Early the next morning, Claire and Elaine had left the house early to work on their own affairs.Claire’s studio was closed based on the nation’s legislated holidays. The studio was closed from New Year’s Eve till the sixth day of the Oskian New Year, a total of seven rest days.As for Jacob, his calligraphy and painting association was an interest group. Therefore, the association did not follow any of the national legislation holidays, and the visitation was purely based on everyone’s mood. Most of the days, Jacob and Elaine would argue with one another at home. As such, he would rather spend his first day of the Oskian New Year at the calligraphy and painting association.Elaine, on the other hand, did not have much of a social circle to entertain. Therefore, she alone would normally prepare food ingredients for the reunion dinner at home. As for Charlie, after he woke up early in the morning, he would check the operation report of the Apothecary Pharmaceutical that had been

Charlie nodded his head and said, “Okay, Mum. Go ahead and do your things first.”Elaine replied with a smile, “Good! Mum will go out now. If there’s anything you need, just give me a call!”“Okay.” Charlie did not think much of it. After all, Elaine was an adult, and it was normal to go out. ***At that moment, Christopher was in his room balcony, carefully gazing at the door of Charlie’s house. Seeing Elaine hurriedly walking out the door, a wicked smile spread across his face.Then, he quickly went downstairs and said, “Harold, Elaine is out! Are your friends ready?”Harold laughed and answered, “Dad, don’t worry. I’m ready. Elaine will not return home this time!”Christopher said, “Come here. Let’s review the overall plan and see whether I have left out any details!”Wendy and Lady Wilson also came over, their faces full of anticipation.Harold said proudly, “First of all, the facial beauty card was delivered to Elaine by a city courier just now. That beauty

Donald’s life had been miserable recently.His eldest son, Sean, was still at home recovering from his injuries, while his second son, Kian’s condition had not improved. He had basically given up on treatment. Besides all these, Donald’s wife, Alice, had also requested for a divorce recently. The main reason for the divorce was because of the death of Nelson and Kelly. Alice felt that Donald had not protected her brother well and did not find out who had killed her brother. In Alice’s eyes, what was even more unforgivable was the fact that Donald not only did not take revenge for her brother but instead, stayed at home and scolded her deceased brother badly. Donald, of course, despised Nelson. To him, it was that idiot who had utterly destroyed the reputation of the Webb family, which subsequently caused the market value of the Webb family to be affected awfully. Initially, the Webb family was the leading family in the South region. Now, they could not even

Donald thought for a moment before he said, “There are really not that many coal mines in the South Region, so I really do not know anyone who runs a black coal mine.”As he spoke, he seemed to have recalled something, and he laughed as he said, “However, I do have a childhood friend who runs a brick factory at home. The work at the brick factory is not as easy compared to the coal mine. You can send Charlie’s mother-in-law there to work as a coolie!”Christopher immediately smiled as he said, “Oh, Mr. Webb! That is simply perfect! A b*tch like her should just be thrown into the brick factory to suffer!”After he was done speaking, Christopher hurriedly asked again, “Mr. Webb, do you think that it will be convenient for you to tell me the address of your friend’s brick factory? After getting someone to deal with Elaine, I will ask them to send her there directly!”“You don’t have to be so anxious!” Donald sneered as he said, “I hold a deep grudge against Charlie. I have just arrive

“How could that be possible?” Carmen blurted, “Dad, it must be because you have not seen Charlie for too many years, and this is the reason why you are still thinking so highly of him now. Let me tell you the truth, Dad. Charlie is nothing more than a little gangster from an obscure and poor place now! Both Sophie and Quinn are talented and wealthy young ladies. How could they possibly be interested in him?!”Jeremiah replied coldly, “I met Yule at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday. I asked him if he still remembers that there is a marriage contract between Charlie and his daughter, Quinn. At that time, Yule told me on the spot that as long as I can find Charlie, he would certainly marry his daughter to Charlie without any hesitation at all!”“Also, Yule even said that Charlie’s current status or identity would not matter to him at all. Even if Charlie is a beggar out on the streets, he would still be the future son-in-law of the Golding family. Their family had already come to a con

Elaine smiled as she said, “Oh! That is truly a coincidence, then. It seems as though God really wants to make it up to me and let me enjoy myself today!”After that, she waved her hand at the clerk as she said, “Okay, you can go out first. I will take the bath by myself. You can ask the beautician to get ready and wait for me.”“Okay!”After the employee came out, she hurriedly reported everything to her boss.When the boss heard that Elaine was already there, he hurriedly called Harold and said, “Harold, she is already here and taking a bath. When are you guys coming over?”Harold replied excitedly, “That is simply perfect! Ben, you have to make sure that you keep her there. Do not slip up and let her discover that something is amiss! I will get ready to go over there right now!”The boss of the beauty salon smiled as he said, “Harold, both of us are just like brothers. Since I have already made a promise to you, I will definitely get things done perfectly!”“Great!” Harold sm

The employee did not know how to reply to Carmen’s sudden question.After all, her boss had already made it very clear that they were not going to entertain any other guests in the morning today. Therefore, she knew that no matter what it was, she should not let anyone else enter the shop today.So, she hurriedly said, “I am sorry, madam, but we are really not serving any other customers in the morning today. The reason why Miss Elaine can receive her spa treatment is because she had already made an appointment in advance. I am truly sorry.”Carmen was so angry that she was about to explode out of rage.The fact that she would actually step into such a shabby and rundown beauty salon was already a miracle. However, she never would have expected that the employee would actually try to stop her from entering the beauty salon!At this time, Carmen said angrily, “You refuse to let me enter, right? Do you believe that this beauty salon will not be able to continue operating in the futu

Carmen replied, “I am here to look for Elaine, who came to do a treatment at your beauty salon earlier. I have something to discuss with her in private.”As soon as the boss heard that she was not here to spend money, the expression on his face darkened immediately, and he said in annoyance, “If you are not here to experience our services, please leave immediately. If you are looking for someone to discuss some matters with her in private, you should look for the right place to do so. I do not provide such services here.”Carmen glanced at her bodyguard, and her bodyguard immediately took out fifty thousand dollars from his small suitcase and placed it on the counter.When the salon boss saw the money, he suddenly had a very flattering and humble attitude as he smiled and said, “Madam, what kind of service would you like me to provide you with?”Carmen replied coldly, “Bring me to see Elaine. I want to chat with Elaine in private. It will not take too long, and I will take about th

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

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
