Even though Magnolia’s father was using all of his strength, he felt that he was hitting the rolling pin against hard steel. After that, there was a strong and violent vibration in between his thumb and index finger. He felt so much pain that he released the rolling pin immediately and he held onto his wrist as he yelled out in pain.When he looked at the rolling pin again, he realized that it was already broken into two!This really shocked Magnolia’s father.This man could actually break a rolling pin into half using his bare hands. Moreover, it seemed as though the other party was not in any pain at all. This guy was obviously a well-skilled fighter at first glance!How could he possibly afford to offend someone like this? What if he suffered a concussion after he punched him? Who could he reason things out with then? After all, he was just an old man with no money and no power at all. After getting beaten up, he would have no way to get anyone to avenge him either.As he thoug

Magnolia was still wiping the tears off her face when Charlie and Claire brought Magnolia all the way out of the community.Claire kept comforting Magnolia but Charlie did not step forward at all.After exiting the community, there were many people surrounding and competing to take pictures of the two cars that they had stopped by the side of the road.Charlie stepped forward to separate the crowd of people who were in front of the Aston Martin car. After that, he opened the co-driver’s seat and asked Magnolia to get into the car first.Magnolia was stunned when she saw the Aston Martin One-77 in front of her. She asked in surprise, “Claire, this car…”Claire smiled before she said, “My husband borrowed these two cars from his friend. Don’t worry, you’ll definitely be able to save face if we drive these two super sports cars to your in-laws’ house.”Magnolia was filled with guilt as she said, “Claire, I thought that your BMW would have been perfect. I really did not expect you to

“What the hell?”When Francis’s mother heard this, everything turned dark in front of her eyes!One hundred million dollars? What was this?Even if the other party had one million dollars, he would already be a very incredible rich man in her eyes. If he had ten million dollars, he would be a big and powerful figure that they could not afford to offend. If he had one hundred million dollars, he would be a god!What’s more, they did not just have a net worth of one hundred million dollars but they were actually driving two cars worth more than one hundred million dollars!As she thought about this, she hurriedly asked, “Are you telling me the truth? Are these two weird-looking cars really worth so much money?”Francis nodded as he tried to pull his mother up and said, “Do you think that I’d lie to you? Do you think that I don’t want a new house? But in this case, how can we even try to force it? Our family will suffer and be in deep shit if we offend a big and powerful figure!”F

Since Claire was so good to her, Magnolia felt that Claire would definitely not harm her in any way.Charlie drove the car directly to Jasmine’s bridal shop.Even Claire was a little surprised when he stopped the car.She had just asked him to look for a friend so they could borrow a better wedding dress from them. However, she really did not expect him to be able to borrow a wedding dress here!This was the store owned by the world’s top wedding dress designer, Vera Wang!Even Claire did not dare to expect to have the opportunity to wear such a top and luxurious wedding dress.Moreover, she really did not expect her husband to be so resourceful even in this area.Could it be that the bridal shop also requested for Charlie’s help to look at their Feng Shui?As she was deep in thoughts, Charlie had already pushed his car door open as he got out of the car.At this time, a tall, charming and noble woman walked out of the bridal shop. Claire realized that she knew who this woman

Claire and Magnolia were both a little nervous as they wondered whether they should go in at this time.Both of them knew very well that this brand of wedding dresses was very expensive. Moreover, it was by no means affordable for ordinary people.It would already cost them about tens of thousands of dollars to rent a high-end custom wedding dress at any general bridal shop.These wedding dresses were designed by Vera Wang and it would cost them at least six figures to rent any one of their wedding dresses for a day.If they were to buy one of these wedding dresses, then it would be even more expensive and it would cost at least several million dollars!Magnolia felt that she was not worthy of such an expensive wedding dress. Even if she were to just touch the wedding dress, she was afraid that she would not be able to afford to repay the other party for the wedding dress if she damaged it.So, how could she possibly dare to attend her wedding in such an expensive wedding dress?

Claire helped her choose a very beautiful wedding dress with a tube top. After that, she said, “I think this one suits you very well. It is very dignified and elegant and it will also reveal your collarbone, which is very temperamental.”Magnolia hesitated for a moment before she said, “We’ll just go with your suggestion then. I really don’t know how to choose…”Jasmine smiled as she said, “Mrs. Wade has very good taste. This wedding dress had the highest ratings and preference here. I too think that this wedding dress suits Miss Zevell’s figure and temperament very well.”Immediately after that, Jasmine asked two very professional bridal shop assistants to come over. Both of them immediately took the wedding dress before they respectfully led Magnolia to the fitting room.After a few minutes, Magnolia came out wearing a white and elegant wedding dress with a tube top. She felt a little unnatural as she walked out of the fitting room.Claire’s eyes lit up immediately as she exclai

Claire suddenly felt jealous at this moment.She guessed that Jasmine must have had a very good impression of her husband, Charlie.Otherwise, she would not be looking at her husband like this.This made Claire suddenly realize that she and her husband were not close and intimate enough. That was the reason why there was still a certain distance between them.This distance would make it especially easy for a third party to intervene in their relationship.If they both had very close and deep feelings for one another and if their hearts were close to one another, then it would be naturally impossible for them to leave any gaps for a third party to interfere in their relationship.As she thought about this, Claire suddenly felt an unprecedented impulse.At this moment, Charlie saw that Claire was still in a daze and he said to her quickly, “Dear, we have to leave quickly or we’ll be late.”Claire only recovered her senses then before she nodded unnaturally and said hurriedly, “Th

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
