Rogan exchanged glances with his brother, Adrian. After that, he hurriedly asked, “Kenneth, could you tell me how you lost your potency and became impotent? What happened to you?”Kenneth replied awkwardly, “Mr. Golding…you…you…why are you so concerned over this matter? To be honest, it is not that I don’t want to tell you about it. However, this sort of thing is really too shameful and embarrassing to be discussed!”Adrian who had not spoken up at all suddenly said, “Mr. Wilson, please do not feel any psychological burden. To be honest, the reason why we’ve looked for you today is simply for the honest exchange of information between patients. It would be much easier and more convenient for us to gather more clues if we share and exchange information with one another, right?”“Huh?!”Kenneth was dumbfounded.Information exchange between patients?What did he mean?Was he implying that these two brothers had also lost their potency and were impotent now?No way!These two were
Kenneth was also very shocked and surprised. He could not help but sigh as he said, “Speaking of which, Charlie is really a f*cking mysterious person. He simply muttered a few words that day, and I was confused and did not know what was happening at all after that…”Having said that, Kenneth could not help but be reminded of his tragic experience in Aurous Hill.First, he was beaten up by Charlie. After that, he was deprived of his ability to be a man and that was not the worst thing yet!The worst thing was when he had mistakenly believed in that old man with the last name Weaver and had eaten the supposedly magical medicine produced by the Weaver family. That medicine did not only fail to help him regain his former glory, but it also caused his penis to start rotting completely.In the end, he had finally managed to keep his own penis after receiving treatment from Charlie.As for Charlie’s treatment for him to keep his own penis, that was a whole different kind of suffering too
Kenneth replied, “I was pondering and I felt that although the metaphysics theory could be relatively true, it’s a much more holistic approach. For instance, it might gradually affect a person’s luck but it would be very unlikely to affect a person’s potency in an instant. So, I have a feeling that the young lad must have used some sort of feint attack on us.”Adrian asked, “A feint attack? What do you mean? Why do you say that?”Kenneth explained, “This is just like a magic trick. When a magician is performing a magic trick, in addition to the most commonly used camouflage method, a magician would always be using a feint attack on its audiences too. If he’s pointing at his right hand to show something to you, then he would generally be hiding something in his left hand. If he’s pointing at the hat to show you something in there, then he would usually be hiding something in his sleeves.”Adrian nodded solemnly as he said, “You can continue speaking.”Kenneth continued saying, “Look
Due to the strong cold air, the temperature in Eastcliff dropped drastically that night. Heavy snow was also falling from the sky.Charlie received a push notification on his cell phone stating that Eastcliff had already issued a blizzard warning from tonight until tomorrow.Charlie was wearing a shirt as he stepped out on the balcony of the guest room. All that he could think of at this time was just his parents.He was finally going to visit his parents’ grave tomorrow.This matter had been bothering him for the past eighteen years.Just as he was lost in his own thoughts, he suddenly heard Quinn’s voice, “Brother Charlie, don’t you feel cold when you’re wearing so little?”Charlie turned around and he saw Quinn. He did not know when she had entered his room and came towards the balcony.Quinn hurriedly explained, “Sorry, Brother Charlie. I had knocked on the door but no one answered the door. So, I simply pushed the door open and came in.”Charlie smiled slightly before he n
After he had found Quinn’s red shoes, he helped her put it on. After that, the scene immediately flashed to the next wedding scene.The wedding in his dream was extremely grand.Charlie’s parents were also there, and they had a very happy and kind smile on their faces.When the wedding music sounded, Yule took Quinn’s hand as they walked up to him. After that, Yule smiled before he handed Quinn’s hand over to him.The both of them then said their wedding vows and exchanged wedding rings before they kissed each other.Following that, the emcee asked Quinn to turn her back around to throw her wedding bouquet to her bridesmaids.However, it was Claire who caught the bouquet!After Claire had caught the bouquet, she did not look happy at all. On the contrary, she had a very grieved and upset expression on her face…Charlie could not help but quiver when he locked eyes with Claire. At this time, he suddenly opened his eyes, only to realize that it was all just a dream.He was shock
After listening to Yule’s explanation, Charlie finally realized the real purpose and reason the second and third son of the Golding family would manipulate the media to release this kind of news. He was also looking forward to it even more now. He could not wait to see the look on the faces of both the two eunuchs when they arrived at the Golding Group a short while later.At this time, Quinn also walked downstairs. When she saw Charlie and her father reading the newspaper together, she asked curiously, “Dad, Brother Charlie, what news are you looking at? Why do both of you look so engrossed in it?”Yule smiled as he said, “Your father has made the headlines today.”“Is that so?” Quinn hurried over to both of them. After glancing at the title, she replied angrily, “This is simply too much, right?! Even if your condition had worsened slightly before this and required you to be hospitalized again, your condition was far from critical! How could the media say this kind of irresponsi
This area had a total of about one thousand square meters, and it included a chairman’s office, a lounge, a private meeting room, as well as a fitness and entertainment room.No ordinary person would be able to enter this area at all.In other words, from the very moment Yule entered the closed garage in the underground parking lot, he had entered an environment where no one would be able to disturb him at all. The only people who could enter this place with him were all his confidants.After Yule had brought Charlie and the group of security guards with him to his office, he immediately picked up the phone on the desk before he said, “Ask Lucius to come over here.”Very soon, a middle-aged man in his forties knocked on the door before he came into the office.When the man saw Yule, he was stunned. It took quite some time for the man to regain his senses before he blurted out, “Chairman, you look so much better than you ever did before! Moreover, I feel that you look even better t
As Adrian was indulging in his wishful thinking, the door of the conference room was pushed open strongly.Immediately afterward, Yule took big steps as he walked into the conference room, and he was glowing with good health and a ruddy complexion on his cheeks. He had a very majestic aura surrounding him.Charlie followed closely behind him as he entered the conference room with Yule.Everyone in the conference room, including Adrian and Rogan, were all shocked and stunned when they saw Yule, who was in high spirits and good health.Adrian and Rogan immediately exchanged glances with one another. Although the two brothers usually did not communicate much with one another, they were both thinking of the same thing at the moment: ‘Our eldest brother was so sick yesterday. How did he suddenly become so healthy and look so radiant today? It was just one night. Isn’t there too much of a difference?’Moreover, the other board members had not seen Yule in a long time. After seeing the n
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
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
