Chapter 2973
Author: Lord Leaf
Ever since Carmen had left Aurous Hill, she would immediately feel goosebumps all over her body as soon as she heard the words ‘Aurous Hill’.

She had always regarded Aurous Hill as the Waterloo of her life, and it might even be the Waterloo in her life that she would never be able to make a comeback from. It had already long become a traumatic experience that was like a black hole haunting her psychologically.

Zacheus could hear that Carmen’s voice was not quite natural, and he hurriedly asked, “Carmen, what’s wrong with Aurous Hill? Is there a problem?”

Carmen subconsciously asked, “You said that Tom has been kidnapped and taken to Shangri-La?”

“That’s right!” Zacheus hurriedly said, “The feedback that we received was that Tom had been taken to Shangri-La. I do not know whether the Wade family has anything to do with this matter, but isn’t Shangri-La an industry that is owned by the Wade family? So, that is the reason why I wanted to look for you so that I can get your help to hel

    Carmen had always wholeheartedly been trying to please Lord Wade, and since Lord Wade did not want her to get a divorce, she did not mention this matter to him again.However, since their relationship had broken down, Carmen and her husband had been separated. The both of them rarely met one another, and they were basically strangers although their relationship as husband and wife still existed.As for Carmen and Zacheus, both of them were originally just old classmates, and they did not have any inappropriate relationship between the both of them at the very beginning.However, at a class reunion a few years ago, Carmen had drunk a little wine, and when everyone had begun talking about their current situation, she had begun complaining and telling her classmates that her relationship with her husband had broken down and that the both of them were already separated. However, she could not get divorced because of her father’s request. Zacheus, who had already been long widowed, const

    It was because Carmen had genuine feelings for Zacheus that she decided to call Isaac even though she was obviously very afraid of Charlie. Coincidentally, Tom had just gotten his cell phone back at this time. After Charlie handed his cell phone over to him, he threatened Tom in a cold voice, “Remember, you’re only allowed to call Carmen Wade. I’ll break your hand if you dare to call a second person!”Tom felt very indignant in his heart, but he did not dare to be pretentious in front of Charlie.So, he could only nod honestly and say, “Don’t worry. I’ll call Aunt Wade now!”Charlie smiled and said, “Don’t forget to turn on the speaker!”Tom nodded resentfully. When his cell phone screen lit up, he immediately realized that there were multiple app push notifications on his cell phone.Moreover, the topic of all these push notifications was all related to himself!Some of them were ‘Tom Zielinski made a mistake once again when buying fans.

    “Moreover… Moreover, not only did they humiliate me, but they… They even hit me!”“Right now, my… My face is already swollen… after getting hit by them…”“But in a few days… I’ll have to attend Quinn’s concert as her… as her special guest…”“Face… If my face is so swollen, when the time comes… How could I possibly meet people like that?”“I… I cannot possibly… I cannot possibly be wearing a face mask… and impersonate a masked singer, right?”Carmen felt very powerless when she heard Tom crying so miserably over the other end of the line.She sighed before she spoke up and asked, “Tom… how did you offend Charlie?”Tom cried as he said, “I… I simply argued with him over the phone. I would not have expected that I’d get caught by his men as soon as I got off the plane…”Carmen was extremely helpless as he said, “Tom, I’d have been able to help you resolve anything regardless of who you offended in Aurous Hill, but if the person you have offended is Charlie, there is nothing I can

    Tom was completely dumbfounded when he heard this.He thought to himself, ‘Is this something that a f*cking person should be saying?! How can there be such a thing?! This b*tch is deliberately protecting her own family. She knew that I had offended her own nephew, and that is the reason why she is deliberately refusing to help to intercede on my behalf?!’Just as Tom was feeling extremely angry, Carmen said apologetically, “Tom, I’m really not lying to you. If I were to speak up, I might only be aggravating Charlie’s punishment for you instead of alleviating it…”When Tom heard the sincerity in Carmen’s tone, he could not help but feel even more puzzled as he blurted out and asked, “This… What do you mean by this, Aunt Wade? I… I cannot figure it out at all… Aren’t you, his aunt?! Wouldn’t he be willing to show you some respect at least?”Carmen laughed in a self-deprecating manner as she said, “Haha… Charlie showing me respect? His subordinates even dare to beat me up!

    She could not help but criticize him in her heart, ‘If you did not plan on letting Tom go, you could simply have said that you cannot forgive him and that it’d be useless for anyone to beg for mercy, right?’‘But you just had to force me to admit that I did not come to plead for mercy on Tom’s behalf in front of Tom. Aren’t you setting me up for injustice? Perhaps I might be his stepmother in the future! If I were to fall for your trap because of this matter, wouldn’t this child hold a feud against me in the future, then?’So, Carmen could only bite the bullet as she pleaded, “Charlie, this kid, Tom, is actually quite a good person. He is simply a little too bad-tempered at times. I hope that you will be willing to forgive him and let him off this once on my account.”Charlie smiled as he spoke, word for word, “I’m sorry, Aunt, but you really do not deserve such great respect!”As he spoke, Charlie’s voice became cold and stern as he said, “If you did not come to Aurous Hill and ac

    Tom began quivering as soon as he heard that Charlie was going to break his legs and make him crawl all the way back to Eastcliff.He had already been in Eastcliff’s circle of rich heirs for more than twenty years, and based on his understanding of this circle, although the people in this circle were all arrogant, domineering, and ruthless, they would basically only be acted that way toward people who were outside this circle. Most of them would hold back and restrain themselves when it came to people from the same circle.Take Tom himself for instance. He had also bullied many people throughout so many years, and he had broken other people’s legs more than once. However, that was when he was targeting people with backgrounds that were far more inferior as compared to him. If it was someone who was in the same circle as him, he would certainly have to show the other party some respect.After all, all of them were rich and powerful, and they would have to be interacting with one anot

    Carmen’s words instantly woke Tom up.Carmen was right. Even if he was still hoping that he would still have the opportunity for any mediation, he should seize the best condition that he had right now first. Otherwise, two years would end up becoming three years, and if he had no choice but to accept it, that would be equivalent to him losing another year in vain!As he thought about this, Tom hurriedly said to Charlie, “I choose the first option!”Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, “Unfortunately, one minute has already passed. The first option now is for you to go to sea and become a seaman for three years. You’re not allowed to get off the ship during these three years.”Tom’s legs suddenly went weak as he cried and said, “Charlie, I beg you not to toy around with me anymore. I chose the first option. Isn’t it okay if it’s two years?”Charlie said helplessly, “Sorry, but the rules of the game cannot be broken. The first option is now three years. I’ll give you another minute

    Tom recognized Quinn’s voice instantly.At this moment, he was completely stunned as though he had just been struck by lightning, and his entire body was frozen in place as he was unable to move.He really did not know that Charlie even knew Quinn.After all, he had never heard of the marriage contract between Quinn and Charlie when they were young.At this time, Charlie looked at Quinn, who was in the video, as he smiled and asked, “Why do you think that I’m the mastermind behind this matter?”Quinn smiled broadly as she said, “Although Tom Zielinski is indeed quite stupid, I think he should not be so stupid to that extent. Besides, Brother Charlie, I think you’re the only person that would be able to pull off such an evil prank. Anyone else would never have been able to think of such a damaging prank!”When Tom heard this, he instantly felt very sad, and he could not help but wail in his heart, ‘Am I really just a fool in Quinn’s mind?!’At this time, Charlie simply smiled cal

    Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h

    Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des

    As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside

    Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e

    Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott

    Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his

    Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use

    Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.

    Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
