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 next day, Claire woke up early before going to the company to work.After eating the breakfast prepared by Elaine, Charlie spent the whole day thinking about Carmen.Ever since Stephen found him, the Wade family had never shown up or appeared directly in his life.As for Charlie, he really enjoyed and liked this situation where he did not have to deal with anyone from the Wade family at all.However, if Carmen was going to break the silence between him and the Wade family this time, then this could only mean that the Wade family had already begun their plan to try and win him over. No matter what it was and no matter what their intentions were, they did not want Charlie to continue remaining in Aurous Hill.Even if he were to reject and turn down his aunt’s request after meeting her today, the Wade family would not give up just like that.It seemed as though the Wade family would become a long-term trouble for him in future.***At 5.30 pm, Charlie told his mother-in-law, E

Charlie stepped into the dining area of Shangri-La.The huge dining area at Shangri-La was indeed very empty today.Most of the waiters had also been evacuated. According to Isaac, he was afraid that Carmen would get upset and frustrated if he left too many waiters working at the dining area.Charlie walked through the outer dining area before he reached the Sky Garden, which was in the center of the dining area. At this time, all eighty-eight banquet tables in the Sky Garden’s banquet hall had already been completely removed and there was only one exquisite Western-style dining table left in the center of the hall.Charlie did not even need to think about it to know that his aunt must have been the person who had instructed them to remove all eighty-eight banquet tables and chairs.So, he could not help but feel a little dissatisfied and disgusted.Although Charlie had not met his aunt yet, his aunt’s excessive and extravagant style of doing things really made him feel very disg

Isaac was following closely beside Carmen with a very respectful attitude.When Charlie was still a few metres away from her, Carmen smiled and said, “Oh, Charlie! I have not seen you for so many years. You have grown up into such a fine young boy now!”Charlie looked at Carmen and he could recall some remnants of the memories that he had from his childhood by looking at her face.So, Charlie laughed slightly before he said, “I’m going to be twenty-seven years old soon. I’m no longer a young boy!”Carmen had a very doting and affectionate look on her face as she smiled and said, “Oh! You really look so much like your father! You are really a chip off the old block!”Charlie nodded before he smiled and said, “Aunt, it seems as though you’ve not changed much from how you were in the past.”Carmen laughed before she said, “More than ten to twenty years have already passed by in the blink of an eye. I’m about to turn fifty soon, so how can I possibly still look the same as I was befo

“Go home to take a look?”Charlie could not help but laughed when he heard Carmen’s words.When Carmen saw the fake laughter on his face, she said, “Charlie, you left home when you were so young, so it’s about time that you come home now. You aren’t young anymore. You’ve already been away from home for so many years, so it’s about time for you to come home and take a look.”Charlie nodded in agreement as he said, “You’re right. Since I’ve already left home for such a long time, I should really make some time to go back and have a look then.”As he spoke, he smiled before he said, “Well, if that is the case, then I’ll arrange a time at a later date. I will go back and visit home if I have time.”Charlie seemed to have already agreed to Carmen’s proposal, but in fact, he was simply trying to delay time.If he were to say that he was going to arrange a time to pay a visit after a period of time, then that was basically tantamount to the far and distant future. Anyway, he simply want

As she spoke, Carmen stretched out one finger before she said arrogantly, “First of all, regarding Emgrand Group, when the time comes, you can continue to ask Doris to continue helping you look after the company. We’ve already investigated and looked into Doris’s background and she is a pretty capable person. During this period of time, Emgrand Group has developed and grown well in her hands. So, you can feel rest assured to hand the group over to her.”After that, Carmen lifted another finger before she said, “Secondly, you will have to deal with your current wife, Claire, and her family. We have also investigated and looked into the current situation and background of the Wilson family. To be honest, this kind of family is worth nothing at all to the Wade family. The Wilson family is not worthy of anything at all. So, how can they possibly be the Wade family’s in-laws?”Carmen had a disgusted look on her face at this time as she said, “So, I would advise you to divorce Claire as so

Carmen never expected that Charlie would dare to talk to her like that!Moreover, when she heard him say that he had the right to inherit a quarter of the Wade family’s assets, she was enraged in an instant!Thus, she shouted sternly, “B*stard! You think too highly of yourself! Inheriting a quarter of the Wade family’s assets?! Who do you think you are?!”Charlie said in a cold voice, “I am Charlie Wade, and my father is Curtis Wade!”Carmen rebuked, “Your father has been dead for so many years, besides, do you think you have what it takes to inherit the Wade family assets? Dream on! You don’t deserve a penny of it!”Charlie stared at Carmen and laughed coldly. “For how my father fought for the Wade family back then, he should even be the patriarch of the family! You, on the other hand, have absolutely no say in this. According to the rules of the big families, a married daughter no longer has business with her maiden family. Since you have already married, you are no longer a mem

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma

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
