After Charlie went downstairs, Don Albert, who was sitting in the car, quickly beckoned for Charlie to come over immediately. “Mr. Wade, get in the car!”Charlie nodded before walking over to the car quickly. Albert started driving as soon as Charlie got into the car and then headed toward the outskirts of the city.On the way there, Albert suddenly said anxiously, “I heard that a very famous and reputable Feng Shui master will also be coming from Hong Kong today. Mr. Wade, you cannot let him steal your limelight!”After that, Albert continued speaking. “Miss Moore is the eldest daughter of the Moore family, and she will be taking over the Moore family business soon. If we manage to save her from this predicament, she will definitely take care of us in the future!”Charlie laughed before saying, “Albert, you are not so kind after all. Yesterday, you told me that the reason why you were so worried about Jasmine was that you wanted to repay her grandfather’s kindness. However, now yo
Even though the butler obviously despised Albert, the latter was not offended at all. On the contrary, he continued speaking to Oscar respectfully with a smile on his face. “Look here, Uncle Oscar. The issues that Miss Moore is facing are getting more and more severe. All of us are worried about her! Moreover, we can’t be certain that Master Lennard from Hong Kong will definitely be able to resolve the problems that Miss Moore is facing.”Upon hearing that, Oscar replied coldly, “Do you really think that you will be able to find anyone as capable as Master Lennard? Please leave immediately. You will never be able to pay the Moore family back for their losses if you interrupt Master Lennard while he is reading Miss Moore’s Feng Shui for her!”Albert scratched his head anxiously because he did not expect Oscar to stop them from entering the villa. If Oscar refused to let them in, how would Charlie be able to help Jasmine?As he thought about it, Albert suddenly blurted out, “Uncle Osc
At that moment in the room, a lean middle-aged man who was wearing a blue shirt was holding a compass as he looked around the room, muttering some words. Jasmine was standing with her back facing the door. However, as soon as she heard someone knocking on the door, she turned around before asking, “Uncle Oscar, is there something wrong?”Oscar hurriedly replied, “Miss Moore, Albert brought Mr. Wade over here to help you look at your Feng Shui.”Jasmine turned around and she was extremely surprised when she saw Charlie. “Charlie, why are you here?”When Charlie looked at Jasmine, he realized that she truly did look a lot more haggard as compared to when he had seen her a few days ago. According to the , there were shadows on her forehead, and it seemed as though something was really wrong with her fortune at this time.Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “Albert told me that you were in trouble, so he brought me here to have a look at your Feng Shui.”Just the
When Jasmine heard that Master Lennard had already discovered the source of all her problems, she was very excited and quickly exclaimed, “Master Lennard, since you have already identified the source of all my problems, will my fortune improve after I remove that potted plant?”“Unfortunately, no.” Master Lennard replied with a serious expression on his face. “You should understand that a Feng Shui formation is an invisible formation. Even if you remove the green potted plant, you will not be able to remove the influence that it has left on the Feng Shui formation.”Jasmine hurriedly asked, “In that case, what should I do?”Master Lennard replied, “You should place an exorcism transporter refined by a Feng Shui master by the window instead of that potted plant. That way, you will be able to completely eradicate all of your problems, and at that time, your good fortune will continue to flow in from the east!”Jasmine then asked, “What is an exorcism transporter?”Master Lennard qui
Master Lennard quickly put the cheque away before walking over to the window and removing the green potted plant. Then, he placed the chalcedony stone by the window as he continued chanting his mantras. Charlie scoffed as he witnessed this scene.He realized that Master Lennard did not know what he was doing at all. Moreover, he had even caused a catastrophe by making the situation worse than it originally was!From the , Charlie had already studied a strange scenario that was similar to what he was witnessing in Jasmine’s room.He could feel a terrifying Feng Shui formation in this room, and he realized that the Feng Shui in this room was a ‘dragon encapsulation formation’. As the name suggested, even if a dragon was living under this Feng Shui formation, it would also be trapped. If so, how could an ordinary person escape this?Therefore, no matter how good a person’s fortune was, those who lived in a ‘dragon encapsulation formation’ would inevitably lose th
Jasmine could not understand what was happening. Why was she suddenly facing such a huge problem even though Master Lennard had already changed her fortune for her?Just then, the other party replied over the phone, “There is nothing we can do now, Miss Moore. The other party is demanding for us to pay compensation to them immediately. They refused to accept any of the goods at all.”Jasmine hurriedly asked, “Are you sure you are not making a mistake? Can you ask them to verify this issue again?”The other party quickly replied, “I have already asked them to verify the situation. However, even after checking the products twice, they insist that the products were not up to their expectations whatsoever.”Jasmine blurted out immediately, “I want you to check our export records immediately and find out who produced this batch of goods! I want you to find the person responsible for this matter so that they can explain everything to me as soon as possible!”After that, she instructed t
