Chapter 1874

Author: Lord Leaf
Isaac was following closely beside Carmen with a very respectful attitude.

When Charlie was still a few metres away from her, Carmen smiled and said, “Oh, Charlie! I have not seen you for so many years. You have grown up into such a fine young boy now!”

Charlie looked at Carmen and he could recall some remnants of the memories that he had from his childhood by looking at her face.

So, Charlie laughed slightly before he said, “I’m going to be twenty-seven years old soon. I’m no longer a young boy!”

Carmen had a very doting and affectionate look on her face as she smiled and said, “Oh! You really look so much like your father! You are really a chip off the old block!”

Charlie nodded before he smiled and said, “Aunt, it seems as though you’ve not changed much from how you were in the past.”

Carmen laughed before she said, “More than ten to twenty years have already passed by in the blink of an eye. I’m about to turn fifty soon, so how can I possibly still look the same as I was befo

    “Go home to take a look?”Charlie could not help but laughed when he heard Carmen’s words.When Carmen saw the fake laughter on his face, she said, “Charlie, you left home when you were so young, so it’s about time that you come home now. You aren’t young anymore. You’ve already been away from home for so many years, so it’s about time for you to come home and take a look.”Charlie nodded in agreement as he said, “You’re right. Since I’ve already left home for such a long time, I should really make some time to go back and have a look then.”As he spoke, he smiled before he said, “Well, if that is the case, then I’ll arrange a time at a later date. I will go back and visit home if I have time.”Charlie seemed to have already agreed to Carmen’s proposal, but in fact, he was simply trying to delay time.If he were to say that he was going to arrange a time to pay a visit after a period of time, then that was basically tantamount to the far and distant future. Anyway, he simply want

    As she spoke, Carmen stretched out one finger before she said arrogantly, “First of all, regarding Emgrand Group, when the time comes, you can continue to ask Doris to continue helping you look after the company. We’ve already investigated and looked into Doris’s background and she is a pretty capable person. During this period of time, Emgrand Group has developed and grown well in her hands. So, you can feel rest assured to hand the group over to her.”After that, Carmen lifted another finger before she said, “Secondly, you will have to deal with your current wife, Claire, and her family. We have also investigated and looked into the current situation and background of the Wilson family. To be honest, this kind of family is worth nothing at all to the Wade family. The Wilson family is not worthy of anything at all. So, how can they possibly be the Wade family’s in-laws?”Carmen had a disgusted look on her face at this time as she said, “So, I would advise you to divorce Claire as so

    Carmen never expected that Charlie would dare to talk to her like that!Moreover, when she heard him say that he had the right to inherit a quarter of the Wade family’s assets, she was enraged in an instant!Thus, she shouted sternly, “B*stard! You think too highly of yourself! Inheriting a quarter of the Wade family’s assets?! Who do you think you are?!”Charlie said in a cold voice, “I am Charlie Wade, and my father is Curtis Wade!”Carmen rebuked, “Your father has been dead for so many years, besides, do you think you have what it takes to inherit the Wade family assets? Dream on! You don’t deserve a penny of it!”Charlie stared at Carmen and laughed coldly. “For how my father fought for the Wade family back then, he should even be the patriarch of the family! You, on the other hand, have absolutely no say in this. According to the rules of the big families, a married daughter no longer has business with her maiden family. Since you have already married, you are no longer a mem

    Carmen thought that her threat had successfully made Charlie yield. Thus, she immediately sneered, “First, divorce your wife of unimportant origin. Then, return to the Wade family at your grandfather’s command. Now, Yule Golding has unified the Golding family, and his control over the entire Golding family has reached an unprecedented peak. You and his daughter were engaged. If you marry his daughter, it will be of great help to the Wade family.”Then, she added, “Otherwise, you can also try to win the heart of the eldest granddaughter of the Schulz family, that is, Sheldon’s daughter. She is very favored in the family, moreover, her mother was one of your father’s suitors. She may adore you just like how she loved your father, so she may be willing to let her daughter marry you, and it will be of greater help to the Wade family!”“Therefore, after you divorce your wife, first try your luck in pursuing the Schulz girl. If you guys hit it off, marry her. If not, marry Yule Golding’s d

