After Xavion received this text message, he looked up at the few women standing at the roadside, only to find that the blonde woman who had lost two incisors was the woman who had just come to knock on his car window. Wasn’t she the woman who had just startled him?When he thought of how the other party might also have AIDS, he felt nauseated and he almost vomited.However, he never would have dreamt that the mysterious person who had kidnapped his son would ask him to stuff money into that woman’s collar!He could not help but curse angrily. “Isn’t he f*cking bullying someone in a weaker position than him? If there was really something that he wanted to give me, wouldn’t it be enough just to ask her to take it out?!”The bodyguard could not help but ask, “Master, did the other party text you again?”Xavion looked at the woman outside the car window and said with disgust, “That son of a b*tch has asked me to stuff a thousand dollars into that woman’s collar in exchange for somethi
The bodyguard said nervously, “Master, it’s too dangerous for you to go directly. Why don’t I go and check if there’s anything wrong with that woman first?!”“No need for that…” Xavion shook his head. His father, Spencer, had already said all that. If word were to reach Spencer that he had asked someone to go and check on that woman, Spencer would definitely be very disappointed in him.So, he could only bite the bullet and push the car door open to get out of the car before walking towards the woman at the side of the road.Several women did not expect that a middle-aged man would come down from inside the Cadillac and walk straight towards them. So, a few of them were still busy scratching their heads and winking, hoping to gain the man’s favor.Xavion felt even more disgusted when he saw that.However, he had no choice but to brace himself and walk up to the blonde woman, roll up the thousand dollars in his hand, and stuff the money into the woman’s collar.There was a gasp
The woman was scared out of her wits with so many people pointing pistols at her and so, she was shivering as she hurriedly took out a crumpled box of condoms from the worn-out shoulder bag that she was carrying.Xavion glanced at the picture on the condom and the expression on his face turned extremely dark. He thought that it was just a prank and he cursed coldly, “This is what that b*stard had asked you to give me?!”“Yes…” The woman panicked as she hurriedly said, “He… He also asked me to convey a message to you…”Xavion shouted angrily, “Say it! I’ll f*cking kill you if you stammer or hesitate again!”The woman trembled with fright and hurriedly said, “He said… I’m sorry, Mr. Fox, I was in a hurry and… I couldn’t… I couldn’t find a decent container, so I had to make do with this box… Although the packaging is very inferior, the contents inside are still very precious…”Xavion reached out his hand and was about to grab the condom box but when he thought about how the woman had
He wished that he could capture those ninjas immediately and rip them into pieces but unfortunately, they had not been able to grasp the true identities of those ninjas yet at present.Spencer had many spies and most of the bodyguards around Xavion reported to him. So, he had already heard about this matter before even waiting for Xavion’s return. He was particularly fond of Homer and when he heard that his grandson’s ears had been cut off, he was furious and since he was in his study, he smashed everything that he could possibly smash. When the old mistress heard of the news, she rushed over to see what was going on and she finally managed to stop Spencer. After she learned the full story, she stomped her feet in distress and when she saw that there was nothing else to smash in the study, she started punching Spencer as she cried and shouted, “You have to save my grandson alive. Otherwise, I will die before you!”Spencer was upset and he did not want his wife to follow suit. So,
What Charlie liked the most was to crush both a person’s heart and body. He knew very well what rich people cared about the most and so, he could always find their weak point.For most rich people, what they cared about was just two things—profit and reputation.Since he had wanted to make this matter a big deal and cause more damage to the Fox family, this way of exposing the scandal was the best solution.When Xavion returned home and saw a group of his angry family members, he realized that he had already become popular on the internet.When he saw the video of him being shared wildly on the internet, he almost died of anger. The sight of the unpleasant street girl made him feel sick all the way and he almost vomited several times in the car.Coupled with the feeling of holding his son’s two ears in his hands, he felt even more miserable. After finally carrying it home and just when he was ready to take the HIV prophylactic drug immediately, he did not expect that the vid
Someone said, “I think that Xavion Fox must be a pervert. Otherwise, it would not be possible for him to approach such a prostitute. This kind of prostitute goes for ten dollars on the street and no one would even look at them!”“I think that the Fox family’s ancestors will not be able to rest in peace! They must not be able to understand how they could produce such an offspring in their own family!”Someone else said, “I reckon that Xavion Fox must have some kind of special fetish. Perhaps people with money like such women who are covered with holes from needles, and might even have AIDS.”There are even more damaging people who commented, “You might not know this but the Fox family has invested in a large number of drug research and developed teams and biological laboratories over the years. My guess is that the Fox family may have developed a special drug to treat AIDS and the master of the Fox family plans to get infected with AIDS personally to test the drug!”There were all k
In Spencer’s opinion, it did not matter if they were misunderstood but as long as they could lift this misunderstanding as soon as possible, they would often be able to get good results instead.Take love movies from all over the world as an example. The male and female protagonists would often come up with a prejudice against each other, and they would often fall in love after breaking that prejudice.Such is human nature.Therefore, Spencer felt that this was a good opportunity for public relations crisis management.As long as he could seize this opportunity to give Xavion the persona of a great father, Xavion would not only be able to turn things around but this would also bring the Fox family to a better mass base.At this time, his younger brother, Steton, spoke up. “Elder Brother, don’t you think that inviting the reporters directly to our house is a little too elaborate? Even if the kidnappers aren’t provoked, others would think that we’re doing this on purpose.”Spencer
