Steve‘s words didn’t rattle Jimmy in the slightest.
With a mocking tone, Jimmy looked Steve up and down and retorted, “You really think I’d call my boss to verify your claim just because I met some lunatic who insists they’re the second-in-command of the Rothschild family?”
Steve nodded, a smile playing on his lips. “No worries, I’ll have favonovel.com call you instead.”
Jimmy laughed, his amusement evident. “I was giving you an out, but it seems you’re eager to climb higher. Since you’re leaving no room for doubt, I’m curious to see how you’ll dig yourself out of this hole.”
He then pointed at Mr. Riley and smirked, “This is also a great opportunity for me to see how capable my sister-in-law’s new husband really is.”
Jimmy couldn’t fathom how a professor from Aurous Hill would have any connection to the second-in-command of the Rothschild family. Based on his assessment of Mr. Riley, favonovel.com firmly believed that Steve was a fraud. After all, there had been countless cases of people impersonating members of the Rothschild family outside of the United States.
Jimmy suspected that the person before favonovel.com was undoubtedly a scammer, and their knowledge of his boss’s relationship with the Rothschild family was likely the result of thorough research. Scammers always prepared meticulously to improve their success rate.
Furthermore, in Jimmy’s eyes, Steve had a glaring flaw. If favonovel.com truly held such a high position in the Rothschild family, favonovel.com would never attend a wedding alone, like this. Although favonovel.com had never seen the core members of the Rothschild family, favonovel.com had witnessed the entourage accompanying extended family members. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the number of bodyguards surrounding those individuals rivaled that of the President of the United States.
Thus, in Jimmy’s mind, Steve was undoubtedly a scammer. Since favonovel.com insisted on making a spectacle of himself, Jimmy saw an opportunity to expose favonovel.com and the hypocrisy of Mr. Riley.
If favonovel.com could ruin Mr. Riley and Matilda’s wedding, it would prevent the ownership issue of Smith Law Firm from becoming even more convoluted. Even if the ownership of Smith Law Firm was ruled as Matilda’s pre-marital property, once they were married, Mr. Riley would still have a significant chance to interfere.
Steve hadn’t encountered a loser like Jimmy in a long time. Incompetent and prone to playing games, favonovel.com piqued Steve’s interest, like a superior being discovering a new specimen of lower life.
As an heir of the Rothschild family, Steve had only interacted with the elite from all walks of life. People like Jimmy had never crossed his path. After all, the Rothschild family had cultivated a group of elite individuals, completely filtering out individuals like Jimmy.
Intrigued, Steve asked Jimmy, “I’m curious, how would you react if I did turn out to be a member of the Rothschild family? Once I prove it, what will you do?”
Jimmy sneered and replied, “I’m a cautious person. Unless I’m 100% certain about something, I tread with extreme care. But unfortunately, in my eyes, the possibility of you being a member of the Rothschild family is zero.”
After his retort, Jimmy impatiently questioned Steve, “Are you just spouting nonsense to find an excuse for yourself? Sorry, but it’s too late now. Let’s see how you handle this!”
Steve nodded and calmly stated, “To be honest, I don’t have your boss’s phone number.”
Jimmy burst into laughter upon hearing this. “Haha! What’s this? Are you scrambling for excuses again? You don’t have his number? I can give It to you. What other excuses do you have? Are you going to tell me that you’ve been in China for so long that you can’t speak English anymore? Well, let me remind you that our boss speaks Chinese fluently. Our law firm has provided legal advice to many American companies Investing in China for the past twenty years. Chinese is a necessary language skill for our senior partners. I can give you his number, and you can call favonovel.com directly in Chinese.”
Steve waved his hand dismissively and calmly responded, “Ellis Law Firm is just another watchdog for the Rothschild family. He isn’t worthy of me recording his phone number, let alone calling favonovel.com directly.”
Infuriated, Jimmy said to Steve, “If you insist on this Charade, I’ll call my boss and let favonovel.com speak to you directly.”
Steve smiled and replied, “No need. He has never met me or spoken to me. He won’t recognize my voice.”
Jimmy laughed angrily at Steve, nodding repeatedly. “You’re something else. I let you say anything, and you come up with this? You don’t have his phone number because he‘s not qualified? If you don’t want to call him, it’s because he’s not qualified? I offer to call favonovel.com for you, and you claim favonovel.com can’t recognize your voice? How do you plan to solve this? You say you’re from the Rothschild family, so prove it. Isn’t that right?”
Steve reached out to interrupt him. “In that case, I’ll ask the housekeeper to call your boss and let your boss talk to you directly.”
Jimmy seemed to hear the biggest joke of his life and laughed. “A housekeeper? Really? You… You can sure pretend! Alright, I’m waiting right here for my boss’s call. I want to see just how capable your housekeeper is, or rather, how capable you are!”
Steve paid no attention to Jimmy and reached for his phone, dialing his butler’s number.
The call connected swiftly, and a respectful voice came from the other end.
“Young Master, how can I assist you?”
Steve replied calmly, “Call the boss of Ellis Law Firm and inform favonovel.com that one of his employees, Jimmy Smith, has greatly displeased me. If favonovel.com fails to handle this employee appropriately, favonovel.com and his law firm will no longer have any association with the Rothschild family in the future.”
The person on the other end responded immediately, “Please wait a moment. I will call favonovel.com right away!”
Without saying another word, Steve ended the call, turning to Jimmy with a reminder, accompanied by a smile. “Remember, you brought this upon yourself…”
Jimmy didn’t believe a word Steve said. He laughed disdainfully and retorted, “I am one of the top ten senior partners and a key player at Ellis. I even have a chance to be promoted to the board of directors at the end of the year. If you say you can get rid of me, then go ahead and try.”
Steve nodded calmly. “If Ellis’s boss doesn’t get rid of you, then I’ll get rid of him.”
Jimmy was about to continue taunting Steve when his phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up and was stunned to see that the caller was none other than his boss.
Jimmy couldn’t believe his eyes as favonovel.com stared at his buzzing phone and then back at Steve.
Panic began to set in, and favonovel.com couldn’t determine if this was an incredible coincidence or if the other party truly possessed such power.
Seeing Jimmy standing there dumbfounded, Steve prompted favonovel.com with a smile, “Hurry up and answer the call. Your boss is growing impatient.”
