Chapter 765

Author: Lord Leaf
Early the next morning.

Claire went to her office after eating breakfast.

Jacob sat in the living room, sulking and glowering. He shot a silent and disdainful glare at Elaine when she walked into the living hall.

When he thought about the two million dollars that Elaine lost in the silly mahjong game, the wrath of fury reignited inside him.

He didn’t have much money himself. The two million dollars were the savings they had accumulated over the years, including the money that he earned from reselling the antique, but now, it had all gone down the drain.

In fact, Jacob felt that he should pick up his old tricks and begin trading at Antique Street again, and thus, he asked Zachary to sell his antiques.

Elaine pasted a sheepish smile on her face when she saw Jacob, feeling guilty and sorry, but Jacob treated her as if she was invisible.

She dared not complain about it, so she turned to Charlie and chided agitatedly, “Hey, Charlie, since you have nothing to do around here, quickly

    “Oh?! A very wealthy client?” Elaine asked in surprise.“Yes, we have an appointment at noon.”“That’s awesome!” Elaine shrieked in glee and said, “Hurry and go! Make more money while you’re at it, it’s best if you can earn enough for the furniture and appliances purchase!”“Hmm, I’ll see what I can do.”In truth, Charlie already had the plan sorted out. He planned to take out two million from his card to buy the furniture and claim that it was from the feng shui job.He didn’t want his wife to live in this dilapidated house anymore. Besides, their room was only a wall’s gap from Elaine’s, they even had to share a bathroom. It was getting quite annoying and irritating now.If they moved to the villa, they would occupy one floor while Jacob and Elaine stayed on a different floor. That way, they could reduce the chances of bumping into each other and the friction along the way.Therefore, he bluffed about the feng shui job, but his plan was to go to the bank after lunch with Lord

    Before Charlie arrived at Heaven Springs, the Moore family’s statement had spread throughout Aurous Hill and even to the upper-class society in the South Region.No one would have imagined that the Moore family, the number one family in Aurous Hill, would openly challenge the Webb family, the number one family in Sudbury.It seemed that an exciting thriller was on its way.Tyler and Reuben, however, were enraged when they heard the news.What the hell was going on in Lord Moore’s mind?!It was considered a small matter when Lord Moore was angry with Donald at yesterday’s banquet. They could talk it out in private and clarify the misunderstanding in the future.However, now that the old man had openly challenged the Webb family, which meant to say that they publicly declared that they cut ties with the Webb family, in fact, they were becoming enemies!Tyler and Reuben couldn’t help but whine, “Old man, why?! Even if you want to curry favor with Charlie, there’s no need to openly

    Jasmine quickly said, “Master Wade, Grandpa has always respected you, please sit in the main seat.”Charlie hesitated for a while. Then, he nodded and said, “Okay, then. Thank you for the honor.”Then, he sat down on the main seat.Albert spoke graciously as he slowly retreated to the door, “Master Wade, Lord Moore, Miss Moore, please enjoy your lunch, I’ll see myself out!” He left the room and closed the door.Once there were only the three of them in the room, Lord Moore retrieved a golden-colored bank card from his suit pocket and presented it to Master Wade graciously. “Master Wade, thank you for the rare gift that you gave me yesterday, I am very grateful! I prepared this card for you as a little token of my affection, it has one billion dollars of balance in it. Please accept it.”Charlie glanced at the card. “Lord Moore, I have enough money. Please take the card back.”He was telling the truth. He had more than 20 billion in his account that he didn’t know how to spend.L

    After lunch, Charlie declined Jasmine’s offer to send him home. He bid farewell to her and Lord Moore at Heaven Springs’s entrance, then walked to Construction Bank that was located not far from the restaurant.When he was at the bank, he transferred 998 million from the card that Lord Moore gave him to his own account and went home with the card that only had a balance of two million dollars.At home, Jacob and Elaine had just eaten takeaway.When Charlie entered the house, Elaine barged forward like a dog welcoming her owner and asked, “Hey, Charlie, how’s the job? Did you make any money?”Charlie nodded and said flatly, “Some.”“How much is ‘some’?” Elaine blurted frantically, “Quick, take out the money now!”Charlie took out the card and said, “There’s two million in this card.”“Two million?!” Shocked, Elaine’s eyes opened so wide they almost fell out of her eye sockets!She quickly snatched the card off Charlie’s hand and blurted, thrilled, “Are you sure? You’re not bluff

    Charlie pretended not to see her vicious glare. He turned his head around and said, “Dad, use the money to buy furniture and home appliances so that we can move into the villa as soon as possible.”Alright!” Jacob carefully kept the card in his pocket and asked, “My good son-in-law, what is the password?”“I’ll text you later.”“Okay! I’ll head to the bank now to transfer the money into my card. This money must be earmarked. Remember to text me the password.”“Alright. You go ahead, I’ll text you later.”Standing at the side like an invisible person, Elaine was enraged.What did Charlie mean anyway? Why couldn’t he just say the password in front of her? Did he deliberately try to keep her out of the loop? D*mn!Indeed, Charlie wanted to keep her out of the loop. He knew how unethical she was. As she might steal the money quietly, it was better to be safe than sorry.Jacob got changed and headed out. He received the password from Charlie when he was almost at the bank. He insert

    Elaine was instantly infuriated when Jacob threatened her with divorce again, but she couldn’t vent her anger at all. She had to suppress her wrath and endure the threat.She was on the losing side because of all the money she had lost.Hence, at this moment, she had to bear with Jacob for a while and wait for a chance to settle the score with him.She sighed and said, “Dear, you’re right, the spa is really expensive. I’d better save some money for our family, then.”Seeing her soft side, Jacob was relieved and even a little proud.For so many years, he had never been able to subdue Elaine. In fact, whenever he raised different opinions against Elaine’s words, he would definitely earn a scolding from her.However, from the looks of it now, Elaine seemed to have begun to compromise with him. If she could persist with her gentle and timid side to him, that would be so awesome!However, Jacob couldn’t help being cautious. This woman had been so domineering and overbearing all her

    Elaine remembered when Jacob had changed his phone, she had asked him, in her usual bossy way, to register her fingerprints in the security setting of the phone, so that she could check it at any time. Did that man delete her fingerprints?!Elaine gritted her teeth in great dismay.D*mn it, that man had started to take precautions against her!Putting her anger aside, she tried the unlock code.Back then, not only did she register her fingerprints on his phone, but she also knew the six-digit unlock code for his phone.However, after she entered the passcode she remembered, the phone prompted that the passcode was wrong!Elaine frowned in confusion and tried again, but it was still wrong!She was burning in fury now!D*mn it, Jacob the old dog! He had deleted her fingerprints and changed his password!Did he already know that she would try to take his phone to transfer the money? Or had he become so cautious after getting the two million?This was outrageous!Infuriated, Ela

    Elaine gritted her teeth angrily because of Jacob as she opened up his mobile banking app. She was already ready to login to his mobile banking app to transfer the two million dollars that Charlie had given him over to herself.As soon as the mobile banking app asked for a login password, Elaine entered Matilda’s birthday as the password and she managed to log in immediately!At this time, Jacob had $2,027,232.15 left in his bank account.Among this was the two million dollars that Charlie had just transferred over to him and the twenty thousand dollars that Charlie had given him to treat his friends to dinner before this. Jacob still had the twenty thousand dollars because he did not spend any money that night.The remaining seven thousand dollars was Jacob’s own private savings!Elaine immediately clicked on the funds transfer option before she entered her own bank account information and she filled in $2,027,232.14 in the column for the transfer amount. She decided to leave Jac

    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

    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
