“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! Furthermore

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

‘Could it be that she really does not want me to appear at her concert that badly?!’When Charlie heard Quinn’s request, he said with slight embarrassment, “Nana, I forgot to tell you just now that Tom Zielinski is right in front of me.”As he said that, he switched to the rear camera on his phone as he pointed the camera at Tom, who was kneeling on the ground.Quinn was indeed a little surprised for a moment when she saw Tom. After that, she then said, “Tom, since you’re here, I’ll not beat around the bush. I specially prepared my concert in Aurous Hill for Brother Charlie! Moreover, the day of my concert is also Brother Charlie’s birthday! I do not want any flaws in my concert, so I cannot accept your appearance at my concert! Before this, you used all kinds of connections, and it was very difficult for me to make things clear to you. Since everything is already out in the open now, I’ll not continue hiding the truth anymore. I’m sorry, then.”Tom instantly broke down emotionally

Carmen, who was far away in Eastcliff, had been silent all this while as she listened to the conversation over the phone. The more she listened, the more she felt sorry for Tom.Carmen also could not understand why Tom would end up being such a failure. After all, everything he had done was because he had wanted to pursue Quinn, but in the end, Quinn actually despised him to this extent.It would be fine if Quinn were to simply despise him, but since Tom had offended Charlie because of Quinn, the losses really outweighed the gains.At this time, Carmen also did not know how she should explain things to Zacheus. He was still waiting for her to save his son, but his son had actually been detained directly by her own nephew, and Zacheus would have to wait for at least three years before he would be able to see his son again.Just as Carmen was feeling extremely worried and frustrated over this matter, she suddenly received a prompt on her cell phone. It was an incoming phone call from

If Charlie really did get Jimmy to stay, who knew what other rubbish Jimmy would spout.As for Jimmy, he was actually surprised Charlie was asking him to stay, and his instincts told him that Charlie definitely didn't mean well.Not only that, he was on foreign soil—wouldn't he be defenseless if Charlie called in his friends to beat him up?Hence, he shook his head without hesitation as he said, "I'm sorry, but my sister-in-law is quite keen for me to leave, so I have no reason to stay and add to her problems. And it is her big day. I can afford to let her save face instead of spilling the beans on her all at once.""Oh, but you were complaining about the lack of important people just now!" Charlie quickly interjected. "It just so happens that we have a big-shot on his way here, and he's a good friend of the groom. When I told him about you over the phone, he said to keep you here no matter what it took, since he would like to talk to you face to face."Jimmy frowned. "What, are y

And with those words, Jimmy turned to leave.Despite threatening Matilda, there was no such agreement, and he knew that Matilda was well aware of that.Regardless, the only strategy he had in mind when he came to Oskia was harassment. As such, he simply came up with a lie to make Matilda look bad in public. All it took from there was just for one person to relay what he had said—even if it were all lies, Matilda's character would still be called into question.He made himself very clear so that Matilda would understand that if she didn't give in, his family would keep hounding her to take their two pounds of flesh. Even if she wouldn't surrender the stateside estates and human resources of Smith Group Corporate Law, they would still claim a sizable chunk.But if that failed too, they would just have to destroy Matilda's reputation along with Smith Group Corporate Law.Either way, they were not letting her off easy!And reading that much from Jimmy's behavior, Matilda snapped co
Chapter 6603
Jimmy didn't expect Matilda to break down the share ownership of Smith Group Corporate Law to such detail, and he hollered as he was starting to feel embarrassed, "Now, you're just being irresponsible, Matilda. My father gave my brother a million to start the law firm in the first place, and they had agreed that the family would have a stake, albeit only at 49%, to not deny your decision-making as a startup. Or are you denying it?"Matilda immediately became furious and snapped, "Bullshit! That was just a loan of one million, and the agreed term was three years. However, your brother returned it in one! I even asked him to return the money with every single one of his siblings watching, since you might all get skeptical, yet suddenly, you're calling it an investment?""You said he's returned it? Well, what proof do you have?" Jimmy quickly shot back. "Our entire family can testify that the money hasn't come back to us!""So, this is how you're going to play it?" Matilda smirked. "Th
Chapter 6602
In the first place, Jimmy had come to Oskia to claim a stake in Smith Group Corporate Law, ideally strong-arming Paul and Matilda into splitting the firm in two, with Jimmy taking everything in the States while Paul kept what was left.The way Jimmy saw it, Paul and Matilda were going to be permanently residing in Oskia anyway. There was no way they could manage things over in another country properly, so it was basically returning the firm to the rightful owner.Naturally, Jimmy also knew that despite bearing the Smith family name, the success of Smith Group Corporate Law was all the work of Jimmy's brother and Matilda. Jimmy's father had helped to a certain extent, but that extent of financial support wouldn't amount to an investment at all. No judge in the world would support his claim to the law firm's shares.Therefore, when he learned that Matilda was remarrying, he thought he could seize the moment to cause a scene. Nothing could be better if she and Paul decided to sacrifice

Jimmy deliberately raised his voice as he said coolly, "Oh, but I didn't want to intervene. It's you and your mother who left the States in a split second, taking with you the law firm which bears the Smith family name. Don't you think such behavior is inappropriate?"Seeing the surprised reactions of the guests, Paul promptly retorted, "The law firm uses the Smith family name, but it is my parents' legacy! They worked blood and sweat to build it from the ground up, and as their only son, I have a veto when it comes to decisions. Or did we need your permission to move to Oskia?""Where's your conscience, Paul?" Jimmy pursed his lips. "Even if you don't know how Smith Group Corporate Law was founded, is that the case for you? It would have been a joke if it weren't for my father's connections!"Hell, it's no exaggeration that it was my father who fought to expand the law firm across America, and just using the family name means you're borrowing the family's influence. The family hono

The blonde man's voice drew everyone's attention in an instant.Despite his foreign appearance, he spoke Oskian fluently and walked with a haughty gait, almost as though he was above the rest.Paul's expression turned grim the instant he saw him, and he hurried over with Charlie.Still, before Paul could speak, Charlie stopped him, frowning at the man as he said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate to come slinging personal attacks at someone else's wedding?"The man clearly didn't know Charlie, and he wasn't worried, seeing that he was young.Snorting in disdain, he asked, "You must be from the groom's family, yes? Please tell him that he doesn't deserve my sister-in-law.""It's up to the happy couple to decide that," Charlie retorted quietly. "Deserving someone is no issue as long as they both love each other."The man pursed his lips and looked pointedly around him. "Just look at how simple this wedding is. Forget picking an unassuming city like Aurous Hill—is there a single

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d
