Chapter 5921
Author: Lord Leaf
Jacob instantly blushed at her words, and he stuttered as he tried to defend himself, “Who said I was asking my dear son-in-law for money? Did I say that?! I have other reasons for talking to my dear son-in-law. Don't make false accusations against me!”

Instead of arguing with Jacob, Elaine turned to Charlie and said, “My dear son-in-law, you heard what he said. No matter what he's scheming, don't give him a single penny!”

Jacob was immediately furious, and he angrily exclaimed, “Elaine, why are you like this? Why are you always just talking about money?”

Elaine playfully shook her head and grinned as she said, “What's wrong? Since you're not asking my dear son-in-law for money, why does it bother you if I tell him not to give you any?”

Jacob was speechless. Elaine's strong defense had thwarted his intentions completely. With her words, he couldn't bring himself to ask Charlie for money anymore. How could he, after being put in such a situation?

Jacob, who was at the losing end, w

    There were concerts where certain seat tickets were worth ten times that of a standard ticket, or even dozens.As such, forget international sensations like Tanya—even front row seats in concerts of Oskian's best singers would be inflated. When it cost over just two thousand Oskian dollars at best, the final marked-up price would be twenty, even thirty times that. As such, even fifty thousand Oskian dollars wasn't going to cut it for front row seats at a concert, especially in the big city.That rule applied to Tayna even more, especially in Canada—the central seats were known to cost fifty grand, with some fans even competing to get the hundred grand seats.The organizers of the concert didn't just decide who would get the front row seats—they had the right to decide who would get the other 45,000 tickets. It was not just the best seats where it was common to see prices increase by dozens of times, but even the worst seats at the furthest end could be doubled, if not tripled, the s

    As Charlie finished, Tanya blurted in surprise, "Wait, so you're really serious about holding concerts in Oskia?""Yeah," Charlie nodded calmly. "You've never had a concert in Oskia before, have you? You can use this opportunity to surprise your Oskian fans, which will do wonders for your career. And I can promise you this—you will be safe once you touch down over there, but it's still up to you if you want to go.""Y-Yes, I'll go…" Tanya nodded without hesitation.Under normal circumstances, Tanya might have had other considerations.But this time, deep down, she had no desire to refuse. If anything, it felt as if there were multiple voices in her mind, urging her to agree with Charlie.Seeing that Tanya agreed, Charlie said, "Then, let's go into detail on our agreement, as Mr. Mitsui is here, and he's a shareholder of Universal Music."All of Tanya's performance fees for her Oskian concerts will be paid according to the usual rates. I have no issue with a complete buyout or jus

    Tanya pursed her lips and said gingerly, "M-My family is back home in the States… I miss them, and home feels safe…"Charlie shrugged. "Do you really think home is safe after today? That your family has enough influence to stand against the people who want you dead?"Tanya was once again reminded of Charlie's insight earlier, and she sighed, shaking her head. "A-Alright, I won't go back… I'll just try to offer an olive branch to them like you said, and only head back when they provide assurance of a safe passage…"Charlie nodded approvingly, like a parent would when their child was behaving. "Why not hold a few more concerts after Tokyo? And don't stay at Mr. Mitsui's residence since it won't do if you keep imposing on the old fellow—drop by Oskia instead.""What? Oskia?!" Tanya blurted in surprise."Yes," Charlie replied, nodding. "It's not that far. Just a three-hour flight from Tokyo."Tanya remained bemused. "B-But what am I going to do there?""Oh, that's true—you are a pub

    Charlie shook his head. "The people who want you dead were actually your allies who want to jump ship by cleaning house and save their own skin now that things have changed. It's the principle of sacrificing your friend when you run into a hungry bear—the bear won't hunt you if it has something else to eat."That's just the way it is when it comes to switching sides. They have all the more reason to want you dead since you might be aware of certain individuals' dirty laundry, even if you weren't actively getting involved in it."Tanya was left speechless, as that definitely was the case—she knew certain things, even witnessed it, but she wasn't an active part of it.And with a new sheriff in town, silencing her was just a matter of self-preservation.Naturally, she couldn't just tell Charlie those things outright, especially since they weren't alone.Fortunately for her, Charlie wasn't interested in what she did, saw, or knew.Instead, he quietly said, "Judging from the current s

    Yoshitaka breathed a sigh of relief, hearing that Tanya was finally agreeing to stick with the concert.He was already worried that the diva would just up and leave, and he was well aware of the temper of divas like her.Push her too far, and she would walk out on her bosses—she was plenty rich and influential anyway, and she could goof off for a while even if she failed to beat the company's lawsuit.On top of that, if she told her fans that she had left the company because they were forcing her to do something against her will, her legions of fans would bring the company to its knees.That was why Yoshitaka wouldn't dare to compel Tanya to do something against her will, and it really surprised him that Charlie just had to play hardball to make her cave.That was when Charlie said, "Since Ms. Sweet will be continuing with the concert, let's not waste time here. Mr. Kennedy, please return to the party with Ms. Sweet, or the other guests will start asking questions. If anyone asks,

    First and foremost, Charlie hadn't saved Tanya to do Yoshitaka a favor, so he shouldn't think too highly of himself.Secondly, Charlie didn't care how big a deal he was in Japan. To Charlie, he was nothing.Yoshitaka certainly felt embarrassed as well, as he could see that Charlie thought nothing of him when he didn't even know who Charlie really was.Until now, if anyone ever did Yoshitaka a favor, he just had to tell them he would remember it, and they would be so overjoyed as if they had been granted a favor. That definitely wasn't the case with Charlie, as he was showing his disdain for Yoshitaka in every way.Moreover, he had indeed screwed up big time in front of Charlie and Kathleen when Peter and his gang duped him.Smiling in embarrassment, he nodded, "Yes, you're right, Mr. Wade. I will do my best to correct that and refresh my memory…"Charlie simply ignored him and turned to Tanya, "Putting aside the fact that my wife and I flew hundreds of miles to watch your con
