Chapter 5125

Author: Lord Leaf
Elaine stood at the roadside of the exit at the airport and kept calling Jacob. However, her calls could not get through.

She cursed, “This damn Jacob! I don’t know where he has gone. He’s not answering my calls!”

Claire asked her, “Mom, are you sure you told him what time to come?”

Elaine said in exasperation, “Of course, I told him clearly. He also promised me over the phone. I don’t know why he hasn’t shown up and isn’t answering my calls. He’s really unreliable!”

Claire also hurriedly took out her cell phone and called Jacob, but as Elaine had mentioned, he still did not answer his phone.

She said with a very nervous expression, “Dad couldn’t have met with an accident, right? It’s not his bedtime yet, so why isn’t he answering our calls?”

Charlie hurriedly comforted, “Honey, don’t be so negative. Dad is in good health, so how could he have met with an accident? Perhaps it’s just because he has fallen asleep. I think we should go home first and take a look!”

“Yes!” Claire qu

    The taxi driver was also a little angry. His eyes opened wide in anger as he said, “I smoked when the car was parked. I didn’t smoke when you came into the cab. The taxi company rules stipulate that we aren’t allowed to smoke in front of the passengers. I didn’t violate the rules, did I? You will only be taking my car for ten minutes, at most. Aren’t you going to allow me to smoke at other times?” Elaine said angrily, “Get this clear, the taxi is your service place, and you have to keep your service place clean, with fresh air. Is it reasonable for you to make the whole place smell so strongly of cigarettes?”The taxi driver said angrily, “This service place is provided by the taxi company, not me. I am simply the driver. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to the taxi company to complain then.”With that said, the taxi driver muttered in dissatisfaction, “It’s just cigarettes, what’s the big fuss? Doesn’t your husband smoke?”Elaine rolled her eyes at him and replied, “He

    Elaine nodded and said casually, “That’s almost the same as my husband before he left. He smoked one and a half packets a day, and as a result, he was gone in his early thirties. After saying that, she looked at the taxi driver and asked curiously, “Mister, I think you’re forty or fifty years old, right?”The taxi driver laughed and said, “I... I’m fifty-two years old...”“Awesome.” Elaine gave him a thumbs up and said seriously, “You’re doing pretty well. If you clench your teeth and persist for a dozen years, you would have lived twice as long as my husband.”The taxi driver’s expression at this time was much uglier than crying.At this time, Elaine could not help but sigh as she said, “In fact, what’s the point of living so long? My husband left early and didn’t have to worry about anything unlike me, where I had to assume both the role of a father and mother. Sometimes, I think that it’d be better if the person who left was me. In that case, I would die earlier and be reborn

    The three of them walked into the neighborhood with their luggage when they heard a short car horn sound from behind.The three subconsciously looked back only to see a large Mercedes-Benz SUV slowly drive over. The window was rolled down, and a woman poked her head out and said in surprise, “Oh, Elaine! When did you come back from the United States?!”When Elaine heard this, she was surprised and said, “Hannah?! Is it really you?!”Hannah drove the car forward again, stopped directly beside Elaine, then leaned on the window with a smug expression as she said with a smile, “Elaine, you’re really funny. You don’t recognize your sister-in-law after going to the United States to stay for a month?!”Elaine’s brows immediately furrowed. Several voices were rising and falling in her heart at this moment. The first voice was, “Damn it! How is this bitch, Hannah, driving a Mercedes-Benz? Wasn’t she so poor that she even had to starve? Two disabled people are lying in her house, and the

    It was also at that time that Elaine truly realized that Hannah and Christopher really had the courage and intention to destroy others!Therefore, Elaine had always held a grudge against Hannah and had always been wary of her!The reason why Elaine was close to Hannah was because Hannah would flatter her and compliment her all the time, which gave Elaine a sense of superiority. Elaine also enjoyed the feeling of trampling all over Hannah when Hannah had still been flattering her. However, even though she had brought Hannah out to eat, drink, and have fun every day, she would always remember how cunning Hannah was. So, she had always guarded herself against Hannah in order to prevent getting tricked again. She had originally thought that it would be impossible for Hannah to turn things around again in this life, but she never expected this bitch to turn things around so quickly!She recalled the logo she had seen on the rear of the car and could not help but ask Charlie, “My dear

