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 couldnโt let Lady Wilson live in the villa with them!Hence, Jacob held the old lady in his arms and said coldly, โMother, please stop your sympathy-seeking act. No matter what you say, I canโt let you live in this villa!โLady Wilson chided sadly, โJacob 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?!โJacob nodded and said firmly, โMother, like it or not, this is fact. No matter what, I canโt let you stay here!โ

Charlie nodded sternly. Since they wanted to remain so stubborn and audacious, he didnโt have to give in.โGrandma, since you donโt have a place to live, how about I arrange a place for you? It includes food and housing and doesnโt cost a penny.โโShut up!โ Lady Wilson chided disdainfully, โYou want me to live in the old apartment where the four of us used to live, donโt you? No freaking way! I donโt want to live in such a shabby place! I will move into this Thompson First villa today!โCharlie said, amused, โOh no, Grandma, youโre overthinking it. We bought the old apartment and we wonโt let you stay in for free, of course.โHe immediately took out his phone and texted Isaac.โThe Wilson family has come to cause trouble at Thompson First. Call someone and lock these people up in the detention center for 2 weeks.โIsaac quickly replied, โOkay, Mr. Wade, Iโll get on it right now.โElaine was extremely annoyed by Lady Wilsonโs antiques, she tried to push her out the door with grea

Elaine hurriedly intruded, โOfficer, donโt listen to her! She kicked my husband out of her family and cut ties with him a long time ago!โThe officer looked at Elaine, then at Lady Wilson, and asked skeptically, โIs what she said true?โโOf course not!โ Lady Wilson urged, โItโs something I said in the heat of the moment!โโThe heat of the moment?!โ Jacob was provoked. โMom, you kicked me out of your house a long time ago, you kicked me and Claire out of Wilson Group, you deducted Elaine and Iโs pensions in the company, and cut ties with me! Now that youโre in a downfall, it suddenly becomes something you said in the heat of the moment?!โThe officer frowned in confusion. He asked, โWho does this villa belong to?โCharlie said, โItโs mine.โThe officer nodded and asked, โWhat is your relationship with the old lady?โCharlie shrugged indifferently. โWeโre not really related. She is my wifeโs grandmother.โThe officer turned to Lady Wilson, โMaโam, youโve 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, โHey, b*stard, is this all your doing?โCharlie grinned. โTake a wild guess.โChristopher yelled from the top of his lungs, โCharlie Wade, youโll pay for this! Iโll kill you myself!โThe leading officer scolded, โShut up.โThen, 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, โYes! Weโve finally kicked them out of here! The dead old woman is getting a dose of her own medicine!โJacob sighed in disapproval. โWatch your tongue. Itโs fine that you donโt want her to live here, but sheโs still my mother and sheโll always be.โElaine pouted contemptuously. โHuh, you can call that woman your mother all you want as long as she doesnโt live in my house!โClaire, who had been silent the whole time, sighed and sai

Elaine figured that Charlie the loser wouldnโt dare to disobey her if she asked for the money from him directly.As soon as she got the money from him, she could invite her friends for a meal at a luxurious restaurant followed by a spa and facial treatment. This was what they called the upper-class lifestyle.Charlie shook his head at her request. โMom, I canโt give you the money.โโWhy not?โ Elaine frowned, perplexed. โDad is now in charge of the household fund and expenses. If you want to use the money, youโll have to get Dadโs approval first.โโWhat do you say?!โ Elaine growled hastily, โMy words donโt count anymore, do they?โCharlie nodded. โFor anything regarding money, youโll have to go through Dad first.โโHey, donโt you dare use Jacob to overpower me! Iโm your mother-in-law and if I ask you for money, you have to give it to me, no questions asked!โCharlie smiled. โOf course, I can give you the money if Dad says okay, I can even give you all of it!โโYouโฆโ Elaine con

Elaine trotted up the stairs to the second floor and tried to open the door to Charlie and Claireโs room. She grinned triumphantly when the doorknob twisted open easily.Once she was inside the room, she began to rummage through their stuff.However, it was their first day moving into the villa. They hadnโt had the time to keep their things in the closets and there was nothing valuable laying around.Elaine searched for a long time but couldnโt find Charlieโs wallet nor bank card. Just when she was in the midst of frustration, her eyes blinked enthusiastically when she saw Charlieโs coat hanging in the closet. She hurried forward and rummaged through the pockets for a while. Finally, she found a black and gold bank card in one of the pockets.The card was filled with words from some foreign language that she couldnโt comprehend except for the fact that the card was from Citibank. She didnโt know what kind of bank card it was even after looking at the cards back and forth carefull

Mrs. Lewis sighed, โIt was my job to take you off the street and into the orphanage, but you donโt have the obligation to take care of me and pay for the expensive medical bills. Besides, I know very well how your life in the Wilson family isโฆโThen, she continued, โDonโt worry, Charlie, Iโll find a way to pay you back.โCharlie was moved. Mrs. Lewis had really treated him as her own son and cared so much about him.He said in a sincere tone, โMrs. Lewis, you donโt have to worry about the money nor pay me back either.โโNo, I canโt do that! It is a lot of money, I have to repay you!โโNo, Mrs. Lewis. Iโll always remember your kindness towards me. Itโs my duty to spend money on your treatment. If you still insist on paying me back, youโre treating me as a stranger and I might not want to see you again!โMrs. Lewis smiled warmly at his remark, but she knew that she couldnโt accept his money just like that. She would return the money to him no matter what he said.But, she said on

Elaine immediately entered the wedding anniversary of Charlie and Claire into the ATM.The screen prompted, โHello, honorable Citibank Supreme VIP member, your password is incorrect, you have one attempt left today.โโD*mn it!โ Elaine cursed. โWrong again? D*mn, I have only one chance leftโฆโShe was stomping anxiously, suddenly, a thought struck her mind. Could it be Charlieโs own birthday?She wanted to give it a try eagerly, but she suddenly realized that she didnโt know when his birthday was. She sheepishly took out her phone and called Claire.She hurriedly asked as soon as the call was answered, โClaire, when is Charlieโs birthday?โClaire asked skeptically, โMom, why do you want to know?โShe knew that her mother had always looked down upon Charlie, so she couldnโt comprehend why she wanted to know Charlieโs birthday so abruptly.Elaine said, abashed, โOh, erm, Charlie got us a villa, didnโt he? He worked hard for that, so I want to reward him with something like celebrat

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 soilโwouldn'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 saidโeven 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

In the first place, Jimmy had come to Oskia to claim a stake in Smith Group Corporate Law, ideally strong-arming Paul and Matilda into splitting the firm in two, with Jimmy taking everything in the States while Paul kept what was left.The way Jimmy saw it, Paul and Matilda were going to be permanently residing in Oskia anyway. There was no way they could manage things over in another country properly, so it was basically returning the firm to the rightful owner.Naturally, Jimmy also knew that despite bearing the Smith family name, the success of Smith Group Corporate Law was all the work of Jimmy's brother and Matilda. Jimmy's father had helped to a certain extent, but that extent of financial support wouldn't amount to an investment at all. No judge in the world would support his claim to the law firm's shares.Therefore, when he learned that Matilda was remarrying, he thought he could seize the moment to cause a scene. Nothing could be better if she and Paul decided to sacrifice

Jimmy deliberately raised his voice as he said coolly, "Oh, but I didn't want to intervene. It's you and your mother who left the States in a split second, taking with you the law firm which bears the Smith family name. Don't you think such behavior is inappropriate?"Seeing the surprised reactions of the guests, Paul promptly retorted, "The law firm uses the Smith family name, but it is my parents' legacy! They worked blood and sweat to build it from the ground up, and as their only son, I have a veto when it comes to decisions. Or did we need your permission to move to Oskia?""Where's your conscience, Paul?" Jimmy pursed his lips. "Even if you don't know how Smith Group Corporate Law was founded, is that the case for you? It would have been a joke if it weren't for my father's connections!"Hell, it's no exaggeration that it was my father who fought to expand the law firm across America, and just using the family name means you're borrowing the family's influence. The family hono

The blonde man's voice drew everyone's attention in an instant.Despite his foreign appearance, he spoke Oskian fluently and walked with a haughty gait, almost as though he was above the rest.Paul's expression turned grim the instant he saw him, and he hurried over with Charlie.Still, before Paul could speak, Charlie stopped him, frowning at the man as he said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate to come slinging personal attacks at someone else's wedding?"The man clearly didn't know Charlie, and he wasn't worried, seeing that he was young.Snorting in disdain, he asked, "You must be from the groom's family, yes? Please tell him that he doesn't deserve my sister-in-law.""It's up to the happy couple to decide that," Charlie retorted quietly. "Deserving someone is no issue as long as they both love each other."The man pursed his lips and looked pointedly around him. "Just look at how simple this wedding is. Forget picking an unassuming city like Aurous Hillโis there a single

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worryโthe wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morningโฆ Mr. Wadeโฆ"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests eitherโaside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes upโdon't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d
