Charlie hummed in response and said, “Oh, by the way, you can seize the opportunity to reveal some news to him when the time comes.”Jasmine hurriedly asked, “What news?”Charlie smiled faintly and said, “Just tell him that I asked you to pass a message to him, telling them that the incident in New York was just a trivial matter, so they don’t have to take it to heart.”Jasmine did not know what had happened in New York, but she did not ask any more questions after hearing what Charlie had said and simply responded respectfully, “Okay, Master Wade. I will convey this message to them in due course when I meet your uncle.”Charlie reminded her, “Remember to mention it before he makes the condition. It’d be best if you conveyed this message to him when he asks you for information about me. I’m certain that no matter what the conditions he had prepared for you are, he will definitely double it after you say this!”Charlie was well aware of his uncle’s motive for wanting to pay Jasmine

When Christian saw Jasmine, he smiled humbly and said, “Hello, Miss Jasmine, nice to meet you again. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to meet me.”Jasmine said with a smile, “You’re welcome.”After saying that, Jasmine invited Christian to sit down in the sofa area. She then sat across from him and asked curiously, “Mr. Christian, I wonder why you’re here to see me this time?”Christian hurriedly said, “Miss Jasmine, I’ve always felt embarrassed because I acted rashly and broke the rules of the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill last time. I came here today to specifically express my gratitude and to also apologize to both you and the owner of the Rejuvenating Pill.”Jasmine smiled and said, “Mr. Christian, you didn’t have to come all the way here to apologize. The auction house already responded and dealt with your behavior during the incident back then, and you’ve already paid the corresponding price for your action. Thus, there’s no need for you to apologize ag

Christian suddenly fell silent. He knew that he could not decide whether he believed it or not as he would not have any way to ask for proof either way.He could only explain in an extremely sincere tone in desperation, “Miss Jasmine, the Ackers suffered a mishap some time ago. Fortunately, a mysterious man came to help us at the most critical moment. This mysterious man even saved a friend of mine who was dying. I came here this time to verify whether our benefactor and the gentleman that you mentioned are the same person.”With that said, he had a pleading expression as he said, “Miss Jasmine, you must have a way to contact the gentleman. I don’t ask that you give me his contact information, but I hope that you can help me verify this matter with him…”Jasmine smiled faintly and nodded lightly. She then looked at Christian and said in a calm voice, “Mr. Christian, you are talking about the time when the Ackers and Chief Lammy were in danger in New York and were rescued, right?”C

Jasmine said, “Please speak up, Mr. Christian.”Christian said, “I have a nephew who has been missing for twenty years now. His name is Charlie Wade, and he’s twenty-eight years old this year. He is the only son of my sister, Ashley, and my brother-in-law, Curtis. The Ackers have been searching all over the world for him for twenty years, but we have always been unable to find him. Since our benefactor is so powerful, please ask him to help us find Charlie’s whereabouts on the account that my parents are already old and are eager to see their grandson. Once we find Charlie, the Ackers will definitely give half of our family’s assets to him!”Jasmine was stunned when she heard this. She did not expect that the Ackers would be willing to give up half of their family assets in order to find Charlie. However, Christian and the Ackers were not making empty promises. Before Christian had gone over, the Ackers had held a family meeting to discuss this matter. Judging from the situation of

It was not surprising that commercial real estate projects worth billions of dollars would leave Jasmine in shock, as a project on such a large-scale was rare even globally. The total cost of Burj Khalifa in Dubai was only one and a half billion US dollars. It seemed that the only building with an overall cost exceeding five billion US dollars was Apple’s headquarters building.For the Ackers, although its overall strength was not as good as the Rothschild or the Saudi royal family, the Ackers’ real assets were still slightly better than Apple. Spending eight billion US dollars to invest in commercial real estate in Aurous Hill was enough to build a huge small city. Even if the Ackers were to move their entire headquarters here, it would not cost so much money.However, before Christian came here, the Ackers had already reached a consensus. Jasmine had a close relationship with the owner of the Rejuvenating Pill. Since Christian was here to see her, he naturally had to show enoug

Christian said with a smile, “Although Aurous Hill is still just a new first-tier city, I’m very optimistic about Aurous Hill’s future development. Perhaps this place might become the focus of the world in the future.”Jasmine asked doubtfully, “Why are you so optimistic about Aurous Hill, Mr. Christian?”Christian said seriously, “Miss Jasmine, although you’ve only held the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill once, it made me realize the appeal of this divine pill to the super wealthy. Every city is looking for its own characteristics and positioning nowadays. Take the United States for example, New York is characterized by finance, San Francisco is characterized by technology, Los Angeles is characterized by manufacturing, Houston is characterized by aerospace, and Detroit is characterized by automobiles manufacturing.”With that said, Christian said with confidence, “With the support of the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill, Aurous Hill will definitely be able to attract more top i

“Furthermore, I’ve also heard of The Apothecary Pharmaceutical that is in Aurous Hill. Although this company has developed a small number of samples, they are all shocking products with excellent medicinal effects. With this pharmaceutical company in Aurous Hill, its popularity in the medicine and healthcare industry will definitely be of great help in the future.”Jasmine did not expect that Christian would have noticed The Apothecary Pharmaceutical as well, so she could not help but feel a little surprised as she asked Christian, “Mr. Christian, you know about The Apothecary Pharmaceutical as well?”Christian nodded without hiding anything and said directly, “I heard that The Apothecary Pharmaceutical previously launched an anti-cancer miracle drug called the Apothecary Restoration Pill. A batch of the drugs were given to the FDA for clinical trials. It is said that the batch of pills have been regarded as strategic reserve materials by the White House because of its excellent effi

Under normal circumstances, it was difficult for others to get a chance to have a share in any of the projects undertaken by the Ackers even if they rushed to buy the shares with money. Moreover, even if some of the Ackers’ projects were open to external investment, not everyone could get the investment share. The Ackers had always been strict in selecting its business partners, and one would not be able to invest even if one had money, as long as the person’s assets did not meet the threshold requirements. What’s more, if outsiders wanted to invest in the Ackers’ projects, it was equivalent to investing in a wealth management fund. Even if they got the opportunity, they would have to pay a certain percentage of management fee to the Ackers, who was the trader, and this management fee had to reach at least twenty-five percent. If it was a project that was worth ten billion US dollars and the Ackers offered a forty percent quota, it seemed that each percentage point corresponded t

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

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

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
