Chapter 697
Author: Lord Leaf
Everyone turned around to look out the door as soon as they heard this voice. At this time, they saw Albert walking into the room with the manager.

Chester naturally knew who Albert was. When he saw that Albert was here, he quickly stepped forward before he said respectfully, “Don Albert, why are you here personally?”

Unexpectedly, Albert glanced at him with a cold expression on his face as he said, “Were you the one who called Mr. Wilson a pathetic fool earlier?”

Chester was stunned at this time. What was happening? Did Albert know Jacob?

As he thought about this, he hurriedly explained, “Don Albert, this is probably all just a misunderstanding. Both Jacob and I are members of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and we share a very good and close relationship with one another. Therefore, it’s only natural for us to ridicule and make fun of each other occasionally.”

Albert frowned before he looked at Jacob and said respectfully, “Mr. Wilson, I really did not expect you to per

    Albert pointed his finger at Chester before he instructed his men, “Guys, come over here! Drag this guy out and beat him up nicely! I want you to focus on hitting his filthy mouth!”When Chester heard Albert’s words, he was so scared and frightened that he immediately knelt down in front of Albert as he cried out, “Don Albert, I am so sorry! I really did not know that Jacob was your distinguished guest! It’s all my fault. I admit to my mistake and I apologize for my actions! Forgive me! Please forgive me this time!”Chester really did not expect Jacob’s son-in-law to be so amazing and incredible that even the underground mobster boss of Aurous Hill would actually be Jacob’s lapdog because of him!Before Chester could even continue begging for mercy, some of Albert’s men had already stepped forwards and slapped him across his face!Chester instantly felt dizzy and he fell to the ground when Albert’s bodyguards started punching and kicking him. He looked very pathetic and miserable a

    The expression on Chester’s face changed drastically at this time. He was scared to death in an instant and he could not help but feel very desperate at this point!How could he possibly live and sleep with pigs? How could he possibly eat what pigs ate?That was too f*cking sick, wasn’t it?Besides that, the pigsty was a very messy and disgusting environment. Moreover, the smell of the pigs was also very nasty and smelly. He would definitely feel very sick if he was forced to sleep with all the dirty and smelly pigs!Furthermore, the food fed to the pigs were always leftovers. Due to the lack of air circulation and the sultry temperature in the pigsty, the leftover food fed to the pigs would usually be rotten within a few hours. What would happen to his health and body that he has taken such good care of for so many years if he had to eat this kind of food?He even has to live with the pigs for a week. He was afraid that he would belch for the whole entire week there!As he thoug

    Jacob was also a little stunned. He hesitated for a moment before he said, “This…isn’t this too inappropriate?”Albert solemnly replied, “Mr. Wilson, since you are Master Wade’s son-in-law, of course it is most appropriate for you to dine in the Diamond Room!”Jacob was very relieved when he heard this and he quickly said, “Don Albert, you are being too polite and courteous with me.”Mr. Bay and the other directors finally realized that Jacob was also a very prominent figure.If they established a good relationship with him, then they would definitely save themselves a lot of worry and trouble in future!After that, Albert personally escorted them to the Diamond Room.Mr. Bay and the rest of the directors followed silently behind Jacob with a respectful expression on their faces. They did not dare to say anything.Jacob also took notice of this and he was actually feeling very happy and excited inside.He had obviously been the one who was very eager to invite all of these peop

    A short while later, the beautiful female manager walked back into the Diamond Room. At this time a timid young man was following behind her and his head was lowered as though he did not dare to look up at all.Jacob and everyone else in the Calligraphy and Painting Association were all very confused at this time. They could not help but wonder why Albert would prepare this kid as a performance for them.In fact, there was nothing special about this young man at all!As soon as the young man walked into the Diamond Room, he immediately bowed in front of Albert without saying anything at all. After a short while, he said in a fearful and respectful manner, “Uncle Albert, I am here to report to you now. Please inspect my scar.”This person was none other than Marcus Lloyd.That day, after carving the words ‘pathetic jerk’ on Marcus’s forehead at Champs Elys Spa Resort, Albert had directly instructed him to come to The Heaven Springs every week so that he could check and inspect his

    After Marcus was ridiculed by the crowd, Albert gestured to him to go away.Usually, after the humiliating meeting at The Heaven Springs, Marcus would cover his forehead and go home quickly.But this time, he walked back to the parking lot with a murderous look on his face and got into the car that Cain and Johnny were in.Cain had been waiting for him for a long time. When Marcus got into the car, he quickly asked, “Son, how was it?”Marcus gritted his teeth and said, “There are thirty-something waiters and guards inside but most of them are women. The ones who are really combative are the twelve security guards.”Cain turned to the man sitting next to him and asked in a concerned tone, “Mr. Johnny, are you confident that you can handle so many men? Will you be on the losing side if they start an attack?”Johnny smiled coldly and said, “Huh, even if all thirty-something people are security guards, they are like dummies to us!”Cain immediately complimented, “Wow, Mr. Johnny, yo

    However, Don Albert’s arrangement for tonight’s dinner was so extremely lavish that Jacob was dumbfounded. One serving of the best double-headed abalone for each of them cost 8,880 dollars per person, in addition to the black truffles, caviar, and other delicacies that could easily reach thousands of dollars for each serving.He estimated that this dinner was worth at least two to three million!Jacob had never eaten such an expensive meal in his entire life. He shivered in delight and said to Albert, “Mr. Rhodes, thank you so much for your hospitality! I really appreciate it!”Albert smiled lightly, retrieved a business card from his pocket, and said as he handed it to Jacob, “Mr. Wilson, this is my name card, please keep it! Next time, if you’d like to come to The Heaven Springs again, just give me a call and I’ll reserve the Diamond Suite for you right away.”Jacob grinned as he held the business card like a child receiving a lollipop.The people from the association witnesse

