CHAPTER 1886 THAT'S ILLEGAL
Charlie nodded and said, "Alright, Mom, you go take care of your business first."
Elaine hurriedly smiled and said, "Okay, okay! I'll go out first, and if anything happens, you can call me!"
"Okay."
Charlie didn't think much of it, after all, Elaine was a grown adult, and it was normal for her to go out.
......
Noah was watching Charlie's house from his own room's balcony, his eyes fixed intently on the door.
When he saw Elaine rushing out, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth in a cold smile.
He quickly went downstairs and told Harold, "Harold, Elaine has left! How's the preparation going with your friends?"
Harold smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, I've got everything ready. I'll make sure Elaine has no way to come back!"
Noah hurriedly said, "Come on, let's go over the entire plan again, and see if there are any loopholes!"
Wendy and Madam Wilson also gathered around, their faces filled with anticipation, waiting for Harold to continue.
Harold proudly said, "Firstly, the beauty salon card that was sent to Elaine earlier, the salon is called Lizi Beauty Salon, and the owner is an old friend of mine. He's been having trouble with the business and wants to sell it, but due to the current economic situation, he can't find a buyer."
Noah waved his hand, "Get to the point!"
Harold hurriedly said, "Don't rush, Dad! I need to explain the entire plan to you!"
Noah nodded, "Okay, go on."
Harold continued, "My friend is struggling to keep the business afloat and wants to take advantage of the New Year's holiday when people are busy with family gatherings to abscond with the funds. I told him that if he cooperates with me, I'll give him 200,000 yuan. He's willing to do it since he's going to run away anyway, and he can earn some extra money before he leaves."
Wendy asked anxiously, "Brother, are you planning to trap Elaine at the beauty salon?"
Harold nodded, "Yes! The salon has a back door, and when Elaine goes in for her spa treatment, I'll arrange for the technician to put a sedative in her water. Once she falls asleep, we'll drive to the back door, tie her up, and take her away without anyone noticing!"
Zoraida asked, "Harold, what do you plan to do with Elaine after you're done with her?"
Harold said, "I haven't thought that far, what do you guys think?"
Zoraida immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Find a coal mine and send her to dig coal!"
Harold awkwardly said, "I don't know anyone who runs a coal mine!"
Wendy blurted out, "Then send her to Africa to grow sugarcane! I heard there are many illegal immigrants there who are stuck in the sugarcane fields for life!"
Harold coughed awkwardly, "Wendy, that's illegal human trafficking, I don't have those connections!"
Zoraida got anxious and blurted out, "Harold, are you just going to find someone to sleep with Elaine, take some photos, and then let her go? That's too easy on her!"
Noah, despite his dislike for Zoraida, nodded in agreement, "Yes! Just finding someone to sleep with Elaine might even let her get away with it!"
Madam Wilson thought for a moment and said, "We're doing this to help Donald vent his anger. Why don't you call Donald and ask if he has any friends who run a coal mine? We can arrange for Elaine to go dig coal!"
CHAPTER 1887 HUMILIATE CHARLIE
Donald's recent life has been a complete mess.
His eldest son, Xander, is still recovering from his injuries at home, and his second son, Quintin, has shown no signs of improvement, with his treatment almost given up.
To make matters worse, Donald's wife, Alison, is now seeking a divorce from him.
The main reason for the divorce is still the death of Kobi and his wife.
Alison feels that Donald failed to protect his brother and didn't even bother to find out who killed him.
In Alison's eyes, what's even more unforgivable is that Donald not only didn't avenge his brother's death but also constantly insults him at home, as if he's still alive.
Donald, of course, is furious with Kobi.
In his opinion, it was Kobi who completely ruined the Weaver family's reputation, causing their business value to plummet due to the damage to their reputation.
From being the top family in South Laverton, they can't even make it to the top ten now.
What's even more unbearable for him is that his wife doesn't appreciate his efforts and instead blames him for everything!
She's still not satisfied with his brother's excessive pampering, which led to the Weaver family's downfall, and now she's blaming him, which is simply unreasonable!
As a result, the couple has been stuck in a long-term cold war.
Originally, Donald was very fond of his wife, but now he doesn't even bother to talk to her, pouring all his energy into his business instead.
The current Donald has only one thought in his mind: to find a way to restore the Weaver family's glory!
Coincidentally, he's been working on a real estate project in Aurous Hill, so he came to Aurous Hill early in the morning to inspect the site.
Just as he arrived at the project site, he received a call from Noah.
Over the phone, Noah spoke in a flattering tone, saying, "Hello, Mr. Weaver! It's been a long time since we last met!"
Donald replied indifferently, "Noah, what's the purpose of your call?"
Noah laughed nervously and said, "Mr. Weaver, with the New Year approaching, our family is thinking of taking action against Charlie's mother-in-law, Elaine. We plan to find someone to take care of her first and then release some compromising photos and videos online to humiliate Charlie's family!"
