Ever since the Acker family had bumped into Mr. Chardon in Oskia and Mr. Chardon had ended up dead, they had never returned to New York. However, Charlie and Lulu's family realized that there must be something fishy about Zekeiah due to a previous phone call between Lulu and him. Still, since Zekeiah was in New York, which was far away from them, everyone simply minded their own business and left Zekeiah alone. At this moment, Zekeiah was still known as Keith's son-in-law. Moreover, he portrayed himself as the representative of the Acker family in the United States since he was the only member currently in the country for the time being. He enjoyed fame and popularity because of this. Nonetheless, Zekeiah was well aware that the Acker family was currently in the process of shifting their business from the United States to Oskia. Even if they did not have a complete fallout, in three years, they would likely pull the rug out from under him. What frustrated him and Fleur the
"Well..." Zekeiah shook his head and answered honestly, "To be honest with you, Mr. Griffin, I haven't paid much attention to this, and I don't know the specific reasons." Tarlon ordered, "Go and find out! Mobilize your connections and find out as many clues as you can." "Okay!" Zekeiah respectfully replied, "Please rest assured, Mr. Griffin. I'll investigate it thoroughly." Tarlon said coldly, "Mr. Zorro has already flown to New York and will arrive in two hours. Go to the airport to meet him and wait for further instructions." Zekeiah couldn't help but feel nervous upon hearing that Mr. Zorro was coming. He mumbled under his breath, "Three of the Four Great Earls were killed, and Mr. Zorro is the only one left. There's a chance someone might want to kill him too. If he comes to New York, could it end up affecting me?" He was thinking about whether he would be killed as collateral damage. Zekeiah couldn't shake the feeling that the Four Great Earls seemed to be rather unlu
Not only Zekeiah, but Tarlon also did not know about the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. Vera, who had lived for nearly four hundred years, had only heard her father mention it once. Over the past three centuries, she had only read non-authoritative records of the treasure tower in some unofficial history. The records back then were all written records, and the people who wrote these records all went by hearsay. Those who wrote and read the books didn't know if the treasure tower truly existed. Even if it was real, they didn't know what it looked like, let alone Tarlon. However, Tarlon was the first to conclude that the tower was definitely extraordinary. Therefore, he didn't take the information lightly. He printed the image out as soon as possible and brought it to Fleur. He presented the printed color photo to Fleur and said respectfully, "Lord, I got this from Zekeiah. The tower in the photo is the antique that the Rothschild family was looking for in New York." Fleur jolted
Decorative lights and illuminants lit up the extravagant Wilson family mansion.Tonight was the 70th birthday banquet of Lady Wilson, the head of the Wilson family.Her grandchildren and their spouses gathered around her to hand her their luxurious gifts.“Grandma, I heard that you love the Chinese tea. I looked high and low for this century-old Pu’er tea worth half a million dollars to present it to you.”“Grandma, you are a devoted Buddhist. This Buddha statue is carved from the authentic Hetian jade, it is worth seven hundred thousand dollars…”Looking at the nicely wrapped gifts in front of her, Lady Wilson laughed heartily. The entire ambiance was harmonious and happy.Suddenly, Charlie Wade, Lady Wilson’s eldest grandson-in-law, spoke, “Grandma, could you lend me a million dollars, please? Mrs. Lewis from the welfare home is diagnosed with uremia and I need the money for her treatment…”The entire Wilson family gaped in extreme shock. Everyone stared at Charlie with bewi
Ten billion dollars?!Charlie was shocked. His eyes wide open, his mouth wide agape.He knew that his grandfather was very wealthy, but back then, he was too young to understand the concept of money. He only knew that the Wade family was one of the wealthiest families in Eastcliff and even the country, but he wasn’t sure what his net worth was.Right now, he finally knew.If ten billion dollars were just pocket money, it meant that the entire Wade family had a net worth of more than one trillion dollars!Frankly speaking, at this moment, he was slightly touched and swayed. However, when he thought about his deceased parents and how his grandfather was part of the reasons why they had died, he knew he could never easily forgive him.Sensing his frustration, Stephen quickly said, “Young Master, you are one of the Wade family members, so the money is yours. Besides, technically speaking, it belongs to your father.”“The Master said that if you’re willing to go home, he will let you
The next morning, after preparing breakfast, Charlie rode his scooter to Emgrand Group’s office.He parked his scooter on the side of Emgrand’s parking lot. As soon as he locked his scooter, a black Bentley slowly parked in a spot across from him.He looked up inadvertently and saw a young couple getting out of the car.The man was wearing a branded suit, looking very handsome and smart. Meanwhile, the lady was dressed up in a flamboyant style. Although somewhat gaudy, she was considered a beauty.As it turned out, the lady was Wendy Wilson, Claire’s cousin, and the man was her fiancé, Gerald White.Charlie didn’t know why they were here, but he knew that the best way to avoid trouble was to stay away from them.However, the more eager he wanted to hide from them, the higher chances they would see him.Wendy caught sight of him from the corner of her eyes. She yelped loudly, “Hey, Charlie!”Wendy called out his name in a friendly manner, but Charlie felt goosebumps all over his
This was also the first time Charlie had ever met Doris.He had to admit that Doris was a very stunning and alluring young lady!She was about twenty-seven or eight years of age with a slender yet plump body figure, captivating appearance, and a very mature and honorable manner.Sitting down in front of Doris’s desk, Charlie started, “I will not come into the office often, so I would like you to continue looking over the company on my behalf. In addition, please do not disclose my identity to the public.”Doris was aware that Mr. Wade, who was sitting in front of her now, came from the extraordinary Wade family. For a prominent family like theirs, Emgrand Group was nothing but a mediocre business, so it was normal for him not to manage it himself. Hence, she quickly said, “Sure. Mr. Wade, just tell me if you need anything, I’ll be at your service.”At this moment, a secretary knocked on the door and said, “Miss Young, a man called Gerald White and his fiancé are here to see you.”
The two announcements released by Emgrand Group completely shook the entire Aurous Hill like a high magnitude earthquake.When the Wilson family learned about the ownership change in Emgrand Group, they figured out why the collaboration with the White family had been terminated. It seemed that Emgrand’s new owner didn’t think much of the White family.Back to the point, who was Mr. Wade? He simply bought Emgrand Group that was worth hundreds of billions of dollars without batting an eye—he was a little too powerful, wasn’t he? Even the richest man in Aurous Hill wouldn’t be so generous!All of a sudden, a lot of wealthy families were about to eagerly make a move. They wished to establish a connection with the mysterious Mr. Wade while on the other hand wished to marry their daughter to him.Moreover, the announcement about Emgrand Group’s investment of two billion dollars for the hotel construction project also shook the construction and interior decorating industries in Aurous H
