As Homer’s father, Xavion was the most nervous out of them all. He knew he had failed to teach his son well. Now that Homer was dead, the people would divert their fury at him.It was getting closer to eight o’clock. He anxiously nudged Kathleen and mumbled, “Kathleen… Maybe I shouldn’t go up in a while…” Kathleen said resolutely, “None of us can be absent in today’s press conference!” Xavion panicked. “I’m afraid that my appearance later will cause public anger. It’ll be bad if it affects your press conference…”“Don’t worry about it,” Kathleen said, not leaving any room for him to wriggle out. “The three of you don’t have to say or do anything on stage. I’ll speak all by myself. You just need to apologize together when I apologize to the public. Bow with me as I do.”Xavion wanted to say something else, but Jordan interrupted him with a cold growl, “Xavion! Your son has made such a big disaster, and you’re his father! If you don’t show up, what will others think of us?!” Xav

Kathleen’s loud and clear words sent the hall bursting into an uproar. Nobody expected that the Fox family would have a new chairman at such a critical moment.Most surprising of all was the fact that the new chairman was a woman. In the United States, the serious problem of patriarchal ideology was still prevalent in big families. There were many wealthy families in the United States with a net worth of more than ten billion or more. However, almost none would give the leadership position to a woman. Not only that, but Kathleen was still very young. Spencer, the previous head of the family, and Jordan, the head of the family before Spencer stood behind Kathleen in a line. Apparently, the young Kathleen wasn’t joking. With her two predecessors standing for her, it must be true that she was the leader of the Fox family’s new generation.Everyone was shocked.They simply couldn’t understand. Why would the Fox family make such a decision? It might be necessary to find someone to ta

It was extremely rare for anyone to be like Kathleen, who admitted the family’s mistake and took responsibility for them. As such, everyone pushed aside their contempt and began to concentrate on Kathleen’s next words.Kathleen continued sternly, “The reason I say that we, the Fox family, have an unshirkable responsibility is mainly because of the following.”“Firstly, we failed to educate Homer well! We failed to shape his character to be a kind person or instill healthy and good values in him. Thus, his character and his personality went into the extremes. Because of this, he brought innumerable damages to society. We must be held accountable for this!”“Secondly, the Fox family also failed to supervise Homer’s actions. There is great negligence in supervision! Homer has been committing terrible atrocities for so many years, yet we were in the dark and only discovered everything yesterday. This is the Fox family’s failure, as well as a dereliction of duty! Had we discovered this m

“One billion US dollars?!”Kathleen’s words instantly caused the whole world to be in an uproar.In third-world countries, the civil compensation for human life was only a few thousand US dollars. It was only tens of thousands of US dollars in developing countries or hundreds of thousands of US dollars at most.In developed countries, it was true that there would often be some cases with very high compensation, but tens of millions of US dollars would generally be the peak. Moreover, there would generally be a team of top lawyers who would have to be racking their brains to get this kind of compensation that was up to tens of millions of US dollars.So, the victim could only really get a small portion of the compensation, and a large part of it would basically go into the lawyers’ pockets.Nevertheless, Kathleen had said that the Fox family would be compensating one billion US dollars per person as soon as she spoke up. What kind of concept was this?! This was equivalent to gi

However, Kathleen’s method of handling this matter was simply perfect in everyone’s eyes. This was a textbook crisis public relations for all top wealthy families.Still, the price of this public relations was also really big. They would have to fork out twenty or thirty billion US dollars just like that. Some top wealthy people might not even have such courage.When Kathleen saw that everyone was applauding her solution, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that this crisis public relation was successful.Although she was representing the Fox family and taking most of the blame on behalf of the Fox family, her attitude was sincere enough, and her solution was more than reasonable. Therefore, the people were able to tolerate her.This was also what Charlie had meant when he said to find a way out of an impasse.Standing up straight and taking a beating would always be much better than getting scolded with your head covered.If you took a beating, you would be able to s

Claire’s grandfather had already betrothed her to Charlie in advance before she had graduated from university. After their marriage, she had been working as an invisible person in Wilson Group and so, she really didn’t have much life experience besides having seen the sinister nature of the Wilson family. In her limited social experience, she really couldn’t understand why a person would want to use another identity to befriend others. If the other party was deliberately trying to harm her, it would naturally be justified if she used a fake identity.However, in their interactions, Kathleen had not deceived her, and in the end, Kathleen had even done her a huge favor by introducing her to her idol, Kelly. Kathleen had even gotten her a place in the master class. Therefore, she really couldn’t understand the reason why Kathleen had done this.Still, the fact that Kathleen had hidden her identity from her still made Claire feel very depressed. This was because she sincerely regar

