Chapter 327

Author: Lord Leaf
Charlie frowned immediately.

He was not a member of the Wilson family. He did not have the so-called family-bond and blood relations with them. Therefore, he could tell at a single glance that Lady Wilson was up to one of her bitter tricks once again.

The Wilson family was now in a desperate situation. If they could not revive the Wilson Group, it would unquestionably fall apart, and the old lady would instantly fall from the top to the bottom.

Lady Wilson was someone who had worried about her face and reputation all her life, and she would rather die than accept the fact that she would be poor and destitute. Therefore, she had to wrack her brain to find a way to turn things around for the Wilson family.

First, she had tried to bully and trick Claire into joining the Wilson Group again. However, Claire did not give in to her request.

After that, she had tried using money to try to get a breakthrough from Elaine. However, Elaine failed to convince Claire into returning to the Wilso

    Christopher hurriedly agreed before he said, “Yes, Claire. I think that it is very important for your father to build up his health again. He should recuperate in a good environment with a good mood! So, why don’t you listen to your grandmother and come back to live in the Wilson family villa? I will also hire a few nannies to take care of your father twenty-four hours a day!”Jacob, who was lying on the hospital bed at this time, felt extremely moved when he heard what his mother and brother had just said.His heart felt a little shaken, and he could not help but say, “Claire, why don’t we move back, then…”Claire felt a little conflicted.She did not know whether her grandmother was being sincere or whether she was just pretending.However, when she saw her grandmother, father, and uncle holding hands and crying together, she also felt very touched.She had to think of her father. If he could move back into the Wilson family villa and live in a comfortable environment with a ca

    To expose their true colors, Charlie said, “I already said that it is no problem for all of us to move back into the Wilson family villa. After all, we are family. However, Claire’s studio is already operating, and so, I would like to remind everyone in advance that Claire will not be returning to work for the Wilson Group in the future.”“What?” Lady Wilson yelled out loud. It seemed as though someone had just stepped on her tail. She jumped up in an instant before she said, “How could I allow that to happen? I’ve already said that the whole family should not only be living together, but we should also cooperate and work hard together so that the Wilson family can be strong and powerful. How can you come back to the Wilson family villa but not work for the Wilson Group, then?”Charlie smiled before he replied, “Grandma, didn’t you say that the reason why you are inviting us to move back into the Wilson family villa is because of my father-in-law’s health? I thought that you simply w

    Lady Wilson trembled as she walked toward Claire and knelt directly in front of her!Everyone in the ward was shocked at this time!Who would have ever imagined that the haughty and arrogant Lady Wilson would kneel in front of Claire?This truly was a shock to everyone!Even Christopher did not expect his mother to actually be willing to kneel in front of Claire and beg, just so that she would be able to trick Claire into going back to work for the Wilson Group.She had been so strong and arrogant throughout her entire life, always trying to control and manipulate everyone around her. How could she possibly kneel in front of someone else like this? Why would she kneel in front of Claire?Claire was also surprised and dumbfounded at this time. She quickly replied, “Grandma, what are you doing now?! Please get up! We can amicably discuss things.”Lady Wilson continued kneeling in front of Claire before she said apologetically, “Claire, what your grandmother did in the past was wro

    Lady Wilson became flustered as soon as Charlie suddenly exposed her true motives.She thought that she would be able to deal with Claire’s family easily, and she thought that it would be especially easy to deal with Charlie since he was nothing but a piece of trash. Lady Wilson thought that it would not be that difficult at all and thought that Charlie would certainly feel grateful and happy as long as Harold and Wendy apologized to him.However, she did not expect Charlie to be the one to see right through her act.When she saw that her true motives had already been exposed, Lady Wilson hesitated for a moment before she said, “We are all family here, so we should all be working together so that our family can prosper! Wouldn’t it be a joke to the public if word spreads that our family is running two different companies?”Charlie sneered before he replied, “The richest man in Hong Kong, Li Ka-Shing, and his son are also running two completely different companies. So, is anyone mak

