Reuben was gravely distraught now. Never did he expect that his grandfather would still curry favor with Charlie even if he had to offend Dylan during the process.Reuben was not a fool. He could see that the reason why his grandfather took Charlie so seriously was that he was a little addicted to the Rejuvenating Pill.In other words, instead of gripping the olive branch that Dylan and the Koch family had tossed at them, his grandfather would rather get on good terms with Charlie. This proved that the old man no longer cared about the future of the family nor the wealth they could generate, but rather how many more years he could live.Otherwise, he would never have given up the Koch family’s offer and chosen Charlie.This made Reuben extremely disappointed and upset.First of all, Lord Moore had given up the opportunity offered by the Koch family, and this meant that the Moore family had lost a good chance to rise above and beyond.Secondly, if Lord Moore was given another Re

At this moment, Lord Moore continued, “Jasmine has always been a very well-mannered girl, and she is very concerned about family matters, be it personal or business. I am truly grateful for that. In fact, some time ago, when I was gravely ill and all the doctors announced that my time had almost come, she introduced Master Wade to me. It was Master Wade who cured me and pulled me back from the light. He even gave me the precious Rejuvenating Pill, allowing me to rewind my timeline to 20 years younger.”Lord Moore paused for a while, bowed slightly to Charlie, and said, “Master Wade, I thank you for your help in curing me, and of course, I am grateful for my granddaughter and her endless efforts. Therefore, on the occasion of her birthday today, I would like to make an announcement. I have decided that from tomorrow, Jasmine will officially take over the position of the head of the Moore family. Also, I will officially retire from tomorrow!”Lord Moore’s voice echoed across the hall l

As soon as Lord Moore made this statement, those who opposed the idea of Jasmine inheriting the family business shut their mouth, acknowledging Lord Moore’s opinion.They understood one fact from it, and that was they and their children had no chance to inherit the family business anyway, so it might as well be someone who was more capable and eligible to take over the position of the head of the family. Lord Moore was right—the stronger the head of the family was, the more money she could make, and the more money they could get in return.Reuben was pretty average in all aspects, but there was a huge gap between him and Jasmine in terms of capability.Jasmine was relatively young, but she could take care of and manage the family business very well.The antique business was prosperous under her management, whilst the foreign trade was handled very impressively and superbly in her hands.In terms of business skills and talents, she surpassed all the descendants of her generation

As this thought lingered in Tyler’s mind, he ground his teeth scornfully, murderous intent flooding his thoughts.Lord Moore seemed to have noticed the dissatisfaction in his eldest son’s expression and tone, so he turned to Charlie and said respectfully, “Master Wade, I have a presumptuous request that I hope you can agree to.”Charlie smiled lightly and said, “Do tell, Lord Moore.”Lord Moore started, “I hope you can become the second heir to the patriarch of the Moore family in case anything happens to Jasmine in the future. If Jasmine does not leave any children, you will automatically become the head of the family. If you agree, I can promise you that 30% of the family’s net profit will be yours, and it will be valid forever. You have my word on that.”The reason for such a request was because Lord Moore was indeed worried that his eldest son and his family might harm Jasmine due to the arrangement, but he was reluctant to give up his decision because of this reason.He knew

Right now, Charlie regarded Jasmine as his close friend and was willing to protect her with all his might.As for Tyler and Reuben, their eyes were burning with a murderous flame.They had been eyeing the position of patriarch for many years, and they couldn’t accept the fact that Jasmine had been appointed for the position.Nevertheless, they were very clear that it was bound to be a fierce and ugly battle if they wanted to regain the position of the heir.Therefore, they had to plan their strategy wisely. If they decided to make a move, they had to ensure a guaranteed victory.At this birthday banquet, Jasmine was undoubtedly the happiest person in the hall.At this moment, from the bottom of Jasmine’s heart, her gratitude and love for Charlie reached its peak.How could a smart woman like her not know Charlie’s intention in giving her the Rejuvenating Pill?Who would benefit the most from the Rejuvenating Pill? Old people, of course. Very old people.She was only 26 years o

Charlie was about to agree to Paul’s invitation, but the gorgeous Jasmine suddenly appeared in front of them, and with her face blushing shyly, she said, “Paul, there’s no need to bother you. I will send Master Wade home.”Paul was a smart guy. He knew that deep down in Jasmine’s heart, she must truly adore Charlie very much.She, as the birthday girl, should not offer herself to send the guests off herself. Not tonight.After all, today was her birthday as well as the first day she had become the successor of the Moore family, but she had volunteered herself to send Charlie home after the banquet ended.Moreover, there were so many distinguished guests here today, but among these guests, she only wanted to send Charlie home. This was more than enough to see how much she valued and cherished Charlie.Paul cleared his throat and said with a coy smile, “Oh yes, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do and Master Wade’s house is out of my way, so, Miss Moore, I’ll have to tr