After saying that, Charlie then said again, “I heard a piece of gossip before. Some time ago, Jordan Fox and Kathleen Fox disappeared together. It was said on the internet that both of them were being pursued by Spencer. Now, it seems as though they were really being pursued at that time and were staying hidden at first. Currently, they have returned to the United States to regain control of the Fox family. This can also explain why Miss Jane... oh, no, I mean, Miss Fox, left without saying goodbye and suddenly disappeared. I guess the reason why she didn’t contact you is because she was being pursued at that time.”Claire nodded lightly. Her depressed mood seemed to have eased a lot, and she said softly, “If that’s really the case, it’s not easy for Miss Fox...”Charlie nodded, smiled, and said, “You don’t have to think too much. Since she has already become the head of the Fox family, she should not have any worries anymore. I believe that she will contact you soon and explain the

Kathleen had solved all of the Fox family’s troubles at once, but immediately afterward, more new video evidence was immediately exposed on the internet.However, the protagonists of this evidence were no longer Homer, but wealthy heirs from New York who were found tragically dead in the Hudson River in the morning. This news exploded all over the world again, and the public’s attention immediately shifted from the Fox family to these wealthy families.Meanwhile, these wealthy families did not even care to grieve the tragic death of their own family members. Instead, all of them had a headache over how they could dispel the public’s anger toward them.Although Kathleen had already given them an example, her solution was simply too expensive for others.These wealthy families, who were addicted to money, were unwilling to provide a billion US dollars in compensation for each victim’s family unless they had no other choice and would otherwise die.However, these were no longer iss

Pausing, Raymond continued, "To prove that the will is legally binding, a public notary needs to be present and ideally certifying said will—otherwise, you'd just be talking out of your ass.""In the case of the latter, that means the bronze sculpture belongs to your father—not you. And because you can't produce a legally binding will, it's by law that you and your brother share half the right of inheritance to that bronze sculpture… or less, should you have more living siblings or if your mother is alive.""However, since your brother has the right of inheritance, selling that bronze sculpture to me is legal. You can sue him in court and request the court make him compensate you for your loss. Therefore, what you should be doing now is filing a lawsuit against your brother, sorting out the inheritance issue instead of coming to me."Bob was left speechless, and even Zachary was stunned, unable to find the right retort.Seeing that Bob was hesitant and constantly fiddling with his

Pausing, Raymond then continued, "I even told him that he could leave the bronze sculpture with me as a consignment, and I would only be eligible for a ten percent commission.""He refused to take that offer, so I offered yet again a 50-50 investment, where he would still get half of what I make after I sell the bronze sculpture. He refused me again anyway, and he was set on the three hundred grand, take it or leave it. There's security footage that proves it too, so how could I have defrauded him?"Then, seeing that there were plenty of others around them, he smiled, "Since you're here, I shall invite the public to be my witness as I show everyone the security footage I have. I will ask everyone to be the judge and decide if I've deceived his so-called brother!"Bob's heart skipped a beat at Raymond's words, but he was afraid to retreat right then, so he braced himself and snapped, "No, that's not necessary! You bought the bronze sculpture, so you return it this instant! I will ret

Zachary felt like the world was falling apart around him after Jacob hung up, and he regretted endlessly that he even had anything to do with Jacob.While he knew all along that Jacob was painfully mediocre and awfully vain, just the thought that Jacob's son-in-law was Charlie Wade still made Zachary eager to fawn over him.He thought that like the average person, even if they didn't feed a dog that wags its tail at them, they could at least give the dog a pat on the head. Even if they didn't feel like it, they could at least not take away the dog's food and then kick it twice.Zachary certainly didn't know that Jacob was exactly that—immoral, unconscientious, and unprincipled.But even as he regretted everything, it was too late now. He had to at least manage a solution before Jacob landed.It was do or die anyway, so he called Bill and instructed, "Find someone older than you with a really mean look to pretend to be your brother. Then, send him to Raymond and demand that bronze

Zachary's voice was choking with tears. "Please, don't just see how much it actually is—the problem is that we're just amateurs and sold that bronze sculpture as a forgery. That's something we can't change…"Jacob remained brazenly stubborn. "Don't give me that crap—that's not what I'm talking about. All I ask is for you to get that bronze sculpture back. I'll send you the 300 thousand later, and I don't care about anything else. Get it done, or I'm talking to Charlie. I'll even confess that I was up to no good, but I want it back! Hell, it's not like Charlie would do anything to me even if he finds out!"Zachary really burst into tears right then, sobbing, "Please, you can't do this! Master Wade won't punish you, but he will punish me! I'm where I am today only because he put a good word in with Don Albert for me… if he knew what we were up to such treachery and flips, I'm screwed!""What treachery?!" Jacob demanded, furious. "How is this treachery?! You came up with the plan, didn

