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

Helen had been wanting to visit Aurous Hill for almost twenty years.Ever since the death of Curtis and his wife, she had wanted to visit Aurous Hill at least once. After all, that was the place where Curtis had finally resided and perished.As a woman who had loved him for most of her life, she especially wanted to visit Aurous Hill to walk, see, and live for a while, trying to find traces of Curtis’ existence in the city.However, as a married woman, her morality had always gotten the upper hand over her that she should not go to Aurous Hill because that would be unfair to her husband.The secret visit to the Wade family’s ancestral tomb to pay respect to Curtis was already making Helen feel guilt toward Sheldon, so it would be inappropriate to visit Aurous Hill.But now, she no longer had those moral constraints.Sheldon had cheated on her in the first place and broken the marital vow, so she no longer needed to be bound for any reason. It was time to realize her wish to visit

Sophie quickly said, “Okay, Mom. Have a good rest tonight. I’ll call you in the morning!”“Okay.”After Sophie ended the call, Jaime said with some concern, “Sophie, Dad has always been a bit evasive about Aurous Hill. If he finds out that we’re going there with Mom, will he be mad?”Sophie snorted coldly, “Who cares? He has an illegitimate daughter, and he even dared to bring her home and put her under the eyes of our family. Why doesn’t he think that we will be mad too?!”After a pause, Sophie said angrily, “Seriously, I want to confront him about this! Us going to Aurous Hill is a sign for him to know that it’s all his fault!”Jaime said awkwardly, “Hey, we are his children. It isn’t nice for us to bring this up or even confront him about it…”With that, Jaime added, “Think about it, how many of those rich and famous guys in the world are completely loyal to their wives? I bet most of them have an affair or two outside. Dad was just confused at that time. He is still considere

That night, the entire Eastcliff was greatly shaken.After the big stir the Schulz family had caused in Japan and the family had then been targeted by the Japanese National Security Bureau, it had brought a huge blow to the reputation as well as the influence of the Schulz family.At the same time, other families in Eastcliff, led by the Wade family, were restless and ready for action.Now, the Schulz family had not only lost a large number of martial artists, but they had also offended their overseas plutocrats, causing them to shrink in power and be humble. Because of this, it was the best opportunity for other families to seize the Schulz family’s wealth and power.Jeremiah was particularly excited about this. He felt that this was God’s blessing for his family to rise again!Therefore, he gathered all his children except Carmen and immediately made a three-year plan.From now on, for the next three years, the Wade family would launch an all-out attack on the Schulz family, ju

While Jacob was feeling delighted after pulling off his con, Raymond had posted details of the bronze sculpture online.The website he was using was the biggest platform for antique collectors and the antique trade where each user could set a favorite tag in the antique category and era. If a user who preferred canvas art pieces of the Tudor dynasty set that label as their favorite, they would immediately be notified with text or desktop notifications in regards to any item with the same label.As medieval bronze sculptures were rare in the first place, most who were interested had already set that label on their favorites and were immediately notified soon after Raymond posted pictures of the bronze sculpture online.The collectors were naturally eager to check it out as gilded sculptures of the medieval era were really rare, and most collectors would go a lifetime without picking one up for their collection.On top of that, the seller had even listed a major flaw and was only ask

"Nope," Jacob chuckled. "We were both working separately and just happened to get back in at the same time."Then, he immediately became smug and excited, "Guess what, dear? I made 200 thousand out of the deal! In net profits!""For real?!" Elaine gaped. "200 thousand in just one night?! That's amazing! How did you do that?"Claire was surprised to hear that too, and she came over to ask, "What deal was it, Dad?"Jacob grinned, "Oh, it's nothing to brag about. It's just that I managed to pick up a nice antique item thanks to my wisdom and then sold it for 200 thousand."Pausing, he then sighed in dismay, "However, the buyer wasn't too rich—I would have squeezed him for 400 thousand, but he couldn't afford more, so I had to settle for less."Elaine quickly exclaimed, "Shit, we're talking about a loss of 200 thousand! People would work a year and still never earn that much…"She trailed off for a moment before asking, "By the way, dear—are we still flying out first thing tomorrow?

Jacob laughed. "Put that issue behind us? Sure, but we're not becoming friends. Hell, I can't even hold a grudge now that you're shit out of luck."Then, his tone changed sharply and suddenly became icy, "But you see, Aurous Hill is not a place you can stay just because you want to. No… After this, you're not going to be able to make a living in the antique trade.""If I were you, I'd be running a thousand miles away, far away from Aurous Hill where no one would know my face to start over. That way, you just might be able to make a living."Raymond simply kept smiling, "You need not be concerned about how I'm going to survive here, Mr. Wilson. I'd be very grateful if you'd cease any form of harassment once you leave my premises."Jacob pursed his lips, staring at Raymond in disappointment. "I'm plenty magnanimous, so I won't stoop to such pettiness. Just do whatever you like!"Clicking his tongue, he huffed, "Tut, tut… And here I'd thought you're tough, but you're just yet another

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
