After they left the airport, Charlie drove Claire’s BMW and sent Loreen back to the Shangri-La first.On the way back, Claire wanted to invite Loreen to stay in their villa again. However, Loreen refused to do so.Although Loreen would be able to get closer to Charlie if she stayed in the villa at Thompson First, she was afraid of Elaine and Jacob. Both of them were really scary and could change a person’s view when they started fighting with one another. It was really awkward to sight such a scene from the standpoint of a bystander.Besides that, Loreen always felt as though there was still a ticking time bomb in the Wilson family.That time bomb was none other than Jacob’s first love, Matilda.Elaine did not know anything about Matilda, and yet she could already have such intense fights and arguments with Jacob. If she found out about her, then there would certainly be even more drama at their house.Therefore, she felt that she should not stay in the villa at Thompson First so

As he was speaking, Charlie suddenly recalled something and he hurriedly said, “By the way, wife. After coming back this time, I will just rest for a day or two. After that, I have to travel to Japan as soon as possible. I already told you the last time that there is also a client in in Japan who keeps urging me to go over there.”Claire nodded before asking him, “How long will you be gone for? New Year is only about half a month away and many units have already started to prepare for the holiday. Maybe you can rest for a while before you resume working after New Year.”Charlie smiled as he said, “I have already promised the other party that I will be going over there so how can I stand them up at the last minute then? You can rest assured that I will be done in a few days’ time. In fact, Japan is not too far away from Oskia. If I fly to Japan directly from Aurous Hill, the trip will only take me about two hours.”“Okay then…” Claire nodded slightly before she said, “Then, you have

Charlie smiled indifferently when he saw the eager expression on Elaine’s face. After opening the rear car door, he took out a bunch of Hermes gift boxes from inside.When Elaine saw so many Hermes boxes, her eyes suddenly widened in surprise. Even her eyes were also shining brightly at this time.Deep down filled with excitement, she could not help but exclaim. ‘Oh my god! It’s Hermes! Hermes bags are all too expensive. Charlie might not be willing to buy it for me. However, even a Hermes scarf already costs tens of thousands of dollars!’So, Elaine came forward excitedly. While covering her mouth in joy, she said, “Oh! Oh! It’s Hermes! My good son-in-law, you are too generous! What did you buy for your mother from Hermes?”Charlie picked out a few different sized gift boxes. He handed them over to Elaine as he said, “Mom, the big one is a Hermes bag that matches your temperament perfectly. Why don’t you see if you like it?”When Elaine heard that it was a bag, she jumped in exci

Charlie nodded as he said, “About twenty to thirty thousand dollars.”“Oh! My son-in-law, you are really too generous! You even bought me such an expensive scarf! I can already buy a mink coat with twenty to thirty thousand dollars!” After that, Elaine opened the other gift box before she exclaimed, “Oh! This is a classic Hermes belt for women! My good son-in-law, I’ve loved this belt for several years but I’ve been feeling very reluctant to buy it. I really didn’t expect you to fulfil my dreams for me…”Jacob, who was standing aside, felt a little envious and jealous. He could not help but ask, “My good son-in-law, didn’t you prepare any gifts for your dad then?”Charlie smiled as he said, “Of course, I did! I prepared a few gifts for you.”As he spoke, Charlie handed two Hermes gift boxes over to Jacob.Slapping his thighs in joy, Jacob said excitedly, “Oh! You prepared gifts for me too! You are really my good son-in-law!”As soon as his voice fell, Jacob pranced forward and

When Jacob showed off the Rolex watch which he received from Matilda to Charlie in the car, Claire had also been sitting in the back seat.So, she understood the reason why her father was asking Charlie for a Rolex watch at this time. It was just a formality, mainly because he wanted to look for an opportunity to openly wear the Rolex watch that Matilda had given to him.At this moment, although Claire felt a little uncomfortable, she could only turn a blind eye to the situation when she recalled the pasts of her father and mother, and all the grievances that her father had suffered and endured over the years.However, Claire really did not expect her mother to join in the fun at this time. She even asked Charlie to buy her a Rolex watch.She hurriedly told Elaine, “Mom, Rolex watches are usually worn by men. It will not look good on you. If you really like watches, then I can just buy a female Tissot watch for you later.”Elaine replied in disgust, “Don’t even think of fooling me

Claire said gratefully, “Thank you, husband but in future, you should not spend so lavishly on me like this…”Charlie knew that Claire certainly would not be able to accept such pricey gifts. So, he simply smiled and said, “Okay, I understand. I will buy you much more affordable gifts in future.”…After going into the house, Elaine hurriedly placed all the Hermes gifts that Charlie had given to her over the floors in the living room.While displaying the gifts and package boxes nicely, she took out her cell phone to take various pictures from different angles.Then, she chose nine pictures that she was most satisfied with and immediately uploaded those pictures on her social media with the caption: “My good son-in-law went to work in Eastcliff and he gave me so many Hermes as gifts after coming home! I am extremely happy!”Likes and comments surged on Elaine’s social media account in an instant. Seeing many women hurling envious and bitter comments on her post, she could not hel

Charlie could only shake his head helplessly when he saw Jacob sighing.His father-in-law really had not seen much of this world before.When he played with antiques, he could only afford fake antiques. It was also the same case when it came to tea leaves.The main reason was simply because his status in the Wilson family was simply too low and he had never been valued by Lady Wilson in the past. After that, Elaine had been oppressing him for many years. He had not been living a satisfactory life and he did not have much money either.Fortunately, Jacob had a pretty good personality. If it was someone else, the other party would have already suffered from depression due to taking the situation too hard.As Charlie and his family were happily tasting and enjoying the fine and premium tea leaves, Hannah was preparing lunch for the family in Villa A04 next door.Hannah had always been despised by this family as she was previously pregnant with the child of the supervisor at the coal

At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open.Christopher accompanied the old lady as they walked into the villa first.Harold and Wendy followed behind them.The old lady was wearing an elegant mink coat. Her face was radiant, glowing in good health and she looked extremely happy.Ever since Wilson Group was revived, Lady Wilson had been in high spirits every day and her face glowed with radiance, as if she had just eaten a damn Rejuvenating Pill.As soon as she entered the villa, Lady Wilson opened her mouth and said, “Oh! Although the Webb family is not doing that well anymore, a rich family who had become less richer than they previously were, is still richer compared to a poor family. With this project that they had given to us, we should be able to make a profit of at least twenty million dollars within the next year. This is simply too great!”Christopher, who was standing aside, laughed as he said, “Mom, this is all because you had great foresight! If you had not been

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

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