They sent a large number of people to search for witnesses near the scene of the incident in Brooklyn, followed by the promise of one hundred thousand US dollars in cash to acquire the video of the incident captured during the time of the incident. In addition, the Fox family also promised for the use of cash transactions for all those who provided videos, and that none of their personal information would be recorded, so as to reassure those passersby.Needless to say, their approach was very effective.Soon, the news spread in Brooklyn and those who had captured what happened on video came over and sold their videos to the Fox family. Within twenty minutes, the Fox family bought eight different videos that were shot from various different perspectives. However, some of them had started filming from when Xavion kissed the prostitute whereas the others started filming from when Xavion found the two ears. It was the latter that the Fox family wanted. This was because they wan
Though Jacob had nothing going for him, he had always had a huge ego, and he had never once admitted that he would lose to anyone in the presence of his wife and daughter.That was why both Elaine and Claire were shocked when he suddenly openly admitted that he was a piece of shit in front of them. They had never heard such a thing from him in the decades they had lived with him!In fact, Jacob himself was reluctant to insult himself like that.However, Charlie told him repeatedly that he absolutely must say it before he came here—because Charlie was dead sure that this line was the key to getting over this impasse, and it truly did put this crisis to rest.Even as Jacob finished, his heart was bleeding as he felt like he had just put his pride on the floor and trampled all over it until it was crushed to oblivion. Even though it was to clear any suspicion Elaine held toward him, to call himself a piece of shit—to say it himself that his beloved woman would think him beneath her,
Before Elaine knew it, she was reading the website she had just read again, and she did indeed find Yolden's name on it.With that, everything Charlie had said snapped together into a perfect chain of logic.Seeing the troubled look on her face, Charlie quickly added, "I'm not going to lie—Dad told me right away when he was told Matilda was getting married. We even discussed if we should tell you, and now you know why." "Matilda is doing so well for herself and got such an amazing husband, and they've picked Shangri-La's Sky Garden—something an average Joe could never hope to reach. And since she invited our whole family and not just us, Dad had to really think about it.""Eventually, he told me to hide it from you or it'd leave you devastated, so none of us said anything. We just didn't think you'd find that invitation and then end up having a big fight about it."Sighing, Charlie then continued, "But if you really want to go, we can go together for their wedding to put your min
Bitterness swelled in Elaine's heart as she really didn't think that Matilda was doing so well for herself.The fact that Matilda was worth millions alone made her far superior.At the same time, she was also rejoicing that she had never actually met Matilda. If Matilda asked how she was doing directly, how would she respond?In the end, Matilda was no Hannah Queen.Elaine would actually feel accomplished if she compared herself to Hannah.On the other hand, Matilda eclipsed Elaine in every way—she was more beautiful, kind, smart, and knowledgeable. Even her figure left Elaine dead in the water!It was as pointless as comparing a hen to a peacock!Whenever she thought of her, she could comfort herself that she had stolen her man even if she couldn't measure up in any way.But now, Jacob was completely insignificant to Matilda while Elaine still treated Jacob like a trophy.Even as a sense of inferiority seized her, Charlie sighed. "Come on, you should understand where Jacob is
"Exactly!"Charlie agreed, striking the metal while it was hot. "To be honest, the years Matilda spent in the States would be wasted if she was actually still interested!" "She's a Wall Street veteran who'd definitely have met so many successful men! Why would she be interested in a loser like Jacbo Wilson? It's not like she returned from the States after thirty years to help the poor, don't you agree?"Charlie then finished with a sigh. "The way I see it? You're the only one who'd be interested in him."Jacob heard that from behind the wall and was left absolutely fuming and humiliated.He was the only one who knew that Matilda had come back for him—even if she was worth millions now.However, he just didn't have the spine to divorce Elaine and get together with Matilda.He presumed that it was no rush and that he could just give Elaine the silent treatment—who knew, she might just give in and ask for a divorce herself, and then, he would have no issues getting together with M
"Her real lover?!" Elaine exclaimed in shock. "What are you talking about?"Charlie put on a serious face as she said, "Matilda came back to Oskia for her one true love, who is now her fiance. His name is Yolden Hart, a top economist who's now a lecturer at Aurous Hill University, who was invited all the way from the States. He's a professional manager and used to work in Wall Street, so he'd be qualified to be a CEO in any Fortune 500 company…""Professional manager?" Elaine pouted. "That still means he's a wage slave!"Charlie laughed. "Don't underestimate professional managers now. Just look at Apple Inc.'s CEO—the man earns around a hundred million USD per year, and that's over seven hundred million in Oskian dollars!"Elaine was left gaping, unable to imagine how a wage slave could earn so much.At the same time, Charlie continued, "To be fair, Professor Hart wouldn't earn that much, but 50 million per year is still no sweat for him. Do you get the amount of money we're talki
Elaine appeared taken aback, and she promptly demanded, "You've met Matilda too?!"It was only then that Claire realized she had let the cat out of the bag, and she suddenly didn't know what to say. "Oh… Uh… Mom… I, uh… didn't?"Nonetheless, Elaine was suddenly pressing her menacingly, "If you've never met her, how would you know she's a serious person?!"As Claire stayed silent, Elaine broke down in tears. "No… You're lying to me too! Aren't you?!"While Claire was left at a loss of how she should salvage this mess, Charlie suddenly entered and said, "Claire didn't—but I did.""What?!" Elaine was left staring at Charlie, stunned.Still, she soon demanded, "Y-You've met Matilda?! Did Jacob take you with him to see her?""Yes," Charlie admitted, nodding.Elaine snapped right then, and she bellowed, "Then why didn't you tell me?! To think that I've always done right by you, treating you like my own son, but you wouldn't tell me that Jacob is cheating on me! Y-You disappoint me!"
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
