Donald believed in Feng Shui, fortune, and magnetic fields.He firmly believed that if a person had good Feng Shui and good fortune, the person would naturally be in a good mood, and everything would go smoothly for the person as well.However, if a person’s mood was affected and he was very upset every day from morning to night, he would not be able to concentrate on anything, and he would certainly lose interest in everything. He would not be able to taste good wine, and a delicious meal would not be delicious to him.Over time, this person’s magnetic field would be affected by his negative emotions. This would then affect the person’s Feng Shui and fortune, which would eventually affect his own physical health.In Feng Shui, everything that irritated a person was called ‘killing energy’.If it was too loud, it was called ‘sound killing energy’. If it was too bright, it was called ‘light killing energy’. If the heart was irritated or flustered, then it was called ‘emotion killin
The A-series villas at Thompson First were worth more than one hundred million dollars, and it was the most expensive villas in the whole of Aurous Hill.For an average family, this was a figure they would never be able to attain in this lifetime.For an ordinary rich family, it might be possible for them to afford this villa if they worked a little harder in this lifetime.For an extremely wealthy family, they would have to work hard for at least ten years to be able to have the opportunity to live in this kind of villa.However, to the Webb family, this kind of villa was just a drop in the bucket.Even though the Webb family was currently experiencing major difficulties, they had a value of hundreds of billions of dollars. Therefore, they would not mind spending one hundred million dollars on a villa.Moreover, Donald knew very well that the Webb family would be buying this villa for the Wilson family to live in. However, this was not equivalent to giving the villa to the Wilso
Donald did not care much about the villa in the first place. It would certainly not be possible for him to give the villa to the Wilson family. After all, he was not a fool. However, simply allowing them to live for ten years in the villa was not a big problem for him.Thus, Donald replied indifferently, “Alright, then. Ten years it is. However, you have to concentrate and focus on getting things done for me. I will definitely reward you if we can deal with Charlie as soon as possible.”Lady Wilson hurriedly pulled her family members as they bowed in front of Donald. She was excited beyond words.The other members of the Wilson family were also very excited. The Wilson family had already made a comeback.The Wilson Group was not only saved, but they would also be able to live in a villa at Thompson First. This situation was much better compared to the peak of their lives at their best.Moreover, Donald had also promised to support the Wilson Group. The Wilson Group would probably
Before it was dark, Christopher and Hannah were already making sound waves in their guest room.Christopher had been very depressed during this period. Therefore, he was naturally very impatient after getting separated from his wife for such a long time.Hannah naturally loved her husband very much. She originally thought that she would never be able to see him again in her life. However, she truly did not expect to have the opportunity to return to his embrace now. Hence, she was naturally full of joy.This was supposed to be a very harmonious and enjoyable moment, but Hannah suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart.She felt a little down because she felt that her husband’s sexual ability could not be compared to that of the dirty supervisor’s at all…This was absolutely depressing.One was the person that she loved, and the other was the person that she hated and despised. However, if she were to put these facts aside and talk about the sexual intercourse itself, even two of
Christopher frowned as he said, “Are we going to let the ones with the last name Parker and Wade off so easily?”Hannah replied, “I can create trouble for them in other ways. Besides, the Webb family is already prepared to deal with them behind the scenes. Therefore, I will definitely be able to avenge myself. No matter what it is, we should not mention or bring up this matter again.”In fact, Hannah was a little worried in her heart. If the coal mine was mentioned, and if her past with the supervisor of the coal mine was exposed, how was she going to maintain a foothold in the Wilson family?Christopher felt that what Hannah said made sense. Therefore, he nodded gently before he said, “Okay then, everyone should understand and pretend not to know about this matter in the future.”***The next day, the Wilson family of five returned to Aurous Hill in a car arranged by the Webb family.On the way back, the Webb family did not arrange for a private jet to send them back. They did n
At this time, Elaine had just finished lunch and was directing and ordering Charlie around. He was carrying an iron bucket and a shovel as he dug into the soil in the green lane of the villa area.Over the past two days, Elaine had had nothing better to do. She could not go out to play because of her broken leg, and she was extremely bored at home. She had scrolled through her circle of friends and realized that she had a female friend whom she did not have many dealings with in the past who had also bought a villa in the suburbs.Moreover, she even planted a lot of fruits and vegetables in the yard of her villa. When she shared those photos of the fruits and vegetables that she had planted in her circle of friends, many people had given her a thumbs up, saying that she was very smart and understood life.Elaine had been very jealous. On a whim, she had also stated that she wanted to grow vegetables and fruits in the yard of their villa.However, she had broken her leg and would no
