Sheldon was worried that he would cause the old man to feel dissatisfied with him because of this matter involving Rosalie. If the old man chose to remove him, he would certainly suffer extremely heavy losses. His whole life’s effort would just go to waste, then.As he thought about this, Sheldon decided that he would have to control his own emotions as much as possible in front of the old man when it came to Rosalie’s matter. He should not allow the old man to feel any dissatisfaction toward him!His daughter was naturally important to him, but the position as the head of the Schulz family was even more important.Furthermore, Rosalie was merely his illegitimate daughter!***Meanwhile, Lord Schulz also felt more or less worried even after losing his temper at Sheldon.In truth, the main reason why he had gotten angry at Sheldon was mainly because he wanted to hide his guilty conscience.After all, Lord Schulz was the one who had decided to betray Rosalie.The old man had alre

At this moment, in Tokyo, Japan.The forty-eight-year-old Suzuki Tomohisa was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office where he had just taken office. He was completely helpless and at a loss for what to do.He was the new Superintendent General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.Prior to this, he was a middle-level senior officer at the Homeland Security Bureau. He was very well-known, and he had a good reputation in the Homeland Security Bureau because he was very good at investigating, and not to mention, his methods were also very solid and impressive. This time, when it was discovered that Rosalie had been switched out for someone else, the whole of Japan had been shocked. The Japanese government was also overwhelmed because of this matter, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had become the target of public criticism.Since there was truly no other way, the Japanese government could only entrust Tomohisa with this mission at this tou

Tomohisa said angrily, “Tell them that there is currently no progress on this matter. If there is any substantial progress, I will surely hold a press conference to make an announcement to the domestic and even the worldwide media.”His deputy nodded and said, “Okay, Mr. Suzuki! I will go and give them an answer now!”Tomohisa stopped him and said, “Oh, yes. From now on, no media or reporters are allowed to enter the premises of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department without any invitation or permission!”“Okay! I got it!”After his deputy went out, Tomohisa rubbed his temples as he felt very vexed, and he muttered to himself, “Sigh… it is really not a good thing to be entrusted with this kind of critical and difficult mission! This case has such a great influence. It is not only the people in the country who are paying attention to this matter, but even the overseas media are also interested in this case. If I do not handle this matter well, my reputation will certainly be ruine

Nanako’s words overturned all of Tomohisa’s guesses and inferences in regards to this whole matter.He would never have expected that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces would actually get involved in this kind of matter, and a strong wave of anger arose in his heart in an instant!Immediately afterward, Tomohisa ground his teeth and said, “Nanako, I truly have to thank you and your friend for this information. I will certainly arrest all the relevant people, interrogate them, and put them on trial as soon as possible!”Nanako smiled as she said, “Suzuki, I hope that this clue will be of some help to you.”Tomohisa replied steadfastly and affirmatively, “Nanako, if this clue is indeed true, you would have certainly helped me a lot!”After that, Tomohisa hurriedly said, “Nanako, I will not continue chatting with you anymore. I have to hurry up and make all the arrangements for the arrests first!”“Okay, Suzuki!”After Tomohisa had hung up the phone, he immediately contacted his old

However, she had only just discovered that Charlie was not home after she had arrived.It turned out that Charlie had already left for Japan because of an emergency a few days ago and had not returned yet.This made Loreen feel a little lost and despondent. Her originally happy and ecstatic mood instantly dimmed a lot.In fact, Loreen had actually been a little hesitant when Claire and her family had invited her to stay and join them for lunch just half an hour ago. She felt that since Charlie was not at home, she would only be wasting an opportunity to get closer to Charlie if she were to stay at Claire’s house for lunch today.She was thinking of telling them that she would just visit them again another day, but Loreen could not turn them down because Claire had been very enthusiastic, and she finally agreed to stay for lunch with them. However, Loreen would never have expected Charlie to come home even before they had started eating their meal!Therefore, Loreen was looking a

When she saw that Jacob and Elaine were about to get into an argument again, Claire hurriedly came forward to smooth things over. “Oh, Dad! Mom! Can’t the both of you talk without getting into an argument? Charlie just came home, and Loreen is here as well. Don’t embarrass yourselves in front of others…”Jacob looked at Elaine before he snorted coldly, “I won’t stoop to your level and argue with you anymore because I am giving my daughter face!”Elaine replied disdainfully, “You make it sound as though I want to stoop to your level and argue with you.”After she was done speaking, Elaine stopped looking at Jacob as she turned her head to the side. At this time, Loreen felt a little awkward as she said to Claire, “By the way, Claire, Quinn Golding will be coming to hold a concert here in Aurous Hill next month. Why don’t we go and watch it together, then?”Claire hurriedly smiled as she said, “Charlie said that he is going to accompany me to the concert. He knows Quinn personally,

What would he do if Loreen insisted on sitting next to him, then?Therefore, he certainly would have to turn her request down no matter what it was. He would simply allow her to find a way to get the tickets on her own. The best situation would be if she could not get a front-row seat for herself. However, if she did indeed manage to get a front-row seat for herself, as long as she was not seated next to him, he would have nothing to worry about.At this time, Loreen said to Claire again, “Claire, do you want to go shopping together with me later in the afternoon?”Claire glanced at Charlie before she whispered in Loreen’s ear, “Loreen, I don’t think I will go shopping with you. I will have to go back to work in two days. Furthermore, Charlie has just returned after being out for a few days. I want to stay at home to accompany him a little more.”Loreen was shocked.She could tell that Claire was speaking from the bottom of her heart when she said this.This made Loreen realize t

