At this time, Donald and his wife, Alice were just comforting Kian who had just enjoyed his extra meal.Sean, as the eldest grandson, was bringing the dinner prepared by the servant to his grandfather’s room.When he pushed the bedroom door open, he saw the old man convulsing uncontrollably as he lay on the carpet. His face was also very pale as he was foaming at the mouth!Sean was taken aback and he hurriedly stepped forward to check on his grandfather. He realized that the old man seemed to have suffered from a stroke. When he looked at the old man’s hand, he saw that he was holding tightly onto his cell phone in his trembling hand. He was looking at a video on his cell phone. Why did the person in the video look just like his uncle?He subconsciously picked up the cell phone to take a look at the video. At this time, he happened to see his uncle losing his mind as he grabbed his aunt’s neck and strangled her directly…Sean shuddered before he threw the cell phone aside.As he
Donald and Alice were huddled closely together as they stared at the cell phone. They broke down completely after watching this thrilling video.She was already panicking when she saw her brother strangling her sister-in-law to death. When she saw her brother getting welded to the body of the car as he drowned in the sinking car after getting thrown into the river, she collapsed immediately. Her legs became soft and she fell to the ground in an instant.Immediately afterwards, she cried out desperately, “Nelson! My brother! You died so miserably! Now that you’re dead, our Bishop family will lose our family lineage! How do you expect your sister to face our parents in the future? How am I supposed to face the ancestors of the Bishop family?”After she spoked, Alice started hitting the ground as hard as she could with her fist before she yelled hysterically, “My good brother, tell your sister who killed you! I’ll make sure to shred him into pieces to take revenge for you! This person
Some companies with a market value of more than ten billion dollars could drop until it was only left with a market value of a few hundred million dollars. This meant that their assets would have shrunk by more than ninety percent!Some companies could even fall into bankruptcy because of a small problem with their manufactured products. However, what was this compared to the charges faced by the Webb family now?This time, the Webb family might have to be the scapegoat for Nelson’s beggar syndicate. All the unconscientious things that he had done would eventually be pinned on the Webb family!Donald was extremely nervous at this time. This was because he knew very well in his heart that the Webb family was facing a huge crisis and disaster this time!So, he immediately told his assistant, “Issue a statement immediately under the name of the group. State that even though Nelson was indeed my brother-in-law, the Webb family had no knowledge of what Nelson was doing or what he was in
As the Webb family was getting scolded on the Internet, Webb Group has already published their statement through various channels.However, all the netizens could see that this was just a statement to disassociate themselves so they could shift the blame away from them.Everyone knew that it was completely impossible for a capable person such as Donald not to know anything about his brother-in-law’s occupation.There was no credibility in the statement at all since he was coming out to whitewash himself at a time like this. Moreover, many people on the Internet had already looked through Nelson’s life experiences.The Bishop family was originally a poor family in the South Region. They did not have much money and they were not a flourishing and prosperous family.It wasn’t until Alice, the daughter of the Bishop family, married Donald that the lives of the Bishop family finally got better.However, Alice’s parents did not have a good life. Both of them had passed away from canc
Later, he got connected to the Webb family by chance.Earlier, Sean’s younger brother, Kian, was exposed online because he had given young girls some psychological hints and had induced another girl to jump off the building.At that time, the Webb family had asked this shill to come forward. They had asked the shill to counterattack and twist the facts so that it seemed as though the young girl was greedy for vanity and was trying to marry into a wealthy family even though Kian was the one who had forced the young girl to kill herself. They wanted to make it seem as though the young girl threatened to jump off the building when she failed to pursue Kian before she died accidentally.At that time, the shill used his shameless and powerful forces to twist and turn the truth on the Internet. They convinced the netizens to mistakenly believe that the young girl was simply suffering the consequences of her own actions. In the end, a large number of netizens scolded the young girl on the