After listening to Claire’s response, Charlie smiled before he said, “Okay, you don’t have to worry about where we will be going. Your husband will arrange it for you.”“That’s great!” Claire replied happily. “I will wait for you to make all the arrangements then!”“Okay!”After Charlie had hung up the phone, Elaine hurriedly said flatteringly, “See, I did not lie to you, right?”Charlie hummed before he looked at his cell phone again and called Zeke.“Master Wade! Why did you think of calling me?”Charlie replied indifferently, “Zeke, my wife enjoys picking fruits and vegetables very much. I want to turn half of the courtyard of the villa at Thompson First into a vegetable garden so that she can pick fruits and vegetables in the courtyard every day. Find some of the best varieties of the best fruits and vegetables for me. Moreover, I want the trees that have already grown up, bore fruits, have vines, saplings, and roots attached to them. I want you to transport it to the villa a
When Elaine started mocking everyone about the detention center again, Harold was very annoyed, and he said, “Elaine, why don’t you take a look at your ugly appearance now. You have already lost your two front teeth and you are even speaking indistinctly because of your missing teeth. Why are you still trying to show off now?”When Elaine heard that Harold actually dared to ridicule her for losing her two front teeth, she instantly became very angry.She did not even dare to look in the mirror for the past few days after she came back because she really looked too ugly after losing her two front teeth.However, it was a very troublesome thing to go to a dentist. Sometimes, you would have to go back and forth to the dentist several times just to do the filling for a tooth. What’s more, Elaine had already lost a few teeth, and the dentist would have to do everything from scratch.Claire wanted to spend some money to implant some teeth for Elaine, but it would be very inconvenient for
Jacob was naturally gleeful that he could get the late medieval bronze sculpture along with its base. Right after he wired the agreed upon ninety-eight grand to Mr. Cardensky, he was already imagining how Raymond would buy it from him for several hundred grand.On the other hand, once Mr. Cardensky received the transfer, he saw the name on the account: Jacob Wilson.He was left perplexed—wasn't that man's last name Montague? Who was this Jacob Wilson?Still, he didn't worry about it too much since most antique hustlers preferred to work with anonymity and therefore, using a different name was perfectly normal.He then carefully wrapped up the bronze sculpture before passing it Jacob, asking politely, "Would you happen to have any other requests, Mr. Montague? I have plenty of other items here if you'd permit me to give an introduction."Jacob shook his head, "Just this sculpture will do. I'm not fully confident in your work either since this is our first deal, so I'm just trying i
Jacob asked, "Then, what would this sculpture be worth if it was genuine?"Mr. Cardensky thought about it. "Well, there are standards when it comes to Renaissance relics, but with something this exquisite, it'd definitely be auctionable for one or two million—and that's the conservative estimate.""How much would you sell it to me for?" Jacob then asked."Thirty percent of the market price," Mr. Cardensky quickly replied. "As I've said, the conservative estimate for this one is around one to two million, so we will set the price with the median estimate value at 1.5 million. And thirty percent means 450 grand."Jacob shook his head right away. "No, no, no… that's too expensive. What if I end up unable to sell it, on top of that?"In his mind, while he could barely accept that pricing, he still needed Raymond to be able to afford it if he wanted to swindle Raymond for twice the money.Mr. Cardensky quickly chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Montague—now you're being too serious. In this business,
"Okay!"Mr. Cardensky smiled and pointed at a nearby farmyard. "There's our workshop—the good stuff is all in there. Allow me to take you there!"The farmyard seemed uninteresting at first glance, but Mr. Cardensky soon led them to the stables and brushed off the straws covering the floor, revealing a plank laid flat on the ground.Mr. Cardensky then lifted it, revealing a passage below—they had dug a cellar into the ground beneath, with the stables as an entry point.As Jacob followed Mr. Cardensky down the cellar, he exclaimed in awe, "Your operation is definitely big, digging such a huge cellar!"Mr. Cardensky smiled humbly. "Anyone working in the business would have sustained their losses before. In the end, we're all folk of humble origins, starting out with raiding tombs or excavating artifacts. Just digging a cellar is really nothing."As they conversed, they cleared the stairs and arrived at the main hall.It was certainly a hall as it was around a hundred square meters,
Zachary nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Montague? Very well!""Yes!" Jacob grinned smugly. "Longer last names are simply better—it just sounds so authoritative."With that agreed upon, both men alighted, where the master was waiting nearby.Seeing them get off, he hurried over to them, smiling, "Please, follow me."Zachary looked around and huffed, "Honestly, Mr. Cardensky, isn't this way too far from the highway? The road is narrow and terrible, and I have to park my car all the way out here. Just coming here is taxing."Mr. Cardensky smiled in turn. "My friend, that's exactly why we picked this place. Do you remember seeing a couple of cars parked by the road, occupying half of it?""We arranged for them to be there. Anyone coming by car would have to slow down that way, buying time for us to see who they truly are. If it's cops, our watchers would quietly text us while we clean the house and bail."Zachary exclaimed in realization, "You boys really run a tight ship!""For sure," Mr.
