“What?!” Claire shrieked in panic. “How’s Dad? Where are you now?”Elaine’s trembling voice echoed with a mixture of shock and sobbing. “We’re at Silverwing Hospital. Your dad was unconscious after the accident, come here quick!”Never did Claire expect to receive such bad news when she was celebrating the grand opening with joy…She cried into the phone, “Okay, I’ll go there right now!”Charlie heard the conversation clearly and realized the seriousness of the matter. He turned to the guests and said, “I’m sorry guys, Claire and I have to leave immediately. Please make yourself comfortable here!”Under normal circumstances, it would be rude for the host to leave the guests aside, but since these people were Charlie’s fans, they didn’t mind it.Hence, Charlie drove his wife straight to the hospital.After he parked the car at the parking spot, they quickly went straight to the ICU. They pushed the ward door open and saw Jacob lying on the bed with his eyes closed tightly. He w

Elaine looked very pale and shocked. She said, “Oh, I’m fine, my head simply hurts a little. The doctor checked on me and he said that I’m okay, it’s just that your father…the truck had hit his side…”She wailed loudly.It was a fatal blow to her that her husband might end up being permanently quadriplegic.After a thorough investigation, Charlie discovered that the muck truck had already escaped after the accident. Elaine and Jacob were unconscious after being hit by the truck, so they couldn’t see the truck’s license plate nor any significant feature of the truck.Later, they were sent to the hospital by Good Samaritans.Elaine’s situation was slightly better. She was sitting in the front passenger seat at the time, so she was unconscious after the accident and suffered some bruises and minor injuries. She woke up after arriving at the hospital.Jacob, on the other hand, was unlucky. Sitting in the driver’s seat, he suffered a major impact as the truck had hit his side and he e

As soon as Elaine heard that Jason had brought a renowned doctor to their ward, she shrieked in excitement and said, “Oh, Jason, thank you so much! Thank you for coming, Dr. Lynch!”Jason smiled lightly and said, “You’re welcome, I’m just offering some help whenever I can.”Then, he turned and respectfully said to Joshua behind him, “Dr. Lynch, this is Uncle Jacob, please check on him.”Joshua stepped forward and said in a confident tone, “Don’t worry, he hurt his spine, didn’t he? Although it sounds like a horrible injury, I can assure you it’s a piece of cake for me.”The doctor gasped in surprise. “As far as I’m concerned, no one can cure spinal injuries. Even the richest people in the world can only lie on the bed after they have injured their spine. Just look at Stephen Hawking—he is so bright and awesome, but he’s only able to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life and can only move three fingers due to motor neuron disease. Why are you so confident?”Joshua laughed an

Elaine’s face twisted into a disdainful grimace and she shouted, “Charlie, just shut up, you loser! Who do you think you are?! You have no say in this!”She shot daggers at Charlie and growled, “Stop messing with Dr. Lynch’s treatment. Get out!”Charlie frowned in dismay.At the same time, he thought, ‘Could it be that Joshua was the first to buy the pill from Zachary? If so, he must be the one who sold the pill to Anthony Simmons for five million dollars, that dishonest and profiteering prick!’Jason must have spent a lot of money to hire him.At this moment, Jason sneered, thinking that he had something on Charlie, “Charlie, you deadbeat loser. You must be pretty good with your mouth, huh, since there’s absolutely nothing you can do here? You and your bluff!”Then, he slapped his hands together as if something struck his mind and said, “Oh, I get it! You questioned Dr. Lynch because you don’t want Uncle Jacob to get better!”“Huh, I’m bluffing?”Charlie could endure Elaine’s

Following the direction of the sound, everyone looked towards the door and saw a middle-aged man in a smart suit walking into the ward. Jason and Dr. Lynch freaked out as soon as they saw the man, their faces turning green and their mouths wide agape.He was the dignified king of Aurous Hill’s underworld, Don Albert Rhodes!What the hell was going on?!Why was he here?Before Jason and Dr. Lynch could react to his appearance, the next scene made them dumbfounded as if they had been struck by lightning!A group of people barged into the room like a SWAT team. They were Doris Young, Zeke White, Graham Quinton, Travis Lane, Anthony Simmons, and so on! These people were prominent figures in Aurous Hill and Lancaster! They walked directly to Charlie, bowed and greeted respectfully, “Master Wade!”Charlie asked curiously, “Why are all of you here?”Don Albert answered, “Master Wade, we came as soon as we heard about your father-in-law’s accident, hope you don’t mind our sudden intru

Don Albert shot Jason an intimidating glare and said, “Master Wade is our leader, your disrespect to him is equivalent to making us your enemies. If you dare blurt a single nonsensical statement again, I’ll break your leg!”Jason’s face turned green and blue as the VIPs chided him continuously, shocked and speechless.At this moment, Anthony yelled coldly, “Come here, Joshua Lynch!”Joshua shuddered in astonishment when his name was called.Others might not know it, but he knew very clearly whether his magical elixir had cured Anthony’s illness. He could still deceive them earlier, but now that the real man was here, his bluff would be exposed!Nevertheless, he stepped forward with his head hanging low and greeted, “Master Simmons.”Anthony rebuked angrily, “I heard you say that you cured my illness with that pill in your hand, is that true?”Joshua started frantically, “I’m sorry, Master Simmons. I was just talking nonsense and bragging about something I didn’t do, please forgi

