Early the next morning, Charlie brought the villa key and access cards that Zeke had given him as he drove to the Thompson First sales center with his wife.After driving for a short while, they arrived at the entrance of the Thompson First sales center.At this time, the sales center was extremely crowded. It seemed as though the residents of Aurous Hill were very interested in the properties developed by Thompson First Development Company even though they might not be able to afford it.When Claire saw the huge crowd of people, she pulled Charlie aside as she said, “Charlie, there are so many people here today. We will not be able to afford any of the properties here anyway, so why don’t we go somewhere else instead?”Charlie smiled before he replied, “My dear wife, since we are already here, then why don’t we just head in and take a look? We have nothing to lose anyway. I really want to take a look at the properties developed by this company. Will you accompany me?”At this tim

Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “Don’t worry. Your husband has already been bullied for so many years. I’m already used to it!”“Okay then…” Claire nodded.At this time, the property guide smiled before she told Wendy, “Miss, it’s true and it’s common knowledge that the Thompson First Development Company has always regarded the villa owners as our most distinguished customers. Therefore, our private swimming pool, high-end gymnasium, high-end sports club, golf courses and Michelin star restaurants from Italy are specially opened in the villa area to specifically serve the villa owners!”Wendy replied angrily, “What do you mean by that? So, are the owners of the high-rise condominiums not human? We’re spending a lot of money to buy your property too! Why can’t we enjoy these facilities?”The property guide could only reply, “I’m sorry but we also have a clubhouse in the high-rise condominium area. If you choose to buy one of the high-rise condominiums, you can use the clubho

It was obvious that Harold looked down on Charlie.Moreover, he was full of resentment towards Claire, who was a company director.When Harold saw that the couple were actually here to view the properties at Thompson First, he wanted to seize the opportunity to satirize and make fun of them.Charlie sneered as soon as he heard Harold’s satirical tone towards Claire and himself. “What? If someone like you is able to view the properties at Thompson First, then why can’t we come here today?”Harold sneered before he said, “The reason why my family and I are able to come here today is because we can afford to purchase one of the houses here! Can you even afford any of the houses here?”Charlie smiled before he replied, “How sure are you that I can’t afford any of the houses here?”Harold snorted at this time. “If you can afford to buy any of the properties here, then I am a ghost! Do you know how much the houses here cost? Even the smallest house in Thompson First is one hundred and

At this time, the sales lady walked up to Charlie before she said, “Sir, if you’re not going to buy a house today, then please leave now. Do not affect the other customers who are here to purchase our properties today.”Claire sighed before she tugged at Charlie’s sleeves and said, “Let’s go, Charlie. Let’s have a look elsewhere instead.”Other people also started booing Charlie at this time. “If you are poor, then please leave instead of being an embarrassment here!”Charlie remained motionless before he said with a smile, “Do you know why all of you cannot afford to live in the villas here? It’s because you’re all short-sighted and there’s no way any of you will be able to afford to live in a villa in this lifetime!”Harold continued insulting Charlie at this time. “Hahaha! Charlie, are you really going to continue to lie here? Is there anyone here today who isn’t richer than you?”Charlie raised his brows before he said, “Harold, you keep saying that I’ll never be able to affor

The sales lady was panicking because she was worried that she would lose her job since she had offended Charlie. However, Charlie simply waved his hand before he said in a faint manner, “Don’t worry, this is a small issue. I won’t hold this against you.”After that, Charlie continued speaking, “By the way, could you please explain what Villa A05 is to all these short-sighted people here today?”The sales lady hurriedly explained, “The villas in Thompson First are divided into four different categories: A, B, C, and D. The scarcest category is category A, which has the largest area. The villas in category A consists of three levels, including a basement. There is also a private elevator within each villa, with each villa measuring more than one thousand square meters large. It also consists of a front and rear courtyard. The price of one of these villas is over one hundred million dollars. This is the most expensive villa in Thompson First and perhaps even in the entire Aurous Hill!”

It was Charlie’s mother-in-law, Elaine!The person accompanying Elaine at this time was none other than her husband, Jacob!Charlie and Claire were a little surprised at this time. Why were they here?Claire hurried forward before she asked, “Mom! Dad! Why are you here?”Elaine replied, “Your aunt and uncle called us to inform us of their intention to check out the houses at Thompson First as they’re intending to buy a house here. They invited us here to help them look around today.”In fact, Elaine glared at Charlie as she said this sentence because she felt a little annoyed at this time.Elaine did not want to come here today because she had just gotten into an argument with her daughter last night as she wanted to move out of their house. Unexpectedly, she actually received a phone call from Christopher, asking her and her husband to come over to check out the properties with them.What did they want them to check out? Weren’t they just trying to show off the fact that they

When Christopher heard his words, he thought that Jacob was deliberately trying to mock him. Therefore, he could only glare at him as he said in a furious tone, “Jacob, enough is enough! Why are you saying all this? I know that you are going to move into the villa at Thompson First. Are you trying to show off now?”Jacob was stunned at this time. “Huh? I am going to live in a villa at Thompson First? What are you talking about, Elder Brother?”Elaine was also very confused at this time. “Brother, is there a mistake here? Are you sure there’s no misunderstanding on this matter?”At this time, Christopher pointed his finger at Charlie before he said with a dissatisfied expression on his face. “Your son-in-law is the owner of the biggest villa in Thompson First! You can ask him all about it!”Elaine and Jacob were dumbfounded at this time. After that, they stare at Charlie in astonishment before they asked in disbelief, “Charlie, is what your uncle said true? Are you really the owner

Wendy and Christopher could not accept this fact at all. It felt as though they were being slapped and humiliated in public! They really wanted to bury themselves in a hole right then.This was insane!Just then, an old man suddenly walked out of the villa.The old man walked towards Charlie before he asked in a respectful manner, “Hello, are you Mr. Wade?”Charlie nodded before he replied, “Yes, I am. May I know who you are?”The old man replied, “Hello, Mr. Wade. I am Mr. White’s butler and I am responsible for taking care of this villa. I am Barry Landon but you can call me Barry. I am in charge of the maintenance of the villa.”“Barry?” Wendy stared at him in shock as though she had just been electrocuted.Wasn’t Barry her fiancé, Gerald’s butler? Why was he here?Did this villa belong to the White family?If that was the case, then why was it given to Charlie?Wendy quickly asked, “Barry, what is going on? Does this villa belong to the White family?”Barry replied, “Yes

Jacob wasn't really concerned with the invitation. He wouldn't be going anyway, and he wouldn't tell Elaine about it.Right now, he had a question.After hanging up on Walker, he asked curiously, "A designated driver would be just a few dozen bucks at most. Why get Walker?"Mr. Bay sighed meaningfully. "Jacob, my boy—it's not just my job description you must handle when you succeed me. You must understand the unspoken rules of the workplace as well as interpersonal relationships."Raising his right index finger, he chuckled, "Earning the loyalty of subordinates is a science. But it has to be a carrot and stick—never just the carrot, while offering them chances to be of service.""Take Walker, for example. As his boss, buying him lunch is 5 points. Ask for a favor, but it's 50 points instead!""As a leader, you should also make sure to give requests that are reasonable. That way, they will consider you to be their ally, or soon enough.""People are strange that way—psychology sim

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…
