When Charlie heard Liam’s words, he suddenly felt that Liam was in a similar situation as he was.Once upon a time, he was also an orphan and piece of trash who was humiliated and bullied by others.His life only turned around when Stephen Thompson found him and handed Emgrand Group and a black card with tens of billions of dollars over to him.Later, Charlie finally had the opportunity to achieve greatness when he found the Apocalyptic Book by accident.Once upon a time, he had also been cast aside by everyone. He had also been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself to everyone, as well as to slap all those who had despised him in the past!Therefore, he could understand Liam’s feelings very well.Liam was a child who had been called a b*stard ever since he was a young boy. His mother died and even though he was brought into his own biological father’s home, he was subjected to even greater torture and humiliation. After more than twenty years, the degree of tolerance in hi
Kenneth glared at the head of the Weaver family before he shouted, “Jordan Weaver! Haven’t you found a way to cure me yet?”Jordan trembled a little as he replied, “Don’t worry, Chairman Wilson. I have already sent someone to find a famous doctor to come over to cure you. I have also mobilized all the Weaver family’s contacts in the pharmaceutical industry and we are all looking for even stronger antibiotics that would help to cure you.”Even though he was saying that, Jordan knew that there was no hope at all.He had originally hoped that Jeffrey would be able to invite Anthony to come over to cure Kenneth but Anthony did not give him any face at all. After Jeffrey was driven out of Serene World Clinic by Anthony, he had also gone to look for a few other famous genius doctors in Aurous Hill. However, as soon as any one of them heard that the patient was Kenneth, no one wanted to come.In fact, word about the incident involving Anthony had already spread all over Aurous Hill. Moreo
As soon as he said this, everyone was very excited.Jordan’s eyes widened as he asked in a trembling voice, “What did you just say? Who did Liam bring back with him?”A person yelled at the door, “Liam brought Dr. Simmons and a young man back with him! They have already entered the yard!”As soon as the voice fell, Jordan immediately had an ecstatic look on his face!Dr. Simmons was here?Had Liam finally invited Dr. Simmons here?Oh my god! It seemed as though there was hope for the Weaver family!Kenneth was even more excited at this time.He did not care about the needle infused at the back of his hand. His eyes were filled with excitement at this time!Ever since his penis began to rot, Kenneth knew that Dr. Simmons was the only one who could cure him.However, he also knew that Anthony was very dissatisfied with him and it would be impossible for him to step up and save him.Moreover, he really could not understand why Anthony would change his mind and agree to treat hi
Unexpectedly, this guy was actually together with that b*stard, Liam!Kenneth was also going to greet Anthony excitedly. However, the expression on his face changed as soon as he saw Charlie.At the same time, he could not help but feel very upset.The humiliation that he had suffered in front of Charlie was no less than what Jeffrey had suffered!Originally, he regarded Charlie as his mortal enemy. However, now that Charlie was here with Anthony, he did not dare to say anything or cause a scene at all. This was because he knew that Anthony really looked up to and respected Charlie. If he offended Charlie again, Kenneth was afraid that Anthony would refuse to cure him.As he thought about this, Kenneth stepped forward immediately before he bowed and said, “Uncle Simmons, I know that I’ve angered you previously. I know that it is all my fault. I know that I was wrong. Please heal me!”At this time, Anthony replied nonchalantly, “I’ve already told you that both our families would h
Jeffrey really did not expect to get slapped by both his father and Kenneth at the same time because he was questioning Charlie’s identity.In fact, he could actually tolerate it if Kenneth hit him because he knew that he was the one who had caused Kenneth to end up this way—the only reason Kenneth had ended up like this was due to the medicine that he had given him. Therefore, it was only normal for Kenneth to hate him.However, Jeffrey really could not believe that his father, who would barely hit him throughout all these years, had suddenly slapped him twice in a row!He covered his face as he looked at Jordan and said, “Dad! Why did you hit me again? Did I make a mistake?”“A*shole! Shut up right now!”Jordan glared at him fiercely before he cursed in his heart. Why couldn’t his prodigal son have the ability and sense to know the right things that he should be doing at a time like this?Since Anthony was also doing Charlie’s bidding, then Charlie would be the only savior of t
They were all just fooling around. Thus, Jordan felt that the women should just get rid of the baby once they discovered their pregnancies. Why the h*ll would they give birth to their child?This was the fundamental reason why Jordan had always hated Liam.If it weren’t because his father found out that he had another grandson out there, Jordan would never have taken in a b*stard child who was given to him by a village woman!Even if Liam made a significant contribution to the Weaver family, he would never be able to hand over the Weaver family’s business over to him! Who was he to deserve this?However, Jordan did not reveal the slander and discomfort in his heart. He simply wanted to send the plague god, Kenneth, away!Therefore, Jordan said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, please help Chairman Wilson!”Kenneth also looked at Charlie with a bitter expression on his face. After all, wasn’t the reason why he called Charlie his grandfather and why he apologized to him simply because he wa
“Using human urine?!” Kenneth immediately said with an awkward expression, “Is… isn’t this a little disgusting? Do you really need to use urine?”Charlie snorted. “Do you think I’m bluffing?”He pointed to Jordan and asked, “You! You’ve been in the pharmaceutical business for many years now. Let me ask you, don’t they use the urine of little boys as a primer in ancient medicine?”“Yes, that’s right!” Jordan nodded. “Many ancient methods require little boys’ urine as a medicine primer. In fact, there’s even a tradition of eating urine-soaked eggs in the south. It’s proven to have a certain health effect.”Then, he turned to Kenneth and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wilson. Little boys’ urine is a very pristine ingredient in Chinese medicine, it’s not as dirty as you imagine it to be.”Kenneth was a little relieved when he heard it was the little boys’ urine.He had seen the appearance of the little boys’ urine in the Chinese classic movies. Indeed, it wasn’t as disgusting as it sounded.
The guys in the crowd looked at each other silently, then they simultaneously looked at Jordan, the head of the Weaver family.Everyone knew that Jordan had been a womanizer when he was young. Back in the days, he had even eaten a poisonous remedy made out of billies just for the sole purpose of sleeping around with women that put his life on the verge of death when he was only sixty years old. So, he was the man who slept with the most women among them all.Jordan started to grin triumphantly when he noticed everyone’s gaze falling upon him. He stood upright and said, “Master Wade, for your information, I was quite charming when I was young, so I did have plenty of admirers back in the days. I guess I slept with about three to five hundred women!”Charlie nodded reluctantly and said to Kenneth as he pointed at Jordan, “Okay, he’s your man.”Kenneth grimaced slightly.Did Charlie really ask him to drink the old coot’s urine? That was too f*cking disgusting!However, Charlie did
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
