“How could that be possible?” Carmen blurted, “Dad, it must be because you have not seen Charlie for too many years, and this is the reason why you are still thinking so highly of him now. Let me tell you the truth, Dad. Charlie is nothing more than a little gangster from an obscure and poor place now! Both Sophie and Quinn are talented and wealthy young ladies. How could they possibly be interested in him?!”Jeremiah replied coldly, “I met Yule at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. I asked him if he still remembers that there is a marriage contract between Charlie and his daughter, Quinn. At that time, Yule told me on the spot that as long as I can find Charlie, he would certainly marry his daughter to Charlie without any hesitation at all!”“Also, Yule even said that Charlie’s current status or identity would not matter to him at all. Even if Charlie is a beggar out on the streets, he would still be the future son-in-law of the Golding family. Their family had already come to a con
Elaine smiled as she said, “Oh! That is truly a coincidence, then. It seems as though God really wants to make it up to me and let me enjoy myself today!”After that, she waved her hand at the clerk as she said, “Okay, you can go out first. I will take the bath by myself. You can ask the beautician to get ready and wait for me.”“Okay!”After the employee came out, she hurriedly reported everything to her boss.When the boss heard that Elaine was already there, he hurriedly called Harold and said, “Harold, she is already here and taking a bath. When are you guys coming over?”Harold replied excitedly, “That is simply perfect! Ben, you have to make sure that you keep her there. Do not slip up and let her discover that something is amiss! I will get ready to go over there right now!”The boss of the beauty salon smiled as he said, “Harold, both of us are just like brothers. Since I have already made a promise to you, I will definitely get things done perfectly!”“Great!” Harold sm
The employee did not know how to reply to Carmen’s sudden question.After all, her boss had already made it very clear that they were not going to entertain any other guests in the morning today. Therefore, she knew that no matter what it was, she should not let anyone else enter the shop today.So, she hurriedly said, “I am sorry, madam, but we are really not serving any other customers in the morning today. The reason why Miss Elaine can receive her spa treatment is because she had already made an appointment in advance. I am truly sorry.”Carmen was so angry that she was about to explode out of rage.The fact that she would actually step into such a shabby and rundown beauty salon was already a miracle. However, she never would have expected that the employee would actually try to stop her from entering the beauty salon!At this time, Carmen said angrily, “You refuse to let me enter, right? Do you believe that this beauty salon will not be able to continue operating in the futu
Carmen replied, “I am here to look for Elaine, who came to do a treatment at your beauty salon earlier. I have something to discuss with her in private.”As soon as the boss heard that she was not here to spend money, the expression on his face darkened immediately, and he said in annoyance, “If you are not here to experience our services, please leave immediately. If you are looking for someone to discuss some matters with her in private, you should look for the right place to do so. I do not provide such services here.”Carmen glanced at her bodyguard, and her bodyguard immediately took out fifty thousand dollars from his small suitcase and placed it on the counter.When the salon boss saw the money, he suddenly had a very flattering and humble attitude as he smiled and said, “Madam, what kind of service would you like me to provide you with?”Carmen replied coldly, “Bring me to see Elaine. I want to chat with Elaine in private. It will not take too long, and I will take about th
As she thought about this, Carmen stuffed the one billion dollars cheque back into her wallet.She felt as though she would have been taken advantage of if she spent one billion dollars just to bribe a cheap woman like Elaine. She felt that one hundred million dollars would already be more than enough.Therefore, she took out her checkbook and wrote a cheque for one hundred million dollars instead.She planned to use the cheque for one hundred million dollars to entice Elaine directly so that Elaine would force her daughter to divorce Charlie as soon as she got home. This way, she would have already accomplished half of the mission that she had to get done in Aurous Hill this time.After writing the cheque for one hundred million dollars, Carmen took out a Hermes silk scarf from her bag and placed it on the sofa before sitting down.At this time, Elaine was still happily soaking in the bathtub.In truth, Elaine was already done washing up a long time ago. The reason why she refus
Carmen frowned as she spoke to the employee in a very arrogant manner, “Alright, then. You can just leave first. I will talk to her now.”The employee immediately left the room as though she had just received amnesty, and she hurriedly closed the door behind her.Elaine stared at Carmen vigilantly before she asked coldly, “Hey! Who are you?”Carmen replied indifferently, “You do not deserve to know who I am.”Elaine spat before she said, “My ass! Where did this d*mn old lady come from?! Why are you showing off and being so pretentious in front of me? Do you really think that you are that great just because you are dressed so colorfully while carrying a fake Hermes bag?!”Carmen could not help but yell angrily, “What did you say?! I am wearing a catwalk overcoat that has been customized by Chanel’s top designer just for me! My Hermes bag is also the top and most expensive limited-edition bag! The clothes that I am wearing right now is already worth at least fifty million dollars!”
Elaine was dumbfounded, and she looked at Carmen before she blurted out in disbelief, “What did you just say? This cheque is worth one hundred million dollars?!”When Carmen saw the shocked expression on Elaine’s face, she said sarcastically, “Just look at the expression on your face. You look like someone who has not seen much of this world before. You have never seen a cash cheque from Citibank before, right? Someone like you will never be able to have the opportunity to see such a large cash cheque in your life!”The expression on Elaine’s face became very dark and gloomy in an instant.Carmen thought that she had completely subdued Elaine, and she smiled in satisfaction.She waved the cheque in her hand as she laughed and said arrogantly, “Do you want this cheque? If you want it, you’d better listen to me and persuade your daughter to divorce Charlie!”Elaine suddenly had a very angry and annoyed expression on her face.Carmen could not figure out why this woman’s expression
“F*ck you!” Elaine rushed toward Carmen in rage before she sat down directly on Carmen’s stomach. Elaine started slapping Carmen’s face, one hand after the other, in quick succession as she cursed, “Do you really take me for a fool? I have already fallen for this trick once! You still dare to come and cheat me now?!”At this time, Elaine had thought of the time when Jacob had been hospitalized. She wanted to get her hands on the cheque that her daughter had received as a refund for the rental of the office building. After Charlie had handed the cheque over to her, she had quickly taken the cheque with her to pay for the hospitalization fees.Unexpectedly, the denomination of that cheque had turned out to be one hundred million dollars!At that time, the cashier at the hospital had ridiculed her and even threatened to call the police to get her arrested.In the end, Elaine had gone back to Charlie in a rage, planning to settle the score with him. Ultimately, she had found out that C
