Elaine, who suddenly had a flash of inspiration, realized almost immediately that the feasibility of this idea that she had come up with was very high. Hannah was a very popular internet celebrity now, and she always had tens of thousands of people online in her live broadcast room. Sometimes, the number of viewers in her live broadcast room could even reach twenty to thirty thousand. If Elaine could expose such a popular anchor, she would definitely be able to attract a lot of attention from viewers. Moreover, even if Elaine could not gain any fans, income, or benefits, she was still extremely willing to expose Hannah. Not to mention if she would not get any benefits, but if someone told Elaine to pay a hundred thousand dollars in exchange for Hannah’s ruin and poverty, Elaine would definitely clench her teeth and fork out the one hundred thousand dollars. It was because of this that she felt that her idea was simply equivalent to killing two birds with one stone and was absol
Elaine was scared out of her wits, and her first thought was to run away.However, she thought of how she was still limping on one leg and could not outrun the three of them no matter what it was.If she shouted and called her son-in-law for help now, she might startle Hannah, who was broadcasting live upstairs. If Hannah found out that she was sneaking around her villa, Hannah might be able to guess her intentions. Wouldn’t she lose the opportunity to expose her if Hannah started to be wary of her?Elaine’s mind was racing, and her eyes were also twitching non-stop.When Jennifer saw Elaine’s shifty eyes and how she did not say a word even after a long time, she stepped forward immediately, grabbed Elaine by the collar, then slapped her as she said angrily, “I feel so annoyed when I see you. Get out of this place!”Elaine felt both angry and afraid after getting slapped, but she then saw that the three of them were all wearing identical T-shirts with the logo of the same cleani
“Hannah Queen?!”Jennifer frowned immediately when she heard this and asked sternly, “How can someone like her turn their lives around? Could it be that she is using her appearance to sleep with others?!” Elaine sneered and said, “Selling her body with her appearance? Someone like her?! I estimate that someone like her who sells her body with her appearance will only get two steamed buns in exchange, at most!”After saying that, Elaine looked around and then looked upstairs before hurriedly saying, “Jennifer, this is not the place to talk. Let’s go over there and talk. Don’t let the Wilson family who’s upstairs hear us!”Jennifer immediately winked at her buddies. Yulia instantly understood and stepped forward to assist Elaine. They quickly walked toward the far edge of the fence. When Elaine saw that there was no longer any need to worry about being heard by the Wilson family, she stopped them and said, “Let’s talk here, then!”Jennifer was the first to stop in her tracks when
With that said, she raised the bowl of rice she was holding in her hand to the camera and presented, “Thanks to this nutritional rice cereal company who knows of my family’s difficulties, they sent us a batch of nutritional rice cereal. My husband has recovered a lot ever since he started eating this rice cereal.”Christopher also cooperated with her and opened his mouth to yell as he desperately raised his neck to reach for the rice spoon in her hand. Hannah quickly fed a spoonful of rice to him and continued, “This nutritional rice cereal has five flavors, and you can eat it after adding boiling water to it. It contains all kinds of nutrients needed by the human body. Adults will gain enough nutrition daily by drinking three sachets a day, and it is made of raw green and organic materials. In addition, they also specially added a variety of vitamins, amino acids, and DHA needed by the human body. There are twelve sachets in a box, and it usually sells for 108 dollars in the market
Although Elaine was not really a smart person, she definitely had a lot of tricks up her sleeves. She had long thought of a way of exposing Hannah, but she suffered from inconvenience because of her broken leg, and the risk was too great when she was alone.However, the situation was completely different after Jennifer and the other two joined her. The three of them lived under the same roof as Hannah’s family every day, and these three people were strong. Therefore, it would be much more convenient for them to climb up and down compared to Elaine. So, she hurriedly called the three of them to the front and whispered her plan to them in detail.After hearing Elaine’s plan, the three of them also felt that the plan was highly feasible, so Jennifer patted her chest and said, “Don’t worry, Elaine. You can leave this matter to us. We will definitely do it according to your requirements.”Having said that, she added, “But you have to promise us that you must also keep your word and b
Jennifer then said to her buddies beside her, “You should also add Elaine as a friend so that it will be easier for us to communicate with each other in the future.”Elaine said without hesitation, “That’s really great. I’ll create a group chat immediately and add the four of us to the group chat. We can communicate in the group chat directly if there’s any news in the future.”Soon, the four of them started getting to work with the birth of a WhatsApp group chat called ‘Eliminate Hannah Queen to Eliminate Harm for the Society’.Elaine then returned home on crutches whereas Jennifer and the others walked back to their villa immediately. After arriving below the villa, Jennifer looked up at the room on the second floor and said to the other two in a low voice, “They really closed the windows and doors. I’ll climb up to their balcony on the second floor to see if I can take pictures or videos from outside, but our windows here have really good soundproofing. Even if I can take video
Harold did not dare to retort after he was reprimanded by Hannah. He could only nod resentfully and concur, “Mom, you’re right. I was too self-righteous...”Hannah snorted coldly and continued rebuking, “Besides, I also told you that you only have one task tonight. You have to shed some tears when you thank the viewers in the live broadcast after the live broadcast is over. But why didn’t I see any tears from you when you spoke just now? Where are your tears?”Harold said nervously, “Mom... I-I couldn’t cry when I thought about how easily you could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars again tonight...”Hannah scolded angrily, “Useless! You have to cry even if you can’t cry! If you don’t move those people in the live broadcast room and make them think that they are being very noble, how can they be willing to spend their money on us, then?! The selection in our live broadcast room is all cheap and worthless goods with a selling price that is several times higher than its cost price.
With that said, Christopher smacked his lips and sighed emotionally as he said, “But this rice cereal is really f*cking unpalatable. It doesn’t leave any fragrance in your mouth after you eat it, and it even tastes a little bitter. Would it cost the manufacturers a lot to use some good materials?” Hannah raised her hand and slapped him, stunning him.Christopher was about to ask her why she had done that when Hannah then said impatiently, “Who the hell are you to call me your honey?! Weren’t you the one who slapped me, forced me to get a divorce with you, and asked me to get out of this house?”Christopher was taken aback and hurriedly said, “Oh, Honey, it’s all my fault! I was blind and didn’t know how to cherish a good wife like you. If I mention divorce to you again, I will be struck to death by lightning!” Hannah laughed coldly and said, “Oh, Christopher, your attitude really changes very quickly! What did you say at the beginning? You said that I cuckolded you, got pregnant
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…