    Hannah’s inexplicable rise messed with Elaine’s emotions, and she suddenly felt extremely disappointed. Although she was living in a luxury house and drove a luxury car, she knew very well that these things were not directly related to her.In other words, when it came to money, Elaine only knew how to spend money in addition to getting cheated out of her money. If one were to count the money that she had earned on her own, it would be nothing in fifty years.Therefore, she was very anxious to figure out one thing. How had Hannah gotten the money to buy the Mercedes-Benz G500?Elaine would feel better if Wendy had earned the money because Hannah would simply be spending her daughter’s money the way she was spending her son-in-law’s money. Hannah would not be any better compared to her. What’s more, Hannah was only driving a Mercedes-Benz G500 that cost more than two million dollars. The car that she drove some time ago in Aurous Hill was a Rolls-Royce Cullinan that cost tens of mi

    Jacob was already very drunk at this time. He was wearing a boxer on his lower body, and his upper body was naked. He was collapsed on the sofa, and there was a bottle of vodka with a high alcohol content that was almost emptied. So, Charlie walked over quickly to check on Jacob’s state, but when he got closer, he was taken aback by the person in front of him. The man in front of him was indeed Jacob, but he had a scruffy beard, and his body smelled. He was in an extremely disheveled state. If he was thrown on the street, he would fit right in like a proper vagrant. He quickly said, “Dad, wake up. Dad, it’s me, Charlie.”Jacob was in a daze from his sleep. When he heard someone calling him, he cursed angrily, “I... I’m telling you... Leave me alone! Don’t bother me! I’m in a bad mood!” Elaine controlled the electric wheelchair, knocking into an unknown number of beer cans along the way as she rushed to the sofa angrily. When she saw Jacob, who was lying on the sofa like a begg

    Jacob was flustered by Elaine’s question. Furthermore, he was guilty, so he suddenly did not know how to explain himself. At this time, Charlie hurriedly asked, “Dad, are you feeling upset because you did not perform well in the cultural exchange to Korea this time?”After getting Charlie’s reminder, Jacob nodded in a panic and said, “Yes, yes, that’s right... It’s because I did not perform well...”After saying that, he sighed deeply and said angrily from the bottom of his heart, “I’ve been preparing for this cultural exchange for a long time, and I thought that I would be able to do a good job in Korea so that I could also bring glory to Aurous Hill and Oskia. Unexpectedly, after arriving in Korea, the other members of my own group stole the limelight from me. I was in Korea for more than twenty days but did not have any room for development at all. I’ve never felt so humiliated in my life...”When Elaine heard this, she was half-convinced, but she was still very angry and curse

    “Who else could it be?!” Jacob wiped his tears away and sobbed as he said, “Of course, it’s Matilda!”Charlie frowned and asked, “Aren’t the two of you confidants? When did you get together?”Jacob quickly explained, “We’re not together. I haven’t divorced your mother-in-law yet...”Charlie said helplessly, “You guys are not together, so how can you be lovelorn?”Jacob felt as if he had been humiliated, so he blushed and argued, “We have always loved each other deep down in our hearts! Do you remember the time when she and her son, Paul, came over to our house for dinner when she had just come back to Oskia?”“I remember.” Charlie said casually, “Wasn’t that just a reunion between old classmates? What’s so special about it?”Jacob said solemnly, “Of course, it was special! You don’t know this, but I confessed my love to her when we were in the kitchen that day! I not only confessed my love to her affectionately, but I even hugged her, and she hugged me back!”“Really?” Charlie 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