The shill named ‘Know One’s Place and Abide by the Law’ was nothing but a shameless and ordinary person.Although he had some ability to call out the shills, he was a transparent person in front of a real top hacker.After the hacker hacked into his computer, he had immediately obtained and investigated every detail of his personal information.First of all, this person was from Hovemar Province and his home was located in Liebatral.Secondly, this person had indeed received twenty million dollars cash that had just been remitted to him by the Webb family.Again, this man had stupidly used his own bank card to collect the money.The hacker also found out the chat history between this shill and the Webb family.In the chat history, Sean had asked him if he would be able to help to whitewash the Webb family. The shill immediately replied that he had ten thousand ways to help the Webb family to whitewash themselves. Moreover, he had also stated that he had already done this more th
One of the men dressed in black approached him in a few steps before he held a pistol against his forehead as he asked in a cold voice, “Are you ‘Know One’s Place and Abide by the Law’?”The leader of the shills was so scared that he hurriedly said, “I’m not! I’m not! I don’t understand what you are talking about. Who are you guys?”The man in black replied coldly, “You will find out who we are soon. Come with us!”The leader of the shills hurriedly shouted, “Come with you! Why did you break into my house? If you refuse to leave, I’ll call the police!”Two men in black stepped forward directly. One of them grabbed his two arms and twisted it back before the other man broke his arms directly.The leader of the shills screamed out in pain but the other party did not intend to spare him. He aimed directly downwards at a forty-five degree angle before he kicked both of his knees directly with the sole of his feet and broke his knees immediately.The leader of the shills almost fainte
Sean felt seriously wronged.He had only wanted to help and share his father’s burden. However, he really did not expect the leader of the shills to be so unreliable!He was not only unreliable but he even dared to betray him!He was extremely angry and he said to Donald, “Dad! The leader of the shills has already taken my money and he actually dares to expose me? I’m going to destroy him!”Donald replied coldly, “You’re really extraordinarily stupid! How can an ordinary shill like him actually have the audacity to fight and go against the Webb family? It must be the person behind this matter who is toying with us!”Sean hurriedly asked, “Dad, who do you think did this? Who would be so bold to kill Uncle and all the core members of the Beggar Clan, and even dare to openly confront the Webb family?”Donald gritted his teeth as he said, “I’m also considering and thinking about this issue. However, I really can’t think of anyone who is that powerful or capable. After all, we’ve alre
Charlie shook his head. "It's alright, Dad. You can go ahead if you're busy—I can pick up Claire on my own.""No way!" Elaine promptly snapped. "It's been so long since she came back. We are all going to the airport!"Jacob sighed in exasperation. "Well, I'm sticking to my schedule—first the Calligraphy and Painting Association, then I'll be back an hour before to pick you guys up before going together to the airport."Elaine was left fuming. "Is there no getting through to you? You really have to go to that stupid association, don't you? Okay, fine. If you must go, I will be going with you!""You're their honored vice president who will be promoted to president soon, no? As Mrs. Vice President and the future Mrs. President, is there an issue if I went for a look?"Jacob shuddered at the thought of Elaine going to the Calligraphy and Painting Association as he absolutely didn't want her to humiliate him with her antics. People would talk, asking how a proper gentleman like him c
Jacob yawned, stretching his arms and smacking his cheeks, before finally retorting in contempt, "For Pete's sake, woman—don't make dissing me a habit. Or does it please you so much?"Elaine pursed her lips. "You call that dissing? It's all facts—do you think I don't know you? Tell me, what qualifications do you have? Your knowledge about calligraphy is skin-deep, and even the frauds working on Antique Street could beat you.""Only you would have the audacity to take the role of vice president at the Calligraphy and Painting Association—heaven's above, how blind is the president to appoint you as his second fiddle? Still, you'll be packing your things as soon as he realizes the truth.""Oh, Elaine, poor Elaine…" Jacob grinned smugly at her right then. "I'm afraid things won't go the way you want. Mr. Bay's been chasing a promotion lately, and once he gets it, I will take his place as president. That means I'll be the top dog instead of second fiddle!""Bullshit!" Elaine snapped in
Jacob slept in the next day while Elaine got out of bed past ten as well.However, in the case of the latter, she wasn't drunk and was simply watching livestreams and video clips on her phone—a hobby she had picked up recently.As for Charlie, he had initially planned to visit the Champs Elys hot spring villa and train Nanako in her Reiki control. However, since Claire would be arriving in the afternoon, he stayed home, planning to leave for the airport when it was time.Elaine appeared groggy as she emerged from the elevator, rubbing her eyes while holding her phone in the other hand.Seeing Charlie cleaning the living room, she asked in curiosity, "Not going out today, Charlie? Aren't you usually going out to meet clients?"Then, she became concerned in an instant, "Wait, don't tell me—the Feng Shui business is falling off? Are we going to be affected altogether?"Charlie laughed. "You're just getting paranoid now. Things are going fine—I'm just giving myself a day's leave.""
