At this time, a middle-aged man shouted in a cold voice, “This boy’s family is really bullying and taking advantage of others. You’re already pregnant with their grandchild and they aren’t even willing to give you any dowry at all. Aren’t they afraid that you’re going to abort the baby?”A young man replied, “Why would the Scotson family be afraid? They wish that my sister would abort the baby. This is because they despise and look down on my sister and they think that my sister isn’t worthy of marrying into their family.”After that, he continued speaking, “Sister, why does it seem as though you’re obsessed? Why do you have to marry that guy with the last name Scotson? That b*stard and his whole family are all so wicked! Why don’t you ask around our community and see if there are any other girls who did not receive a dowry from their in-laws when they were getting married? My good friend Samuel’s sister got married to an ordinary man from the next county and the guy’s family gave my

At this time, the abusive voice upstairs had already escalated.The middle-aged woman scolded angrily, “How did I even give birth to a wastrel like you? I worked so hard to support you and pay for your university education. You haven’t even made much money for our family for the past two years and now, you’re already rushing off to give birth to a child for someone else. If I had known that you’d be such an unconscionable person, then I should have thrown you away after I gave birth to you!”The young woman cried as she said, “Mom, the reason why I could attend university is entirely because I was relying on student loans! I’m still repaying the student loan right now. At that time, you did not even allow me to go to university. You even wanted to marry me off when I was just eighteen years old. You told me that the earlier a girl marries, the more valuable it will be!”“I tried my best to get admitted into university but you still refused to let me attend university. You even tried

After she was done speaking, she introduced Charlie to the young boy. “Francis, this is my husband, Charlie.”“Husband?” Francis asked in surprise. “Claire, you’re married already?”Claire nodded slightly before she smiled and said, “Yes, I’ve already been married for more than three years now. Where’s your sister? Is she at home?”At this time, a young girl with a five-fingerprint mark on her face came over as she faked a smile on her face and said, “Claire, you’re here!”This girl was also quite beautiful and she has a very good figure too. She was definitely someone from the upper middle class.However, the girl was obviously wearing a very cheap wedding dress. It could even be seen that some of the lacey parts of the wedding dress was already torn.A man and woman suddenly walked out of the room at this time. The couple looked like they were both in their early fifties and they had very cold expressions on their faces at this time. When they saw Claire, the couple looked at M

Charlie had not spoken all this while. However, when he saw Magnolia’s father picking up the rolling pin in his hand, he suddenly got very angry.It was fine if they were just making sarcastic and cynical remarks, scolding her, as well as attacking her personality. After all, he had simply accompanied his wife here to help her to marry off her high school classmate. So, all he wanted to do was to drive away and leave as soon as possible to complete the task of marrying her friend off.However, he really felt that it was intolerable when he saw the other party’s parents and younger brother acting like such assholes.Therefore, he stood in front of Claire and Magnolia in a very protective manner. After that, he stared coldly at Magnolia’s father as he said, “Do you know that all of your actions are illegal? Interfering in your children’s marriage is a freedom against morality. Moreover, personal attacks and insults, as well as your intention to sell your own daughter are also against

Even though Magnolia’s father was using all of his strength, he felt that he was hitting the rolling pin against hard steel. After that, there was a strong and violent vibration in between his thumb and index finger. He felt so much pain that he released the rolling pin immediately and he held onto his wrist as he yelled out in pain.When he looked at the rolling pin again, he realized that it was already broken into two!This really shocked Magnolia’s father.This man could actually break a rolling pin into half using his bare hands. Moreover, it seemed as though the other party was not in any pain at all. This guy was obviously a well-skilled fighter at first glance!How could he possibly afford to offend someone like this? What if he suffered a concussion after he punched him? Who could he reason things out with then? After all, he was just an old man with no money and no power at all. After getting beaten up, he would have no way to get anyone to avenge him either.As he thoug

Magnolia was still wiping the tears off her face when Charlie and Claire brought Magnolia all the way out of the community.Claire kept comforting Magnolia but Charlie did not step forward at all.After exiting the community, there were many people surrounding and competing to take pictures of the two cars that they had stopped by the side of the road.Charlie stepped forward to separate the crowd of people who were in front of the Aston Martin car. After that, he opened the co-driver’s seat and asked Magnolia to get into the car first.Magnolia was stunned when she saw the Aston Martin One-77 in front of her. She asked in surprise, “Claire, this car…”Claire smiled before she said, “My husband borrowed these two cars from his friend. Don’t worry, you’ll definitely be able to save face if we drive these two super sports cars to your in-laws’ house.”Magnolia was filled with guilt as she said, “Claire, I thought that your BMW would have been perfect. I really did not expect you to

“What the hell?”When Francis’s mother heard this, everything turned dark in front of her eyes!One hundred million dollars? What was this?Even if the other party had one million dollars, he would already be a very incredible rich man in her eyes. If he had ten million dollars, he would be a big and powerful figure that they could not afford to offend. If he had one hundred million dollars, he would be a god!What’s more, they did not just have a net worth of one hundred million dollars but they were actually driving two cars worth more than one hundred million dollars!As she thought about this, she hurriedly asked, “Are you telling me the truth? Are these two weird-looking cars really worth so much money?”Francis nodded as he tried to pull his mother up and said, “Do you think that I’d lie to you? Do you think that I don’t want a new house? But in this case, how can we even try to force it? Our family will suffer and be in deep shit if we offend a big and powerful figure!”F

