Chapter 2003

Author: Lord Leaf
Lady Wilson had never thought that she would be slapped by a stranger after one whole day of hard work and hardship.

After the lady slapped her, she continued to scold her, “D*mn old lady! How dare you pretend to be a resident at Thompson First when you’re now eating disgusting leftovers! Crazy woman!”

She then yelled at a security guard who was nearby, “You come over here right now! Aren’t you blinded? I’ve spent twenty million for a house here and this is the attitude you show us? Who’ll protect the interests and feelings of the landlords if this messy old woman, who is worse than pigs and dogs, is allowed to get in here?”

The security guard felt nervous too.

Lady Wilson looked haggard and tired, unlike the typical wealthy old lady.

Besides, the leftovers such as steamed buns, rice, and messy remnants of dishes inside the four big plastic bags were totally inconsistent with the characteristics of the residents of Thompson First.

He then said hurriedly to

    Therefore, she knew very well in her heart that anyone who could live in a series A villa would be much more powerful than her.   As she recalled the slap given to the old lady just now, she was so terrified.   She thought anxiously in her heart, I’m finished! This is disastrous! Who would’ve thought that this old lady isn’t that simple! I slapped her just now. If she wants to find fault with me, won’t I be in deep trouble?!   The security guard was also trembling with fear.  What happened? Is this old lady really a resident of Thompson First villa? Why didn’t I have any impression of her?  Moreover, those who live in the villa are filthy rich. If this old lady is so rich, with such capability and background, why would she take bags of leftover food back to Thompson First?   Is it the trend now for rich people to eat swill hogwash?  Lady Wilson furiously asked the woman, “Open your bloody eyes and see carefully! Do I look like a resident of A04 to you now?!”

    Upon seeing Jacob run away, Lady Wilson was enraged.She thought to herself furiously, How could I have a son like him, who didn’t even bother when his own mother was slapped?! Is he heartless? What a beast!   Little did she know the woman right in front of her was already nearly scared to death!She did not know that Jacob and Lady Wilson’s relationship had soured. She only knew that they were both mother and son.   She thought with horror to herself, Despite being from the same family, they’re staying separately in two villas, one in A04 and another in A05. I wonder how wealthy this family is? How much support do they have behind them?   Thinking of this, she felt extremely regretful for finding fault with the old lady.   She immediately lowered her head and offered her apologies. “I’m very sorry, old lady. I’ve never thought you’re a tenant of the villa residential area. I ask for your forgiveness for my recklessness just now…”  Lady Wilson scolded angrily, “Do you

    She thought to herself, This slap earned me one hundred dollars, which is more cost-effective than working for a whole day!So, she suppressed her inner excitement and replied, “Okay, let’s just forget about this matter. Next time, remember not to judge a book by its cover and look down on others!”  The opposite party immediately nodded with respect and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll remember…”***   While Lady Wilson held the two hundred Oskian dollar notes and carried the four big bags into the house, the smell of food had permeated the house.   Jennifer and two others were the ones who had cooked.   They were cleaners at the supermarket today and since the pay was one hundred Oskian dollars per day, it would total up to three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars for three people.   Nowadays, with three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars, the three of them could go to a restaurant to have a normal meal.  But they carefully used three hundred and sixty Oskian dollars to cook

    Hannah had never thought that Lady Wilson would fall out with her.   Seeing her carrying many plastic bags filled with food, she said aggrievedly, “Mother, since you’ve brought back so much good food, let me take a few bites. After all, I’ve starved for a long time…”   Lady Wilson snorted, “Go get a job to feed yourself. How shameless of you to ask an elderly like me to feed you!”  Hannah nervously blurted out, “That’s all Jacob’s fault! Otherwise, I would’ve earned more than you by working as a cashier!”   Lady Wilson pouted and said, “All these are none of my business. The money you earn belongs to yourself while the money I earn is mine. We shan’t take advantage of each other. As such, don’t you ever think of taking in my meals. Go work outside and earn your own meal!”  Hannah glared at her furiously. Then, she blurted out, “Old lady, are you throwing stones at me who has fallen into a well? If you insist, I’ll leave this house!”   Lady Wilson laughed and clapped h

    Christopher’s eyes were flushed red as he said, “Mom, I’ll go out and work when I get better. Even if I have to go to the construction site and carry cement, I will make sure that I do everything possible to make money to make up for this family’s living expenses. I won’t allow you to go out and suffer and work so hard when you are already so old!”Harold also said vaguely, “Grandma, I’ll also go then!”Lady Wilson nodded before she said, “Both of you should focus on recuperating and recovering. After both of you get well, I’ll have to depend on you two to look after me and give me a proper burial after my death then!”As the Wilson family of four finally enjoyed a full meal, Hannah cried in her own room to the point that her face was covered in tears.As she was suffering from hunger and cold, Hannah did not only feel despair because of the Wilson family, but she had also made a decision in her heart to prepare to leave this place.She did not intend to stay in this house any lon