    Seeing Charlie leave without hesitation, Carmen screamed in anger, “Charlie! I haven’t even finished talking yet, how dare you leave now! I’m your aunt! I’ll make you pay for being so disrespectful to me!”Charlie ignored her.In his opinion, this aunt of his was just a spoiled, foolish woman who grew up in a lenient and wealthy upbringing. She would always be so pompous and cocky, bossing people around. Although she was here for an official business on the order of Lord Wade, she only cared about her own larger-than-life reputation. Such a person would hardly become important even in the Wade family.Therefore, Charlie saw no reason to waste his time with her.After exiting the door, he immediately left Sky Garden. Isaac hurried forward and said nervously, “Mr. Charlie, why are you doing this to yourself? It will do you no good if Miss Carmen complains to Lord Wade later!”“So what?” Charlie grunted, “Even if she is a member of the Wade family, she is nothing but Lord Wade’s mess

    The steak and cutlery were scattered all over the floor as Carmen had swept them all off the table.As there were many broken pieces of glass on the floor, the female foreman of the Sky Garden was afraid that Carmen might hurt herself, so she hurriedly ushered two waitresses to clean up the mess.As Carmen was still in the spur of the moment, she was infuriated when she saw the foreman approaching her with the two waitresses, so she grabbed one of the waitresses and started slapping her face while cursing indignantly, “Did I ask you to come? Did I call for you?”The girl was crying and begging as she was slapped several times, “I’m sorry, Miss Carmen, please forgive me. I was afraid that you would cut yourself, so I’m here to clean up the broken glass…”Becoming even more infuriated, Carmen increased her strength as she started slapping the girl once again and shouted, “B*stard! Only come when I ask you to come! Don’t even let me see your face if I never call for you!”The foreman

    As soon as Carmen had left, Isaaz hurriedly asked the three employees, “What the hell just happened?!”Lizzy choked, “Mr. Cameron, Miss Carmen got angry and flipped the table, so Nancy brought us over to clean up the mess, but suddenly, Miss Carmen slapped us and even kicked Nancy in the stomach. Nancy is pregnant! I wanted to call the ambulance, but Miss Carmen smashed my phone…”Nancy, who was sitting on the floor in great pain, said, “Mr. Cameron, it’s all my fault. Please don’t punish them, punish me alone!”Isaac sighed and said, “No, I’m to blame for this. I didn’t manage to protect you all. I’ll have someone send you all to the hospital immediately, and I’ll give you a month’s leave and two hundred thousand each as compensation for your injuries.”Then, he looked at Nancy sitting on the floor and said seriously, “Nancy, I will contact the best gynecologist in Aurous Hill to check on you and your baby. I’ll ensure that the baby is okay at all costs. If the baby is okay, I wil

    “That’s not good!” Elaine said stubbornly, “Those green hats are my ultimate weapons against the Wilson family. I want them to remember every single day that Hannah was pregnant with an illegitimate child!” Suddenly, Elaine thought of something. She laughed and said, “Hey, I’ll hang these lanterns and green hats next to each other in a while. When the lanterns are switched on, they will be in contrast with the green hats. It’s absolutely striking! This will certainly drive the Wilson family mad!”  Claire advised her, “Mum, it’s the New Year. Let us forgive others!”Elaine quipped, “Don’t you advise me. It’s no use advising me. Don’t you know that my leg was broken by your grandma? And my two lost teeth were also because of her?! I’ll never forgive her for this matter!”   Seeing her mom’s determined face, Claire felt helpless. It was impossible to change mom’s decision.   Having said her piece, Elaine carried a bunch of red lanterns by herself and walked toward the elev

    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…