When Charlie saw the sixty-inch television falling toward Jasmine’s feet, he quickly took a step forward and grabbed her hand before pulling her into his arms.The television set fell and hit the ground with a crash!The television casing and screen smashed to the ground, a piece of shattered plastic flying out and slashing Jasmine’s slender and fair leg.“Ahh!” Jasmine yelled out in pain as soon as she felt the sharp pain in her calf. When she lowered her head, she realized that there was a two to three centimeter-long cut in her calf, and blood started gushing out of the wound in a flash.Charlie hurriedly took out a piece of tissue from his pocket before kneeling down beside Jasmine and pressing the piece of tissue against her calf. After that, he asked, “Jasmine, do you have any first aid kit at home? We need to disinfect your wound immediately.”Jasmine was a little irate when Charlie touched her leg and she wanted to yell at him. However, when she recalled that Charlie was t
Master Lennard only realized the huge catastrophe he had caused after hearing Charlie’s explanation. Therefore, he hurriedly said, “Miss Moore, I am so sorry! That was not my intention! Master, please take that stone away immediately…”Charlie shook his head before he replied, “It is already useless to take that stone away now. After all, the ‘dragon encapsulation formation’ is already completed, and it is equivalent to throwing a stone into water. Even if you took the stone out from the water, the waves generated by the stone cannot be undone anymore.”Jasmine looked at Charlie with a dumbfounded expression on her face. She suddenly felt a little more respect for him, and she quickly asked, “Mr. Wade, can you help me to resolve this problem caused by the ‘dragon encapsulation formation’? I will not hesitate to pay you no matter how much money I have to spend to resolve this issue!”As soon as Albert heard Charlie’s words, he quickly said, “Mr. Wade, you have to help our young lady!
As soon as Jacob sent the voice message, Mr. Bay called.Jacob quickly answered, asking nervously, "How are things over there, Mr. Bay?""How, you ask…?" Mr. Bay sighed in exasperation. "The entire Calligraphy and Painting Association was demanding your dismissal as soon as Zachary Evans posted his statement, thinking that you have no business being the administrative vice president let alone have a place in the association."Even those officials came asking me questions, and you know how they are—gossipers, every last one of them, always finding out about the juicy stuff instantly even if it's really no big deal. The only excuse I have to stop them is that we don't have the facts, but this issue still needs to be taken care of."So, be straight with me. Were you a part of this? If you don't, do you have any definitive evidence that can refute Zachary's claims?""I… Uh…" Jacob stammered, unable to answer.He certainly wanted to say no, but he had no evidence to back himself up.
Jacob bellowed furiously, "Raymond Cole made over 19 million dollars! From my bronze sculpture! Yet you're telling me to refund that 300 thousand too?! You're just fucking with me, aren't you?!""Well, if you don't like it, just do what you like, then," Zachary replied calmly and quickly hung up before Jacob could answer.Jacob was left twitching and shaking endlessly, and there was no telling if it was from rage or fear.Beside him, Elaine quickly asked, "What did Zachary say, dear? Can he get that bronze sculpture back?"Caught by surprise at her question, Jacob flinched, and his phone slipped out of his grasp.As it seemed to hover in the air, he tried to catch it twice but failed, but Elaine managed to grab it.It was then that she noticed that he was sweating all over his face, and she promptly asked, "What's wrong, dear?"Coming to his senses, Jacob's eyes went wide with rage. "Zachary is trying to kill me! He leaked the whole thing to his Twitter page—it's like he's pulli
Jacob turned his phone's loudspeaker on before switching panels to Twitter.He was already shocked to find dozens of people directly messaging him, and he was naturally curious why so many of them were looking for him while he was on his trip to Dubai.However, he had no time to find out as he promptly tapped on his social feed, and it took much swiping to reach Zachary's apology post.He tapped on it, scanning through it just before he went dizzy, the world spinning around him while a dull hum rang in his ears.Never would he have expected Zachary to spill the beans, leaking every detail including Jacob's name and contact information. What was that if not mutual destruction?!Absolutely furious, he bellowed at Zachary again, "What the fuck is this?! Are you trying to kill me, posting this shit?!""I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson, but I've come to understand how grave of a mistake I've made," Zachary calmly replied. "I've actually visited Treasure Measure earlier to apologize to Mr. Cole