After working in Antique Street for years, Zachary's connections and influence were naturally special. And yet, though he was acquainted with some of the more impressive individuals, he was not that close with them either.For example, the forgery masters who worked specifically to deceive experts only accepted jobs from major clients, usually antique traders high in social status and wealth.In contrast, they wouldn't ever be interested in frivolous people like Zachary. Even if he could reach them, they might not look at him twice.If one would describe them as the cartel boss, then Zachary would be a low-level enforcer, managing night joints or goofing off.But now, Zachary had turned over a new leaf—he worked under Don Albert, so one of those masters was pleasantly surprised when he called one of them, inviting him to his own workshop for a visit and further discussion.As such, Zachary picked up Jacob and went over to the master's hideout where the latter worked on his count
Zachary was naturally shrewd enough to read Jacob's intention.In reality, he wasn't offering to pay just because he wanted the profit. He merely wanted to get in Jacob's good graces. After all, wouldn't Jacob be even more grateful that he wasn't just helping his revenge but also helping him make money?As such, he didn't hesitate to tell Jacob, "Well, chief—since you'll be paying, I will make sure that you will get every cent of profit that you deserve."Jacob was grinning ear-to-ear, but he said, "Oh, you don't have to! If we really are making a profit, there's no way I would let your good work go unrewarded!"Spreading his arms, he continued generously, "How about this? I will pay the full cost while you get twenty percent of the net profit!"Zachary laughed. "Now, that can wait, chief. We need to pay as soon as we decide on the item we want, and there's no time for buyer's regret. But if Raymond doesn't take the bait, all that money will go down the drain, and whether we can s
Zachary chuckled and continued, "Well, I went to Antique Street and asked around. Turns out our mutual friend only brought a few hundred thousand grand with him. If he messes up and loses all his money, won't it be over for him?""He won't just be broke either—he'd be humiliated and forced to fuck off from Antique Street. You'd get even then!"Jacob was at once excited.Just yesterday, Claire and Charlie were warning him that assault meant doing time.As the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and the next presidential-hopeful, he would lose his place if he was charged with assault or being an accessory to a case.However, Zachary's plan was much better. Jacob wouldn't have to take responsibility, and the damage on Raymond would be even worse!In comparison, slapping Raymond meant nothing. Watching him go broke and get humiliated would really ease his heart!With that in mind, he promptly pressed Zachary, "Are you sure that prick will mess up?""I can't a
Jacob Wilson was in his office at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, planning his itinerary in Dubai.Still, he was immediately thrilled when Zachary told him that there was progress, and he quickly said, "Come see me at the Calligraphy and Painting Association. We'll talk in my office!""Alright!" Zachary agreed to it happily. "Just wait, Mr. Wilson. I'll be right there!"Jacob then quickly told him, "By the way, remember to address me as the vice president when you're here. Got it?"Zachary was naturally sharp enough to understand why, especially around other members of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.Smiling, he said, "Don't worry, chief. You can always be at ease when I'm on the job!"Once he hung up, he drove to the Calligraphy and Painting Association at top speed.There were just a dozen people around the dozens of work cubicles although Zachary was curious about the personal effects or office tools in the cubicles.After asking around, a staff member le
Then, Mick continued, "I won't lie—Moore Group's bean counters have been eager to get rid of Vintage Deluxe for a while now. It's only Miss Moore's insistence that keeps them at bay, even occasionally coming to check on how business is going. That means she holds sentiment for this place, but if she knows that Raymond is back and doing well, she might hire him again!"Zachary could laugh right then. After all, Mick was terrible at gathering information—he could worry about anyone taking his palace, but not Raymond. The man was fired because he had insulted Master Wade's father in-law, and Miss Moore was endlessly respectful—even obedient to Master Wade. There was no chance that she would hire Raymond back after what he had done, and Mick was just being paranoid.However, Zachary did not tell Mick that.As Mick was begging him to intervene and thus owing him big time, he would also be helping Jacob Wilson get even.Two birds with one stone, so why not?With that in mind, Zachar
