When the other reporters heard this, everyone took another serious look at Yule.When they looked closely, they could see that this was indeed Yule. He had the same facial features and temperament that he always had.Hence, everyone could be certain that this man, who looked to be in his forties, was none other than Yule!The entire scene was in an uproar!No one could figure out why Yule, who was said to be critically ill in the morning, was looking so energetic and radiant at this time!Therefore, every photographer and cameraman on the scene had already locked their lenses firmly on Yule as the shutters continued sounding!At this time, the network media broadcasted the press conference live on the internet synchronously using their on-site equipment.When the majority of the netizens saw the ruddy complexion on Yule’s face, the shares for many of the listed companies under the Golding Group which had already dropped to its drop limit suddenly loosened up immediately!The so
However, based on the ruddy complexion on Yule’s face, he did not look as though he was terminally ill either. Was there really some form of miraculous medication?At this moment, Yule continued speaking, “The second issue I would like to point out is that if everyone does not believe that I have already fully recovered, I will go to the Fairview Hospital immediately after the press conference. I will get a full-body CT scan, and I will make sure that I release the result of my medical checkup to the media and general public.”As soon as Yule said these words, no one doubted the fact that his illness had been completely healed anymore.This was because if he were to do a full-body CT scan, they would be able to discover any kind of tumor in his body. Even the smallest tumor or cancer in its early stages would be easily discovered as well.If Yule had not recovered fully, he would certainly be afraid to accept this kind of medical examination.At this time, everyone could not help
Almost immediately after Yule’s domineering remarks, the share prices, which were steadily rising shortly after the limit was opened, suddenly seemed to be rocketing and directly hitting the up limit.A large number of institutions and investors were keeping an eye on the press conference. When they heard Yule’s words, they immediately had full confidence in Yule, and they were optimistic about the future performance of the Golding Group. They had even higher confidence in the Golding Group compared to before he had fallen ill!Therefore, everyone began desperately buying all the shares of the listed companies under the Golding Group which were still available on the stock market, and the share prices suddenly reached its up limit for the day.In the blink of an eye, the share prices reversed immediately, and the entire financial circle was instantly detonated.The reason why everyone was so optimistic and confident about the Golding Group was not just because Yule looked extremely
In Yule’s eyes, the Wade family and the Schulz family were two dragons who were competing with one another.The difference between the strength of the two families was not that great, but the Schulz family was a little stronger as compared to the Wade family.In fact, in the early years, the strength of both the Wade and Schulz family’s companies were about the same.If Curtis had not died at such a young age, the Wade family would have definitely surpassed the Schulz family a long time ago under his leadership.However, it was precisely because the genius Curtis had passed away so early and because the Wade family did not have any other successors at that time that the Schulz family had gradually managed to widen the gap between the two families.Yule believed that if Charlie returned to inherit the Wade family and then married his daughter, Charlie would then have control of both the Wade family and the Golding family.That way, the two families could even be merged. If that
Mount Wintry.This mountain could be called a Feng Shui treasure land because it was a place with superior terrains and abundant resources. It not only resembled a shoe-shaped ingot, but what was even better was the fact that it was surrounded by a continuous river flow, and this was extremely auspicious.The ancient people loved the mountains and water. Water did not only cleanse and purify everything, but it was also the source of life. Therefore, this Feng Shui treasure land could not be lacking in water.The water from Mount Wintry was indeed overflowing in abundance and the layout of the water was perfect. On this mountain, it felt as though this was the place where the heavenly gates were open, and the gate leading to this world would be closed. Therefore, this perfectly matched the Feng Shui of the abundantly overflowing water and the orientation of the mountain itself. This formed a perfect ‘waterworks dragon formation’.This kind of Feng Shui formation could guarantee the
No matter whether it was an ordinary family car or a luxury car, if the engine speed was below 2,500 rpm, it would not make much sound. However, if the speed of the car was increased to three or four thousand rpm or even four to five thousand rpm, the engine noise would immediately be increased several times.Therefore, as a driver, you would have to be gentle when stepping on the accelerator.At this time, the bodyguards had already driven the other vehicles into the parking lot next to the gate.There were only two black Rolls Royce left in front of the gate at this time. The car in front was driven by Charlie, and the one in the back was driven by another driver working for the Golding family.The electric gate opened on both sides as the security personnel made a gesture of inviting them in. Charlie stepped on the accelerator lightly as he drove slowly through the gate into the building.As Charlie drove the car up the winding road of Mount Wintry, he felt even more and more a
The security at the Wade ancestral grave had always been extremely tight.According to the Wade family’s regulations, aside from immediate family members of the Wade family, any other relatives who wanted to come to the Wade ancestral grave to come and pay their respects here would have to get the Wade’s family permission.Therefore, the requirements for the outsiders were even more stringent.Only family members or individuals with deep ties to the Wade family would be allowed to enter the ancestral grave.Since Yule and Curtis were like brothers when Curtis was still alive, the Wade family would always give the family of three permission to enter the ancestral grave.However, Yule’s entourage or men would not have any qualifications to approach or enter the Wade family ancestral grave at all.It was just two simple words. Not worthy.The Wade family members were buried here. Any one of them would have been a great and reputable figure amongst any ordinary man. How could any ra
He had already been separated from his parents for eighteen years!Charlie was also feeling very anxious at this time.In fact, he had not felt this kind of panic and eagerness for a very long time ever since he had obtained the .His parents were buried in one of the magnificent mausoleums which were not too far away from him. As soon as he walked up these one hundred steps, he would finally be able to pay his respects to his parents, and he would finally be able to fulfill the biggest dream he had had in the past eighteen years of his life.However, if these people refused to let him go up the steps, he could not possibly rush up there, right?Or, should he simply reveal his identity to the Wade family?If that were the case, he would be able to pay his respects to his parents today, but after that, there would be abundant trouble and catastrophe awaiting him.Just then, a loud and clear voice suddenly sounded, “Let him go up!”Everyone turned around to look
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
