As she spoke, Mrs. Lewis asked in a low voice, “Charlie, were you the one who took the video posted on the Internet? Were you the one who found the children?”Charlie smiled as he said, “Mrs. Lewis, you think too highly of me. How can I possibly have such great strength and ability?”Mrs. Lewis was silent for a moment before she sighed and said, “I watched the video and it seems as though Max is already dead…I really did not expect this child to take this path…”Charlie also sighed as he said, “I also watched the video. Max had taken the wrong path himself so you shouldn’t be too said either, Mrs. Lewis.”“I know…” Mrs. Lewis replied in a melancholic manner, “I thought that I would definitely pass away before all of you children. I was still thinking that all of you will be there at my memorial service to give me flowers when I’m old and have already passed away…”As she spoke about this, Mrs. Lewis sobbed softly, “I really didn’t expect one of the children to die before me first.

At this time, Joey felt as though the whole world was collapsing in front of him.He could not believe that Max was already dead. However, the picture of Max falling into the river in the video was extremely clear.He knew that Max was really dead. The biggest question right now was, who he was going to take the six hundred and twenty thousand dollars from?If he could not get his money, then he would be finished. He would be completely done for.This was because the five hundred thousand dollars that he borrowed from the usury would continue accumulating interest and this would finally amount to an astronomical figure. He would be heading to his own doom then.Therefore, he immediately dialed 110 to call the police. After the call was connected, he said in a panic, “Police officer, I have been deceived! Someone cheated me out of six hundred and twenty thousand dollars but he is dead now. What should I do?”The police officer replied, “If the person concerned is already dead, the

He had spent two million dollars to buy this car and it had not even been a month since he bought it!What was even worse was that he was so stupid enough to directly hand the crashed car over to that young man!He was initially thinking of making the young man compensate him by giving him a brand new car. However, he really did not expect this young man to die.Now, not only did he not have a new car, but he did not even know where his crashed Phaeton was!As he thought about this, Jayden gritted his teeth before he thought to himself: ‘In any case, I have to find my crashed Phaeton as soon as possible! Otherwise, I would really suffer a big loss!’Fortunately, he had asked his underling to threaten the boy before this. Therefore, he knew where the young man lived.Therefore, he did not dare to delay anything any further. He immediately told Albert, “Don Albert, I have to go out and deal with something first. I’ll come back when I am done.”Albert nodded before he said, “Then,

Joey pursed his lips awkwardly upon the man’s harsh and direct remark. He dared not oppose him, hence he cleared his throat and hurriedly saying, “Alright, buddy, eight hundred then. Come quick! I’m in a hurry.”“Wait, how do I know if you’re cheating me? You are always so unreliable, I f*cking learned my lesson a long time ago! Transfer the money over to me first!”“Okay, alright, buddy, calm down! I’ll transfer the money over to you right now. Hurry, come quick, don’t take so long!”“I’ll go when I receive the money. No money, no talk!”Joey hastily took out his phone, opened the mobile banking app, and was ready to transfer eight hundred dollars to the man, but when he clicked to confirm the payment, he realized that his account had insufficient balance!Only now that he realized he gave almost all of his savings to Max and only left five hundred dollars for himself as his daily expenses. His logic was simple—the more he gave, the more he earned, so he decided to be thrifty to

At this moment, there was a man’s voice from the other end of the line. He was panting heavily while saying in a deliberately low voice, “Hey, quit the nonsense, will you? Just give him the money! Don’t let him ruin the moment!”Joey suddenly became alert and asked, “Janice, why is there a man’s voice over there? Who are you with?”“He’s my cousin! Didn’t I tell you that I injured my waist and am doing the physiotherapy in bed? I can’t get into the right posture, that’s why I’ve let him come and help me.”Joey mumbled an ‘Oh’, remembering that she was doing exactly that when he called the other day, so he did not suspect anything.Janice huffed in annoyance. “Okay, fine, I can’t talk right now, I’ll transfer the money to you right now.”Joey shrieked gleefully and said, “Oh, thank you, Janice baby, thank you so much! I love you!”“Okay, that’s enough, I’ll hang up now!”After ending the call, she indeed transferred five hundred and twenty dollars to Joey as promised.Overjoyed,

Jayden was in the midst of being upset, but this deadbeat loser dared to challenge him while squatting in front of his car! Without a word, he lifted his leg and kicked Joey to the ground. Then, before Joey could turn around and get back up, he rushed to punch and kick him.Joey wailed in extreme pain and cursed angrily, “F*ck, why are you hitting me? Why? Did I offend you or something? Are you f*cking crazy?”Jayden threw a punch directly on his nose, causing his face to cover with his own blood, and cursed, “You’re the crazy one! Why did you squat in front of my car? And what’s with the tone that you talked to me with just now? You’ve earned yourself some beatings!”Then, he hurled a few more punches at Joey that Joey almost passed out in pain, his eyesight became starry and blurry.When Jayden’s men saw the fight, he got out of the car swiftly and joined his boss to beat Joey violently.It was bad enough for Joey to suffer from a single man’s punches and kicks, but he was in

