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

Previously, Marcus would always be very heartbroken and miserable when he came to The Heaven Springs to look for Albert with the words ‘pathetic jerk’ displayed on his forehead.Every time he came here, all of the guests and even the waiters in The Heaven Springs would always be staring at him and this made him feel extremely humiliated.However, today was different.Albert would finally die today. After tonight, Albert will be completely gone from Aurous Hill! His father, Cain, would replace his legacy then!At that time, Cain would become the next underground mobster boss of Aurous Hill!When that time came, people would also be filled with respect for him and address him as Don Cain!Besides that, Marcus would also finally be able to remove the humiliating scar that he had on his forehead. He would finally be free of the shadow of humiliation that the words ‘pathetic jerk’ on his forehead had left on him during this period of time.Marcus was really very excited when he thoug

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

Jacob was shaking in fright. He urged Morgan as he saw him standing frozen and hesitant, “Morgan, go! If they really attack you, I don’t know how and what to say to your family!”Johnny shouted coldly, “If you don’t want to go, just stay.”Morgan gritted his teeth in agony. After a short hesitant, he turned around and ran out of the suite.Jacob was completely in despair right now, but he was fortunate that Albert was here with him, so he prayed that Albert could handle the tricky situation.Little did he know that Albert was powerless at this moment.If his men were around, they would have barged into the room when these people made such a loud commotion in the Diamond Suite. Since no one had come over, it proved that they had been seriously and fatally injured as stated by these people.Cain glared at Albert in resentment and growled, “Albert Rhodes, today is your day to die!”Then, he turned and said respectfully to Johnny, “Mr. Johnny, please!”Johnny nodded, took a step fo

When Cain and the gang barged into the Diamond Suite, Charlie was on his way to The Heaven Springs, driving Jacob’s BMW.He had not planned to go out so early, but there was an annoyance in the house—Elaine.She couldn’t stop nagging him. First, she nagged about how wasteful Jacob was to have spent twenty grand on dinner instead of cosmetics for her and some mahjong rounds with her friends.Then, she diverted her nagging attention to Charlie, disliking him for not earning a living outside and staying at home mooching off them.She became more and more energetic as she went on her nagging spree, insisting on introducing Charlie to a job as a security guard in the parking lot with a monthly salary of three thousand dollars a month and insisting that he give her all his salary when he received it.Charlie knew that Elaine’s pocket was as clean as a whistle after the scam and that she couldn’t afford any lavish expenses like she used to, so she could only spend most of her time at hom

Charlie chuckled. "Don't sell yourself short, Mr. Hart. There are plenty of business folk who got so used to their comfort zone that they became caught in the illusion that they can be successful in anything they do. It's a mindset that leads to them blindly developing new projects and new competition, and then they end up losing big."If memory serves, there have been real estate businesses that started mineral water brands, search engines that tried the car industry, e-commerce sites attempting social media, and vice-versa. All of them are multi-billion-dollar companies venturing into new frontiers, but all to unimpressive outcomes."Pausing, Charlie then continued, "You've mentioned rising above the competition amidst the development of the new energy industry. That would get anyone's attention, and it is why I believe that you definitely will make a strong impression with your strategizing and knowledge of the basic principles."Yolden found it hard to refuse, seeing that Charli

Having lost it all, Jacob really looked like he wouldn't be getting back up.But fortunately, he had a pillar in the form of Elaine.In fact, Elaine would serve to be a container, whipping Jacob into shape if he got too full of himself.But on the other hand, now that Jacob was utterly despondent, she would be forcing him to smile and function in general.Elaine's attitude to the entire issue was clear as well. Even though Jacob had just lost his job, she would make him go shopping with her in Dubai even if he fell into a coma. Even if he was dead, she'd just cremate him and bring his ashes along.Hence, with Elaine's firm grip around Jacob's leash, he went on strolls, going shopping and taking selfies with Elaine everyday, eventually easing the toll on his mood and spirit.-Back at Aurous Hill, Charlie was preparing for Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall's wedding as it approached.Yolden was a schoolmate of his mother, Ashley Layna Acker, as well as Charlie's elder.And while Cha

"See you." As soon as Charlie hung up on Matilda, Don Albert's call came right after.He sounded nervous as Charlie answered the phone, saying, "Master Wade, I think I might have gone too far…""Wait, what's this about?" Charlie asked."Your father-in-law, of course…" Don Albert sighed. "You asked me to leave him hanging for a while, so I did. I even refused when he asked to book a room in Heaven Springs.""Well, that's not a problem, is it?" Charlie shrugged. "He and Zachary ganged up for some real mischief. As you are Zachary's boss, it's right that you refused him because you didn't appreciate what he did.""That's just it. I thought that approach was just right as well," Don Albert quickly said. "I wasn't playing nice when Mr. Bay of the Calligraphy and Painting Association called me either. That's when he said he'd try to save Jacob's position as vice-president, but I told him it's none of my business."I then hung up on him without much thought, only for Zachary to tell m

