Charlie nodded slightly.After that, his father-in-law went and smoked his cigarette. So, Charlie sat in his car as he answered the phone call.After the phone call was connected, Isaac hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, I heard that you had a conflict with the bodyguards from the Webb family?”Charlie nodded slightly before he said, “Your information is really quite timely!”Isaac hurriedly replied, “Mr. Wade, I heard that these five people were causing a scene and making trouble at Shangri-La. I only found out about this matter after sending someone to investigate and check it out.”After that, Isaac quickly explained what had happened when Johnny and the other bodyguards had arrived at Shangri-La.After listening to Isaac’s words, Charlie replied coldly, “Those five dogs. I never expected them not to learn their lesson at all. I thought that they would have learned their lesson and tried to be more low-key in the future. However, I really did not expect them to use their legs to cause
Even though Donald was a billionaire, he was not a generous person.In other words, in his eyes, he should not waste or spend any more money that should not be spent.This was exactly what he felt as he looked at Johnny and the other four men.The five of them had already broken their arms and could not even open the f*cking car door on their own anymore. What was he going to do if he continued keeping them by his side?Their salaries were ridiculously high. If he continued to retain them, he would only be doing charity if he fed them until they were old.Therefore, Donald felt that he should drive them as far away as he could, as soon as he possibly could.The farther they went, the better it would be for him.In truth, Donald did not even want to pay them the five hundred thousand dollars severance pay at all.Therefore, he could not help but feel as though he was already being very generous toward them.However, Johnny and the other bodyguards did not feel the same way!Th
Donald yelled out in pain as he fell to the ground. He could not help but feel panic in his heart.Sean who was standing next to him subconsciously yelled, “Hey! Who gave you the right to hit my father?”Isaac strode toward Sean before punching him directly in his nose. After Sean’s face was covered in blood, Isaac yelled, “Even your father has to be respectful and polite to me. Who do you think you are? You actually dare to talk to me in this manner?! Are you that tired of living? Do you believe that I can take your life right now?”“You are really asking to die!” Sean had already lived so long, and he had never been reprimanded or beaten up before. However, he had already been beaten up twice today.First, Charlie had broken one of his wrists. Now, Isaac actually had also broken his nose with a single punch.He had been a spoiled and arrogant brat ever since he was a child. That being said, how could he possibly tolerate this?Sean roared angrily, “Do you think you are that gre
Donald was very furious and he glared at the five men who were kneeling on the ground before he asked coldly, “Which one of you did it? Or did the five of you do it together?”Johnny was instantly frightened when he saw the killing intent in Donald’s eyes. He hurriedly said, “Mr. Webb, you cannot blame us for this matter! We already tried to explain to the lobby manager and the security guards that we were working for the Webb family. However, they insisted that we were all dressed inappropriately and said that we were not allowed to enter Shangri-La. I was simply very anxious to come up to report the matter to you. That is the reason why we clashed with the security guards and broke into the hotel…”Donald was extremely angry when he heard Johnny’s explanation. He gave him a tight slap across his face as he said, “You are really a bunch of good-for-nothing! Do you think that the Shangri-La hotel is a place that you can break into any time you want?! You keep telling me that you were
After he was done speaking, Donald hurriedly said, “Mr. Cameron, how do you want to resolve this matter? As long as you have a solution to this matter, I will definitely do everything according to your instructions!”Isaac had a very cold expression on his face as he glared at Donald. Isaac could not help but feel that this second generation heir of the Webb family was truly very flexible and willing to give and take. It seemed as though he had a high need to survive.However, since he had provoked the young master of the Wade family, it was impossible for him to come out of this matter unscathed!If it were not for the young master’s command, Isaac would have taken their lives already!Isaac snorted coldly before he said, “I am sorry but I cannot accept your apology! I don’t think that the Wade family will accept your apology either!”Donald held back his anger before he asked in a low voice, “Mr. Cameron, how would you propose that we resolve this matter, then?”Isaac replied c
Before Donald could even figure out the meaning behind Isaac’s words, Isaac’s men had already made their move. Isaac’s subordinates were also all very reputable and incredible fighters. They might not be as strong or powerful in comparison to Johnny.However, Johnny was already half-dead at the moment. He could still deal with any ordinary man, but he would not be able to fight a person who was skilled in fighting.Therefore, Johnny had no opportunity to resist or fight back when he was faced with Isaac’s subordinates.Charlie had already planned his destiny in advance!Johnny could not help but feel extremely helpless and desperate at this point.He would never have dreamt that he would end up in this state!If his legs were really broken, wouldn’t he be a completely useless person in this life?When that time came, he would just be a useless person with broken arms and legs. He would simply have to lay in bed, unable to move, and he would not even be capable of taking care o
