Everyone was even more surprised at this time.Were these two cars really heading for the banquet hall?There was only one family who would be holding a wedding in the banquet hall today. Could they really be here for the wedding?However, every member of the Scotson family understood very well in their hearts. In the entire Scotson family, Draco’s father was indeed the wealthiest amongst them. However, he only had about tens of millions of dollars’ worth of assets. As for the others, they would probably have about ten million dollars, and those who were not so well off would probably have about a few million dollars’ worth of assets. At most, they could only be regarded as part of the middle class in Aurous Hill and they could not be regarded as being part of the upper class at all.So, given their family social status, how could they possibly have such a powerful friend?As everyone was still feeling puzzled, Charlie took the initiative to open the car door of the Bugatti Veyron

Just as everyone from the Scotson family was dumbfounded, Claire also got out from the Aston Martin’s driver seat.Claire looked at Draco before she smiled politely and said, “Draco, we’ve not seen each other for quite some time already. Congratulations to you and Magnolia! I hope that the two of you will have a happy marriage!”Draco was also shocked when he saw Claire.Claire was Magnolia’s high school classmate who was also one of Magnolia’s close friends. Therefore, he had already met Claire several times because of Magnolia and they could both be considered acquaintances.Moreover, Draco had already heard of Claire’s family situation before. He heard that Claire’s family had a company specializing in renovation and refurbishment works. However, it was just a small company and not a large scale company. She had also married a live-in son-in-law and it seemed as though the live-in son-in-law was not very capable at all.However, in his mind, Wilson Group was just a company with

Charlie glanced at Turk contemptuously before he said disdainfully, “You can just call me Young Master Wade.”Turk was a little surprised. What era was this? Why were there still people who referred to themselves as young masters nowadays?Could it be that he was a young master who was from a very strong, powerful, and large family background?If this was the case, then he would have truly encountered a very formidable man! So, Turk was very excited as he said, “Oh, Young Master Wade, my family is in the flour business. We own a flour mill in Aurous Hill. Perhaps you’ve tried the flour produced by our family before. Our flour brand is called ‘The Golden Family’.”Charlie frowned and asked, “The Golden Family? Isn’t that the name of that television series?”Turk felt a little embarrassed as he replied, “Well, we’re just trying to take advantage of the craze. The television drama is focused on gold powder, but our family is producing flour instead. I think there isn’t a big differ

Lilian was a typical egoist.No matter what it was, she would only consider one thing, and that was whether it would bring any benefit to herself at all.If anyone could bring any benefits to herself, even if it was a garbage collector on the side of the road, she would welcome him with a smile on her face and a welcoming gesture.However, if the other party would not be able to bring any benefits to her at all, she would not be bothered to give him face, even if he was the president of the United States.So, even if Charlie and his wife were both driving top luxury cars that were worth more than one hundred million dollars to marry Magnolia off, this did not change Lilian’s opinion of Magnolia at all.She knew that giving face was a very superficial thing and that only benefits that could be physically obtained were real.So, what if Magnolia had a very wealthy and powerful friend? Would she be able to get him to even give them a single cent of his money? Would she be able to ta

When Magnolia heard Lilian’s words, tears started flowing down her cheeks immediately.When Draco saw his fiancée getting reprimanded and humiliated by his own mother, he could not tolerate it any longer. Therefore, he hurriedly said, “Mom! Magnolia and I will be spending the rest of our lives together after we get married. We don’t care about anything else as long as the both of us can live well and happily together. So, you shouldn’t mind it too much too. It isn’t early anymore. Can we just prepare to proceed with the wedding now?”“No way!” Lilian looked at Magnolia with disgust before she said contemptuously, “I can’t get over the anger I’m feeling right now. Ever since I got married to your father, I’ve never suffered such a huge grievance in my life. Her family is obviously the one benefitting and climbing up the social ladder after she marries you. So, why does it seem as though we’re the one who would be benefiting from this marriage instead? Your father and I have already be

Lilian had always disagreed with her son and Magnolia’s marriage.However, the reason why she had agreed to hold the wedding today was because she wanted to wash her hands of it as much as she could.Therefore, she decided to embarrass and humiliate Magnolia and her family today. She wanted to make it seem as though she was unable to lift her head up high in front of her relatives and friends because of Magnolia’s parents today. With this alone, she would be able to stand on the moral high ground and refuse to allow Magnolia to marry into her family today.This was also representative of what smart parents would do in their daily lives.Smart parents would never give their children an ultimatum whenever they had some kind of dispute with their children.If they made a resolute decision to reject their child’s decision without a doubt, then if their child could not get over the matter or pass the hurdle in the future, then the child would definitely blame or hate his parents in fut

There were two relatively large sales channels for his flour. One was the large supermarkets, such as Carrefour and Walmart. The other was through the medium-sized chain supermarkets such as the supermarkets owned by the Morningstar family.The flour mill industry had relatively low technology content and there was also fierce competition.There were many big grain and oil brands such as Bertolli and Adolphus in Oskia. Their brands were relatively strong and so, their products were also selling relatively well.Moreover, there were also at least a few other local flour brands in every city.So, a small brand like his own would only be able to generate a certain amount of sales locally and his sales were very dependent on the sales channels.If the sales channels gave him more display positions and bought more of his goods, then he would be able to make more money.However, if the sales channels did not give him any display positions or buy any of his goods, then he would not be a

Lilian felt very lost and confused at this time.The thirty million dollar dowry was certainly very attractive. However, the main point was that she would have to ask her son to marry a pregnant woman.Wasn’t this what people would often refer to as fathering someone else’s child?Although she was not a young person anymore, she still had some understanding of these buzzwords.However, when she thought about the fact that Mr. Morningstar had already offered a thirty million dowry and that he was also offering various resources to support their family, then Lilian began to look forward to it deep within her heart.In her opinion, as long as he was willing to give them a lot of money, then it would not be a big problem for her son to father someone else’s child.However, the crucial point of this matter was that it would be easy for her to explain things to her relatives and friends if the other party was pregnant with an Oskian child. She could just tell her relatives and friends

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