    Albert replied instantly, “Mr. Wade, I have men all over Aurous Hill. I have men in most of the nightclubs, bars, karaoke bars, and construction sites. As long as you give me the order, I will instruct my men to hunt that person down and kill him immediately! I will make sure that I send men out on the streets to look for him every day and I will make sure that he wishes that he had never been born in this life!”Harold was so frightened at this moment and quickly knelt in front of Charlie as he cried and begged for his life. “Charlie, Charlie, my good brother-in-law, I was just joking around with you. Please just disregard me and just let me go. Please…”Charlie glanced at Harold coldly and asked, “Why? You’re not pretending to be indestructible anymore?”“No, no. I will not pretend anymore. I will not pretend anymore…” Harold replied immediately. He was already scared to death, how could he possibly dare to act in front of Charlie any longer?If Don Albert gave his men the order

    As soon as he heard Charlie’s words, Harold, who was kneeling on the ground, was already frightened to death. He cried out as he hurriedly said, “Grandma, hurry up and tell them the truth! Please tell Charlie the truth now! If you don’t, I will truly lose my life, grandma!”Christopher was also afraid that they would be facing a lot of trouble. Therefore, he hurriedly pleaded, “Mom, just tell them the truth now.”Lady Wilson had already given up struggling at this time, and she sighed like a rooster who had already been defeated in a fight before saying, “Charlie is right. The reason why I am here today is just that I was planning to trick all of you into moving back to the Wilson family villa. My main purpose in doing that was just because I wanted to manipulate and trick Claire into going back to work for the Wilson Group.”Then, Lady Wilson tried to push the blame away from herself as she blurted out, “But I…”Charlie interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. “But no

    Now, the Wilson Group was akin to a bag of rice with holes in it. To begin with, there was not much rice in it. However, the rice was now all rushing out of the bag, and the bag was almost empty!What was even more annoying was the fact that her most beloved granddaughter, Wendy, had originally had the opportunity to marry Gerald from the White family. Yet, the White family had also decided to abandon the Wilson family.Therefore, the Wilson family no longer had the support of the White family.As she thought about it, Lady Wilson could not help but shed tears immediately.Over the past few years, she had been in charge of taking care of the Wilson family and heading the operations of the Wilson Group. However, she had never expected the Wilson Group to end in this situation with her at the helm.If this continued any further, the Wilson Group would not only have to shut down completely, but they would also face a huge amount of debt. If that happened, Lady Wilson was afraid that

    As the Wilson family were busy crying and cursing at Charlie, two Rolls-Royce suddenly stopped in front of the Wilson family villa.Then, six bodyguards dressed in black stepped out of the two cars. One of the bodyguards quickly opened the rear door of the car at the back, and a middle-aged man in his fifties stepped out of the car.The man was very presentable, and he was dressed in a top-notch handmade suit from a branded designer brand. He looked very dignified.The middle-aged man stepped out of the car with a copy of the Wilson family tree in his hand as he asked his assistant, “Is this the Wilson family in Aurous Hill?”The assistant nodded before he said, “Yes, Mr. Wilson. I have already checked with the Civil Affairs Bureau and confirmed that this is indeed the Wilson family in Aurous Hill.”“Alright, then.” The middle-aged man nodded and looked at the Wilson family villa before he said, “I did not expect the Wilson family in Aurous Hill to be so desolate. I guess they rea

    Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300

    "But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom

    "Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with

    At this point, Don Albert could very well be Jacob's personal messiah.Even if he did threaten Zachary with calling Charlie persistently, he actually wouldn't dare call Charlie.After all, how would he start explaining that he was involved in a crime? And telling Charlie was basically telling his daughter—what would they think of him after this? Would he ever be able to hold his head high in the family again?As such, his only option now was to ask Don Albert and see if he would help.What he didn't know was that Don Albert was with Charlie, who had already anticipated Jacob's move.When Jacob realized he couldn't stop Zachary, Jacob would find someone who could, and Don Albert was the best man for the job!To no surprise, Don Albert's phone soon started ringing with a call from Jacob.Don Albert didn't answer right away, however, instead turning toward Charlie as he asked gingerly, "So, shall I stick to your script, Master Wade?"Seeing Charlie nod, he pressed on, "Should I

