When Kenneth returned to the Wilson family home, Wendy hurried forward and greeted him with joy, “Kenneth, you’re finally home. Did the Weaver family fix you?”Kenneth huffed in annoyance, “They couldn’t fix me at all, in the end, they asked Charlie to cure me.”“Charlie? Charlie Wade?” Wendy asked in surprise, “So, did he heal you?”Kenneth sighed, “Yes, but just the necrosis, it’s still unusable…”Wendy said indignantly, “Then you shouldn’t let the Weaver family go so easily, especially Jeffrey! It was he who fooled you into taking their lousy medicine and caused you so much distress and misery. You have to let them heal you no matter what!”Kenneth’s expression was distant and cold. “I let the Weaver family go because of Charlie, but when I return to Eastcliff, I will pursue the Weaver family on this matter!”Wendy was stunned. “Ken… Kenneth, are you going back to Eastcliff?”Kenneth glanced at Wendy emotionlessly and said, “Of course I’m going back. Aurous Hill has given me
Kenneth turned up his nose at Lady Wilson and the rest of the family, so he couldn’t care less about their devastating status. Right now, all he could think of was getting back to Eastcliff as soon as possible, then visiting the finest doctor in the city to treat his erectile disorder.Lady Wilson marched forward to plead with him again, but Kenneth shoved her away irritably and said, “That’s enough, I need to pack my things now. End of discussion.”Lady Wilson’s face turned pale. “No, Kenneth, you can’t just leave us like this. You know how we are right now. Without your help, we’ll go bankrupt…”Then, she winked at Wendy.Wendy stuck herself on Kenneth’s arm and pleaded, “Kenneth, Grandma is right. Besides, didn’t you say that you want to invest eighty million dollars in our company? You only gave us ten million so far, it’s not enough to solve our crisis!”Then, she added, “Why don’t you give us the remaining seventy million to keep the company afloat? Perhaps we’ll already b
Lady Wilson was down in the mouth.What should she do? What else could she do?The Wilson family did not have other sources of income, they were deep in debts, and their capital chains had long been broken. The only way they could get out of this mess was to find investors quickly, otherwise, they would fall apart soon.But Kenneth, who was most likely to help them, had also left. Who else could they find now?Lady Wilson sighed and said, “Right now, we can only take one step at a time.”Suddenly, her eyes shone brightly as if something struck her mind. She looked at Wendy and said, “Wendy, Kenneth gave you to Jeffrey Weaver, didn’t he? Although the Weaver family isn’t as rich as Kenneth, at least their net worth is around one to two billion! Why don’t you beg him to invest several million to our company to help us get through the mess?”Christopher clapped his hands in excitement. “Oh yeah! How could we forget about Jeffrey! Wendy, you were in a brief relationship with him, were
Lady Wilson fell into complete despair.She didn’t want the legacy that she worked hard for her whole life to be gone just like that.Besides, this villa was the only property she had in Aurous Hill.If they went bankrupt, the villa would definitely be seized. Next, she, her son, and his family would be kicked off to the streets.Then, she suddenly remembered that Christopher must have some money in his hands. She quickly asked, “Chris, how much money do you have right now?”Christopher’s heart skipped a beat in panic. He blurted, “Mom, I don’t have much, just a few million…”“A few million? Why so little?” Lady Wilson frowned in dismay. “Kenneth gave Wendy five million. Over the years, you’ve stayed here without any additional expenses and you even receive salary from Wilson Group! Where did all your money go?”Christopher’s face twisted into a sad grimace. “Mom, I don’t have any savings! Yes, my living expenses have been quite low because I stay with you, but I still have to s
“No, I’m not!” Christopher yelled frustratedly, “I’m just trying to get my mom off my back! Hurry and spend our money quickly so she won’t bug us about it. It’s best if we can find a good house today and buy it!”Hannah asked in shock, “What? Now?”“Yes!” Christopher said, “My mom thought that I have ten million, didn’t she? So, let’s use ten million to buy a house. Then, we can show her the house purchase contract and tell her that we’ve used the money to buy a house. What else can she say then?”Hannah grinned in delight and said, “Wow, Chris, you’re such a genius! Alright! Let’s go house shopping!”When the Wilson family was in the muddy situation again, the Weaver family became the hottest topic in town.What happened in the Weaver family was a harsh reminder to everyone that if you were not the best, you would likely be crushed by the people at the top of the pyramid!Weaver Pharmaceuticals was one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the southern region, and because of th
When the news about the Weaver family hit the streets, Charlie, who had kicked Jordan and Jeffrey into living hell and helped Liam to rise up, was in the kitchen cooking lunch for his wife and in-laws.At the dining table, Jacob and Elaine were actively talking about the Weaver family. They loved to talk about such gossip, especially Elaine. She would be thrilled for the next three days if she knew about the misfortune that happened in another family.When Elaine mocked Jordan and Jeffrey for their misfortune, Claire chided, “Mom, don’t mock others like that, it’s not nice.”Elaine snorted in disdain. “Huh, I can ignore other people, but I won’t miss a chance of mocking the Weaver family!”Then, she said in a sheepish tone, “Oh yes, did you know that Wendy was seemingly with Jeffrey a few days ago?”“Huh?” Claire gaped in bewilderment. “No way. Jeffrey is thirty-something, isn’t he? He is at least a decade older than Wendy! I don’t think Wendy wants to be with him.”Elaine clicke
Charlie nodded and said, “Yes, Mr. White informed me that the work will be completed next month and we can move in then.”Claire said, “Would it be good to move in right after the renovation is completed? Shouldn’t we wait for a while for the smell of the paint and whatever to disappear first?”Elaine interjected, “Ah, it’s okay. I went to see the progress with your dad the other day. They used imported non-polluting materials for the renovation containing zero formaldehyde. There was really no smell at all in the house. In fact, they installed an air purifying system in the house that replaces fresh air twenty-four hours a day, it is very advanced and healthy!”Claire nodded without a word. She was rather indifferent and aloof about the whole idea of moving to the Thompson First villa, but Charlie was right. They would not live on the same floor as her parents after moving into the new house. In this case, they would have more privacy and personal space, unlike now, where there was
Since people were waiting for her, Elaine did not even bother to finish her meal. She quickly grabbed her bag before she took a cab to an older villa complex in Aurous Hill, the West Garden Villa.An old friend of hers lived in the vicinity of this villa complex.The West Garden Villa had been relatively prosperous and luxurious in Aurous Hill twenty years ago. However, since it was already an old villa complex, it was not as luxurious and elegant as it used to be.In the past, Elaine felt that the West Garden Villa was already very good and luxurious. Moreover, she felt that she would never be able to move into a villa like this in her lifetime.Nevertheless, things were different now. When she thought of how she was going to move into the best villa at Thompson First very soon, Elaine felt a little dismissive of the West Garden Villa.Her old friend who lived at this villa complex was called Summer Gibson, and Elaine had met her many years ago.Summer came from a pretty good fa
