At this moment, Cain paused for a while and looked around uneasily, then he huffed a breath and continued, “Honestly speaking, Donald’s wife is really beautiful. She was known to be the prettiest in the South Region!”Marcus hurriedly asked, “Do you mean the cuckolding wife whom Donald wanted to sleep with 10,000 men?”“Yes, it’s her!” Cain said with a look of fascination, “I even dreamed of sleeping with her once! Imagine Donald Webb’s wife cheating on him with me, how cool is that?!”Marcus frantically said, “Dad, I heard that she’s okay with all men, may I join you too?”Cain laughed and said, “Of course, son! Let’s go now, shall we? It isn’t even 9 pm yet. If we drive now, we can reach Sudbury by midnight and that’s about time for Donald’s wife to take care of us!”“Wow, awesome!” Marcus grinned excitedly. “Let’s go now!”At this moment, Charlie pressed the stop button and nodded with delight. “Not bad, I think both of you have some talent in stand up. Alright then, you can s
Cain and Marcus Lloyd disappeared from their sight. Albert suddenly found Master Wade’s punishment amusing. He got the two men panicking for the rest of their lives without getting his hands dirty. It was the best punishment for them.At this moment, the five bodyguards were still laying on the floor of the Diamond Room.Albert asked, “Master Wade, what do you want to do with these men? Do you want to kill them, or…”Charlie clicked his tongue and asked, “Hmm, think. Do you have any good ideas?”Albert glared at Johnny with utter resentment and hatred.Never did he imagine that the Webb family would actually kill him.Thanks to Master Wade, he managed to survive. Otherwise, he would have already died in Johnny’s hands!Therefore, Albert’s hatred towards the Webb family had reached its peak in an instant.He wished he could just chop Johnny up into a million pieces right now!He turned to Charlie and said, “Master Wade, leave these guys to me!”Charlie asked curiously, “What d
Four words for the first guy;Five words for the second;Six words for the third;Seven words for the fourth.Since he was the fifth one, did that mean he had to have eight words carved on his forehead?There wasn’t enough space on his forehead for that many words!!Johnny burst into tears and pleaded while wiping his tears and snots, “Master Wade, please forgive me. I’ll be loyal to you, I’ll be your dog, I’ll follow your every demand…”Charlie replied flatly, “You don’t have what it takes to be my dog yet, but if you continue to blabber so much nonsense, I’ll let Albert feed you to his dogs! I always walk the talk, dare me!”Johnny instantly shut his mouth.He was genuinely afraid of Charlie!He didn’t dare blurt a word after Charlie’s threat for fear that Charlie would really kill him!At this moment, Albert picked up the knife from the floor, walked to the first guy, and asked, “Master Wade, what do you want to carve first?”Charlie thought as he said, “It has to be sho
After Johnny kept quiet, Albert dragged the third guy who had volunteered and asked, “Master Wade, what about this one?”“Sean Webb is a butt bandit.”Albert nodded. He relaxed his hand and started carving the six words on the man’s face.Then, it was the fourth guy’s turn.“Master Wade, this time, it’s seven words.”“Hmm… ‘Donald Webb is pathetically weak in bed.’”Albert couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “Master Wade, why can’t we be more direct? Just say he is impotent or has erectile dysfunction.”Charlie waved his hand. “It’s very sensitive, we can’t speak of it so directly, the girls will blush when they see it.”Very quickly, Albert was done with his artwork.The last one left was Johnny.Johnny stared in fear at his brothers and their bloody faces.He was a very proud and arrogant man. His unfathomable strength and power made him think that he was the strongest guy in the world and it slowly became his facade.However, he dared not blurt a word at this moment, oth
But who would know whether they were telling the truth or lying?Albert was a little annoyed by now. He slapped Johnny in frustration and shouted, “Just shut up, will you?! If I hear another whimper, I’ll carve a William Shakespeare play on your whole body!”The slap was so hard, Johnny’s eyes were blank for a short moment. He didn’t dare to blurt another word now, so he cried while enduring the sharp blade dancing on his face.He could feel the sensation of the blade cutting through the skin on his forehead and touching the skin. The immerse pain made him almost faint and the blood was constantly dripping from his forehead that he couldn’t open his eyes.He regretted everything he did today. If he had known what kind of a miserable ending that he would suffer, he would not have agreed to kill Albert regardless of how much Donald gave him…Unfortunately, there was no such thing in the world as a rewind button…At this moment, Donald’s five bodyguards became the human-sized billbo
Jacob had been watching silently from the corner as his son-in-law turned things around and brought about a radical change, reversing the course of events. He was extremely shocked.He could not understand how Charlie could be so strong nor why he had such a strong aura around him.This Charlie was completely different from the Charlie that was always being yelled at and reprimanded by Elaine at home.At this time, Charlie stepped forward before he asked, “Dad, are you okay?”Jacob hurriedly shook his head as he said, “Yes, I’m fine. Fortunately, you came in time. Otherwise, I would have suffered a very terrible fate…”Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “Dad, I am truly thankful that you are fine. I have already taught those people a lesson. Are you satisfied now?”“Satisfied! I am very satisfied!” Jacob nodded repeatedly. After that, he asked with a worried expression on his face, “Charlie, don’t you think that you were being a little too cruel just now? Aren’t you afraid t
Marcus’s mother did not dare to say anything else after she heard this. She knew that the situation was very serious. So, she hurriedly started to pack her belongings.Cain asked Marcus, “Check out the situation on TikTok. Has Charlie already uploaded the video of us on TikTok?”Marcus raised his hands as he said, “My cell phone is with Charlie. He used my cell phone to take the video.”“D*mn it.” Cain hurriedly took out his cell phone and threw it at Marcus as he said, “Hurry up and check out the situation on TikTok!”Marcus took his father’s cell phone in his hand before he started downloading the TikTok application on the cell phone.He scrolled through a few videos on TikTok and realized that there was no video of him doing a stand-up comedy with his father. Feeling a little relieved, he quickly told his father, “Charlie probably has not posted the video on TikTok yet.”“That’s good.” Cain nodded slightly before he said, “We should not delay this any further. Hurry up and pac
The car finally arrived at Shangri-La.Alas, the five men could not even open the car door on their own.The Shangri-La hotel staff usually looked down on all rental cars. Therefore, they rarely opened the car door for any guests who arrived at the hotel in a cab. When they saw the cab, they deliberately acted as though they could not see the car at all, refusing to step forward to open the car door for them.There was a moment of awkward silence in the car. At this time, Johnny suddenly yelled at the cab driver, “D*mn it! Are you blind?! Don’t you know how to open the car door for us?”The cab driver was a little annoyed, and he said, “Then, you should pay me the cab fare first. You told me that you would pay me ten thousand dollars for this trip.”Johnny replied, “Help me open the car door first. After getting off the car, you can take the money from my pocket by yourself. I cannot move my arms right now because my arms are injured.”The cab driver got out of the car before he
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
