Chapter 998

Author: Lord Leaf
Charlie smiled before he said, “Don’t you know what kind of person Mom is by now? Even if she is really in pain right now, she’ll turn it into a momentary pain. At the same time, she will also turn a short-term pain into a long-term pain. Even if Dad is planning to divorce her, I am afraid it will not be that easy for him to do so.”

Claire was taken aback at this time. She suddenly felt a little enlightened.

Based on her mother’s temper and character, it would be very difficult for her father to get what he wanted even if he wanted to divorce her.

As she thought about this, Claire suddenly realized that her mother was only putting on an act when she said that she did not want to continue living anymore.

After that, she felt much more relieved.

As soon as they drove the BMW into the villa, they could hear Elaine cursing out loud: “Jacob Wilson, you old b*stard! Don’t you have a conscience at all? I’ve already suffered so much because of you and you are still trying to divorce me?”

    When Elaine saw that Jacob was so decisive, she replied angrily, “Okay, you can no longer live with me anymore, right? Alright then. We can both be separated for two years first. After that, we can go to court and file for a divorce then.”After she was done speaking, Elaine snorted before she said, “But Jacob, let me tell you I advance that I am a very narrow-minded person. If I find out that you’re living a better and more comfortable life compared to me after our divorce, then I’ll definitely feel very uncomfortable!”“You should understand better than anyone else the kind of things that I’ll do when I feel uncomfortable. I’ll definitely make you feel even more uncomfortable than me! That is the only way that my heart can finally be balanced!”“In other words, if you dare to go out and find a vixen outside and secretly enjoy life with her in the future, then I will definitely destroy your good things! After that, I’ll pester you every day and I’ll also follow you around like a sh

    It was obvious that Jacob was very desperate at this moment.When Elaine saw this, she felt even more victorious. After that, she said contemptuously, “Jacob Wilson, you d*mn old man. Why are you acting so pitifully right now? Are you trying to gain our daughter’s sympathy? Do you want me to bring up all of your previous love affairs in front of our daughter?”After that, before Jacob could even say anything at all, Elaine sneered as she said, “Jacob, you used to be so famous in school back then. Moreover, everyone in school also knows about the relationship between you and Matilda. However, even though you already have a girlfriend, you’re still being a womanizer. After that, you took advantage of me and ruined my innocence! I’ve been suffering and I’ve wasted half of my life because of you. Now, you’re actually thinking of divorcing me? There are so many scumbags in this world but none of them will ever be able to beat you!”Jacob felt as though his heart had been violently hit by

    When Charlie saw Claire heading to the bathroom in the master bedroom to shower, he quickly went to the guest bathroom on the same floor to take a shower.This was the benefit of living in a villa. There were so many bathrooms in the villa and they did not need to queue.Charlie took a bath quicker. When Claire came out of the bathroom, Charlie had already taken a shower and he was already lying on bed waiting for Claire.When Claire saw Charlie wearing a singlet and shorts as he laid on the bed, she was startled for a moment. After that, she blurted out, “Why are you sleeping on the bed?”Charlie smiled before he said, “Wife, didn’t you say that you’d allow me to be promoted some time ago? When Mom was missing because she was cheated by the MLM organization, my promotion was delayed for a while. Now that she’s back, you cannot stop me from getting my promotion, right?”“I…” Claire suddenly felt very embarrassed.She did not know how to answer Charlie’s question.She was the one

    Charlie said helplessly, “How can a couple not have any children together? We’re both normal people and we aren’t infertile anyway. If we don’t have a child, then we’ll become a joke to others. What if others think that you aren’t fertile? Do you really want them to look down on you?”Claire curled her lips before she said, “Then, if anyone asks me, then I will tell them that you’re the one who isn’t fertile then. Wouldn’t that be fine then?”After that, Claire said again, “Besides that, don’t you know that you’ve just been promoted to the second level? Do you know how many more levels you have to be upgraded to before you can be prepared to have children?”Charlie replied immediately, “I guess it must be the third level!”Claire hummed, “You can dream on!”After that, Claire picked up Charlie’s quilt from the floor before she threw it on top of him. After that, she said, “Each of us will be using our own quilts! You are not allowed to cross the boundary! As long as your hands, fe

    Charlie’s heart was thumping violently after asking the question. He didn’t know what Claire’s reply would be.At this moment, he suddenly felt an object hit his face, and he felt the soft texture of the object in the next second. It was the little teddy bear that Claire usually hugged to sleep.Then, Claire’s whiny voice resonated into his ears, “Hey, you’re so greedy. Usually, when playing mobile games, the further you progress, the more difficult the missions are. How can it be so easy?”Charlie pouted and said, “Dear, games nowadays can progress very quickly and easily. You can upgrade to Level 80 with a single slash!”Claire cleared her throat and imitated the computerized voice of the online platform’s customer service, “I’m sorry, dear, this kind of upgrade is not available in our system. May I suggest that you consider trying other games?”Charlie said frantically, “Oh no no, I don’t want to try other games. May I know if there is a shortcut for me to upgrade to the next l

    Claire said, “Please do not end the call yet. Please rate my service after the beep, press one for very satisfied, press two for satisfied, press three for not satisfied.”Charlie wailed, “One! Very satisfied!”Claire smiled gleefully and said, “Dear, thank you for your rating. This is the end of our conversation, see you again next time.”***That night, Charlie was tossing and turning, unable to sleep well.Although he had only been upgraded a level, this was the first time he had shared a bed with Claire since their wedding.Despite that, they were actually sleeping within the respective boundary. They used their own pillows and tugged in their own blankets.Of course, Charlie didn’t dare to cross the 38th parallel north between them. Otherwise, he would be extremely devastated if he was demoted one level in an instant!On the other hand, Claire couldn’t fall asleep too. She was very nervous and in jitters.Her heart was thumping so violently it almost jumped out of her rib

    Charlie was burning in the wrath of fury at the moment.He did not expect that there would be traffickers bold enough to extend their vile hands at the orphans!When he thought of the possibility of the children being sold to a beggar syndicate that might even disable them, he wanted to disfigure these human traffickers into a million pieces.He said into the phone, “Stephanie, where are you now? Are you at the orphanage?”“Yes!” Stephanie answered frantically, “I just came back from the police station, Mrs. Lewis and the others are still there.”“Good,” Charlie said, “Wait for me in the orphanage, I’ll be there right away!”He ended the call and hurried out without even informing Claire about it.Coming down the stairs, Elaine, wearing shiny red pajamas, urged impatiently, “Charlie, go and make breakfast, I’m starving.”Charlie frowned indignantly and blurted, “Make your own breakfast if you’re so hungry.”Elaine gritted her teeth and cursed, “Oh! You think you’re so amazing

    Jacob exclaimed restlessly, “Two years is too long! That shrew still doesn’t know that Matilda is back and I can’t hide it for long. What I was thinking is to divorce her first before she knows about Matilda.”Then, he sighed and said in a somewhat depressing tone, “You also heard what the shrew said yesterday. She threatened that she wouldn’t let me off the hook so easily if I have another woman. I’m afraid that she’ll go after Matilda if she learns about her! Matilda is so gentle, dignified, and has such a mild temperament, she won’t be able to withstand the shrew’s attack.”Charlie said, “Dad, I really want to help you with this, but I’m sorry, my hands are tied. You’ll have to figure this out yourself.”Frankly, Charlie wanted to just wipe Elaine clean off the grid. He already had this idea when that woman stole his card, but he couldn’t bear seeing Claire so upset. Otherwise, Elaine would not live another day in this world!If he didn’t release Elaine, Jacob would have the mos

    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
