When Lady Wilson heard that the estimated value of these two cars would amount to almost one hundred million dollars, she could not help but shudder at the thought of it.Two cars would add up to one hundred million dollars? What the hell was this? These two cars were almost worth the price of a first class villa at Thompson First.She had already felt that she was very incredible because she had spent three million dollars on a car. That could only mean that Charlie’s car was worth more than thirty of the cars that she had bought.The old lady could not help but feel extremely uncomfortable.She initially thought that she would be able to humiliate others. Unexpectedly, she had only ended up humiliating herself.The point was, would someone actually be willing to spend so much money on an expensive car? Was he crazy?Only a car made out of pure gold would be worth that price, right?Lady Wilson was feeling very indignant. Harold, who was standing aside, was afraid that the old

Lady Wilson shook her head.She really could not come up with any good plans under this kind of situation.Wendy said, “Grandma, why don’t we try to use Wilson Group to suppress Claire’s studio then?”“That does not make any sense.” Lady Wilson replied solemnly, “All of Claire’s orders are from Emgrand Group, the White family and the Quinton family. How are we supposed to suppress her in any way?”“That is also true…”Wendy could not help but feel extremely annoyed.She had always been comparing herself to Claire in various ways. This made her feel a lot of hatred and resentment towards Claire deep down in her heart.Unexpectedly, Claire and Charlie were not suffering or having a bad time at all. Instead, they were both enjoying a very good life right now. This made her feel extremely uncomfortable.Wendy felt a lot of hatred and envy towards Claire when she thought about how Charlie could afford to own two top luxury cars that even Gerald could only hope for.How could Claire

What Christopher hated the most was not Hannah who had made a cuckold out of him but instead, it was Elaine who had insulted him again and again.Christopher really felt like crushing Elaine to pieces whenever he thought about the twenty green hats that were fluttering in the wind on Elaine’s balcony.Every time those twenty green hats swayed as the wind blew, it was like a merciless lash whipping at him.So, he felt that if they wanted to exact revenge, it would definitely be most appropriate for them to start from Elaine.Most importantly, they would not arouse Charlie’s hatred if they exacted revenge on Elaine.Otherwise, if they started attacking Claire, then it would be tantamount to rubbing Charlie the wrong way. That way, it was very likely that they would lose their lives then.Even Donald did not dare to attack Claire. So, his family would naturally not dare to cause such trouble for themselves.Christopher’s suggestion immediately gained his whole family’s approval.A

Claire’s high school classmate was getting married the next day.The couple drove a super sports car each as they set off at dawn from the villa at Thompson First to Wylland Park, which was a suburb in Aurous Hill.Wylland Park was about sixty kilometers away from the city center. Although it was a little far away, fortunately, there was a direct highway leading from the city center directly to Wylland Park.Claire’s high school classmate lived in the outskirts of Wylland Park. When they had both followed the directions on the navigation system to the community where the other party lived at, they discovered that it turned out to be an old community that was probably at least twenty to thirty years old.All the houses in this community were no more than six floors high and the houses were all built very densely together. The green paint on the outside of the houses was all already mottled, revealing the color of the cement.The entrance of the community was also very narrow. In ad

As soon as he heard this, Charlie asked Claire curiously, “What? She’s getting married today and she only informed you about it?”“Yes…” Claire replied. “She wants me to come and help her out. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t be able to handle everything on her own. I was originally planning to ask her to look for a few old classmates to help her prepare for her wedding. It would be great if they could come just to cheer her up too but she’s not willing to do that.”Charlie replied helplessly, “I guess she doesn’t want to lose face in front of too many of her old classmates. So, it’s actually understandable.”Claire nodded slightly before she said, “I have never seen her being so pitiful before. It is her most important wedding day but her own natal family and her in-laws are both giving her trouble…”As she spoke, Claire could only sigh as she said, “Charlie, in fact, I think I was really fortunate to marry you. If I was really forced by my family to marry a rich heir from a wealthy

At this time, a middle-aged man shouted in a cold voice, “This boy’s family is really bullying and taking advantage of others. You’re already pregnant with their grandchild and they aren’t even willing to give you any dowry at all. Aren’t they afraid that you’re going to abort the baby?”A young man replied, “Why would the Scotson family be afraid? They wish that my sister would abort the baby. This is because they despise and look down on my sister and they think that my sister isn’t worthy of marrying into their family.”After that, he continued speaking, “Sister, why does it seem as though you’re obsessed? Why do you have to marry that guy with the last name Scotson? That b*stard and his whole family are all so wicked! Why don’t you ask around our community and see if there are any other girls who did not receive a dowry from their in-laws when they were getting married? My good friend Samuel’s sister got married to an ordinary man from the next county and the guy’s family gave my

