As Charlie was seated in Wrigley’s car on the way to the Golding family villa, he received a phone call from Loreen. “Charlie, I have already booked the flight tickets for both of us to return to Aurous Hill. It will be at nine o’clock in the morning tomorrow, okay?”“Okay.” Charlie replied, “How much is the flight ticket? I will pay you back.”Loreen complained, “It’s just a flight ticket. Do you really have to pay me back for it? Aren’t you being too polite with me?”Charlie said seriously, “You paid for my flight ticket, so how can I not pay you back for it?”Loreen snorted as she retorted, “Then, you have already saved my life several times now. How can I not repay you? When will Mr. Wade give me a chance to marry him in order to express my gratitude, then?”Charlie was speechless, and he could only say helplessly, “Alright, then. I will not be so polite with you about the flight ticket in that case. See you at the airport tomorrow morning.”Loreen replied, “Make sure you g

When she saw that Charlie had already returned, Quinn stood up happily as she ran toward Charlie in a few steps. She grinned as she said, “Brother Charlie, why are you back so early? I thought that you would not be back until evening!”When Charlie felt Quinn holding tightly onto his arm with her hands, he could not help but feel a little restless and unsettled. However, he did not dare to have any crooked or strange thoughts. So, he said, “I was just attending a birthday banquet. I came home as soon as it ended.”As he spoke, Charlie asked her, “Uncle and Aunt are not home?”“Yes.” Quinn replied softly, “My dad has already gone to the company, and my mom has gone to attend a charity event. There will be a charity auction and wine party after the charity event. They will not be having dinner at home tonight.”Charlie nodded. He knew that Rachel also had a very reputable and prestigious status. She was also considered one of the top-ranking figures in Eastcliff. After her husband ha

After receiving Charlie’s definite answer, Quinn danced happily as she ran back into her room. She immediately changed into a thick long down jacket.In order not to get recognized by the public, she also put on a face mask that would help her to keep warm, and a furry hat with two cute rabbit ears on it.She also grabbed a pair of round-framed black-rimmed glasses. After putting the glasses on, Quinn simply looked like a cute and adorable teenager. She did not look anything like the celebrity, Quinn, who all men were crazily obsessed and in love with.In truth, deep down, Quinn was actually a very cute and quirky girl.She had very simple thinking, and she had no experience in love or getting along with the opposite sex at all. Therefore, she certainly would not have any of those ulterior motives that other girls usually had.Charlie could see the shadow of their childhood memories from the look on her face. Looking back now, Quinn was indeed the sweet burden of his childhood.T

This was the nine grand and majestic dragons carving that was unique to the ancient royal buildings. It could be said that this was of the highest standard. There was also a similar carving of the nine grand and majestic dragons in the historical king’s palace.It was okay for a person to carve this in their homes in modern times. However, back in ancient times, only the king was allowed to use this kind of high-standard carving.If the royal family discovered that someone was using a similar kind of carving as the royal family, this would be considered treason, and the king could punish the offender’s entire family.Moreover, there were four courtyards in this manor. The first courtyard at the entrance of the manor, had a miniature version of the Sudbury garden with rocks, a small pavilion, a small bridge, and running water built in the front yard.There were only a few loyal servants of the Golding family working in the manor. So, Quinn did not have any scruples, and she simply t

Although Charlie did not respond to Quinn’s words, his childhood memories seemed to continue resurfacing in his mind and memories. Therefore, he could not help but feel that he was already a little closer to Quinn at this time.He even came up with an imaginary scene in his mind. If his parents were still alive and they had not moved to Aurous Hill back then, would he have already been married to Quinn by now?Perhaps, the person who was guarding this pond filled with Koi fishes right now would not only be Quinn and himself. Instead, Quinn’s parents and his own parents would also be here with them.It might even be possible for them to already have one or two children who would be following them. The children would be Quinn’s side, chattering endlessly at this time. They would be calling for their father and mother as they asked them about many details and memories of the Koi fishes.In fact, all of this was not just Charlie’s unreasonable conjecture.He knew his father’s characte

