Charlie watched Elaine limp into the yard with crutches and a huge shoulder bag on her back, which was obviously stuffed with a lot of things that made the bag look bulky. He instantly knew that his mother-in-law was up to no good.Claire asked in surprise, “Mom, where have you been? I couldn’t find you anywhere in the house the whole morning.”Elaine answered with a laugh, “Oh, I went to the wholesale market this morning and bought something!”Claire chided, “Mom, your legs need some time to heal. You should be resting at home, why did you go around?”“Nah, it’s nothing,” Elaine waved her hand indifferently and said, “You would’ve thought that I can’t go around with these crutches, right? I’m used to it now and besides, my legs don’t hurt anymore. I only get a little tired with the crutches, that’s all. I’m fine.”Claire asked again, “Mom, what did you buy anyway? You must be tired of carrying the large bag, let me help you!”Elaine giggled and said, “I’m fine, it’s all hats ins

Hannah did not mind the arrangement, though. She was quite upset with Christopher’s ruthlessness, but she was a little guilty from the bottom of her heart.After all, she had cheated on him and that was the fact, regardless of her reasons. He must be very agitated to see her since she hadn’t aborted the baby yet.At this moment, Christopher had just woken up from his sleep.There were some side effects after he was discharged from the hospital, and one of them was weakness and lethargy.He had not really gotten enough sleep, but while he was sleeping, he always felt a sharp itching in his crotch area that he woke up while scratching it.The itching was very peculiar and odd. At first, it was rather itchy, but when he couldn’t help it and scratched the area, it became itchier, and when he scratched it a little harder, it became extremely itchy! So, he had literally scratched to the point where his skin almost broke.He couldn’t help but wonder what was wrong with him.He had al

Lady Wilson was a little fuzzy. She didn’t understand why the first thing her son did after waking up was to confront Elaine, so she hurriedly asked, “Christopher, what’s your business with Elaine?”Christopher growled angrily, “That b*tch Elaine has hung dozens of green hats on her balcony! Tell me, she did it intentionally, didn’t she?!”Lady Wilson gawked in shock and blurted out, “What? Are you serious?”Christopher gritted his teeth in dismay. “Follow me and you’ll see.”Both of them went out of the door immediately.Sure enough, as soon as Lady Wilson went out, she saw twenty green hats fluttering in the wind on the balcony of Elaine’s room.She blew a fuse upon seeing it and screamed blue murder, “Elaine! That b*tch! She must have watched the hospital video and is deliberately mocking us!”Christopher nodded indignantly and said, “Yes, Mom, that’s why I can’t let her off the hook! D*mn it, she’s such a bully!”Lady Wilson and Christopher stomped to Charlie’s gate in grea

However, Hannah was backed by Donald. He didn’t dare to disobey Donald, so he couldn’t divorce her even after she cheated on him.It could be described as the most tragic thing that could happen to a man if he couldn’t divorce his wife after he caught her cheating. Truth be told, he felt the disaster hitting him first-hand!Now, Elaine’s remark was an insult added directly to his injury. He felt as if he had been slapped a thousand times on his face.Lady Wilson was extremely agitated by her remark too. She had been a proud and arrogant woman all her life, so she couldn’t accept that the Wilson family’s reputation was being tarnished or ruined.Although a scandal erupted in their social circle when Wendy and Kenneth were a thing, Lady Wilson couldn’t help it as she got the short end of the stick. Besides, it wasn’t uncommon for young girls to be with rich men, so the jokes and gossip didn’t stick too long.Hannah was different though. Her problem had completely tarnished the Wilso

Christopher was pissed off with her mocking. He jumped and cursed furiously, “Hey, Elaine, you b*tch, do you want to die?”Elaine laughed happily and said, “Chris, don’t be mad. I spent hundreds of dollars on these hats and I want to give them all to you.”Then, Elaine took a green Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle doll out of nowhere and said loudly, “Look, Chris, don’t you think this doll looks very much like you? Not only is his head green, but he’s also very patient since he’s a ninja! Oh my goodness, it’s the best portrayal of you! Hahaha…”Christopher was so angry, his whole body was shaking profusely, including his voice as he shouted, “B*tch, why don’t you die? An immoral person like you deserves to go to hell!”Elaine laughed and said, “Oh, Chris, I’ve kindly given you these hats, but you cursed me to go to hell. Is this really how you want to repay my favor? But I am a bigger person, so I’ll forgive your rudeness. All these hats are for you and I’ve bought two dozen of them, so