    Everyone in the suite was startled by the abrupt noise.They looked at the door and saw a brawny man walking into the suite with a cold face.Behind him, four arrogant-looking men followed and entered the suite too.These five men were Donald Webb’s personal bodyguards.Cain and Marcus followed these men with wicked grins on their faces.Albert frowned in dismay as he saw the Lloyds and chided, “Huh, you’re very bold huh, bring someone to challenge me at my own restaurant?!”Marcus snorted disdainfully. “Albert Rhodes, you can keep up with your cockiness, but you’re going to die soon anyway! I’ll never forget the humiliation and scorn I got from you and I’m here to kill you today!”Everyone’s jaw dropped as soon as Marcus finished talking!Was he serious?Was he really bold enough to kill Don Albert?!Albert laughed at his sinister remark instead and said, “You? Want to kill me? Do you really think that my title is nothing but a hoax? Do you know how many men I have in the ci

    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…

    Charlie was driving Jacob to Thompson First when the latter received the text from Matilda.Seeing that they were reaching the front gates, Jacob promptly snapped at Charlie, "Charlie, stop the car now!"Charlie did so and asked in curiosity, "What's wrong?""Matilda just texted me," Jacob replied, showing the chat log between him and Matilda.Charlie was just glancing at it nonchalantly when he saw that Matilda's contact name was 'AAA July Florist'."Wait, why is that Aunt Matilda's contact name?" He exclaimed in surprise."I changed it."Jacob explained gingerly while reading through the text Matilda sent. "Her profile picture is an iris, so I changed her contact name to a florist since I'm mostly worried Elaine would peek into my phone.""Anyway, she's asking if I'm attending her wedding with Yolden. They would send us an invitation if I accept, extended to our whole family… what do you think I should say?"Charlie asked in return. "You're planning to skip it, aren't you? T

    Then, Matilda suggested, "How about this—I'll ask him before deciding." "I'll pass on inviting the rest of my former classmates too. They're too vain and love comparing, so I'd rather not have anything to do with that. Also, there are our Korean friends who have it together, and they were telling us to invite them if we were going to get married. We have to keep our promise, right?""Yeah—then, it's basically decided. Aside from Charlie, we shall invite our colleagues and Korean friends while we wait for an answer from Jacob."Yolden nodded and said, "Now, I'll talk about the honeymoon—cut me short if you have a different opinion."Matilda nodded, resting her chin on her hands and smiling. "Shoot. I'm all ears."Feeling a little embarrassed by Matilda's glowing stare, Yolden took a sip of his ice water before continuing, "My idea is to head to the States for our honeymoon after the wedding…"He trailed off, staring at Matilda and waiting for a response.However, she was merely

    "Oh, Jacob…?"Matilda chuckled awkwardly. "Just today, he offered to buy me dinner, but I said I didn't have the time, and I also told him about our wedding… So, we should invite him since he's aware of it.""Jacob offered to buy you dinner?" Yolden exclaimed in surprise. "Did he say why?""Nope," Matilda shrugged, smiling. "Probably just dinner between old classmates."However, she was actually smart enough to guess Jacob's intention even though Jacob was inviting her somewhere near campus. That was why she had also mentioned she was marrying Yolden while turning down Jacob, all so that he would give up on her.After she had managed to get over their past fling completely, she didn't want to give Jacob false hopes before she walked down the aisle.In the same regard, she didn't want to worry Yolden, and therefore, had deliberately discouraged Jacob.Be that as it may, Yolden was smart too.He knew about Matilda and Jacob's past and that her son, Paul's full name was Paul Jam

    Before Charlie had arrived, Jacob was still furious that Matilda would soon marry Yolden.After Charlie came, however, he was instead worried that Matilda would send him a wedding invitation.Meanwhile, Matilda and Yolden were discussing their list of guests.They had different social circles, but most of their friends were Stateside, and they only had some distant relatives in this country.Still, they had colleagues in Aurous Hill. Matilda had classmates too, but she was out of touch with them aside from Jacob, whom she often met.Still, as they discussed who should be invited, Matilda first suggested, "Let's go through everyone. First, our Stateside friends… I don't think we should tell them at all since it's a long journey, and inviting them would seem tactless. What do you think?"Yolden nodded, smiling, "I was just thinking the same thing. We're close with our Stateside friends and always keep in touch, but inviting them to our wedding might be a stretch. We'd just hit a wa

    With that being said, once Matilda was thrown in the mix, Elaine would suddenly become an African honey badger, with every bit of black air force energy that was implied.As such, if Jacob had managed to be brave and take that one step back then, Charlie would have tried to help, stopping Elaine from harassing Jacob or Matilda.However, the reality was that Jacob had to bungle the chance when Matilda offered it to him.That was why the best option was for Jacob to understand that he couldn't get together with Matilda now so that he would feel much better.And since he had always been a coward, Charlie's slight intimidation cleared his head considerably.He then sighed, "Well, that's just life—you don't always get what you want, and you should never try to claim what you couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to choose Matilda over thirty years ago, so not being together now only makes sense.""Now, I can only pray that Elaine never finds out… or at least that things don't get out of h
