When Sean saw that his father firmly believed that Charlie definitely had more Rejuvenation Pills on him, he looked at his father before he asked, “Dad, are you really going to look for Charlie and beg him to give you a Rejuvenation Pill?”“That’s right.” Donald nodded slightly before he said, “You’ll come with me later and I’ll apologize to Charlie on your behalf. After that, you’ll kneel down and beg for Charlie’s forgiveness. After that, I’ll take advantage of the opportunity to ask him for a Rejuvenation Pill then.”Sean had a very depressed expression on his face as he said, “Dad, do you mean that you want me to kneel down before him and apologize and confess to my mistake? After that, you’ll take advantage of this opportunity to ask him for the pill?”Donald glared at Sean before he asked, “Do you have anything to say about my plan?”Sean was startled by the look in his father’s eyes and he hurriedly waved his hand as he said, “No…I have no objections at all!”Donald nodded
First of all, what was the reason that Anthony decided to open Serene World Clinic in Aurous Hill? It was simply because Anthony wanted to repay Charlie’s kindness. That was the main reason that Anthony had decided to move to Aurous Hill.As a result, Donald and his son actually had the audacity to smash and destroy Anthony’s medical hall. He really could not tolerate and swallow the anger that he was feeling!Unexpectedly, Donald returned to the banquet hall with Sean at this time.Moreover, instead of bringing Sean back to his table, Donald brought Sean with him as they headed directly to Charlie’s table.As soon as they arrived at Charlie’s table, Donald immediately arched his hand as he said in a respectful manner, “Master Wade, I’m sorry if my son has offended you in any way because he didn’t know what he was doing and saying earlier. I’ve brought him here to apologize to you and to ask for your forgiveness now. I hope that you won’t take it to heart and I hope that you can ac
Donald felt his heart tighten as soon as he heard Charlie’s words.He knew that Charlie would not give in so easily. However, since he had already offered a sky-high price of one billion dollars, he thought that Charlie would have given in and forgotten all the contradictions that had happened earlier for the sake of the money.However, he really did not expect this guy to pay no attention to the sky-high price of one billion dollars at all. Instead, Charlie was going through the old account and he was still taking it to heart.If this was a normal business transaction, Donald would have already left upon encountering an opponent who would be negotiating in this manner, no matter how big the business opportunity was.However, Donald could not just shake his hands and leave right now.This was because deep down in his heart, Donald could not resist the temptation of the Rejuvenating Pill at all. It was as though Donald had been completely captivated by the attraction brought about
This was really tricky!He really did not know about their relationship prior to this!Donald had simply thought that Anthony was nothing more than a well-known and reputable doctor in the country. Since he could not beat him up, then he could only smash and destroy his clinic to exert a little pressure and force the genius doctor to finally agree to see and treat his youngest son.He really did not expect to cause more trouble for himself.However, Donald was very eager to get his hand on the Rejuvenating Pill. At this time, Donald could only turn around as he pointed his finger at his son, Sean, who was kneeling down beside him at this time. After that, he said indignantly, “Hey! This is all my son’s fault! He is very impulsive and ill-mannered. I’m sorry that I did not teach my son well!”Sean could not help but twitch slightly at this time.He really did not expect that he would have to bear the responsibility for his father’s action at this time.Even though he was very ang
Donald stared blankly at Charlie as he swallowed the Rejuvenating Pill and he suddenly became very angry!It was only then that he realized that Charlie was only messing with him from the very beginning to the end!He had never intended to sell the Rejuvenating Pill to him! Charlie was simply trying to embarrass both the father and son in public!Moreover, Donald really could not believe that he was naïve enough to believe that Charlie would be touched just because of the one billion dollars that he had quoted him. How could he believe that Charlie would agree to sell the Rejuvenating Pill to him just because he had apologized to him?Donald was really furious and frustrated when he realized that Charlie had been playing around with him. Besides that, Charlie had even broken his son’s hand!Donald stood up immediately before he shouted, “Charlie! I won’t call myself a man anymore if I don’t kill you today!”After that, Donald took out his cell phone as he called his bodyguards fo
At this time, Reuben hurriedly stood up before he said, “Grandpa, the Moore family has already shared a friendship and connection with the Webb family for so many years! Please think twice before making a decision!”Reuben really did not want to see the Moore family and the Webb family breaking all ties and connections with one another.After all, he was still hoping that he would be able to get Jasmine to marry into the Webb family. If the two families broke all ties with one another, then what he hoped for would never be possible!Lord Moore glanced at Reuben before he said lightly, “There’s nothing left to think about! The Webb family is the top and most influential family in the South Region and the Moore family cannot afford this friendship! I declare that the Moore family will break off all ties and connections with the Webb family from this day onwards!”Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded as soon as Lord Moore said those words.No one would have expected a fallout betwee
