Ichiro did not know what Charlie was planning when he took him in. He did not even know that Charlie was planning to sell him to his brother.Charlie did not have any sympathy for Ichiro at all. On the contrary, Charlie hated Ichiro from the depths of his heart.Fortunately, he had been on guard. Otherwise, things would be terrible if Anthony’s magical pills had been stolen and taken away by Ichiro.Even though Charlie was not sure whether the Japanese would be able to analyze his own prescription, he thought that it would definitely breed chaos if they succeeded in figuring out his prescription.Therefore, in Charlie’s opinion, the Japanese should be blamed for their own actions!Whether it was the six men dressed in black, Masao in Tokyo, or Ichiro who was about to die, all of them could only blame themselves for their deaths!Isaac drove Charlie home before dawn.This time, Isaac had a brand new understanding of Charlie’s strength.He had originally thought that Charlie was
Charlie nodded.Kenneth’s situation was very clear to him. He had directly destroyed his nerves with infuriating energy. In other words, he would never be able to regain and restore his manhood in this lifetime. Anthony did not give him the magical pills, but even if Anthony had given him the pills, it would be completely useless.If Kenneth insisted on taking any medicine indiscriminately to try and restore his own manhood, it would only allow the medicine to continue accumulating in the nerves, which would ultimately lead to tissue necrosis.It seemed as though the Weaver family was really in deep trouble this time. Kenneth was not only a difficult person, but he was also an evil person. He would never give up until he had completely destroyed the Weaver family.At this time, Isaac said, “The second young lord of the Webb family is now locked up at Castle Peak Psychiatric Hospital. It is said that he had come down with a very strange disease. He has to eat sh*t every hour and if
Claire woke up at around seven in the morning.As soon as Charlie heard some movements, he hurriedly pretended to be asleep as he laid motionlessly on the floor.After getting up, Claire stretched as she got out of bed quietly. When she looked at Charlie, who was sleeping on the floor at this time, Claire could not help but feel a little distressed.Ever since Charlie married her and became the son-in-law of the Wilson family, he had been sleeping on the floor for more than three years.When they first got married, Claire really did not care much about Charlie and she did not have any feelings for him.However, after spending so many years with him, Claire did not know why she felt particularly safe with Charlie by her side.Sometimes, Claire was even afraid that Charlie would suddenly leave her.In this recent period of time, so much had happened at home and it made Claire even more certain that Charlie was actually the only person she could actually rely on the most in this wo
At half past seven in the morning, Charlie pretended that he had just woken up. After washing up, he went out to buy something before he came home.Claire hurriedly headed to her office after eating breakfast. After that, Elaine put down the dishes before she dragged her husband, Jacob, out to visit the villa at Thompson First with her. She was already starting to lose her patience since it was taking such a long time for the renovations at the villa to be completed.Jacob was very unwilling to go and he tried to persuade her, “There are several floors in the villa and it adds up to more than a thousand square meters. The renovation and decorating job for the villa must be really very laborious. It should probably take more than half a year for them to be done with the renovation works. It’s useless even if you are anxious.”Elaine replied in a dissatisfied manner, “I don’t care! I have already lived in this broken house for long enough. If the renovations aren’t completed by next m
At this time, Jeffrey and Liam were stopped by the staff of Serene World Clinic.“Excuse me, did you make an appointment for your visit today?”The guy asked as he looked at Jeffrey very vigilantly.He had never seen Jeffrey before and there had been too many messy and inappropriate people coming to Serene World Clinic to look for Anthony in the past two days. Therefore, the young man did not dare to let anyone in so casually.Jeffrey hurriedly replied, “Hello, young brother. I am Jeffrey, the young lord of the Weaver family. Please inform the genius doctor, Dr. Simmons, that I admit I must have offended him at the Chinese Medical Expo the other day. The reason I’m here today is to apologize to Dr. Simmons and I really hope that he’ll be able to give me an opportunity to apologize to him in person.”The young man replied coldly, “Dr. Simmons has said he won’t be seeing anyone who does not have an appointment with him! So, please leave immediately!”“You should at least be speakin
After he was done speaking, Anthony turned around as he was ready to chase them away.Jeffrey panicked and started begging, “I’m really sorry for what I did, Dr. Simmons. I know that it was my mistake. It’s my fault. I have no complaints at all if you want to hit or scold me. It’s just that the Weaver family has encountered a huge crisis this time. Could you really bear to see the Weaver family completely destroyed just like that?”Anthony replied coldly, “Sorry, but I’m not that familiar with you at all. Moreover, your family has nothing to do with me. Please leave immediately.”As soon as he heard Anthony’s words, Jeffrey hurriedly snatched the brocade box from Liam before he handed it over to Anthony and said respectfully, “Dr. Simmons, this is just a token of my appreciation. It is a piece of Hetian jade worth more than five million dollars! Please accept it!”Anthony did not even look at the so-called Hetian jade before he said unceremoniously, “Don’t tell me how it’s worth fi
When the staff member saw that Liam had entered Serene World Clinic again, he scowled before he said, “Why are you back here again? Please leave now! You are not welcomed here!”Liam begged, “Brother, I have something that I’d like to say to Dr. Simmons in person. I’ll leave as soon as I say my words.”The staff member frowned before he said, “Dr. Simmons has already said that he does not want to see you. Why are you still being so thick-skinned?”Liam knelt on the ground before he yelled, “Dr. Simmons, I am Liam and I would like to speak to you face to face. Please be merciful and listen to me for a short while. If you refuse to see me, I will just kneel and wait outside until you decide to meet me!”At this time, Anthony had already walked into the consultation room at the back of Serene World Clinic. However, he could not help but sigh when he heard Liam’s voice.He had already been in contact with the illegitimate child of the Weaver family a couple of times and Anthony could
Liam had never told anyone about his life. Anthony was the first person that he ever told his story to.Ever since he was brought back to the Weaver family, Liam had always been insulted and humiliated by everyone around him.Since his childhood, his father, Jordan, and his half-brother, Jeffrey, had always hated him. He had always been scolded, beaten, and subjected to various sorts of humiliations but he had slowly gotten used to it.He had been very patient as he slowly waited for the day when he would finally be able to find a suitable opportunity to get out of his dark and miserable situation.Since the Weaver family was suffering from such a huge crisis and since Jordan had already officially announced that the position of chairman of Weaver Pharmaceuticals would be given to anyone who could resolve this crisis, Liam decided that he should take advantage of this opportunity to use the thousand-year-old snow white ginseng that he had kept hidden for more than twenty years to t
With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j
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
