Finley really did not expect that there would be someone in this world who would dare to cut off Homer’s ears.This kind of thing, such as cutting off ears, might not happen even once in a lifetime among big families.This was because such methods were really a little too ruthless. No matter which big family it was, once a member of the family had his ears cut off, the family would definitely fight against the other party at all costs. He couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “If it was really those ninjas who did it, they definitely would not have such courage…After all, the strength of the Fox family is there. Even if the United States and Japan are separated by a great distance, as soon as the Fox family decides to hunt a person down, the entire Iga family will not be able to go against the Fox family at all.”As he thought of this, he could not help but think to himself, ‘Could it be that the real mastermind behind the scenes isn’t those ninjas? But who could it be if it’s not
After saying that, Finley added, “When this matter is over and Young Master Fox returns safely, I’ll tell him that you should stop working for the Fox family in the future and you can come back to Seattle with me.”The maid asked in surprise, “Young Master George… Are you serious?!” “Of course!” Finley touched her face and said tenderly, “You are the woman that I, Finley George, like. I can’t possibly let the woman that I like work as a maid in someone else’s house. You’re destined to be a mistress and let others serve you and take care of you. How could I let you take care of others?”These pampering words from Finley immediately made the maid fall deep into it. She seemed to have fallen right into the ocean.She felt like she was the happiest Cinderella in the world and that she had finally waited for her Prince Charming. The dream of a wealthy and luxurious family that has been cultivated in various television dramas and literary works ever since her childhood was instantly a
At this point, the maid had already long been deceived by Finley’s series of flowery words.When she heard Finley saying that he would also package a brand-new identity and background for her, this instantly touched the soft spot in her heart that has always been humble and fragile.This made her feel extremely grateful towards Finley and she felt that this person was the angel who would bring her from the abyss to heaven.So, she did not have the slightest doubt about Finley’s words and she gratefully agreed to do so.Finley was temporarily relieved. He knew that he was currently in an awkward position and that it would only be temporarily safe for him to stay at the Fox family’s manor. However, he also had to prepare in advance since it was still a crisis.So, he wrapped his arms around the maid and continued to coax her. “There is one more thing, Casey. If you hear anyone mentioning my name in the Fox family, you have to tell me as soon as possible. I will give you my cell ph
Unlike the previous videos of Xavion kissing the prostitute on the street, these videos captured the follow-up of Xavion kissing the prostitute.When people saw that Xavion had taken two human ears from the prostitute, everyone thought that they were blinded. And when people saw Xavion holding two human ears, bawling and shouting out his son Homer’s name, everyone was stunned!At this moment, many shills began to guide the public opinion in the comments. As insiders, they told the netizens that Xavion was not really looking for women out on the street. However, the real reason was because Homer, his beloved son, had been kidnapped!The kidnappers had brutally cut off his son’s two ears and given them to the prostitute.And Xavion’s passionate kiss with the prostitute was just the kidnappers’ prank.As for Xavion, he did not only have to bear the pain of his son being kidnapped and hurt, but he also had to suffer from the crazy internet violence from netizens who did not know t
At midnight, a team of reporters from CNN and the New York Times arrived at the Fox family’s manor overnight to conduct an exclusive interview with Xavion.In the exclusive interview, Xavion detailed the entire story and he kept praising his son, Homer, in front of the media. He said emotionally, “Homer is young but he has always been very mature, low-key, upright, honest, humble, and kind. He can be considered a very outstanding young talent.”“You might not know this but just before Homer was kidnapped, he was hosting a charity dinner that he had initiated and organized by himself. This charity dinner was not revealed to the public because of his low profile. Unexpectedly, it was also this charity dinner which gave the kidnappers the opportunity to kidnap him just a few minutes before he was supposed to give a speech on stage.”The reporters couldn’t help but ask, “Excuse me, may I ask what this charity dinner initiated by your son is about?”“It’s to help orphans,” Xavion exp
“Okay.”Very soon, Christian, who was wearing a peaked cap and a black mask, walked up under the leadership of a police officer.He was carrying two kraft paper shopping bags and he went directly to Merlin’s office.When Merlin saw him, he asked in surprise, “Christian, why did you come to New York? Didn’t I hear that you’d gone back to Oskia some time ago?”“Yes.” Christian nodded and smiled wryly as he said, “I did go back to Oskia but as a result, I was met with a sharp rebuff, and so, I returned in disgrace.”Merlin asked curiously, “What happened? Is there still someone who can make Christian Acker fail to get what he wants?”“Don’t mention it,” Christian said helplessly, “This matter… is really a long story.”After that, he placed the two kraft paper shopping bags on the table and asked, “You’re considered to be off duty now, right? I brought some food from Oskiatown and a bottle of your favorite Penfolds wine. Let’s have a few drinks together if you can drink.”Merlin la
After hearing Christian’s judgment, Merlin laughed wryly and said, “My thoughts are the same as yours. In New York, there aren’t many people who can make a move on the Fox family. Taking into account the Rothschild and the Acker families, there are at most four of five families with the strength to do so but this time, this group of people’s style of action is not the same as any of you.”“Indeed.” Christian agreed and said, “This kind of gameplay is not something that a few big families can do. It is indeed very wild and surprising at first glance.”“You think so too?” Merlin sighed and said, “I once thought that this might be the work of a new gang. Generally, new gangs would want to do shocking and appalling things to get ahead but when I think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem quite right. If any gang dares to play like this, they would basically be in a dead end and no gang would be able to compete with the strength of the Fox family.”Christian nodded in agreement and said,
Merlin sighed. “But I still don’t quite understand why they would want to draw the Fox family into the spotlight. Are they going to make a move against the Fox family in front of the whole world?! That would be too arrogant and the whole world will not forgive them for it. By then, they will definitely become everyone’s public enemy!”Christian frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, “Unless…Unless they have absolute certainty that they would be able to reverse the current situation completely!”With that said, a rarely seen slightly frightened expression appeared on Christian’s face as he blurted out, “Ahh, I got it! This must be a public execution!”“Public execution…” Merlin muttered and repeated Christian’s sentence. After that, his eyes suddenly lit up and he blurted out, “I got it now! If your inference is right, then this mysterious person must have mastered a huge scandal of the Fox family. As soon as this scandal is exposed, the entire Fox family will suffer a devastatin
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
