Pausing, Nate then added, "A lawyer always needs five to ten years to accumulate experience. If they do well, we will promote them and increase their salary or induct them as a partner if they're outstanding."You know how things work for partners in law firms—shares and increments. A partner is always paid better and allocated shares that will be redeemable in five to ten years, and they will eventually reach executive levels. All in all, the system is aimed at keeping partners in the firm to bring us further value."Jimmy held out a hand, stopping him. "That's common knowledge. What I mainly want to know is how you set them up and what dirt you have on them.""Oh, well…" Nate paused awkwardly, but he eventually sighed and said, "Once a partner has been promoted, we need two-fold insurance. After all, if they are highly skilled, they would eventually grow their own clientele and develop an appetite, which in turn means they would be demanding more shares or demanding a seat on the

The board members of Ares LLC had all been waiting in the conference room, all of them aware that Jimmy was now friends with the Rothschilds and therefore afraid to appear insulting. Whether they resided in New York or elsewhere, they traveled over early on and waited.It was as if they were just some third-rate noble family in a feudal kingdom—they would never have a chance to even meet the royal family until a daughter was taken in as a consort. With one of theirs finally skyrocketing in importance, the rest of the family was hoping the daughter could rise all the way and become queen, bringing riches and prestige to the rest of them.Naturally, Nate planned to do the same.Placating Jimmy was one thing, but it was not particularly important—what mattered was how to get him to contribute further for Ares LLC after the fact.As Nate and Jimmy entered the room to meet the board members, it thundered with applause as everyone's eyes glowed as they watched Jimmy.The meaning was c

"Alright!" Nate grinned. "My car's right outside. Let's go!"They left the airport and got in Nate's Bentley, and Nate drove him straight to the Ares LLC Manhattan office.Along the way, Nate sighed remorsefully. "Look, Jimmy—I really regret what I did yesterday. We've been working alongside each other for years, and I truly approve of you. If the Rothschild's butler hadn't pressured me, I wouldn't even think of abandoning you. I hope you understand."Jimmy didn't answer and instead asked, "You said over the phone that you keep dirt on every partner. What dirt, specifically?"Nate rubbed his nose in slight embarrassment. "More or less the same stuff as you did. We keep an eye out for easy, high-profile jobs, and then get a proxy who would convince the client to get the partner to work the case in private. It would spare the client some fees, and they'd be keen since it's easy. "Most partners wouldn't be able to turn down such an offer. So, when they work on the case, I ask those

Hence, after twelve hours, Jimmy Smith was still livid as his flight landed at Kennedy Airport while Nate Ares waited eagerly to receive him. Jimmy never slept throughout his journey as he was contemplating endlessly on how he could destroy his boss.Ares LLC's yearly net profit was around five hundred million dollars, and being the founder and major shareholder, Nate Ellis made at least 150 million per year.As for the top ten partners, Jimmy calculated that their yearly salary, bonuses, and commissions would also range around a hundred million altogether. Even though they were paid 20% out of the firm's profits, the value they brought to the firm had to be 80%, if not higher.Still, now that Jimmy had an understanding with Julien, he would be banking on the man's influence to poach those ten partners from the firm. Once they were out of Ares LLC, the firm's yearly profits would at least go down by half.Worst of all, Ares LLC would still be paying their salaries even if they ce

Jimmy was only left with seething hatred toward Nate.So, hearing that Nate would pick him up at the airport, he quickly replied, "Sure—I have things to discuss with you too, chief. I'll send you my flight details later.""Of course, of course," Nate replied eagerly. "Send it to me whenever. I'll see you soon!"After Jimmy hung up and returned Julien's phone, Nate was left pacing around in his room, muttering to himself, "Shit. This is bad… Jimmy's definitely not going to let this rest…."Surprised, his wife asked, "What's going on here? Didn't you just fire Jimmy? Why are you letting him on board and picking him up at the airport on top of that?""Oh, don't even start," Nate sighed grumpily. "Julien Rothschild, the heir apparent of the Rothschild family, just called me personally to say that he had a mere misunderstanding with Jimmy… Honestly, what the hell is with that?! "I thought I was doing them a favor, sending the dirt I had on Jimmy to the feds so that he'd go to prison.

Julien then remembered with a start. "I'll have my butler call him right now… Wait, no. I'll do it myself."After getting Nate's number from his butler, he then had his butler call Nate first to inform the latter that he would soon be calling personally.Just hearing from the butler that the Rothschilds' heir apparent would soon call left Nate endlessly thrilled.He was under the impression that Julien approved of how he had dealt with Jimmy and was calling personally to commend him. As such, he waited excitedly by his phone for Julien's call.And when Julien called his number, he answered right away, greeting him politely, "Hello! This is Nate Ellis!""Uh-huh," Julien replied quietly. "Julien Rothschild.""Yes, greetings, Mr. Rothschild!" Nate quickly said. "It's my honor to receive your personal call… how may I be of service?""I just called to inform you that you must never harass Jimmy Smith from now on," Julien replied quietly."Huh?" Nate was left gaping. "But your butl

Yolden and Matilda were truly a match made in heaven.It wasn't just the guests—even Paul and Autumn agreed with that sentiment and were happy for their parents.Charlie could tell that they were really in love with each other as there was no hiding the affection in their eyes.After the ceremony, Yolden, Matilda, and their children were sending off the guests at the doors together when Julien approached Charlie before he left, saying, "I'll be going back to the hotel if there's nothing else for now, Mr. Wade. I'll make the arrangements for Jimmy, so call me anytime anything comes up."Charlie nodded. "Thanks for coming all this way.""No, it was really no trouble," Julien quickly said before turning toward Yolden and Matilda. "Once again, allow me to congratulate you both on your wedding. By the way, my private jet is parked in Aurous Hill, but since I won't be leaving anytime soon, you can use it for your honeymoon and go anywhere you want."Yolden smiled, shaking his head. "Th

As Matilda and Yolden skipped out on most traditional wedding formalities, they were flexible on time—the ceremony proceeded just fine despite Jimmy causing a scene.And having heard what Jimmy had said, the guests didn't intervene as it was an issue between the bride and her former in-laws.Naturally, the guests weren't sure what they were discussing with Charlie and Julien either. They had only seen Jimmy being full of himself at first before suddenly dropping to his knees and bursting into tears, leaving everyone utterly confused.Still, now that Charlie had dealt with Jimmy, it was almost time for the ceremony.Charlie went on stage, first welcoming and thanking the guests as well as conveying the honor he felt to be invited as emcee and celebrant.After this opening speech, he then added, "I'm sure everyone saw a friend from the States getting a little excited when you first entered. He is Jimmy Smith, the bride's former brother-in-law, and now, let's all invite him onstage t

Ares LLP was the biggest law firm in the States, and only the best of the best were recruited as associates.If Jimmy got to pick ten of their partners, he was basically taking a huge chunk out of their human resources.Moreover, the partners' salaries would be very expensive. With Jimmy included, eleven of them meant over a hundred million US dollars at minimum. Ares would definitely be maimed if they had to pay that much money while losing ten of their elites! Naturally, Jimmy didn't feel confident about achieving that, and he asked Charlie, "Mr. Wade… Don't you think it's too much? Would Nate even agree to that?"Charlie shrugged. "Of course he won't agree if you're the one asking, but he would definitely say yes if it were Julien."Julien almost rolled his eyes.The man was truly ruthless, ready to inflict so much damage at the drop of a hat.Worst of all, he was going to play the villain for Charlie.Still, he said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade! I will pressure him