“In my opinion, Mom’s action is simply giving them a taste of their own medicine. I think they deserve what comes at them.”Lady Wilson and Christopher wanted to bite Elaine’s head off, but since they couldn’t do anything about it, they turned around and left indignantly.Christopher cursed as he walked, “D*mn it, if I have a chance, I’ll kill her!”Lady Wilson said angrily, “Don’t mind her first, you’d better take Hannah to the hospital tomorrow and get rid of that b*stard child in her belly! This is really a great shame to our Wilson family!”Christopher’s face twisted in a scornful grimace and said, “Don’t worry, Mother, I’ll take her to the hospital first thing in the morning!”When they went back home, Harold and Wendy had just gotten up and they were in the living room, waiting for Hannah to finish cooking.Hannah had some money left from selling off the coffee machine the other day, so she spent lavishly today on a big bag of fresh abalones and prepared an abalone feast fo

Hannah was extremely embarrassed and angry when she was insulted by Christopher, but she didn’t dare to talk back to him.She hoped for a happy and harmonious family, so she was willing to be humble and prayed that Christopher could accept her, but Christopher hated her to the core right now.He hated Hannah, but not abalone, so he chided coldly while stuffing the abalone into his mouth, “You should be thankful that we are still willing to keep an unfaithful and disobedient woman like you in this house! Remember, from now on, be a good servant in this house!”Hannah sighed dejectedly and ate her noodles in silence.In fact, Hannah didn’t know that her husband had been infected with STDs from her. If she knew, she would definitely not make the abalone feast for him.She knew Christopher’s favorite food was abalone, so she had prepared an abalone banquet to please him, but on the contrary, all she received were scolding and insults.On the other hand, Christopher shifted his grief

Christopher’s voice became softer and softer, but Lady Wilson could comprehend him.She shrieked nervously, “Oh no! Who knows what kind of filthy men Hannah slept with at the coal mine?! I think that she isn’t only pregnant but she has also come back with all kinds of weird diseases! Let’s go! I’ll go to the hospital with you for a thorough examination!”As he listened to his mother, deep inside, Christopher also suspected that Hannah had probably infected him with those diseases and he became even more annoyed.Regardless of his annoyance, his top priority right now was to go to the hospital to check if he was indeed infected, so he said quickly, “Mom, how embarrassing it would be for you to accompany me to the hospital. Just give me the money, I can go there on my own.”Lady Wilson said in a stern tone, “No can do. I’d feel uneasy if I don’t go with you. Hush, I’ll go with you, let’s go now!”Then, Lady Wilson immediately got up and prepared to go out.Christopher hesitated, bu

As Zachary agreed to do a favor for Vintage Deluxe's Mick Crane in passing, he and Jacob agreed to meet up at 7pm at the car park by Antique Street.He first took Jacob back to the Calligraphy and Painting Association and called Billy, one of his boys whom he thought was smarter than the rest, giving him the gist of the plan and telling him to familiarize himself with the script.Then, he took the sculpture back to Heaven Springs and met up with Billy in office, telling Billy what to do in finer detail and making sure he committed everything to memory.Zachary's strength as a judge of character certainly proved itself—Billy had never done anything like this before, but he took to the plan like fish to water. He committed the script to memory soon enough, and he was flawless.Once he made sure that Billy was fine, Zachary called Mick.As soon as Mick answered, he immediately asked, "Hello, Mr. Evans. How is that thing we talked about going?"Zachary chuckled. All the arrangements

Zachary continued, "Why do you think casinos are always making a profit? It's exactly because no matter how unassuming a guest is the first time, they would be allowed to win a couple of hands, making a little profit.""And suddenly, they would think that they are the chosen one, destined to win against all odds and always come out triumphant! Once such radical, blind confidence hits them, every last bit of his money would be lost to the casino!""At that point, you can get anything from them—their house, their wife, their children… hell, they'd be willing to die if you'd just let them gamble again!"Turning toward Jacob with a grin, Zachary then asked, "So, with all the points I made and that sculpture you're holding… Do you still think Raymond wouldn't fall for it?"Jacob laughed out loud. "Oh, talk about a plan within a plan! No one would ever see it coming! Raymond Cole is so screwed!"Zachary smiled and nodded. "That's why there's no reason to rush—I'll arrange a man to get r

As soon as they drove out of the village, Jacob asked Zachary eagerly, "So, when do you think we should make our move? I can't wait!"Zachary didn't hesitate, "Let's do it today. It's better than waiting! I'll get someone reliable to bring this to Treasure Measure and get him interested. I'm sure that since he has just returned to Antique Street, he'll need a hot deal to generate hype and make himself known. That's why I'm sure he'll take this sculpture."Jacob nodded repeatedly as he chuckled. "I think so too. Today is definitely best since I'll be going to Dubai soon and probably leaving once I'm done with this. Once you get this settled by the end of today, I'll get tickets for the flight tomorrow!"Zachary grinned. "Don't worry, chief. We will definitely get it settled today…"He trailed off for a moment before continuing, "Still, you should be a little patient. We should do this in the evening—at the second just before Raymond Cole closes shop.""But why?" Jacob asked in curi

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