Both of them had come here earlier than Charlie and Quinn and had already been playing happily for more than half an hour now. Just as they were planning to take a break, she suddenly saw Charlie walking hand-in-hand with Quinn!Quinn was wearing a thick face mask, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and a hat with a pair of cute rabbit ears. So, Loreen could not recognize who she was. However, Charlie did not do anything to cover up his face or appearance at all. Moreover, Charlie was the man of her dreams that she was constantly dreaming of day and night. So, she naturally recognized Charlie at a single glance!At this moment, she felt as though all her views and perception had been completely subverted!Why would Charlie be holding another girl’s hand to come here and ice skate?Moreover, both of them seemed very close and affectionate. Their relationship was clearly very abnormal at first glance!If she recalled correctly, Charlie had never even been so intimate or close with Clai
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1607
At this time, Charlie did not know that he was being closely watched by Loreen.He was completely immersed in the leisure sport that he used to love very much as a child. Everyone had a childlike innocence, and Charlie was no exception.When they were at their happiest moment, a young child who was wearing ice skating blades suddenly started skating faster and faster on the ice lake as she headed straight toward Charlie and Quinn’s ice skating cart.Unexpectedly, the child lost control of her direction. She did not even turn around as she was heading closer and closer toward Quinn. She was just heading directly in Quinn’s direction at this time.When she saw that she was about to crash into Quinn, the young child screamed out in fear. Quinn turned around and she had a shock too!Although the child looked like she was only around ten years old and would probably only weigh about thirty to forty kilograms, the impact brought about by the fast momentum and speed should not be underes

At the most critical moment, Charlie put Quinn down from his arms. After that, he quickly chased after the young girl who had already lost control. Just one second before the young girl was about to crash into Loreen, Charlie caught up to the young girl and lifted her up in his arms!When Loreen opened her eyes, she realized that it was Charlie who had stopped the young girl who had lost control at the most critical and timely moment. She could not help but feel very happy and also furious at the same time.She was very happy and delighted because Charlie would always appear in front of her and rescue her from all sorts of dangers, just like Prince Charming during all of the critical moments that she faced. At the same time, she was furious because she had been confessing her love for him for so long, and she had already devoted herself to him in the hopes that she would be able to become his underground lover. However, Charlie had rejected and turned her down repeatedly until this

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A

While Jacob was feeling delighted after pulling off his con, Raymond had posted details of the bronze sculpture online.The website he was using was the biggest platform for antique collectors and the antique trade where each user could set a favorite tag in the antique category and era. If a user who preferred canvas art pieces of the Tudor dynasty set that label as their favorite, they would immediately be notified with text or desktop notifications in regards to any item with the same label.As medieval bronze sculptures were rare in the first place, most who were interested had already set that label on their favorites and were immediately notified soon after Raymond posted pictures of the bronze sculpture online.The collectors were naturally eager to check it out as gilded sculptures of the medieval era were really rare, and most collectors would go a lifetime without picking one up for their collection.On top of that, the seller had even listed a major flaw and was only ask

"Nope," Jacob chuckled. "We were both working separately and just happened to get back in at the same time."Then, he immediately became smug and excited, "Guess what, dear? I made 200 thousand out of the deal! In net profits!""For real?!" Elaine gaped. "200 thousand in just one night?! That's amazing! How did you do that?"Claire was surprised to hear that too, and she came over to ask, "What deal was it, Dad?"Jacob grinned, "Oh, it's nothing to brag about. It's just that I managed to pick up a nice antique item thanks to my wisdom and then sold it for 200 thousand."Pausing, he then sighed in dismay, "However, the buyer wasn't too rich—I would have squeezed him for 400 thousand, but he couldn't afford more, so I had to settle for less."Elaine quickly exclaimed, "Shit, we're talking about a loss of 200 thousand! People would work a year and still never earn that much…"She trailed off for a moment before asking, "By the way, dear—are we still flying out first thing tomorrow?

Jacob laughed. "Put that issue behind us? Sure, but we're not becoming friends. Hell, I can't even hold a grudge now that you're shit out of luck."Then, his tone changed sharply and suddenly became icy, "But you see, Aurous Hill is not a place you can stay just because you want to. No… After this, you're not going to be able to make a living in the antique trade.""If I were you, I'd be running a thousand miles away, far away from Aurous Hill where no one would know my face to start over. That way, you just might be able to make a living."Raymond simply kept smiling, "You need not be concerned about how I'm going to survive here, Mr. Wilson. I'd be very grateful if you'd cease any form of harassment once you leave my premises."Jacob pursed his lips, staring at Raymond in disappointment. "I'm plenty magnanimous, so I won't stoop to such pettiness. Just do whatever you like!"Clicking his tongue, he huffed, "Tut, tut… And here I'd thought you're tough, but you're just yet another

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an

That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6480
Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l