Isaac smiled playfully as he said, “You want to know who gave me the courage to do this? Sorry, but this authority was given to me by the young master of the Wade family!” If it was under any normal circumstances, as the spokesperson of the Wade family, Isaac naturally would not dare to directly get into a conflict and confrontation with the Webb family using the Wade family name. How would he have the courage to break the leg of the father and son from the Webb family?However, this decision today was not made by himself, but was an order that had been given directly by his young master!If the young master of the Wade family had said that he wanted the father and son dead, Isaac would do it immediately without any hesitation whatsoever. Besides, the Wade family would definitely back him up and give him all the support and protection he needed!Thus, Isaac had no qualms about his actions at all.Donald and his son were completely stunned!The young master of the Wade family wan
Donald was on the verge of collapse!He knew that he was entirely powerless now! After coming to Aurous Hill, he was not able to uncover the identity of the culprit who had harmed his second son. Instead, both he and his eldest son had lost one of their legs each…Right then, Isaac’s men walked up to Donald and grabbed hold of his right leg, hitting his kneecap directly… Donald felt an extremely sharp pain in his right knee, and he felt as though he was about to pass out from the pain.Donald ground his teeth to stop himself from screaming out loud in pain. However, he could only endure the severe and excruciating pain for less than ten seconds before he let out a loud and horrifying cry!Isaac glared coldly at Donald before he snorted in disdain. “Who do you think the Webb family is? You actually have the audacity to act rashly on the Wade family’s territory? This is just a small punishment to teach you a lesson today! If you dare to offend the Wade family again in the future, t
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
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
If Charlie really did get Jimmy to stay, who knew what other rubbish Jimmy would spout.As for Jimmy, he was actually surprised Charlie was asking him to stay, and his instincts told him that Charlie definitely didn't mean well.Not only that, he was on foreign soil—wouldn't he be defenseless if Charlie called in his friends to beat him up?Hence, he shook his head without hesitation as he said, "I'm sorry, but my sister-in-law is quite keen for me to leave, so I have no reason to stay and add to her problems. And it is her big day. I can afford to let her save face instead of spilling the beans on her all at once.""Oh, but you were complaining about the lack of important people just now!" Charlie quickly interjected. "It just so happens that we have a big-shot on his way here, and he's a good friend of the groom. When I told him about you over the phone, he said to keep you here no matter what it took, since he would like to talk to you face to face."Jimmy frowned. "What, are y
And with those words, Jimmy turned to leave.Despite threatening Matilda, there was no such agreement, and he knew that Matilda was well aware of that.Regardless, the only strategy he had in mind when he came to Oskia was harassment. As such, he simply came up with a lie to make Matilda look bad in public. All it took from there was just for one person to relay what he had said—even if it were all lies, Matilda's character would still be called into question.He made himself very clear so that Matilda would understand that if she didn't give in, his family would keep hounding her to take their two pounds of flesh. Even if she wouldn't surrender the stateside estates and human resources of Smith Group Corporate Law, they would still claim a sizable chunk.But if that failed too, they would just have to destroy Matilda's reputation along with Smith Group Corporate Law.Either way, they were not letting her off easy!And reading that much from Jimmy's behavior, Matilda snapped co
Jimmy didn't expect Matilda to break down the share ownership of Smith Group Corporate Law to such detail, and he hollered as he was starting to feel embarrassed, "Now, you're just being irresponsible, Matilda. My father gave my brother a million to start the law firm in the first place, and they had agreed that the family would have a stake, albeit only at 49%, to not deny your decision-making as a startup. Or are you denying it?"Matilda immediately became furious and snapped, "Bullshit! That was just a loan of one million, and the agreed term was three years. However, your brother returned it in one! I even asked him to return the money with every single one of his siblings watching, since you might all get skeptical, yet suddenly, you're calling it an investment?""You said he's returned it? Well, what proof do you have?" Jimmy quickly shot back. "Our entire family can testify that the money hasn't come back to us!""So, this is how you're going to play it?" Matilda smirked. "Th