Elaine and Claire watched the situation unfolding with a stunned expression, while Jason was even more shocked and bewildered.Elaine expected the genius doctor to treat her husband, but who would have thought that he would apologize to Charlie, admitting that he was fooling them with the magical drug…Jason’s face turned green in anger and embarrassment. He clenched his fists tightly, feeling that his entire reputation was being stampeded and humiliated by Charlie. However, he refused to believe that Charlie was as powerful as these people claimed and he was unwilling to admit defeat to the loser.Unexpectedly, Don Albert suddenly sneered at him and asked Charlie, “Master Wade, what should I do with this Grant kid?”He didn’t dare to make his own decision in front of Charlie, or he would have attacked Jason immediately for his rude attitude towards Charlie.Charlie said flatly, “It’s up to you.”Don Albert grinned viciously upon Charlie’s remark, but before he could summon his m

In fact, on their way to the hospital, Charlie had planned to treat his father-in-law himself. He was positively certain that his pill could heal a spinal injury with ease.However, after he arrived at the hospital, he found out that Jason was there with Dr. Lynch and Elaine would definitely stop him from interfering with their involvement. Besides, he worried that the magical elixir that came out of nowhere would raise suspicion and it would be hard for him to explain himself.Now that Anthony was here, he was the convenient shield to handle the matter. Anthony’s reputation and stature would be an excellent cover-up for Jacob’s treatment. After all, it was more credible if the medical miracle was created in his hands. Anthony understood his concerns, yet he couldn’t help but be surprised. “Master Wade, a spinal injury is commonly complex regardless of Chinese or Western medical treatment and there’s no way to cure it by far. Are you sure your magical elixir will work?”Then, he s

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

Pausing, Mr. Bay continued, "If they're not that upset with the idea, I'll bang my gavel and make the call so that you can at least stay as a vice president."If they keep refusing, I just have to promote Mr. Zonda to become a vice president while you take over his position of head-of-department as insurance. What do you think?"Jacob certainly wouldn't protest the idea of insurance, especially when he thought he would be forced to leave the Calligraphy and Painting Association altogether earlier. He quickly exclaimed gratefully, "Thank you so much, Mr. Bay!"Mr. Bay chuckled, clearly relieved as well. "Come on, Jacob—you don't have to be so formal. I'm like a brother to you! Don't you think that's what I should be doing?"Jacob laughed earnestly for once. "Well, brother, I'm honestly relieved…" He trailed off but soon pressed on, "But I have to ask, won't the other members have things to say even if you manage to persuade the other vice presidents? What if they remain unhappy?

There were times when making a person despair to some extent could be a people-strategy.For example, when your distant acquaintance asked for a ten grand loan but you could only lend him one, you couldn't tell him directly that. It would make them think you were being insincere.The better option would be to tell them how you were worse off than they were and had a debt yourself, or that some other friend had borrowed money for three years and never repaid it.And when that mere acquaintance was in despair, you could tell them that if it was really important, you could lend them one thousand with a credit card loan.That way, while the mere acquaintance wouldn't exactly be awash with gratitude, they at least wouldn't complain about your lack of sincerity.That was exactly what Mr. Bay was doing.He had no intention of offending Jacob, but he also couldn't directly tell him to give up on claiming the position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Otherwise, Ja

Jacob felt absolutely horrible just then, and he certainly did not expect Don Albert to give him the cold shoulder.If he had known, he would have just stayed content with the 200 thousand he had made and enjoyed his trip to Dubai! If he had, the Calligraphy and Painting Association wouldn't have found out about the bronze sculpture plot, and Don Albert would still be on friendly terms with him.Absolutely regretting everything, Jacob got in the backseat of the cab, tears of grief almost welling up and out of his eyes.Then, noticing that the cabbie was quietly watching him from the rearview mirror, he turned his face aside, whipped out his phone, and called Mr. Bay.As soon as Mr. Bay answered, he asked, "How did things go over there? Have you sorted out Zachary Evans yet?"He was waiting for Jacob to ask Don Albert for help so that the latter would pressure Zachary into posting a statement retracting his previous claims.However, Jacob knew full well that there was no hope for

Ramond replied, "I'm not planning on getting my name out there—I was just thinking I could start slow from one shop, but now, I'm suddenly so popular everyone's consulting me for appraisals, so I guess that's the short end of this."Either way, I'm planning to let things cool off by opening the shop late and closing early. That way, I'd receive fewer customers, and the hype will die down in a month."Once it does, I'll lead a slow life, which is perfect in Aurous Hill since it's how things are here. I'm not aiming to get rich or expand my business, and it's a comfortable life, so I plan to retire here."Charlie nodded. "The Rothschilds are relatively manageable, but I'm not sure if the Qing Eliminating Society is still looking for you and the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. You'll be completely free once they are wiped out.""And I'm sure with your abilities, Mr. Wade, that day will soon arrive." Raymond smiled and soon remembered. "By the way, you probably haven't had dinner yet, right

Charlie was never one who covered up misdeeds, and what Jacob had done reflected his corrupted character and clear refusal to feel remorse.As such, Charlie naturally refused to offer any help, completely giving up and allowing Jacob to keep going off on his own tangent, tearing himself apart in the process.Still, Raymond did put a good word in for Jacob. "Actually, one can understand Mr. Wilson's motives from a certain point of view. I was the one who set him up so that he broke that vase, and had him beaten up so that we didn't arouse suspicion. He has every reason to bear a grudge."Charlie sighed, nodding. "There's no issue with holding a grudge or getting revenge—in fact, I have no problem with him trying to salvage some pride. However, what he did was unseemly, and he doesn't know when to stop."He didn't lose anything before Zachary exposed everything. Even if he had missed a killer deal, he bought it off someone's hand in the first place and made two hundred grand in clean

With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j
