Albert said with a smile, “Kobayashi Jiro, you’re pretty quick to catch up on things lately.”Jiro hurriedly trotted over to Albert, bowed at him respectfully, and exclaimed, “Don Albert! I thank you for your recognition! I’ll definitely continue to work hard!”Albert nodded in satisfaction and said, “Well done, Jiro. Seeing as you’ve been doing well lately, I’ll talk to the cooks later and ask them to give you an extra chicken wing every day from now on!”Jiro quickly begged with a coy smile, “Don Albert, c-can you please ask the cook to give me a drumstick instead? I’ve been working a lot every day, but my food rations are minimal. I’ve been a bit malnourished lately…”Albert sneered at Jiro’s withered appearance. “Jiro, you’re good at bargaining.”Jiro hurriedly explained, “Oh no, Don Albert. I don’t mean to bargain with you, please don’t misunderstand. I just feel that I don’t have enough to eat daily…”Albert laughed and nodded. “Alright, I get it. I’ll tell you what, for th
Chapter 2387
The mercury dichloride that had been poured into Edmund’s mouth soon took effect, and he could feel the discomfort and pain slowly surging inside him.He knew that this must be because his kidney functions had begun to deteriorate rapidly!It was only at this point that Edmund truly realized what a big problem he had gotten himself into.Previously, he had used to think that with his status, position, and family background, he could run amuck fearlessly in any corner of the world.After all, the vast majority of things in this world seemed too cheap as compared to his ten-billion-dollar family fortune.He had caused a lot of trouble when he was in the United States, but even if he truly killed someone, he could take care of it with a few million dollars at most, and it would not have caused him any trouble nor consequence at all.If he had poisoned Corwin in the United States and the matter had been exposed, he could immediately get a scapegoat to confess to the matter by spendin
Chapter 2388
The disappearance of Edmund and his entourage did not cause any sensation to Aurous Hill who had a population of nearly 10 million people.Charlie slept like a baby that night. Since Elaine was in charge of breakfast, he was still sound asleep at this moment.Meanwhile, Helen drove alone from the Dunn residence to Curtis’s former house.Ever since she had come to Aurous Hill, she had been dreaming about Curtis every night, especially last night, where she dreamed that she had become Curtis’s wife and that he had taken her away from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill, and they had lived a happy life in the house that was about to be auctioned.It was because of this dream that she couldn’t help but come over to the old courtyard to have another look.Helen parked the car outside the entrance, pushed open the courtyard’s dilapidated iron gate, and stepped inside.At this moment, Curtis’s image occupied her mind so much so she did not even notice that someone was secretly photographing her fr
Chapter 2389
Another scandalous wave erupted in the entire Eastcliff upper-class society over the weekend.Helen Dunn, the wife of Sheldon Schulz, had gone to Aurous Hill while she was still married to Sheldon!Moreover, she had gone to Aurous Hill because of Curtis Wade, who had died nearly two decades ago!What was even more shocking was that Helen was going to participate in the judicial auction next Monday to bid for the old residence where Curtis had lived back then!Did she do it for old time’s sake and the sentimental worth?Did she truly love Curtis that much? Otherwise, how could her feelings for Curtis still remain steadfast, even so many years after his death?Besides, from the photo, she looked very sorrowful and heartbroken. When the camera zoomed in on her beautiful face, two lines of tears could be seen.From Helen’s behavior, Eastcliff’s upper-class society immediately realized that Helen had been madly in love with Curtis even after she had been married to Sheldon for more
Chapter 2390
In Cadfan’s opinion, Sheldon was responsible for a vast majority of the humiliation and suffering that the Schulz family was enduring today!Therefore, Sheldon was not only not a qualified family successor, but he was not even a qualified successor of his bloodline and family name!A family successor was the one who would inherit the entire Schulz family and become the patriarch of the family, whereas the successor of the bloodline carried a broader meaning—as long as he carried the blood of the Schulz family, he was part of the family.Now, Cadfan felt that Sheldon was not only unqualified to become the family patriarch, but he was also not qualified to inherit the family’s bloodline!He said in an angry and cold voice, “Steven! Call Sheldon now! Tell him to stop Helen from participating in the auction next Monday by all means! I will never allow that woman to humiliate the Schulz family and make us the laughingstock of Eastcliff and the entire country!”Steven was over the moon
Chapter 2391
“What?!”Sheldon was so infuriated that he felt himself going out of control, and he cursed angrily, “Helen is too much! What does she take me for?!”“Yes, Sheldon!” Steven hurriedly added fuel to the fire and said, “Helen and you are not divorced yet after all. She has gone too far by rekindling her past love with a man from the Wade family who has been dead for 20 years!”Sheldon ground his teeth in fury and said, “Steven, this is between me and her. Stop poking your nose into this!”Although Sheldon was angry and dissatisfied with Helen’s current behavior, he was still wise enough to tell right from wrong. He knew very well that Steven had called him with a malicious intention! He wanted to piss him off, but on the other hand, he also wanted to drive a wedge between Helen and him! This was why he couldn’t talk to Steven nicely.Steven deliberately heaved a long regretful sigh and huffed, “Hey, Sheldon! Helen is your wife! You have to do something about it! The very least you ca
Chapter 2392
Steven was overjoyed that his provocation had worked, yet he donned a solemn expression and said indignantly into the phone, “Sheldon, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that Father is responsible for all of this? Let me tell you! Father did everything for our family and to wipe your sorry *ss who had an illegitimate daughter! If you hadn’t screwed around and gotten Rosalie, how would we be in this situation today?”Infuriated, Sheldon roared out of anger, “Shut the f*ck up!”The enraged Steven yelled back, “You shut the f*ck up!”Sheldon was rendered speechless at this point, while Cadfan was looking gloomier.Steven continued his provocation, “Sheldon! I’m not calling to argue with you, and I don’t want to. I just want to advise you to come to terms with reality!”Sheldon asked unhappily, “What reality?”Steven said coldly, “The first reality is that Helen does not respect our family at all!”Then, he continued aggressively, “The second reality is that despite being marr
Chapter 2393
In Cadfan’s eyes, he was the only person who could embarrass the Schulz family or make the Schulz family lose their image and reputation. No one else could have this privilege!He was the one who had decided to betray Rosalie. Although he had managed to push the blame onto Sheldon and forced him to shoulder all the responsibility for it, the Schulz family had still lost face because of this. However, instead of doing any self-reflection on himself, he continued acting freely as he liked while keeping a tight rein on everyone else without giving them any freedom at all.Even though Helen was not officially divorced from Sheldon yet, Sheldon was the one who had derailed their marriage first. Even if Helen was going to cheat on her marriage just like Sheldon had, the Schulz family would have absolutely no right to criticize her, let alone criticize her for wanting to buy an old mansion that Curtis used to live in.However, Cadfan did not think that way.He felt that even though his so
