Chapter 1940

Author: Lord Leaf
Elaine cried and said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. The MLM organization took revenge on me. They grabbed me and bludgeoned me up… I lost some hair, and I broke my legs...”

“What?!” Claire cried out in shock. “Did you make a police report?”

Elaine continued sobbing. “I already did. The police officer has already apprehended them. Please just come to visit me as soon as possible.”

Claire quickly asked, “Which hospital? I will head over there right now.”

Elaine choked, “I’m at the Aurous Hill Orthopedics Hospital, come quickly… ”

Claire tried to keep her composure. “Alright. Hang in there and wait for me, mom. I’ll be right there.”

Claire hung up and immediately sped off to the hospital. As she was driving, she called Charlie.

Charlie, meanwhile, had just reached home and was casually watching tv in the living room.

Jacob, his father-in-law, had just returned as well. He was preparing to brew a pot of tea so he and Charlie could both enjoy a drink.

    While Charlie and Jacob hurriedly made their way to the hospital, Claire had already arrived.When both the men arrived at the ward, Elaine was holding Claire’s hand, crying pitifully.Claire was constantly wiping her tears while feeling a tug in her heartstrings.Although Charlie had heard that his mother-in-law suffered a terrible fate, he was standing outside and did not go in to check on her; thus, he didn’t see to what extent her condition was.Plus, after Elaine was taken out by Albert’s men, she was directly sent to the hospital. Charlie did not manage to see her face either.Now, seeing Elaine in person with a bluish-black nose and a swollen face, with a patch of missing hair on her forehead, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. “Oh my… My mother-in-law is in quite a bad shape. It was indeed an unforeseen circumstance that put her in this state. Who would have thought that Carmen would really go after her?”Seeing Charlie’s arrival, Elaine, who was aggrieved, finally f

    She was already thinking of pretending to be pitiful in hopes that Charlie wouldn’t deduct her allowance.What was totally unexpected was for Charlie to be so generous, offering the considerable sum of a hundred thousand dollars!Elaine immediately felt refreshed and energetic the moment she heard Charlie’s words. She immediately thanked Charlie gratefully. “Wow, you are really the best son-in-law! It must be due to all the accumulated good fortune that I have you as my son-in-law…”Claire was speechless when she heard her mother’s words.She was so stupefied because she realized her mother said those words sincerely. Rather than just a polite gesture, it seemed as though she was really saying them from the bottom of her heart…Charlie, too, didn’t expect Elaine to be so moved with a mere hundred thousand dollars. He couldn’t help but laugh secretly while thinking to himself, ‘If I knew this superb mother-in-law of mine would be so easily controlled by such a small amount of money

    When lady Wilson heard what the man had to say, she felt as if she was struck by lightning. She just stood there on the spot, dumbfounded.Helplessly, she begged. “Young lads, can I trouble you to make a call to Mr. Webb? Please tell him that our family has exhausted all our finances, and we need him to show some mercy. Please give us a chance to survive. At least leave the Bentley to us…”She immediately added, “Even if you could just lend it to us for a few years, it would suffice!”The man stared blankly and replied coldly. “I am sorry. Mr. Webb has said that your family is too inferior to be shown in public. As such, he doesn’t want to have anything to do with you anymore. He will still allow you to live in the villa, which is his greatest kindness to you. If all of you are still unappreciative, then please don’t blame Mr. Webb for taking back the villa from you too.”Lady Wilson’s heart throbbed painfully for a moment, but she dared not say anything wrong towards them.Wendy,

    Feeling significantly wronged, she cried, “Mother, I know that you’re still upset about my pregnancy issue in Blackpine, but I was really trying to survive; otherwise, I would have died!”“And regarding the tens of millions of dollars, it was never my intention to lose it!”“I’ll admit that I wanted to cheat Elaine of her money and get her villa to better improve our family’s living conditions. All the hard work and sacrifices I’ve made were all for this family alone.”The moment Hannah brought out the pregnancy issue, Lady Wilson felt slapped across the face twice. She immediately yelled in a fury. “You shameless b*tch! How dare you mention the pregnancy! You’re so shameless! Depraved of moral values! Extremely shameless! If Donald wasn’t protecting you, I would have already driven you out of our home!”She was so furious that she started hyperventilating. With gritted teeth, she growled, “Don’t forget that when you crawled out of Blackpine, not only were you impregnated, you got

    Presently—at A06, Thompson First Villa.Jennifer, Yara, and Yulia just had their stomachs filled.They had been waiting a long time, but Lady Wilson’s family had yet to return, and they were starving. Coincidentally, some ingredients were prepared by Hannah in the kitchen but were yet to be cooked. They decided to use up the ingredients and cooked a feast.Before Donald Webb divested, Wilson family’s standards of living were quite good. After Donald Webb had previously invested in Wilson group, which helped restore the posh lifestyle to Wilson group, Lady Wilson was able to resume her previous lifestyle, living like an empress. Their living standards really did improve tremendously during that time.Moreover, Hannah deliberately prepared costly ingredients today to celebrate their success after the father and son duo finished off Elaine.Little did Wilson family know that they would not get the chance to consume any of these ingredients, and it all ended up being gobbled down by J

