Quinn smiled slightly before she said, “Here, I will move to the front a little. This way, your face will look a little smaller, and you will look much more beautiful then.”The two women continued taking a selfie together as though they were sisters.After the photo was taken, Claire held her cell phone in her hand as she asked excitedly, “Miss Golding, I… can I post this picture on my WeChat?”Claire was actually a woman without any vanity.When Charlie had bought her a BMW, she did not post it to her circle of friends on WeChat.When Charlie had arranged for their wedding in the Sky Garden at Shangri-La, she did not post it to her circle of friends on WeChat.When Charlie had brought her to drive and experience a super sports car that cost tens of millions of dollars, she did not post it to her circle of friends on WeChat.Even when she moved into the top-notch villa at Thompson First, Claire did not post it to her circle of friends on WeChat.The only time she had ever post

After Quinn and Claire had added each other as WeChat friends, Quinn looked at Charlie before she smiled and said, “By the way, Master Wade, why don’t we add each other as friends too?”After that, Quinn handed her WeChat QR code over to Charlie.Charlie could only take out his cell phone and scan her QR code before he added her as a friend as well.Quinn looked at him happily as she had gotten her way before she asked him in a stern voice, “Master Wade, when will you be able to leave for Eastcliff? Can you give me an estimated time so that I can make all the necessary preparations?”Charlie replied, “Next week, but I cannot give you the exact time yet.”Quinn nodded before she smiled and said, “Master Wade, my father and I will be waiting for you in Eastcliff, then!”Charlie suddenly thought of what Quinn had said before. She said that after he arrived in Eastcliff and met her father, she could not wait to see how her father would teach him a lesson.The more Charlie thought ab

”No! I will not leave!” Kazuki could not move, but he could still move his head slightly. At this time, he said hoarsely, “There is no way my injuries can be cured by any doctors. I will not be any better off in Japan compared to when I am here. As your master, I cannot possibly leave you here alone. I want to accompany you until the end of the competition before I return to Japan with you.”Nanako hurriedly said, “Master, I might not be able to win and become the champion in this competition. I’ve already watched the video of Aurora’s match after the match today. She is much stronger and has even greater strength than she did before. If I were to compete against a talented player like Joanna, it might take me a long battle to compete against her before I win the match with much difficulty. However, when Aurora was faced with Joanna, Aurora defeated her with just one move. That kind of strength is far beyond my capabilities…”Kazuki sighed as he said, “I also watched the live broad

On the way home, as Charlie drove, Claire, who was sitting in the co-driver seat, was still very excited, and she could not control her excitement at all.Her circle of friends had completely exploded today. Countless people have liked and commented on her picture. They were all very envious of her because she had such good luck and she actually had the opportunity to eat with the most popular female celebrity, Quinn Golding.Claire kept looking down as she fiddled with her cell phone. The expression of excitement on her face was simply beyond what words could describe.After replying to the comments left behind by a few of her friends, Claire looked at Charlie with a look of admiration on her face before she blurted out, “Husband, I’ve only found out today that you are truly amazing. I did not expect that even a big and popular celebrity like Quinn would actually appreciate your Feng Shui skills. I simply thought you could fool people, but it seems as though you really have some sk

Charlie replied awkwardly, “Nana, I have a very stable relationship with your sister-in-law. You cannot become a third party and get involved in our relationship just like that!”“I am a third party who is intervening in your relationship?!” Quinn replied angrily, “Charlie Wade! My parents had already betrothed me to you when I was just four or five years old! However, you and your wife have only been married for three to four years!”“Furthermore, although you had already disappeared for so many years, I never forgot you and have always lived up to our marriage contract! Moreover, I have always been brainwashing myself for so many years. No matter how many good men I meet in my life, I would always tell myself that I already have a fiancé and that I would definitely find him one day. Now that I have finally found you, you actually dare to call me a third party who is trying to intervene in your relationship?!”Quinn was getting even angrier and frustrated at this time.She did not

Charlie didn’t want to tell Claire the truth about him going to meet Quinn regarding her illness, so he told her that Liam needed his help for business matters.Claire didn’t think much of it and asked him not to come home too late before returning to her room upstairs to take a shower.Charlie started the car and drove back to the Shangri-La Hotel.Meanwhile, Quinn was in her luxury suite, waiting anxiously for Charlie’s arrival.The room she was staying in was the Shangri-La’s Presidential Suite, which had been occupied by Donald and Sean when they visited the city.It was the most expensive, luxurious, and spacious room that Shangri-La could offer with a floor area of hundreds of square meters.However, Quinn was the only resident in this vast presidential suite while her assistant, Dorothy, was living next door to her.When Charlie rang the doorbell of her room, Quinn, who was wearing a satin nightgown, rushed to the door and opened it.Upon seeing Charlie standing outside

For a family with a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars like the Golding family, they certainly could buy half of the entertainment industry if they wanted to.Charlie sighed and said, “Okay, princess, hurry up and sit on the sofa, I’ll check your pulse.”Quinn stared at him in astonishment and asked, “You do know how to treat people, don’t you?”Charlie retorted, “Of course! Did you think I was bluffing?”Quinn pouted. “I thought you were trying to sneak into my room in the middle of the night to take advantage of me under the false pretense of giving me medical treatment…”“I…” Charlie rolled his eyes in disbelief, feeling as though he almost wanted to cough up blood out of utter shock. “Mind you, I’m not that cheap!”Quinn gave him a blank stare and said, “Let me tell you, don’t you dare assume I’m the kind of woman who flirts around! Until now, I’ve never even held another boy’s hand besides yours! Moreover, even if you were not married now and wanted to fulfill your