Pausing, Julien then said, "I mostly drink wine and the occasional whiskey.""How much are those, usually?" Raymond asked.Julien thought about it. "If it's table wine, 10,000 to 50,000 USD. For bigger occasions, it'd be something over a hundred thousand."Raymond nodded and pointed at the bottle of Oskian vodka he had bought. "Guess how much that is?"Julein shook his head. "I don't usually drink Oskian alcohol, so I'm not too sure…""Come on," Charlie chuckled. "We're not asking if you know—we're just asking you to take a guess.""Then…" Julien quickly said. "I'm guessing, three thousand?""Three thousand?" Raymond chuckled and shook his head. "That's way too flattering. It's around 7 USD.""Seven bucks?!" Julien exclaimed, and he blurted, "You usually drink something that cheap, Mr. Cole?""Well, not stateside," Raymond smiled. "But I liked it after I ordered one from a diner yesterday. It's cheap, and it has quality."Julien gulped as he stared at his own cup filled to th

Julien flinched and promptly threw his hands up. "No, no, no… please don't say that, Mr. Wade! That's not what I mean—as a son, it's only right that I hope my father lives long and prospers. Why wouldn't I want him to?"Charlie pointed out, "Then why'd you say that I've screwed you over repeatedly?""Oh. I, uh…" Julien wasn't sure how to respond to that, and he groaned unhappily, "I was not being mindful with words. I take that back…" Charlie nodded. "Then, I'll give you another chance.""Huh?" Julien was left confused, and he quickly asked, "Another chance… for what?"Charlie clapped him on the shoulder again, smiling, "We're old friends, aren't we? Why would I screw you over? Anyway, your turn."Julien was left utterly aggrieved as he read through Charlie's intention—that was precisely the definition of screwing him over!If his father knew he had come to Aurous Hill to hang out with these two, especially Biden Cole, he would definitely be removed as heir! And yet, Charlie

Having seen a sliver of the common folk's plight, Julien turned back to the journey at hand.Soon, his MPV arrived at Aurous Hill's Antique Street.As it was closing hours, the place appeared bleak, almost as though it had been completely abandoned. It was only during opening hours and the few hours before closing that the place became most alive anyway.Most of the time, the vendors and employees outnumbered the guests, and during closing hours, it would get very quiet. One wouldn't even find strays here as there weren't scraps around.Still, Julien had no idea what the hell the place was, even as he arrived outside Treasure Measure following the location Charlie had sent.Once he was sure he was at the right place, he called Charlie, immediately sounding respectful and flattering, "I'm here, Mr. Wade. If you don't mind opening the door…""Alright, just hang on," Charlie said and put down the phone while turning to Raymond, who was putting the food on a folding table, "Our frien

The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What

At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav

The cabbie nodded. "Well, Talbot Associates, it is! They're said to be number two."-While Jacob was heading off to consult a law firm, Charlie was calling Julien Rothschild over the phone.The manchild had just had room service and was lounging on the couch, fiddling with his phone.After visiting the kennels with Charlie, he had been idling his days away at the hotel, waiting for Salem and his son to post that video of them being out at sea.Once that was done, Julien would return to the States, once more the heir apparent of the Rothschilds. Still, it was boring to simply lounge around in the hotel, and he would really like to strengthen his ties with Charlie.However, he was also afraid of being too forward as Charlie could be intimidating, and he could upset him—just like a fan eager to get close to their idol but was still worried about their idol getting disgusted with them.As such, he never expected Charlie to call him, and he immediately answered eagerly, "Good even

Pausing, Mr. Bay continued, "If they're not that upset with the idea, I'll bang my gavel and make the call so that you can at least stay as a vice president."If they keep refusing, I just have to promote Mr. Zonda to become a vice president while you take over his position of head-of-department as insurance. What do you think?"Jacob certainly wouldn't protest the idea of insurance, especially when he thought he would be forced to leave the Calligraphy and Painting Association altogether earlier. He quickly exclaimed gratefully, "Thank you so much, Mr. Bay!"Mr. Bay chuckled, clearly relieved as well. "Come on, Jacob—you don't have to be so formal. I'm like a brother to you! Don't you think that's what I should be doing?"Jacob laughed earnestly for once. "Well, brother, I'm honestly relieved…" He trailed off but soon pressed on, "But I have to ask, won't the other members have things to say even if you manage to persuade the other vice presidents? What if they remain unhappy?

There were times when making a person despair to some extent could be a people-strategy.For example, when your distant acquaintance asked for a ten grand loan but you could only lend him one, you couldn't tell him directly that. It would make them think you were being insincere.The better option would be to tell them how you were worse off than they were and had a debt yourself, or that some other friend had borrowed money for three years and never repaid it.And when that mere acquaintance was in despair, you could tell them that if it was really important, you could lend them one thousand with a credit card loan.That way, while the mere acquaintance wouldn't exactly be awash with gratitude, they at least wouldn't complain about your lack of sincerity.That was exactly what Mr. Bay was doing.He had no intention of offending Jacob, but he also couldn't directly tell him to give up on claiming the position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Otherwise, Ja

Jacob felt absolutely horrible just then, and he certainly did not expect Don Albert to give him the cold shoulder.If he had known, he would have just stayed content with the 200 thousand he had made and enjoyed his trip to Dubai! If he had, the Calligraphy and Painting Association wouldn't have found out about the bronze sculpture plot, and Don Albert would still be on friendly terms with him.Absolutely regretting everything, Jacob got in the backseat of the cab, tears of grief almost welling up and out of his eyes.Then, noticing that the cabbie was quietly watching him from the rearview mirror, he turned his face aside, whipped out his phone, and called Mr. Bay.As soon as Mr. Bay answered, he asked, "How did things go over there? Have you sorted out Zachary Evans yet?"He was waiting for Jacob to ask Don Albert for help so that the latter would pressure Zachary into posting a statement retracting his previous claims.However, Jacob knew full well that there was no hope for
