Chapter 1999

Author: Lord Leaf
When Hannah heard that Wendy was willing to be Charlie’s concubine, she felt anxious.

She blurted out, “Wendy, have you lost your mind? Why must you be that loser’s concubine? He’s no match for you!”

Wendy sighed, then said softly, “Mother, to be honest, Charlie isn’t bad. He is handsome, responsible, and has a good personality. He’s way better than Gerald.”

“Ridiculous!” Hannah glared at her before blurting out, “That loser is no match for you in any way!”

Wendy smiled bitterly, “In these years, my situation cannot be any worse. I’ve fallen from being a phoenix to becoming a chicken now.”

Speaking of this, Wendy couldn’t help but sobbed, “Mother, look at me. My reputation is gone. No guys will bother to give me even a single glance…”

Seeing Wendy’s tears streamed down on her face, Hannah embraced her head into her arm and comforted her, “My lovely daughter, we shouldn’t think this way. What is reputation? Isn’t staying alive more important than anything e

    “Others might still have chosen a loser as a life long partner even after taking into various considerations, worries and possibilities.”   “Nonetheless, for Claire, she accepted what may come from God and thus, she was married to the loser…”   “Who would’ve thought a loser will turn into a phoenix someday later…”   Wendy nodded, then said seriously, “Someday, I’ll get closer to Charlie regardless of how he may despise me. He may more or less be able to lend us a helping hand. Unlike the outsiders, no one is as good as Charlie…”   Hannah sighed, then said, “It’s up to you. I had overreacted just now and now I’m starving. Please help me into the house so I can lie down for a bit. We’ll have our meals after your grandma returns.”***   Lady Wilson had been pulling the plastic bags for the customers at the supermarket for an entire day.   The supermarket was equipped with big rolls of plastic bags. One pull of the plastic bag would instantly generate static electricity.

    Lady Wilson had never experienced a day like this before, where she was extremely excited over a meal.  She did according to what the foreman said. So, she worked hard till seven o’clock and finally, she received her dream meal coupon.  Despite the full lunch, Lady Wilson wolfed the food down as if she had starved for three days. She filled herself up to the point where she could hardly stand up.   When she could no longer continue to eat, she rested in place for about half an hour. After that, she forced herself up with two hands clutching the table.  She felt energetic after sufficient food and drink.  Lady Wilson wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, then touched her belly with her palm. She sighed in satisfaction, thinking, Never thought the food would taste so good after so much hard work is put forth. Finally, I have had sufficient food to satisfy my hunger!  She then checked her time and realized it was already past eight. She then quickly went home.  Despite

    How she wished Elaine was indeed as pitiful as how she had described her! In fact, the more pitiful was Elaine, the better!   Nonetheless, the caterer didn’t know she was lying at all.  Who would have thought any ordinary old lady would curse her own family members out of the blue? Therefore, the caterer believed everything that came from her mouth was true.  She replied with sympathy, “No wonder you still have to work outside at such an old age. It must be very tough for you to have experienced all those misfortunes in your family!”  She then said, “Old lady, there’re still some leftovers of about seven to eight steamed buns and the portion of remaining rice is sufficient for four people. Also, there are some remnants of dishes. Do you have any containers? I’ll pack for you to bring home!”  Lady Wilson felt very excited, yet, she calmed herself and said melancholically, “How can I afford any containers? Both my daughters-in-laws are barely surviving due to starvation…”She

    Lady Wilson had never thought that she would be slapped by a stranger after one whole day of hard work and hardship.   After the lady slapped her, she continued to scold her, “D*mn old lady! How dare you pretend to be a resident at Thompson First when you’re now eating disgusting leftovers! Crazy woman!”  She then yelled at a security guard who was nearby, “You come over here right now! Aren’t you blinded? I’ve spent twenty million for a house here and this is the attitude you show us? Who’ll protect the interests and feelings of the landlords if this messy old woman, who is worse than pigs and dogs, is allowed to get in here?”   The security guard felt nervous too.   Lady Wilson looked haggard and tired, unlike the typical wealthy old lady.   Besides, the leftovers such as steamed buns, rice, and messy remnants of dishes inside the four big plastic bags were totally inconsistent with the characteristics of the residents of Thompson First.   He then said hurriedly to

    Therefore, she knew very well in her heart that anyone who could live in a series A villa would be much more powerful than her.   As she recalled the slap given to the old lady just now, she was so terrified.   She thought anxiously in her heart, I’m finished! This is disastrous! Who would’ve thought that this old lady isn’t that simple! I slapped her just now. If she wants to find fault with me, won’t I be in deep trouble?!   The security guard was also trembling with fear.  What happened? Is this old lady really a resident of Thompson First villa? Why didn’t I have any impression of her?  Moreover, those who live in the villa are filthy rich. If this old lady is so rich, with such capability and background, why would she take bags of leftover food back to Thompson First?   Is it the trend now for rich people to eat swill hogwash?  Lady Wilson furiously asked the woman, “Open your bloody eyes and see carefully! Do I look like a resident of A04 to you now?!”

