Charlie was not angry after she mocked him. Instead, he simply said patiently, “Your face is indeed flushed today, and you seem to be overjoyed. However, your eyebrows are too hostile, which proves that you do not have a good nature. Although your eyes are big, it is slightly prominent, so it can be seen that you’re a narrow-minded person with malice. Your lips are thin, and you have a sharp mouth, so this is the typical thin lips and sharp mouth which demonstrates that you’re usually sarcastic and like to cause trouble, which are all traits that can easily get you into trouble.”Amily sneered and said, “Hey, why are you making personal attacks when I asked you to read my Feng Shui? What’s wrong with my big eyes and thin lips? I cause trouble easily just because of this? Why don’t you say that I’m beautiful, tall, and have a good figure, then?!”Charlie smiled and said, “I was just about to say that your raised eyes, drooping mouth shape, and mole are all standard charming looks. It’
Charlie could see that Madien had bad intentions, so he said indifferently, “I’m sorry, but my wife doesn’t need anyone’s investment but mine.”Madien frowned and looked at Charlie. He then asked Amily, “Who is this gentleman?”Amily quickly explained with a smile, “Boss, this is Claire’s husband. He is a very powerful Feng Shui master. He read my Feng Shui for me just now and said that my career will suffer a crushing blow. It just so happens that you’re my boss, so please help me confirm whether my career is going to soar upward or fall downward today.”Charlie smiled and said seriously, “As I mentioned earlier, you do have great joy today. Although you have a bad face, you are born with natural charms. As long as there is a man who is capable enough to be attracted by your charms, his ability could help to suppress the defects in your facial features.”Madien laughed and said, “Of course, it’s soaring upward!”After that, he looked at Charlie and said with a smile, “Sir, Amily
“Miss Fox?!” Madien exclaimed, “Why is Miss Fox here?”After saying that, he hurriedly turned his head to look at the entrance.As soon as he looked over, he saw the young and beautiful Kathleen walking in, accompanied by Jarvis!Madien trembled with excitement for a moment. When the others saw Kathleen, they were also shocked and speechless, and they were extremely surprised and happy deep down in their hearts.No one expected that the famous Kathleen would appear here. Although this was the temple of top designers, the profession of a designer itself was tantamount to specialization in servicing the rich.Compared to a big shot like Kathleen, they were equivalent to a group of Michelin chefs, and each of them was looking forward to the chance to personally cook a good meal for a top client like Kathleen on a regular basis.However, with their ranks, they were not qualified to serve Kathleen themselves. Unexpectedly, a rich tycoon such as Kathleen would also come to suppor
When Amily heard Claire’s words, she immediately crossed her arms in front of her chest and laughed mockingly, “Claire, do you know who Miss Fox is? She is the head of the Fox family that’s worth a trillion dollars! A trillion dollars! If she asks, Feng Shui masters from all over the world will flock to her and fight for a chance to see her. Yet you’re saying that she asked your husband to read Feng Shui for her? You’re too much of a braggart, right? If your husband can read Feng Shui for Miss Fox, even I can design Miss Fox’s mansion for her, okay!”Claire retorted with an angry expression, “You can ask Miss Fox if you don’t believe me.”Amily’s expression suddenly turned ugly as she stared at Claire, clenched her teeth, and said “Claire, oh Claire, I thought you were just a simple person by nature, but I didn’t expect that you’d be so malicious! It’s not too much to say that you’re someone who looks gentle and kind but has evil intentions!”Claire frowned and asked, “What do you m
Moreover, Claire was not only uninterested, but she also approved greatly of her husband, who was engaged in Feng Shui, which made Madien feel a little depressed.He felt that if he wanted to lure Claire into joining his company, the first thing he had to do was to make Claire realize that her husband was an unpromising liar. So, he glanced at Amily, who was adding fuel to the flame, and said with a smile, “Amily, don’t say that. I can see that Miss Wilson is sincere, and she certainly would not lie to you deliberately.”With that said, he looked at Charlie and then suddenly smiled as he said, “Perhaps Miss Wilson is also a victim and she was deceived without knowing it.”Amily could tell that her boss did not want to give up on Claire, so she hurriedly smiled and chimed in, “You’re right, Chairman! I also think that Claire must have been deceived!”Madien looked at Claire and looked very gentlemanly as he smiled, “Miss Wilson, the number one shareholder of our company is Wall St
