Wendy and Christopher could not accept this fact at all. It felt as though they were being slapped and humiliated in public! They really wanted to bury themselves in a hole right then.This was insane!Just then, an old man suddenly walked out of the villa.The old man walked towards Charlie before he asked in a respectful manner, “Hello, are you Mr. Wade?”Charlie nodded before he replied, “Yes, I am. May I know who you are?”The old man replied, “Hello, Mr. Wade. I am Mr. White’s butler and I am responsible for taking care of this villa. I am Barry Landon but you can call me Barry. I am in charge of the maintenance of the villa.”“Barry?” Wendy stared at him in shock as though she had just been electrocuted.Wasn’t Barry her fiancé, Gerald’s butler? Why was he here?Did this villa belong to the White family?If that was the case, then why was it given to Charlie?Wendy quickly asked, “Barry, what is going on? Does this villa belong to the White family?”Barry replied, “Yes

Gerald was also stunned.The villa at Thompson First was the most valuable property owned by the White family.This house was owned by Zeke, the current head of the White family, who was Gerald’s uncle.Zeke was Kevin’s father, and Gerald’s father was only second-in-command.Even though Gerald and his father really loved Thompson First, there was no way they could afford such an expensive villa!Therefore, Gerald felt extremely shocked and uncomfortable when he heard that his uncle had actually given this villa to Charlie. He immediately told Wendy over the phone, “Wendy, give me a minute. I will ask my uncle about this.”Wendy hung up the phone before she glared at Charlie as she gritted her teeth and asked, “Charlie, what did you do? How did you trick Uncle White into giving you this villa?”At this time, Charlie replied in a light manner, “Mr. White offered me this villa on his own accord.”“You are lying!” Wendy suddenly blurted out. “You’re not related to the White family

”Charlie, is this… did the White family really give this villa to you?” Jacob asked Charlie in surprise when he finally regained his senses.“Yes, dad,” Charlie replied as he smiled.“This… you…” Jacob stuttered. He felt as though he was still dreaming.Claire hurried over to her father before she said, “Dad, why don’t you sit down and rest for a while? Since Mr. White has already explained the situation to everyone, everyone should know clearly now that this villa rightfully belongs to Charlie.”Claire specifically emphasized the words ‘rightfully belongs’ because she wanted her relatives to hear her loud and clear.Hannah held her hand against her chest in disbelief before she muttered, “The White family must be really insane! If they wanted to give this villa to someone else, why didn’t they give it to me instead?”Hannah was not the only one in disbelief because the rest of them were also very shocked at this time. In fact, Harold was extremely jealous of Charlie.He could n

When Charlie saw that Claire was panicking, he smiled before assuring her. “My dear wife, don’t worry about the villa. Mr. White will never come and cause any trouble because of this villa.”Jacob continued shaking his head. “No. Last time when you helped the Quinton family with their Feng Shui problem, you already spent one hundred million dollars of their money just to bid on the clamshell. Now, the White family is actually giving you a villa just to thank you! These two families are both extremely famous and prestigious in Aurous Hill. I am afraid that they will regret their decision in the future, and sooner or later, they will come and demand that you give everything back to them!”Jacob continued speaking, “You should return the villa to the White family as soon as possible. Otherwise, I am afraid that all of us are doomed if they try to settle the score with us!”At this time, Charlie’s mother-in-law suddenly blurted out, “What do you mean?! Why should we return the villa to

Elaine felt very triumphant as she shook the jade bracelet on her hand. “I have already sent a text message to some of my friends. Many of them are already jealous of me because of this jade bracelet, and now, I even have a big and luxurious villa!”Charlie looked at the jade bracelet on his mother-in-law’s hand. In actual fact, that was the bracelet that Graham had given to him, and he had been planning on giving it to Claire in the first place. However, who would have expected that Elaine would take it for herself instead.***At the White family mansion.Gerald was standing in the hall as he reported what he had just found out to his father over the phone.After he was done speaking, Gerald hesitated for a moment before he raised his head and said, “Dad, is uncle confused? He did not even stay a single day in that villa, but he did not hesitate at all to give it to Charlie! You have to persuade him to take it back from Charlie!”Gerald’s father had a solemn expression on his f

