Chapter 2536
Author: Lord Leaf
Aside from acting as a protection amulet, the will could also act as family insurance.

An ancient king would often be worried that his heir would be a fatuous and self-indulgent ruler that would throw away all of the country’s blessings, without leaving any blessings behind for the future generations.

As for the modern wealthy men, they would also be afraid that their heirs would end up becoming prodigal sons and ultimately ruin the family inheritance.

Therefore, almost every wealthy man would set up a trust fund. That way, if he did not have any worthy descendants to succeed him and inherit the family, the wealthy man would simply hand all of the family’s assets and properties over to the trust fund so that he could ensure that the descendants of their family would be able to live in comfort forever. That way, they would always have money to spend and they would never lose their property.

Furthermore, the rule of relying on the number of descendants to gain even more living expens

    Sheldon’s private jet began descending over the suburbs of Sudbury at four o’clock in the afternoon.When he saw that he was about to land at the Sudbury Airport, Sheldon hurriedly used his cell phone to call his son, Jaime.At this time, Jaime had already driven all the way to Sudbury Airport. He parked his car in the parking lot, and he stayed inside the car as he waited for news from his father.When he saw the phone call from his father, Jaime hurriedly answered the call before he asked, “Dad, where are you?”Sheldon said, “I should be landing in another twenty minutes or so. Are you there yet?”“I am already here.” Jaime said, “Tell me after you leave customs. I will come and pick you up.”“Okay!” Sheldon told him, “Don’t forget to wear sunglasses and a mask. The Schulz family is in a very sensitive and critical situation right now. We cannot allow anyone to find out that we are here in Sudbury.”“I know, Dad.”After hanging up the phone, Jaime quickly put on his mask and

    Sheldon said seriously, “The incident that your mother and Sophie have encountered this time is an excellent opportunity for us to do so. Anyone with discerning eyes can see that there is someone who is targeting and trying to attack our family. Moreover, the opponent is extremely capable, and it seems as though the other party has already been planning this for a very long time. If we can assist and help your grandfather find the mastermind behind the scenes and eliminate all the threats to the Schulz family, your grandfather will certainly be filled with admiration for us!”Immediately afterward, Sheldon added, “You have to know that your grandfather has already been nailed to the pillar of shame now, and it will be impossible for him to clear his name until the day he dies!”“So, we have to make sure that he is satisfied with us during the time before his death, and we have to be obedient and respectful toward him without challenging his authority and majesty as the head of the fa

    Sheldon’s words touched Cadfan’s heart immediately.Although Cadfan had taken the initiative to apologize to Sheldon and Jaime about Helen and Sophie’s affairs as soon as they arrived, deep down in his heart, he did not want Sheldon and Jaime to be troubled by this issue.So, when Sheldon took the initiative to change the topic just now, he had inevitably catered to Cadfan’s innermost thoughts.So, Cadfan hurriedly said, “Sheldon, you are right. We have to be united and work together to find out who is the mastermind behind the scenes!”With that said, Cadfan asked Sheldon, “Sheldon, who could possibly be trying to go against us?”Sheldon subconsciously replied, “Dad, I have a feeling that this matter is related to the Wade family, but I do not have any evidence pointing directly at them to prove that they are indeed the mastermind behind this matter. I can only make some speculations that the Wade family has a part in this matter based on the short video platform. Furthermore, Au

    As soon as Sheldon heard this, he subconsciously said, “Dad, Aurous Hill is a very mysterious and unpredictable place! My younger brother went missing there. If Jaime were to go to Aurous Hill in a high-profile manner, I am afraid…”Cadfan waved his hand and said, “You don’t have to be afraid! My guesses are generally not wrong! What we have to focus on right now is to find a way to lure that man out of his hiding place.”Sheldon could not help but have a very mixed and entangled expression on his face.Sophie’s whereabouts were still unknown, and no one knew whether she was already dead or still alive. Therefore, Sheldon could not help but feel extremely reluctant to let Jaime take the risk to head to Aurous Hill at this time.The reason why Steven had gotten kidnapped was because he had kept up such a high-profile as soon as he arrived in Aurous Hill.If Jaime were to also put on a high-profile as he headed to Aurous Hill, then there was an 80% probability of Jaime encountering

