Merlin packed some simple clothing and supplies in the afternoon in the United States and took off from Houston to New York in the Gulfstream business jet arranged by the Acker. Christian arranged a flight for Merlin from New York to Aurous Hill at night. After Merlin landed in New York, he could transfer directly to the Ackers’ passenger plane to Aurous Hill.Although only Keith, Holly, and Christian from the Ackers would be going to Aurous Hill this time, they were accompanied by many maids, assistants, servants, and nearly a hundred well-trained bodyguards. Therefore, Christian arranged for a private jet modified from a Boeing 748. This large wide-body passenger aircraft was divided into two levels. The upper level had a small living room with two rooms, and the lower level had more than a hundred standard business class seats as well as a resting room for shift crews.When Merlin landed in New York, the Ackers and their entourage had just completed boarding at the exclusive h

Lady Acker said, “Charlie is already twenty-eight this year. We might even have a grandson after finding him.”Keith was stunned, then nodded before he looked out the window blankly without saying another word. Merlin asked Lady Acker in a low voice, “Aunt Holly, did Uncle Keith’s condition get even more serious?”Lady Acker nodded and said, “His condition seems to be a little worse than it was before. I spend more than half the time when I’m awake explaining the situation to him over and over again, but he seems to forget all about it most of the time after turning around.”After saying that, Lady Acker added, “The reason why I’m in such a hurry to go to Aurous Hill is also because of this. I’m afraid that if I delay it any longer, Keith will not be able to remember him even if we meet Charlie.”Merlin sighed and thought to himself, ‘Sigh… Charlie has divine powers that can even save me, so it would definitely be easy for him to cure the old man’s Alzheimer’s disease. Even if he

“There is also the kind of person with great foresight. After his parents were killed, he knows that his situation is not safe, so he might choose to stay in this place by adhering to the logic that the most dangerous place is the safest.”Having said that, Merlin added, “Oh, by the way, there is another possibility, and that is there are other people making arrangements for him behind the scenes. Under this kind of circumstance, it’s not up to him to make any decisions, then.”Lady Acker was silent for a moment, then asked, “You must have encountered similar cases, right? In the cases you handled, if the child’s family was killed and the child’s whereabouts are unknown, where would the child most likely be, in the end?”Merlin thought for a moment and said truthfully, “Aunt Holly, to be honest, I’ve handed many such similar cases. Most of the surviving children would contact their other relatives, such as their grandparents, uncles, or aunts after hiding for a period of time. They

The private jet that was modified from a Boeing 748 took off from JFK Airport at 9:00 PM local time in New York and headed to Aurous Hill, Oskia, which was ten thousand kilometers away. After a twelve-hour flight, the Ackers’ plane landed smoothly at Aurous Airport at 9:00 PM local time. The staff who had arrived in Aurous Hill in advance arranged a convoy to pick the elderly couple, Christian, Merlin, and the others back to Willow Manor.It was already late at night when the convoy arrived at Willow Manor. Willow Manor was particularly peaceful and comfortable, and the Ackers’ butler took the four of them directly to the villa in the center. The four of them were somewhat exhausted after travelling for more than ten hours. Therefore, they went back to their rooms to rest after the rooms were assigned. The villas in Willow Manor were very large in size with three levels above ground and a basement with a usable area of at least eight to nine hundred square meters. As the area

No one could imagine that after so many years with so many people searching the ground in Aurous Hill, Charlie would still be in this city. Twenty years later, Charlie’s grandparents and uncle were here again. Charlie knew from Merlin and Quinn’s descriptions that his grandparents had never given up looking for him for so many years. Charlie wanted to be reunited with his grandparents and the Ackers as well so that the two elderly people would no longer worry and blame themselves for his unknown fate. However, he could only suppress this thought temporarily when he thought of how the Qing Eliminating Society was still refusing to let his grandparents and the Ackers off. Since his grandparents had already arrived in Aurous Hill and probably planned to live here for a long time, judging from their attitude, Charlie would have to live right under their noses for quite some time. Under such circumstances, it would not be easy to ensure that his identity was not revealed.However, he

Lady Acker had gotten accustomed to having to explain her husband’s condition to him when they woke up every morning before letting him know the current time and telling him what had happened recently or even yesterday’s events. This was mainly because Keith’s memory had deteriorated so severely that he could no longer remember what had happened over the past ten years. He would definitely forget what happened every day the very next day.However, based on their conversation just now, it seemed as if Keith could remember the tiring journey yesterday and the blurry scene he had seen under the moonlight when they came to Willow Manor by car. Lady Acker was truly amazed. Keith was a little surprised. He touched his forehead and asked her, “Is it very strange for me to remember what happened yesterday?”Lady Acker was filled with joy as she said, “It has been a long time since you remembered what happened the day before after waking up the next day.”With that said, Lady Acker asked

The maids had prepared a sumptuous breakfast in the huge dining room on the first floor. Christian and Merlin were extremely energetic as they sat at the dining table to devour this exquisite breakfast that was filled with a variety of dishes. The elderly couple was not the only ones who felt that they had a particularly good sleep last night, but Christian and Merlin also felt the same way.The two of them felt as if they had returned to their careless and energetic age when they were seventeen or eighteen years old. They could fall asleep immediately as soon as they lay on the bed after using up all their energy during the day.When they saw the elderly couple arriving, they quickly stood up and greeted them. Christian asked with concern, “Mom, Dad, did the two of you have a good sleep last night?”Lady Acker said excitedly, “We slept very soundly. I have good news for you. Your father actually remembers what happened yesterday!”“Is that so?!” Christian was so shocked that he

Merlin exclaimed in awe when he heard Lady Acker’s words, “Aunt Holly, that is a great idea!”After saying that, he immediately took out his cell phone, turned on the video recording function, and said, “We will take turns recording Uncle Keith. Christian, please arrange for someone to buy a few action cameras that can be worn on a person to record non-stop. When Uncle Keith rests in the evening, you can ask people to import all the materials into the computer so we can review the videos together in the morning tomorrow!”Christian was very excited as well and said without hesitation, “Okay! I’ll make the arrangements now!”Lady Acker added, “I think the environment here is indeed very good. Keith, let’s have some breakfast quickly, and I’ll take you out to the lake for a walk after that. Perhaps there will be better results!”When Merline heard this, he hurriedly said, “Aunt Holly, I have a different opinion on this point. I think you and Uncle Keith should stay in this villa inst

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
Chapter 6607
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

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
Chapter 6604
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
Chapter 6601
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
