Nelson was driving his Rolls-Royce at this time. His wife, who was two months pregnant, was sitting in the co-driver seat and his six years old daughter was sitting in the back seat of the car.The family of three had a smooth journey as they drove back to their villa.Nelson stopped the Rolls-Royce as soon as he drove into the garage. Nelson pushed the car door open as he prepared to get off the car. At the same time, Kelly, who was sitting beside him, also pushed the car door open.Their young daughter was already fast asleep in the back seat of the car.Kelly said to Nelson, “Husband, carry our daughter out and make sure that you place a coat over her. Don’t let her catch a cold.”Nelson nodded slightly. After stepping out of the car, Nelson reached out his hands as he opened the car door of the back seat.At this time, a few men dressed in black suddenly rushed towards him. They were each holding a pistol in their hands. As soon as they appeared, they pointed their pistols di
He hurriedly said, “What are you going to do? My daughter is innocent! Don’t get her involved in this!”The man in black sneered before he said: “How many babies and children have been kidnapped and abducted by your beggar syndicate? Aren’t they innocent too? So, do you mean to say that Nelson Bishop’s daughter is a human but other people’s children are not humans at all?”Nelson was shocked!Before Nelson or his wife could regain their senses, they were forcibly taken into the helicopter by the men dressed in black.After that, their daughter was also brought into the helicopter with them.One of the men in black took out a syringe before he injected Nelson’s daughter with a tranquilizer.This shot of tranquilizer would be able to put Nelson’s daughter in deep sleep for at least another ten hours.After that, the helicopter ascended quickly as they flew towards the bridge where Charlie currently was.***At this moment, on the bridge, Gibson’s family of six were all in shock.
As the forklift got closer and closer, Charlie asked the people around him to clear the path and make way before he waved at the forklift driver and said, “Come, put him here!”The forklift driver immediately drove the bulletproof S-Class Mercedes-Benz all the way to Charlie.Isaac replied at this time: “Don’t act hastily. Do not lower his car now. Otherwise, he might hurt the young master if he decides to step on the accelerator as soon as his car is lowered. Remove all the four wheels on his car before putting him down.”So, a few workers from the construction site hurriedly took their equipment with them before they went up the forklift and started removing all four wheels from the car.At this time, there was a fat man sitting inside the car. The fat man had a horrified expression on his face as he shouted out loud from the car, “Who are you guys, and what do you think you are doing?”Charlie ignored him completely.After all four wheels of his car had been removed, the forkl
Charlie has been recording him with his cell phone all this while. Therefore, he was naturally recording the scene of this fat man being welded and trapped to death inside this car.The fat man looked at Charlie before he started threatening him with all of his might, “I’m warning you! Let me go right now! Our boss’s brother-in-law is Donald Webb from the Webb family! I know that you must have certainly heard of Donald Webb’s name before! You can’t afford to provoke him at all! If you dare to do anything to me today, my boss and his brother-in-law, Donald Webb, will not spare your life!”Charlie smiled before he said, “Your boss? Your boss is already on his way here. So, he’ll also be seeing you off to death later!”As he spoke, a helicopter descended quickly from the sky!A few minutes later, the helicopter has already landed on the ground. Several people dressed in black escorted Nelson and his wife, Kelly down from the helicopter.Nelson was shocked when he saw the scene before
Nelson replied in horror, “Brother, my brother-in-law, Donald is also one of the most reputable and influential people in the entire South Region. He will not let you off just like this if you take my life today. Instead of taking revenge in the same manner, why don’t we turn our hostility into friendship instead?”Charlie smiled indifferently before he said, “I’m sorry but you are not worthy enough to become a friend of mine! Even Donald isn’t worthy enough! The Donald that you see as a god in your eyes is nothing but a load of crap to me!”After that, he said again, “You, with the last name Bishop. Don’t be anxious. I will deal with you one by one. I will send your brother on his way first before I have a very good chat with you after that!”Immediately afterwards, Charlie looked at the fat man in the Mercedes-Benz before he said coldly, “You abduct and sell children and you do not have a conscience at all. You assist the evildoer into committing wrongdoings and anyone has the rig
Charlie replied coldly, “Throw him into the river!”The helicopter flew towards the surface of the river beside the bridge immediately. After that, the helicopter suddenly disconnected the cable and the Mercedes-Benz crashed into the river at a very fast speed.Since the Mercedes-Benz was originally bulletproof, the body of the car was very heavy. Moreover, after the steel bars and steel plates were welded on the car, this made the car even heavier at this point.Therefore, the moment it plunged into the river at an incredibly high speed, it immediately formed a spectacular splash of water! The splashing water even formed a small scale rainbow under the sunlight!Immediately afterwards, the Mercedes-Benz disappeared without any delay as it sank directly to the bottom of the river.Everyone present knew that the fat man was bound to drown to death.After all, the car has already been completely welded. Therefore, it was impossible for him to escape even if he was a deity or an i