As Lady Wilson was dreaming about moving into the villa at Thompson First, Christopher suddenly rubbed his hands and sighed before he said, “Mom, I am planning to send someone to invite Loreen’s family to come over as our guests. After that, I am hoping to propose to the Thomas family for Loreen and Harold to be married. What do you think about my suggestion?”“The Thomas family…” Lady Wilson sighed as she replied, “Previously, Harold left Loreen behind and ran away by himself! I believe that Loreen does not have a good impression of him.”At this time, Christopher said, “I think that something like that is actually harmless. Since both of our families are business partners, I believe that the Thomas family will be more focused on the future development prospects if our children were to get married. Even though the Wilson family cannot be compared to the Thomas family, we have the Emgrand Group to support us. Moreover, there are still a lot of things that we could do to enhance the f

When Jacob saw that everyone was waiting for his family, he quickly lowered his head as he greeted his mother and elder brother with a smile on his face.Christopher pretended not to hear him and simply ignored him without saying anything at all.Lady Wilson nodded lightly.Jacob quickly asked, “Mom, why did you ask us to come over here today? Is anything the matter?”“I want to ask you something. Do you own one of the villas in Thompson First?” Lady Wilson asked coldly.At this time, Jacob quickly replied, “Yes, mom. Mr. White gave the villa to Charlie because he gave him some advice regarding some Feng Shui matters.”“Feng Shui advice?” Harold snorted before he said, “If Charlie really got the villa because he simply gave someone some Feng Shui advice, everyone in the Wilson family should just quit their jobs and work as Feng Shui masters, then!”Everyone in the living room snorted upon hearing this.Jacob could only force a laugh when he heard his relatives ridiculing him.

Jacob was taken aback, and he quickly replied, “Mom, I am sorry, but the White family gave the villa to Charlie, not to me.”Lady Wilson started to lose her patience at this time, and she could not even be bothered to hide her intentions anymore. Upon hearing that, she said, “Charlie is the son-in-law of the Wilson family! Therefore, the villa that the White family gave to Charlie also belongs to the Wilson family! As the head of the Wilson family, don’t you think that I have the right to live in that villa?”Right then, Charlie could not help but sneer at the old lady’s words. He had not said anything before this because he had already expected nothing good would come out of this family gathering today.It turned out that the old lady was trying to take the villa away from him.When Jacob finally understood what his mother really wanted from him, he started sweating profusely and stammering as he looked at Charlie with a face filled with embarrassment.Christopher suddenly spoke

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

Jacob was naturally gleeful that he could get the late medieval bronze sculpture along with its base. Right after he wired the agreed upon ninety-eight grand to Mr. Cardensky, he was already imagining how Raymond would buy it from him for several hundred grand.On the other hand, once Mr. Cardensky received the transfer, he saw the name on the account: Jacob Wilson.He was left perplexed—wasn't that man's last name Montague? Who was this Jacob Wilson?Still, he didn't worry about it too much since most antique hustlers preferred to work with anonymity and therefore, using a different name was perfectly normal.He then carefully wrapped up the bronze sculpture before passing it Jacob, asking politely, "Would you happen to have any other requests, Mr. Montague? I have plenty of other items here if you'd permit me to give an introduction."Jacob shook his head, "Just this sculpture will do. I'm not fully confident in your work either since this is our first deal, so I'm just trying i