“He said that I’m his client?”Kathleen questioned curiously, “Who are you talking about?”Madien immediately pointed at Charlie, who was not far away, and he said with a smile, “That gentleman, he said that he is a Feng Shui master, and he also mentioned that you are one of his clients. Do you know him, Miss Fox?”Kathleen recognized Charlie immediately as soon as she saw his back.She was very happy at first but then could not help but frown as she thought to herself, ‘Madien’s tone doesn’t seem quite right. What he said earlier seems quite normal, but why did he ask if I knew Mr. Wade at the end? Could it be that he suspects that Mr. Wade is lying?’As Kathleen thought of this, she immediately guessed what was happening and thought to herself, ‘It seems that this guy probably doesn’t believe what Mr. Wade said, so he probably took advantage of this opportunity to come and greet me, then deliberately mentioned Mr. Wade because he wants me to personally expose Mr. Wade.’Kathlee
Kathleen smiled without saying a word and then nodded slightly before she followed Madien in the direction of Charlie and Claire.When Amily saw Kathleen coming over, she was so excited that she did not even know where to put her hands.Before seeing Kathleen, the chairman was the most prestigious and reputable person she had ever seen in her life. He owned ten percent of the company’s shares, which were worth more than one billion US dollars.But what was Kathleen’s status? She was in charge of the financial empire and assets worth more than a trillion US dollars. Madien was just a poor household before her, and the gap between them could be described as a whole world of difference.When Amily, who was a snob, saw such a dignified and powerful person, she was naturally extremely excited. She also instantly thought of a million ways she could try to build a relationship with Kathleen so that she could reach the pinnacle of her life.At this time, Claire also saw Kathleen walking o
Once Kathleen had spoken, both Madien and Amily were both stunned as if they had been struck by lightning, and they stood dumbfounded in place. The two of them were still waiting to see Kathleen expose Charlie’s lie directly, but to their surprise, Kathleen bowed to him respectfully and even addressed him as ‘Master Wade’!Madien instantly broke out in cold sweat out of fright, and his whole back was instantly wet. He could not help but look at Amily blankly. He also had a questioning look in his eyes in addition to shock. This was because he really could not figure out what the hell was going on.Could it be that Claire’s young husband was indeed a Feng Shui master?!Amily was also trembling in fright!In her eyes, Kathleen was a figure who was as unattainable as God, but unexpectedly, Claire’s husband could make Kathleen bow and speak to him so respectfully!Then... Hadn’t she just been asking for trouble earlier, then?!Just as the two of them were terrified and were at a
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
Julien shook his head and gingerly asked, "Jordan Fox likes his granddaughter?"Charlie smiled, shaking his head. "And your father doesn't like you as his eldest? Admiration is no guarantee of inheritance. And if we're talking about love, is it not a gesture of love that he provided you with endless cash and a life of privilege that only the world's top one percent can enjoy?"Julien also noticed the flaw in his logic. "Then, do you perchance know why, Mr. Wade?"Charlie nodded. "Jordan granted his position to Kathleen because that was the condition I proposed to him in return for prolonging his life. No succession, no pills—no matter how much he was willing to pay me for it."Then, Charlie looked Julien straight in the eye as he continued solemnly, "If the day comes and I find you more reliable, I will choose you as the sole broker for your father's pills. Just think about it—if the day comes that you're the only person your father can get his pills from, would he say no if you as
