Chapter 557

Author: Lord Leaf
Jacob was intimidated by Elaine’s loud growl, but he spruced himself up and said, “A straight foot has no fear of a crooked shoe!”

Elaine glared at him and uttered, “Ah, I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Okay, I’m going out to play mahjong.”

She then stood up and stretched out her hand at Jacob saying, “Give me your car key!”

“What? Why would you need a car for your mahjong game? I want to use it later!”

Elaine rolled her eyes and said contemptuously, “Why? Do you want to show off to your friends? No way! Give me the car key, quick!”

Jacob sighed dejectedly and passed her the car key as he said, “Drive carefully, don’t scratch it.”

“Argh, shut up! If you provoke me again, I’ll drive your car down the drain!”

Jacob was extremely agitated, but Elaine felt as though she had gotten her revenge. She put on her jacket, a triumphant smile on her face, and walked out the door.

After Elaine left, Jacob sighed again and said, “Charlie, go with me to the reunion later. Some of my frien

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6651

    "That position… was removed?!"Kenny's heart thumped loudly at those words, and he promptly pressed, "Please, chief! We're talking about an entire ministry handling the entire province's cultural development! Yet you're saying a position just went poof?!"The man on the other side sighed. "Actually, it's precisely because it's so big that it needs to be streamlined. There's nothing I can do about that."Clearly reluctant to discuss the issue further, he then added. "I'm really sorry about this, but there's no need to rush, really. Just stay in the Calligraphy and Painting Association for a while, and I'll tell you right away should new opportunities arise."Kenny was naturally shrewd enough to read between the lines, and though despondent, he still replied politely, "Yes, sir. Thank you for telling me this—and do keep me in the loop if there are any developments.""Not a problem," the man on the other side agreed right away. "Oh, I have to hang up now. Let's catch up again sometim

    Charlie chuckled as he asked, "So, you're still keen for a return to the Calligraphy and Painting Association?""Yes! Why not?!" Jacob huffed before he knew it. "I've been thinking about it over the last few days, but I've made up my mind. It's like they say—why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up! I've already been thoroughly humiliated, so at this point, nothing can hurt me."Charlie nodded. "I'll try asking.""Well, you have to be quick, like I said," Jacob promptly told him. "Don't wait until he gets promoted…""Promoted?" Charlie chuckled. "I don't think that's going to happen with his character. Who knows, he might stay in the Calligraphy and Painting Association forever."Jacob was naturally unaware that Charlie had already tasked Don Albert with calling in a few favors from Isaac Cameron's old connections to snuff out any chance Kenny Bay had for a promotion.He wanted to dump Jacob and rise above on his own? Charlie would tie him to the Calligraphy and

    Nate and the rest of Ares LLP didn't stay in Aurous Hill for too long since they were done with business on the first day.As such, they put aside all their differences and enjoyed their trip in Aurous Hill for the next three days, with Julien hosting a banquet at Heaven Springs in their honor.On that occasion, Julien dispensed with his poise as the Rothschilds' heir apparent and the aristocratic demeanor refined over decades. He was no different from a respected local head honcho, drinking to the honor of these subordinates, who were immediately shocked yet worshipful.As Julien was a VIP, Don Albert also put aside his work and came to Heaven Springs as well, seeing reflections of himself in the Rothschilds' heir apparent just then.It had been a while since Julien had come to Aurous Hill, and having observed Charlie's business management philosophy as well as how Albert ran things around Aurous Hill, he was starting to adopt local customs too.While Julien did extend an enthusi

    Nate was actually surprised that Julien was so meticulous with the details, and he quickly said, "There's nothing to worry about, Mr. Rothschild! I will sort out everything once we return to the States, and they will be here on time to report for work." Julien nodded. "They can report to Jimmy. He will be their representative.""No problem!" Nate replied without hesitation. "It will be done!"Satisfied with his attitude, Julien smiled, "I'll be staying in Aurous Hill for a while. When I'm done, why don't you join me for dinner when I return stateside? If you can make it, of course.""I-I'll definitely make it!" Nate exclaimed right then, endlessly thrilled. "I'll be on standby 24/7, sir!""Good. It's a date," Julien nodded and turned toward the others. "That's all for today. Do cooperate with Nate when you get back and finalize the transition—try not to increase their list of losses. Everyone here is an adult, so as long as we find a balance point, I'm sure we can all put everyth

    After meeting Charlie a few times, Julien had come to learn his way of manipulation, knowing when to back off or advance, or when he should disguise those moves as bluffs.His offer to pick up the tab for the partners' wages was a standard strategic retreat—a gesture of feigned sincerity, but Nate was absolutely sincere in contrast.If anything, Nate was thrilled for no other reason than the great Mr. Rothschild being so kind and defending him, which already left him astounded.Moreover, Julien knew how to inspire even if not well-versed in Oskian norms. In fact, no one did it better than the Rothschilds, motivating even presidents, let alone Nate Ellis.And Julien knew that Nate's ambition wasn't confined to maintaining the status of Ares LLP as the best law firm in the States. Every legal associate's ultimate dream was politics, starting from mayoral candidate to senator, rising perhaps to the Oval Office. The transition would definitely be easy if one started out on a legal ca

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6646

    Julien paused and glanced at Charlie before he knew it, "There's no truth that stays hidden. It's only natural that others will use your dirty laundry against you, and don't forget—it's not just moral corruption you're guilty of, it's the violation of the law."Everyone sulked at that—if Julien had said that much, it was clear that he was not on their side.However, that was when Julien turned toward Nate, "Naturally, as the head of Ares LLC, it was really dishonorable that you'd do such a thing to maintain control over your employees. Try not to do that in the future."Nate was actually surprised that Julien was clearly on his side, labeling the partners' actions as moral corruption and violation of the law.Thrilled, he nodded respectfully at Julien, "Yes, Mr. Rothschild! I definitely won't do such unseemly things from now on!""Good," Julien nodded, seeing that he was utterly earnest. "I personally admire you, Nate—if you just set your sights higher and not leave leverages that
