However, the officer told her that since she was the prime suspect of a major transnational case, she was not allowed to meet or contact her family, or even hire a lawyer for the time being before the case was tried.The wrath of fury was burning violently inside Elaine, but she couldn’t vent it out.After entering the high wall of the detention center, the officer immediately took Elaine to go through detention formalities.It was quite a complicated and complex procedure. Her pictures had to be taken and her identity verified. Next, she had to take off all her clothes and belongings and hand them to the staff, then put on the prisoner uniform and take the daily necessities provided.After Elaine changed into the prisoner uniform, the officers who brought her here had already left. From then on, everything about her was to be managed by the detention center.A female prison guard brought her into the prison area, and as protocol, she explained while walking, “This is a twenty-per

Elaine was shocked when she heard the voice.She turned around and she saw Lady Wilson sitting cross-legged on the bed as she pointed her finger and cursed at her.Lady Wilson really did not expect to see Elaine at the detention center.Furthermore, Elaine was wearing the same prison uniform as herself in the detention center. It seemed as though she had just been arrested for committing a crime!Elaine was also very flustered after seeing Lady Wilson and Wendy.She really did not expect to be placed into the same cell as the both of them.She had just been wishing that she would not end up in the same cell as the both of them but she never expected herself to be so unfortunate.Therefore, she hurriedly yelled out of the small window on the iron gate while the prison guard was still nearby. “Comrade! Officer! Can you please switch me to another cell instead? I do not want to be in the same cell as these people!”The prison guard simply replied, “Do you really think that this de

When she saw that she had already achieved her purpose, Lady Wilson quickly burst into tears as she hit her own legs and started wailing, “I have been so miserable in this life! My family is really so unfortunate to have this kind of vicious daughter-in-law! I am already about to die, but my daughter-in-law is still yelling at me and reprimanding me!”Jennifer could not tolerate it anymore when she saw the old lady crying.She suddenly recalled the tragic appearance of her mother who had been sent to the hospital after drinking a whole bottle of pesticide. She did not die at that time, but the doctor had told her that her mother could no longer be saved because her lungs had already become irreversibly fibrotic after taking in such a large amount of pesticides.At that time, her mother had also been crying as miserably as this as she lay on the bed. Jennifer could not help but shed some tears as she thought of that heartbreaking scene.Since Elaine had forced and pushed this old la

While Elaine was suffering in the detention center, Charlie received a phone call from Isaac.As soon as the phone call was connected, Isaac said, “Young master, Elaine has already been locked up in the detention center. I have also arranged for her to be placed in the same cell as the old lady of the Wilson family and Wendy as per your wishes.”Charlie asked, “Have you already greeted the prison guard?”Isaac replied, “Yes, I have already asked my subordinates to greet the person-in-charge of the detention center. No one will bother butting in or doing anything even when Elaine is getting tortured in the detention center.”“Okay.” Charlie replied coldly, “I want her to suffer a little more inside!”Isaac hurriedly asked, “Young Master, do you want me to arrange for a few people to go into the detention center to get rid of Elaine directly? This way, she would never be able to provoke you again.”Charlie hesitated for a moment before he said, “Don’t worry. Let me see how things a

The prison guard took a step back before he pulled his leg out of Elaine’s grasp. After that, he simply told the two women who were supposed to collect the food, “Hurry up and come with me.”Both of them hurried forward as they followed closely behind the prison guard.Elaine felt very desperate and helpless.As soon as the prison guard closed the door behind him, Jennifer walked toward Elaine with a dark expression on her face. She ground her teeth as she said angrily, “The one with the last name Parker! You are really very bold! You actually dared to tell on me?”Elaine felt as though she was about to collapse! She quickly pleaded, “Sorry! Sorry! I must have been a little confused. Please let me off and forgive me this time!”“Forgive you?” Jennifer raised her hand and gave Elaine a tight slap across her face. Elaine felt a little dizzy as soon as she was slapped.Lady Wilson walked over to Elaine and gritted her teeth as she stepped directly on Elaine’s fingers and cursed, “Yo

Elaine almost peed her pants upon hearing Jennifer’s words.She did not doubt Jennifer’s words at all because she could tell that Jennifer was a very vicious person. The fact that she had already been beaten up so badly by Jennifer earlier had already cast a psychological shadow on her.Lady Wilson hurriedly relied on Jennifer’s support as she kicked Elaine and cursed, “So, are you going to write the letter or not?”Elaine yelled out in pain before she said, “I will write the letter. I will write the letter for you now, okay?”Jennifer gave her a tight slap across her face before she said, “You are really a miserable wretch! You simply refused to cooperate when people asked you nicely, but you only act accordingly after getting beaten up!”Elaine felt seriously wronged and blurted out, “You are also the same! You did not even bother to talk to me nicely and simply raised your hand to hit me as soon as you came up…”Jennifer ground her teeth in anger before she raised her hand and

After she was done speaking, Lady Wilson raised her hand before she slapped Elaine again. Then, she said coldly, “I have not liked you ever since the day Jacob wanted to marry you! Since you have already disgusted me for so many years, I must hit you until I am finally satisfied!”Elaine broke down completely!She never expected Lady Wilson to be so shameless!She was the one who made her the promise, but she had gone back on her words just like that!However, there was nothing Elaine could do right now!Furthermore, since Jennifer was here, Elaine did not even dare to voice out her dissatisfaction at all!As she thought about this, Elaine was extremely sad. She could only desperately hope that this was just a nightmare and wish that she would be able to wake up sooner!After a short while, the two people who had gone out to collect their dinner finally came back with two large plastic baskets in their hands.There were many different lunch boxes packed in the same tupperware.

Elaine, who had been beaten up severely, was also very hungry at this point.She did not even manage to eat a single bite of the food that Charlie prepared for lunch at noon. After that, she was immediately arrested by the police.After all the commotion in the afternoon, coupled up with all the shock and beating, she could not help but feel extremely hungry after all the physical exertion.Therefore, she cautiously crawled over to the bag of food before she took a lunch box from the plastic basket. She was about to hide in a corner to eat by herself but at this time, Jennifer suddenly shouted, “Elaine, what do you think you are doing?”Elaine hurriedly replied, “Big…big sister, I am going to eat…”“Eat?” Jennifer shouted, “You are a bastard who is not even filial to your own mother-in-law and you still have the audacity to eat?”“I…I…” Elaine suddenly choked up but she did not know how to answer Jennifer’s question.Jennifer was very dissatisfied and she continued reprimanding

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

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