He had to leave a son behind to carry on the Bishop family lineage.This was also the reason why Nelson and his sister were both very eager for Kelly to give birth to a son.Nelson suddenly realized at this crucial moment that if he had no choice but to die here today, Kelly and the child in his belly would have to live on.What if the baby turned out to be a boy? There would be someone to carry on the Bishop family name then!Otherwise, if Kelly died here today, then it would all be over for the Bishop family.As he thought about this, Nelson immediately told Charlie, “Brother, no matter what hatred and grudge you hold against me, you should just deal with me directly. My wife is innocent and the child in my wife’s belly is also innocent. Please let them go!”Charlie replied coldly, “You abducted and hurt so many children. Have you ever thought that these children are the ones who are really innocent, then?”Nelson cried as he said, “Even if I did not have a conscience, this ha
Nelson scolded angrily, “You’re willing to abort my child just because you want to survive and keep your own life? Now, you’re even thinking of using our daughter as your shield? Do you really think that I’d be fooled by you? You b*tch! Why didn’t I notice that you are the sort of person who fears death and only thinks about your own life? You’re even willing to abandon and betray your husband at a critical moment like this!”Kelly really did not expect her husband to scold her so badly at this moment.It was true that she really wanted to continue living and surviving in this world. However, what she said was not entirely unreasonable. In this case, no matter whether she chose to die or live, it was impossible for her to keep the child in her stomach anyway. If this was the case, then wouldn’t it be better for one of them to live instead of the both of them to die immediately?Therefore, she asked Nelson, “We’re both husband and wife after all. When you were pleading for my life ea
Before Charlie had arrived, Jacob was still furious that Matilda would soon marry Yolden.After Charlie came, however, he was instead worried that Matilda would send him a wedding invitation.Meanwhile, Matilda and Yolden were discussing their list of guests.They had different social circles, but most of their friends were Stateside, and they only had some distant relatives in this country.Still, they had colleagues in Aurous Hill. Matilda had classmates too, but she was out of touch with them aside from Jacob, whom she often met.Still, as they discussed who should be invited, Matilda first suggested, "Let's go through everyone. First, our Stateside friends… I don't think we should tell them at all since it's a long journey, and inviting them would seem tactless. What do you think?"Yolden nodded, smiling, "I was just thinking the same thing. We're close with our Stateside friends and always keep in touch, but inviting them to our wedding might be a stretch. We'd just hit a wa
With that being said, once Matilda was thrown in the mix, Elaine would suddenly become an African honey badger, with every bit of black air force energy that was implied.As such, if Jacob had managed to be brave and take that one step back then, Charlie would have tried to help, stopping Elaine from harassing Jacob or Matilda.However, the reality was that Jacob had to bungle the chance when Matilda offered it to him.That was why the best option was for Jacob to understand that he couldn't get together with Matilda now so that he would feel much better.And since he had always been a coward, Charlie's slight intimidation cleared his head considerably.He then sighed, "Well, that's just life—you don't always get what you want, and you should never try to claim what you couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to choose Matilda over thirty years ago, so not being together now only makes sense.""Now, I can only pray that Elaine never finds out… or at least that things don't get out of h
Then, Jacob quickly pressed, "Dear boy, maybe you could stay a few days instead of taking more jobs. At least you could be there to stop my wife if she snaps.""Sure," Charlie chuckled, cheerfully agreeing to it. "Don't worry—Claire's returning in a couple of days too, and you'll be fine with us around. You're cheating in your mind, anyway…"Pausing, he then added a reminder, "But if she's really furious, just bear with her beatings and clawings. Live and let live, as they say."That left Jacob sulking, however. "What the hell! If I knew this would happen, I should have just taken her to court and divorced her openly! That way, I'd definitely make things work with Matilda. Yolden wouldn't even stand a chance!"Charlie had to keep a straight face. "Now, you're not quite right there—don't you know what would happen to your wife if you took this to court?"Jacob snorted coolly. "Elaine would just snap at me, hit me, and make sure I don't get a cent in the divorce. That's no big deal—
