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
Charlie, who was sitting beside Yule, could not help but feel a lot of admiration and respect for him when he heard his words.Yule’s remarks might seem to be a demonstration of his weakness, but it was, in truth, a demonstration of his power in front of the board of directors.He had deliberately talked about how he had led the company to continue advancing by leaps and bounds over the past twenty years. On the surface, it seemed as though he wanted everyone to reminisce about the past and their old feelings, but in essence, he was simply reminding this group of people that he was the one who had led the company to push forward by leaps and bounds over the past twenty years. Moreover, he would also be the one to help this company to continue growing and developing rapidly for the next twenty years.If this group of people wanted to exclude him and remove him from his position, they would have to consider the actual development of the company over the past two decades so that they c
As Yule finished speaking in high spirits, filled with mettle, the other people were completely reassured at once. They were not only extremely relieved, but they even had a very excited smile on their faces.A few of them even clapped their hands involuntarily.Hence, everyone else was also filled with enthusiasm, and they followed suit and started applauding as well.In the final analysis, the reason why everyone else had joined the Golding Group was just to make money. They did not want to get engaged in forming any gangs or personal cliques. They simply wanted to follow the guidance of the person who would be able to lead them to continue making more money.Since a miracle had happened to Yule and his illness had already been cured, why wouldn’t they continue supporting him? Why wouldn’t they continue standing by his side so that they could continue to make more money under his leadership? Wasn’t that the best thing to do?The expression on Adrian and Rogan’s faces were extrem
When Adrian saw that his elder brother was agreeing to his proposal so readily, he could not find any more reasons to cause any trouble for him anymore. Thus, he ground his teeth and said, “Okay, then! We will wait for the results of your physical examination to come out later! If you have not fully recovered, I think it would not be suitable for you to continue assuming the role of the chairman of the board due to your physical health and condition. So, you should give up the position of chairman of the board so that a healthy person can take over the position as chairman instead!”Charlie, who had not spoken at all throughout this entire time, simply smiled and said, “If a healthy person is required to fill up the position as chairman of the board, I believe that neither you nor your brother would be able to meet this requirement either.”Adrian yelled out loud, “D*mn it! Stop talking nonsense here! I am in extremely good health!”“Is that so?” Charlie sneered as he said, “If I’ve
“Figure out your identity first?!”Although Adrian was a little cowardly because he had been afraid of Charlie’s strength, when he heard Charlie’s words, he had disdain written all over his face.He looked at Charlie before he said satirically, “I already told you that I have investigated and looked into your background. Aren’t you just a useless live-in son-in-law from the Wilson family in Aurous Hill? It is just a low-class family in a small city anyway. So, why are you showing off in front of me?”“Exactly!” Rogan also replied coldly, “You have to understand something. Even if you gathered all of the big and powerful families in Aurous Hill to face us, they would not even be able to represent half of the Golding family!”Rogan’s words were somewhat arrogant and exaggerated. However, fundamentally speaking, there were no wrongs or faults in his words at all.Aurous Hill was indeed a very small city compared to Eastcliff.Moreover, the Moore family, who was the top family in Aur
Jacob certainly agreed with Mr. Bay. When going to a dinner where alcohol would be involved, having a designated driver would be most convenient.Still, Jacob had another plan in mind.Since he had a Cullinan and this was the perfect chance to show off, it would kill him not to drive."Actually, we should go on our own," Jacob told Mr. Bay right then. "We will take my car and get a designated driver to take us home. We can hang out in the backseat to chat—I mean, you'd be in a bad mood if you get a bad driver, bringing a car that stinks of tobacco. You know how bad it can get."Mr. Bay nodded cheerfully. "Alright! I'm counting on you!""Oh, it's only right!"Coming to an agreement, they hurried outside, with Jacob driving and Mr. Bay riding shotgun.They were having a pleasant conversation when Jacob suddenly got a call from Walker, who was his sub at Senior University.Answering with the in-car Bluetooth system, he said, "Hey, Walker. What's up?""Mr. Wilson! I'm done with cl
As such, Albert did not hesitate to say right then, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilson—since they are your friends, I will offer the half-price rebate as you've suggested! When the guests take their seats, I'll personally deliver a couple of nice bottles over as a token of my sincerity!"Oskia truly sets the bar when it comes to being humanistic.There were times when one must show due respect, but not too much either in case it changed the status quo.It was just like a couple eating out with a third-wheel.Even if the third-wheel was better off and happily took the check as the girl watched, there would inevitably be competitiveness. The generosity might even lead to the girl getting attracted to the third-wheel.As such, since Jacob was actually secondary in importance at the event, Albert would have to make sure not to rain on the host's parade while showing his respects to Jacob. Otherwise, the host may hold a grudge against Jacob even if everything was free of charge.And when it cam
Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,
Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min
Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa
As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh
The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office
On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…
Charlie was driving Jacob to Thompson First when the latter received the text from Matilda.Seeing that they were reaching the front gates, Jacob promptly snapped at Charlie, "Charlie, stop the car now!"Charlie did so and asked in curiosity, "What's wrong?""Matilda just texted me," Jacob replied, showing the chat log between him and Matilda.Charlie was just glancing at it nonchalantly when he saw that Matilda's contact name was 'AAA July Florist'."Wait, why is that Aunt Matilda's contact name?" He exclaimed in surprise."I changed it."Jacob explained gingerly while reading through the text Matilda sent. "Her profile picture is an iris, so I changed her contact name to a florist since I'm mostly worried Elaine would peek into my phone.""Anyway, she's asking if I'm attending her wedding with Yolden. They would send us an invitation if I accept, extended to our whole family… what do you think I should say?"Charlie asked in return. "You're planning to skip it, aren't you? T