Harvey was thrilled to see Charlie and sprinted toward him excitedly. However, before he could greet Charlie, he suddenly realized that he was now Travis’s driver and this behavior was considered rude and unacceptable. So, he hurriedly wiped the excitement off his face and said respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Lane!”Travis patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Harvey, drop the diplomacy. You are Master Wade’s buddy, which means you are my buddy too. Although I am ten odd years older than you, we can be good buddies as well!”Harvey nodded quickly, surprised and flattered.At this moment, Charlie came to him, smiled warmly, and asked, “Hey, Harv, how is everything? How are you? How is this new job?”Harvey replied very gratefully, “Charlie, my good buddy, I don’t know how to thank you! Without you, there is no me! You are my life savior!”Charlie’s warm smile persisted as he said, “Everyone will meet their life savior at a certain point in their life. You think I am your lif

Jasmine said softly at this moment, “Master Wade, let’s go too.”“Okay.”***Driving her red Bentley, Jasmine drove Charlie out of the Moore family mansion.Jasmine’s heart was thumping violently. She had never been as nervous in front of Charlie as she was now.As an awkward silence in the car ensued, Jasmine cleared her throat, desperate to find a topic to talk about, and said, “Master Wade, thank you so much today. I didn’t expect that you would give me the Rejuvenating Pill. It is such an expensive gift! I owe you a lot.”Charlie smiled gently and said, “Well, truth be told, the reason why I gave you the Rejuvenating Pill was for you to offer the favor to your grandfather at my expense. With the pill, Lord Moore can live to be at least 100 years old, no doubt about that, so he must want the pill that I gave you very badly. However, he is a very unprejudiced and self-righteous man, he won’t simply take the pill from you, so, a great return for the pill is expected.”Jasmine n

"Five hundred grand?"Mick chuckled. "Well, the sculpture looks Renaissance, and the craftsmanship as well as the material are all ideal. It would sell for up to two million in an auction, while established antique traders like us could offer up to a million. So, why the lowball?"Bill sighed. "I won't lie—it belonged to my old man, who just croaked this afternoon. But you see, he left a will stating that every antique in the house would be given to my brother… Since he's playing favorites, I thought I had to get something for myself.""That's why I quietly sneaked this baby out without anyone else knowing and am trying to sell it quickly to change my own circumstances. You don't have to tell me how many millions it's worth—I'm not that greedy. Give me five hundred grand, and it's yours."Mick shrugged as he shot back, "If it's as you say and your old man intended for your brother to have it, the fact that you sneaked it out here makes this theft. Do you think I'd buy stolen proper

It was half past six, and the skies were darkening when a figure hurried into Antique Street, heading straight toward the center—to Vintage Deluxe.Mick Crane, the manager, was holding the fort with some of his employees, and there were some guests window shopping there as well. As Mick asked the employees to assist the guests, he waited anxiously for Billy—Zachary's henchman.Nonetheless, a certain figure rushed inside within minutes, asking eagerly as he entered, "Is the manager in? Do you still buy antiques?""Yes, and yes!" Mick exclaimed as he approached Billy enthusiastically, asking, "May I ask what you're planning to sell?"Billy looked around before sneakily holding up a parcel wrapped in red cloth, carefully lifting a corner to reveal an edge so that Mick could see.Then, he promptly lowered the cloth again, whispering, "This is the good stuff. I'm just not sure if you have the money to buy it."Mick grinned. "What are you saying? If it's something Vintage Deluxe coul

Jacob chuckled. "Can't tell you right now. But I will once it's done.""Well, have you decided when we're going to Dubai?" Elaine quickly pressed.Jacob said, "I'd have to wait until tonight to see if this deal works, but we're leaving first thing tomorrow. I'll get the tickets first, and we will be staying at the Burj Al-Arab that I told you about. People are always saying how amazing it is on the internet every day, seeing how luxurious the seven-star hotel is, but I'll be the judge of that."Elaine was overjoyed to hear that. "That's amazing! And I was just thinking we can't go sooner! Go about your business, then. I'll pack our luggage right away."Jacob chuckled smugly. "Don't pack so much, though. Just stick to the necessities, since we can get the rest over there!""Alright!" Elaine exclaimed, beside herself in excitement. "Alright, you hurry up and get your thing done over there. I'll start packing now!"After hanging up, Elaine called Charlie, who was in Champs Elys Reso

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,
