The ambulance sped off and took Aivan, who was already in a deep coma, away from the villa.Everyone else at the scene also had lingering fears, and they were suddenly at a loss for what to do.Shawn’s assistant, Marley, knew a little about Aivan, and he guessed that this guy must have raised something sinister for him to end up in the tragic and miserable situation that he was in currently.He was too lazy to be bothered about Aivan’s life and death. However, the auspicious time was coming soon, and Shawn and Janus’s family would also arrive at the villa at any moment. According to the procedure, the grand housewarming ceremony would have to be conducted after they arrived at the villa. Aside from the lion dance troupe, the most important thing was, in fact, the ritual which was supposed to have been officiated by Aivan.However, the Feng Shui master who was supposed to preside over the housewarming ceremony had just been taken away by an ambulance due to a strange serious injury

Charlie smiled faintly as he said, “My main purpose in coming to Hong Kong is to solve Uncle Janus’s matter for him. I will not be calculative as to whether Shawn will ultimately benefit from this or not.”Kathleen smiled and said, “I seem to have made a mistake just now. I think that Shawn should be at the losing end of this deal instead.”Charlie asked curiously, “Why did you change your opinion again?”Kathleen said seriously, “I didn’t take Marianne into account just now. She has already fallen in love with you now, so although Shawn has earned the endorsement of the Fox family, he has lost Marianne. So, ultimately, he is still at the losing end.”Charlie said a little embarrassedly, “You’re making it seem as though I’ve done something for Miss Marianne. I’ve only shown her a little more appreciation on the basis of ordinary friends. Besides that, I haven’t done anything to her, so how could it be considered as if Shawn has lost her to me, then?”Kathleen smiled slightly and s

By the time Charlie had walked to the terrace on the third floor of the villa alone, Shawn and Janus’s family’s convoy had already driven into the villa courtyard one after the other.The reporters flocked in after the convoy. The best lion dance troupe in Hong Kong then performed two life-like lion dances to perfection, and the scene was extraordinarily lively.Although Charlie had never liked lively scenes, he too felt extraordinarily relieved as he witnessed this scene. The thick smoke generated by the explosion of the firecrackers was accompanied by the strong and rich smell of gunpowder. This familiar yet unfamiliar smell suddenly gave Charlie a refreshing feeling.Growing up, he had always liked the smell of gunpowder smoke when the firecrackers burnt out. However, he hadn’t smelled this familiar smell for a long time since there was a ban on fireworks and firecrackers everywhere over the years.Perhaps it was also related to the Oskian people’s love of fireworks and firecr

Just as Charlie was sighing emotionally as he was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard a familiar voice next to him asking, “Mr. Wade, what are you thinking about that you seem to be so deep in your thoughts?”Charlie was slightly startled. He turned around and saw that Marianne had already arrived behind him at some point.He was surprised and also a little scared at the same time.He had not expected that he would be so numb and careless to the point that he had not even noticed it when an ordinary person like Marianne had approached him.He came back to his senses immediately, smiled slightly, and said to Marianne, “I was thinking about some things that happened in the past.”Having said that, Charlie asked her, “Miss Marianne, when did you come?” “I just arrived.” Marianne also smiled slightly and then walked over to Charlie’s side as she looked at the lively scene below and asked Charlie, “Were you thinking about your parents just now?”“Yes...” Charlie did not deny it,

Charlie did not refuse when he was faced with Marianne’s kindness and good intentions.Even though he was a billionaire now, he still held regrets for not having completed his higher education.In the past, it was not that he did not want to spend more time reading. It was just that there were many times when he did not have the time to do so. Over the few years when he had first married Claire, he was basically always wearing his apron aside from the time when he was sleeping. There was never anyone to encourage him or spur him on, so he really had not developed the habit of reading over the years. Since Marianne was willing to take on the role to urge and guide him, Charlie naturally agreed readily. Marianne was very happy. So, she said to Charlie, “We have reached a consensus, then. Remember to register an email when you have time. I will help to choose some books for you, and I will send you the electronic version of the books through email. That way, you can read it anytim

