Chapter 4661

Author: Lord Leaf
As Elaine spoke, she said very solemnly, “You two cannot let me go back on my word when it comes to this kind of matter!”

Claire looked at Charlie and asked, “Honey, what do you think?”

Charlie smiled faintly and said, “Since Mom has already made an agreement with others, it would really be inappropriate for us not to go.”

Elaine hurriedly nodded and blurted out, “My dear son-in-law is indeed the best at the most critical moment!”

After that, she quickly seized the opportunity and said, “This matter is settled, then. We will go there together at six o’clock in the evening tomorrow. Claire, you can attend your class as usual tomorrow, and my dear son-in-law can come and buy some gifts with me. It’s our first time visiting someone’s house, so it’d not be good for us to go empty-handed.”

When Claire saw that Charlie had agreed, she could not say anything else. So, she nodded and said, “Okay, then.”

The following afternoon, Elaine brought Charlie with her as they drove to downto

Huh? We don’t charge neighborhoods to have police protect them in the US. The police are budgeted by the city.

    Lucy warmly invited Charlie’s family into the house. At this time, the living room was already filled with the aroma of food. The interior decoration of this villa was very elegant. At first glance, a lot of effort had been put into it, and it could even be compared to the first-class villa in Thompson First. There were many photos of adults and children hanging on the walls of the home, and each of the photos was very heartwarming. After looking around, Elaine gained a new understanding of Lucy’s strength, and she hurriedly introduced Lucy to Claire and Charlie as she smiled and said, “This is Lucy, the vice-captain of our Rampage Team that I always tell you about! You two should call her Aunt Lucy!”Having said that, Elaine then said to Lucy, “Lucy, this is my daughter, Claire, and the one next to her is my son-in-law, Charlie.” Claire said politely to Lucy, “Hello, Aunt Lucy. I’m sorry to bother you!” Lucy smiled and said, “What are you saying?! Although your mother and I

    Elaine sighed emotionally and said, “It’s really frustrating to always be moving like this all the time.”Lucy said casually, “It doesn’t matter if we move. Over the past few years, we have been buying a house wherever we move to. This house that we’re living in now is a new house that we just bought last year.”Elaine was amazed at Lucy’s family’s financial resources. It seemed as though buying a house was just a game to her, and she could buy one at will.So, Elaine could not help but ask, “Lucy, the price of houses in New York is not cheap, right?”Lucy smiled and said, “Actually, it’s still okay. In a place where every inch of land is valuable, houses with high prices also have their own value. Buying a house in such a place is not a consumption but an investment.”Elaine could not help but ask, “How much does it cost to buy an apartment in New York?” Lucy thought about it for a while and said casually, “You’d have to prepare ten to twenty million US dollars to buy a large a

    When Lucy heard that the meal was ready, she immediately extended a warm invitation to Charlie’s family of three to go to the dining room.At this time, there was a man in his sixties who was busy setting the plates in the dining room. After Lucy’s introduction, it was revealed that this man was her husband, Jalen Marten.The young man who had invited them to the dining table earlier was Lucy’s son, Kyler Marten. Jalen was very enthusiastic. After inviting the family of three to sit down at the dining table, he smiled and asked Charlie, “What kind of wine do you like to drink, Charlie? I have red wine and Moutai here.” Charlie said politely, “I’m sorry, Uncle Jalen. I have to drive, so I won’t drink.”Jalen was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said, “It’s okay. Don’t drink if you’re driving.” After saying that, he looked at his son, Kyler, and said, “Kyler, if you have nothing else to do tonight, why don’t we both have a drink?”Kyler smiled and nodded. “L

    Jalen and his son, Kyler, had already begun exchanging toasts at this time. Both of them seemed to love to drink. The father raised his glass to have a drink with his son. After the two had put their glasses down after drinking, the son then raised his glass again to have a drink with his father.Kyler’s wife, who was aside, did not seem to mind it. She simply played with her cell phone and ate by herself, and she rarely spoke the entire time.However, what made Charlie uncomfortable was that although Kyler was drinking, his eyes were always secretly looking for opportunities to glance at his wife, Claire. Moreover, there was a lustful look in his eyes, and it was obvious at first glance that he had ill intentions.Charlie could not help but give Kyler a warning look before Kyler finally restrained himself a little. The strange thing was that Kyler’s wife would occasionally look up to take some food, and she could also see her husband stealthily glancing at Claire from time to

    After sending Elaine’s family off, Lucy’s family of four, which was originally warm and inviting, suddenly became somewhat silent. Lucy’s expression was a little grim, whereas the other three felt as if they could finally rest and relax now that the performance was finally over. Lucy’s expression was grim as she returned to the room. She sat down on the sofa directly and raised her eyes to look at Jalen and Kyler. After that, she raised her hand and smashed a glass at their feet. Both of them were so frightened that they jumped back in place in fear. Immediately afterward, Lucy then cursed, “You two b*stards! You only f*cking know how to drink and drink! You lose your mind as soon as you see liquor, and it seems as if both of you lost your souls when you smell the fragrance of liquor! Don’t you know that business matters are the most important?! If you still cannot get rid of this f*cking problem, you can just go back to where you f*cking came from, then!” As she said that, she

