Chapter 2002

Author: Lord Leaf
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…”

    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

    Christopher’s eyes were flushed red as he said, “Mom, I’ll go out and work when I get better. Even if I have to go to the construction site and carry cement, I will make sure that I do everything possible to make money to make up for this family’s living expenses. I won’t allow you to go out and suffer and work so hard when you are already so old!”Harold also said vaguely, “Grandma, I’ll also go then!”Lady Wilson nodded before she said, “Both of you should focus on recuperating and recovering. After both of you get well, I’ll have to depend on you two to look after me and give me a proper burial after my death then!”As the Wilson family of four finally enjoyed a full meal, Hannah cried in her own room to the point that her face was covered in tears.As she was suffering from hunger and cold, Hannah did not only feel despair because of the Wilson family, but she had also made a decision in her heart to prepare to leave this place.She did not intend to stay in this house any lon

    Since Claire and Loreen had already known each other for so many years, Claire also had some understanding of her family situation. When she heard that Loreen was planning to bring her cousin here with her, she asked curiously, “Loreen, is Dylan the cousin that you’re referring to?”Loreen laughed slightly before she said, “Yes, that’s him.”“Ahhh?” Claire suddenly recalled the image of that good-for-nothing young man from a wealthy family and she asked in surprise, “What is your cousin doing in Aurous Hill?”Loreen replied, “After staying in Eastcliff for such a long time, he is always causing trouble there. So, he came to Aurous Hill to discipline himself for a while.”Claire asked in surprise, “Discipline himself? How is he going to discipline himself?”Loreen smiled before he said, “He’s going to practice a scanty livelihood. He is currently renting a place to live in Cliffcouls now and the living conditions aren’t that easy and it is really tough.”Claire could not help but

    After Loreen, who was sitting in the co-driver’s seat, hung up the phone with Claire, Dylan scowled miserably as he asked, “Loreen, can’t you go to Charlie’s house on your own? Why do you have to bring me along with you? I really don’t want to see his face for a minute at all.”When Loreen saw Dylan’s face which was filled with grievances, she could not help but ridiculed him as she said, “Brother, aren’t you being a little too timid and cowardly? I’m bringing you to Charlie’s house to send our New Year’s greetings. I’m not sending you there to fight with Charlie, so what are you afraid of?”Dylan sighed as he said, “Sigh. Loreen, you might not know this, but I’ve only met Charlie Wade twice in total and nothing good happens whenever I see him! The first time I met him, I had to swallow a necklace and undergo a surgery because of it. The second time I met him, he asked me to ride a bicycle all the way from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill. If he isn’t happy when I see him again this time, th

    Jacob's brain blanked out, leaving only a dull hum as soon as Walker mentioned 'Professor Hall'.Already feeling nervous in the first place, he quickly said, "Okay, okay—I got it. Anyway, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else!"With that, he promptly pressed the button to hang up.Nonetheless, Elaine was soon asking in curiosity, "Who's Professor Hall?"If Jacob had any semblance of composure, he would have said 'a colleague at Senior University' as if it was perfectly natural, and the matter would have been forgotten.But the reality was that he didn't—in fact, he was the champion when it came to dropping the ball as a casual question from Elaine left him sweating all over his brow.Even as he slid nervous glances at her face, he stammered uncontrollably, "N-Nobody…"Elaine promptly noticed his strange reaction and frowned. "I'm talking about Professor Hall. What do you mean, nobody? Who are they? And what's this about an invitation? Inviting you for what?"Seeing that he was

    Jacob had really had too much to drink and couldn't remember the later parts of what had happened last night—even how he had gotten home was a blur.Naturally, he also forgot that Walker had brought Matilda's wedding invitation, and therefore didn't hesitate to answer the in-car answer button.Over the phone, Walker was positively fawning as he asked, "Mr. Wilson? It's Walker. Why didn't you come in today? Had too much to drink last night?""Uh-huh," Jacob grunted, lethargic. "I did—my head still hurts now… Anyway, what's up? Trouble at the association?""No, of course not," Walker quickly said. "I was just worried you're still hungover, so I called to ask. If you need a driver or anything, you just need to ask!"Then, before Jacob could answer, he continued, "By the way, my wife is somewhat knowledgable in Oskian medicine, and she has recipes for brews that cure hangovers and nourish the liver. I'm sure you'll need the latter since you're always drinking at social events, so I as

    Fortunately, Elaine and Jacob's bickering never escalated.Even though Elaine was winning, Jacob found it tolerable.After Jacob finished his lunch and cleaned up, he never looked up as he said, "Charlie sent a text, saying Claire's flight would touch down earlier at three. We will leave at two."Elaine grumbled. "Why leave so early? She's coming back from abroad, and there'd be checkpoints she has to clear—she'd be lucky if she could leave by half past three. I'm sleeping a few winks now, and we'll leave at half past two."As she left the dining room, she didn't even look back as she said, "Clean up for me too."Jacob had a million complaints but said nothing as he kept his head down, throwing Elaine's lunchbox in the trash can as well.With Elaine gone, he sat on the couch as her hangover slowly cleared while his mood soured with the lack of alcohol.In the end, the pleasure of being fawned over at the Diamond Room was but temporary—the pain of his beloved leaving with someone

