As for those who were in the same generation as Charlie, they all would normally be greeted as Master and Miss.On the phone, Carmen spoke with a snobbish tone. She opened her mouth and asked, “Isaac, are you in Aurous now?” Isaac hurriedly answered respectfully, “Yes, Miss. I’m in Aurous now.” Carmen hummed, then continued, “Book a presidential suite at Shangri-la Hotel for me tomorrow. After that, you can arrange for transportation to pick me up from the airport. I will fly over there in the morning.” Whenever Carmen traveled, she would usually board a private airplane. So, the departure time was not fixed. If she was able to wake up early, then she would depart earlier. Likewise, if she woke up late, then she would depart later.As soon as Isaac finished hearing her words, he asked in surprise, “Miss, you’re coming over to Aurous?! Are there any other preparations that you’d like me to get ready for you?” Carmen opened her mouth and asked, “What has Charlie been doi

Upon hearing Charlie’s question, Isaac was puzzled too. “Master Wade, to be honest with you, I don’t really know much about your aunt. In fact, with my status, it’s difficult for me to have any direct contacts with the Wade family. Stephen has more contacts with them. Maybe you may want to give him a call?” Charlie shook his hand, then said calmly, “Forget about it, it’s pointless to call him. There’s always a solution to a problem. I’ll act accordingly when I see her.” Isaac then asked, “So, are you having a meal with your aunt tomorrow?”Charlie nodded his head, “I’m going. Let me know when she’s fixed the time. You don’t have to send me there, I’ll go there by myself.” “Noted!” Charlie thought of his aunt’s younger self. In his impression, his aunt was a rather mean woman. When he was five, his aunt married the master of an elite family from Eastcliff and she had given birth to a son. Since then, Charlie had no further updates about his aunt. Charlie asked Isaac, “Is

Charlie laughed and said, “I wanted to give you a surprise!”After he spoke, Claire ran up to him and leaped into his arms.For the past few days when Charlie was in Japan, Claire missed him day and night. Before this, she seldom had this kind of feeling. When Charlie went to Eastcliff, she also missed him but not as much as she did now. Therefore, when she saw Charlie come back, she couldn't hold back and hugged him immediately. Charlie never thought that his wife would hug him straight away in front of her parents. He felt both happy and shy too. So, he told Claire, “Darling, you should wait till we’re in our room to hug. After all, your parents are watching us.” Claire came to her senses and blushed. With shyness and fear, she said, “We just saw from the news that there was a massacre in Japan a few days ago. More than thirty people were reported dead. It’s so terrifying!” Charlie was surprised and asked, “Is this on national news?” ”Yes!” Claire

Seeing that Elaine was full of eagerness, Charlie placed the suitcase on the floor to open it. Elane, who was by the side, could not resist further. She squatted down and said flatteringly, “My good son-in-law, how could I trouble you with this. Come, let me help you!”Charlie smiled helplessly and did not object. Elaine opened the suitcase and saw a huge Boss plastic bag at the top. She could not help but ask, “Is this Boss for men?” Charlie nodded and said, “I picked a suit for Dad. Since he is the director at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he’ll look dignified in this suit whenever he has any events to attend!” Jacob, who was by the side, was very grateful and said, “Oh Charlie. You are a good son-in-law! I’ve always wanted a suit to wear to events but have been reluctant to buy one all these while. I never thought that you would buy me one. Thank you so much!” Elaine curled her lips and threw the plastic bag containing the suit at Jacob’s feet before sh

“Darling, I bought this for you. Open it and see if you like it!”Feeling shocked, Claire asked, “You bought this for me? Darling, it’s your hard-earned money. Normally, you don’t even spend on yourself. But once you’re outside, you always buy things for me…” Elaine, who was standing beside her, quickly said, “Silly girl. Charlie loves you, cares for you, and pampers you. He’s a good man! Look at your dad, this old stingy man—since when has he ever bought me something valuable?”Jacob answered angrily, “You’re in control of the household finances. I have no money, so how could I possibly buy you things?”Elaine quipped, “Nonsense! Despite other husbands having no money too, they would still try their best to give their wives things. What about you? Don’t tell me you’ve never secretly kept some money after so many years? Don’t use having no money as an excuse.” Jacob picked up the suit that Charlie gave him and said, “I won’t quarrel over such matters. I’m going to my room to t

At this time, Claire was already moved to tears.She was also overwhelmed with emotions when she looked back on all those years that she had been married to Charlie. Back then, Claire could not understand why her grandfather had insisted on her getting married to Charlie. Her whole family had also strongly opposed their marriage but her grandfather used his sovereignty to make her compromise and give in.However, since it was a forced marriage, Claire had misunderstood the concept of a marriage from the very beginning.After getting married to Charlie, the marriage that she understood was simply for her to obey and abide by her grandfather’s request and act dutifully as Charlie’s wife. They had both continued to live together like that. It did not matter whether they were suited for each other, or whether they liked each other.Therefore, they had both been living very respectfully towards one another for a very long time. In fact, even though they were legally married, they were

Charlie knew that his wife was a very shy woman. Furthermore, she did not have much experience in this aspect. So, how would she possibly be able to tolerate Elaine’s teasing then?So, Charlie hurriedly said, “Mom, Claire is a very shy person. You should stop teasing her and making fun of her.”Elaine smiled before she said, “Claire, did you see that? Charlie is always thinking of you and looking out for you!”After she spoke, Elaine stretched a little before she said, “I am not going to chat with both of you anymore. I have to go inside and take pictures of my bracelet now. You two should rest earlier too!”As she was speaking, Jacob suddenly walked out of the elevator dressed in his new Boss suit.As soon as he saw the three of them, he hurriedly made a few turns in front of the elevator with a smug look on his face. After that, he smiled as he said, “Look! I still have some foundation, right? This suit is simply tailor-made for me. I am already in my fifties but I did not put o

If it weren’t because Charlie had overheard the conversation that Isaac had with his aunt over the phone on the way home, Charlie would have really believed that this woman on the other end of the line was really being so enthusiastic from the bottom of her heart.So, Charlie also pretended to be very surprised as he smiled and said, “Aunt! Is it really you? Why did you suddenly think of calling me?”Carmen actually did not want to call Charlie at all.In fact, she had originally passed on the order to Isaac, asking him to directly inform Charlie to go to Shangri-La for dinner tomorrow.However, Lord Wade had specifically come to look for her a while ago to ask her to personally make a phone call to Charlie.That way, it would seem as though she was more sincere. After all, Carmen and Charlie had not seen each other for so many years. A phone call in advance to get in touch with one another was also tantamount to warming up to one another in advance then. Lord Wade felt that it wo

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