Sensing that the discomfort in her body had completely diminished, Quinn stared at Charlie in utter disbelief and asked, “In traditional Chinese medicine, reading the pulse is just a diagnosis, not a treatment. Yet, how come I feel like I’ve recovered when all you’ve done is read my pulse?”Charlie said flatly, “There is an acupressure point on a person’s wrist that is dedicated to treating the stomach discomfort. You thought I was reading your pulse, but I was actually giving your acupressure point a massage.”Quinn gaped in astonishment, “Seriously? Can it truly work wonders?”Charlie nodded and said, “It’s the same theory as to why you rub your temples when you have a headache. It’s just that my technique is more uncanny so much so that it can deliver a much better and faster result.”Quinn couldn’t help exclaiming, “Charlie, you are truly amazing! I’ve seen so many doctors and taken so many kinds of medicine, however, I couldn’t cure it for more than a month. Despite that, a si

There were those in Antique Street who made their living from swindling the average Joe while others swindled antique traders.In fact, it was already cliche for them to trick antique traders with forgeries, and it was not surprising that someone had tried their luck on the opening day of Raymond's shop.As such, it was strange that he had just started today without any hype or even a proper shop sign, but someone was already after him.That told him that he was being targeted, and Raymond was putting his money on Zachary.The sole reason for that was how Zachary had come earlier to ask Raymond about how much capital he had, and he had humbly said a few hundred thousand.The fact that Billy had come and immediately demanded 500 thousand made even more sense—he wanted to siphon all of Raymond's capital.Even losing money wasn't the worst part—the worst was being labeled as an amateur.When that happened, customers who wanted the good stuff wouldn't come to him, and he would find

Just as Jacob was celebrating fooling Raymond, getting his revenge, and earning 200 thousand on top of that, Charlie was left musing to himself on the second floor of the teahouse.He knew that Billy was a conman as soon as he saw him, but he didn't understand why Raymond would buy from Billy.Could the item really be medieval as Raymond stated?As soon as the thought occurred to him, Charlie was sure of it. Given Raymond's knowledge of antiques, there was no way he would mess up in Antique Street of Aurous Hill.While his father-in-law and Zachary had worked hard to weave this elaborate conspiracy, Charlie still wondered how they would take the news that Raymond had bought something worth millions for just 300 thousand.Meanwhile, Raymond watched as Billy left and locked the door from the inside before studying the bronze sculpture once more.He trusted his own judgment that it was a gilded bronze statue from the medieval era. He was playing down its importance since the bronze

Meanwhile, Raymond sighed unhappily. "I really can't afford four hundred grand—like I said, there's not much to offer here in my shop, which I've been investing a lot in. I'd have to pay rent to the owner soon as well, and everything would end terribly for me if I paid that much…"Billy blurted right then, "You said it's medieval and worth millions, didn't you? You'd make a fortune if you sold it!"Raymond sighed again. "Million-dollar antiques aren't that easily sold, and people would be especially skeptical with a small business like mine. I could sell it at an auction too, but that's only happening when someone decides to organize one, not to mention the troublesome appraisal processes it involves.""And right now, I just think it's medieval in terms of style, but I'm no authority in the matter. In the end, it's up to experts and specific groups that would verify it, and if I messed up, it's entirely my loss.""Even if I'm lucky and it's medieval, I'd still have to wait until th

"Invest?!"Billy was left dumbstruck at the term.What even was this fool up to? This definitely wasn't in the script! What about the questions he was supposed to ask? It was like sitting for a grade-schooler test and suddenly being hit with a bar exam!In the car, Jacob blurted out, "What the hell is that bastard thinking? Is he really going to pay 250 thousand?!"Zachary pursed his lips. "Maybe he's just throwing us bait. Think about it—if we took the deal, we'd have to leave a contact number.""After that, he would trick us and say he sold it for ten million and lure us in for the five million. We'd definitely show up, wouldn't we? Once we came, it might turn out that he has called the cops and would even produce\ the bronze sculpture as evidence. Wouldn't we be just shooting ourselves in the foot?"Jacob was left in misery, his face contorting as he pouted, "But you said the cops wouldn't get involved…"Zachary rolled his eyes, "Yes, they wouldn't most of the time since that

However, neither Zachary nor Jacob expected Raymond to confuse them further as he asked Billy, "If you can afford to wait, you can leave the bronze sculpture with me as a consignment. I'll only take 10% off the sales while you get the rest—how about that?"Jacob was stunned and asked Zachary, "What the hell is he up to? Did he get too deep into character?"Zachary shook his head. "I don't get it either… is he trying to keep the bronze sculpture to use as evidence against us?"Jacob frowned. "I thought you said there was a gentleman agreement in this business, and the cops won't really care anyway?"Zachary snorted. "He said he would keep it as a consignment, meaning that he won't spend a dime. What if he told all the antique dealers instead of going to the cops? He would prove that he's sharp, making a name for himself… and what can we do? Do we take back the bronze sculpture? Even if we do, can we really ask for it?'"Fuck!" Jacob swore. "Then what are we waiting for? Tell Billy

In Treasure Measure, even Billy was having a hard time understanding what was going on.Before he came, Zachary made it very clear that he was here to dupe Raymond Cole, and he had come.As such, his job was now to claim that this bronze sculpture which was made in the last century was actually from the Renaissance era and then sell it to Raymond at a cutthroat price.But now, Raymond himself was saying that it was medieval? What was that supposed to mean?Even as he was left confused, he blurted out, "Sir, if you say it's from medieval times… then how much is it worth?"Raymond thought about it and said, "It's quite an unpopular item, but it's not to say that no one would buy it or that no one likes it. The main issue is that there were plenty of wars at that time, and most bronze would be used for weapons. Copper production would be low with rationing as well, so bronze tools were naturally rare for civilians.""Gilding is common for better quality items, and from the northern

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
