Rachel quickly told her, "Did you forget? Your granduncle told you not to run your mouth, or to discuss any details with your parents."However, Rob shook his head, his face serious. "That's what he said, but my parents are more family to me than he is. He's like my grandfather's brother…"Rachel shook her head, her face grim. "If that's your mindset, you'll become no different from your grandfather—eventually reduced to a collateral branch. And you most certainly won't have a chance to inherit much of anything."Rob was taken aback. "What? Why?""Because you don't know how to pick a side!" Rachel snapped sternly. "Whether you become the main beneficiary of your parents' inheritance isn't up to your parents, but your grandfather. First, your own father needs to be appointed as heir from amongst his siblings. And even if he is chosen, you still have to compete against your own siblings. One misstep, and it's game over!"Rob's expression stiffened and he asked gingerly, "W-Well, wha
Chapter 7834
Unlike Beverly Hills or Bay Area's glamorous neighborhoods, the rich and the powerful of Miami dwelled on artificial islands lining the coastline. Such islands might not have bridges or roads, which meant the residents would move between home and the mainland by helicopter or yacht.And the Gettys reside in one of the most expensive islands where US property values peak, far beyond real estate in New York, Beverly Hills, or Hawaii.With their background in manufacturing industries, the Gettys were a sucker of appearances. Their mansion occupied a third of their island, even on an island composed of multiple mansions. The island itself was a mile from the coastline, and there was a villa by the beach that served as a transit point—residents usually parked their cars there and then headed to the island by helicopter or yacht.As Charlie arrived at the coastline and scouted the area, he decided that he would infiltrate the Gettys' island residence alone and wait for the Qing Eliminat
Chapter 7833
Rachel's parents' side of the family shared the same precarious position as Rob's family did in the Rothschilds, with the possibility of becoming a collateral family before long. Still, with Rachel and Rob's relationship going public, Rachel's parents were growing in position in the wider family, with even the chance of claiming leadership.Rachel's mother might be a Scholar, but she was only human and had her own mind on things too.She wasn't just hoping that her own lineage would rise in importance within the Qing Eliminating Society, while her husband would gain further influence within the family. Her own position would naturally elevate in turn, which gave them a bigger say in things.And if they accomplished enough, Rachel's children might even be spared from the life of a Scholar.That was why when she was informed that Rachel would be having dinner with Julien, she immediately notified the Left Military Governorate and the Gettys.Esteban Griffin—the Left Military Gover

Rachel really didn't expect Charlie to leave just like that, while her poor boyfriend was still in Oskiatown running errands for Julien.Her first thought was that it was hubris—as if Charlie clearly wasn't bothered that the Qing Eliminating Society could turn the tables on him.Still, she soon realized Charlie could afford to be arrogant when Julien was nothing more than Charlie's errand boy, let alone Rob, who was an insignificant Rothschild.For his part, Julien was used to Charlie's volatility, only asking, "You're really not staying for dinner? Rob's going to take a while, but we can get started without him."Charlie waved him off. "No, let's do this some other time. We'll be going to Harvard in a couple of days."Julien promptly smiled and nodded. "No problem. I'll be there."Charlie stood up and told him and Julien, "Take your time. Remember, Rachel—I need my window. You can leave when I reach Miami."Rachel naturally read Charlie's plan right away.The Left Military Go

Julien then returned to the private room, smiling at Charlie, "You were asking for me, sir?"Charlie nodded, beckoning for him to sit. "I need a favor.""Oh, there's no need to get so formal!" Julian quickly replied. "It's my honor to be of service!"At that point, Rachel was numb to Julien fawning all over Charlie and simply watched in silence.She also realized further that if she cooperated, Charlie would have Julien make it worthwhile for her family. Naturally, it didn't necessarily mean money, but importance in the Qing Eliminating Society so that life would get easier for her family.Charlie then told Julien, "I'd like a sudden, sharp inflation of international crude oil prices today, or the sooner the better."Julien didn't even flinch, instead merely asking, "By how much?""Ten percent, at least."Julien breathed a sigh of relief and grinned confidently, "Well, that's easy. We've been manipulating gas prices for a while now, and it's causing the wild fluctuations ever
Chapter 7830
After ordering food, Julien took his time returning to the private room.He knew perfectly well that even though he was Julien Rothschild—the heir apparent of the illustrious Rothschild family, he was still less than a lackey to Charlie. If anything, it was not Charlie wanting anything to do with his insignificant grandnephew, and there was more to this dinner than he thought. But since it was something private with Rob's girlfriend, Julien knew that the sensible thing to do here was to keep Rob out.Rob was still happily oblivious. Hence, seeing that Julien was still staying after making orders, asked, "Shouldn't we go back, granduncle?""Not yet," Julien beckoned. "Wait here. I need to take a call."Rob was puzzled, but didn't dare question Julien and only nodded.Julien stepped out of the kitchen to call Charlie, asking respectfully, "Mr. Wade? Can I bring Rob over now?""Wait," Charlie said. "You can come back, but send Rob on an errand or something for now."Julien nodd

Charlie enters the story 32points gone
I don't think the writer reads the comments at least that's what I read a while back. I agree this book has gone on and on and I've been at it for 2 years enough is enough I can't believe you guys are so stupid on and on so
Making mockery of us? Breaking a chapter into twenty small two or three page chapters.
Ops.. one chapter to read!!
so it's one chapter on Monday and then one on Friday will this ever end
how do we get more to read daily please
maybe you should change the name of this apps to worst novel, hahaha, no lo ger good novel.
Just give us something substantial, one chapter!!!!!!!!!!!! We should be getting way more than that. Do you even read these comments?? Come on, just get to the end already.
You actually took our credit for this??? This is ridiculous
Not even 3 pages with no meaningful content and it took you 24 hours! Ridiculous
Just stop. At this point, just end the damn book and start a new one. This is like a dying soap opera that the current writers don't have any idea of the character structure that has already been established.
