Chapter 798

Author: Lord Leaf
Christopher rubbed his forehead slightly before he said, “If they discover it, then it will all be over for us!”

As they were speaking, a young man dressed in a uniform suddenly walked into the villa with a strange device in his hand.

The device was a long pole with a circle in front of it. It looked like a mine detector commonly used in movies.

Christopher asked in surprise, “Young man, is that a mine detector?”

The young man simply smiled before he said, “No, but it is actually pretty similar. This is a metal detector. It will give out a warning should there be any metal detected underground. Since mines are also made out of metal, we can also use this to detect mines but there is a difference in the level of sensitivity.”

As soon as Christopher heard that it was a metal detector, he could not help but say, “It’s already bad enough that you come over to and seal off other people’s houses. Why do you have to bring a metal detector to check out other people’s houses?”

    As soon as the old lady passed out, Christopher rushed forward before he grabbed hold of the old woman’s collar as he shook her vigorously in anger!The old lady woke up as soon as she passed out because she was being so vigorously shaken by Christopher. As soon as she opened her eyes, Christopher reprimanded her immediately, “Didn’t you say that no one else would be able to find those antiques aside from you? Now, all of our antiques are gone! They’re all gone! How is our family going to survive and continue living now?”Lady Wilson could not help but feel a sharp pain in her heart. She could not stop crying out loud. She was in deep grief and she kept wailing as she said, “I really didn’t know that things would turn out like this. If I had known that things would end up like this, I wouldn’t have hid all of my antiques at home even if it would kill me!”As she spoke, the old lady could not stop the tears from flowing down her cheeks. “It’s over. Everything is really over now! My h

    In other words, they would not only have no place to stay for the next three months, but she might even probably be sent to prison after three months…Lady Wilson cried until she was almost out of breath and she felt as though her life was already ending.After the representative from the court gave them a warning, he did not say anything else and he simply turned around, then got into his car and left immediately.The members of the Wilson family could only sit helplessly outside their villa with a pile of their tattered and broken furniture and bundles of their clothing and necessities. They could not stop the tears from flowing down their cheeks.They were completely helpless at this time.Unexpectedly, it started to drizzle at a time like this.A few security guards from the villa community rushed over to them and said, “Guys, please take your belongings with you and move out of the community of our villa as soon as possible. Please do not affect the appearance of our villa c

    At this time, at the villa at Thompson First, Elaine was lying on the deck chair on the all-glass balcony on the second floor and she was grinning from ear to ear as she stared at her cell phone.There were more than three hundred likes on her pictures right now and this has already broken her records.She could not even keep count of all the comments and after a short while, she could not even reply to all of the comments anymore.Today, Elaine finally understood what it felt like to have everyone’s attention on her.Her entire circle of friends were all staring and keeping track of her! Moreover, they did not hesitate to praise her in the comments. Therefore, Elaine really felt very relaxed and happy.At this time, some of Elaine’s closest friends started sending her some messages in their group chat: “Oh, Sister Elaine moved into the villa at Thompson First today! She will have to buy us dinner!”“Exactly!” Some of the other people started replying: “Sister Elaine, you’ve jus

    Since they had just moved into the villa today, it took them some time to clean up the villa. Therefore, they were going to have lunch later than usual today.However, Charlie was receiving very good treatment at this time. He had two beauties, Claire and Loreen, hanging around him and helping him to prepare dinner in the kitchen. Therefore, he could not help but feel that cooking had also become a pleasure today.After he was done preparing lunch, he brought the dishes out to the dining table. After that, Elaine also came down from the second floor using the elevator.She was going to ask Charlie for money but when she saw him coming out of the kitchen with the other two girls, she started to hesitate a little.She was not embarrassed to ask Charlie about the money. However, the main point was that her husband and daughter were also here and she felt that it would be inappropriate for her to ask Charlie about the money right now.At this time, she suddenly heard the doorbell ring

    As Lady Wilson was about to kneel down, Jacob panicked and hurriedly reached out to stop her.The old lady was determined to kneel down anyway. She fell straight down to the floor with her knees bent. She thought that she would admit defeat first and see if Jacob was really so stubborn and not pity her.However, Jacob shared the same thought as Elaine.Although he was on bad terms with Elaine and had even planned to separate from her, they both agreed that they couldn’t let Lady Wilson live in the villa with them!Hence, Jacob held the old lady in his arms and said coldly, “Mother, please stop your sympathy-seeking act. No matter what you say, I can’t let you live in this villa!”Lady Wilson chided sadly, “Jacob Wilson, you ungrateful b*stard! I gave birth to you, you self-centered brat! How dare you stop me from living with you after you moved into such a big villa?!”Jacob nodded and said firmly, “Mother, like it or not, this is fact. No matter what, I can’t let you stay here!”

    Charlie nodded sternly. Since they wanted to remain so stubborn and audacious, he didn’t have to give in.“Grandma, since you don’t have a place to live, how about I arrange a place for you? It includes food and housing and doesn’t cost a penny.”“Shut up!” Lady Wilson chided disdainfully, “You want me to live in the old apartment where the four of us used to live, don’t you? No freaking way! I don’t want to live in such a shabby place! I will move into this Thompson First villa today!”Charlie said, amused, “Oh no, Grandma, you’re overthinking it. We bought the old apartment and we won’t let you stay in for free, of course.”He immediately took out his phone and texted Isaac.“The Wilson family has come to cause trouble at Thompson First. Call someone and lock these people up in the detention center for 2 weeks.”Isaac quickly replied, “Okay, Mr. Wade, I’ll get on it right now.”Elaine was extremely annoyed by Lady Wilson’s antiques, she tried to push her out the door with grea

    Elaine hurriedly intruded, “Officer, don’t listen to her! She kicked my husband out of her family and cut ties with him a long time ago!”The officer looked at Elaine, then at Lady Wilson, and asked skeptically, “Is what she said true?”“Of course not!” Lady Wilson urged, “It’s something I said in the heat of the moment!”“The heat of the moment?!” Jacob was provoked. “Mom, you kicked me out of your house a long time ago, you kicked me and Claire out of Wilson Group, you deducted Elaine and I’s pensions in the company, and cut ties with me! Now that you’re in a downfall, it suddenly becomes something you said in the heat of the moment?!”The officer frowned in confusion. He asked, “Who does this villa belong to?”Charlie said, “It’s mine.”The officer nodded and asked, “What is your relationship with the old lady?”Charlie shrugged indifferently. “We’re not really related. She is my wife’s grandmother.”The officer turned to Lady Wilson, “Ma’am, you’ve come to the wrong place.

    With two officers clutching his arms, Harold glared at Charlie in hatred as he was being dragged out of the house and shouted, “Hey, b*stard, is this all your doing?”Charlie grinned. “Take a wild guess.”Christopher yelled from the top of his lungs, “Charlie Wade, you’ll pay for this! I’ll kill you myself!”The leading officer scolded, “Shut up.”Then, the group of police officers escorted all four of them into the police car and drove to the station.As Elaine watched the car drive away, she was so thrilled she jiggled around, dancing and cheering, “Yes! We’ve finally kicked them out of here! The dead old woman is getting a dose of her own medicine!”Jacob sighed in disapproval. “Watch your tongue. It’s fine that you don’t want her to live here, but she’s still my mother and she’ll always be.”Elaine pouted contemptuously. “Huh, you can call that woman your mother all you want as long as she doesn’t live in my house!”Claire, who had been silent the whole time, sighed and sai

    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