Jacob asked, "Then, what would this sculpture be worth if it was genuine?"Mr. Cardensky thought about it. "Well, there are standards when it comes to Renaissance relics, but with something this exquisite, it'd definitely be auctionable for one or two million—and that's the conservative estimate.""How much would you sell it to me for?" Jacob then asked."Thirty percent of the market price," Mr. Cardensky quickly replied. "As I've said, the conservative estimate for this one is around one to two million, so we will set the price with the median estimate value at 1.5 million. And thirty percent means 450 grand."Jacob shook his head right away. "No, no, no… that's too expensive. What if I end up unable to sell it, on top of that?"In his mind, while he could barely accept that pricing, he still needed Raymond to be able to afford it if he wanted to swindle Raymond for twice the money.Mr. Cardensky quickly chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Montague—now you're being too serious. In this business,

"Okay!"Mr. Cardensky smiled and pointed at a nearby farmyard. "There's our workshop—the good stuff is all in there. Allow me to take you there!"The farmyard seemed uninteresting at first glance, but Mr. Cardensky soon led them to the stables and brushed off the straws covering the floor, revealing a plank laid flat on the ground.Mr. Cardensky then lifted it, revealing a passage below—they had dug a cellar into the ground beneath, with the stables as an entry point.As Jacob followed Mr. Cardensky down the cellar, he exclaimed in awe, "Your operation is definitely big, digging such a huge cellar!"Mr. Cardensky smiled humbly. "Anyone working in the business would have sustained their losses before. In the end, we're all folk of humble origins, starting out with raiding tombs or excavating artifacts. Just digging a cellar is really nothing."As they conversed, they cleared the stairs and arrived at the main hall.It was certainly a hall as it was around a hundred square meters,

Zachary nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Montague? Very well!""Yes!" Jacob grinned smugly. "Longer last names are simply better—it just sounds so authoritative."With that agreed upon, both men alighted, where the master was waiting nearby.Seeing them get off, he hurried over to them, smiling, "Please, follow me."Zachary looked around and huffed, "Honestly, Mr. Cardensky, isn't this way too far from the highway? The road is narrow and terrible, and I have to park my car all the way out here. Just coming here is taxing."Mr. Cardensky smiled in turn. "My friend, that's exactly why we picked this place. Do you remember seeing a couple of cars parked by the road, occupying half of it?""We arranged for them to be there. Anyone coming by car would have to slow down that way, buying time for us to see who they truly are. If it's cops, our watchers would quietly text us while we clean the house and bail."Zachary exclaimed in realization, "You boys really run a tight ship!""For sure," Mr.

After working in Antique Street for years, Zachary's connections and influence were naturally special. And yet, though he was acquainted with some of the more impressive individuals, he was not that close with them either.For example, the forgery masters who worked specifically to deceive experts only accepted jobs from major clients, usually antique traders high in social status and wealth.In contrast, they wouldn't ever be interested in frivolous people like Zachary. Even if he could reach them, they might not look at him twice.If one would describe them as the cartel boss, then Zachary would be a low-level enforcer, managing night joints or goofing off.But now, Zachary had turned over a new leaf—he worked under Don Albert, so one of those masters was pleasantly surprised when he called one of them, inviting him to his own workshop for a visit and further discussion.As such, Zachary picked up Jacob and went over to the master's hideout where the latter worked on his count

Zachary was naturally shrewd enough to read Jacob's intention.In reality, he wasn't offering to pay just because he wanted the profit. He merely wanted to get in Jacob's good graces. After all, wouldn't Jacob be even more grateful that he wasn't just helping his revenge but also helping him make money?As such, he didn't hesitate to tell Jacob, "Well, chief—since you'll be paying, I will make sure that you will get every cent of profit that you deserve."Jacob was grinning ear-to-ear, but he said, "Oh, you don't have to! If we really are making a profit, there's no way I would let your good work go unrewarded!"Spreading his arms, he continued generously, "How about this? I will pay the full cost while you get twenty percent of the net profit!"Zachary laughed. "Now, that can wait, chief. We need to pay as soon as we decide on the item we want, and there's no time for buyer's regret. But if Raymond doesn't take the bait, all that money will go down the drain, and whether we can s
