Chapter 887

Author: Lord Leaf
Charlie’s words awakened the old man in an instant.

At this time, he finally realized that evasion was not the solution to the problem. Instead, the best solution was for him to face the problem and find the best way to resolve the issue.

If he really wanted to start a proper relationship with Matilda, then the only way for him to do so was to divorce Elaine.

He could only marry Matilda and officially make her his wife after he divorced Elaine.

As he thought about this, Jacob felt much better and he quickly told Charlie, “Okay, I understand now. You should go and look for your friends now. I’ll ask around to inquire about the divorce procedures. I will ask your mother for a divorce as soon as she comes home.”

After bidding farewell to his father-in-law, Charlie took a cab to Shangri-La.

Isaac was already patiently waiting for him.

The lobby manager invited Charlie to Isaac’s office in a respectful manner.

As soon as he closed the office door behind him, Isaac immediately said r

At this time, Elaine really felt that she was on the verge of collapse. She was down with a bad cold and a high fever.The high fever made Elaine feel as though she was burning all over and she felt that she was going to faint. However, she was still not allowed to lie on her bed. Instead, she could only curl up and shiver as she hid in the corner of the cell in the detention center.Elaine could not help but feel extremely cold because of her high fever. She trembled uncontrollably at this time.Elaine felt that she would not b

    When Jennifer heard Elaine’s tearful accusations, she suddenly realized that what Elaine said actually made complete sense.The old lady was constantly accusing Elaine of being an unfilial daughter-in-law and she also said that Elaine was scolding her, beating her up, and stopping her from moving into the villa at Thompson First with her.However, the old lady did not look like a person who had been tortured or tormented for a long time. She was very healthy physically and mentally and she also had a very strong spirit. Furthermore, she was not fragile at all when she hit Elaine.Therefore, even though Elaine might have ten points deducted for her unfilial piety, the old lady’s hatred and revenge for Elaine would be at least one hundred percent!When Jennifer saw that the old lady was still hitting Elaine at this time, she immediately felt that something was wrong.She hurriedly said, “Stop hitting her, old lady. I think that you’re really being a little too ruthless. No matter wh

    “She was the one who ruined my son’s life! Do you think that I’ll be able to make up for my son’s lifelong happiness just by hitting her and beating her up a couple of times?”Every inmate in the whole cell was all stunned at this time. No one would have ever expected Elaine to have done such a shameless thing back then!What do women hate the most? A cheating man and his mistress!Lady Wilson’s words successfully aroused everyone’s hatred and disgust for Elaine once again!Everyone started scolding her: “This stinky and shameless woman actually dared to do such a shameless thing at such a young age! D*mn it!”“That’s true. Why would any decent woman try to have sex with a man who is already drunk? Isn’t she simply a shameless sl*t?”“She’s really disgusting! The only way to teach a shameless vixen like her is to hit her so she’ll learn her lesson the hard way!”When she saw that she had successfully aroused the hatred of all the inmates in the cell towards Elaine, Lady Wilson

    Elaine never would have expected to endure a beating and pay the price for the consequences of her actions because of the incident relating to Matilda after more than twenty years had already passed by.She initially thought that she would be able to convince Jennifer to take her side. She never would have expected Lady Wilson to subvert all of her efforts just by bringing up this matter. Instead, she was plunging into an endless abyss at this time.The few women who came up to beat her violently have all experienced a tragic history of a third party intervening in their marriage and relationship. Therefore, when they were hitting and kicking her, they brought all of their old hatred into this matter and they did not show any mercy towards Elaine at all.Elaine was in so much pain that she felt as though she was dying after she was getting beaten up again. Elaine felt as though she was going into shock a couple of times but she was woken up twice when the other inmates began to kick

    Elaine nodded in a daze before she said, “Sister Jennifer, please let me have some food. Otherwise, I’m really going to die…”Jennifer sneered before she poured the rest of the porridge in the lunchbox on the ground. After that, she tapped the porridge on the ground with her toes before she sneered and said, “Do you want to eat something? If you want to eat it, then you can just lick it off the ground!”When Jennifer had asked Elaine to lick the porridge off the ground yesterday, she was very unwilling to do so.This was because Elaine felt that she could not kneel down and do such an embarrassing and humiliating thing just to get some food.However, she could not be bothered about her own face and reputation anymore. Who cared about all of that indiscretions as long as she could fill her stomach? So what if she had to kneel down and lick the porridge off the ground?Therefore, Elaine knelt down and she started to use her tongue to lick the cold porridge off the concrete floor wit

    After getting taken to the police station, Elaine was immediately brought to an interrogation roomA few police officers came in before they sat down in front of her and said, “Elaine, have you thought it through seriously in the past two days? Are you ready to confess all of your crimes?”Elaine started crying as she said, “Officer, I’ve already told you that I was wronged…”The officer snorted coldly before he said, “What? Do you really think that this is the first day that we are interrogating our suspects? If we cannot catch any of your accomplices, then we will just put this entire crime on you then! If that is the case, then you will probably be shot for your crime!”As soon as Elaine heard that she might be shot, she panicked and she started pleading immediately, “Officer! I have already told you many times that the card does not belong to me!”“I simply took the bank card out of my son-in-law’s pocket. The password for my son-in-law’s bank card was his birthday. That shoul

    After that, the police officer continued speaking, “Your son-in-law is a very upright and magnanimous person. He does not have any greed in him at all. As soon as he received this bank card and found out the balance in this bank card, he made a police report about this matter. We told him not to act too hastily or behave in a rush. However, you had stolen his bank card and actually gone straight to Citibank to withdraw the money!”Elaine exclaimed regretfully, “Oh! If I had known that this was the situation all along, I would not have stolen his bank card even if you killed me!”As Elaine spoke, she could not stop crying bitterly. She really did not expect to walk right into this kind of trap!It turned out that a criminal organization had stolen Charlie’s personal data, forged a bank card before sending it directly to Charlie!They simply did this to lure Charlie and tricked him into having greed for the $21.9 billion balance in the bank card!After that, Charlie would go to the

    Elaine completely believed the story that the police officer had told her. What she was most worried about right now was that the police officer would continue detaining her in the detention center to prevent her from spreading any rumors or raising any false alarms. If that really happened, then she did not know when she would finally be able to regain her freedom.Elaine looked at the police officer with pleading eyes as she cried and said, “Officer, I really won’t say a word about this matter to anyone at all. Please let me go. If you continue to lock me up in the detention center, I will definitely die inside the cell…”The police officer shook his head cautiously before he said, “Elaine, I cannot believe you. After all, I have already seen plenty of people like you. On the surface, you will tell us that you will not tell anyone about this matter but as soon as we let you go, you will definitely tell people about this matter because of your big mouth.”After that, the police o

    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.
