Chapter 622

Author: Lord Leaf
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

    Besides that, even if the girls admired him or were interested in him, their family might not necessarily be able to accept him into their families.Donald sighed before he said, “I received news from home that your younger brother’s condition is not very optimistic now.”“What’s wrong?” Sean hurriedly asked. “Did his condition deteriorate any further?”“No, that did not happen.” Donald continued speaking, “His illness is the same as it was before. He still has to eat shit every hour. However, it seems as though your brother’s emotional and mental condition is in very bad shape. In the past, he would feel like committing suicide if he did not get to eat shit every hour. However, now, whenever he has finished eating shit and regained his consciousness, he would feel like committing suicide. He said that it is too painful and pointless for him to continue living like this.”Donald could only sigh after he was done speaking. He really did not know who Kian had offended and why he woul

    ”Oh, my God!”Sean could not stop himself from exclaiming out loud when he heard this. “Don Albert actually used a knife to carve the words ‘pathetic jerk’ on Cain’s son’s forehead?! You would not be exaggerating if you said that there was a deep hatred between them!”“Yes.” Donald smiled slightly before he said, “I guess Cain and his son can only dream of killing Don Albert and getting rid of him in their dreams!”When he heard his father’s words, Sean could not help but ask, “Dad, since you know that there is an enmity between Cain and Don Albert, why did you still invite Cain to come for the banquet dinner tonight?”Donald smiled again as he said, “Don’t you think that this is an opportunity for us to make use of Cain? He is nothing but a stray dog who wants to bite but does not dare to open his mouth. What he is currently lacking is a host that will back him up and support him so that he can open his mouth and bite with confidence in the future.”At this time, Sean replied, “D

    Before their car had even stopped properly, Sean looked out the window and saw a middle-aged man hurriedly rushing forward to greet them from outside the car. At this time, the middle-aged man also saluted both the father and son respectfully.Donald nodded slightly at him before he told Sean, “This is the Cain Lloyd I was telling you about.”Sean was slightly surprised.As soon as the car stopped, Cain came forward in a hurry as he opened the car door for Donald. After that, he quickly greeted them with a smile on his face, “Cain Lloyd at your service, Mr. Webb and young master Webb…”Donald nodded before he said, “You’ve arrived rather early today.”Cain hurriedly replied, “I truly would never have expected you to invite me to come for your banquet dinner tonight. I was afraid that I would be late if I did not come earlier.”Cain originally would not have the opportunity to come to The Heaven Springs in his lifetime.This was because Albert not only engraved the words ‘patheti

    Donald was very satisfied with Cain’s attitude. He nodded slightly before he walked into The Heaven Springs.Albert had already arranged for the employees of The Heaven Springs to make all the necessary preparations and prepare all the dishes for the banquet dinner that night. At the same time, all the other people who were invited to the banquet had also arrived early, and they had already been waiting for Donald for quite a long time.Albert, Graham, and Zeke had the same attitude toward the Webb family. They were not here to flatter Donald or to curry any favor with him, but they also had no intention of offending him and the Webb family.This was the reason why they accepted the Webb family invitation to attend this banquet dinner tonight.In fact, the three of them had already thought everything through. They had even met up in private to discuss this matter amongst themselves. They decided to simply give the Webb family some face and to be polite and respectful toward Donald,

    However, Albert did not care about seeing Cain face to face. When he saw the murderous expression on Cain’s face, Albert simply glared coldly at Cain as he deliberately raised his hand to touch his forehead.Cain trembled in rage when he saw Albert touching his forehead.However, he could only shake in anger as he did not dare to yell at Albert or take any actions against him whatsoever.After all, Cain knew that Albert was much stronger compared to him. Moreover, Donald himself had also said that he was still under probation as he was not even qualified to even become the Webb family’s dog.Cain felt extremely uncomfortable as he thought about this.What kind of world was this? Why did he have to be on probation and go under a d*mned trial period just to become someone else’s dog?However, he would endure the probationary period if he had to. As long as he passed this probation, things would definitely turn out well for him in the end. When that time came, he would have the stre