Meanwhile, at the Schulz family mansion in Eastcliff.Although Rosalie’s disappearance had made Cadfan and Sheldon feel very worried and nervous, this matter did not affect Sophie and Jaime’s mood at all.Both of them did not know about Rosalie’s true identity, and they simply regarded her as one of the servants in the family. Besides, Rosalie had always been working as Sheldon’s personal bodyguard, and she rarely had any form of interaction with the pair of siblings. Therefore, the pair of siblings naturally did not care too much about her affairs or wellbeing.At this time, the pair of siblings were in Sophie’s study room, and they were both staring at the computer screen. They were looking at the screenshots from the surveillance cameras that their subordinates had compiled for them.These screenshots were filled with pictures of the faces of young males with fair skin.These screenshots had been taken and saved from several surveillance videos from major airports in Japan by t

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an

That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door

Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6478
Soon, the video of Mick's staged act was uploaded to the online group, and everyone eagerly watched it as soon as it was done uploading.Mick certainly set a new bar with his acting as none of them could see that it was an act.Moreover, everyone could see that the bronze sculpture looked like the real deal, and they might have been swindled if it were them.As such, they couldn't help being impressed as Mick had easily seen through Billy's con, and he was the definition of a pro in that video.No matter how Billy had packaged it, there was no tricking real experts like Mick Crane. Just a quick glance and he had seen through that it was a postmodern replica, matched with a base from the Renaissance era to misdirect and beguile.With that, many fellow antique dealers changed their opinion of Mick.After all, Vintage Deluxe's business had been declining after Mick took over as manager, and people were presuming that his skills were lacking.But now, they were all shown that he had

"Amazing, Mr. Crane!""It's Mr. Crane who shines through, in the end! His eyes see through everything!""I guess Miss Moore made the right choice firing Raymond and appointing Mr. Crane! Mr. Crane is infinitely better!"Mick was immediately thrilled to see them fawning over him, and he laughed, "You flatter me—I'm merely sharing my personal perspective on this. In this trade, anyone who knows would understand how hard it is to get the good stuff in this age of technology.""There are plenty of people who hold ulterior motives and change their tactics knowing that there are always those scheming to get their hands on vintage treasures, so they just have to make it. That is how they started making counterfeits of everything, from scrolls to sculptures to statues, each of them so real just to trick those fools who think they could get rich overnight!""Exactly!" Someone promptly agreed. "There's never a lack of any such fools, and I just happened to meet one. I had this piece of jade

In groups like these, any gossip would immediately spread like wildfire as people share everything here with their other circles.Within minutes of these people's good work, Antique Street was abuzz even as the skies darkened: one of the antique traders had been swindled for 300 thousand, and it was Raymond Cole—the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe at that!Some of them wondered when Raymond had actually returned while others were laughing.He was supposed to be the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe, but he had messed up as well? You had to be kidding!Many were dumbstruck too—how would Raymond survive in Antique Street after losing so much money? It had been so long since such a major scam had been pulled!As such, all the antique dealers were asking one question: how did Raymond Cole get fooled?Meanwhile, Mick didn't leak the security footage right away, instead sending his people out to spread the news in other channels, claiming that Raymond thought he had won big by
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6475
Mick had already clipped the security footage and was waiting for Zachary's word.He had checked the footage repeatedly as well and was only getting more impressed with his masterful acting by the second. He looked just like a maestro, and every detail he mentioned was flawless and showed experience.Zacahry even said that Raymond had truly slipped up with that bronze sculpture, leaving him endlessly thrilled.The proverbial missing piece of the puzzle was here!Hence, calling all the staff he trusted, he told them excitedly, "Spread the word right away—Raymond Cole slipped up, spending 300 thousand on a fake Renaissance-era bronze sculpture!"His staff had no idea of the conspiracy involved, only that Mick had said that someone had tried to sell a counterfeit bronze sculpture but he had seen through it right away and chased him away, only for Raymond to end up buying the fake bronze sculpture soon after.Someone asked, "Mr. Crane, don't you think Raymond Cole bought from the man
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6474
Raymond had said everything he should and shouldn't and with complete sincerity exactly because Billy would never believe it.As Billy just wanted to swindle him, it didn't matter how sincere Raymond was—he wanted the 300 thousand whatever it took. The key here was that Billy had refused a better prospect when told it was possible, and there was evidence that would support Raymond if either he or Zachary realized the truth and came to start trouble.That meant Raymond had nothing to worry about—they could take this to the United Nations but he'd still win this case.Having been in the antique trade for so long, he had seen every form of oddity and was always cautious with people, considering every aspect of any issue.Hence, once he downloaded the security footage to his phone, Raymond decided that he needed to sell the bronze sculpture—not because he was in urgent need of money, but because he realized that there were those who wanted him out of Aurous Hill's Antique Street.Afte
