In truth, Charlie knew very well that the four men in front of him had to be from the Schulz family.Since the Schulz family had sent them here to perform such an important task today, this was sufficient to prove that these four men had to be confidants of the Schulz family.Therefore, Charlie wanted them to tell the whole story and expose the truth in front of the camera so that he could expose this video to the public.That way, the reputation of the Schulz family would be completely ruined.After all, the Schulz family had already betrayed Rosalie before. That incident had already damaged the Schulz family’s reputation and image greatly. Although Lord Schulz had finally made his eldest son, Sheldon, the scapegoat and pushed the blame and responsibility for that incident entirely on him, the entire Schulz family was still held accountable for that incident.If the truth behind this matter was exposed as well, and if the fact that the Schulz family did not only try to murder the
Immediately afterward, Matteo vomited and spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed in with dozens of his broken teeth. This was a very shocking scene, and the other three men by his side were all in shock at this time.They could not understand why the young man in front of them was suddenly so furious and angry.Was it because their captain, Matteo, was being too pretentious?Matteo was also shocked and dumbfounded. When he saw that there were no teeth left in his mouth, he was already on the verge of collapse as he cried out ambiguously, “You… you… you are really courting your own death. I… I am… I am… Eastcliff…”Charlie sneered as he interrupted him directly, “I know what you are going to say. Aren’t you going to tell me that you are working for the Schulz family from Eastcliff? Since you are bringing this matter up to me now, is it because you really thought that I would be afraid when I find out that you have the Schulz family backing you up?”Matteo had a look of astonishment on
As soon as Charlie said this, Matteo and the others could not help but tremble in fear in an instant!They could not understand why this man in front of them could be so vicious. They could not understand why he would want to torture them with African hyenas. Was he even human?! How could he possibly be so vicious and cruel?!As a result, one of the men could not bear it anymore, and he immediately cried out as he said, “I will speak up! I will tell you everything!”As soon as he spoke up, the other two men beside him also hurriedly expressed their stand as they said, “I will tell you everything too!”Charlie nodded in satisfaction as he said, “Well, since the three of you can have this kind of attitude, I will give you some time to explain everything to me in detail later.”After he was done speaking, Charlie looked at Matteo before he sneered and said, “It seems as though you are a very tough person who is firmly rooted to your own beliefs. I wonder if the African hyenas would b
As he spoke, Charlie had already raised his voice slightly as he reprimanded, “Does that old dog, Cadfan Schulz, have any sense of humanity at all? He is actually willing to create a terror attack with such huge repercussions just for his own benefits and just because of a small incident within his family? Doesn’t Cadfan Schulz have any respect for social security, the protection of properties, and the safety of the people in this country at all?”Matteo was shocked and dumbfounded when he heard Charlie’s words.‘This guy… what is this guy doing?! Does he really plan on offending the Schulz family?! He is putting all of the responsibility and blame on Lord Schulz’s shoulder now. As soon as this video is exposed… Lord Schulz will certainly become a lowly and despicable scumbag that is despised and looked down on by everyone all over the country, then!’‘At that time, the authorities from above will surely hold the Schulz family accountable, and they might even impose a severe punishm
Matteo was on the verge of collapse.He never expected Charlie to be so ruthless. Charlie was actually intending to use this incident to blow up the matter and ruin the image and reputation of Lord Schulz and the entire Schulz family.He could already foresee the passive situation and predicament that the Schulz family would be stuck in as soon as this incident was exposed!This could possibly be the biggest catastrophe that the Schulz family had ever encountered in decades!Matteo subconsciously said, “You… you cannot distort the truth like that!”Charlie sneered before he said, “You are still worrying about your master now? Don’t worry. I will certainly delete the part where you were trying to defend that old dog, Cadfan Schulz, just now before publishing the video. That way, you will have made a huge contribution to the downfall and collapse of the Schulz family’s reputation.”Matteo’s face turned pale in an instant.Charlie could not be bothered with him anymore, and he simp
At this time, Isaac, who was standing aside, asked, “Young Master, what should we do with the both of them now? Should we allow them to leave immediately after they recover, or…”Charlie waved his hand and said, “If I allowed them to leave this place completely unharmed and enter the public’s field of vision directly, the video that I have just filmed earlier will be completely meaningless, then. As long as both of them are alive and unharmed, this will not be a serious matter at all. In that case, the Schulz family will not be portrayed as that evil to the public’s eye.”After that, Charlie said, “Why don’t we do this instead. Bring both of them back to your hotel and put them under house arrest, just like Rosalie. They can eat and enjoy life to the fullest, but they are not allowed to communicate with anyone outside or leave their rooms at all!”“Okay!” Isaac nodded and asked, “Then, how are we going to get them out of this car wreck?”Charlie did not say anything, and he simply
