Chapter 759

Author: Lord Leaf
At this moment, Lord Webb was lying weakly in the ICU room of his luxurious mansion.

Wires and cables scattered on his body like a million worms. The ECG monitor, blood pressure machine, blood oximeter, and so on were hooked to his body to monitor his condition round the clock. In fact, in order to sustain the old man’s condition, the doctors infused nutrient solutions through a tube and installed an oxygen inhalation system for him.

The TikTok video was such a disastrous blow to Lord Webb that it triggered a severe heart attack instantly. Couple with his old age, he wasn’t physically and mentally strong enough to withstand the blow that he succumbed to a heart attack. It was fortunate that it didn’t escalate to a full-blown myocardial infarction.

The old man was lying in bed, angrily cursing, when Donald, Sean, Kean, Derrick, and the rest of the family members came into the ICU room.

“Those two shameless bastards, how dare they openly insult my family! If I don’t kill them, the W

    Sean knew that his grandfather adored him since he was a kid. He burst into tears and quickly wiped his tears away and said firmly, “Grandpa, don’t worry about me, I can handle it. You must take care of yourself!”Lord Webb, similar to Lord Moore, was the face of the Webb family. Moreover, he was very influential and had very wide and diversified social connections. He had friends in politics, business, and even the underworld. This was not only due to his rich experience but also because he remained close and direct relationships with many people and had helped a lot of people in the process.If Lord Webb passed away, these people would not be respectful to the Webb family like they did now. By then, the family’s influence would inevitably decrease by a large margin.In addition, Lord Webb was very wise and nimble. He did not hold the power for too long, instead, he chose to retire and hand over the power to Donald. In this way, his descendants would not resent or disgust with hi

Don’t you dare run away from me! I’ll break your leg!”Once he took a step forward, he suddenly felt dizzy and whimpered softly, “Oh damn…”He knew that the time had come again!In an instant, Kian Webb’s consciousness was replaced by the disgusting desire. His eyes blinked ecstatically when he saw the filthy excretion that the driver didn’t manage to flush away.

    Early the next morning. Claire went to her office after eating breakfast.Jacob sat in the living room, sulking and glowering. He shot a silent and disdainful glare at Elaine when she walked into the living hall.When he thought about the two million dollars that Elaine lost in the silly mahjong game, the wrath of fury reignited inside him.He didn’t have much money himself. The two million dollars were the savings they had accumulated over the years, including the money that he earned from reselling the antique, but now, it had all gone down the drain.In fact, Jacob felt that he should pick up his old tricks and begin trading at Antique Street again, and thus, he asked Zachary to sell his antiques.Elaine pasted a sheepish smile on her face when she saw Jacob, feeling guilty and sorry, but Jacob treated her as if she was invisible.She dared not complain about it, so she turned to Charlie and chided agitatedly, “Hey, Charlie, since you have nothing to do around here, quickly

Make more money while you’re at it, it’s best if you can earn enough for the furniture and appliances purchase!”“Hmm, I’ll see what I can do.”In truth, Charlie already had the plan sorted out. He planned to take out two million from his card to buy the furniture and claim that it was from the feng shui job.He didn’t want his wife to live in this dilapidated house anymore. Besides, their room was only a wall’s gap from Elaine’s, they even had to share a bathroom. It was getting quite annoying and irritating now.If they moved to the villa, they would occupy one floor while Jacob and Elaine stayed on a different floor. That way, they could reduce the chances of bumping into each other and the friction along the way.Therefore, he bluffed about the feng shui job, but his plan was to go to the bank after lunch with Lord

    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