    Wendy growled indignantly, “Hey, you doctors. Aren’t you supposed to save lives and help the injured?”The driver looked at her and said seriously, “Miss, just to be clear, we are not doctors. Moreover, this is not an emergency ambulance from the public hospital, but a privately operated ambulance. Just like cabs, you need to pay the fare to use our service. Pay us and we’ll take you to the hospital. Do you understand?”Wendy gaped in disbelief.The man said disdainfully, “What’s with you people anyway? Living in such a nice villa, yet you can’t even afford four hundred bucks!”With that, the two men directly got into the car, started it, and drove off.Wendy stomped her feet in anger. Lady Wilson sighed in dismal and said to Wendy and Hannah, “I’m old and don’t have any strength now. You two carry Christopher into the house first, and then come out to carry Harold in.”Knowing that there was no other way, Wendy and Hannah could only grit their teeth as they used all their streng

    Lady Wilson was a typical person who would take advantage and get rid of someone when he or she had ceased to be useful. Back then, she needed Jennifer to back her up in the detention center. So, at that time, she was extremely courteous to her and even treated her like her own daughter. However, in reality, she loathed vulgar shrews like Jennifer.Hence, she had completely forgotten about Jennifer since the day she was released from the detention center.To her, Jennifer was just a necessary tool on a special occasion. As soon as the crucial moment had passed, she would not want to be associated with her anymore. However, never in her wildest dream did she imagine that Jennifer would somehow appear in her house!Jennifer did not expect that Lady Wilson denied all the deeds that she had done.From her point of view, it was Lady Wilson who had bailed them out, arranged for a driver to bring them to Thompson First, and even registered their fingerprints into the house’s securit

    Lady Wilson asked maliciously, “Did I ever ask for your help? When did I say that I needed you to help me teach my daughter-in-law a lesson? It was entirely because you couldn't stand the sight of Elaine, so you beat her up!”Jennifer glared at her in disbelief and was utterly disappointed. “Lady Wilson, your attitude just turns on a dime! Back then, we defended you and protected you with all our might, but this is what we get in the end!”Lady Wilson said with a blank look on her face, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but this is also a lesson for you: to tell you to know your own place and stop thinking about making friends with someone out of your reach!”Gritting her teeth indignantly, Jennifer said, “Oh! Old coot, is that so? Fine! I’ll just stay here! Let’s see what you can do about it!”Yulia and Yara said in unison, “That’s right! We won’t leave!”Lady Wilson did not expect them to be perverse, so she growled coldly, “Stop your prattles and ask for the impossible. Why don’t y

    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

    Zachary chuckled and continued, "Well, I went to Antique Street and asked around. Turns out our mutual friend only brought a few hundred thousand grand with him. If he messes up and loses all his money, won't it be over for him?""He won't just be broke either—he'd be humiliated and forced to fuck off from Antique Street. You'd get even then!"Jacob was at once excited.Just yesterday, Claire and Charlie were warning him that assault meant doing time.As the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and the next presidential-hopeful, he would lose his place if he was charged with assault or being an accessory to a case.However, Zachary's plan was much better. Jacob wouldn't have to take responsibility, and the damage on Raymond would be even worse!In comparison, slapping Raymond meant nothing. Watching him go broke and get humiliated would really ease his heart!With that in mind, he promptly pressed Zachary, "Are you sure that prick will mess up?""I can't a

    Jacob Wilson was in his office at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, planning his itinerary in Dubai.Still, he was immediately thrilled when Zachary told him that there was progress, and he quickly said, "Come see me at the Calligraphy and Painting Association. We'll talk in my office!""Alright!" Zachary agreed to it happily. "Just wait, Mr. Wilson. I'll be right there!"Jacob then quickly told him, "By the way, remember to address me as the vice president when you're here. Got it?"Zachary was naturally sharp enough to understand why, especially around other members of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.Smiling, he said, "Don't worry, chief. You can always be at ease when I'm on the job!"Once he hung up, he drove to the Calligraphy and Painting Association at top speed.There were just a dozen people around the dozens of work cubicles although Zachary was curious about the personal effects or office tools in the cubicles.After asking around, a staff member le

    Then, Mick continued, "I won't lie—Moore Group's bean counters have been eager to get rid of Vintage Deluxe for a while now. It's only Miss Moore's insistence that keeps them at bay, even occasionally coming to check on how business is going. That means she holds sentiment for this place, but if she knows that Raymond is back and doing well, she might hire him again!"Zachary could laugh right then. After all, Mick was terrible at gathering information—he could worry about anyone taking his palace, but not Raymond. The man was fired because he had insulted Master Wade's father in-law, and Miss Moore was endlessly respectful—even obedient to Master Wade. There was no chance that she would hire Raymond back after what he had done, and Mick was just being paranoid.However, Zachary did not tell Mick that.As Mick was begging him to intervene and thus owing him big time, he would also be helping Jacob Wilson get even.Two birds with one stone, so why not?With that in mind, Zachar

    Zachary then said, "By the way, I have some friends who have a lot of stock. How much capital do you have, Mr. Cole? I'll check if they have stuff that suits you, and you can partner with them."When Zachary asked how much capital, he was basically asking Raymond how much he would invest in his own business and how much he could spend on taking new stock as he was buying.As such, Raymond replied modestly, "I've been chasing my tail for a while, so I didn't earn more than a few hundred thousand. I definitely would have no issue taking items with rebates, but I'm afraid I can't afford premiums.""Alright!" Zachary nodded, having discerned the scale of Zachary's capital."I'll check on what's available and see if we can get a few personal deals."Raymond nodded. "Thank you, Zachary!"Zachary smiled, shaking his head. "Mr. Crane, please buy another fruit basket for Mr. Cole—I'll pay you later."Mick quickly said, "Oh, you don't have to, Mr. Evans! It's my pleasure, no worries!"Zach