    Since Claire and Loreen had already known each other for so many years, Claire also had some understanding of her family situation. When she heard that Loreen was planning to bring her cousin here with her, she asked curiously, “Loreen, is Dylan the cousin that you’re referring to?”Loreen laughed slightly before she said, “Yes, that’s him.”“Ahhh?” Claire suddenly recalled the image of that good-for-nothing young man from a wealthy family and she asked in surprise, “What is your cousin doing in Aurous Hill?”Loreen replied, “After staying in Eastcliff for such a long time, he is always causing trouble there. So, he came to Aurous Hill to discipline himself for a while.”Claire asked in surprise, “Discipline himself? How is he going to discipline himself?”Loreen smiled before he said, “He’s going to practice a scanty livelihood. He is currently renting a place to live in Cliffcouls now and the living conditions aren’t that easy and it is really tough.”Claire could not help but

    After Loreen, who was sitting in the co-driver’s seat, hung up the phone with Claire, Dylan scowled miserably as he asked, “Loreen, can’t you go to Charlie’s house on your own? Why do you have to bring me along with you? I really don’t want to see his face for a minute at all.”When Loreen saw Dylan’s face which was filled with grievances, she could not help but ridiculed him as she said, “Brother, aren’t you being a little too timid and cowardly? I’m bringing you to Charlie’s house to send our New Year’s greetings. I’m not sending you there to fight with Charlie, so what are you afraid of?”Dylan sighed as he said, “Sigh. Loreen, you might not know this, but I’ve only met Charlie Wade twice in total and nothing good happens whenever I see him! The first time I met him, I had to swallow a necklace and undergo a surgery because of it. The second time I met him, he asked me to ride a bicycle all the way from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill. If he isn’t happy when I see him again this time, th

    Dylan had asked the question so suddenly that Loreen had no time to cover up at all. She was flustered and she hurriedly replied out of embarrassment as she said, “You…you…don’t talk nonsense. I…I don’t like Charlie!”“I don’t believe you!” Dylan curled his lips as he said, “I’ve been pursuing so many different girls for so many years so I understand women very well. Based on your current reaction, I can be certain that you have a crush on Charlie!”Loreen pretended to feel very impatient and said, “Oh! You can think whatever you want to. I am too lazy to be bothered with you.”Dylan reminded her, “Loreen, Charlie is a married man so you’d better stay away from him. Otherwise, if word gets out to the public that the eldest young lady of the Thomas family is in love with a married man, then the Thomas family will certainly lose face because of you!”When Loreen heard this, she suddenly became very angry and she blurted out, “You actually have the face to talk about me?

    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

    With the last stroke, Raymond got on a ladder to reach the old signboard, pasting the banner over the old shop sign.Then, he added a notice by the entrance: We buy all antiques and measure all treasures.As soon as the makeshift sign and notice were up, Mick was the first to arrive with a fruit basket to celebrate the occasion.The instant they met, he greeted Raymond warmly, "Ah, Mr. Cole! You sure are efficient—you just came back yesterday evening, and you're already setting up shop today at noon!"Raymond smiled, "Doing a small business by myself is naturally much quicker."Mick shook his head disapprovingly as he put the fruit basket by the door, "Now, now. Don't be a stranger, Mr. Cole—almost everyone in Antique Street is a friend, but you didn't tell the gang when you opened the shop! It'd hype things up when everyone comes bringing you gifts!"Raymond quickly shook his head. "Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't know if this humble trade will last. It's better to keep m

    To not lose three months' worth of rent on top of that, Donald called over the owner at top speed while getting some of the friends in the antique trade to appraise what merchandise he had left.Taking losses had always been the hardest pill to swallow, but once the decision was made, there really was nothing that couldn't be given up.The owner was plenty pleased as well since that meant someone was picking up on his rental. He promptly had Donald sign the agreement transferring the last three months for the rental to Raymond while signing a new rental contract with Raymond.Raymond didn't have to pay up immediately either—he just had to start paying rent to the owner once Donald's three-month rent was up.Once the agreement was signed, every stall owner as well as owners of businesses resembling the Pearl House swarmed the premises.After all, they loved to take stock from people in the same line of business. Once a business owner decided to close shop, they wouldn't be bothered

    If Donald had to maintain his business under such circumstances, the next three months would be even worse.Hence, instead of doing that, he really wanted to stop this business altogether.As for what remaining merchandise, he'd just get some fellow in the same business to take them off his hands at a lower cost while he gained his freedom sooner.Hence, he stopped Raymond, "Wait, my friend! Let's talk about this… if the hundred fifty grand transfer fee is too much for you, why don't I cut it down even more—say, a hundred grand instead?"Raymond turned and told him solemnly, "I'm not paying a transfer fee at all."Frustrated, Donald blurted, "At least give me ten grand for my troubles! My shop is good—you'd definitely make bank once you take it off my hands!"Raymond thought about it and eventually said, "How about this—if you can clear up the place by the end of the day, I will pay you five grand on top of the forty five grand that is your remaining rent, but not one cent more."