However, he was surrounded by countless reporters taking pictures at this time, and he could not see Kathleen anywhere. According to the original plan, Master Yale from Mystery Court was supposed to preside over the housewarming ceremony, but Shawn did not know why Aivan could not be found at the scene at all.To make matters worse, he suddenly discovered that the ritual altar that Aivan had spent a lot of effort to build had also disappeared without a trace.So, Shawn quickly pulled Marley aside and asked in a low voice, “Where is Master Yaleman?! Why is he missing?!”Marley explained in Shawn’s ear, “Mr. Long, something happened to Master Yaleman. It seems that he was bitten by something he had raised, and his injury looked very serious. He was just taken away in an ambulance...”“What?!” Shawn said in horror, “What the hell?! He was taken away in an ambulance?! Who is going to preside over the ceremony today, then?!”Marley hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Long. Mr. Wade has a

Kathleen’s smiling remark caused all the reporters on the scene to be stunned.Although everyone had guessed that Kathleen might know Shawn, no one expected that Kathleen would show Shawn so much respect. In her capacity as the chairman of a trillion-dollar enterprise, she would have already made Shawn shine if she were to merely attend as a guest of honor. Unexpectedly, Shawn had actually invited Kathleen here to host the housewarming ceremony, and to everyone, Kathleen was showing Shawn great respect by agreeing to do so.After all, Shawn’s assets were only one percent of the Fox family’s assets. When Shawn saw the media reporters’ shocked expressions, he only felt an unprecedented sense of relief in his heart. Everyone loved being respected and admired. Shawn only felt that he had never been admired so greatly in his life.When Kathleen came forward, the media reporters who were originally planning to watch Shawn end up as a laughingstock also placed their usual gossiping a

There were also two VIP seats reserved for Charlie and Kathleen at the scene.After Charlie had been seated, Shawn stood up with a glass of wine and said to Charlie with immense gratitude, “Mr. Wade, I owe everything today to you. My gratitude toward you can no longer be described in words. I will offer a toast to you first to express my gratitude to you!” After saying that, Shawn drank all of the wine in his wine glass in one gulp without waiting for Charlie to speak.Charlie smiled slightly and asked him, “Mr. Long, are you satisfied with today’s affairs?”“Yes! Most definitely!” Shawn nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, “Mr. Wade, I’m really a hundred... no, a thousand or ten thousand times satisfied with the arrangement today! Oh, no! I’m not satisfied, but I’m grateful. I’m truly grateful, Mr. Wade!”Charlie nodded and said indifferently, “It’s best if you’re satisfied. Everything is considered settled today for this matter, then!”Shawn hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, everyth

Julien shook his head and gingerly asked, "Jordan Fox likes his granddaughter?"Charlie smiled, shaking his head. "And your father doesn't like you as his eldest? Admiration is no guarantee of inheritance. And if we're talking about love, is it not a gesture of love that he provided you with endless cash and a life of privilege that only the world's top one percent can enjoy?"Julien also noticed the flaw in his logic. "Then, do you perchance know why, Mr. Wade?"Charlie nodded. "Jordan granted his position to Kathleen because that was the condition I proposed to him in return for prolonging his life. No succession, no pills—no matter how much he was willing to pay me for it."Then, Charlie looked Julien straight in the eye as he continued solemnly, "If the day comes and I find you more reliable, I will choose you as the sole broker for your father's pills. Just think about it—if the day comes that you're the only person your father can get his pills from, would he say no if you as

Charlie chuckled. "You might think that I'm screwing you over, but in reality, I'm indirectly solidifying your place as heir apparent. From what I've learned, your family has not confirmed who it would be."Julien chuckled awkwardly. "You're right, but I am now. With the pills you've provided, however, my father might live longer than me…"Charlie nodded. "Since we have the fortune of meeting over drinks, I shall cut to the chase—to me, it doesn't matter who between you or your father lives longer. My priority is with whom I could hope for a better partnership."And right now, your father has shown more sincerity than you have, which was why I asked Helena to provide him with my pills."Pausing, Charlie then asked, "Are you aware of your father's recent activities? In Northern Europe?""A little," Julien replied. "A data center or something along those lines."Charlie nodded again. "See, I've asked Helena to make him a new offer—I will provide him with one pill should he build an