"Fuck!" When Jacob heard what Charlie said, he was horrified. He nervously asked, "Matilda isn't going to come to our house to deliver the invitation, is she? If Elaine finds out that I've been hiding Matilda's return from her all this time, I'll be so dead!" Charlie, having long seen through Jacob, knew he would never escape the shadow and claws of Elaine. He shook his head and said, "Whether they'll invite you, I have no way of knowing. If you're worried, you can tell Matilda that you don't want to be invited to her wedding and that you don't want to go." Jacob sighed. "That's just a temporary solution. Even if she doesn't know now, she'll probably find out sooner or later. A lot of our mutual friends already know about Matilda's return. You went to the gathering too. But those friends are not really in contact with Elaine, so she hasn't found out yet." Charlie smiled and said, "Matilda's return to the country was at a pretty sensitive time. If I'm not mistaken, she came b
Jacob then realized that Charlie was also driving a Rolls-Royce, and it was a more expensive Phantom. Surprised, he asked, "Charlie, where did you get this car?" Marilyn had prepared the car for Charlie when he left Scarlet Pinnacle Manor. He had driven it to Thompson First, so he had decided to use it today. Charlie replied, "A client lent it to me. You sounded urgent, so I drove it over." Then, he added, "You're something else. You're crying like a baby yet you're still in the mood to ask about the car. What's going on? Your friend said you'd cried twice already?" "That bloody Simon!" Hearing this, Jacob became furious and cursed, "He still doesn't have the slightest clue! He's such a damned fool! The more I try to avoid him, the more he keeps blabbering on and on. Argh, he's so stupid!" Charlie asked, "What exactly is bothering you?" Jacob's face instantly turned dejected, and with a long sigh, he choked up and said, "Charlie— Matilda— She's getting married—" "Gettin
Things were a little different and unique in the United States, though. Westerners tended to approach marriage with greater caution. Many couples stayed together for years, had several children, and yet remained as boyfriend and girlfriend. Being together, having children, and raising them jointly didn't necessarily mean they would get married. In fact, it was not uncommon for some to walk down the aisle only after having multiple kids. Because of this environment, elderly couples in the West often limited their relationships to dating, and at most, cohabitation. Very few progressed to the stage of marriage. However, Yolden, like a young man in the throes of passionate love, had invited her on a trip, secretly prepared a proposal ceremony by the seaside, and gotten down on one knee with a ring to propose. These actions deeply moved Matilda and, at the same time, gave her an unprecedented sense of security. Now, Yolden had moved their wedding up a big step and set the date just on
Hearing Jacob's tone, Charlie could tell that Jacob must have already learned about Matilda's plans to marry Yolden. So, Charlie said, "I'm just around the corner. I'll head over now, and we can meet at the gate." Choking up, Jacob replied, "Alright, I won't drive then. I'll wait for you at the gate. Hurry!" "Okay," Charlie agreed, but after hanging up, he deliberately waited for a few minutes. It was because Yolden had just left moments ago to pick up Matilda at Senior University. If Charlie had gone there right now, all four of them could have run into each other at the gate, which would make things even more awkward. Charlie wasn't worried about feeling awkward himself—he was more concerned about Jacob being further hurt. After intentionally waiting a bit, Charlie finally drove to the university. Just as Charlie drove toward Senior University, Matilda was waiting for Yolden by the roadside at the entrance of Senior University. At this moment, Jacob stumbled out of th
Charlie asked, "There are too many new domestic energy brands now. Do you think they still have a shot in vehicle manufacturing?" "Of course," Yolden affirmed. "There are indeed many new energy brands now, and many of them are struggling on the edge of survival. A lot of them have already disappeared, but the automotive market is so vast, and new energy vehicles only account for a small portion of it, which proves that the future of new energy still has great potential. Now, if the focus is only on competing with other new energy brands, the scale is indeed a bit small. The scope should be broadened to compete with traditional gasoline vehicle manufacturers. If you can cut Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai's global sales in half, that would truly be a giant." Yolden paused for a moment, almost as if remembering something, and then said, "Actually, you could consider researching this field. You don't lack money or resources, and with Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group as your logistics channe
When Jacob came to his senses, he was already in tears. The student presumed he was unwell and asked, "Mr. Wilson, do you want me to call your wife to pick you up?" Elaine's sarcastic face immediately popped up in his mind, and he trembled with fear. He quickly wiped away his tears and stammered, "D-don't bother... I... I just got something in my eyes..." The student obviously didn't believe him and asked worriedly, "Why don't you call your wife? Or I'll call a cab for you." "No, no." Jacob waved his hand and said, "I'll call my son-in-law to pick me up. He has just returned to Aurous Hill, so it shouldn't be a problem." After that, he quickly took out his phone and called Charlie. Just a few minutes ago, Charlie had left the cafe and was about to walk Yolden to his car. When he saw Yolden walking straight toward a domestic new energy vehicle, he asked curiously, "I don't think you were driving this model before, were you?" "I just bought it," Yolden replied with a smil