At this time, the abusive voice upstairs had already escalated.The middle-aged woman scolded angrily, “How did I even give birth to a wastrel like you? I worked so hard to support you and pay for your university education. You haven’t even made much money for our family for the past two years and now, you’re already rushing off to give birth to a child for someone else. If I had known that you’d be such an unconscionable person, then I should have thrown you away after I gave birth to you!”The young woman cried as she said, “Mom, the reason why I could attend university is entirely because I was relying on student loans! I’m still repaying the student loan right now. At that time, you did not even allow me to go to university. You even wanted to marry me off when I was just eighteen years old. You told me that the earlier a girl marries, the more valuable it will be!”“I tried my best to get admitted into university but you still refused to let me attend university. You even tried

After she was done speaking, she introduced Charlie to the young boy. “Francis, this is my husband, Charlie.”“Husband?” Francis asked in surprise. “Claire, you’re married already?”Claire nodded slightly before she smiled and said, “Yes, I’ve already been married for more than three years now. Where’s your sister? Is she at home?”At this time, a young girl with a five-fingerprint mark on her face came over as she faked a smile on her face and said, “Claire, you’re here!”This girl was also quite beautiful and she has a very good figure too. She was definitely someone from the upper middle class.However, the girl was obviously wearing a very cheap wedding dress. It could even be seen that some of the lacey parts of the wedding dress was already torn.A man and woman suddenly walked out of the room at this time. The couple looked like they were both in their early fifties and they had very cold expressions on their faces at this time. When they saw Claire, the couple looked at M

Zachary couldn't help pointing at the screen and snapping, "Fucking loser! The more you feel pressed, the less you should be nervous! What are you thinking?! You're falling right under that bastard's trap!"Jacob was frustrated too, growling through his teeth, "Shit! I didn't think that bastard was a sly old fox. Fucking hell!"He then sighed, shaking his head. "Forget it, Zachary—I'm going home to pack my shit, and I'll depart for Dubai first thing tomorrow. Just handle that bronze sculpture for me and wire the money over."As he was about to get off, Zachary sighed in exasperation and apologetically said, "Sorry, Mr. Wilson… but it's fine! Even if this plan screwed up, just let me cook up another plan to destroy Raymond Cole!"Jacob ignored him as he strode out of the car, but that was when Raymond spoke audibly from Zachary's phone, "You can calm down. I'm not accusing you of lying to me. I just think that it's not Renaissance… Rather, it's medieval.""E-Early medieval…?" Billy

In Treasure Measure, Raymond unwrapped the red cloth around the bronze sculpture in front of Billy and the camera.There was a brief flash of surprise on his face, and it was soon gone.Still, he picked up the bronze sculpture, fiddling with it as he asked, "Do you know where it's from?""Yeah," Billy nodded. "A Renaissance-era sculpture. I think the base makes it obvious."Raymond looked up at him and asked in curiosity, "Are you sure about that?"Billy, presuming that Raymond had already noticed a catch, quickly said, "Well, the old man had an expert check it, and the expert said it was immediately obvious! To be honest, I want to sell it because the old man just passed away—gotta sell this baby before my brother goes for a garage sale."He had certainly added more details to the script, and Raymond nodded as he said nonchalantly, "But it doesn't look Renaissance to me. Sculptures from that era—be it the craftsmanship or the unique attributes? It's quite different from this one

In the antique trade, items that raised eyebrows would only be shown in the evenings—when various shops were about to close.That was certainly the case in Antique Street, as most items arriving in the evening were either freshly excavated, stolen, or forgery used to dupe unsuspecting victims.Even if Raymond had started his career abroad, he had learned every last unspoken rule during his earlier stint in Aurous Hill.Seeing the wariness on Billy's face and the way he was holding something in his arms, Raymond knew right away that what he carried wasn't legal.Still, the antique trade was no different here than it was abroad.Tomb raiding, forgery, or adding some touch-ups that increased the value of an item—everyone across the globe pretty much played the same tricks, and Raymond had his fair share of experience.Still, he did not let his wariness show, instead grinning, "Yes, of course. Come on in—let's talk inside!"And with that, he quickly led Billy inside.Meanwhile, bot

"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
