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
Anthony hung up the phone before he told Liam, “Mr. Wade has already agreed to meet you. You can come with me now.”When Liam heard this, he immediately showed an expression of gratitude as he bowed before Anthony and said, “Thank you for your generosity and help, Dr. Simmons!”Anthony waved his hand before he said, “I’m just lending Mr. Wade a hand. You don’t need to thank me. If Mr. Wade is willing to help you, then you can just thank him directly.”Liam nodded in a hurry before he said, “Okay, should we leave now, Dr. Simmons?”Anthony nodded before he called out to his granddaughter, Xyla, as he said, “Xyla! Can you drive us over to Mr. Wade’s house?”When Xyla heard that her grandfather was going to see Charlie, she was very excited and she quickly said, “Grandpa, let’s go over now! We wouldn’t want Mr. Wade to wait so long!”After that, Liam took his thousand-year-old snow white ginseng with him before he followed Anthony and Xyla out of Serene World Clinic. After that, the
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
Having sent his resignation letter, Jacob had no idea that it would be the catalyst for his dismissal.He didn't sleep well at the rundown motel either and had dark circles under his eyes as he rushed to the airport early the next morning.Clearing the checkpoint and boarding his flight, everything went smoothly until his flight to Dubai lifted off at 10 am.-Meanwhile, the other vice-presidents of the Calligraphy and Painting Association had arrived at Mr. Bay's office.They all had the same goal—pressure Mr. Bay and get Jacob kicked out of the association no matter what it took.Naturally, they knew that Mr. Bay most definitely would have to help Jacob since Jacob was close with Don Albert. If Mr. Bay insisted on protecting Jacob, they shouldn't insist, or Jacob would hear about it, and the man would bear a grudge.Even so, as the vice-presidents entered Mr. Bay's office and closed the door behind them, one of them couldn't help asking, "So, Mr. Bay—how do you intend to deal
Hence, Mr. Bay sent a reply in under five minutes after Jacob sent his resignation letter.As Jacob tapped on it, he immediately saw Mr. Bay's reply: Mr. Wilson's resignation is a huge loss to the association. However, we should also respect his individual situation and opinion. As such, to discuss our direction forward, all vice-presidents are required to attend a meeting at 10am tomorrow to discuss this matter.Jacob was still perplexed as to why Mr. Bay would reply to his mail and even summon the other vice-presidents for a meeting, and when he had a closer look, he saw that Mr. Bay had forwarded his mail to everyone else.Seeing that, Jacob thought to himself that Mr. Bay could just stick to a discussion involving just Mr. Bay and the vice-presidents instead of the entire association.As such, he sent a voice message on WhatsApp: "Mr. Bay, did you make a mistake and forward my mail to everyone else?"Mr. Bay soon replied, "Everyone already knows about your situation, so there'
Mr. Bay was left pursing his lips awkwardly. "T-That's way too despicable, don't you think? I'm the one who asked him to write a resignation and give up his place as vice-president while I handle the other vice-presidents and resolve the entire matter internally. Everyone can take a step back from escalation, and it's a solution that could please everyone."If I take that resignation at face value, won't it be like a bank goading a client into taking a scam loan? Won't he hate me to the bone if he finds out I screwed him over?""What are you worried about?" Mrs. Bay shot back in annoyance. "Are you that scared of Jacob Wilson turning against you? Hell, my own sister hates me to the bone—but what did you think I told her? That I'm never lending her the money no matter how much she hates me!"What do you think would have happened if I were worried about her feelings and loaned her the money she asked for? She wouldn't have to use a single cent to get herself a new house! She would say
"Don Albert… is giving up on Jacob Wilson?!"Mr. Bay exclaimed in shock. "B-But he was so respectful toward Jacob just the other day when we had dinner at the Heaven Springs… He gave us the best private room and even offered his best wine, filling our glasses personally…"Mrs. Bay waved him off. "You've been stuck with the retirees of the Calligraphy and Painting Association for so long that you've lost your nose for danger! Just think about it—married couples who were just sharing a bed one night could pull a knife on their partner the very next day. And these are men with priorities we're talking about."Also, you should take into account that Zachary Evans is Don Albert's right-hand man, and Jacob somehow dragged him into a fraud scheme. So, do you think Don Albert would be happy with that?"And according to Zachary's public statement, all the money they got went straight into Jacob's pocket—and what does that mean? It means Zachary is an accessory to a crime—at worst, an accomp
"That would be me," Don Albert replied and asked in return, "And who are you? What's your business with me?"Mr. Bay quickly said, "Good evening, Don Albert. I'm Mr. Bay from the Calligraphy and Painting Association—we've met before.""Oh, Mr. Bay…" Don Albert did indeed recall who he was. "So, why have you called me?""I hope you don't mind—I had to ask a few friends to get your number…"Don Albert smiled as he already had a hunch that Mr. Bay was calling about Jacob. "I see. Just be straight with me now.""Okay, so here's the thing…" Mr. Bay promptly said, "Jacob and Zachary Evans really stirred some waves with what they did, and it's talked about a lot amongst the circles of antique enthusiasts in Aurous Hill… But I wonder if you've heard?"Don Albert sighed. "Yes, I've heard. Go on."Mr. Bay obliged. "Well, to be honest, it wasn't just a big deal amongst the circles of antique enthusiasts in Aurous Hill. Even the Calligraphy and Painting Association was affected. As you know
Having heard all of that, Julien promptly picked up his cup and chugged his drink, and he felt distinctly different as soon as the liquor touched his lips.While one would usually feel warm after drinking alcohol, like a thrilling burning sensation, this medicinal liquor was nourishing instead, almost as if every single one of Julien's sweat pores were revitalized.After all, it was the enhanced version of the Healing Pill, whose effect was more than double the prototype. That was why just a fifth was enough for Julien to feel two years younger.With the miraculous pill, he felt less tired, and sitting on the stool didn't hurt his rump or his hip.Even his sight was much sharper, his presbyopia clearing considerably.In short, his entire body had never felt this good!Even as he glanced at Raymond across the table, he could see that the other man's cheeks were flushed, and many of his wrinkles had smoothed over!It went without saying that Julien was envious as Raymond drank twi
Julien had made up his mind—Charlie had already dragged him into this anyway, and he certainly wouldn't stay as a slave who bemoaned his fate every day.He had boarded Charlie's ship, and the ship had sailed—he just had to come up with a plan so that he could stay on it without any problem.After all, the chances for him to become the next Rothschild head or how long he would get to live were banked entirely on Charlie's decision.If Charlie didn't want him as head, he just had to ask Helena to be his broker and sell some pills to old Harrison, and Julien would be forced to stay as the heir apparent to their empire until he expired.And since the decision was made, he must first show some sincerity by investing into Aurous Hill—it was the ideal way to bring in both capital and human resources.With Julien having indicated his position, Charlie smiled. "Aurous Hill is a land of wealth and prosperity. As a local, I keenly await your investment, Mr. Rothschild."Julien was worried f