Charlie had actually invited Julien over to bring him aboard his metaphorical ship.While not particularly down-to-earth, Julien was still the second most important figure in the Rothschild family, and having him on board wouldn't hurt.Moreover, just having drinks with Charlie and Raymond here basically told everyone they were friends. If Harrison knew that Julien was meeting the son of Curtis Wade as well as 'Biden Cole', who had taken the Four-Sided Treasure Tower from the Rothstchilds, he just might have Julien shot.While Julien may not become the head of the Rothschild family anytime soon, he would prove very useful.With Helena basically controlling Harrison and Charlie himself controlling Julien, traveling Stateside would be no different from going home."It seems I must reevaluate my opinion of you now with that attitude."Charlie smiled at Julien and raised his cup, "Come, let's have a toast—to friendship."Julien nodded, picked up his cup, exclaiming cheerfully, "To f

Pausing, Julien then said, "I mostly drink wine and the occasional whiskey.""How much are those, usually?" Raymond asked.Julien thought about it. "If it's table wine, 10,000 to 50,000 USD. For bigger occasions, it'd be something over a hundred thousand."Raymond nodded and pointed at the bottle of Oskian vodka he had bought. "Guess how much that is?"Julein shook his head. "I don't usually drink Oskian alcohol, so I'm not too sure…""Come on," Charlie chuckled. "We're not asking if you know—we're just asking you to take a guess.""Then…" Julien quickly said. "I'm guessing, three thousand?""Three thousand?" Raymond chuckled and shook his head. "That's way too flattering. It's around 7 USD.""Seven bucks?!" Julien exclaimed, and he blurted, "You usually drink something that cheap, Mr. Cole?""Well, not stateside," Raymond smiled. "But I liked it after I ordered one from a diner yesterday. It's cheap, and it has quality."Julien gulped as he stared at his own cup filled to th

Julien flinched and promptly threw his hands up. "No, no, no… please don't say that, Mr. Wade! That's not what I mean—as a son, it's only right that I hope my father lives long and prospers. Why wouldn't I want him to?"Charlie pointed out, "Then why'd you say that I've screwed you over repeatedly?""Oh. I, uh…" Julien wasn't sure how to respond to that, and he groaned unhappily, "I was not being mindful with words. I take that back…" Charlie nodded. "Then, I'll give you another chance.""Huh?" Julien was left confused, and he quickly asked, "Another chance… for what?"Charlie clapped him on the shoulder again, smiling, "We're old friends, aren't we? Why would I screw you over? Anyway, your turn."Julien was left utterly aggrieved as he read through Charlie's intention—that was precisely the definition of screwing him over!If his father knew he had come to Aurous Hill to hang out with these two, especially Biden Cole, he would definitely be removed as heir! And yet, Charlie

Having seen a sliver of the common folk's plight, Julien turned back to the journey at hand.Soon, his MPV arrived at Aurous Hill's Antique Street.As it was closing hours, the place appeared bleak, almost as though it had been completely abandoned. It was only during opening hours and the few hours before closing that the place became most alive anyway.Most of the time, the vendors and employees outnumbered the guests, and during closing hours, it would get very quiet. One wouldn't even find strays here as there weren't scraps around.Still, Julien had no idea what the hell the place was, even as he arrived outside Treasure Measure following the location Charlie had sent.Once he was sure he was at the right place, he called Charlie, immediately sounding respectful and flattering, "I'm here, Mr. Wade. If you don't mind opening the door…""Alright, just hang on," Charlie said and put down the phone while turning to Raymond, who was putting the food on a folding table, "Our frien

The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What

At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav

The cabbie nodded. "Well, Talbot Associates, it is! They're said to be number two."-While Jacob was heading off to consult a law firm, Charlie was calling Julien Rothschild over the phone.The manchild had just had room service and was lounging on the couch, fiddling with his phone.After visiting the kennels with Charlie, he had been idling his days away at the hotel, waiting for Salem and his son to post that video of them being out at sea.Once that was done, Julien would return to the States, once more the heir apparent of the Rothschilds. Still, it was boring to simply lounge around in the hotel, and he would really like to strengthen his ties with Charlie.However, he was also afraid of being too forward as Charlie could be intimidating, and he could upset him—just like a fan eager to get close to their idol but was still worried about their idol getting disgusted with them.As such, he never expected Charlie to call him, and he immediately answered eagerly, "Good even
