Under such dire circumstances, everyone in the Webb family could hardly close their eyes and sleep.When Hannah was taken to the Webb family mansion, Bryan did not bring her to the living area directly. Instead, he took her in the servants’ quarters and went over to invite Donald and Sean.The father and son immediately went to see her when they learned about her arrival.As soon as they appeared, Hannah dropped on her knees and thanked them profusely for saving her.Sean said with his emotionless face, “Hannah Wilson, we rescued you not because we sympathize with you, but because we need you to do something for us.”“Yes, yes! Anything!”“I know that you hold a grudge against Charlie Wade. I do too, and my grudge against him is beyond imaginable. Tell me honestly, do you want to get revenge on Charlie?”Hannah’s face blushed with obvious rage as she growled, “Of course! The b*stard almost killed me and he even sent me to the living hell! I want to kill him and chop him up into
At this moment, at the Aurous Detention Center, Lady Wilson and Wendy had been locked up for several days now. Thanks to Jennifer’s sympathy, no one had bullied them while they were locked up.Christopher and Harold, on the other hand, were not doing so well in the men’s detention cell.They were bullied in various ways as soon as they were thrown into the cell for being rookies. Not only did they have to do a lot of work but their food was snatched away by the other inmates. There was not a single day that they could sleep with a slightly-filled belly.Because of his misfortune, the hatred Christopher had towards Hannah intensified day by day.He couldn’t help but think about how comfortable she must be with her beloved toyboy and the money she had robbed from him.If it weren’t for Hannah, who had taken away all their money, he would not have ended up where he was now!Initially, the four of them were sentenced to fifteen days in detention. There were a few more days to go be
Wendy jumped in excitement and asked, “Sir, is it true? Did you release my father and brother? Where are they now?”The man replied indifferently, “They are being taken care of by my men. Just follow me.”Lady Wilson didn’t give much thought to the entire event. She was in such a miserable state anyway and it was unnecessary for someone to kick her when she was down. In fact, he released her on bail too. She might as well go and take a look, perhaps a new fate awaited her.The two women went through the procedure and got their clothes and belongings. After changing into their own clothes, they followed the man out of the detention center.Two Rolls-Royce Phantoms were parked outside the detention center.The men turned to them, pointed to the car at the back, and said, “You two, get into that car.”Lady Wilson was screaming a joyful shriek inside her when she saw the cars.No ordinary people could afford a Rolls-Royce, let alone two.The Wilson family couldn’t afford a Rolls-Ro
Although she was very puzzled, Lady Wilson knew very well that it would be useless for her to think too much at this time. After all, she had already gotten into the other party’s car. It would be better for her to settle down and wait to find out what the other party had in mind.Moreover, her instincts told her that even though the other party looked a little mysterious, he would not hurt her.After all, she was very poor and had nothing at all. No one would go through so much trouble just to harm her.As she thought about this, Lady Wilson heaved a huge sigh of relief.She sat in the car calmly as she waited to see what the other party was going to offer them.The two Rolls-Royce drove directly into Aurous Airport. At this time, the Webb family’s private jet was already parked at the small hangar.This was the private jet that was used to send Hannah to Sudbury last night.Early the next morning, the private jet took off again from Sudbury as it headed toward Aurous Hill to p
She cried and muttered, “My son! My grandson! Both of you have suffered a lot of grievances!”Harold looked like a very aggrieved child. He wiped the tears off his eyes and choked as he said, “Grandma, you don’t know what kind of hardships my father and I have experienced during this period. This is the worst hardship and torment that I have ever suffered in my life.”Christopher also sighed as he said, “Ahh, it is all the same. We should not talk about all those things anymore. Talking about it will only add to our troubles.”Lady Wilson nodded before she hurriedly asked, “By the way, Christopher, what is going on? Who was the one who released us on bail?”“I don’t know…” Christopher shook his head before he said, “Both Harold and I were also suddenly released from the detention center. After that, they used their car to send us here before they asked us to wait here. We do not know who they are.”At this time, the man who picked Lady Wilson and Wendy up from the detention center
When Harold heard the other party rejecting his request directly with the excuse that she was Damien’s personal flight attendant, he was extremely embarrassed, and he was filled with jealousy.The rich and wealthy were indeed rich and wealthy. They not only had their own private jet, but they also had their own personal flight attendant. This really made people feel a lot of envy and hatred.When could he ever get to this point?The flight attendant ignored them before she swayed her hips and went to the front of the cabin. Damien kept his eyes closed the whole entire time and could not be bothered to talk to the Wilson family at all.Therefore, the Wilson family was also a little bored.They were all looking forward to the situation after arriving at Sudbury. Although they had never heard of Damien’s name before, they had certainly heard of Donald’s name.Donald was the eldest son of the Webb family and the current heir of the Webb family. Therefore, it could be said that he was
Why was the next generation of a big family not as good as the previous generation?Actually, this had a lot to do with the environment they lived in.The older generation was born into a humble life. They had to earn their own money to pay for each of their own meals, and they worked hard to earn every single cent they spent. So, during that time, the people who were able to build up a family business would never be considered mediocre. They were all regarded as elites.However, after they had established and made something out of themselves, their sons would already be living a full and abundant life from the moment they were born. Since they had adequate food and clothing, they did not need to work or fight hard to survive. Therefore, their instincts would naturally be weaker, and they would be less aggressive.By the time their grandson was born, he would have already been born with a silver spoon in his mouth. They would not go out to work hard to earn their keep. Instead, it