    Jaime had already had a crush on Quinn for many years, but he had only told his sister, Sophie, about this matter.The reason why he had never dared to bring this matter up was because he knew that the Schulz family would never allow him to be together with Quinn.Lord Schulz had always been a very condescending person, and he had never once looked up to any other families in Oskia.Moreover, Lord Schulz had always been very eager to achieve a major breakthrough in the overseas markets.Therefore, he had especially hoped that as the eldest grandson of the Schulz family, Jaime would marry the daughter of a top and influential European or American family, or even a European royal princess.In that case, the Schulz family would be able to exchange resources with them.Otherwise, if they were to join hands with a family in this country who had a weaker overall strength compared to the Schulz family, it would be clear that the Schulz family was being taken advantage of.This was the

    He had initially thought that it would be impossible for his grandfather to allow him to pursue Quinn. However, Jaime would never have expected to gain his grandfather’s full support instead.This instantly increased his confidence to pursue Quinn countless times.So, Jaime immediately said, “Grandpa, in that case, I will head to Aurous Hill now under the pretext of attending the upcoming concert to see if I can lure the mastermind out!”Cadfan nodded in satisfaction before he smiled and said, “I’ve already asked Arrington to invite the head of the top family in Sudbury, Donald from the Webb family, to come here for dinner today. I believe that he should be here in a while. You do not need to leave in such a hurry. It is not too late for you to set off after having dinner.“Okay!”***At this moment, at Shangri-La hotel in Aurous Hill.Sophie was already feeling very anxious and impatient after getting locked up in the room for the entire day.At six o’clock in the evening, Isa

    Isaac’s words made Charlie hesitate slightly.He had not decided whether he wanted to meet with Sophie and Helen yet.The main reason was simply because he did not know what kind of mentality he should have when facing his enemy’s daughter or a woman who had already been in love with his father for so many years.However, Charlie knew it very well in his heart.He knew that since things had already reached this point, he would have to meet with the pair of mother and daughter sooner or later.Still, he had not decided whether or not it was the right time to meet them now.When Isaac saw that Charlie was still hesitating, he hurriedly persuaded him, “Young Master, to be honest, since you will have to meet the both of them sooner or later, wouldn’t it be better for you to meet them sooner rather than later?”As he spoke, Isaac said again, “Look. Miss Schulz’s current status is equivalent to being kept under house arrest at this time. If you refuse to meet her now, I am afraid that

    So, Donald and Sean followed Arrington to the dining hall inside the manor.At this time, Cadfan, Sheldon, and Jaime, who represented the three generations of the Schulz family, were seated at the dining table.When Cadfan saw Donald and Sean walking into the dining hall, he took the initiative to stand up and greet Donald with a smile on his face. “Mr. Webb, I have already heard of your great name for a very long time! I finally get to meet you today!”Donald hurriedly replied in a flattered manner, “Lord Schulz, you are being too polite. Compared to you, I am nothing more than a small businessman engaging in some small businesses. I am still way too inferior as compared to you…”Cadfan waved his hand before he smiled and said, “How could that be, Mr. Webb? The Webb family is the top and most influential family in the whole of Sudbury. So, why are you belittling yourself?”After he had spoken, Cadfan hurriedly said again, “Come, Mr. Webb! Let me introduce you to my family. This i

    Julien had made up his mind—Charlie had already dragged him into this anyway, and he certainly wouldn't stay as a slave who bemoaned his fate every day.He had boarded Charlie's ship, and the ship had sailed—he just had to come up with a plan so that he could stay on it without any problem.After all, the chances for him to become the next Rothschild head or how long he would get to live were banked entirely on Charlie's decision.If Charlie didn't want him as head, he just had to ask Helena to be his broker and sell some pills to old Harrison, and Julien would be forced to stay as the heir apparent to their empire until he expired.And since the decision was made, he must first show some sincerity by investing into Aurous Hill—it was the ideal way to bring in both capital and human resources.With Julien having indicated his position, Charlie smiled. "Aurous Hill is a land of wealth and prosperity. As a local, I keenly await your investment, Mr. Rothschild."Julien was worried f

    Julien shook his head and gingerly asked, "Jordan Fox likes his granddaughter?"Charlie smiled, shaking his head. "And your father doesn't like you as his eldest? Admiration is no guarantee of inheritance. And if we're talking about love, is it not a gesture of love that he provided you with endless cash and a life of privilege that only the world's top one percent can enjoy?"Julien also noticed the flaw in his logic. "Then, do you perchance know why, Mr. Wade?"Charlie nodded. "Jordan granted his position to Kathleen because that was the condition I proposed to him in return for prolonging his life. No succession, no pills—no matter how much he was willing to pay me for it."Then, Charlie looked Julien straight in the eye as he continued solemnly, "If the day comes and I find you more reliable, I will choose you as the sole broker for your father's pills. Just think about it—if the day comes that you're the only person your father can get his pills from, would he say no if you as

