As they looked at Charlie, they realized that there was thunder and lightning surrounding him, as though a dragon was descending into the world!Jason yelled out in panic, “Dad! What the hell is that? Hurry up and shoot him now! Hurry up!”Justin trembled in fright and he could feel his legs going soft immediately. After that, he blurted out, “I…I cannot move my hand at all. It seems as though Charlie had just summoned thunder and lightning from the sky…”Jason panicked at this time and he said, “No one would be able to summon thunder and lightning in this world! I think he’s just putting on an act because he is afraid that we’ll shoot him to death!”Charlie sneered before he said, “Jason, if you really do not believe that I am a god-sent dragon on earth, then I will let you witness it for yourself!”After that, Charlie looked at Justin before he said in a cold manner, “Justin Grant, don’t forget that your son was the one who sent you to your death today!”After that, Charlie rai
When Jason saw that his legs had already turned into ash that was floating in the air, he was so frightened that he started crying out loud. He really could not comprehend what was going on.Only then did he finally understand that Charlie was really a dragon sent from the heavens and he was not even a bug in front of Charlie.After that, Charlie said in an indifferent manner, “Ever since you set your eyes on my wife, you have only one path before you! Death!”As soon as he heard this, Jason was so afraid that he could not stop trembling uncontrollably.Death?As he thought about this, Jason broke down completely and he cried bitterly as he begged, “Mr. Wade, I’ve already lost my legs. I’m a completely disabled person now! Please. Please just let me off now.”Charlie sneered before he said, “Don’t you want to accompany your father? Don’t forget that he died because of you!”“No, I don’t want to! I don’t want to die!” Jason waved his hands as he yelled hysterically.Death?He w
There was something he wanted to say but he did not dare say it.‘Aren’t you just the useless son-in-law of the Wilson family, the famous piece of trash?’When Charlie saw that Jason did not dare to speak up, he smiled before he said, “You must think that I’m just a stinky piece of trash, right?”Jason did not dare to answer.Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “To tell you the truth, I’m the young lord of the Wade family in Eastcliff and I’m also the chairman of Emgrand Group. Do you think your family could possibly be more powerful than mine?”Jason was terrified at this time.The Wade family?Wasn’t that the most wealthy and powerful family in the country?Why…Why would the young lord of the Wade family in Eastcliff come to Aurous Hill to become the son-in-law of the Wilson family?Jason could not understand this fact at all and he said, “I don’t understand…I don’t understand at all. If you really are the young lord of the Wade family, then why are you willing to stay
At this time, Elaine heaved a huge sigh of relief before she patted her chest and said, “It’s a blessing! It’s really a blessing today! I was almost destroyed by Justin today…”Claire looked at her before she said helplessly, “Mom, can you have a conscience whenever you do anything in the future? Can you not be so materialistic and foolish? I don’t know what we would have done earlier. If not for Charlie, we’d both be dead today!”Elaine knew that she was wrong but she said in a reluctant manner, “What’s the matter? I’m also a victim in this matter! Besides, this incident only happened because of Charlie! Everything started from Charlie! If he did not provoke Jason in the first place, then we wouldn’t have encountered this kind of danger at all. This is all Charlie’s fault!”Claire was really angry at this time and she yelled, “You’re really unbelievable!”After that, Claire pushed the door open and she got out of the car before heading into the house immediately.When Elaine saw
After that, Claire said to Charlie, “Husband, go and pack up now!”Charlie nodded as he said, “Okay, I will go now.”Claire took out her cell phone before she said to Elaine, “I’m going to call dad and tell him that I’m moving out today. I won’t be living with the two of you in future. No matter what you do wrong in the future, I won’t blame you or scold you again!”Elaine panicked immediately.In this life, her one and only hope was Claire.Otherwise, if she had to depend on Jacob, she would never have the chance to turn things over in this life.This time, Claire seemed to have a very determined attitude. If she really called Jacob, then there would be no room for reversal.So, Elaine rushed over and hugged Claire’s legs before she cried and said, “Claire, please don’t leave me! Claire, please don’t leave your mom. I know that I’m at fault. I know that I’m in the wrong. This is all because I was petty and materialistic! I promise that I will change in the future, okay? Please
Since Elaine had already admitted to her own mistake and guaranteed that she would never do something like this again, Claire became soft-hearted and she decided not to pursue the matter further.When they were both alone, Claire told Charlie, “Charlie, my mom is always like this. Please don’t blame her too much. As long as she realizes her own mistake and is willing to turn over a new leaf, we should give her a second chance.”What could Charlie say? After all, she was Claire’s biological mother and his mother-in-law. Therefore, he could only smile as he said, “I understand, Claire. You don’t have to worry about me. You can decide on this matter on your own. I’m your husband and she’s my mother-in-law, so I won’t blame her for anything she does.”Claire nodded before she hugged Charlie gently and said, “Dear husband, I’m really grateful to you. If it weren’t because of you, Mom and I wouldn’t have been able to leave that place alive…”Charlie smiled before he said, “Okay, don’t me
At the same time, Kenneth, who had his manhood destroyed by Charlie, was waiting for Justin’s phone call at home.Last night, he saw the pair of father and son pacing up and down the entrance of Anthony’s Serene World Clinic. It seemed as though the both of them were trying to light up Serene World Clinic with gasoline. It was then that Kenneth realized that he would be able to use these fools to his own advantage.He originally thought that he could fool both of them into getting rid of Anthony. After that, he would swap out Anthony’s real medicine with the fake ones he had already prepared.As soon as he got his hands on Anthony’s real medicine, he would be able to restore his manhood to its former glory.However, even though Justin said that he would call him today, he did not call him at all. This made Kenneth a little anxious.He did not know Justin’s name and he could only keep dialing the phone number that had been given to him. No matter how many times he called, the call
When Kenneth thought about the fact that the disappearance of the father and son of the Grant family might have something to do with Charlie, Kenneth could not help but feel very nervous.If Charlie could really let the father and son evaporate from the face of this world, then he was afraid that Charlie would also get rid of him…Moreover, since the father and son had already disappeared, he would not be able to get his hands on Anthony’s magic medicine.After all, there would not be any substitute for a dead man and he should not do anything to provoke Anthony at this time.As everyone was keeping silent, Lady Wilson suddenly looked at Kenneth in a flattering manner as she said in a humble manner, “Mr. Wilson, should we head to one of the big hospitals in Eastcliff instead? Perhaps you’d be able to find a cure for your illness then.”Kenneth was the final life-saving straw for the entire Wilson family and Lady Wilson felt even more anxious than him at this time. If Kenneth could
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
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
