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
Ares LLP was the biggest law firm in the States, and only the best of the best were recruited as associates.If Jimmy got to pick ten of their partners, he was basically taking a huge chunk out of their human resources.Moreover, the partners' salaries would be very expensive. With Jimmy included, eleven of them meant over a hundred million US dollars at minimum. Ares would definitely be maimed if they had to pay that much money while losing ten of their elites! Naturally, Jimmy didn't feel confident about achieving that, and he asked Charlie, "Mr. Wade… Don't you think it's too much? Would Nate even agree to that?"Charlie shrugged. "Of course he won't agree if you're the one asking, but he would definitely say yes if it were Julien."Julien almost rolled his eyes.The man was truly ruthless, ready to inflict so much damage at the drop of a hat.Worst of all, he was going to play the villain for Charlie.Still, he said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade! I will pressure him
However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e
The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi
And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J
Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h
Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des
As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e
Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