    Kyler asked again, “Aunt Martha, if Elaine succeeds in bringing the goods to Hong Kong, should we arrange for someone to kidnap her after that? After all, her family is quite rich, so we cannot simply let her go in vain!”Lucy sneered and said, “Of course. We’ll let her help us bring the goods there, but we will only be getting one million US dollars if we succeed. If we kidnap her, we may be able to get a few million US dollars out of them! But we will have to wait until she arrives successfully in Hong Kong before we carry out this plan. Otherwise, it will be useless if she already gets caught in New York.”After that, Lucy stood up and said, “I’m going to the Rampage Team now. There is an old man over there who came to the United States to visit his relatives. He has been flirting with me recently, and he will be going back in a couple of days. I feel like I can win him over if I work hard. You guys should prepare yourself and head to the Oskian area in Seattle to see if there is

    Kyler nodded hastily upon hearing Lucy’s order. He then took out his cell phone, found a contact named ‘Customer 15’, and then called the other party. A weak voice came from the other end of the line and asked, “Hello. Have you found a suitable match for me?”Kyler snorted and said lightly, “The match has already been found. The other party is a middle-aged man of about forty years old. He is strong, fit, and young. You can be guaranteed to have no problems for twenty to thirty years after the successful transplant. If you want the transplant as soon as possible, you can head to Mexico for the surgery next week for eight hundred thousand US dollars.”As soon as the other party heard this, he immediately said, “Didn’t we agree on five hundred thousand US dollars?!” Kyler said disdainfully, “Five hundred thousand US dollars is the carpooling price, and this is the exclusive price. If you’re not in a hurry, you can wait for the carpooling price, but I estimate that you will have to

    She had met Mrs. Zerbe at a restaurant in Providence. Mrs. Zerbe was quite old, and she was a cleaning lady at the restaurant. As Lucy was eating, she had started chatting with Mrs. Zerbe and learned that her son had been unemployed for a year as he had not been able to find a suitable job. This was when Lucy had begun targeting the other party.Once she met this kind of person who had a difficult life and wanted to find a job to support his family, she would then use the position of a high-paying seaman as bait to coax the other party to head over to Mexico where she would then murder the target and then sell his organs.Moreover, she had specifically designed a serial plan. First, she would inform the other party that she had this channel that she could introduce to them. After gaining the other party’s interest with a high salary, she would then pretend to ask a friend to help perform a free medical explanation for the other party. She would also come up with a reason, saying that

    Charlie chuckled. "Don't sell yourself short, Mr. Hart. There are plenty of business folk who got so used to their comfort zone that they became caught in the illusion that they can be successful in anything they do. It's a mindset that leads to them blindly developing new projects and new competition, and then they end up losing big."If memory serves, there have been real estate businesses that started mineral water brands, search engines that tried the car industry, e-commerce sites attempting social media, and vice-versa. All of them are multi-billion-dollar companies venturing into new frontiers, but all to unimpressive outcomes."Pausing, Charlie then continued, "You've mentioned rising above the competition amidst the development of the new energy industry. That would get anyone's attention, and it is why I believe that you definitely will make a strong impression with your strategizing and knowledge of the basic principles."Yolden found it hard to refuse, seeing that Charli

    Having lost it all, Jacob really looked like he wouldn't be getting back up.But fortunately, he had a pillar in the form of Elaine.In fact, Elaine would serve to be a container, whipping Jacob into shape if he got too full of himself.But on the other hand, now that Jacob was utterly despondent, she would be forcing him to smile and function in general.Elaine's attitude to the entire issue was clear as well. Even though Jacob had just lost his job, she would make him go shopping with her in Dubai even if he fell into a coma. Even if he was dead, she'd just cremate him and bring his ashes along.Hence, with Elaine's firm grip around Jacob's leash, he went on strolls, going shopping and taking selfies with Elaine everyday, eventually easing the toll on his mood and spirit.-Back at Aurous Hill, Charlie was preparing for Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall's wedding as it approached.Yolden was a schoolmate of his mother, Ashley Layna Acker, as well as Charlie's elder.And while Cha

    "See you." As soon as Charlie hung up on Matilda, Don Albert's call came right after.He sounded nervous as Charlie answered the phone, saying, "Master Wade, I think I might have gone too far…""Wait, what's this about?" Charlie asked."Your father-in-law, of course…" Don Albert sighed. "You asked me to leave him hanging for a while, so I did. I even refused when he asked to book a room in Heaven Springs.""Well, that's not a problem, is it?" Charlie shrugged. "He and Zachary ganged up for some real mischief. As you are Zachary's boss, it's right that you refused him because you didn't appreciate what he did.""That's just it. I thought that approach was just right as well," Don Albert quickly said. "I wasn't playing nice when Mr. Bay of the Calligraphy and Painting Association called me either. That's when he said he'd try to save Jacob's position as vice-president, but I told him it's none of my business."I then hung up on him without much thought, only for Zachary to tell m

