She stood up, reached out her hands, and grabbed Elaine’s collar as she stared into Elaine’s eyes and said coldly, “Remember this! I’m the queen of this place! You will stand when I tell you to stand, and kneel when I tell you to kneel! Even if I tell you to eat sh*t, you have to open your mouth and swallow it for me! You must obey all my orders unconditionally as long as you want to live! Otherwise, I will make your life worse than death itself! Do you understand?”Elaine panicked and nodded. “I understand... I understand...”Chloe snorted and continued, “There used to be a newcomer like you who only obeyed me on the surface but was always very resentful and dissatisfied with me. Later, I stabbed her in both eyes with a toothbrush while she was sleeping. If you don’t respect me from the bottom of your heart, the next person to be blinded by me will be you!”Elaine was so frightened that her whole body started shaking uncontrollably. She could not even speak.Deep down in her heart
After sending the three young girls over to the cell, they turned around and left the cell.Chloe was in a good mood. She winked at her subordinates, and eight to nine of them then gathered around and surrounded the three girls in the middle.Chloe looked at the girl who had allocated the beds for the other two and asked with a smile, “Newbie, why don’t you tell everyone what the three of you are in here for?”The girl looked up at Chloe and said lightly, “Why do you want to know why we came in here? What has it got to do with you?”“F*ck.” Chloe snorted coldly and cursed, “You’re pretty f*cking courageous. Do you know what this place is and who I am?”The girl said disdainfully, “I know that this is a prison, but I don’t know who you are, and I don’t want to know either. You don’t have to tell me. Please just stay away from me.”Chloe was instantly furious and said coldly, “You dare to be so f*cking arrogant in my territory? I think you must be tired of living, aren’t you?!”Wh
Chloe’s first reaction was one of shock and anger.She did not expect that this girl would dare to reach out her hand to stop her when she was going to slap the girl.When she tried to pull her hand back, she realized that her hand seemed to be firmly welded in mid-air, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not move her hand at all.Chloe was a little flustered. She weighed nearly two hundred pounds and was very strong. If it was a one-on-one battle, there were very few people who could be her opponent in this prison. Nevertheless, this thin Oskian girl in front of her was actually able to crush her in terms of strength. Chloe suddenly had a bad premonition.At this moment, the young girl looked at her and said coldly, “You courted your own death, so don’t blame me for not showing you mercy!”Having said that, she grabbed Chloe’s right wrist and suddenly bent it upward forcefully. Chloe’s wrist instantly turned upward at a creepy angle with a click!This severe pain mad
No one would have expected that Chloe, who was all-powerful and reigned in this prison cell, would take the initiative to kneel before the newcomer so quickly. She was even offering to be the other party’s lackey as she begged for mercy and tried to flatter the newcomer. In truth, a villain like Chloe was even more afraid of getting abused by others because she usually abused other people too much. It could also be said that this kind of person was actually the weakest. She was even more vicious than anyone when it came to the weak, but when she encountered the strong, she could flatter them more than anyone else.Chloe understood the current circumstance very well, and she knew that she no longer had any status to speak of in this matter. So, she did not dare to continue dwelling on her former status as the boss.She only wanted to protect herself as much as she could. The first goal that she wanted to achieve was to not offend these three people in front of her again, and the s
Elaine was also a little disappointed. She had originally planned to find a chance to get close to the other party, but she did not expect that the other party would not take everyone seriously. Still, she could understand why. After all, she was so strong, so it would be easier for her to teach someone a lesson than to teach a lackey. If she had this kind of strength, she would not take others seriously either.However, what Elaine did not expect was that the Oskian girl would look at her at this time and then immediately say very seriously with a friendly smile, “Auntie, you were the only one who gave us a kindly reminder among so many people just now. We can see that you must be a good person. What’s more, we are compatriots. Since you’ve shown us such respect, we will naturally show you respect as well!”Having said that, she looked around the prison cell, pointed at the people in the prison cell, and said to Elaine, “You will be in charge of managing all this trash in the futu
Elaine had never been a good person, and she was even less of a kind person.The fact that Elaine had subconsciously reminded this Oskian girl not to offend Chloe just now was already the peak of Elaine’s humanity over all these years. If Elaine’s humanity was a light bulb, that flash just now might be the only time this light bulb had been lit in decades. But coincidentally, the three female soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies had also been thinking about what method they could secretly employ to secretly and naturally provide support as well as help Elaine vent her anger. Unexpectedly, this flash of humanity had given them the perfect opportunity to use this topic to play their cards right.After that flash, Elaine’s heart was completely shrouded in hatred.The only thing she wanted to do now was to beat Chloe up hard and beat the crap out of her.So, after yelling out loud, Elaine quickly rushed up to Chloe. The more she looked at Chloe’s extremely swollen face, the angrier
Chloe did not feel as helpless and fearful as she was now when the three female soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies had knocked her down to the ground earlier.At this moment, Elaine had already become a crazy killing machine. Chloe only felt that she would lose her life if Elaine continued hitting her like this. So, she cried out loud, “Please... Please let me go... I really know that I was wrong now... I really will not bully anyone else anymore...”Elaine merely felt that Chloe’s screaming was very annoying. So, she held the pile of hair that she had pulled down directly into her hands, formed it into a ball, and stuffed the ball of hair into Chloe’s mouth. After that, she clenched her teeth and said, “F*ck you! You dared to force me to eat toothpaste, right? In that case, I will force you to eat your own hair! This is all your own hair, so hurry up and swallow it now!” Having said that, she remembered something and said again, “D*mn it! I’ll only be letting you off too easily if
When Jacelyn saw that Chloe’s face was swollen after getting beaten up, she was a little shocked and could not help but blurt out, “What... What happened to you?!”Chloe broke down emotionally at this time. She had originally regarded Jacelyn as her savior, but in the blink of an eye, Jacelyn had also become a prisoner. She felt extremely desperate at this point and blurted out, “Don’t worry about me, tell me what is going on with you first...”Jacelyn said with great pain, “Isn’t it all because I collaborated with you to sell the cigarettes at a high price? It’s all that damned 1024’s fault... Her family member brought a million US dollars in cash to buy a thousand cigarettes from my sister in one go. My sister had just put the cigarettes together, and the next thing I knew, the FBI had arrested me before I could even get off work...”“What did you say?!”Chloe exclaimed and then blurted out, “1024’s family bought a thousand cigarettes? Didn’t we agree on only buying two today?!”
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