Meanwhile, Charlie was downstairs in Claire's office, waiting to pick her up and head home.That was when Matilda called him, asking as soon as he answered, "Charlie, do you know how Jacob is doing? He never answered any of my texts—is he going to be alright?""I wouldn't know," Charlie replied. "Both he and Elaine are in Dubai on a trip… What's wrong?""He resigned," Matilda sighed. "I only saw the public statement that the Calligraphy and Painting Association posted this afternoon. It says that he tendered the resignation himself, but it doesn't really feel that way. I wonder if he's at odds with other members of the association…"Charlie was actually surprised to hear that Jacob had resigned.He had told Zachary to expose the truth of the bronze sculpture fraud case to teach Jacob a lesson so that Jacob would understand the meaning of true pain.However, he anticipated that Mr. Bay would at least keep Jacob around with an unimportant job even if Jacob did lose some money and e

Falling apart in both mind and spirit, Jacob was crying as he disembarked and took a cab to the hotel.Elaine, who had been lying around for 24 hours, was stunned speechless as she watched him enter, crying like a child.In contrast, Elaine looked like a mother to Jacob just then as he threw himself into her arms and bawled, "Darling… That prick Mr. Bay screwed me over… I have nothing left now…"Taken aback for a moment that Jacob would bawl in her arms like that, Elaine soon came to her senses and patted his back as she comforted him, "Oh, stop crying already. Who cares about some Calligraphy and Painting groupies? We certainly don't! Just hear me out and don't ever go there again!"Jacob kept sobbing, "But I care… I want to go…"Annoyed, Elaine's hand that had been patting Jacob a moment ago slid down to his hip and pinched him viciously before he noticed."Ow!" Jacob yelped in pain, and he demanded indignantly, "What was that for?!""Shut up!" Elaine snapped, glowering. "I wa

Jacob couldn't even be bothered by the looks others were giving him, and he called Mr. Bay immediately.Mr. Bay had already gone home and was seated on the couch with his wife, watching his phone and waiting for Jacob to call and demand an explanation.Mr. Bay knew that he had to answer for this and that if he avoided Jacob, it may well be a confession that he had screwed Jacob over.So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to come clean with Jacob.Naturally, by coming clean, he meant passing the buck as his wife had suggested.Hence, as he answered Jacob's call, he immediately sighed in embarrassment, "Hey, Jacob. I'm so sorry about that…"However, Jacob was so furious he immediately started bellowing, "Mr. Bay! Are you fucking with me here?! You said that the resignation letter was more of a formality, but you just made it public instead! So, all those things you said about helping me were just a trap, was it?! You're despicable! And to think I've been so good to you, even

The repeated flights had left Jacob tormented.Even before he actually had the time to enjoy Dubai, he had already gotten sick of the place and didn't want to ever return.And on the flight, he couldn't stop his thoughts from going astray.Now that he was not getting back the money he had lost, his only hope was Mr. Bay.Fortunately, Mr. Bay was serious about his promise that he would at least save him a job as department head. That was why, despite his thoughts running astray, he never considered the thought that he would be kicked out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.As soon as his flight landed, he didn't wait to turn off his phone's flight mode, waiting for the internet connection to return so that he could ask Mr. Bay about the meeting.Once he did, he received a ton of messages from public accounts to acquaintances—many had already found out that he had resigned from the post of administrative vice-president and wanted to ask how he was doing.And Matilda was

The Calligraphy and Painting Association was certainly efficient—soon after the meeting was dismissed, the news that the administrative vice-president had resigned was posted on their official page and social media.The notice was simple and never mentioned what Jacob had done, only that the administrative vice-president had asked to resign for personal reasons. The request had since been voted upon, and all members had agreed to it.And that was how a simple and short message kicked Jacob out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association entirely.In the city, other associations closely connected with the Calligraphy and Painting Association were the various cultural societies and circles of antique enthusiasts and the Senior University. In fact, most fans of the public page of the Calligraphy and Painting Association were from the Senior City, and every lecturer, student, and even guest lecturer were subscribed.As a matter of fact, that was entirely Jacob's doing. After his lect

There weren't that many members in the Calligraphy and Painting Association—just a handful over twenty.Hence, at Mr. Bay's request, everyone showed up at the conference at 1 pm.He chose the afternoon as there were a handful who were away on outreach, including Walker, who was subbing for Jacob's lectures.Once the entire Calligraphy and Painting Association save for Jacob was informed of the mandatory meeting, every member was there on the hour, seated primly and in attention in the huge conference room.Mr. Bay didn't waste his breath on the preamble either—as soon as he saw that everyone had arrived, he announced, "Everyone, I've gathered you here today because our administrative vice-president, Jacob Wilson, has been alleged to be involved in a certain malicious scheme."Last night, Mr. Wilson submitted his resignation to me, and after a discussion with my vice-presidents, we've all decided to hold a vote. It will be open to every member in the association as we will be decid
