After Lilian had spoken, she rushed off into the crowd and said to Draco, “Come quick! Follow me to greet your future father-in-law. I’m warning you, if you spoil my plans, your father and I will never forgive you!”Draco was infuriated. “I’ve already told you, I’m cutting all ties with you. What future father-in-law are you talking about?!”Magnolia felt a tightening feeling in her chest as she looked at Draco and asked, “Draco, what is this all about?”In the spur of the moment, Draco shouted angrily, “My parents have gone crazy from greed! They desperately want me to marry this big boss’s daughter, and they want me to marry into the other family. There was also a rumor saying that their daughter was pregnant with a mixed-race man’s baby, and they want her to give birth to it.”After saying those words, everyone, including Magnolia, Claire, and Charlie, were stunned. Even the rest of the Scotson family were shocked by the news!Charlie finally understood the situation. This husband a

As the voices were drowned out by the silence, Draco immediately spoke up, “Uncle Morningstar, I am very sorry but I can’t marry your daughter. I already have the love of my life, and I am only going to marry her.”“What game are you playing at?” Zell Morningstar bellowed with arched brows as he glared at Lilian. “I even brought my daughter here and now… you do this?! Are you playing me as a fool? Or are you trying to take this opportunity to force me to increase the dowry?”“No! No!” Lilian quickly shook her hands in reply. In a guilty voice, she said, “Mr. Morningstar, I dare not take you as a fool. This son of mine, he is… mentally challenged! I am currently lecturing him!”Draco immediately intervened, “You don’t have to lecture me anymore, I’m leaving now!”Lilian shouted, “You dare?! If you walk out today, I will break your legs!”Charlie, who had tried to keep his mouth shut for the day, finally lost his cool. He turned to Lilian and said impatiently, “Old hag, if you still

A fifty-plus-year-old man who already had a family and a home, to marry Mr. Morningstar’s daughter?!Charlie’s words made the entire scene explode in anger.Zell Morningstar became infuriated and began scolding, “You must be looking for death's door! How dare you want for my precious daughter to marry Draco’s father?!”Charlie laughed, “You must be quite blind. Didn’t you just see that Draco was not interested in marrying your daughter? Draco’s parents, on the other hand, seem to want your daughter in their family… very desperately… So, wouldn’t the best solution to this dilemma be to allow Mr. Scotson to marry your precious daughter?”“You little b*stard! What nonsense are you spouting!” Lilian was fuming. “To let my husband marry Mr. Morningstar’s daughter… then what about me?!”Charlie continued, “You? I thought you wanted Mr. Morningstar’s daughter to be part of your family? Doesn’t this solve your problem? You should be thankful for my suggestion.”Charlie then turned to Turk and

”You… you…” Lilian couldn’t find the words to fight back. She turned to Hans and commanded him, “Hans! Come help me beat up this useless good-for-nothing b*stard!”Hans took a few steps backward and said in an annoyed tone, “Second Aunt, I thought you just mentioned that I am not part of your family? You even asked me to scram. Now you want me to beat someone up for you? You change your face faster than a woman changes clothes!”Lilian said with a forced smile, “Hans, please don’t get angry. Whatever I said just now was all words of frustration. Don’t you want to see the Scotson family improve?”“I’m sorry, aunty,” Hans replied almost instantly. “Your family is your family. My family is mine. We are not a family. So, if you want to beat someone up, do it yourself!”After he was done speaking, Hans turned to his other family members and shouted, “Let’s all not get involved in this matter. This is none of our business. Other people’s family problems are theirs to solve. Don’t be a fool a

Jayden had always regarded Zell as a source of easy money. The annual protection fee that Zell paid to him alone was already as much as seven or eight million dollars. In addition to the portion handed over to Albert, Jayden could also save two to three million dollars for himself.So, as soon as he heard that Zell wanted him to beat someone up for him, he blurted out without any hesitation, “Okay, wait a minute. I will bring my men there now!”After Zell had thanked him, he hung up the phone before looking at Charlie and sneering as he said, “Young lad, don’t blame me for not giving you a way out. I asked you to kneel in front of me just now, but you did not cherish the opportunity that I gave to you. Even if you decide to kneel in front of me now, it is already too late.”Charlie smiled as he asked, “Who did you call just now? Chief Jay? Is it Bruce Willis from the movie ?”“You must be mad!” Zell replied coldly. “Chief Jay is Jayden Marquez. He is one of Don Albert’s F

At this time, about thirty or forty aggressive and ferocious-looking men suddenly came out of the other cars.After that, under Chief Jay’s command, these men ran over and surrounded the crowd of people immediately.Zell hurriedly waved at him. “Chief Jay!”Jayden nodded slightly before he glanced at him and asked, “Mr. Morningstar, who does not know their own place and actually dared to offend you?”Zell pointed at Charlie before he said angrily, “Chief Jay, this little b*stard here did not only insult me, but he also insulted my daughter!”Jayden raised his brows as he turned around to look at Charlie. As soon as he saw Charlie, Jayden shuddered in fright.F*ck!It was Master Wade!Jayden was one of Albert’s Four Great Guardians, and he was one of Albert’s favorite and more powerful men after all. He had seen Charlie before when the latter had held a banquet at The Heaven Springs before this.However, at that time, Albert himself had been extremely humble toward Charlie, and

When Jayden heard Zell’s words, he was so furious that he gave him another slap across his face as he cursed, “You still dare to talk back to me? You’d better pay attention to what I’ve just said!”Zell felt extremely wronged and depressed after getting slapped twice. When had he ever gotten beaten up by anyone at all ever since he had become an adult?Not to mention, Jayden had actually slapped him twice in front of so many people today.Although he felt very angry, he did not dare to express any dissatisfaction at this moment at all.He could only nod in anguish before he said, “Chief Jay, you are right. I should pay more attention to what I say in public in the future.”Jayden snorted coldly before he glanced at Charlie. He could not help but feel a little guilty. So, he hurriedly asked Zell, “What the hell is going on here today? Tell me everything in full detail and order!”When Zell heard his words, he immediately spoke up with an expression full of anger and grievance. “Ch

He had even slapped Zell in his face twice before telling Zell to marry his daughter off to Turk…The latter incident was much worse compared to the slap on his face!Zell felt even more depressed at this time, and he truly felt as though he wanted to die. He trembled as he said, “Chief Jay… you cannot turn your back on me and favor someone else now! No matter what it is, both of us can be considered buddies and good brothers! My daughter could also be considered as your niece! Do you really have the heart to marry her off to a bad old man such as Turk?!”Jayden immediately replied, “Zell, even though both of us are familiar with one another, you cannot simply talk nonsense. Both of us are just ordinary acquaintances. Whoever said that I can be considered as your own brother?!”Zell was shocked, and he hurriedly replied, “Chief Jay, we have already known each other for so many years. I have never failed to give you benefits every year. I even gave you a big red envelope just some t

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
