At this time, on the other end of the line, Janice suddenly let out a very strange scream. This made Max feel as though all the blood in his body was rushing straight down.This sound was very familiar to him. Wasn’t this the sound that a woman made when she was at her happiest because she was experiencing an orgasm?Joey felt very distressed at this time and he said, “My dear, you should stop twisting your body since you’re feeling so much discomfort now. You should stop practicing now. I will feel very distressed if your injury gets worse.”Janice groaned unbearably before she hurriedly asked, “Joey, is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up now. I…I’m still practicing and I can’t pause because I am at the most critical moment right now. Otherwise, everything would be in vain if I stopped right now…”Joey hurriedly said proudly, “Janice, I want to tell you a piece of good news! A good friend of mine is helping me to make some money. He can introduce me
Joey hurriedly replied, “We’ve known each other for three years and we’ve already been together for two years now.”Max asked again, “Then, how did you two meet each other?”Joey smiled before he said, “At that time, I wanted to join a company but I needed to ask someone to help me to do something so that I can get into the company. However, he wanted me to bring him two Treasurer Gold premium cigarettes.”“I found out that the Treasurer Gold cigarettes are really expensive. One of it would already cost a few hundred dollars and two of the Treasurer Gold premium cigarettes would already cost me more than one thousand dollars. Therefore, I decided to search online to see if I could find anyone selling it at a cheaper price. Who would have known that I would really find someone selling those cigarettes at a cheaper price! It was Janice! She sold her Treasurer Gold premium cigarettes for only two hundred dollars each!”Max could not help but feel extremely awkward after listening to J
When the heartless Max left Joey’s dormitory, he suddenly felt a little guilty towards him.He felt that even though people like Joey were really hateful, he was also very pitiful at the same time.He was an orphan with no father or mother. Moreover, he had not achieved anything in his life even after working hard for so many years. In the end, he had even found a girlfriend who was nothing but a shrewd woman.What would Joey feel if he found out that his girlfriend was actually enjoying sexual intimacy with another man when she scolded and cursed at him when he called her earlier? Moreover, Joey has just handed all of his assets over to Max.He even took up a loan of more than five hundred thousand dollars from loan sharks who practiced usury.In one weeks’ time, Joey would have to repay at least one million dollars for all of his loans.After a month, he would be owing them several millions in debt.When that time comes, he would certainly be very desperate with nowhere else
Aside from Stephanie and Mrs. Lewis, Harvey was the first person who gave a toast to Charlie to thank him for the donation that he made to the orphanage.The other people were all only toasting him, not because of the money that he had donated to the orphanage, but simply because they had found out that he seemed to be a wealthy person.These were two completely different starting points. Those who rushed forward to toast him for the donation that he had made to the orphanage really cared about the orphanage. On the other hand, those people who were simply giving him a toast were only doing so because they wanted to build up a relationship with him.After all, for all these people here today, anyone who could easily donate one million dollars to the orphanage at will would not be any simple or ordinary person. This has already far exceeded their understanding.Charlie and Harvey drank the glass of wine together. Harvey sighed sincerely as he said, “Charlie, I’m really very happy to
When Harvey saw that Charlie was showing his affection for Claire by holding her hand, he felt very gratified for his good brother.Therefore, he hurriedly poured another glass of wine for Charlie before he said, “Come, my dear brother Charlie, let me offer a toast to you two. I hope that both of you will be able to have a better and even more loving relationship! I wish for both of you to have a child soon!”Claire started blushing all of a sudden and she felt very embarrassed when she heard Harvey asking them to have a child soon.Charlie smiled before he said, “Thank you, brother! I will definitely work hard!”Claire felt even more embarrassed at this time. She continued holding Charlie’s hand with one hand before she placed one hand under the table as she pinched Charlie’s inner thigh.Charlie winced in pain but he did not dare to scream out loud. So, he hurriedly picked up his wine glass before he said to Harvey, “Come, let’s drink this glass of wine together!”After drinkin
If this had happened half an hour ago, everyone would have thought that Charlie was simply bragging.However, at this time, everyone knew that this matter was probably true since Charlie said so.Charlie smiled indifferently before he told Harvey, “Although I don’t share a deep friendship with Chairman Lane, we’re still acquaintances after all. I believe that he’ll definitely give me face on account of that.”After that, Charlie took out his cell phone before he looked for Travis’s phone number and called directly.After a short while, the phone call was connected.Travis was very surprised when he answered the call. He said, “Master Wade, why are you so free to call me today?”Charlie smiled lightly before he said, “Chairman Lane, it has already been a long time since we’ve seen each other.”Travis hurriedly replied, “Oh, I haven’t been back to Aurous Hill at all during this period of time. Otherwise, I would definitely have come over to say hello to you, Master Wade!”Charlie
After hanging up on Travis's call, Charlie told Harvey who was standing in front of him, “I’ve already greeted Chairman Lane on your behalf. He told me that he’ll transfer you over to the company headquarters to become his assistant.”Harvey and their table full of friends were all stunned.Everyone has already heard Travis’s name before. He was a super rich and wealthy man who had a net worth of more than ten billion dollars!Moreover, becoming the assistant of a super wealthy man with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars was not just an ordinary job. It was completely impossible for any ordinary person to be given this extraordinary opportunity.At the very least, the person would have to graduate with a PhD from a prestigious university or even have similar work experiences in many large companies and corporations to even be considered for the position by a wealthy man such as Travis.Everyone knew of Harvey’s situation and background very well.Both Harvey and Charlie w
This sentence shocked everyone on the spot.An annual salary of two million dollars a year? How is that any different from robbing the bank?Besides that, was Charlie really this capable? He could actually turn Harvey’s annual salary to two million dollars with just one phone call?At this moment, the other party smiled over the phone before she said, “This was decided by Chairman Lane. Since he decided it like this, then he must have his reasons for doing so. I believe that Chairman Lane does not think that this salary is too high for you.”After she was done speaking, the other party said again, “Mr. Carver, I will see you next week then. This is my cell phone number. Please give me a phone call when you come to report for work and I will come and receive you myself!”After that, the other party hung up the phone when she was done speaking.Harvey held his cell phone in his hand with a blank expression on his face. He felt as though his brain had just been electrocuted.Scott
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