Charlie chuckled. "You might think that I'm screwing you over, but in reality, I'm indirectly solidifying your place as heir apparent. From what I've learned, your family has not confirmed who it would be."Julien chuckled awkwardly. "You're right, but I am now. With the pills you've provided, however, my father might live longer than me…"Charlie nodded. "Since we have the fortune of meeting over drinks, I shall cut to the chase—to me, it doesn't matter who between you or your father lives longer. My priority is with whom I could hope for a better partnership."And right now, your father has shown more sincerity than you have, which was why I asked Helena to provide him with my pills."Pausing, Charlie then asked, "Are you aware of your father's recent activities? In Northern Europe?""A little," Julien replied. "A data center or something along those lines."Charlie nodded again. "See, I've asked Helena to make him a new offer—I will provide him with one pill should he build an
Charlie had actually invited Julien over to bring him aboard his metaphorical ship.While not particularly down-to-earth, Julien was still the second most important figure in the Rothschild family, and having him on board wouldn't hurt.Moreover, just having drinks with Charlie and Raymond here basically told everyone they were friends. If Harrison knew that Julien was meeting the son of Curtis Wade as well as 'Biden Cole', who had taken the Four-Sided Treasure Tower from the Rothstchilds, he just might have Julien shot.While Julien may not become the head of the Rothschild family anytime soon, he would prove very useful.With Helena basically controlling Harrison and Charlie himself controlling Julien, traveling Stateside would be no different from going home."It seems I must reevaluate my opinion of you now with that attitude."Charlie smiled at Julien and raised his cup, "Come, let's have a toast—to friendship."Julien nodded, picked up his cup, exclaiming cheerfully, "To f
Pausing, Julien then said, "I mostly drink wine and the occasional whiskey.""How much are those, usually?" Raymond asked.Julien thought about it. "If it's table wine, 10,000 to 50,000 USD. For bigger occasions, it'd be something over a hundred thousand."Raymond nodded and pointed at the bottle of Oskian vodka he had bought. "Guess how much that is?"Julein shook his head. "I don't usually drink Oskian alcohol, so I'm not too sure…""Come on," Charlie chuckled. "We're not asking if you know—we're just asking you to take a guess.""Then…" Julien quickly said. "I'm guessing, three thousand?""Three thousand?" Raymond chuckled and shook his head. "That's way too flattering. It's around 7 USD.""Seven bucks?!" Julien exclaimed, and he blurted, "You usually drink something that cheap, Mr. Cole?""Well, not stateside," Raymond smiled. "But I liked it after I ordered one from a diner yesterday. It's cheap, and it has quality."Julien gulped as he stared at his own cup filled to th
Julien flinched and promptly threw his hands up. "No, no, no… please don't say that, Mr. Wade! That's not what I mean—as a son, it's only right that I hope my father lives long and prospers. Why wouldn't I want him to?"Charlie pointed out, "Then why'd you say that I've screwed you over repeatedly?""Oh. I, uh…" Julien wasn't sure how to respond to that, and he groaned unhappily, "I was not being mindful with words. I take that back…" Charlie nodded. "Then, I'll give you another chance.""Huh?" Julien was left confused, and he quickly asked, "Another chance… for what?"Charlie clapped him on the shoulder again, smiling, "We're old friends, aren't we? Why would I screw you over? Anyway, your turn."Julien was left utterly aggrieved as he read through Charlie's intention—that was precisely the definition of screwing him over!If his father knew he had come to Aurous Hill to hang out with these two, especially Biden Cole, he would definitely be removed as heir! And yet, Charlie
Having seen a sliver of the common folk's plight, Julien turned back to the journey at hand.Soon, his MPV arrived at Aurous Hill's Antique Street.As it was closing hours, the place appeared bleak, almost as though it had been completely abandoned. It was only during opening hours and the few hours before closing that the place became most alive anyway.Most of the time, the vendors and employees outnumbered the guests, and during closing hours, it would get very quiet. One wouldn't even find strays here as there weren't scraps around.Still, Julien had no idea what the hell the place was, even as he arrived outside Treasure Measure following the location Charlie had sent.Once he was sure he was at the right place, he called Charlie, immediately sounding respectful and flattering, "I'm here, Mr. Wade. If you don't mind opening the door…""Alright, just hang on," Charlie said and put down the phone while turning to Raymond, who was putting the food on a folding table, "Our frien
The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What
At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav
