Jacob nodded slightly as he thought about their previous class reunion. During that gathering, many of their old classmates had teased Jacob about his previous love triangle with Matilda and Elaine.At this time, Jacob told Matilda seriously, “Matilda, some of our old classmates will definitely tease us about the incident that happened back then during our class reunion today. I hope that you won’t take it too seriously and you shouldn’t take what they say to heart. They are just a bunch of rude and old people!”Matilda smiled slightly before she said, “I don’t mind if they joke around, as long as they aren’t distorting the facts. If I was really afraid that they would ridicule me, then I wouldn’t have arranged for this class reunion today! All of our old classmates have not seen me for more than twenty years now! What is the point of teasing me now?”***When they arrived at the National Bell Height University, Jacob parked his car at the parking lot near the entrance of the schoo

Jacob had deliberately mentioned the forest because he wanted to see Matilda’s blushing face.Even if she was a very calm and composed person, she would still be embarrassed when she recalled their presumptuous youth and the sweet and ambiguous past that the both of them shared.Jacob felt that he would have to make Matilda think more about the past. If he constantly reminded her of the past that made her heart feel a little turbulent, then he would definitely be able to evoke the fire in her heart that has already been waiting for more than twenty years for him.Matilda naturally understood Jacob’s intention. Therefore, she quickly changed the topic out of embarrassment. At this time, she blurted out, “By the way, how is our former head teacher doing?”Jacob replied, “He is doing pretty well but it isn’t convenient for him to move around on his legs now. During our last class reunion, we had specially invited him back to our alma mater just so that he could give us a lecture in th

Jacob had already had a conditioned reflex to grab red envelopes. Therefore, he subconsciously clicked on the red envelope and he was surprised to discover that he had actually received two hundred dollars from the red envelope!At this time, Jacob also found out that his other classmates had also received two hundred dollars each.It seemed as though this person was giving everyone two hundred dollars each!Jacob was initially when he realized that he suddenly had an extra two hundred dollars! However when he saw that the other party’s nickname was ‘I miss the beautiful Matilda’, the expression on Jacob’s face darkened immediately!At this time, all of the classmates in the group were already exploding in excitement.“Oh my. Thank you, boss!”“Yes! Thank you so much, Mr. Pearson! You’re really very generous to give everyone a two-hundred-dollar red envelope just like that! You’re really one of a kind.”“I’ve already heard that Mr. Pearson has been making a lot of money over the

“William Pearson?!”Jacob turned into a green-eyed monster upon the mention of that name.William Pearson was from a wealthy family and was the head of the student council’s public relations back in college.Back then, he and Aaron Philips were Matilda’s suitors. However, she had no interest in him or Aaron, so his effort of winning Matilda’s heart was to no avail.When Jacob and Matilda were dating, William had always tried to get on Jacob’s nerves in order to impress Matilda.Later, William saw his chance when Matilda broke up with Jacob. He stepped on the accelerator and launched an overwhelming pursuit of her then, but she did not accept him and went to the States instead.William’s family was very wealthy and powerful at that time. Before he went to college, his father had already expanded his business to Hong Kong. Their family could be considered the first influential tycoon following Oskia’s economic reform.Due to his solid family background, he had gone after Matilda t

William immediately replied in the group, “Oh, my wife passed away a long time ago, I guess Matilda and I share the same fate…”One of the nosy friends said, “Hey, you and Matilda are a match made in heaven as always!”Some of the people who accepted William’s gift of money joined in the bandwagon. Someone even said, “Hey, William, now that you and Matilda are widowed, you guys should be together! I remember how you fell head over heels in love with her. Come on, go for it! We send you our sincere blessings!”William laughed out loud and said, “Then I would like to express my gratitude to your support and blessings, but it’s all up to Matilda, I can’t force her.”Then, he continued, “Besides, I’ve decided to return to Aurous Hill and start my business venture here regardless.”“What? Why?” Someone in the group exclaimed, “William, haven’t your family settled down in Hong Kong for many years already? Why have you suddenly decided to return to Aurous Hill?”“Look at Matilda, she ha

Jacob’s eyes widened in shock when he read William’s message.William was right. Jacob was indeed afraid that William would become his rival in love, but of course, he couldn’t say such things in public. He was still a married man, after all.Hence, he said against his real intention, “No, I’m just worried that you find it hard to blend in here after spending years in Hong Kong. We aren’t getting any younger and our bodies are aging too, it will take a toll on your health if we rashly shift to an unfamiliar place that your body hasn’t gotten used to.”William giggled in amusement and said, “Oh, I’m perfectly healthy, don’t you worry about me!”Jacob couldn’t be bothered with the teasing anymore. He put his phone in his pocket and said, “Matilda, let’s go inside and take a walk around.”Matilda nodded and strolled around the campus with him.At 10 am, Matilda checked her watch and said, “Hey, the reunion is at 11, I think we’d better get going now.”Jacob nodded and smiled. “Al

William had been waiting for Matilda since he arrived at the club. His eyes were glued on her now that she was here.He was shocked to see that Matilda was still as beautiful, flawless, and charming at the age of 50! He was even more certain that he would put all effort into pursuing her!However, never did he expect that the beautiful Matilda, who he had been missing for the past two decades, would walk in with Jacob, the scumbag who broke her heart.He was agitated by their appearance together and stood up angrily. “Jacob Wilson! How dare you come here with Matilda?! You may not remember what you did to Matilda, but we all do! If not for you, scumbag, she wouldn’t have flown to the US and lived there for so many years! You should be ashamed of yourself! If I were you, I wouldn’t have the courage to come at all!”Jacob was infuriated by his insult that he growled, “Hey, William Pearson, watch your tongue! People with common sense would know what happened back then, I’m innocent!”

Sensing that his mother didn’t want others to know his middle name, Paul smiled politely and said, “Everyone, please enjoy your gathering. Excuse me.”Jacob hurriedly said, “Hey, Paul, what’s the hurry? How about joining us for lunch?”He intentionally talked to Paul as a hint for the rest to realize that he and Paul knew each other so they could assume that he had already met Matilda before the reunion.It was also to suggest to them that both of them shared an extraordinary connection and to chase away Matilda’s suitors.Indeed, when the others heard their conversation, they found it rather odd and peculiar. They wondered how and when Jacob and Paul had become so close.Paul smiled and said, “Thanks, but no thanks, I have a meeting in the afternoon.”Then, he said to Jacob in a moderate voice, “I have an appointment with Charlie. He’s coming to my new office to check out the Feng Shui there, so I have to be there to entertain him.”Jacob nodded with a smile. “My son-in-law has

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
