After that, she looked at Christopher as she said coldly, “Christopher, you’re feeling very upset because you think that Hannah has made a cuckold out of you. However, have you ever thought about the fact that you had both actually personally sent Wendy into Kenneth Wilson’s arms just because of five million dollars?”Everyone lowered their heads as soon as they heard this.Wendy felt very ashamed and humiliated but she did not dare to refute the old lady’s words.Christopher’s face was even more flushed red.Yes. The old lady was right.He was very furious and he felt that Hannah had insulted and humiliated him because she made a cuckold out of him. However, as a father, he had once sent his daughter into the arms of an old man who was even one year older than him. When Lady Wilson saw that everyone was too afraid to say anything, she said coldly, “Now, we all have our own faults and we’re all guilty of something too. So, we shouldn’t despise or blame each other. Instead, I wan
“Daffodils?” Claire asked in surprise. “Where are the daffodils? Why did they eat the daffodils?”Charlie smiled as he said, “The small plot of plants that I planted at the foot of the wall looks like leeks, but they’re actually daffodils.”“Oh my!” Claire blurted out, “Aren’t they leeks? I had really wanted to eat that!”Charlie smiled before he said, “They look like leeks but they aren’t leeks.”Claire replied, “I remember reading in a biology book that daffodils are poisonous, aren’t they?”Charlie nodded as she smiled and said, “My wife is really very knowledgeable. Daffodils are indeed poisonous. There is a kind of narcissus in the daffodil plants and excessive consumption of it can cause food poisoning.”Elaine widened her eyes in surprise as she exclaimed, “Oh, Charlie! Did you do it on purpose? It’s no wonder why you asked me what kind of vegetables the old lady likes to eat! I told you that she likes to eat leeks and that is the reason why you planted so many daffodils,
Everyone could understand the root cause of their big fight in the hospital because of Christopher’s swear words.It turned out that Hannah was pregnant!Moreover, the person who had impregnated her with the baby was not Christopher!When Elaine saw this, she could not help but burst out in laughter. “Hahaha! I’m really going to die from laughter. It turns out that Hannah is actually pregnant with someone else’s child! Hahaha!”Jacob could not help but exclaim in shock. “This woman is really too shameless. She committed adultery with another man and she still has the gall to come back even after getting pregnant with another man’s child?”Elaine laughed as she said, “Lady Wilson must be fuming with anger now. Didn’t she always think that her eldest daughter-in-law is the best? Isn’t it great this time? Her daughter-in-law has really made her proud this time!”Claire replied awkwardly, “This is such a big matter. Then, I guess that Uncle is definitely going to divorce Aunt, isn’t
That night, the video of the Wilson family started spreading rapidly throughout the entire Aurous Hill.This video was quickly uploaded on TikTok. However, Charlie had instructed TikTok to block the video.He did not want the video to exude too much influence, and he especially did not want this video to spread out of Aurous Hill.The reason behind this was because he knew that Donald would definitely be investing a sum of money in the Wilson family to support Wilson Group. If the Wilson family were to become notorious in the country, then this would very likely affect Donald’s decision.Charlie did not want the Wilson family to cool off just like that. It would be best if he broke out the scandal involving the Wilson family after Donald invested in the Wilson family. This way, he wouldn’t only be the Wilson family but also Donald that he would also be giving a slap in the face.All the Wilson family members were in pain for the entire night. Moreover, since they had been infused
He wasn’t the only one, for the entire Wilson family was very excited.This was because all of them knew that the Wilson family was finally making a comeback this time!Harold smiled before he told Lady Wilson, “Grandma, the Wilson family is going to be rich soon! The Webb family isn’t only investing in our company but they’re also giving us a new project to handle. They’re making it clear that they are supporting us and backing us up!”Harold was secretly making plans in his mind as he spoke.Once upon a time, Harold was also a well-known rich heir. He used to live a life of luxury every day and he was surrounded by countless people and various compliments back then.However, his life had been hell during this period of time. Everyone who knew him in Aurous Hill also knew that he had already become homeless and miserable.Now, it was finally time for Harold to make a comeback.Wendy also had a longing expression on her face as she said, “When our family gets rich, wouldn’t we b
When Donald saw this video, he was extremely pissed off and furious.He really did not expect that someone would have taken a video of the Wilson family’s fight in the hospital.What was even more unexpected was that this video would be exposed directly after he announced his investment in Wilson Group.This showed that someone was deliberately finding fault with him! They were waiting for him to publicly announce his investment in Wilson Group before they gave him a slap in his face!The most hateful thing was TikTok!It seemed as though this online video platform really had beef with him!Last time, the standup comedy between Cain and Marcus had spread like wildfire because of this platform!Even when he tried to use public relations to deal with that matter, it was of no use at all as the Wade family in Eastcliff had directly bought over the online video platform. Besides that, the process of his d*mn brother-in-law, Nelson, and his entire Beggar Clan getting wiped out was
Late at night, at the foot of Mount Golmin, Jeffrey was wrapped in a thick jacket made out of deerskin, dragging his elderly father, Jordan, behind him as they walked out of the mountain.The temperature at Mount Golmin had dropped drastically recently, with its temperature reaching the lowest point of about minus thirty degrees during the night.Under any normal circumstances, they would both be unwilling to step out of the house even if it would kill them. However, because of the clear requirements, they had to go into the mountain to gather ginseng.They would only be able to get some food, medicine, and also the kerosene and firewood that they needed for heating in exchange for the ginseng that they gathered.After all, the weather was so cold and the energy consumption for the heater was very high every day. Picking up firewood alone would not be sufficient for them and it would have to be matched with a sufficient amount of kerosene too.After going into the mountain for the
The father and son from the Weaver family were both dreaming of turning their lives around. Suddenly, a violent cold wind suddenly blew swiftly across Mount Golmin, making them shiver from the cold.Jordan sighed as he said, “The wind at this place is really too harsh. A gust of wind makes my whole body tremble and shiver from the cold. Let’s leave now.”“Okay!” Jeffrey had also felt the cold air that pierced his bones. He quickly shrank his neck as he stood up and patted the snow off his butt. After that, he stretched out his hand to help him father up.In fact, during this period of time when the father and son had to live together on Mount Golmin, their relationship had really improved a lot.In the past, although Jordan had always preferred his eldest son, he was a very selfish person and it was very difficult for him to really treat another person well.Therefore, he treated Jeffrey in just a very ordinary manner even though it was better than how he had treated Liam.Jeffre
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
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
