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,
Isaac did not know of the conflicts between Donald and Charlie.As soon as he heard that Donald was here to visit him, he was very respectful and polite as he did not dare to neglect him. Although he was the spokesperson for the Wade family in Aurous Hill, the other party was none other than the eldest son of the top family in the South Region after all. Since Donald has already taken the initiative to come and visit him, Isaac felt that he should also entertain him in a very polite and respectful manner.Therefore, he hurriedly said, “Please ask Mr. Webb to come to my office now.”The receptionist did not dare to act slowly and she quickly said to Donald, “Mr. Webb, our chairman, Mr. Cameron, invites you to stop by his office. Please come with me.”Donald nodded slightly before he followed the receptionist as she brought him to take the chairman’s exclusive elevator to Isaac’s office.As Donald was the eldest son of the Webb family, he naturally had to live in the best hotel if h
Julien shook his head and gingerly asked, "Jordan Fox likes his granddaughter?"Charlie smiled, shaking his head. "And your father doesn't like you as his eldest? Admiration is no guarantee of inheritance. And if we're talking about love, is it not a gesture of love that he provided you with endless cash and a life of privilege that only the world's top one percent can enjoy?"Julien also noticed the flaw in his logic. "Then, do you perchance know why, Mr. Wade?"Charlie nodded. "Jordan granted his position to Kathleen because that was the condition I proposed to him in return for prolonging his life. No succession, no pills—no matter how much he was willing to pay me for it."Then, Charlie looked Julien straight in the eye as he continued solemnly, "If the day comes and I find you more reliable, I will choose you as the sole broker for your father's pills. Just think about it—if the day comes that you're the only person your father can get his pills from, would he say no if you as
Charlie chuckled. "You might think that I'm screwing you over, but in reality, I'm indirectly solidifying your place as heir apparent. From what I've learned, your family has not confirmed who it would be."Julien chuckled awkwardly. "You're right, but I am now. With the pills you've provided, however, my father might live longer than me…"Charlie nodded. "Since we have the fortune of meeting over drinks, I shall cut to the chase—to me, it doesn't matter who between you or your father lives longer. My priority is with whom I could hope for a better partnership."And right now, your father has shown more sincerity than you have, which was why I asked Helena to provide him with my pills."Pausing, Charlie then asked, "Are you aware of your father's recent activities? In Northern Europe?""A little," Julien replied. "A data center or something along those lines."Charlie nodded again. "See, I've asked Helena to make him a new offer—I will provide him with one pill should he build an
Charlie had actually invited Julien over to bring him aboard his metaphorical ship.While not particularly down-to-earth, Julien was still the second most important figure in the Rothschild family, and having him on board wouldn't hurt.Moreover, just having drinks with Charlie and Raymond here basically told everyone they were friends. If Harrison knew that Julien was meeting the son of Curtis Wade as well as 'Biden Cole', who had taken the Four-Sided Treasure Tower from the Rothstchilds, he just might have Julien shot.While Julien may not become the head of the Rothschild family anytime soon, he would prove very useful.With Helena basically controlling Harrison and Charlie himself controlling Julien, traveling Stateside would be no different from going home."It seems I must reevaluate my opinion of you now with that attitude."Charlie smiled at Julien and raised his cup, "Come, let's have a toast—to friendship."Julien nodded, picked up his cup, exclaiming cheerfully, "To f
Pausing, Julien then said, "I mostly drink wine and the occasional whiskey.""How much are those, usually?" Raymond asked.Julien thought about it. "If it's table wine, 10,000 to 50,000 USD. For bigger occasions, it'd be something over a hundred thousand."Raymond nodded and pointed at the bottle of Oskian vodka he had bought. "Guess how much that is?"Julein shook his head. "I don't usually drink Oskian alcohol, so I'm not too sure…""Come on," Charlie chuckled. "We're not asking if you know—we're just asking you to take a guess.""Then…" Julien quickly said. "I'm guessing, three thousand?""Three thousand?" Raymond chuckled and shook his head. "That's way too flattering. It's around 7 USD.""Seven bucks?!" Julien exclaimed, and he blurted, "You usually drink something that cheap, Mr. Cole?""Well, not stateside," Raymond smiled. "But I liked it after I ordered one from a diner yesterday. It's cheap, and it has quality."Julien gulped as he stared at his own cup filled to th
Julien flinched and promptly threw his hands up. "No, no, no… please don't say that, Mr. Wade! That's not what I mean—as a son, it's only right that I hope my father lives long and prospers. Why wouldn't I want him to?"Charlie pointed out, "Then why'd you say that I've screwed you over repeatedly?""Oh. I, uh…" Julien wasn't sure how to respond to that, and he groaned unhappily, "I was not being mindful with words. I take that back…" Charlie nodded. "Then, I'll give you another chance.""Huh?" Julien was left confused, and he quickly asked, "Another chance… for what?"Charlie clapped him on the shoulder again, smiling, "We're old friends, aren't we? Why would I screw you over? Anyway, your turn."Julien was left utterly aggrieved as he read through Charlie's intention—that was precisely the definition of screwing him over!If his father knew he had come to Aurous Hill to hang out with these two, especially Biden Cole, he would definitely be removed as heir! And yet, Charlie
Having seen a sliver of the common folk's plight, Julien turned back to the journey at hand.Soon, his MPV arrived at Aurous Hill's Antique Street.As it was closing hours, the place appeared bleak, almost as though it had been completely abandoned. It was only during opening hours and the few hours before closing that the place became most alive anyway.Most of the time, the vendors and employees outnumbered the guests, and during closing hours, it would get very quiet. One wouldn't even find strays here as there weren't scraps around.Still, Julien had no idea what the hell the place was, even as he arrived outside Treasure Measure following the location Charlie had sent.Once he was sure he was at the right place, he called Charlie, immediately sounding respectful and flattering, "I'm here, Mr. Wade. If you don't mind opening the door…""Alright, just hang on," Charlie said and put down the phone while turning to Raymond, who was putting the food on a folding table, "Our frien
The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What
At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav
The cabbie nodded. "Well, Talbot Associates, it is! They're said to be number two."-While Jacob was heading off to consult a law firm, Charlie was calling Julien Rothschild over the phone.The manchild had just had room service and was lounging on the couch, fiddling with his phone.After visiting the kennels with Charlie, he had been idling his days away at the hotel, waiting for Salem and his son to post that video of them being out at sea.Once that was done, Julien would return to the States, once more the heir apparent of the Rothschilds. Still, it was boring to simply lounge around in the hotel, and he would really like to strengthen his ties with Charlie.However, he was also afraid of being too forward as Charlie could be intimidating, and he could upset him—just like a fan eager to get close to their idol but was still worried about their idol getting disgusted with them.As such, he never expected Charlie to call him, and he immediately answered eagerly, "Good even