It was very disgusting as Joey’s blood was smeared all over his trousers!Annoyed and furious, Jayden kicked him away and shouted sternly, “Hey, stop it, f*ck! Are you f*cking crazy? Do you really want to die? When did my car become yours?! F*ck!”Joey thought that Jayden was also one of Max’s creditors who was trying to take the car away as collateral, so he desperately rushed forward again, clinging to Jayden’s leg, and shouting, “No, this car is mine! It’s mine! You can’t take it!”Jayden was extremely agitated by now. He grabbed Joey’s collar, slapped him multiple times, and cursed, “Are you F*cking crazy? Didn’t you see that I have the key? When did my car become yours?”Joey wailed loudly, “No! This is Max’s car! He owes me six hundred thousand dollars and I want to repay my debt with this car. No, you can’t drive it away! I’ll be so dead if you do!”“Motherf*cker!” Jayden punched him on his face again and shouted, “You really are out of your f*cking mind! Listen, this is my
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1057
Finally, the whole deception unfolded in front of Joey’s eyes.As it turned out, not only was Max not as wealthy and successful as he had claimed he was but had also gotten into massive trouble.He had crashed Jayden’s Phaeton and urgently needed to compensate Jayden with a new car, so he had tricked him into investing six hundred thousand to the so-called get-rich-quick scheme that he constantly boasted about.The worst part now was that the b*stard was dead, which also meant that he wouldn’t see any of his money ever again.At this moment, his heart hurt so much. It hurt more than the physical pain he suffered.Jayden was a little relieved as Joey was not as insane as he had been earlier, and said, “So, now you know this car is mine and I can drive it without any issues, okay?”Although Jayden found Joey disdain, he knew it would be wiser for him to keep his distance away from him after seeing his crazy state.He’d seen a lot of people in the underworld after so many years, so

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A

While Jacob was feeling delighted after pulling off his con, Raymond had posted details of the bronze sculpture online.The website he was using was the biggest platform for antique collectors and the antique trade where each user could set a favorite tag in the antique category and era. If a user who preferred canvas art pieces of the Tudor dynasty set that label as their favorite, they would immediately be notified with text or desktop notifications in regards to any item with the same label.As medieval bronze sculptures were rare in the first place, most who were interested had already set that label on their favorites and were immediately notified soon after Raymond posted pictures of the bronze sculpture online.The collectors were naturally eager to check it out as gilded sculptures of the medieval era were really rare, and most collectors would go a lifetime without picking one up for their collection.On top of that, the seller had even listed a major flaw and was only ask

"Nope," Jacob chuckled. "We were both working separately and just happened to get back in at the same time."Then, he immediately became smug and excited, "Guess what, dear? I made 200 thousand out of the deal! In net profits!""For real?!" Elaine gaped. "200 thousand in just one night?! That's amazing! How did you do that?"Claire was surprised to hear that too, and she came over to ask, "What deal was it, Dad?"Jacob grinned, "Oh, it's nothing to brag about. It's just that I managed to pick up a nice antique item thanks to my wisdom and then sold it for 200 thousand."Pausing, he then sighed in dismay, "However, the buyer wasn't too rich—I would have squeezed him for 400 thousand, but he couldn't afford more, so I had to settle for less."Elaine quickly exclaimed, "Shit, we're talking about a loss of 200 thousand! People would work a year and still never earn that much…"She trailed off for a moment before asking, "By the way, dear—are we still flying out first thing tomorrow?

Jacob laughed. "Put that issue behind us? Sure, but we're not becoming friends. Hell, I can't even hold a grudge now that you're shit out of luck."Then, his tone changed sharply and suddenly became icy, "But you see, Aurous Hill is not a place you can stay just because you want to. No… After this, you're not going to be able to make a living in the antique trade.""If I were you, I'd be running a thousand miles away, far away from Aurous Hill where no one would know my face to start over. That way, you just might be able to make a living."Raymond simply kept smiling, "You need not be concerned about how I'm going to survive here, Mr. Wilson. I'd be very grateful if you'd cease any form of harassment once you leave my premises."Jacob pursed his lips, staring at Raymond in disappointment. "I'm plenty magnanimous, so I won't stoop to such pettiness. Just do whatever you like!"Clicking his tongue, he huffed, "Tut, tut… And here I'd thought you're tough, but you're just yet another

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an

That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door

Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l