During this period, Christopher truly hated Hannah to the core!After all, to a man, there was nothing more painful than getting betrayed by his own beloved woman.When Hannah had disappeared, Christopher had fallen for Charlie’s words, and he was muddleheaded enough to actually believe that Hannah had eloped with a gigolo.Also, Hannah had held the entire family’s money with her at that time. Therefore, Christopher was even more angry and furious with Hannah.So many days and nights had already passed, but every time he thought of Hannah, he really wanted to catch her and beat her to death.However, he also knew that he would never be able to meet Hannah again in this life since she had already run away with their money. It would also be possible for her to have fled abroad with the money.He never expected that he would meet Hannah, whom he hated so deeply, in the Webb family villa in Sudbury today!Hence, Christopher did not think much and rushed at Hannah without any hesitat
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
At this point, Don Albert could very well be Jacob's personal messiah.Even if he did threaten Zachary with calling Charlie persistently, he actually wouldn't dare call Charlie.After all, how would he start explaining that he was involved in a crime? And telling Charlie was basically telling his daughter—what would they think of him after this? Would he ever be able to hold his head high in the family again?As such, his only option now was to ask Don Albert and see if he would help.What he didn't know was that Don Albert was with Charlie, who had already anticipated Jacob's move.When Jacob realized he couldn't stop Zachary, Jacob would find someone who could, and Don Albert was the best man for the job!To no surprise, Don Albert's phone soon started ringing with a call from Jacob.Don Albert didn't answer right away, however, instead turning toward Charlie as he asked gingerly, "So, shall I stick to your script, Master Wade?"Seeing Charlie nod, he pressed on, "Should I
As soon as Jacob sent the voice message, Mr. Bay called.Jacob quickly answered, asking nervously, "How are things over there, Mr. Bay?""How, you ask…?" Mr. Bay sighed in exasperation. "The entire Calligraphy and Painting Association was demanding your dismissal as soon as Zachary Evans posted his statement, thinking that you have no business being the administrative vice president let alone have a place in the association."Even those officials came asking me questions, and you know how they are—gossipers, every last one of them, always finding out about the juicy stuff instantly even if it's really no big deal. The only excuse I have to stop them is that we don't have the facts, but this issue still needs to be taken care of."So, be straight with me. Were you a part of this? If you don't, do you have any definitive evidence that can refute Zachary's claims?""I… Uh…" Jacob stammered, unable to answer.He certainly wanted to say no, but he had no evidence to back himself up.
Jacob bellowed furiously, "Raymond Cole made over 19 million dollars! From my bronze sculpture! Yet you're telling me to refund that 300 thousand too?! You're just fucking with me, aren't you?!""Well, if you don't like it, just do what you like, then," Zachary replied calmly and quickly hung up before Jacob could answer.Jacob was left twitching and shaking endlessly, and there was no telling if it was from rage or fear.Beside him, Elaine quickly asked, "What did Zachary say, dear? Can he get that bronze sculpture back?"Caught by surprise at her question, Jacob flinched, and his phone slipped out of his grasp.As it seemed to hover in the air, he tried to catch it twice but failed, but Elaine managed to grab it.It was then that she noticed that he was sweating all over his face, and she promptly asked, "What's wrong, dear?"Coming to his senses, Jacob's eyes went wide with rage. "Zachary is trying to kill me! He leaked the whole thing to his Twitter page—it's like he's pulli
Jacob turned his phone's loudspeaker on before switching panels to Twitter.He was already shocked to find dozens of people directly messaging him, and he was naturally curious why so many of them were looking for him while he was on his trip to Dubai.However, he had no time to find out as he promptly tapped on his social feed, and it took much swiping to reach Zachary's apology post.He tapped on it, scanning through it just before he went dizzy, the world spinning around him while a dull hum rang in his ears.Never would he have expected Zachary to spill the beans, leaking every detail including Jacob's name and contact information. What was that if not mutual destruction?!Absolutely furious, he bellowed at Zachary again, "What the fuck is this?! Are you trying to kill me, posting this shit?!""I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson, but I've come to understand how grave of a mistake I've made," Zachary calmly replied. "I've actually visited Treasure Measure earlier to apologize to Mr. Cole
Within hours, Jacob and Elaine's flight had landed at Dubai International Airport, and the first thing he did was turn off his phone's flight mode.Then, staring at the upper right corner, he waited for the phone to find a network signal.He had connected to international data roaming, and within a few dozen seconds, he was connected to the internet.Once he did, a ton of notifications popped up on his phone, but he didn't care to check any of them and instead opened his contacts and called Zachary.Zachary was in his office, ready to do his usual rounds inspecting Don Albert's premises.While he had indeed completely lost his reputation at Aurous Hill's Antique Street after pinning that post on top of his social page and was given plenty of weird looks by people around him, he didn't care because he knew how to prioritize.Right now, the most important thing that he had to do was put all his body and spirit into his work and not get distracted by anything else.Only then could
The man who had called out to him shrugged. "Zachary posted it on his account. Check it out yourself!"Mick promptly tapped out of his message editor, refreshed his social feed, and immediately saw Zachary's apology post.Once he tapped on it and read it, he almost had a stroke and was cursing before he knew it, "Fuck technology! It's like a self-exploding truck! Fuck you, Zachary Evans, blowing yourself up before I could end you! What a bitch!" Naturally, the post also made Jacob infamous.The Calligraphy and Painting Association more or less had a stake in the antique trade, and the members were shocked that Jacob was involved in such a scandal.Within minutes, word reached Mr. Bay, leaving him pacing around in his office anxiously.Mr. Bay was eager to suck up to Jacob too, which was why he had intended to let Jacob inherit his position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association after he was promoted.But while he thought it was as good as done, he didn't expec