Seeing that their flight was being slowly towed toward the runway, Elaine quickly urged Jacob, "If you're calling him, do it right now! They're towing our plane to the runway, and we won't be able to call him once we take off!""Right!" Jacob exclaimed excitedly. "I'll call him right now—if he doesn't get it done, I'll tell Charlie to destroy him! He's Don Albert's henchman, and even Don Albert sucks up to Charlie. That would definitely pressure him enough!""Okay! Elaine nodded, excited too. "Then call him right now, or we might never find the buyer again!""Yeah!" Jacob promptly whipped out his phone and called Zachary.Meanwhile, Zachary had presumed that Jacob wouldn't find out before his flight took off, so he was immediately nervous when Jacob called him.His nerves aside, he was afraid to not answer at all.Who knew why Jacob was calling. It could just be a false alarm.Hence, as he answered, he feigned calmness and asked, "Hello again, Mr. President! Shouldn't your fli

In reality, Jacob wouldn't usually be this bold, but he dared to run his mouth against the air marshal because twenty million was just too much money.Money emboldens, just like alcohol—while one wouldn't even mouth off for a couple thousand, one would murder for a million.And they were talking about twenty million here!Moreover, Jacob's rightful twenty million was going to his enemy, which incensed him further!Still, Elaine's words quickly calmed him because there was no scenario in which he would come up on top if he ended up behind bars.Elaine had been imprisoned for three days and ultimately ended up leaving with a broken leg.Heaven knows what would happen if he ended up arrested for fourteen days.With that in mind, he stopped arguing with the air marshall and returned to his seat, dejected. Clenching Elaine's hand, tears of grief rolled down his cheeks as he asked feebly, "What should I do now, dear? I thought it was junk and sold it for 300 thousand but it's actual

Jacob bellowed at the middle-aged man right then, "Then don't give me shit if you can't pay up! I only have one request, and that is I want off this plane right now!"Elaine came to a realization then, and she quickly asked, "Don't tell me… That thing we just saw online… you're the one who sold it yesterday?!"Jacob was on the verge of tears as he nodded. "Yes, it was me! That's why I want it back no matter what it takes!"Elaine became anxious as well. They were talking about twenty million, after all! Even if they lived off bank interest, they could still afford to spend ten grand per day for up to eight years!How could they let that slip through their grasp?!Pointing at the air stewardess, Elaine immediately snapped, "Hey, he's talking to you! Open the door, you hear?!"While the air stewardess was unable to handle both of them at once, a young man in a white collared shirt and black pants strode over, telling Jacob and Elaine, "Sorry to interrupt, but I'm the air marshal of

Seeing that comment, Elaine promptly turned to Jacob, "Dear, I don't think they made it up. It says the antique was treated like a Renaissance forgery and sold for 300 thousand to the dealer, but it actually was medieval and sold first thing this morning."Jacob's mind seemed to fade entirely in an instant, and he dropped his glass of champagne before he knew it, wetting his trousers.Elaine quickly pulled out a towel to wipe it, exclaiming, "What's wrong?! Why did you wet your pants?!"Then, realizing that Jacob's eyes and mouth were gaping wide while he sat frozen stiff almost as if he were dead, she promptly shook him, "What's gotten into you, Jacob? Are you alright?"As Jacob came to his senses, his eyes were suddenly blood-red.Suddenly on his feet, he bellowed in fury, "Fuck! My twenty million! Open the door! Open it right now! I'm getting off this plane!"The cabin crew and the other passengers were all shocked by his sudden bellow, and Elaine was just as confused. "Your t

While Zachary was caught feeling utterly helpless, the news that Raymond had made 20 million in a day was spreading like wildfire. Even though Zachary had already threatened Mick to not spill the beans, the problem was that all of Aurous Hill's Antique Street knew that over dozens of customers had come to Raymond's shop first thing in the morning.As such, everyone was curious—Raymond had supposedly made a blunder just yesterday yet now had dozens of people going to his shop? What on earth was he pulling?Hence, when most of the other collectors started to leave after failing to get the bronze sculpture, many gossipers came up to them to ask about it.For their part, the collectors were not hiding the truth, so they gave them a summary.Soon, all the antique dealers of Aurous Hill were left pondering the meaning of their existence.After all, they were told these collectors had prepared 20 million before rushing over to Aurous Hill in the night, yet they had all failed to buy th
