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

As she spoke, Sophie was also a little exhausted as she said, “The main point is that the both of us are the only ones who have met our benefactor before. So, only the two of us can do this kind of identification work.”Jaime nodded helplessly and said, “You are right. Let’s hurry up and try to find some clues about our benefactor as soon as possible!”As he spoke, Jaime suddenly remembered something and said, “By the way, Sophie, I will be going to Aurous Hill in two days. Do you want to come along too?”Sophie asked curiously, “What are you going to do in Aurous Hill?”Jaime replied embarrassedly, “Didn’t I sign a sponsorship and collaboration contract for Quinn’s concert? She will be holding her first concert of the year in Aurous Hill on the second day of February. Didn’t I promise her that I was going to donate ten million dollars to the Aurous Hill Charity? So, I want to personally make a trip there in advance so that I can not only arrange for the ten million dollars to be i

In truth, even if Jaime had not said anything, Sophie, who was extremely intelligent, had already noticed the recent abnormality in the family’s atmosphere.Also, the news from Japan was constantly airing news about Rosalie. Sophie knew that the Schulz family had made a mess in Japan in an attempt to save Rosalie.However, what she did not quite understand was the reason why her father was putting in so much time and effort into Rosalie’s matter.Based on reasoning, Rosalie was just a servant working for the Schulz family.If anything happened to a servant, the Schulz family would only need to give her family a generous pension according to the predetermined contract. After that, it would be sufficient if they paid them the settlement fee every month.Sophie felt that there was no need for them to switch a servant out from the hands of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.She could already figure out the high cost behind this action with a little brainstorming. It would cert

It was the same for the Japanese Homeland Security Bureau.If the Homeland Security Bureau were to arrest the members of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to bring them back for interrogation on the grounds of threats to the national security, even the top commander of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces would not have any right to stop or question them at all.All the members of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces were also very clear that it would not be a good thing for them as soon as they got involved with the Homeland Security Bureau. Even if they did not die, they would certainly suffer from great mental and physical torture.Therefore, the people in the Japanese Self-Defense Forces had a natural fear of the Homeland Security Bureau.It was also precisely because of the reputation that the Homeland Security Bureau had, amongst the members of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces who were arrested and brought back for the surprise interrogation, some of the people with weaker psychologic

Late at night.Eastcliff.Sheldon could not hide his disappointment as he returned to his own home.His mood was very complicated at this moment, and he was in a state of utter confusion.Earlier in the evening, Rosalie’s biological mother, Yashita, had come to Schulz Group to meet him.As soon as the both of them met, Yashita began anxiously asking him about Rosalie’s whereabouts.However, Sheldon did not know how he should respond to her question.This was because he did not know where Rosalie was either.It seemed as though Rosalie had evaporated from the face of this world, leaving absolutely no clues behind at all.Yashita, who was missing an arm, knelt in front of Sheldon as she cried and pleaded with Sheldon because she hoped that Sheldon would do everything within his means to find out Rosalie’s whereabouts. After all, she was still his biological daughter.Sheldon agreed to her request.Rosalie was indeed his biological daughter. This had been supported by the resul

Helen nodded slightly. She had never cared or interfered in Sheldon’s work ever since she had married him.This was because she felt that there was no need for her to interfere with a man’s affairs.Therefore, she had never asked Sheldon about the details of his work before.When she saw that Sheldon looked very tired, she said, “You can change your clothes first. I will put some water into the bathtub for you so that you can take a good bath first. You should turn off your cell phone when you go to bed tonight. You are not allowed to get out of bed until you wake up naturally tomorrow!”Sheldon was a little moved, and he hurriedly said, “Honey, you don’t need to worry about me. I can fill the bathtub up with water on my own.”Helen replied, “I just used the water in the bathtub. It will take quite some time to release the water and change the water in the bathtub. You should just change your clothes and rest for a while first.”Sheldon smiled as he said, “It’s okay. I can just s

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6480
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