"Anyway, we have an issue," Helena continued. "Two days ago, Nvidia launched the B100 processor, their latest product, just two hours ago—a next-generation chip that will outperform our H100 considerably. I've instructed Harrison to pull some strings and preorder a batch from Nvidia before the B100 hits the market, at least ensuring that we can get our hands on 20,000 in the first quarter when the B100 circulates."Charlie asked, "What are Harrison's thoughts on the matter?" "Of course that old fox is going to be reluctant," Helena snorted. "But with the B100's processing strength outclassing the H100's, many AI institutions and multimedia giants are waiting with their wallets wide open. He's complaining that after pulling strings to get his hands on so many H100s, he is too embarrassed to do it again for the B100.""Bullshit," Charlie chuckled. "He's just not keen on us raising our prices after that previous agreement.""Exactly," Helena laughed as well. "He's about the shrewdest
By the time Jacob was sent home, he was almost passed out drunk.As Charlie took him off Walker's hands, Jacob's eyelids were but narrow slits.With his rough facial features, his flushed cheeks, and that strange smile of his, he looked just like those sleazy middle-aged men often seen in animated cartoons.Still, seeing that Charlie had come out of the house to get him, he chuckled drunkenly, "D-Dear boy… Your dad… was so amazing!"Charlie shook his head in exasperation. "You're drunk, Dad—get some rest already. Otherwise, you might wake Mom up and get an earful for this.""Earful?" Jacob's eyes widened ferociously as he snorted, "S-She'd never dare!"Charlie chuckled as he said quietly, "Come on, keep it down—Elaine is plenty daring. And in your state, you stand no chance if she starts to beat you."Despite being drunk a second ago, Jacob suddenly shuddered from the shiver running down his spine, and he promptly corrected himself, "A gentleman… never lays a hand on a woman! T-
Naturally, neither Mr. Bay nor Hal argued with this, thus following Albert and Jacob to the Diamond Room—the grandest room of Heaven Springs.After Albert led the trio there and smiled, "Gentlemen, if you would please take your seats, my people will be delivering Big Red Robe tea and our menu to your table shortly. I've spoken to the kitchen as well, and they will be preparing appetizers first. Please feel free to enjoy a game of poker until everyone arrives, and the main courses will be delivered right away."His arrangement was utterly detailed, and the trio were awash with gratitude.Hal and Mr. Bay especially were looking upon Jacob worshipfully, as if he was an unassuming bigwig on Charlie's level.Soon, as the invited guests arrived, Albert personally brought two bottles of 3-liter Moutai that cost an arm and leg to the Diamond Room.For politeness's sake, Hal ordered two more bottles of one-liter Moutai, meaning that it was one liter for the eight persons in attendance.Th
Don Albert was waiting at the front doors of Heaven Springs when Jacob's Cullinan arrived.He was absolutely enthusiastic in welcoming the man, even stroking his ego as much as possible as he knew Jacob and his vanity—which made that a must.Hence, as soon as Jacob stopped the Cullinan, Don Albert and the manager of Heaven Springs were immediately on hand to receive him.Mr. Bay was riding shotgun but recognized Albert right away, exclaiming, "Shit, he's coming personally to receive you too?"Jacob chuckled. "Well, he and my son-in-law have a lot of respect for each other, so I guess that respect is extended to us as well."As they spoke, Albert had reached the Cullinan and opened the door for Albert, nodding at him respectfully, "Greetings, Mr. Wilson. You can leave the keys with Mr. Carson while I escort you and your friend upstairs.""Thank you very much." Jacob grinned and turned to Mr. Bay. "Come on. Let's go.""Yes, yes, of course!" Mr. Bay smiled and nodded, a little nerv
Mr. Bay's friend promptly asked, "Was it the manager, Mr. Carson?""Nope," Mr. Bay chuckled. "Guess again.""Oh, come on!" Mr. Bay's friend whined. "You're still telling me to guess now? Just so you know, those bigwigs were so pleased when I told them we'd have the Golden Room and said they'd be bringing their cards. I'd be laughed at if I didn't give them the details right now!"Mr. Bay laughed. "Alright, alright, I'll quit being mysterious—it's Jacob Wilson, my vice president. He contacted Don Albert of Heaven Springs personally, and the man promised you the Diamond Room and the finest wines of his cellar!""Holy shit!" Mr. Bay's friend gasped. "Mr. Wilson did? For real?! And the Diamond Room on top of that?!""Indeed," Mr. Bay nodded. "And you know me. Would I kid when it comes to such matters?"Mr. Bay's friend breathed a long sigh as if he had just cheated death. "Heavens… Thank you so much, my friend! You've really saved my skin there! You have no idea how much persuasion t
Jacob wasn't really concerned with the invitation. He wouldn't be going anyway, and he wouldn't tell Elaine about it.Right now, he had a question.After hanging up on Walker, he asked curiously, "A designated driver would be just a few dozen bucks at most. Why get Walker?"Mr. Bay sighed meaningfully. "Jacob, my boy—it's not just my job description you must handle when you succeed me. You must understand the unspoken rules of the workplace as well as interpersonal relationships."Raising his right index finger, he chuckled, "Earning the loyalty of subordinates is a science. But it has to be a carrot and stick—never just the carrot, while offering them chances to be of service.""Take Walker, for example. As his boss, buying him lunch is 5 points. Ask for a favor, but it's 50 points instead!""As a leader, you should also make sure to give requests that are reasonable. That way, they will consider you to be their ally, or soon enough.""People are strange that way—psychology sim
