A few minutes later, all the servants of Scarlet Pinnacle Manor returned to their rooms. Mr. Raven, who was extremely attentive, even asked Logan to order the temporary shutdown of all surveillance in the villa. After all, this concerned his young lady’s reputation, so he naturally couldn't leave any risks.Once everything was arranged, Mr. Raven called Vera to report to her. Vera then said to Charlie, “Young Master, Mr. Raven and the others have already prepared everything. Shall we go downstairs?”Charlie nodded politely and said, “Thank you, Miss Lavor.”Vera smiled sweetly and sad, “Young Master, you don’t have to be so polite with me.”After putting away the painting that was completed with the calligraphy, Charlie walked out of the top courtyard of the villa with Vera. As they reached the courtyard gate, they saw three elderly people standing respectfully side by side at the end of the long stone steps below.To Charlie’s surprise, one of them was Emmett Sandsor, a prominent

So, he spoke up and said, “Gentlemen, I still have some urgent matters to attend to today. After I resolve them, I will come to visit you again. By then, I will prepare some pills that can improve your health. I believe it will be helpful for you.”The three men were a bit stunned. They didn't know much about Charlie and they only knew that he was the miraculous benefactor mentioned by Vera. So, they didn't know what effects Charlie’s pills would have.At this moment, Vera, who was beside them, smiled and said, “Mr. Sandsor, I told you before that your opportunity lies in Aurous Hill. It seems that everything depends on Mr. Wade. Why don't you hurry and express your gratitude to Mr. Wade for saving your life?”Emmett suddenly widened his eyes with an incredulous expression. Vera then turned to the other two and said, “Mr. Raven, Mr. Carrick, Mr. Wade is giving both of you opportunities as well. What are you still waiting for?”At the same time, the three men suddenly came to their

When Charlie returned to Thompson First, Jacob was arguing with Elaine. Charlie had just walked in holding the scroll containing Marcius’ portrait when he heard Jacob complaining, “You do nothing all day long, and you do not even prepare breakfast. It’s fine if you don't want to cook, but you should at least order some food for me when you get some for yourself. You don't leave anything for me at all after you’ve eaten your fill. I'm in a hurry to go to the association. You can't let me go hungry, right?” Elaine retorted confidently, “Haven't you heard of the phrase ‘Those who don't work don't eat’? Why don't you get up early and make breakfast for me, then? You must be dreaming if you want me to cook for you. Besides, do you think that I don’t need money to order food? If you give me eighty to a hundred thousand dollars a month as pocket money, I'd definitely arrange three meals a day for you without fail!”Jacob was annoyed and said angrily, “All you care about is money!”With

Jacob had a sad and worried expression as he said to Charlie, “My dear son-in-law, my current situation is indeed a little tricky. There's a lot of gossip going around in the association. Many people say I don't have any real talent and the only reason I'm the vice president is because I have Mr. Bay’s support. Mr. Bay is also in a difficult and passive position as well.”Jacob lowered his voice and continued, “Mr. Bay had dinner with me yesterday and gave me a few subtle hints. The gist is that there are too many people coming to him for advice recently, and many of them want to impeach me. If I can't come up with something soon, it'll be difficult for me to convince everyone…”Charlie nodded and said with a smile, “This matter can be dealt with easily, Dad. I happened to be taking a look at a client’s Feng Shui today, and I noticed he had quite a few paintings at home. Since your calligraphy and painting association is planning an exhibition, I asked if he could lend me a few paint

After saying that, he quickly asked Charlie, “My dear son-in-law, can I take this painting, then?”Charlie nodded and said with a smile, “Dad, if someone asks you about this painting, just say you bought it from someone but you can’t remember the person’s appearance. As for the process of buying it, you can use your imagination freely to exaggerate and brag about it as much as you want. It’s fine as long as you don’t deviate from the main idea.”Jacob asked in surprise, “My dear son-in-law, wouldn't it be better if I simply said it was a gift from a friend or that it was from my own collection?”Charlie replied earnestly, “Dad, other people might not recognize this painting, but my client would. If he finds out that you're bragging about someone else's painting, he might blame me. If you do it my way, he will know we're protecting his privacy rather than trying to brag about ourselves, and he will feel better as well.”Jacob sighed reluctantly and said, “Okay, then. I’ll do as you

As the Boeing 777 carrying the three elders was still flying over the ocean, Jacob, who was extremely excited, carried the portrait given to him by Charlie and drove the Rolls-Royce Cullinan gifted by Kathleen to the entrance of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.At this moment, Jacob’s face was filled with confidence, almost as if he had just won a crucial battle and was waiting to show off in front of the other troops.Jacob was somewhat unpopular at the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Most of the people here were literati and scholars. Although some of them lacked true talent and were merely here for the sake of elegance, at least they knew what it meant to be subservient.Since they had no professional skills, they came here to provide more space for the professionals to show off. This was called being subservient.If one had no professional skills and came here to be the second-in-command and not only pretended to be superior all the time even though one had no sk

A large group of people were incited and began mocking Jacob.Jacob said coldly, “You people really don't know what you're talking about. How could I not have any fine artwork? It's just that some of the artworks are too exquisite and it’s not convenient for me to take it out!”At this moment, Jacob had already imagined himself as the client mentioned by Charlie.When the others heard Jacob boasting, they sneered disdainfully and did not take him seriously at all. Jacob did not say much and placed the cylinder containing the painting directly on the large desk used for display and appraisal in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and he said, “Here, I’ll let you see a piece of ancient painting that I picked up today!” “Pfft…” The disdain on the faces of everyone present was even more apparent. Calligraphy and painting were not easy to preserve, and the paper used for traditional Oskian painting, although diverse, was almost never as tough as Western canvases. It could be

After all, Madam Jenson’s ancestor lived to be a hundred and thirteen years old, which was almost unheard of among ancient people. Moreover, Madam Jenson’s ancestor himself didn't understand cultivation. Instead, he spent most of his time practicing painting. He surpassed the vast majority of painters by a long shot just in terms of his skill alone.Furthermore, for the latter half of his life, Madam Jenson’s ancestor had been waiting for Marcius to return. He painted portrait after portrait of Marcius for decades, reaching a level of mastery that no one else could match. This particular painting was his favorite. He had practiced the brushwork thousands of times without making a single mistake, achieving absolute perfection.Another person approached and carefully examined the details of the painting with a magnifying glass, before he exclaimed excitedly, “This painting… This painting is indeed an ancient silk painting! You can tell it's an old item just from its texture at first

Ares LLP was the biggest law firm in the States, and only the best of the best were recruited as associates.If Jimmy got to pick ten of their partners, he was basically taking a huge chunk out of their human resources.Moreover, the partners' salaries would be very expensive. With Jimmy included, eleven of them meant over a hundred million US dollars at minimum. Ares would definitely be maimed if they had to pay that much money while losing ten of their elites! Naturally, Jimmy didn't feel confident about achieving that, and he asked Charlie, "Mr. Wade… Don't you think it's too much? Would Nate even agree to that?"Charlie shrugged. "Of course he won't agree if you're the one asking, but he would definitely say yes if it were Julien."Julien almost rolled his eyes.The man was truly ruthless, ready to inflict so much damage at the drop of a hat.Worst of all, he was going to play the villain for Charlie.Still, he said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade! I will pressure him

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