    When they were faced with Donald’s sudden question, Zeke smiled faintly before he said, “Mr. Webb, it is true that the three of us have already pledged our loyalty to someone else. Therefore, it would be very difficult for us to pledge our allegiance to the Webb family instead. We hope that you will understand our difficulties and forgive us…”Graham touched his nose slightly before he said, “Mr. White’s intentions are my intentions too.”Donald looked at Albert before he asked, “What about you, Don Albert?”Albert smiled before he said, “I am just a nobody amongst the upper class, simply a mobster boss. However, the thing that I pay utmost attention to is the word ‘loyalty’. The person that I have pledged my allegiance and loyalty to is treating me very well, thus, I will not turn my back on him and depend on someone else instead.”Donald could not help but frown at this time. He did not expect the three of them to have such a determined attitude.He really could not understand w

    Donald replied indifferently, “I am not asking you to help me deal with the Moore family. My son has recently fallen in love with Jasmine, and he would like to marry Jasmine from the Moore family. However, I heard that Jasmine seems to be in love with someone else. Therefore, I would really appreciate it if you could help me to find out the identity of the man Jasmine is in love with. If you can help me find this young man, I will definitely offer you a great reward!”Zeke and the others immediately exchanged glances with one another again.If Donald was saying that Jasmine already had someone she was interested in, they believed that this person would be none other than Mr. Wade himself…However, it was naturally impossible for them to tell Donald about Charlie or to even mention his name to him.At this time, Cain asked diligently, “Mr. Webb, do you want me to kill this person as soon as I find him?”Donald waved his hand as he said, “I do not need your help with anything else i

    Falling apart in both mind and spirit, Jacob was crying as he disembarked and took a cab to the hotel.Elaine, who had been lying around for 24 hours, was stunned speechless as she watched him enter, crying like a child.In contrast, Elaine looked like a mother to Jacob just then as he threw himself into her arms and bawled, "Darling… That prick Mr. Bay screwed me over… I have nothing left now…"Taken aback for a moment that Jacob would bawl in her arms like that, Elaine soon came to her senses and patted his back as she comforted him, "Oh, stop crying already. Who cares about some Calligraphy and Painting groupies? We certainly don't! Just hear me out and don't ever go there again!"Jacob kept sobbing, "But I care… I want to go…"Annoyed, Elaine's hand that had been patting Jacob a moment ago slid down to his hip and pinched him viciously before he noticed."Ow!" Jacob yelped in pain, and he demanded indignantly, "What was that for?!""Shut up!" Elaine snapped, glowering. "I wa

    Jacob couldn't even be bothered by the looks others were giving him, and he called Mr. Bay immediately.Mr. Bay had already gone home and was seated on the couch with his wife, watching his phone and waiting for Jacob to call and demand an explanation.Mr. Bay knew that he had to answer for this and that if he avoided Jacob, it may well be a confession that he had screwed Jacob over.So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to come clean with Jacob.Naturally, by coming clean, he meant passing the buck as his wife had suggested.Hence, as he answered Jacob's call, he immediately sighed in embarrassment, "Hey, Jacob. I'm so sorry about that…"However, Jacob was so furious he immediately started bellowing, "Mr. Bay! Are you fucking with me here?! You said that the resignation letter was more of a formality, but you just made it public instead! So, all those things you said about helping me were just a trap, was it?! You're despicable! And to think I've been so good to you, even

    The repeated flights had left Jacob tormented.Even before he actually had the time to enjoy Dubai, he had already gotten sick of the place and didn't want to ever return.And on the flight, he couldn't stop his thoughts from going astray.Now that he was not getting back the money he had lost, his only hope was Mr. Bay.Fortunately, Mr. Bay was serious about his promise that he would at least save him a job as department head. That was why, despite his thoughts running astray, he never considered the thought that he would be kicked out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.As soon as his flight landed, he didn't wait to turn off his phone's flight mode, waiting for the internet connection to return so that he could ask Mr. Bay about the meeting.Once he did, he received a ton of messages from public accounts to acquaintances—many had already found out that he had resigned from the post of administrative vice-president and wanted to ask how he was doing.And Matilda was

    The Calligraphy and Painting Association was certainly efficient—soon after the meeting was dismissed, the news that the administrative vice-president had resigned was posted on their official page and social media.The notice was simple and never mentioned what Jacob had done, only that the administrative vice-president had asked to resign for personal reasons. The request had since been voted upon, and all members had agreed to it.And that was how a simple and short message kicked Jacob out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association entirely.In the city, other associations closely connected with the Calligraphy and Painting Association were the various cultural societies and circles of antique enthusiasts and the Senior University. In fact, most fans of the public page of the Calligraphy and Painting Association were from the Senior City, and every lecturer, student, and even guest lecturer were subscribed.As a matter of fact, that was entirely Jacob's doing. After his lect

