Chapter 2016

Author: Lord Leaf
After that, the police officer said again, “Madam, if your daughter-in-law only stole two hundred dollars from you, we really cannot file a case on this matter. You can only blame her for stealing too little. If she secretly stole your television to sell it off, based on the price of the television at the time the television was purchased, that would be sufficient for us to file a theft case against her. However, she did not steal your television at all!”

The police officer was simply using a television as an analogy. However, at this time, Lady Wilson suddenly thought of the television set in Donald’s villa that she had sold together with Harold and Christopher. She was shocked, and she suddenly asked nervously, “Officer, if someone stole a television that is worth one hundred thousand dollars, what kind of sentence would that person receive?”

The police officer replied seriously, “If the television was really worth one hundred thousand dollars, that would already be an extremely bi

    At this time, when Elaine, who was standing on the balcony on the third floor, saw Lady Wilson asking Wendy to send the group of police officers off, she grinned as she said, “Oh! Old lady, weren’t you planning to call the police to arrest your eldest daughter-in-law? Why? Has your heart gone soft again? It seems as though you really seem to have a soft spot for your eldest daughter-in-law!”Lady Wilson was already feeling very uncomfortable at this time. Therefore, when she heard Elaine chattering on the other side, she instantly got angry and frustrated, and she started cursing, “Elaine, my family’s affairs have nothing to do with you. Stop chirping all day and being so annoying here.”“Oh! You think that I am annoying?” Elaine sneered as she said, “Don’t live next door to our house if you think that I am annoying!”As she spoke, Elaine sneered as she said, “Yesterday, I heard Jacob saying that you got a job at the supermarket now? That’s not bad, old lady. You have not done anyth

    Elaine smiled as she said, “Silly girl! I was just lying to her. Where could I possibly buy any Oskian breakfast food during the New Year? Besides, I don’t even know how to cook those dishes at all. I was just trying to make that bad old woman angry!”Elaine continued speaking, “You might not know it, but your grandmother really enjoys eating Oskian breakfast food. She would always go to the teahouse for the entire morning just to enjoy some good Oskian breakfast food. Every time she goes there, she would always eat an extremely hearty meal like a queen! She would order a whole table full of food each time. Now that she has already fallen into poverty, why wouldn’t I take advantage of this situation to stimulate her and criticize her, then?”Claire sighed helplessly as she said, “Mom, don’t you think that it is about time for you to let go of the grudge between you and grandma now? She is already so old. So, you should not continue to argue with her like that anymore.”Elaine replie

    Charlie never expected Elaine to be able to judge Loreen so accurately.In truth, Charlie had already guessed her true motive when Loreen initially arrived at the Emgrand Group.It had to be because the Thomas family had heard the news that the Wade family had arranged for a descendant to be in Aurous Hill, and they had even bought the Emgrand Group as a gift for that descendant. Therefore, the Thomas family must have felt that this was the perfect opportunity for them to get ahead of everyone else. This was the reason why they arranged for Loreen to work in the Emgrand Group.Charlie had initially planned to prevent Loreen from being able to contact him during her time in the Emgrand Group. If that was the case, if she failed to encounter him even after a long time, Charlie believed that she would certainly leave Aurous Hill soon.However, who would have expected Loreen to fall in love with Charlie instead?Therefore, from the moment Loreen had confessed her love to Charlie, he a

    Claire laughed as she said, “Mom, the more you talk about it, the more incredulous your story sounds! You are even talking about digging tunnels now! Do you really think that you are Captain Mojin?”When Elaine saw that Claire did not seem to believe in anything that she was saying at all, she could not help but blurt out anxiously, “Seriously, Claire! Why don’t you believe anything I say? Over the years, many tombs have opened up near my grandmother’s house. A particularly famous tomb, the Halchester Tomb, was unearthed not too far away from my grandmother’s house. Have you heard of the Halchester Tomb before?”Claire nodded before she said, “I heard that it seems to be a very important archaeological discovery in history. What is wrong with this tomb?”“What is wrong with this tomb?!” Elaine hummed as she said, “Let me tell you, the reason why this tomb was eventually discovered by the cultural relics department, was because when the tomb robbers were trying to dig a tunnel, they