At this moment, Sophie did not know whether this was reality, whether she was stuck in a dream, or whether this was all just her own wishful thinking as her soul was about to leave her body before she died.However, she could see Charlie’s face very clearly at this time.‘This is my benefactor who descended like a God-sent soldier and rescued me and my brother from the Japanese ninjas’ hands!’‘This is my benefactor who once scolded me on the streets of Tokyo, for being superficial and being unable to see the wider picture!’As she thought about this, Sophie subconsciously raised her hand, regardless of whether everything before her eyes was a dream or not.When Sophie’s somewhat cold fingertips touched Charlie’s side profile for a moment, she could not help but exclaim, “So… it feels so real…”Charlie was just about to place Sophie beside Helen, but he did not expect Sophie to wake up so suddenly. This really caught him by surprise.At this time, Sophie yelled excitedly, “Benef
He hurriedly opened the notification and found out that this was first-hand live data that had been released by the local media.One of the lanes leading into the tunnel had already been cleared, and the police had entered the scene immediately. After that, they had discovered the scene of the Rolls-Royce accident.Immediately afterward, they had also found Zakir, who had been shot through the back of his head. This immediately made them feel extremely frightened and nervous!They initially thought that Zakir had met with an accident. However, they really would not have expected that Zakir would have been shot to death!This immediately made things more complicated.Why was Zakir shot? Who would have shot him?!What was even more incomprehensible was the fact that the two hostages seemed to have disappeared and vanished into thin air!The report also stated the detailed disappearance of the hostages. According to the report, the police had found the blood and hair of the two hos
Jacob certainly left Charlie speechless—the man might get kicked out of the house, but he was more worried about his car.Sighing in exasperation, he told Jacob, "Look, if it fails, I won't be able to get you a nice place, let alone leave the Cullinan with you."Jacob blurted out, "But why—""Don't forget—I'm still living in this house even if you're gone!" Charlie explained, his expression dead serious. "If I let you have a nice place and the Cullinan, God knows how terrible a grudge your wife would hold against me. I need to have a sense of self-preservation too!""If I got you a rundown apartment, I could at least defend myself even if she gets upset about that. I mean, I can't let you sleep in the streets, can I? Claire and I would be guilty of abandoning our elders."Seeing the serious look on Charlie's face, Jacob breathed a long sigh as he clapped him on the shoulder, groaning mournfully, "Oh, I get it. I wouldn't want to upset Elaine if I were in your shoes too…"Charlie
Charlie sighed. "I told you it'd blow up, Dad, but you had to doubt me.""I wasn't doubting you," Jacob promptly defended himself. "I thought I might catch a lucky break—"Charlie cut him short, "Fair enough. Then, how are you going to handle this? I can try to stop Mom from going to that wedding and prevent her from getting in the hall even if she went, but what's going to happen to the both of you? Do you want a divorce or do you want to stay with her?"The light in Jacob's faded as he shrugged and sighed. "If I could divorce her, I would've—and I would be living happily with Matilda now. What company would I have if I did it now? Do you think Elaine would let me stay in Thompson First, with that attitude of hers?""In the end, I'd be chased out without a place to stay, and I can't suffer the humiliation of moving back with my mom and brother, can I? Hell, they might not even take me back!""So, that's a no?" Charlie pressed.Jacob smiled wryly. "At my age, even if I could, I w
Hearing that Elaine was threatening suicide, Claire exclaimed urgently, "Take me to her now!"The traffic police officer quickly nodded. "Come on!"As the traffic police officer quickly led Claire to Elaine, Charlie arrived just then and gave chase after leaving the luggage by the entrance.Stopping them, he asked, "Excuse me, officer—where's the gentleman who came with Madam Parker? May I see him?""And who are you?" The traffic police officer asked."I'm his son-in-law," Charlier replied. "I was thinking that while my wife talks to her mom, I can talk to my father-in-law, make peace, and take them both home.""Oh, that'd be great!"The traffic police officer exclaimed and quickly beckoned at a colleague, "Come over. Take this gentleman to Jacob Wilson!""Okay!" The other traffic police officer was also quite enthusiastic.Charlie entered the room where Jacob was first, immediately seeing a disfigured Jacob taking deep puffs of his cigarette.Another traffic police officer w
Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong
Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway
The traffic police officer smiled in exasperation. "Is there no getting through to you? You could even afford to drive a nice car, and you'd most likely survive an accident. But what if you were left bedridden for a long time? Yell at each other in the same hospital room?"Elaine waved him off. "I don't care—all I know is that I will always get my revenge, and on the spot if possible. If there were superheroes, I would be Wonder Woman!""Urgh…" The traffic police officer was utterly speechless. "How about this? We will call your daughter and have her come over to bail you. She will mediate your fight!"With those words, he returned Elaine's phone to her, and it happened to ring just then.It was a call from Claire.Seeing that the contact name said [Daughter], the traffic police officer quickly said, "Go on, answer it!"Elaine took it and answered the call, and Claire asked urgently before she could say a word, "Mom? Where are you? Where's Dad? Are you both alright?"Elaine sulk
While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w
However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you
The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,