    Meanwhile, Charlie was downstairs in Claire's office, waiting to pick her up and head home.That was when Matilda called him, asking as soon as he answered, "Charlie, do you know how Jacob is doing? He never answered any of my texts—is he going to be alright?""I wouldn't know," Charlie replied. "Both he and Elaine are in Dubai on a trip… What's wrong?""He resigned," Matilda sighed. "I only saw the public statement that the Calligraphy and Painting Association posted this afternoon. It says that he tendered the resignation himself, but it doesn't really feel that way. I wonder if he's at odds with other members of the association…"Charlie was actually surprised to hear that Jacob had resigned.He had told Zachary to expose the truth of the bronze sculpture fraud case to teach Jacob a lesson so that Jacob would understand the meaning of true pain.However, he anticipated that Mr. Bay would at least keep Jacob around with an unimportant job even if Jacob did lose some money and e

    Falling apart in both mind and spirit, Jacob was crying as he disembarked and took a cab to the hotel.Elaine, who had been lying around for 24 hours, was stunned speechless as she watched him enter, crying like a child.In contrast, Elaine looked like a mother to Jacob just then as he threw himself into her arms and bawled, "Darling… That prick Mr. Bay screwed me over… I have nothing left now…"Taken aback for a moment that Jacob would bawl in her arms like that, Elaine soon came to her senses and patted his back as she comforted him, "Oh, stop crying already. Who cares about some Calligraphy and Painting groupies? We certainly don't! Just hear me out and don't ever go there again!"Jacob kept sobbing, "But I care… I want to go…"Annoyed, Elaine's hand that had been patting Jacob a moment ago slid down to his hip and pinched him viciously before he noticed."Ow!" Jacob yelped in pain, and he demanded indignantly, "What was that for?!""Shut up!" Elaine snapped, glowering. "I wa

    Jacob couldn't even be bothered by the looks others were giving him, and he called Mr. Bay immediately.Mr. Bay had already gone home and was seated on the couch with his wife, watching his phone and waiting for Jacob to call and demand an explanation.Mr. Bay knew that he had to answer for this and that if he avoided Jacob, it may well be a confession that he had screwed Jacob over.So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to come clean with Jacob.Naturally, by coming clean, he meant passing the buck as his wife had suggested.Hence, as he answered Jacob's call, he immediately sighed in embarrassment, "Hey, Jacob. I'm so sorry about that…"However, Jacob was so furious he immediately started bellowing, "Mr. Bay! Are you fucking with me here?! You said that the resignation letter was more of a formality, but you just made it public instead! So, all those things you said about helping me were just a trap, was it?! You're despicable! And to think I've been so good to you, even

    The repeated flights had left Jacob tormented.Even before he actually had the time to enjoy Dubai, he had already gotten sick of the place and didn't want to ever return.And on the flight, he couldn't stop his thoughts from going astray.Now that he was not getting back the money he had lost, his only hope was Mr. Bay.Fortunately, Mr. Bay was serious about his promise that he would at least save him a job as department head. That was why, despite his thoughts running astray, he never considered the thought that he would be kicked out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.As soon as his flight landed, he didn't wait to turn off his phone's flight mode, waiting for the internet connection to return so that he could ask Mr. Bay about the meeting.Once he did, he received a ton of messages from public accounts to acquaintances—many had already found out that he had resigned from the post of administrative vice-president and wanted to ask how he was doing.And Matilda was

    The Calligraphy and Painting Association was certainly efficient—soon after the meeting was dismissed, the news that the administrative vice-president had resigned was posted on their official page and social media.The notice was simple and never mentioned what Jacob had done, only that the administrative vice-president had asked to resign for personal reasons. The request had since been voted upon, and all members had agreed to it.And that was how a simple and short message kicked Jacob out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association entirely.In the city, other associations closely connected with the Calligraphy and Painting Association were the various cultural societies and circles of antique enthusiasts and the Senior University. In fact, most fans of the public page of the Calligraphy and Painting Association were from the Senior City, and every lecturer, student, and even guest lecturer were subscribed.As a matter of fact, that was entirely Jacob's doing. After his lect

    There weren't that many members in the Calligraphy and Painting Association—just a handful over twenty.Hence, at Mr. Bay's request, everyone showed up at the conference at 1 pm.He chose the afternoon as there were a handful who were away on outreach, including Walker, who was subbing for Jacob's lectures.Once the entire Calligraphy and Painting Association save for Jacob was informed of the mandatory meeting, every member was there on the hour, seated primly and in attention in the huge conference room.Mr. Bay didn't waste his breath on the preamble either—as soon as he saw that everyone had arrived, he announced, "Everyone, I've gathered you here today because our administrative vice-president, Jacob Wilson, has been alleged to be involved in a certain malicious scheme."Last night, Mr. Wilson submitted his resignation to me, and after a discussion with my vice-presidents, we've all decided to hold a vote. It will be open to every member in the association as we will be decid