Donald and Sean, the father and son, were filled with incomparable resentment as they left the Moore family villa.Sean clutched tightly onto his broken hand as he cried out in tears, “Dad! I’d already told you not to go and beg that pathetic piece of trash but you refused to listen to me! Now, not only have I broken my hand but he also embarrassed and humiliated you in public! Don’t you find it really very embarrassing?”Donald looked at his son with a black face as he said, “The one with the last name Wade is simply seeking his own death! So, he shouldn’t blame me for not being merciful towards him in the future. Don’t worry, Sean. Dad will definitely avenge you!”Sean blurted out, “Then, can we kill Charlie tonight?”“No!” Donald replied coldly. “We have to act according to our original plan. The first thing that we have to do is to kill Don Albert first so we can get rid of Don Albert’s firepower! After that, it will be so much easier for us to get rid of Charlie and the Moore
When Sean heard his father’s words, he could not help but ask, “Dad, aren’t you going to the hospital with me?”Donald replied, “There are still a lot of things that I have to deal with today. Now that we have already broken all ties with the Moore family, we have to first find another place to stay for the night. I am going to make a trip to Shangri-La and book one of the presidential suites there. After that, I will visit Isaac Cameron and pay my respects to him. Once you are done receiving treatment for your hand, you can come to Shangri-La to look for me directly. I will tell you about all my plans at that time!”“You want to visit Isaac Cameron?” Sean could not help but ask out of frustration, “Dad, why do you even need to visit him? Isn’t he nothing more than a dog that is working for the Wade family from Eastcliff? Is that even more important than my broken hand?”Donald frowned before he said, “What do you know? Even though the Webb family dominates the entire South Region,
Charlie chuckled. "Don't sell yourself short, Mr. Hart. There are plenty of business folk who got so used to their comfort zone that they became caught in the illusion that they can be successful in anything they do. It's a mindset that leads to them blindly developing new projects and new competition, and then they end up losing big."If memory serves, there have been real estate businesses that started mineral water brands, search engines that tried the car industry, e-commerce sites attempting social media, and vice-versa. All of them are multi-billion-dollar companies venturing into new frontiers, but all to unimpressive outcomes."Pausing, Charlie then continued, "You've mentioned rising above the competition amidst the development of the new energy industry. That would get anyone's attention, and it is why I believe that you definitely will make a strong impression with your strategizing and knowledge of the basic principles."Yolden found it hard to refuse, seeing that Charli
Having lost it all, Jacob really looked like he wouldn't be getting back up.But fortunately, he had a pillar in the form of Elaine.In fact, Elaine would serve to be a container, whipping Jacob into shape if he got too full of himself.But on the other hand, now that Jacob was utterly despondent, she would be forcing him to smile and function in general.Elaine's attitude to the entire issue was clear as well. Even though Jacob had just lost his job, she would make him go shopping with her in Dubai even if he fell into a coma. Even if he was dead, she'd just cremate him and bring his ashes along.Hence, with Elaine's firm grip around Jacob's leash, he went on strolls, going shopping and taking selfies with Elaine everyday, eventually easing the toll on his mood and spirit.-Back at Aurous Hill, Charlie was preparing for Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall's wedding as it approached.Yolden was a schoolmate of his mother, Ashley Layna Acker, as well as Charlie's elder.And while Cha
"See you." As soon as Charlie hung up on Matilda, Don Albert's call came right after.He sounded nervous as Charlie answered the phone, saying, "Master Wade, I think I might have gone too far…""Wait, what's this about?" Charlie asked."Your father-in-law, of course…" Don Albert sighed. "You asked me to leave him hanging for a while, so I did. I even refused when he asked to book a room in Heaven Springs.""Well, that's not a problem, is it?" Charlie shrugged. "He and Zachary ganged up for some real mischief. As you are Zachary's boss, it's right that you refused him because you didn't appreciate what he did.""That's just it. I thought that approach was just right as well," Don Albert quickly said. "I wasn't playing nice when Mr. Bay of the Calligraphy and Painting Association called me either. That's when he said he'd try to save Jacob's position as vice-president, but I told him it's none of my business."I then hung up on him without much thought, only for Zachary to tell m
Meanwhile, Charlie was downstairs in Claire's office, waiting to pick her up and head home.That was when Matilda called him, asking as soon as he answered, "Charlie, do you know how Jacob is doing? He never answered any of my texts—is he going to be alright?""I wouldn't know," Charlie replied. "Both he and Elaine are in Dubai on a trip… What's wrong?""He resigned," Matilda sighed. "I only saw the public statement that the Calligraphy and Painting Association posted this afternoon. It says that he tendered the resignation himself, but it doesn't really feel that way. I wonder if he's at odds with other members of the association…"Charlie was actually surprised to hear that Jacob had resigned.He had told Zachary to expose the truth of the bronze sculpture fraud case to teach Jacob a lesson so that Jacob would understand the meaning of true pain.However, he anticipated that Mr. Bay would at least keep Jacob around with an unimportant job even if Jacob did lose some money and e
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
