Charlie did not have the slightest good impression of Shawn from Hong Kong.It was not because of what he had done to Janus. Charlie was fair and objective, and although Janus was the weaker party in this matter, this matter was indeed Janus’ fault. It was only human nature for Shawn to want to take revenge against Janus for his dignity and reputation. However, what made Charlie most dissatisfied was that Shawn was a person who went back on his own word.According to Janus’ dictation in the roast goose restaurant at that time, Janus had called his father, Curtis, for help as soon as the incident had happened. Charlie’s father had also flown to Hong Kong immediately and reached an agreement with Shawn so that Shawn would let Janus off on his account. However, not long after that, Charlie’s father had had a conflict with his grandfather, and he had brought his wife and Charlie to settle down in Aurous Hill. After that, his parents were then murdered. The first thing Shawn had
As soon as the call was connected, he asked, “Quinn, is Angus still with you?”Quinn said, “I just sent someone to send him back. By the way, Brother Charlie, what happened tonight? Dorothy said that many people died tonight, and even Inspector Lammy was killed?!”Charlie hummed slightly and told her about the situation over the phone.After listening to Charlie, Quinn exclaimed, “Oh, my God! How could there be such cruel gangsters...?!”Having said that, she said quite self-reproachfully, “Brother Charlie, do you think that there is a mole in my team? Otherwise, how could these people work so well together? Surprisingly, they attacked when the background music was strongest, and there is a high probability that they seemed to have figured out the flow of the concert in advance...”“Not necessarily,” Charlie said indifferently. “At present, it can be determined that my aunt is the mole, but she is already dead. I’m guessing that the gangsters did not know about the flow of your co
Charlie had originally planned to let Janus continue living peacefully in Oskiatown first. After that, Charlie would take some time to go to Hong Kong in the future to settle his affairs for him.However, since Shawn was so impatient and was taking the initiative to do something, Charlie could only go to Hong Kong to meet him first, then.Hong Kong was far away from the United States, and it would take an ordinary plane ten hours each way. Moreover, it also took time to process things, so Charlie estimated that he would have to leave the United States for at least three to five days, or even longer.What he was most worried about was Claire.Although he had already arranged for female soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies to protect Claire in secret, he was still worried about letting Claire live and study in the United States alone.At this time, Jacob was still engaged in a cultural exchange in South Korea. The only person who could really come to the United States to accompany Clai
Elaine had always been bullied by Hannah when she was in the Wilson family, and she held a lot of grudges against Hannah. However, now that Hannah was suddenly currying favor with her and flattering her, this instantly magnified her vanity and gave her the refreshing feeling that her life had turned around completely. So, she was also happy to hang out with Hannah every day.For Elaine, she could only feel that she was really a different person from who she used to be in the past when Hannah was flattering and fawning over her. So, when Elaine heard Hannah’s voice over the other end of the line, she hummed and said, “I haven’t slept enough yet. What time is it?”Hannah hurriedly said, “It’s almost eleven o’clock! Didn’t you say yesterday that you wanted to go shopping in the mall today? I’m all ready and am waiting right in front of your house! Are we still going out today?”It was only then that Elaine came to her senses and blurted out, “Oh, no! I forgot about it! I was planning
Elaine drove the domineering Rolls-Royce Cullinan all the way to Harbour City in Aurous Hill.After carefully driving into the underground parking lot with more than a dozen cars, she finally parked the car. She then went to the first floor with Hannah.The first floor in Harbour City was filled almost entirely with first-tier luxury brands.Amongst them, half of it was clothing and luggage brands such as LV and Gucci, whereas the other half were jewelry brands such as Bvlgari and Cartier. Elaine took Hannah to the Bvlgari store as soon as they arrived. It was not that Bvlgari was much better compared to the other brands, but it was mainly because Elaine liked the name ‘Bvlgari’, and felt that it was festive.As soon as they entered Bvlgari, Elaine went straight to the counter in the middle and sat on the high stool in front of the counter as she slapped the Rolls-Royce key on the counter with her right hand and placed the Hermes handbag that Charlie had given her on the counte
After saying that, she hung up the phone, stepped in front of Elaine, and smiled as she said, “Madam, come. Let me help you try it on.”Elaine nodded and put on the necklace with the salesgirl’s help. After that, she kept looking in the mirror.The price-performance ratio of the jewelry from this big brand was really thin. The 18K gold chain was not worth a lot of money, and the pendant made of broken diamonds also did not cost much. When it was put together, it was estimated that a fraction of the price was already enough to cover it.However, what Elaine valued was not the price-performance ratio, but the reputation-to-price ratio.The so-called price-performance ratio was the ratio between product performance and price. For the same price, the better the performance would naturally be better. As for the reputation-to-price ratio, it was the ratio between the reputation and the price of the product. At the same price, the higher the reputation, the more important it was. Even i
The salesgirl’s sentence that stated that Elaine was the top amongst the noblewomen overwhelmed Elaine immediately.She felt that the salesgirl’s words had a kind of chemical energy which could produce a large amount of dopamine that would rush straight to her head through a chemical reaction with her eardrum. Simply put, it made her lose her sense. This feeling was like a young man who had just learned to smoke and had grabbed his uncle’s dry tobacco pouch and taken a big puff of it.It not only went up to his head, but it also made him feel a little dizzy.Elaine was so happy that she could not even close her mouth. She looked at the salesgirl, and the more Elaine looked at her, the more she liked her. Hannah was indeed very good at patronizing her, and they had obviously been sisters-in-law for decades. Hannah could also praise her whenever she wanted to.However, if Elaine were to really compare the salesgirl in front of her with Hannah, Hannah would definitely lose out.
However, when Elaine thought of how the salesgirl had already set up the atmosphere, wouldn’t she be unable to live up to the title as the ‘top amongst the noblewomen’ if she were to say that she could not afford it? Just as Elaine was feeling uneasy, the salesgirl placed the treasure of the store in front of her.Elaine looked down at the price tag and suddenly exclaimed, “Oh, my God! Seven, eight, eight, eight... Seven, followed by six eights with no decimal points... This is f*cking 7.88 million dollars!”The salesgirl in front of her took the necklace out, looked at Elaine, and then looked at the necklace before she shook her head and said, “Madam, I suddenly feel that this necklace is somewhat dull in front of you.”Elaine was about to cry.‘A necklace that is nearly eight million dollars also looks somewhat dull in front of an old lady like me?! Do you think that I’m as bright as the sun?!’Hannah, who was behind her, was also shocked and blurted out, “This necklace is too
