Chapter 31
Author: Lord Leaf
Elaine crouched on the floor, her body trembling violently. She closed her eyes tightly, waiting to be slapped by the muscular man, but the slap never came as she had expected.

She opened her eyes in confusion and was shocked!

Charlie, her good-for-nothing son-in-law, came out and held the man’s wrist!

This…

She felt that her mind had gone kaput for the moment—she couldn’t process the thing that was happening right now. Why was the useless Charlie so brave out of sudden?

Don Albert couldn’t believe either that there’s someone dared to stand up for the d*mn old lady at a moment like this. He growled coldly, “Who are you? Do you have a death wish?”

Charlie smiled faintly. “You are Don Albert, aren’t you? You can beat the h*ll out of that b*stard, but do me a favor and don’t touch my mother-in-law!”

A layer of dark gloom shaded Albert’s face. “This old fart is your mother-in-law? Who do you think you are for me to do you a favor?”

Albert began to huff in wrath when he said it.

    As soon as the voice resonated into Albert’s ear, his brain processed the information rapidly and registered the voice as Isaac Cameron, the man who he had been trying to curry favor with!Did he just say that he had offended his young master?Could it be this man in front of him?!Moreover, Isaac knew that there were twenty-five members in his whole family. Did he already research on his background thoroughly?Isaac Cameron was the spokesperson of the Wade family in Aurous Hill! The Wade family’s influence and power were so enormous and strong that destroying him would be as easy as smacking an ant!Albert’s legs went jelly and he trembled in fear as he listened to Isaac’s angry voice. He stuttered, “Mr. Cameron, please calm down. I… I didn’t know, it was just a misunderstanding, the young master and I…”“Shut up!” Isaac shouted, “Our Young Master’s identity is highly confidential. If you leak it out even a little, I swear I’ll wipe you and your family clean from the world!”Al

    Elaine was over the moon and a little disbelieving when she heard Axel’s statement. Her money had increased from 1.3 million to two million!She asked, astonished, “Are you sure? Are you really giving me two million?”Axel nodded hurriedly. “Of course! It’s all yours!”“Wow, that’s wonderful!” Elaine shrieked in excitement.Seeing Elaine not only getting back her money but also the additional five hundred thousand dollars, the rest of the elders were tiptoeing in jittery. They felt that since Elaine’s money was refunded, they should also receive the same treatment as well, shouldn’t they?Hence, some of them started, “Mr. Jordan, what about our money?”Axel turned to Albert, exasperated.Albert was heavyhearted to surrender all the money he had pocketed, but he was up against the Wade family who he couldn’t afford to pick a fight with—he might even lose his life. Hence, he blurted, “Just refund, refund them all! For Mr. Wade’s sake, they’ll get back their capital and the dividen

    Charlie glared at him coldly and muttered, “I don’t have any disputes nor any connections with you, but you kept making fun of me and taunting me, and now you want me to help you? Dream on!”Kevin collapsed and wailed, “Charlie, I’m really sorry, please help me…”Looking at Charlie’s displeased expression, Albert shouted to his men, “D*mn it you fools, what are you waiting for? Get your hands on him now!”His bodyguards were startled in shock. Then, they swiftly grabbed Kevin’s neck and hair, and started beating the crap out of him!Soon, blood flooded Kevin’s mouth and a few of his teeth were broken, but Albert’s bodyguards showed no signs of stopping. Every slap they swung towards Kevin’s face was fast and hard!Albert turned to Charlie and asked with a flattering smile, “Mr. Wade, are you satisfied with our work?”Charlie nodded casually. “Very good. Okay, that’s it, I have to go now.”Albert handed his name card to Charlie respectfully and said, “Mr. Wade, this is my number.

    After settling Elaine’s problem, Elaine and Charlie parted ways. Hugging the suitcase happily like a child holding a lollipop, Elaine went to the bank to make a deposit while Charlie went home.Upon entering the house, Charlie saw Claire’s shoes in the hallway, so he knew that she had returned and went straight to their bedroom.As soon as he entered the room, he saw his wife just hanging up the phone, her face painted with surprise and excitement.He asked curiously, “Dear, who was it on the phone?”Claire shrieked excitedly, “It’s my bestie, Loreen! Do you remember her?”“Yes, I do,” Charlie nodded and continued, “She used to study in Aurous Hill and was very close to you. In fact, if I recall correctly, she is the daughter of the wealthy Thomas family in Eastcliff, isn’t she?”“Yes!” Claire said, “Loreen’s family is quite prominent in Eastcliff.”Charlie smiled and asked, “So what is it about? Is she coming to Aurous Hill for a visit?”“Not just for a visit, she’s coming to

    Charlie ordered her to keep an eye on Loreen after she started working and to always report to him if there were any abnormalities.After talking to Doris, Charlie took a taxi to the airport to pick Loreen up.When he was at the airport, Charlie disembarked the taxi and was about to go to the arrival hall when a Mercedes-Benz G-Class braked abruptly and stopped in front of him.Harold, Claire’s cousin, stretched his head out of the car window and frowned when he saw Charlie. “Why are you here?”“I’m here to pick Claire’s friend up. Why are you here?”Charlie frowned too when he saw the familiar faces sitting in the car—besides Harold, there were Gerald and Wendy.Harold sneered. “Do you mean Miss Thomas? We’re here to entertain her, you’re nothing but redundant, get lost!”Charlie snorted indifferently and said, “You get lost.”Thus, Charlie ignored them and walked directly into the airport’s arrival hall.Harold’s face turned into an ugly shade of red and he was about to swea