    Vera kept her plan to investigate the identity of the abbess deep in her mind and told Charlie nothing.Instead, she smiled as she said, "It seems that it's both yours and Ms. Ito's good fortune that she has attained enlightenment. You've never had anyone who could attain enlightenment and master Reiki at the same time, so Ms. Ito will definitely be a great help to you in the future."Charlie chuckled and said calmly, "I'm not hoping for her to help. I'm simply happy for her with her enlightenment and excited to have another comrade in my solo ventures into the dark forests."Vera nodded in understanding, and she murmured emotionally, "I've lived for so long, and it's only when I opened my heart to you that I felt that sensation you described."There was a flicker of wistfulness in her eyes.She really did not expect to attain enlightenment before meeting Charlie.Years ago, she thought that she would eventually avenge her father.Now, she no longer hoped to murder Fleur Griffi

    Vera was inwardly disappointed to hear that Claire was returning.That meant there were fewer chances of Charlie visiting the Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, as were her chances of seeing him again.Still, she didn't let it show, instead asking casually, "How are things at Champs Elys? Are the warriors improving at a rate to your satisfaction?""Well, most of everyone's improvement is within expectations…" Charlie explained, just as he remembered a certain someone. "By the way, there's something I haven't told you yet. Are you perhaps acquainted with the name Ito Nanako?""Yes," Vera smiled. "The Japanese lady who was with you. What about her?""She attained enlightenment days ago.""Enlightenment?" Vera did a double take and soon pressed, "Enlightenment in what sense? Essential Qi or Reiki?"After all, the former was the path to enlightenment in martial arts, while the latter meant enlightenment in cultivation.But despite the distinction between both domains, enlightenment was a comm

    While Charlie had long since gotten used to Elaine and Jacob's bizarre marriage, being near the heart of the storm still took a toll on his senses—to the point that he felt physically sick.Leaving right away was therefore his best solution.Once he left, however, he realized he didn't have anywhere to go. Champs Elys was quite far, and it would take a lot of time.As he started to feel bored stiff, he remembered Vera for some reason and called her.Once Vera answered, she quickly asked in curiosity, "To what do I owe the pleasure? Lunch, perhaps?"Charlie chuckled. "Since you've put it that way… I haven't eaten either, so lunch it is!"Vera giggled. "Come over to my place, then. It's cold outside, and I was just lighting up a hot pot. I'll have Madam Marilyn prepare an additional portion.""Okay!" Charlie agreed to it without hesitation. "I can return her car too. Just wait, I'll be right there!"Once he hung up, he got on the Rolls Roycs he had borrowed from Scarlet Pinnacl

    Charlie shook his head. "It's alright, Dad. You can go ahead if you're busy—I can pick up Claire on my own.""No way!" Elaine promptly snapped. "It's been so long since she came back. We are all going to the airport!"Jacob sighed in exasperation. "Well, I'm sticking to my schedule—first the Calligraphy and Painting Association, then I'll be back an hour before to pick you guys up before going together to the airport."Elaine was left fuming. "Is there no getting through to you? You really have to go to that stupid association, don't you? Okay, fine. If you must go, I will be going with you!""You're their honored vice president who will be promoted to president soon, no? As Mrs. Vice President and the future Mrs. President, is there an issue if I went for a look?"Jacob shuddered at the thought of Elaine going to the Calligraphy and Painting Association as he absolutely didn't want her to humiliate him with her antics. People would talk, asking how a proper gentleman like him c

    Jacob yawned, stretching his arms and smacking his cheeks, before finally retorting in contempt, "For Pete's sake, woman—don't make dissing me a habit. Or does it please you so much?"Elaine pursed her lips. "You call that dissing? It's all facts—do you think I don't know you? Tell me, what qualifications do you have? Your knowledge about calligraphy is skin-deep, and even the frauds working on Antique Street could beat you.""Only you would have the audacity to take the role of vice president at the Calligraphy and Painting Association—heaven's above, how blind is the president to appoint you as his second fiddle? Still, you'll be packing your things as soon as he realizes the truth.""Oh, Elaine, poor Elaine…" Jacob grinned smugly at her right then. "I'm afraid things won't go the way you want. Mr. Bay's been chasing a promotion lately, and once he gets it, I will take his place as president. That means I'll be the top dog instead of second fiddle!""Bullshit!" Elaine snapped in

    Jacob slept in the next day while Elaine got out of bed past ten as well.However, in the case of the latter, she wasn't drunk and was simply watching livestreams and video clips on her phone—a hobby she had picked up recently.As for Charlie, he had initially planned to visit the Champs Elys hot spring villa and train Nanako in her Reiki control. However, since Claire would be arriving in the afternoon, he stayed home, planning to leave for the airport when it was time.Elaine appeared groggy as she emerged from the elevator, rubbing her eyes while holding her phone in the other hand.Seeing Charlie cleaning the living room, she asked in curiosity, "Not going out today, Charlie? Aren't you usually going out to meet clients?"Then, she became concerned in an instant, "Wait, don't tell me—the Feng Shui business is falling off? Are we going to be affected altogether?"Charlie laughed. "You're just getting paranoid now. Things are going fine—I'm just giving myself a day's leave.""
