Max waved his hand before he said, “Yes, of course! Why not? Just serve us the dish!”After he was done speaking, Max continued saying, “Oh, by the way, please bring us two bottles of Ace of Spades champagne!”The waiter replied, “Sir, a bottle of Ace of Spades champagne is $18,888.00. It is also non-refundable once the bottle of champagne is opened. Is that okay?”Max replied immediately, “Yes! Hurry up and serve it as soon as possible!”When they heard that he had just ordered two bottles of champagne which cost $18,888.00 each, all of them could no longer sit still.After doing the calculation, this meal had already cost more than sixty thousand dollars. Even if they would only have to pay for half of the bill for dinner tonight, wouldn’t they still have to pay thirty thousand dollars then?Even if they were to split the bill equally among the rest of them, each of them would still have to pay two thousand dollars each!Harvey was a little embarrassed as he said, “Max, we don
As soon as Max heard Charlie’s words, he smiled before he said sarcastically, “Oh, Charlie you’re really good at bragging!”Charlie smiled faintly before he said, “What is there to brag about? If you don’t believe me, then we can both just pay one hundred thousand dollars in advance so we can spend two hundred thousand dollars for the dinner tonight. What do you think?”After Max heard Charlie’s words, he said excitedly, “Is this true?”Charlie took out his cell phone before he opened his mobile banking app as he told the waiter, “Come and scan the QR code for payment first.”When Max saw this, he really wanted to jump up in excitement!He was originally planning to spend more money on the dinner tonight. After that, he would be able to claim more money when he was trying to claim reimbursement from his boss. However, his group of friends from the orphanage were really very pathetic. They kept making noise as he was ordering the dishes and they were really being very annoying.Ho
He has never smelled or drank any champagne that cost nearly twenty thousand dollars a bottle. Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to drink as much as he could.At this time, Max’s lackey, Scott was eating the roast suckling pig as he said in a flat tone, “Why do I feel as though I have become Daryl Wayne’s good brother in The Richest Man in Zion? I feel as though this scene is really similar to the scene in the movie when they were eating and drinking in the restaurant!”As soon as he said this, everyone immediately agreed. They nodded and laughed before they said, “Yes, you’re right! This is really similar to that scene!”Scott smiled before he said, “This is all thanks to Brother Max! Thank you, Brother Max!”Stephanie said indignantly, “Why are you only thanking Max? Brother Charlie is also paying half the bill for tonight’s dinner, okay?”Scott replied disdainfully, “I’m eating the half that Brother Max has paid for while you’re eating the half tha
As everyone was enjoying their meal that was worth two hundred thousand dollars, Charlie walked up to the front desk before he said to the waiter, “Hello, I am a guest from Table 03 in the lobby. Please give me a receipt for my table.”The waiter hurriedly asked in a respectful manner, “Hello, sir. May I ask whether you’re referring to the table that has just spent two hundred thousand dollars tonight?”“Yes!” Charlie nodded immediately.The waiter asked again, “Would you like me to issue the receipt under a company or a personal name?”Charlie replied, “A personal name.”“Okay, sir. Could you please give me your name?”Charlie nodded slightly before he said, “Charlie Wade.”The waiter hurriedly typed on the computer before he started printing the receipt out from the printer.There was the sound of the printer at work before a receipt with Charlie’s name and the amount of two hundred thousand dollars was printed out.As soon as Charlie received the receipt, he checked the acc
Joey replied immediately, “Brother Max, I had already checked out the online platform just now. They requested for me to upload the front and back of my identity card on the online platform but I left my identity card back in my dormitory. Don’t worry. The first thing I’m going to do as soon as I get back to my dormitory is to upload my identity card information as soon as possible so I can get the loan as soon as possible!”“Okay.” Max nodded as he was relieving himself. After that, he said, “You have to do this as soon as possible. Do not miss out on such a good opportunity such as this. In fact, I can teach you another method to make even more money.”As soon as Joey heard this, he trembled in excitement and he accidentally peed on his own hand. However, he did not care too much about it. Instead, he hurriedly wiped his hand on his trousers before he turned around and asked Max, “Brother Max, what’s the method that you’re talking about? Brother Max, please give me your advice!”M
The receipt was the only way that he could get his reimbursement.Because of this, Max was very angry when he heard that Charlie had already taken the receipt away.He had been waiting for this receipt in order to claim for a reimbursement from his company. If Charlie refused to hand the receipt over to him, then he would not only be unable to earn money from this meal, but he would also lose one hundred thousand dollars. Wouldn’t he be making things worse in an already bad situation then?As he thought about this, Max hurried back to the table angrily. When he saw Charlie, he quickly asked, “Charlie, did you go to the front desk to secretly issue a receipt for yourself? Hurry up and give me the receipt now!”Charlie replied indifferently, “This meal was paid for by the two of us. What is wrong with me asking for a receipt from the front desk? After all, I paid one hundred thousand dollars for this meal. Did you forget that?”“You…” Max choked as he was completely speechless. Afte
He was originally planning to make one hundred thousand dollars. Unexpectedly, he had lost one hundred thousand dollars tonight instead. He had really made a big loss because of this meal!Max had the desire to die in his heart. He was initially doing quite well. He had bought a new Mercedes-Benz and he was pretending to look proper and decent. However, he really did not expect to lose so much money after meeting Charlie today.Therefore, he really could not wait to stab Charlie to death so he would be able to relieve his hatred.Charlie intended to provoke him even further at this time. Therefore, he poured him a glass of champagne as he held it out to Max before he smiled and said, “Come, Brother Max, let me give you a toast!”Max replied angrily, “I don’t want to drink with you!”Charlie smiled before he said, “Don’t be so angry. After all, you paid for this champagne with your own money too. Don’t you think that it would be a waste if you don’t drink it?”Max trembled with an
When Max heard that Charlie was going to donate one million dollars to the orphanage, he naturally did not believe it at all. He sneered before he said, “Charlie, you’re really good at bragging. You’re actually saying that you can donate one million dollars to the orphanage? You’re really trying hard to keep up your appearances to cover up your own predicament. Can you even afford to bring out a million dollars?”Charlie replied lightly, “Since I’ve said it, I’ll definitely honor my words. I won’t act like you and find a place to get into a car accident just to go back on my words!”When Max heard Charlie’s words, he knew that Charlie was deliberately ridiculing him. When he thought about the car crash earlier, he really hated Charlie to the core.If he had known that all of these would be happening, he would not have gone back on his words at all. It would have been better for him to donate his car. After all, it would be better for him compared to the situation now.Just look at
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
