When Helen saw that Lady Acker seemed to be in low spirits, she comforted her somewhat apologetically, “Lady Acker, I just moved in here not long ago. I don’t know if Charlie has been here for so many years before I moved in, so you don’t have to be so pessimistic and worry too much.”Lady Acker nodded slightly and sighed as she said, “I have no doubts that Charlie is still alive, but I can find too few clues related to Charlie now. If any one of these clues are broken, it would mean that there will be one less clue…”Helen smiled and said, “Lady Acker, perhaps it’s just not the right time for you to be reunited with him now. When the time is right, I believe he will come to meet you even if he is far away.”Lady Acker smiled wryly and said, “I believe what you’ve said. I’m just afraid that I will not be able to wait for that day when I’m already at this age.”Helen could not help but feel a little distressed when she saw the old lady was so melancholy. Aurous Hill was definitely

Everyone stood up from their futons and bowed to Caden to express their gratitude before they walked out while relaxing their muscles.Nanako was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she asked Aurora excitedly, “Aurora, have you mastered the secret of endoscopic ability?”Aurora scratched her head and said, “It seems like it, but it doesn’t seem like it either… It feels like the bottom of a particularly deep pond. When I try to dive down, I can’t go any further every time when I feel that I’m almost at the bottom. It’s really annoying…”After saying that, she asked Nanako, “Nanako, you look so excited. Have you already mastered it?!”Nanako nodded heavily and exclaimed in a low voice, “I seem to have mastered the secret of endoscopic ability. It’s just like the diving that you mentioned. I always could not dive further down in the beginning, and I felt that the closer I was to the bottom of the pond, the greater the repulsive force of the water. There seems to be forces pushing me tow

Caden praised and affirmed Nanako’s talent, but Nanako was extremely humble. After bowing deeply, she said calmly, “Thank you for your compliment, Master Howton. I’m just like an elementary school student who has just started compared to you, so I dare not say that I’m a martial arts genius. I should work harder since I’ve just discovered my endoscopic ability.”Caden complimented her and said, “In addition to talent, a good martial arts methodology is the second element of martial arts practice, and not being arrogant or impetuous is the third element of martial arts practice. Miss Ito, your future will certainly be unlimited since you have all three of these elements!”Nanako bowed again and said, “Thank you for your affirmation, Master Howton. I’ll certainly do my best!”Caden nodded and said with a smile, “The lunch break is short, so you should go and eat quickly. We will continue our lessons in the afternoon.”Nanako smiled, then shook her head and said, “I won’t be taking a

Charlie asked her: ‘Why do you want to thank me?’Nanako said: ‘You’ve helped me so much and even arranged for me to learn martial arts here. Isn’t it right for me to treat you to a meal now that I’ve finally entered the path of martial arts? Just think of it as a thank-you meal. Charlie-kun, I wonder if you’ll do me the honor?’Charlie thought for a moment and replied readily: ‘No problem. Just tell me the time, and I’ll be there on time.’Nanako replied: ‘Master Howton’s classes end at half past six in the evening every day. Let’s meet up a little later. What about 8:00 PM?’Charlie replied: ‘No problem. You should practice hard, then. I’ll see you at night.’Nanako was elated and hurriedly replied: ‘See you tonight!’Charlie knew that Nanako was eager to practice, so he did not plan to go in and bother Nanako. He replied directly: ‘In that case, you should go and practice well first. We will talk more when we meet later at night.’Nanako replied: ‘Okay!’ She then turned on th

Meanwhile, at Scarlet Pinnacle Manor. Vera was standing in front of the desk, looking at the landscape painting in front of her that was already completed. The winding mountains stood tall in the painting, and there seemed to be ripples in the water in the lake, which was extremely beautiful. Vera stretched out her slender fingers and touched the thickest part of the painting like a dragonfly splashing on water. After determining that there was no sticky feeling, she looked at her clean fingertip again and saw that there was no ink stain there. Thus, she was certain that the painting was already completely dry.She then used the scroll that she had prepared to carefully mount the painting into a golden scroll. After the mounting was completed and rolled into a scroll, Vera sealed the scroll with a silk ribbon. Mr. Raven’s voice sounded outside the door as he said, “Miss, can I come in?”Vera said loudly, “Come in.”Mr. Raven, who was already slightly hunched, staggered in. W

Mr. Raven bowed and left. Vera then held up the scroll with both hands and walked slowly to the long desk. The memorial tablet that Vera had always carried with her was placed on the long table. The characters ‘Elijah Lavor, Father’ were inscribed on the memorial tablet. Vera knelt down in front of the memorial tablet slowly, then carefully placed the scroll aside. She then clasped her hands together, looked at the memorial tablet, and said respectfully, “Dad, if I’m lucky, I’ll be able to meet again with my benefactor, Charlie Wade, tomorrow. When I appear in front of him, his vigilance will definitely be aroused. I don’t know if I will be able to gain his trust, but I hope that you will give me your blessings so I can gain his trust…”As Vera spoke of this, she had a complicated expression for a moment before she reached out and touched the scroll on the ground as she said softly, “If… If Charlie can’t trust me and treats me as his enemy, I… I may be left with no choice but to tel

Nanako was about to bow and thank Emi when she suddenly heard the doorbell ring. She quickly said, “Charlie-kun must be downstairs. I’ll go and pick him up!”Emi nodded and said with a smile, “Go ahead.”All the apartments at Thompson First had elevators for entry. One would not be able to take the elevator without a physical access card. When Charlie came to visit them, he could only ring the doorbell of the unit at the entrance of the door in the underground parking lot. After the access to the door was unlocked from upstairs, he could then enter the elevator and press the button for the designated floor. Nanako only needed to open the door for Charlie from upstairs, but she still said to Charlie through the access control system, “Please wait a moment, Charlie-kun. I will come down and pick you up.”In Nanako’s traditional Japanese concept, if she allowed the man she loved to take the elevator upstairs himself, it would be equivalent to a wife who did not kneel at the door to

Yahiko was actually a full-fledged martial artist when he was young. He was one of those men who were deeply influenced by Bruce Lee in the 1970s and 1980s.Nanako had become obsessed with martial arts since she was a child under his influence. Yahiko had always been willing to invest in his daughter’s hobby. Therefore, he had invited the best karate masters as well as combat and fighting masters in Japan to come and teach Nanako.Nanako showed extraordinary talents in the process of learning these foreign combat skills. When Nanako was fifteen years old, these famous masters in Japan had already taught her everything that they had learned throughout their lives. Yahiko had hoped to find an opportunity for Nanako to learn martial arts at the time.In Japan, the only two things related to martial arts were ninjutsu and swordsmanship.After all, ninjutsu was rather wretched and not suitable for a lady like Nanako. On the other hand, swordsmanship emphasized the extraordinary stat

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
