At this moment, Sheldon still could not understand what kind of major incident had happened. Hence, he looked at Lord Schulz and asked, “Dad, what has happened?” Sighing lightly, Lord Schulz lamented, “Sigh… it’s Rosalie…” Sheldon hurriedly asked, “Have you found Rosalie’s whereabouts?” Lord Schulz shook his head and replied, “Not yet. Sheldon... about Rosalie, I would like to apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me...” Sheldon never thought his dad would ask him for forgiveness. He immediately replied, “Dad, what did you do? If there’s anything, just say it. If Rosalie couldn’t be rescued in the end, I won’t blame you…” Sheldon still felt that Lord Schulz had put in a lot of effort in rescuing Rosalie. However, the difficulty level of this matter was indeed very high. Moreover, it had happened in Japan. The Schulz family could not do much. Thus, it was understandable if, during the process of rescuing, accidents happened, which had made the rescue

Lord Schulz coldly said, “Don’t forget, she’s just an illegitimate daughter with a shady background!” Sheldon growled, “What’s wrong with an illegitimate daughter? An illegitimate daughter is still my daughter!” Lord Schulz was equally angry and confronted him, “What?! Are you disputing my decision?! Are you sure you want to get even after all these things?” Grinding his teeth, Sheldon replied, “It’s because of what you did that my own daughter is lost, and my wife also wants a divorce!” Lord Schulz coldly uttered, “Don’t ever think that I was the one who harmed Rosalie. It was actually you who harmed her!” “If not for you ordering her to murder the Matsumoto family, why would the Japanese government hate her guts?” “Your own daughter became Japan’s top felon, all because she carried out your order!” “Judging from all the crimes she had committed, based on the Japanese law, she is doomed!” “Hence, you must remember, you’re the one who harmed her!

Faced with his father’s rebuke, Sheldon replied with an anguished look, “Dad, shouldn't relationships be like this? There will always be one party that is more devoted than the other. Moreover, when Helen was with me, she was realistic and wasn’t impetuous. Comparatively, I’ve disappointed her…” With a hint of impatience on his face, Cadfan waved his hand and said, “Let’s not talk about Helen. Now isn’t the right time to discuss your daughter and your relationships. The most important thing to do now is to plan on how to face the upcoming crisis!” “Yes, Big Brother!” Steven uttered with a depressed expression, “We’re really messed up now. The Japanese are raging at the Schulz family, and the Oskians also consider us to be heartless. On the internet, there’s a crusade against us. When the stock market opens tomorrow, those shares of listed companies will surely plunge. By that time, our losses will be unmeasurable!” Sebastian also blurted out, “Also, even our own people now wo

Sheldon forced himself to temporarily put the issues related to Helen and Rosalie at the back of his mind, and he asked, “Dad, have you estimated the losses we’ll suffer as a result of this matter?" Cadfan sighed, “It doesn’t look good. Besides Oskia, Japan is the largest market in Asia. Based on this fact, it’s an immeasurable loss for the Schulz family now and in the future!” “Moreover, Japanese companies have had overseas arrangements for many years. Their influence is strong. No matter if it's the US or European markets, they have participated in depth. If the Japanese companies were to snipe the Schulz family overseas, our future overseas development will be greatly affected!” Steven hurriedly asked, “Dad, can’t we find a way to salvage the relationship with the Japanese government?” “Salvage?!” Cadfan smiled bitterly, “How? If we can find Rosalie and return her to the Japanese judiciary, we could at least salvage a bit. But now, Rosalie’s whereabouts are unkno

Steven initially prepared a one-two punch. He planned to attack Sheldon’s lower body with the first punch for messing around with a woman back in the day, causing all these problems. This would be followed by the second punch that was meant to attack Sheldon for his violent manner of handling issues, which was the assassination of people that had led to such a huge catastrophe. The first punch had missed the target. However, the second punch indeed hit Sheldon right in the face. When the other siblings of the Schulz family heard this, they immediately showed an expression that expressed their agreement.After all, the issue in Japan had nothing to do with them. Now, they had to be dragged into this mess because of Sheldon’s actions. Sheldon’s expression turned very awful immediately. The order to exterminate the entire Matsumoto family had indeed been issued by him to Rosalie. However, there was one issue that he dared not mention. At that time,

He was a smart person. Thus, he was crystal clear on how much this heart-to-heart talk from his little brother contained malice. Grinding his teeth, he sneered silently. ‘Steven, oh Steven! You’re truly finding opportunities to f*cking kick me when I’m down!’ ‘Even though I’m responsible for this whole matter, the one who caused the Schulz family to be in this passive situation was not me, but Lord Schulz! However, this motherf*cker, Steven, pushed all the blame to me in front of so many people. He is forcing me to bear the blame!’ ‘If I were to bear it, I’d become the criminal.’ ‘But if I’m not willing to bear it, I’m not sure how Lord Schulz would take it. He will surely hate me!’ ‘Moreover, this b*stard, Steven, repeatedly mentioned that I’m the future leader of the Schulz family and wants to assist me in front of Lord Schulz. This motherf*cker really has a murderous heart!’ ‘Lord Schulz is still alive and in control of the entire Schulz family! However,

When he heard of Lord Schulz’s arrangement, Sheldon nearly wanted to vomit blood! ‘It was clearly Lord Schulz who f*cking created so many problems, but I need to go to Australia to avoid the spotlight?! What the f*ck is going on!’ Thinking of this, he immediately said, “Dad, I can accept it if you want me to avoid the public eye. However, there’s no need for me to go to Australia, right? There are still many things to do in the company, plus I need to think of ways to salvage my relationship with Helen!” Lord Schulz coldly replied, “If you stay here, the paparazzi will follow your every move. Don’t you forget, there are so many families out there who are just waiting for a chance to bring us down. You’re their breaking point!” “Thus, I think it’s better if you hide in Australia. Don’t we still have a seaside villa in Queensland? You can go and relax there. As for the matters here, I’ll help you.” Sheldon almost collapsed. He angrily sneered in his heart, ‘T

For any teenager in their twenties to suddenly find out about their father having an illegitimate daughter, it would be hard to accept this kind of reality. This was especially so for Sophie. She was the same as her mother, Helen. Both had serious mysophobia in regards to relationships. Despite never having dated anyone till today, Sophie would certainly be like her mother and insist on divorcing her husband if the same thing happened to her. Thus, even though it was hard for her to accept this reality at the moment, she fully agreed with her mother’s decision. Regarding this matter, Jaime had a little bit of male chauvinism. To him, it was impossible for his father to be loyal to marriage for a lifetime based on his identity. A wealthy man would rarely be satisfied with only one partner of the opposite gender. Hence, it was normal to flirt outside. After all, he grew up in an upper-class social circle from a young age. In this circle, he had

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
