However, Albert did not care about seeing Cain face to face. When he saw the murderous expression on Cain’s face, Albert simply glared coldly at Cain as he deliberately raised his hand to touch his forehead.Cain trembled in rage when he saw Albert touching his forehead.However, he could only shake in anger as he did not dare to yell at Albert or take any actions against him whatsoever.After all, Cain knew that Albert was much stronger compared to him. Moreover, Donald himself had also said that he was still under probation as he was not even qualified to even become the Webb family’s dog.Cain felt extremely uncomfortable as he thought about this.What kind of world was this? Why did he have to be on probation and go under a d*mned trial period just to become someone else’s dog?However, he would endure the probationary period if he had to. As long as he passed this probation, things would definitely turn out well for him in the end. When that time came, he would have the stre
When they were faced with Donald’s sudden question, Zeke smiled faintly before he said, “Mr. Webb, it is true that the three of us have already pledged our loyalty to someone else. Therefore, it would be very difficult for us to pledge our allegiance to the Webb family instead. We hope that you will understand our difficulties and forgive us…”Graham touched his nose slightly before he said, “Mr. White’s intentions are my intentions too.”Donald looked at Albert before he asked, “What about you, Don Albert?”Albert smiled before he said, “I am just a nobody amongst the upper class, simply a mobster boss. However, the thing that I pay utmost attention to is the word ‘loyalty’. The person that I have pledged my allegiance and loyalty to is treating me very well, thus, I will not turn my back on him and depend on someone else instead.”Donald could not help but frown at this time. He did not expect the three of them to have such a determined attitude.He really could not understand w
Donald replied indifferently, “I am not asking you to help me deal with the Moore family. My son has recently fallen in love with Jasmine, and he would like to marry Jasmine from the Moore family. However, I heard that Jasmine seems to be in love with someone else. Therefore, I would really appreciate it if you could help me to find out the identity of the man Jasmine is in love with. If you can help me find this young man, I will definitely offer you a great reward!”Zeke and the others immediately exchanged glances with one another again.If Donald was saying that Jasmine already had someone she was interested in, they believed that this person would be none other than Mr. Wade himself…However, it was naturally impossible for them to tell Donald about Charlie or to even mention his name to him.At this time, Cain asked diligently, “Mr. Webb, do you want me to kill this person as soon as I find him?”Donald waved his hand as he said, “I do not need your help with anything else i
When Donald learned that Anthony was in Aurous Hill, he became very excited.He had already heard about Anthony’s superb medical skills ever since a long time ago. Since Anthony could even cure the supposedly incurable high paraplegia, it would surely not be impossible for him to cure the strange disease and illness that his second son, Kian, has recently contracted!As he thought about this, he was in a very good mood. After that, he turned around to look at Sean before he said, “Prepare a generous gift! We will go to the Serene World Clinic to see Dr. Anthony early tomorrow morning!”Sean simply nodded as he said, “Okay, dad. I will make all the necessary preparations.”“Okay,” Donald replied as a rare smile appeared on his face. He was very relaxed and much more relieved when he said, “I think that it would be best if we could solve all these problems at once. First, we can find a cure for your younger brother and find the culprit who did this to your younger brother! After that
Albert could not help but feel a little worried when he thought about this. He could tell that Donald truly hated the person who had had a run-in with Kian. Moreover, it was also obvious that he was very extremely angry and frustrated with the man that Jasmine was in love with.If these two things pointed to two different people, both of them would undoubtedly face a fate worse than death. At the very least, in Donald’s eyes, both of these targets would have to be killed.If these two things pointed toward the same person, Albert believed that the Webb family would definitely do everything in their ability to kill and destroy this person.Therefore, he could not help but feel a little worried about Charlie.Even though he knew that Charlie was very strong and capable, he was still worried that Charlie would be facing a lot of trouble when he faced a powerful and influential family such as the Webb family.After the dinner, everyone walked Donald and his son, Sean, to the ground
Aurora was sweating profusely and panting from exhaustion at this time.She had already completed several sets of exercises that she had planned for herself. After she was done with her exercises, she carefully observed herself in the huge mirror in front of her.In fact, Aurora had a very good figure.Since she was frequently exercising, her figure was very fit and muscular, and she had a better body line and shape compared to any ordinary girl.At this time, Aurora was wearing a very tight-fitting shirt and a pair of yoga pants that were hugging her waist, hips, and legs as she tied her hair up in a neat ponytail. She looked extremely hot!As she was admiring her figure in the mirror, all that was running through her mind was Charlie.As she thought about Charlie, she suddenly felt very embarrassed and started blushing immediately.Her father had always asked her to look for ways to get closer to Charlie. However, Charlie was always very mysterious with his whereabouts, and it
”Sigh!” Graham could not help but sigh out loud. After that, he said, “You’ve caused quite some harm to Mr. Wade this time! Now, the Webb family is here to look for him! Donald is gathering all the heads of the powerful and prestigious families in Aurous Hill to help him find out more information about Mr. Wade!”“What?!” Aurora started panicking, and she blurted out immediately, “Dad, will the Webb family try to find fault with Mr. Wade?”Graham replied, “The Webb family is after Mr. Wade’s life!”Aurora cried out anxiously, and she hurriedly said, “Dad, this incident happened all because of me. Can you tell the Webb family that the reason why Kian turned out this way was because of me?! I do not want Mr. Wade to get involved and dragged into this matter because of me…”“Are you honestly that stupid?!” Graham could not help but sigh as he said, “Do you think that the Webb family are really such reasonable people? Since Kian contracted this sudden illness because of Mr. Wade, do yo
Charlie had just eaten his dinner and was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen at this time. When he received the phone call from Graham, he quickly answered the call before he asked, “Mr. Quinton, why are you looking for me?”Graham hurriedly replied, “Mr. Wade, there is something I have to report to you after discussing this matter with Mr. White and Don Albert.”Charlie smiled indifferently before he said, “If there is anything you need to tell me, you can just speak to me directly. You don’t have to be so polite toward me.”Graham quickly replied, “Okay, Mr. Wade. I will just say it, then. Today, Donald from the Webb family in Sudbury hosted a banquet dinner at The Heaven Springs. He invited some of the heads of the most wealthy and powerful families in Aurous Hill including Mr. White, Don Albert, and myself to attend the banquet dinner tonight. Then, he asked us for some help to deal with some matters, and we felt that something was not right. Therefore, we decided to report t
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