    As soon as Jacob sent the voice message, Mr. Bay called.Jacob quickly answered, asking nervously, "How are things over there, Mr. Bay?""How, you ask…?" Mr. Bay sighed in exasperation. "The entire Calligraphy and Painting Association was demanding your dismissal as soon as Zachary Evans posted his statement, thinking that you have no business being the administrative vice president let alone have a place in the association."Even those officials came asking me questions, and you know how they are—gossipers, every last one of them, always finding out about the juicy stuff instantly even if it's really no big deal. The only excuse I have to stop them is that we don't have the facts, but this issue still needs to be taken care of."So, be straight with me. Were you a part of this? If you don't, do you have any definitive evidence that can refute Zachary's claims?""I… Uh…" Jacob stammered, unable to answer.He certainly wanted to say no, but he had no evidence to back himself up.

    Jacob bellowed furiously, "Raymond Cole made over 19 million dollars! From my bronze sculpture! Yet you're telling me to refund that 300 thousand too?! You're just fucking with me, aren't you?!""Well, if you don't like it, just do what you like, then," Zachary replied calmly and quickly hung up before Jacob could answer.Jacob was left twitching and shaking endlessly, and there was no telling if it was from rage or fear.Beside him, Elaine quickly asked, "What did Zachary say, dear? Can he get that bronze sculpture back?"Caught by surprise at her question, Jacob flinched, and his phone slipped out of his grasp.As it seemed to hover in the air, he tried to catch it twice but failed, but Elaine managed to grab it.It was then that she noticed that he was sweating all over his face, and she promptly asked, "What's wrong, dear?"Coming to his senses, Jacob's eyes went wide with rage. "Zachary is trying to kill me! He leaked the whole thing to his Twitter page—it's like he's pulli

    Jacob turned his phone's loudspeaker on before switching panels to Twitter.He was already shocked to find dozens of people directly messaging him, and he was naturally curious why so many of them were looking for him while he was on his trip to Dubai.However, he had no time to find out as he promptly tapped on his social feed, and it took much swiping to reach Zachary's apology post.He tapped on it, scanning through it just before he went dizzy, the world spinning around him while a dull hum rang in his ears.Never would he have expected Zachary to spill the beans, leaking every detail including Jacob's name and contact information. What was that if not mutual destruction?!Absolutely furious, he bellowed at Zachary again, "What the fuck is this?! Are you trying to kill me, posting this shit?!""I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson, but I've come to understand how grave of a mistake I've made," Zachary calmly replied. "I've actually visited Treasure Measure earlier to apologize to Mr. Cole

    Within hours, Jacob and Elaine's flight had landed at Dubai International Airport, and the first thing he did was turn off his phone's flight mode.Then, staring at the upper right corner, he waited for the phone to find a network signal.He had connected to international data roaming, and within a few dozen seconds, he was connected to the internet.Once he did, a ton of notifications popped up on his phone, but he didn't care to check any of them and instead opened his contacts and called Zachary.Zachary was in his office, ready to do his usual rounds inspecting Don Albert's premises.While he had indeed completely lost his reputation at Aurous Hill's Antique Street after pinning that post on top of his social page and was given plenty of weird looks by people around him, he didn't care because he knew how to prioritize.Right now, the most important thing that he had to do was put all his body and spirit into his work and not get distracted by anything else.Only then could

    The man who had called out to him shrugged. "Zachary posted it on his account. Check it out yourself!"Mick promptly tapped out of his message editor, refreshed his social feed, and immediately saw Zachary's apology post.Once he tapped on it and read it, he almost had a stroke and was cursing before he knew it, "Fuck technology! It's like a self-exploding truck! Fuck you, Zachary Evans, blowing yourself up before I could end you! What a bitch!" Naturally, the post also made Jacob infamous.The Calligraphy and Painting Association more or less had a stake in the antique trade, and the members were shocked that Jacob was involved in such a scandal.Within minutes, word reached Mr. Bay, leaving him pacing around in his office anxiously.Mr. Bay was eager to suck up to Jacob too, which was why he had intended to let Jacob inherit his position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association after he was promoted.But while he thought it was as good as done, he didn't expec