    Charlie was a little surprised when he heard that Harold had also booked a suite at Heaven Springs.What a coincidence. Didn’t Albert say that he owned Heaven Springs? He had prepared a suite for him in the restaurant as well, hadn’t he?Meanwhile, Gerald gaped in shock. “Wow, Harold, did you actually manage to make a reservation for the Golden Suite in Heaven Springs? Not everyone can do it!”Harold laughed triumphantly. “Honestly speaking, apart from the Diamond Suite that’s really out of my reach, other suites are a piece of cake.”Despite his pompous statement, it was nothing but Harold’s bragging. Truth be told, in order to make a reservation for the Golden Suite, Lady Wilson herself had requested for a lot of favors from many people to book it.Loreen had heard about Heaven Springs even in Eastcliff. She hurriedly said, “We’re all friends, you don’t have to make such extravagant arrangements just for me.”Harold uttered coyly, “Oh no, you are our distinguished guest, how

    Wendy asked with a coy smile, “Charlie, didn’t you also make a reservation here? Which suite? Bring us to check it out!”Charlie said flatly, “I didn’t think about which suite to reserve, to be frank. I just sent a text message to their boss and asked him to arrange it for me. I’ll check the message now, give me a minute.”Harold sneered disdainfully, “Shut your mouth! Do you know who the boss here is? It’s the famous Don Albert Rhodes! How dare you talk such bullsh*t here? Careful, if he hears you, he will squeeze you to death with his fingertips.”Charlie ignored their heinous remarks and proceeded to check his message on the phone. “He said he reserved the Diamond Suite for me.”Harold laughed instantly. “Hahaha…Diamond Suite? Charlie, don’t make me laugh, will you? Do you know who can enter the Diamond Suite? No more than ten people in the whole Aurous Hill! You’re nothing but a fart!”Loreen stayed silent in the midst of the commotion, although a thought was slowly brewing in

    Loreen was taken aback in astonishment and bewilderment. She didn’t expect Harold to be so well-connected in Aurous Hill. He was so much more reliable as compared to Charlie. She contemplated that it would be more convenient for her to get close to Harold for her daily routine.The man in a black suit escorted the group respectful to the door of the Diamond Suite. He took out a bill, handed it to Charlie directly, and said softly, “Sir, please sign here.”The Diamond Suite was specially reserved for Charlie and his signature was needed for confirmation.Charlie smiled and took the pen and paper, but before he could sign his name, Harold’s loud shriek echoed.“D*mn it! Put the pen down!”Harold marched forward with a gloomy face. He snatched the pen and paper from Charlie’s hands, signed his name quickly, and yelled at Charlie, “You shameless rat! Do you really have no f*cking idea who reserved the room? Who do you think you are to sign your name here!”The man in black was take

    Jacob wasn't really concerned with the invitation. He wouldn't be going anyway, and he wouldn't tell Elaine about it.Right now, he had a question.After hanging up on Walker, he asked curiously, "A designated driver would be just a few dozen bucks at most. Why get Walker?"Mr. Bay sighed meaningfully. "Jacob, my boy—it's not just my job description you must handle when you succeed me. You must understand the unspoken rules of the workplace as well as interpersonal relationships."Raising his right index finger, he chuckled, "Earning the loyalty of subordinates is a science. But it has to be a carrot and stick—never just the carrot, while offering them chances to be of service.""Take Walker, for example. As his boss, buying him lunch is 5 points. Ask for a favor, but it's 50 points instead!""As a leader, you should also make sure to give requests that are reasonable. That way, they will consider you to be their ally, or soon enough.""People are strange that way—psychology sim

    Jacob certainly agreed with Mr. Bay. When going to a dinner where alcohol would be involved, having a designated driver would be most convenient.Still, Jacob had another plan in mind.Since he had a Cullinan and this was the perfect chance to show off, it would kill him not to drive."Actually, we should go on our own," Jacob told Mr. Bay right then. "We will take my car and get a designated driver to take us home. We can hang out in the backseat to chat—I mean, you'd be in a bad mood if you get a bad driver, bringing a car that stinks of tobacco. You know how bad it can get."Mr. Bay nodded cheerfully. "Alright! I'm counting on you!""Oh, it's only right!"Coming to an agreement, they hurried outside, with Jacob driving and Mr. Bay riding shotgun.They were having a pleasant conversation when Jacob suddenly got a call from Walker, who was his sub at Senior University.Answering with the in-car Bluetooth system, he said, "Hey, Walker. What's up?""Mr. Wilson! I'm done with cl

    As such, Albert did not hesitate to say right then, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilson—since they are your friends, I will offer the half-price rebate as you've suggested! When the guests take their seats, I'll personally deliver a couple of nice bottles over as a token of my sincerity!"Oskia truly sets the bar when it comes to being humanistic.There were times when one must show due respect, but not too much either in case it changed the status quo.It was just like a couple eating out with a third-wheel.Even if the third-wheel was better off and happily took the check as the girl watched, there would inevitably be competitiveness. The generosity might even lead to the girl getting attracted to the third-wheel.As such, since Jacob was actually secondary in importance at the event, Albert would have to make sure not to rain on the host's parade while showing his respects to Jacob. Otherwise, the host may hold a grudge against Jacob even if everything was free of charge.And when it cam

    Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,

    Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min

    Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa

    As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh

    The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office

    On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…