    There weren't that many members in the Calligraphy and Painting Association—just a handful over twenty.Hence, at Mr. Bay's request, everyone showed up at the conference at 1 pm.He chose the afternoon as there were a handful who were away on outreach, including Walker, who was subbing for Jacob's lectures.Once the entire Calligraphy and Painting Association save for Jacob was informed of the mandatory meeting, every member was there on the hour, seated primly and in attention in the huge conference room.Mr. Bay didn't waste his breath on the preamble either—as soon as he saw that everyone had arrived, he announced, "Everyone, I've gathered you here today because our administrative vice-president, Jacob Wilson, has been alleged to be involved in a certain malicious scheme."Last night, Mr. Wilson submitted his resignation to me, and after a discussion with my vice-presidents, we've all decided to hold a vote. It will be open to every member in the association as we will be decid

    Having sent his resignation letter, Jacob had no idea that it would be the catalyst for his dismissal.He didn't sleep well at the rundown motel either and had dark circles under his eyes as he rushed to the airport early the next morning.Clearing the checkpoint and boarding his flight, everything went smoothly until his flight to Dubai lifted off at 10 am.-Meanwhile, the other vice-presidents of the Calligraphy and Painting Association had arrived at Mr. Bay's office.They all had the same goal—pressure Mr. Bay and get Jacob kicked out of the association no matter what it took.Naturally, they knew that Mr. Bay most definitely would have to help Jacob since Jacob was close with Don Albert. If Mr. Bay insisted on protecting Jacob, they shouldn't insist, or Jacob would hear about it, and the man would bear a grudge.Even so, as the vice-presidents entered Mr. Bay's office and closed the door behind them, one of them couldn't help asking, "So, Mr. Bay—how do you intend to deal

    Hence, Mr. Bay sent a reply in under five minutes after Jacob sent his resignation letter.As Jacob tapped on it, he immediately saw Mr. Bay's reply: Mr. Wilson's resignation is a huge loss to the association. However, we should also respect his individual situation and opinion. As such, to discuss our direction forward, all vice-presidents are required to attend a meeting at 10am tomorrow to discuss this matter.Jacob was still perplexed as to why Mr. Bay would reply to his mail and even summon the other vice-presidents for a meeting, and when he had a closer look, he saw that Mr. Bay had forwarded his mail to everyone else.Seeing that, Jacob thought to himself that Mr. Bay could just stick to a discussion involving just Mr. Bay and the vice-presidents instead of the entire association.As such, he sent a voice message on WhatsApp: "Mr. Bay, did you make a mistake and forward my mail to everyone else?"Mr. Bay soon replied, "Everyone already knows about your situation, so there'

    Mr. Bay was left pursing his lips awkwardly. "T-That's way too despicable, don't you think? I'm the one who asked him to write a resignation and give up his place as vice-president while I handle the other vice-presidents and resolve the entire matter internally. Everyone can take a step back from escalation, and it's a solution that could please everyone."If I take that resignation at face value, won't it be like a bank goading a client into taking a scam loan? Won't he hate me to the bone if he finds out I screwed him over?""What are you worried about?" Mrs. Bay shot back in annoyance. "Are you that scared of Jacob Wilson turning against you? Hell, my own sister hates me to the bone—but what did you think I told her? That I'm never lending her the money no matter how much she hates me!"What do you think would have happened if I were worried about her feelings and loaned her the money she asked for? She wouldn't have to use a single cent to get herself a new house! She would say

    "Don Albert… is giving up on Jacob Wilson?!"Mr. Bay exclaimed in shock. "B-But he was so respectful toward Jacob just the other day when we had dinner at the Heaven Springs… He gave us the best private room and even offered his best wine, filling our glasses personally…"Mrs. Bay waved him off. "You've been stuck with the retirees of the Calligraphy and Painting Association for so long that you've lost your nose for danger! Just think about it—married couples who were just sharing a bed one night could pull a knife on their partner the very next day. And these are men with priorities we're talking about."Also, you should take into account that Zachary Evans is Don Albert's right-hand man, and Jacob somehow dragged him into a fraud scheme. So, do you think Don Albert would be happy with that?"And according to Zachary's public statement, all the money they got went straight into Jacob's pocket—and what does that mean? It means Zachary is an accessory to a crime—at worst, an accomp