    When Charlie heard Claire’s ridicule, he felt a thump in his heart.He was really afraid that if his mother-in-law and wife had nothing better to do, they would continue reasoning with one another before finally revealing his true identity.Therefore, Charlie could not help but feel a little nervous when Claire placed her doubts directly on him.At this time, Elaine waved her hand before she looked at Charlie. After that, she said with a flattering smile, “Claire, I think that what you just said is very unlikely. Although my good son-in-law is a very promising young man now, this is also a pretty recent matter. When Loreen came to Aurous Hill, my good son-in-law had not achieved any great things yet. Have you already forgotten that during that time, even that cowardly and spineless Harold actually dared to provoke and annoy my good son-in-law?”Claire smiled helplessly before she said, “Then, I truly do not know what kind of great treasure you are talking about.”Elaine smiled as

    As he thought about this, he immediately told Charlie, “Mr. Wade, I am so sorry, but I got delayed on the road for a few days. That is the reason why I was late…”Claire, Jacob, and Elaine were even more surprised at this time.Why was Dylan apologizing to Charlie? Did they know each other?When he saw the surprised look on his family members’ faces, Charlie smiled slightly as he hurriedly said, “Mr. Koch, you are being too polite. Since I said that I will invite you to dinner, no matter whether you are early or late, I will still honor my promise to you.”Dylan was taken aback for a moment because he could not understand why Charlie was suddenly being so polite to him.After that, he suddenly realized that he might have said the wrong things.Charlie probably did not want his family to find out about this conflict with him.Therefore, Dylan hurriedly acted accordingly to Charlie’s words before he continued saying, “If that is the case, I would like to thank Mr. Wade in advance.

    “Doris Young?!”After hearing Doris’s name, only then did Jacob realize that the beautiful and sexy lady he saw in the video was actually the vice chairperson of Emgrand Group, who came to his daughter’s studio to congratulate on its commencement.Jacob was left dumbfounded.Afterall, Doris, who was the vice chairperson of Emgrand Group and a business elite in Aurous Hill, had great reputation all over Aurous Hill.Furthermore, Jacob also knew that Emgrand Group gave Claire a lot of renovation businesses, and they were literally bread and butter of her career.However, he really did not expect that Doris would take initiative to visit his house. Therefore, Jacob hurriedly said to Claire, “Claire! Quickly! Emgrand Group’s vice chairperson, Doris Young is here!”“Ah?” Claire was astonished, and immediately said with a slight nervous tone, “Why is Miss Young here…… I will open the door for her!”Loreen was also surprised.Although Doris’s value was incomparable with Loreen, after

    Doris hurriedly replied, “Hello, Mr. Wade…”At this moment, Loreen stood up and spoke with an awkward tone, “Hello Miss Young…”Only now did Doris notice Loreen and said with surprise, “Oh? You’re here too, Loreen? Did you not go home?”Loreen said with an unnatural tone, “Um… I will have to head over to the airport in a while.”The moment Dylan who was standing aside saw Doris, a flash of affection was visible in his eyes. He had seen a lot of beautiful girls, but he had never seen a white-collar beauty with such captivating elegance and exquisiteness. Therefore, his heart immediately palpitated with eagerness.Subconsciously, he stood up and asked Loreen, “Loreen, why haven’t you introduced this beautiful lady yet?”Loreen immediately began introducing. “Oh yea, Miss Young. Let me introduce you to my cousin, Dylan.”Soon after, she turned to Dylan and said, “Cousin, this is our Emgrand Group’s vice chairperson, Miss Young.”Dylan stretched out his hand right away and said i

    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.""
