He realized that the interest rates for the loans from these online loan platforms were all very high. Some of the interest rates were simply insane. If he were to take out a loan of seventy thousand dollars from them, then he would have to pay back a hundred and thirty thousand dollars after just one week!The interest rate was nearly doubled! At this time, Joey could not help but asked Max with a worried expression on his face, “Brother Max, the interest rates on these loan platforms are simply too high. It’s almost equivalent to the amount of money that I can make from investing my money with you. If I were to borrow money from them to manage my financial affairs, then wouldn’t I be indirectly helping these online platforms to make money?”Max waved his hand indifferently as he smiled and said, “Don’t worry. These loan platforms that I’ve recommended to you are all operated by my friends. It might seem as though the interest rate is really high but they would be able to waive the
At this time, on the other end of the line, Janice suddenly let out a very strange scream. This made Max feel as though all the blood in his body was rushing straight down.This sound was very familiar to him. Wasn’t this the sound that a woman made when she was at her happiest because she was experiencing an orgasm?Joey felt very distressed at this time and he said, “My dear, you should stop twisting your body since you’re feeling so much discomfort now. You should stop practicing now. I will feel very distressed if your injury gets worse.”Janice groaned unbearably before she hurriedly asked, “Joey, is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up now. I…I’m still practicing and I can’t pause because I am at the most critical moment right now. Otherwise, everything would be in vain if I stopped right now…”Joey hurriedly said proudly, “Janice, I want to tell you a piece of good news! A good friend of mine is helping me to make some money. He can introduce me
Joey hurriedly replied, “We’ve known each other for three years and we’ve already been together for two years now.”Max asked again, “Then, how did you two meet each other?”Joey smiled before he said, “At that time, I wanted to join a company but I needed to ask someone to help me to do something so that I can get into the company. However, he wanted me to bring him two Treasurer Gold premium cigarettes.”“I found out that the Treasurer Gold cigarettes are really expensive. One of it would already cost a few hundred dollars and two of the Treasurer Gold premium cigarettes would already cost me more than one thousand dollars. Therefore, I decided to search online to see if I could find anyone selling it at a cheaper price. Who would have known that I would really find someone selling those cigarettes at a cheaper price! It was Janice! She sold her Treasurer Gold premium cigarettes for only two hundred dollars each!”Max could not help but feel extremely awkward after listening to J
When the heartless Max left Joey’s dormitory, he suddenly felt a little guilty towards him.He felt that even though people like Joey were really hateful, he was also very pitiful at the same time.He was an orphan with no father or mother. Moreover, he had not achieved anything in his life even after working hard for so many years. In the end, he had even found a girlfriend who was nothing but a shrewd woman.What would Joey feel if he found out that his girlfriend was actually enjoying sexual intimacy with another man when she scolded and cursed at him when he called her earlier? Moreover, Joey has just handed all of his assets over to Max.He even took up a loan of more than five hundred thousand dollars from loan sharks who practiced usury.In one weeks’ time, Joey would have to repay at least one million dollars for all of his loans.After a month, he would be owing them several millions in debt.When that time comes, he would certainly be very desperate with nowhere else
Aside from Stephanie and Mrs. Lewis, Harvey was the first person who gave a toast to Charlie to thank him for the donation that he made to the orphanage.The other people were all only toasting him, not because of the money that he had donated to the orphanage, but simply because they had found out that he seemed to be a wealthy person.These were two completely different starting points. Those who rushed forward to toast him for the donation that he had made to the orphanage really cared about the orphanage. On the other hand, those people who were simply giving him a toast were only doing so because they wanted to build up a relationship with him.After all, for all these people here today, anyone who could easily donate one million dollars to the orphanage at will would not be any simple or ordinary person. This has already far exceeded their understanding.Charlie and Harvey drank the glass of wine together. Harvey sighed sincerely as he said, “Charlie, I’m really very happy to
When Harvey saw that Charlie was showing his affection for Claire by holding her hand, he felt very gratified for his good brother.Therefore, he hurriedly poured another glass of wine for Charlie before he said, “Come, my dear brother Charlie, let me offer a toast to you two. I hope that both of you will be able to have a better and even more loving relationship! I wish for both of you to have a child soon!”Claire started blushing all of a sudden and she felt very embarrassed when she heard Harvey asking them to have a child soon.Charlie smiled before he said, “Thank you, brother! I will definitely work hard!”Claire felt even more embarrassed at this time. She continued holding Charlie’s hand with one hand before she placed one hand under the table as she pinched Charlie’s inner thigh.Charlie winced in pain but he did not dare to scream out loud. So, he hurriedly picked up his wine glass before he said to Harvey, “Come, let’s drink this glass of wine together!”After drinkin
If this had happened half an hour ago, everyone would have thought that Charlie was simply bragging.However, at this time, everyone knew that this matter was probably true since Charlie said so.Charlie smiled indifferently before he told Harvey, “Although I don’t share a deep friendship with Chairman Lane, we’re still acquaintances after all. I believe that he’ll definitely give me face on account of that.”After that, Charlie took out his cell phone before he looked for Travis’s phone number and called directly.After a short while, the phone call was connected.Travis was very surprised when he answered the call. He said, “Master Wade, why are you so free to call me today?”Charlie smiled lightly before he said, “Chairman Lane, it has already been a long time since we’ve seen each other.”Travis hurriedly replied, “Oh, I haven’t been back to Aurous Hill at all during this period of time. Otherwise, I would definitely have come over to say hello to you, Master Wade!”Charlie
After hanging up on Travis's call, Charlie told Harvey who was standing in front of him, “I’ve already greeted Chairman Lane on your behalf. He told me that he’ll transfer you over to the company headquarters to become his assistant.”Harvey and their table full of friends were all stunned.Everyone has already heard Travis’s name before. He was a super rich and wealthy man who had a net worth of more than ten billion dollars!Moreover, becoming the assistant of a super wealthy man with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars was not just an ordinary job. It was completely impossible for any ordinary person to be given this extraordinary opportunity.At the very least, the person would have to graduate with a PhD from a prestigious university or even have similar work experiences in many large companies and corporations to even be considered for the position by a wealthy man such as Travis.Everyone knew of Harvey’s situation and background very well.Both Harvey and Charlie w
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
