It was possible that Hannah would make a run for it if she really had that much money in hand. After all, she and Elaine were two peas in a pod. They were greedy and loved money more than anything.‘Mother is right,’ Christopher thought. ‘Now that me, our children, and even my mother have become burdens, it’s possible that she has chosen to run away with the money!’A layer of resentment and gloom surfaced on Christopher’s face. He said in a deep voice, “Let me call Elaine and ask.”He grabbed his phone and called Elaine.His call was answered almost immediately.“Hey, Elaine, it’s your brother-in-law, Christopher…”Elaine gritted her teeth in disdain when his voice came from the other end of the line!This f*cking old dog! He must have known about Hannah’s plot to scam her!Maybe he was the real mastermind behind all this!When she thought about the terrible losses she had suffered today, she wanted to curse him at the top of her lungs!However, when her thought shifted to t
Christopher shouted angrily into the phone, “Elaine, you’re slinging mud—that’s a pack of f*cking lies!”Elaine blurted anxiously, “Oh, don’t you believe me? Fine! If you can find Hannah, I’ll admit defeat!”“What do you mean?”“Go and figure it out yourself! I’m very tired now, I don’t want to talk to you anymore!”Immediately, Elaine ended the call.Christopher almost smashed the phone with anger when he heard the busy tone on the phone.Harold caught his arms hurriedly and said, “Dad, calm down! The priority right now is to find Mom!”Unfortunately, Harold didn’t know that his mother was on the way to the gullies in Erith and it was utterly impossible for the Wilson family to find her with their resources.Wendy leaned against her father and persuaded, “Yeah, Dad! Don’t be so mad! What did the b*tch say?”Christopher huffed indignantly, “Elaine said that your mom has an affair with some dude and that she eloped with him!”“What?!” Harold, Wendy, and Lady Wilson looked shoc
There was a dash of uncertainty and doubt on Christopher’s face. He was almost convinced that his wife had run away with the money!There was no other better explanation than this!How could four adults disappear out of thin air just like that?Even if they did, there must be some clues or traces left behind, right?The more he thought about it, the more certain he was that Hannah might have betrayed him! Indeed, she was very rich now with the winning and their fifteen million cash.He huffed and bit his lips in anguish, then said, “No, I can’t just wait here. I want to go to Elaine and ask her in person!”The annoyed Lady Wilson smacked Christopher with her cane and cursed, “You’d better get some answers from her and find Hannah! Even if you can’t find her, get the fifteen million back for me! You don’t have to come back if you can’t get the money, I’ll just assume that I only have one son!”Christopher nodded dejectedly. “Okay, alright, I’ll go now!”Suddenly, Lady Wilson sai
Never did Lady Wilson expect that the cowardly Jacob would be so gutsy and confident in front of her!She couldn’t help feeling angry and frustrated!For decades, she had been suppressing Jacob using her majesty and authority, and Jacob had never been able to resist or even refute her bossiness.He didn’t even dare to object when she kicked him out of the Wilson family house.But now, he dared to say such things to her!He had become bold and brazen, didn’t he?!He didn’t want such a mother?! How the hell dare he spout such a rebellious remark!This was outrageous!Just when she blew a gasket and wanted to pick a bone with them to solidify her dignity, Christopher, on the other hand, stood humbly and said, “Charlie, we aren’t here to look for trouble today, I have something very urgent that I need to ask Elaine, so could you please ask her to come out quickly?”Charlie knew that Christopher must be here because of Hannah, but he wouldn’t know, not even in his dreams, that Hann
Even if he was still the former Christopher, he couldn’t go up against Charlie in any way.He wasn’t sure when and how Charlie had become so skillful and amazing in martial arts that he could defeat the Wilson family’s brawny bodyguards. He definitely couldn’t withstand Charlie’s beating!Dejected, Christopher contained his fury and said in a low voice, “Jacob, it’s my fault for being so rude earlier. I’m sorry, but could you please ask Elaine to see me? I have something important that I must ask her.”Jacob was utterly happy right now. He wanted to just hug his darling son-in-law and kiss him! He had been so frustrated by Christopher’s provocation when suddenly, Charlie slapped him! It was such a refreshing scene!Smiling gleefully inside, Jacob donned an emotionless face and said, “Brother, did you and Hannah want to buy a villa two days ago?”“How did you know?” asked Christopher suspiciously.“Elaine told me. She was at her friend’s house playing mahjong when you and Hannah
Christopher was trembling with anger at Jacob’s deliberate sarcasm!Indeed, he occasionally saw such news on virtual news portals. In fact, he admitted that he had even imagined such a scene before. He imagined that one day when he was super rich and bumped into a young and beautiful girl who told him that she didn’t want to work anymore, he would just send her an address and let her come to him…Of course, it was nothing but a figment of his imagination. He had never had the courage nor the ability to turn it into a reality.However, when Jacob talked about his wife like that, for some reason, a very vivid and realistic picture showed up in his mind!In the imaginative picture, there was a young man leaning against his wife’s embrace and calling her name sweetly…Christopher was extremely agitated, wondering how many times his wife had cheated on him. He stomped furiously and cursed, “Jacob, don’t you dare mock my wife like that! Your wife isn’t any better! You should be thankful
At this moment, the gleeful Jacob said, “Oh yes, dear, give me twenty grand. I want to have a get-together tomorrow.”“A get-together?” Elaine asked nervously, “Why do you need twenty grand for a get-together?! Did you invite the president?”“I joined the Aurous Calligraphy and Painting Association, I’ve told you that, remember? Now, there’s a vacancy for the executive director of the association and I want it! So, I’d like to invite the chairman and other directors to dinner to enhance our relationship.”Then, he added with a smug look, “If I’m elected as one of the executive directors, I’ll be popular in the antique social group in the city!”Elaine shouted angrily, “Are you crazy? Why do you need twenty grand for a dinner? Do you really think we own a money printer at home? No, I don’t allow you to!”Jacob hurriedly said, “Oh, dear, I just want to climb the ladder one step at a time! Once I become the director, I will have more opportunities to get in touch with the rare and pr
As Charlie was preparing dinner, Donald and his son, Sean, also left the Moore family mansion and drove to The Heaven Springs.Donald has invited some of the more powerful and prestigious people in Aurous Hill to attend the banquet dinner that he would be hosting at The Heaven Springs tonight. On one hand, he wanted to find more clues relating to his youngest son, Kian’s sudden illness, and on the other hand, he wanted to lay down a little foundation for the Webb family in Aurous Hill.Although the Webb family was the top family in the South Region, this did not mean that they had sufficient control and power over the entire South Region.The Webb family’s base camp was in Sudbury, and this meant that they had extraordinary control and power in the Sudbury area. However, since the Moore family’s base camp was in Aurous Hill, this meant that the Webb family’s influence and power in Aurous Hill were relatively worse than the Moore family.As these wealthy and powerful families in the