    Charlie chuckled. "You might think that I'm screwing you over, but in reality, I'm indirectly solidifying your place as heir apparent. From what I've learned, your family has not confirmed who it would be."Julien chuckled awkwardly. "You're right, but I am now. With the pills you've provided, however, my father might live longer than me…"Charlie nodded. "Since we have the fortune of meeting over drinks, I shall cut to the chase—to me, it doesn't matter who between you or your father lives longer. My priority is with whom I could hope for a better partnership."And right now, your father has shown more sincerity than you have, which was why I asked Helena to provide him with my pills."Pausing, Charlie then asked, "Are you aware of your father's recent activities? In Northern Europe?""A little," Julien replied. "A data center or something along those lines."Charlie nodded again. "See, I've asked Helena to make him a new offer—I will provide him with one pill should he build an

    Charlie had actually invited Julien over to bring him aboard his metaphorical ship.While not particularly down-to-earth, Julien was still the second most important figure in the Rothschild family, and having him on board wouldn't hurt.Moreover, just having drinks with Charlie and Raymond here basically told everyone they were friends. If Harrison knew that Julien was meeting the son of Curtis Wade as well as 'Biden Cole', who had taken the Four-Sided Treasure Tower from the Rothstchilds, he just might have Julien shot.While Julien may not become the head of the Rothschild family anytime soon, he would prove very useful.With Helena basically controlling Harrison and Charlie himself controlling Julien, traveling Stateside would be no different from going home."It seems I must reevaluate my opinion of you now with that attitude."Charlie smiled at Julien and raised his cup, "Come, let's have a toast—to friendship."Julien nodded, picked up his cup, exclaiming cheerfully, "To f

    Pausing, Julien then said, "I mostly drink wine and the occasional whiskey.""How much are those, usually?" Raymond asked.Julien thought about it. "If it's table wine, 10,000 to 50,000 USD. For bigger occasions, it'd be something over a hundred thousand."Raymond nodded and pointed at the bottle of Oskian vodka he had bought. "Guess how much that is?"Julein shook his head. "I don't usually drink Oskian alcohol, so I'm not too sure…""Come on," Charlie chuckled. "We're not asking if you know—we're just asking you to take a guess.""Then…" Julien quickly said. "I'm guessing, three thousand?""Three thousand?" Raymond chuckled and shook his head. "That's way too flattering. It's around 7 USD.""Seven bucks?!" Julien exclaimed, and he blurted, "You usually drink something that cheap, Mr. Cole?""Well, not stateside," Raymond smiled. "But I liked it after I ordered one from a diner yesterday. It's cheap, and it has quality."Julien gulped as he stared at his own cup filled to th

    Julien flinched and promptly threw his hands up. "No, no, no… please don't say that, Mr. Wade! That's not what I mean—as a son, it's only right that I hope my father lives long and prospers. Why wouldn't I want him to?"Charlie pointed out, "Then why'd you say that I've screwed you over repeatedly?""Oh. I, uh…" Julien wasn't sure how to respond to that, and he groaned unhappily, "I was not being mindful with words. I take that back…" Charlie nodded. "Then, I'll give you another chance.""Huh?" Julien was left confused, and he quickly asked, "Another chance… for what?"Charlie clapped him on the shoulder again, smiling, "We're old friends, aren't we? Why would I screw you over? Anyway, your turn."Julien was left utterly aggrieved as he read through Charlie's intention—that was precisely the definition of screwing him over!If his father knew he had come to Aurous Hill to hang out with these two, especially Biden Cole, he would definitely be removed as heir! And yet, Charlie

    Having seen a sliver of the common folk's plight, Julien turned back to the journey at hand.Soon, his MPV arrived at Aurous Hill's Antique Street.As it was closing hours, the place appeared bleak, almost as though it had been completely abandoned. It was only during opening hours and the few hours before closing that the place became most alive anyway.Most of the time, the vendors and employees outnumbered the guests, and during closing hours, it would get very quiet. One wouldn't even find strays here as there weren't scraps around.Still, Julien had no idea what the hell the place was, even as he arrived outside Treasure Measure following the location Charlie had sent.Once he was sure he was at the right place, he called Charlie, immediately sounding respectful and flattering, "I'm here, Mr. Wade. If you don't mind opening the door…""Alright, just hang on," Charlie said and put down the phone while turning to Raymond, who was putting the food on a folding table, "Our frien

    The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What

    At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav
