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

As she thought about this, Carmen stuffed the one billion dollars cheque back into her wallet.She felt as though she would have been taken advantage of if she spent one billion dollars just to bribe a cheap woman like Elaine. She felt that one hundred million dollars would already be more than enough.Therefore, she took out her checkbook and wrote a cheque for one hundred million dollars instead.She planned to use the cheque for one hundred million dollars to entice Elaine directly so that Elaine would force her daughter to divorce Charlie as soon as she got home. This way, she would have already accomplished half of the mission that she had to get done in Aurous Hill this time.After writing the cheque for one hundred million dollars, Carmen took out a Hermes silk scarf from her bag and placed it on the sofa before sitting down.At this time, Elaine was still happily soaking in the bathtub.In truth, Elaine was already done washing up a long time ago. The reason why she refus

Carmen frowned as she spoke to the employee in a very arrogant manner, “Alright, then. You can just leave first. I will talk to her now.”The employee immediately left the room as though she had just received amnesty, and she hurriedly closed the door behind her.Elaine stared at Carmen vigilantly before she asked coldly, “Hey! Who are you?”Carmen replied indifferently, “You do not deserve to know who I am.”Elaine spat before she said, “My ass! Where did this d*mn old lady come from?! Why are you showing off and being so pretentious in front of me? Do you really think that you are that great just because you are dressed so colorfully while carrying a fake Hermes bag?!”Carmen could not help but yell angrily, “What did you say?! I am wearing a catwalk overcoat that has been customized by Chanel’s top designer just for me! My Hermes bag is also the top and most expensive limited-edition bag! The clothes that I am wearing right now is already worth at least fifty million dollars!”

Elaine was dumbfounded, and she looked at Carmen before she blurted out in disbelief, “What did you just say? This cheque is worth one hundred million dollars?!”When Carmen saw the shocked expression on Elaine’s face, she said sarcastically, “Just look at the expression on your face. You look like someone who has not seen much of this world before. You have never seen a cash cheque from Citibank before, right? Someone like you will never be able to have the opportunity to see such a large cash cheque in your life!”The expression on Elaine’s face became very dark and gloomy in an instant.Carmen thought that she had completely subdued Elaine, and she smiled in satisfaction.She waved the cheque in her hand as she laughed and said arrogantly, “Do you want this cheque? If you want it, you’d better listen to me and persuade your daughter to divorce Charlie!”Elaine suddenly had a very angry and annoyed expression on her face.Carmen could not figure out why this woman’s expression

“F*ck you!” Elaine rushed toward Carmen in rage before she sat down directly on Carmen’s stomach. Elaine started slapping Carmen’s face, one hand after the other, in quick succession as she cursed, “Do you really take me for a fool? I have already fallen for this trick once! You still dare to come and cheat me now?!”At this time, Elaine had thought of the time when Jacob had been hospitalized. She wanted to get her hands on the cheque that her daughter had received as a refund for the rental of the office building. After Charlie had handed the cheque over to her, she had quickly taken the cheque with her to pay for the hospitalization fees.Unexpectedly, the denomination of that cheque had turned out to be one hundred million dollars!At that time, the cashier at the hospital had ridiculed her and even threatened to call the police to get her arrested.In the end, Elaine had gone back to Charlie in a rage, planning to settle the score with him. Ultimately, she had found out that C

The boss of the beauty salon was shocked when he heard that the two women were fighting.“Aren’t they having a chat as friends? Why are they fighting?!”The employee hurriedly said, “I don’t know either, but it seems as though it is a huge fight between both of them. If you do not go over there to check it out now, I am afraid that someone might lose their life!”The boss could not help but feel a little nervous.He had not even run away yet. If something were to go wrong at this time, it would certainly be very troublesome if the police officers were involved in this matter.So, he hurriedly rushed over to the scene to check out the situation. Before he had even arrived at the scene, he could already hear the intense fight that was going on inside.Elaine was yelling over the other side of the door, “You b*tch! I might not be able to fight back or deal with that fat ass, Jennifer, but do you really think that I will not be able to deal with you?!”Carmen was obviously at a disa

He thought to himself, ‘Does this woman think I am stupid? She wants me to hand Elaine over to her?! If I do that, how is my family going to explain things to Mr. Webb, then? Besides, I don’t care how she ended up appearing here today, but since she was caught together with Elaine, I will have to take her away as well so that I can avoid encountering any other problems that might arise because I am kidnapping Elaine.’Therefore, Harold simply ignored Carmen and told the few young men, “Tie up both of these two old women and take them away!”Carmen yelled angrily when she heard this, “You want to tie me up? Do you know who I am?!”Harold replied in disgust, “I cannot be bothered to find out about your identity at all. You can tell Elaine who you are when the both of you are baking bricks together at the brick factory!”After he was done speaking, Harold told the few men, “I want you to cover up both of their mouths!”Carmen yelled hysterically, “You dare to touch me? I am Carmen… m

The sound of Carmen’s cell phone ringtone gave Harold a scare.Harold quickly reached his hand into Carmen’s bag before he took out an Apple iPhone.When he saw that someone was calling her, he hurriedly turned off the cell phone without saying anything. After that, he threw the cell phone back into Carmen’s bag.Carmen could only whimper, but there was nothing else that she could do. She was already filled with extreme regrets at this time.She thought to herself, ‘Why do I have such bad luck?! Why was I wasting so much time talking nonsense with Elaine? If it was not because of Elaine, I would not have been kidnapped by this group of men!’However, it was already useless and pointless for her to be filled with regrets. Although she was Lord Wade’s eldest daughter, she was completely helpless and hopeless at this time.Meanwhile, at the entrance of Lizzie’s Beauty Salon, Carmen’s bodyguard had realized that Carmen refused to answer his call.He did not put much thought into the

"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