    The reasoning was simple too—with businesses failing, most shops were losing money.With months left on Donald's rental contract, all he could do now was keep his business afloat while attempting to transfer the rental to someone else. At the same time, he must be prepared for the situation where no one would rent it from him, and he must honor his contract to the very last second.With the losses he had sustained up until the contract expires, he definitely wouldn't extend it. That meant packing up to leave while returning everything to the owner to claim the deposit that the owner was holding.Even now that he was asking for a transfer fee, his mindset was to get whatever he could get. By the last month, Donald would naturally give up on such pipe dreams regardless.Still, when Raymond saw the lack of merchandise in the shop, he could tell Donald's business was at its final stretch. What little he sold would serve to recuperate his losses, and there was no chance in hell he would

    Elaine thought that it would be fine even if Jacob couldn't put aside his pride so soon.Right now, she had become more considerate of Jacob and could understand that men valued their pride. As such, she could just wait until they went traveling together, and they'd definitely be staying in the same room. With that, it would be more natural for them to share a room together again when they return.-Early the next day, Raymond arrived at Antique Street, coming over from an express hotel nearby.Although he had asked Trippy to look for a shop, he knew that Trippy might not really help him—he had to rely on himself for everything.But during his stroll yesterday afternoon, he had noticed plenty of shops that were being offered on rent or sublease. Business in Antique Street was likely poor, so Raymond came early to make inquiries about the rented properties.When Oskia's antique market was at its peak, Antique Street too enjoyed its golden age. Even now, the eyes of any antique p

    Gratitude showed on Elaine and Jacob's faces as soon as they heard that Charlie was giving them a hundred grand too, with Elaine clapping and cheering, "Oh, what day is it today? All the good things are happening in one stroke! I heard Dubai is heaven for shoppers, so it'd definitely be a thrill!"Then, turning toward Jacob, she asked, "Do they need a visa over there?"Jacob thought about it. "I don't think so.""Great!"Even more excited now, Elaine quickly told Jacob, "Say no more—I will pack right now, and we can leave tomorrow!"She was ready to head to her room and do just that too, but Jacob quickly stopped her, "Calm down—we can't leave just because we want to. There's so much to plan: booking our flight, doing our research on the more interesting places to visit, getting a hotel that makes traveling convenient, as well as deciding how long we'll be there.""Right! Right!" Elaine nodded in realization and exclaimed in praise, "In the end, it's my hubby who thinks things th

    Elaine was beside herself with joy at those words. "Oh, wonderful! It's been so long since I went traveling! I never really had time to enjoy myself before in the US anyway, and I even got screwed over before I left."Then, she turned toward Jacob and grumbled, "You really didn't give a shit back when we got married. Not only was our wedding so discreet, you didn't even take me on a honeymoon!""You were already heavily pregnant," Jacob chuckled awkwardly. "Where would I have taken you…?"Then, he quickly added, "Well, since dear Charlie has said it, you should pick a place you like. We will treat it as our honeymoon!"It wasn't just Elaine—it had been a long while since Jacob had gone traveling. He had thought he would find success in both love and career during the Korean exchange trip, but he had been left blinded by the blinding presence of Yolden Hart, and his love had basically ended there. That was why there was nothing pleasant about that trip at all.There was also no q

    "Hah!"Elaine pursed her lips as she huffed. "It hurts to keep that money? That's the first time I've ever heard that crap. Forget two million US dollars—I would keep two gold bullions in my pocket even if it's burnt red-hot!"She then quickly added, "If it hurts you to keep it, then wire it to me and I'll keep it for you. When you and Charlie have a kid, you can use that money for their university fees!"Charlie was at once amused—only Elaine would have the audacity to say that when the two million would definitely have been spent to the last dime even before he and Claire had a child.Claire was aware that she couldn't count on her mother in regards to money and hence said, "Let me think about it… for now, my plan is that I will stay involved with the project to the end. Should it prove to be a success, I will keep the money. If it doesn't, I should at least return it to Miss Fox."Elaine quickly pressed, "If you're going to return it, you should at most return half.