Donald's interest was piqued, and his voice rose slightly, "Oh? Noah, did I hear that right? Your family is finally taking action against Charlie?"
Noah spoke awkwardly, "Mr. Weaver, we didn't have a solid plan before, so we didn't take any action. But don't worry, we'll make sure to handle this matter perfectly this time!"
With a hint of resentment in his tone, Noah added, "I heard Charlie has a nickname, 'True Heavenly Dragon Among Men,' in Aurous Hill. I'd love to see if he can still hold his head high after his mother-in-law is taken care of!"
Donald chuckled and said, "Not bad, not bad! If you can pull this off, I won't disappoint you."
Noah's heart skipped a beat with excitement, and he quickly asked, "By the way, Mr. Weaver, do you know the owner of the Black Coal Kiln? If you do, that would be great. After we take care of Elaine, we can send her directly to the Black Coal Kiln!"
CHAPTER 1888 TOIL AWAY
Donald thought for a moment and said, "There aren't many coal mines in the south, so I don't really know anyone who opens a coal kiln."
As he said this, he suddenly remembered something and laughed, "However, I do have a childhood friend whose family runs a brick factory. The work at the brick factory is just as tough as, if not tougher than, the coal kiln. It's perfect for sending Charlie's mother-in-law there to toil away!"
Noah immediately burst out laughing and said, "Ah, Mr. Weaver, this is fantastic! A woman like her deserves to be sent to a brick factory to suffer!"
After saying this, he quickly asked, "Mr. Weaver, would you be willing to share your friend's address with me? I'll make sure to send her there after we're done with Elaine."
Donald coldly laughed and said, "I have a deep grudge against Charlie, and now that I've just arrived in Aurous Hill, I wouldn't miss this opportunity for the world. You go ahead and bind her, and then give me the address. I'll go there to witness it myself!"
Noah hastily agreed, "Don't worry, Mr. Weaver, I'll make sure to get it done perfectly. I'll call you when it's time for you to come and witness it!"
Donald nodded and said, "Alright, I have other things to attend to. You can call me when you're done."
"Okay, Mr. Weaver!"
As soon as Noah hung up the phone, he excitedly told his family, "Mr. Weaver said he has a friend who runs a brick factory. After we're done with Elaine, we can send her there to toil away for the rest of her life!"
Zoraida felt a pang of jealousy upon hearing this and said, "I was sent to a coal kiln, so why should Elaine get to go to a brick factory? That's too good for her!"
Noah glared at her and said, "You don't understand anything! The brick factory is even more brutal than the coal kiln. The coal kiln may be dirty and tiring, but at least it's warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The brick factory, on the other hand, is a year-round furnace, and the physical labor is much more demanding. Overall, the brick factory is a much harsher place than the coal kiln!"
Zoraida felt a bit better after hearing this.
However, she still had a question she wanted to ask, but she swallowed her words.
She could only think to herself, "I wonder if Elaine will meet a lecherous supervisor at the brick factory. If she does, that would be perfect. Maybe she'll even get sick and pregnant!"
......
At this moment, in the presidential suite of the Shangri-La Hotel.
Marina was on the phone, reporting to her father, Claudius.
On the phone, she described Charlie as a person with a bad temper, low moral character, and no education, constantly emphasizing to Claudius, "Dad, Charlie has never received any education, and his moral character is extremely low. You can't let him come back to the Wade family, or else our family's reputation will be ruined!"
Claudius listened to her exaggerated report, and calmly said, "Marina, I thought you were smart, but it seems you're easily swayed by emotions. I'm really disappointed in you!"
Marina immediately became anxious and asked, "Dad, what did I do wrong?"
Claudius coldly said, "You still don't understand why I want Charlie to come back, do you?"
Marina awkwardly said, "Dad, I really don't understand. If Charlie's moral character is so low, shouldn't we be distancing ourselves from him instead?"
Claudius snorted and said, "What I want now is for any one of my grandsons to go and marry Camilla from the Salvador family or Haidee from the Snow family. It seems that only Charlie has the best chance of doing so!"
CHAPTER 1889 GONE MAD
"How is that possible!"
Marina blurted out, "Dad, you haven't seen Charlie for many years, so you're thinking too highly of him. Let me tell you the truth, Charlie is now just a poor, insignificant guy in a rural area! Whether it's Camilla or Haidee, they're both renowned beauties in Eastcliff, how could they possibly look up to him?"
Claudius spoke coldly, "Yesterday, I met Geraldo at the Chamber of Commerce, and I asked him if he still remembered the marriage agreement between his daughter and Charlie. He told me straight away that as long as they could find Charlie, he would definitely let his daughter marry him without hesitation!"
"Moreover, Geraldo also said that no matter what identity Charlie has now, even if he's just a beggar on the streets, he's still the future son-in-law of the Snow family, and this has been a family consensus for a long time!"
Marina's eyes widened in shock, "What era are we living in? Has Geraldo gone mad?"
Claudius's tone turned stern, "I don't care if Geraldo has gone mad or not, you shouldn't worry about it either. Your task now is to think of every possible way to get Charlie to come back for the New Year!"