Within hours, Jacob and Elaine's flight had landed at Dubai International Airport, and the first thing he did was turn off his phone's flight mode.Then, staring at the upper right corner, he waited for the phone to find a network signal.He had connected to international data roaming, and within a few dozen seconds, he was connected to the internet.Once he did, a ton of notifications popped up on his phone, but he didn't care to check any of them and instead opened his contacts and called Zachary.Zachary was in his office, ready to do his usual rounds inspecting Don Albert's premises.While he had indeed completely lost his reputation at Aurous Hill's Antique Street after pinning that post on top of his social page and was given plenty of weird looks by people around him, he didn't care because he knew how to prioritize.Right now, the most important thing that he had to do was put all his body and spirit into his work and not get distracted by anything else.Only then could
The man who had called out to him shrugged. "Zachary posted it on his account. Check it out yourself!"Mick promptly tapped out of his message editor, refreshed his social feed, and immediately saw Zachary's apology post.Once he tapped on it and read it, he almost had a stroke and was cursing before he knew it, "Fuck technology! It's like a self-exploding truck! Fuck you, Zachary Evans, blowing yourself up before I could end you! What a bitch!" Naturally, the post also made Jacob infamous.The Calligraphy and Painting Association more or less had a stake in the antique trade, and the members were shocked that Jacob was involved in such a scandal.Within minutes, word reached Mr. Bay, leaving him pacing around in his office anxiously.Mr. Bay was eager to suck up to Jacob too, which was why he had intended to let Jacob inherit his position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association after he was promoted.But while he thought it was as good as done, he didn't expec
With that in mind, Raymond quickly understood what had happened—Charlie must have been informed of the entire story and was intent on teaching Zachary, Mick Crane, and Jacob a lesson.Hence, he smiled at Zachary, "You really didn't have to apologize about that. I should be thanking you gentlemen since business isn't exactly booming in Antique Street, and I couldn't ask for more, opening up with such a grand deal."Zachary felt like he had been slapped in the face, but he was also relieved that Raymond wasn't pressing the issue, so he said earnestly, "Don't worry, Mr. Cole—I won't ever meddle with your business or conspire against you again. However, I won't hesitate to answer if you ever call on me!"Also, you have nothing to worry about—we will return the full amount of the 300 thousand we got from you. Please forgive us and don't charge us with anything else…"Raymond pulled him to his feet, smiling as he said, "After a conflict comes friendship. Do drop by more often if you have
At the moment, Treasure Measure was congested as crowds of people were there to congratulate Raymond on his new business or ask for appraisals of their items.Zachary stood at the door, hesitating for a moment before steeling himself and entering.Many in Aurous Hill's Antique Streett knew him and also knew that he wasn't the man he was before, so many greeted him the instant he entered, each person more respectful the next.Zachary was left sweating, only realizing then that he had really messed up and didn't deserve the privilege that Master Wade and Don Albert had given him.His eyes fixed on Raymond, and he went over, feeling very embarrassed.Seeing him, Raymond presumed that he was going to do it himself after his men had failed to recover the bronze sculpture, and he asked warily, "To what do I owe the pleasure, Zachary?"Zachary suddenly dropped to one knee, exclaiming in regret, "Mr. Cole, I'm sorry!"Raymond was frowning as he thought Zachary was up to more tricks, but
Mick was utterly hopeful as he watched the Moore Group human resource manager return, believing that he had turned things around.However, as soon as the human resource manager sat down, he immediately said, "Apologies, Mr. Crane. It seems that it's not just the significant losses you've incurred for the company—you are now also found guilty of personal misconduct, specifically unethical business stratagems. As per the company's wishes, your labor contract is terminated immediately."Mick certainly didn't think that telling the truth had failed to resolve the significant losses part, and he was now slapped with personal misconduct on top of that.Bracing himself, he asked the human resource manager, "But what did Ms. Moore say? She's close friends with Don Albert, and everyone involved in this are friends, anyway…"The human resource manager shook his head and said coolly, "Save your breath, Mr. Crane. The issue has been decided without grounds for further discussion. The notice of
With those words, Mick whipped out his phone, holding it in front of the Moore Group human resource manager and showing his chat records with Zachary as well as the script he had sent."I know words don't mean much, but here's the chat records between myself and Zachary Evans! See for yourself!"At this point, Mick had to do whatever he could.After all, Don Albert was a friend of Jasmine Moore, and the chat records would prove that he hadn't made a blunder and was merely following a staged act that Zachary had planned.From a certain point of view, he was implicating Zachary and Don Albertas as well, but he really had no choice but to bet everything on it.The human resource manager was actually frowning after seeing the chat records too, surprised that something like this had happened, with Don Albert's henchman being involved too.Eyeing Mick, he said, "Hold on. I'll make a call."Seeing that the human resource manager was taking him seriously, Mick felt hope once more as the
