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
Donald was too embarrassed to tell Isaac that someone had broken his son’s wrist. Therefore, he simply said, “He has to go out to do something. He will come over here later. I will bring him over here to visit you when he comes later!”Isaac nodded slightly before he said, “Okay then. Why don’t I arrange for someone to take you to your presidential suite now so that you can rest first? When your son returns in the evening, we can have dinner together. I will be your host and pick you up for dinner tonight.”Donald was overjoyed and he hurriedly said, “Alright then, Mr. Cameron.”He felt that even though he had simply been acquaintances with Isaac in the past, now that Isaac has already accepted his gift after his visit here today, this was equivalent to him getting one step closer to the Wade family.This was what Donald really desired.As the spokesperson of the Wade family in Aurous Hill, Isaac was a stepping stone that Donald could use to secure his future. As long as he could
When Cain heard Donald saying that they were going to kill Don Albert tonight, he suddenly became very excited!He has already been expecting and hoping for Don Albert to die. However, he really did not expect his wish to be fulfilled now!Moreover, after Don Albert was killed, then not only would he be able to get revenge on him but the Webb family would also be able to take advantage of this situation to place him in the top position in the underground world.If that was the case, wouldn’t he become the next underground mobster boss in Aurous Hill?As he thought about this, Cain could not help but tremble in excitement.Sean quickly asked, “Dad, Don Albert has so many men in Aurous Hill. Would it be so easy for us to kill him?”Donald replied lightly, “You have to remember something, son. To kill Don Albert, we do not have to kill all of his men first!”“Dad, what do you mean?”Donald replied coldly, “Don Albert might have a lot of men under his control. However, all of his m
At this time, at Lord Moore’s birthday banquet, Charlie was waiting for the banquet to officially begin. He wanted to offer a toast to Lord Moore so that he could make a trip to Anthony’s Serene World Clinic to take a look at the situation there.As they sat around the dinner table, Zeke, Graham, Aurora, Albert, Liam, and even Doris were all looking at Charlie with even more admiration and respect than before.The miraculous effect of the Rejuvenating Pill was really impressive.However, at this time, none of them has actively mentioned the Rejuvenating Pill in front of Charlie.Even though Charlie still had about twenty Rejuvenating Pills left, he was not ready to take them out as a gift at this time.Even though Zeke, Graham and Albert were not young, they were all far from reaching old age.Therefore, Charlie felt that there was no need for them to take the Rejuvenating Pill now.If they continue working hard and following him in a steady and loyal manner, then he would defin
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
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