Marina had no choice but to reluctantly say, "Dad, to be honest, Charlie was too much yesterday, so I lost my temper and had a big fight with him. He didn't even eat dinner and just stormed off."
"Rubbish!" Claudius shouted, "Don't think I don't understand you, with your way of doing things, who knows who was in the wrong?"
After that, Claudius continued, "I don't care about anything else, just make sure to bring Charlie back to me! If he's not willing to come back, then think of other ways to get him to!"
Marina hastily asked, "Other ways? What ways?"
Claudius said, "He has a wife in Aurous Hill, doesn't he? You can try to find a breakthrough through his wife or his in-laws."
Marina immediately said, "Then I'll go find his wife and give her some money to get her to divorce Charlie!"
Claudius said, "Don't go find his wife, you can try to work on his mother-in-law first. I heard she's very greedy and loves money."
Marina hurriedly said, "Dad, then I'll think of a way to find a breakthrough through his mother-in-law!"
"Okay!" Claudius reminded him, "When you meet his mother-in-law, don't reveal your true identity, or else if those cunning people find out that Charlie is from the Wade family in Eastcliff, they won't let their daughter divorce him even if you kill them."
"Got it, Dad!"
Marina quickly agreed and then immediately took out his phone to call his bodyguard, instructing him to find out where Charlie's mother-in-law was and to arrange a meeting.
Elaine rushed to the beauty salon, feeling a bit uneasy as she showed her coupon card, worried that others might think it was fake or couldn't be used.
But she didn't expect the staff to be very polite, saying, "Welcome, ma'am! Your coupon card can be used at any time, and you don't need to make an appointment. Do you want to experience it now?"
Elaine was thrilled, saying, "Of course! I came all the way here, I wouldn't just ask you a question, would I? Hurry up and arrange a technician for me, I want to fully experience it now!"
The staff nodded and respectfully said, "Ma'am, our full-body SPA requires a bath first, I'll take you to the bathroom to change, and then arrange a technician to give you a massage."
Elaine was overjoyed, knowing the process of high-end SPA services. First, she would soak in a flower petal and milk bath, then change into the disposable underwear provided by the salon, and finally receive a full-body massage from the technician.
Elaine happily followed the staff to the bathroom, finding that the water was already prepared, with milk, flower petals, and bath salts added. She laughed and said, "Wow, your service is really top-notch! You've even prepared the water before I arrived!"
CHAPTER 1890 NOT TAKING CUSTOMERS
The shop assistant thought Elaine had noticed something unusual and hastily explained, "Ah, yes, well, we originally had a customer booked for a spa treatment, but they suddenly said they couldn't make it due to an emergency, so you're in luck and can take advantage of the prepared bath."
Elaine laughed and said, "Wow, what a coincidence! It seems like fate is on my side, letting me indulge in some relaxation!"
After finishing her sentence, she waved her hand at the shop assistant, saying, "That's all, you can go now. I'll take care of my bath, and let the technician prepare everything for me."
"Okay!"
As soon as the shop assistant left, they rushed to report to the boss.
The boss, upon hearing that Elaine had arrived, quickly called Harold and said, "Harold, the person is already here, taking a bath. When are you coming over?"
Harold exclaimed excitedly, "That's great! Old friend, you must keep her occupied, don't let her notice anything suspicious. I'll get ready and head over right away!"
The beauty salon's boss chuckled and said, "Harold, we're old buddies, and since I've promised you, I'll definitely make sure this goes smoothly!"
"Okay!" Harold laughed and said, "I'll be there in half an hour!"
After that, Harold added, "Old friend, make sure your shop doesn't take any other customers in the morning, just in case something goes wrong."
"Don't worry, we won't take any other customers in the morning. We'll only serve you!"
Just as Elaine was comfortably soaking in the bathtub, a Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of the beauty salon.
A tall, muscular bodyguard stepped out of the passenger seat, opened the rear door, and out came Marina, dressed in luxurious attire.
She glanced at the beauty salon's facade and sneered, "What a rundown beauty salon! It looks so shabby and low-class!"
In reality, the beauty salon's decor was quite decent, although not exactly high-end. However, in Aurous Hill, it was still a luxury that not every ordinary housewife could afford.
But for someone like Marina, a top-tier rich second-generation heir, this place was indeed beneath her.
The money she spent on a single beauty treatment at a high-end salon could buy this entire beauty salon.
The bodyguard whispered, "Miss, the woman you're looking for is inside, getting a beauty treatment. She arrived about ten minutes ago."
Marina nodded, her expression filled with disdain, and said, "Let's go in."
"Okay!"
The bodyguard led the way, pushing open the beauty salon's door.
The shop assistant rushed over, apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, we're not taking customers in the morning."
Marina frowned, her tone laced with disgust, "Not taking customers? But didn't a woman named Elaine just come in for a spa treatment? How can you suddenly stop serving customers when I arrive?"
...