    Upon seeing Jacob run away, Lady Wilson was enraged.She thought to herself furiously, How could I have a son like him, who didn’t even bother when his own mother was slapped?! Is he heartless? What a beast!   Little did she know the woman right in front of her was already nearly scared to death!She did not know that Jacob and Lady Wilson’s relationship had soured. She only knew that they were both mother and son.   She thought with horror to herself, Despite being from the same family, they’re staying separately in two villas, one in A04 and another in A05. I wonder how wealthy this family is? How much support do they have behind them?   Thinking of this, she felt extremely regretful for finding fault with the old lady.   She immediately lowered her head and offered her apologies. “I’m very sorry, old lady. I’ve never thought you’re a tenant of the villa residential area. I ask for your forgiveness for my recklessness just now…”  Lady Wilson scolded angrily, “Do you

    She thought to herself, This slap earned me one hundred dollars, which is more cost-effective than working for a whole day!So, she suppressed her inner excitement and replied, “Okay, let’s just forget about this matter. Next time, remember not to judge a book by its cover and look down on others!”  The opposite party immediately nodded with respect and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll remember…”***   While Lady Wilson held the two hundred Oskian dollar notes and carried the four big bags into the house, the smell of food had permeated the house.   Jennifer and two others were the ones who had cooked.   They were cleaners at the supermarket today and since the pay was one hundred Oskian dollars per day, it would total up to three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars for three people.   Nowadays, with three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars, the three of them could go to a restaurant to have a normal meal.  But they carefully used three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars to cook

    Hannah had never thought that Lady Wilson would fall out with her.   Seeing her carrying many plastic bags filled with food, she said aggrievedly, “Mother, since you’ve brought back so much good food, let me take a few bites. After all, I’ve starved for a long time…”   Lady Wilson snorted, “Go get a job to feed yourself. How shameless of you to ask an elderly like me to feed you!”  Hannah nervously blurted out, “That’s all Jacob’s fault! Otherwise, I would’ve earned more than you by working as a cashier!”   Lady Wilson pouted and said, “All these are none of my business. The money you earn belongs to yourself while the money I earn is mine. We shan’t take advantage of each other. As such, don’t you ever think of taking in my meals. Go work outside and earn your own meal!”  Hannah glared at her furiously. Then, she blurted out, “Old lady, are you throwing stones at me who has fallen into a well? If you insist, I’ll leave this house!”   Lady Wilson laughed and clapped h

    Julien shook his head and gingerly asked, "Jordan Fox likes his granddaughter?"Charlie smiled, shaking his head. "And your father doesn't like you as his eldest? Admiration is no guarantee of inheritance. And if we're talking about love, is it not a gesture of love that he provided you with endless cash and a life of privilege that only the world's top one percent can enjoy?"Julien also noticed the flaw in his logic. "Then, do you perchance know why, Mr. Wade?"Charlie nodded. "Jordan granted his position to Kathleen because that was the condition I proposed to him in return for prolonging his life. No succession, no pills—no matter how much he was willing to pay me for it."Then, Charlie looked Julien straight in the eye as he continued solemnly, "If the day comes and I find you more reliable, I will choose you as the sole broker for your father's pills. Just think about it—if the day comes that you're the only person your father can get his pills from, would he say no if you as

    Charlie chuckled. "You might think that I'm screwing you over, but in reality, I'm indirectly solidifying your place as heir apparent. From what I've learned, your family has not confirmed who it would be."Julien chuckled awkwardly. "You're right, but I am now. With the pills you've provided, however, my father might live longer than me…"Charlie nodded. "Since we have the fortune of meeting over drinks, I shall cut to the chase—to me, it doesn't matter who between you or your father lives longer. My priority is with whom I could hope for a better partnership."And right now, your father has shown more sincerity than you have, which was why I asked Helena to provide him with my pills."Pausing, Charlie then asked, "Are you aware of your father's recent activities? In Northern Europe?""A little," Julien replied. "A data center or something along those lines."Charlie nodded again. "See, I've asked Helena to make him a new offer—I will provide him with one pill should he build an

