The relationship between the prestigious families of Eastcliff was very intricate. Noble intermarriage was a common practice between these families, similar to the royal intermarriage where members of the ruling dynasties married into other reigning families.After all, every family had both male and female offspring, and when they reached the marriageable age, they were bound to look for suitable spouses. Since it was impossible for them to choose a spouse from ordinary families, their only options were the descendants among the prestigious families.It could be said that all of these prestigious families were more or less related by marriage between each other. In fact, some families that had many offspring would extend their intermarriage practice to the large network of other prominent families.In Europe, royal intermarriage was very common among monarchies where their kings and queens were related to each other, and this was because the royal families throughout Europe were

After a series of inspections and examinations, the doctor concluded that Dylan’s grandmother had indeed injured her tailbone and needed at least a week of bed rest.Because the old lady was in extreme pain, the doctor gave her a numbing injection and a painkiller injection.Dylan followed his mother to his grandmother’s ward, embarrassed.As soon as he entered the ward, his father Leonard quickly walked up and slapped him across the face with all his force, and chided loudly, “You hopeless b*stard! You’re beyond redemption! Luckily your grandmother hasn’t injured herself badly, or I’d f*cking kill you otherwise!”Dylan had never been punished since young. His father’s abrupt slap made him dumbfounded and aggrieved.His grandmother was a little heartbroken to see his grandson being slapped, so she said, “Leonard, that’s enough. Dylan is still young, it’s normal for the youngsters to behave like this although it isn’t glorious.”Lord Koch was not as magnanimous as his wife. He gla

It was only after the surgery that the ruby necklace was finally removed from the miserable Dylan’s intestines.What awaited him was fifteen days of absolute bed rest, so he had to lie down in the VIP room of his family’s hospital like a mummy.As the continuous usage of the patient-controlled epidural analgesia pump could cause damage to the body, the pump was removed at the second of his surgery, which was followed by the constant pain as he wiggled on the bed in an excruciating grimace.The more intense the pain was, the more intense the hatred he had toward Charlie.He couldn’t wait to recover quickly and then make his way to Aurous Hill to settle the score with Charlie. It would be best to cut him into a million pieces to restore his tarnished reputation as the third young master of the Koch family.Charlie, on the other hand, couldn’t care less about him.Claire’s high school friend was getting married over the weekend. Since he had promised his wife that he would borrow th

Claire said a little anxiously, “I’m afraid that I’m not good at driving these cars. Their engines are extremely powerful, so I fear I’ll lose control and subsequently cause an accident. It would be troublesome if I scratch their cars.”Charlie said with a gentle smile, “Don’t worry, dear. Don’t put too much burden on yourself, just think of them as our own cars.”Claire uttered, “You’d better teach me how to drive these cars, which button does what, and so on.”Charlie nodded. “Alright, come, I’ll teach you how to drive this Bugatti.”At this moment, a brand new Bentley Continental cruised into the Thompson First villa complex.The one behind the wheel was Harold, who was dressed in a smart suit that didn’t match his grisly face.Sitting in the front passenger seat was his father, Christopher.In the back row sat Lady Wilson and Wendy.Recently, the money that the Webb family had promised them had been transferred into the Wilson family’s account. They had used the money to re

Lady Wilson had always despised Charlie and his family.When she had begged them to return to the family, they refused to the very end. Now that she had obtained a huge investment from the Webb family, she didn’t need to take them seriously at all.Besides, she felt that Charlie and the family were simply appearing strong outwardly while they were actually weak inwardly.Although they lived in the luxurious Thompson First villa, that was all they had.Charlie and Jacob had no jobs and no income, simply lingering around the house all day.Claire owned an office, but the scale of her business was very small and the revenue generated from her own business seemed scarce at the moment.Hence, Lady Wilson was convinced that despite them living in the Thompson First villa, it was because they were barely able to afford to live in it, but realistically speaking, they were not as rich as she currently was.Previously, when she needed their support and begged them to return to the family,

Elaine was lying on the bed, watching a drama on her phone. She was bored to tears since she couldn’t go anywhere due to her injury, hence, she spent her time watching dramas.When the drama was at the peak of its plot, the loud and ear-deafening honk echoed continuously from outside her house which irritated her to the extreme. She stomped to the balcony to have a look and saw a brand new Bentley parked in front of her house. The annoying honking came from the same car.Elaine shouted angrily, “Hey, who the f*ck are you? Are you f*cking crazy? Why are you honking in front of my house?”Christopher saw Elaine standing on the balcony yelling expletives through the car window. He grinned and said, “Look, Mom, the shrew is out cursing!”“Haha!” Lady Wilson was overjoyed by Elaine’s reaction and said, “That shrew loves money the most, and if she knows that we are getting back on track, she’ll be so pissed off and jealous. I’ll create an illusion inside her head that I’m willing to acce

Upon hearing Lady Wilson’s words, Elaine was taken aback and upset.Did someone really invest in the Wilson family? Was he or she crazy?Among the lousy few that were left in the Wilson family, who could they bring to the table? It was absolutely impossible that these people could get Wilson Group back on track! Investing in their company would be like throwing money down the drain!Thinking of this, Elaine immediately sneered. “Hey, old bat, please drop your pathetic act in front of me. Based on what I know about you and your lousy family members, even if Wilson Group reopens, it will definitely go bankrupt again in a few days. Just look at what you have left in the feeble family of yours! What can you expect from Harold the loser anyway? You should be thankful if he doesn’t spend all your money!”Elaine’s remarks also hit Lady Wilson’s sore spot.Although Donald Webb had invested in their company, it in no way meant that they would be able to be at ease in the future.After all

In Lady Wilson’s opinion, vanity was the great flaw in Elaine’s character. Besides, she was also very greedy and a freeloader. If Lady Wilson were to give her a Bentley for real, she would definitely try to persuade Claire to succumb to her request.However, Lady Wilson overlooked another attribute in Elaine’s character, which was holding a grudge!Elaine loved to gain advantages by unfair means, but she held grudges to the extreme.Previously, she had been persuading Claire to return to Wilson Group because she had no grudge against Lady Wilson other than some minor conflicts.These minor conflicts wouldn’t have any effect on Elaine when it came to money.The tables had turned now!Elaine’s hostility towards Lady Wilson went off the charts!When they were in the detention center, Lady Wilson had influenced Jennifer to torture Elaine severely. Not only did they torture her by all means but they had also broken her leg before she left. Because of these tormenting experiences, Ela

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
