It was late at night in Oskia, and Paul was sound asleep when he got Jimmy's call.Jolting awake, he was about to hang up when he saw who it was.Still, he soon remembered that Jimmy would be working under Matilda despite his previously questionable behavior, and he definitely wouldn't cause further troubles after Matilda's wedding, so it was fine."Uncle Jimmy, what's got you calling so late?" He asked as he answered."Hey, Paul! Listen, I'm already back in the States," Jimmy exclaimed, excited beside himself. "I'll be back in Oskia once I settle everything with my family!""But aren't you only supposed to return in two weeks?" Paul asked, perplexed. "Neither Mom nor Yolden will be reporting in so soon. Why would you be back so soon? You could spend more time with your family.""Well, see, the thing is, I talked with Nate," Jimmy quickly explained. "By tomorrow, I will be flying with the Ares LLC board members and partners for team building in Aurous Hill as well as meeting Mr.

After Paul conveyed Jimmy's plan to Charlie, he asked for Charlie's opinion.Charlie was actually surprised that Jimmy would bring Nate and his colleagues over so soon after he returned to the States, but he also knew very well what Jimmy had in mind.After all, Jimmy did not have much authority with Nate around. Even if he had the biggest stick in the form of Julien Rothschild, complications might still arise.As such, it was far more ideal to just bring Nate to Julien and let Julien personally execute him.For Charlie, it was Jimmy's friends who would have to travel halfway around the globe, anyway—he just had to wait in Aurous Hill and watch as everything unfolded.He told Paul then, "Let them come, and recommend Shangri-la to Jimmy and his friends. Once they hold their meeting there, Julian and I will head over and poach those ten partners Jimmy chose.""Very well, sir," Paul replied politely. "I'll relay your message to him."It was nighttime in the States, and Jimmy was ju

After that, Nate connected his laptop to the projector, having prepared a PowerPoint presentation to introduce and promote Ares LLP, making a meticulous effort intent on leaving a good impression on Julien.He even led everyone in memorizing the contents, not forgetting to remind them about how they should make themselves look good without getting caught.While they were busy working on their script, Julien arrived at Shangri-La by 2.40 pm. Charlie had already arranged for him to be taken to the VIP room while he and Paul would arrive ten minutes later.Once they were gathered, Charlie told Paul, "Call your uncle. Tell him that we're here and that he should come out to receive us.""Yes, Mr. Wade," Paul nodded respectfully and called Jimmy.Jimmy was immediately spirited upon hearing that both Julien and Mr. Wade had arrived, and he stopped Nate's presentation, saying, "Mr. Rothschild has arrived. Shall I bring him over now?""Sure, hurry up!" Nate said after some thought. "We

As Jimmy finished, he turned toward the confused partners and spoke loudly, "Everyone, there's something I have kept from you for a while—Nate Ellis here? He's a real bastard! He arranged so that I would fall for a typical legal pitfall, all so that he could keep the evidence and use it as leverage against me. I only found out recently myself!"Nate was left sweating bullets and put a hand on Jimmy's arm, pleading under his breath, "Look, man—if you think I don't pay you enough, just say it! I'll sweeten the pot even more! But if you insist on exposing me and toppling me, you won't get to enjoy the goodies!"Jimmy snorted in disdain. "So what if I did? I will expose you right here and now, and you'd still have to give me all the goodies over the next ten years!"Pointing at everyone seated, "That applies to every single partner of Ares LLP in this room. I'm sure each of you knows very well that you're keeping some dirty laundry, and I will now tell you that Nate has evidence of that

However, even if Nate allowed them to leave and had them keep it a secret, it would still cause terrible losses to his firm.After all, most of the evidence gathered on the partners was by handing off lawsuits to them in the first place. If the evidence ultimately proved pointless, that meant Nate's money was going down the drain.When that happened, he would lose both human resources and money while the central pillar of Ares LLP would disappear, leaving the roof collapsing on them.That was why he pleaded, "Please, Jimmy, we're all colleagues here, you can just tell me what you're dissatisfied with. There's no reason to ruin internal cohesion…"Even before Jimmy could speak, Eric immediately shouted, "Just tell us everything you know, Jimmy! If Nate really has dirt on everyone, we need to form a united front to stand against him! Otherwise, we are all screwed if he picks us off one by one!"Eric was just as furious as he was afraid. Even if Nate was despicable, he had indeed com