    Charlie had actually invited Julien over to bring him aboard his metaphorical ship.While not particularly down-to-earth, Julien was still the second most important figure in the Rothschild family, and having him on board wouldn't hurt.Moreover, just having drinks with Charlie and Raymond here basically told everyone they were friends. If Harrison knew that Julien was meeting the son of Curtis Wade as well as 'Biden Cole', who had taken the Four-Sided Treasure Tower from the Rothstchilds, he just might have Julien shot.While Julien may not become the head of the Rothschild family anytime soon, he would prove very useful.With Helena basically controlling Harrison and Charlie himself controlling Julien, traveling Stateside would be no different from going home."It seems I must reevaluate my opinion of you now with that attitude."Charlie smiled at Julien and raised his cup, "Come, let's have a toast—to friendship."Julien nodded, picked up his cup, exclaiming cheerfully, "To f

    Pausing, Julien then said, "I mostly drink wine and the occasional whiskey.""How much are those, usually?" Raymond asked.Julien thought about it. "If it's table wine, 10,000 to 50,000 USD. For bigger occasions, it'd be something over a hundred thousand."Raymond nodded and pointed at the bottle of Oskian vodka he had bought. "Guess how much that is?"Julein shook his head. "I don't usually drink Oskian alcohol, so I'm not too sure…""Come on," Charlie chuckled. "We're not asking if you know—we're just asking you to take a guess.""Then…" Julien quickly said. "I'm guessing, three thousand?""Three thousand?" Raymond chuckled and shook his head. "That's way too flattering. It's around 7 USD.""Seven bucks?!" Julien exclaimed, and he blurted, "You usually drink something that cheap, Mr. Cole?""Well, not stateside," Raymond smiled. "But I liked it after I ordered one from a diner yesterday. It's cheap, and it has quality."Julien gulped as he stared at his own cup filled to th

    Julien flinched and promptly threw his hands up. "No, no, no… please don't say that, Mr. Wade! That's not what I mean—as a son, it's only right that I hope my father lives long and prospers. Why wouldn't I want him to?"Charlie pointed out, "Then why'd you say that I've screwed you over repeatedly?""Oh. I, uh…" Julien wasn't sure how to respond to that, and he groaned unhappily, "I was not being mindful with words. I take that back…" Charlie nodded. "Then, I'll give you another chance.""Huh?" Julien was left confused, and he quickly asked, "Another chance… for what?"Charlie clapped him on the shoulder again, smiling, "We're old friends, aren't we? Why would I screw you over? Anyway, your turn."Julien was left utterly aggrieved as he read through Charlie's intention—that was precisely the definition of screwing him over!If his father knew he had come to Aurous Hill to hang out with these two, especially Biden Cole, he would definitely be removed as heir! And yet, Charlie

    Having seen a sliver of the common folk's plight, Julien turned back to the journey at hand.Soon, his MPV arrived at Aurous Hill's Antique Street.As it was closing hours, the place appeared bleak, almost as though it had been completely abandoned. It was only during opening hours and the few hours before closing that the place became most alive anyway.Most of the time, the vendors and employees outnumbered the guests, and during closing hours, it would get very quiet. One wouldn't even find strays here as there weren't scraps around.Still, Julien had no idea what the hell the place was, even as he arrived outside Treasure Measure following the location Charlie had sent.Once he was sure he was at the right place, he called Charlie, immediately sounding respectful and flattering, "I'm here, Mr. Wade. If you don't mind opening the door…""Alright, just hang on," Charlie said and put down the phone while turning to Raymond, who was putting the food on a folding table, "Our frien

    The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What

    At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav

    The cabbie nodded. "Well, Talbot Associates, it is! They're said to be number two."-While Jacob was heading off to consult a law firm, Charlie was calling Julien Rothschild over the phone.The manchild had just had room service and was lounging on the couch, fiddling with his phone.After visiting the kennels with Charlie, he had been idling his days away at the hotel, waiting for Salem and his son to post that video of them being out at sea.Once that was done, Julien would return to the States, once more the heir apparent of the Rothschilds. Still, it was boring to simply lounge around in the hotel, and he would really like to strengthen his ties with Charlie.However, he was also afraid of being too forward as Charlie could be intimidating, and he could upset him—just like a fan eager to get close to their idol but was still worried about their idol getting disgusted with them.As such, he never expected Charlie to call him, and he immediately answered eagerly, "Good even
