merlin were extremely energetic as they sat at the dining table to devour this exquisite breakfast that was filled with a variety of dishes. The elderly couple was not the only ones who felt that they had a particularly good sleep last night, but Christian and Merlin also felt the same way.The two of them felt as if they had returned to their careless and energetic age when they were seventeen or eighteen years old. They could fall asleep immediately as soon as they lay on the bed after using up all their energy during the day.When they saw the elderly couple arriving, they quickly stood up and greeted them. Christian asked with concern, “Mom, Dad, did the two of you have a good sleep last night?”Lady Acker said excitedly, “We slept very soundly. I have good news for you. Your father actually remembers what happened yesterday!”“Is that so?!” Christian was so shocked that he

Merlin exclaimed in awe when he heard Lady Acker’s words, “Aunt Holly, that is a great idea!”After saying that, he immediately took out his cell phone, turned on the video recording function, and said, “We will take turns recording Uncle Keith. Christian, please arrange for someone to buy a few action cameras that can be worn on a person to record non-stop. When Uncle Keith rests in the evening, you can ask people to import all the materials into the computer so we can review the videos together in the morning tomorrow!”Christian was very excited as well and said without hesitation, “Okay! I’ll make the arrangements now!”Lady Acker added, “I think the environment here is indeed very good. Keith, let’s have some breakfast quickly, and I’ll take you out to the lake for a walk after that. Perhaps there will be better results!”When Merline heard this, he hurriedly said, “Aunt Holly, I have a different opinion on this point. I think you and Uncle Keith should stay in this villa inst

Lady Acker hurriedly said, “I planned to go to the place where Ashley used to live today. I had someone investigate before, and it seems that the old mansion has been bought by Sheldon Schulz’s ex-wife.”Christian frowned and asked, “Sheldon Schulz’s ex-wife?”“Yes.” Lady Acker nodded slightly. Christian looked surprised as he asked, “Why did Sheldon Schulz’s ex-wife buy the place where my sister and brother-in-law used to live?”Lady Acker sighed softly and said, “I asked someone to investigate, and it seems that Sheldon Schulz’s ex-wife was your brother-in-law’s suitor back then. She hasn’t forgotten your brother-in-law even after so many years. Some time ago, she infuriated the Schulzs because of the auction for the old mansion, and the Schulzs basically kicked her out. The matter caused a pretty huge sensation, and we heard about it in the United States as well.”Christian nodded and said, “Yes. I don’t know the specific details, but I only know that the scandal of Lord Schul

Merlin would never betray Charlie because Charlie was the one who saved his life. In addition, Merlin felt that it was not the right time for Charlie to be reunited with the Ackers. Therefore, he could only play along and come up with a fake plan as long as it did not allow the Ackers to ultimately discover clues about Charlie. His mission would be completed, then.Christian suddenly said again, “By the way, Merlin, have you ever thought about investigating the benefactor who saved your life?”Merlin was startled and said, “The whereabouts of the benefactor who saved me is unpredictable, and he has never showed his true identity to me. I don’t have any clues even if I want to find him.”Christian shook his head and said, “It’s not that there are no clues. It’s right in Aurous Hill!”Merlin deliberately asked him, “What do you mean, Christian?”Christian said seriously, “I told you about the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill that I attended in Aurous Hill. I have always wanted to f

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6609
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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6608
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
