Helen felt a little lost and despondent after leaving Charlie’s parents’ former residence.On one hand, it was because she missed Curtis. On the other hand, it was also because she had seen Charlie just now. She felt that he really looked very similar to Curtis, and this brought back many memories of her youth.After returning to the Dunn family mansion in Aurous Hill, the maid had already prepared a sumptuous lunch.Jaime had also just returned from donating money to the orphanage. When he saw that Helen was already back, he hurriedly asked her, “Mom, where did you go in the morning?”Helen came back to her senses amidst her chaotic thoughts, but she was still a little absent-minded as she said, “Oh, I did not really go anywhere. I simply allowed Uncle Walters to bring me out to look around.”At this moment, a maid walked in and said respectfully, “Miss Helen, lunch is already ready.”Helen nodded before she said to Jaime, “Go and ask your sister to come out for lunch. What is t

Sophie did not even raise her head as she replied, “There is no progress at all. I have not found him from the videos yet.”Helen said seriously, “Some things are entirely dependent on fate. If there is no fate, then no matter how hard you try, it will still be useless. However, if the both of you are fated, even if you are not trying to look for him, he will still appear in front of you.”At this time, Sophie did not hesitate at all as she said, “I do not want to leave everything to fate. That is simply too unreliable. There are so many people in this world. Aside from the neighbors who are right at our doorstep, the probability of two people who have met by chance in a foreign country meeting again coincidentally is close to zero. If I do not take the initiative to look for him, I am afraid that I will not ever be able to find him in this lifetime.”After that, Sophie became a little sad and depressed as she said, “A human’s memory in itself is already not that good. Not many peop

Sophie said, “I want to look for a master to do some calculations and predictions for me so that I can see if he can give me some hints.”Jaime could not help but laugh and say, “Didn’t you say that you do not believe in that?”Sophie seriously replied, “Since there are no other good solutions to this matter, I should just try it out, then.”After that, Sophie asked Helen, “Mom, do you know any famous masters in Eastcliff? Don’t you often go to the temple to worship Buddha and donate some money to the temple there? Do you know of any good monks?”Helen replied seriously, “Don’t talk nonsense! The eminent monks are practicing Buddhism, while fortune-telling is a Taoist matter!”Sophie hurriedly asked, “Then, do you know of any capable Taoist master? I want to beg him to help me take a look at my fate!”Helen thought for a moment before she said, “In fact, I am not too sure about this. It has already been many years since I’ve asked anyone for any divination. I was about the same a

Sophie hurriedly said, “It’s okay. You just have to help me ask him.”After that, she asked, “By the way, Grandpa, do I have to make a trip to the United States if he is willing to help me?”“No need.” Jefferson said, “Old Master Lennard has divine power and abilities. If he agrees to help you, it should be sufficient for me to let him know your birth date and time of birth before I tell him briefly about the matter that you want to ask him about.”Sophie said in amazement, “Is he truly that incredible?”Jefferson laughed and said, “Fortune-telling and divination is supreme wisdom that the ancestors have granted to us. Only a fraction of the modern people nowadays can actually understand this kind of divine and magical abilities.”After that, Jefferson said, “It is already midnight in the United States now. So, it will not be good for me to contact Old Master Lennard at this time. You should just wait patiently first. I will give him a phone call when it is evening here, as it wil

When she heard this, Elaine could not help but exclaim, “Oh my! The designing fee for one square meter costs at least eight hundred to one thousand dollars?! Wouldn’t that be at least fifty to sixty million dollars, then? This is simply too shocking!”Claire smiled as she said, “What is so shocking about it? Some internationally renowned designers charge hundreds of millions of dollars purely for the exterior design of a building!”Elaine touched her chest, and she hurriedly asked her, “My good daughter, are you planning to take on the project, then?”Claire earnestly replied, “Of course I would love to take on the project. However, my studio is not that big at the moment. If I were to take on such a big project, I am afraid that I will not be able to compete with my opponents during the bidding and tender. Furthermore, there is also a lot of preparatory work that has to be done. If I were to tender for the project, I will have to put my heart and soul into it now to prepare for the

However, even though he had said this, Charlie had already made up his mind to tell Doris to secretly hand this project over to Claire.After all, Emgrand Group belonged to him. Since his wife was so interested in this project, he naturally wanted to give her an opportunity to practice her skills.Therefore, he told Claire, “Claire, you don’t have to think too much about it first. Just concentrate on making all the preparations. I believe that you will certainly be able to do it!”“Yes!” Claire nodded firmly before she said, “I will definitely work hard, and I will try to secure this big project!”After having lunch, Claire returned to the company. At this time, Charlie returned to his bedroom to make a phone call to Doris.As soon as the phone call was connected, Doris said, “Young Master, the reason why you are calling me is because of the matter relating to your wife’s tender, right?”Charlie laughed as he said, “You guessed it right.”Doris hurriedly replied, “Young Master,

Aurora was very happy when she heard that Charlie was going to refine some medicine again.She was not happy because she had been wishing for Charlie’s magical pills. Rather, she was happy because her father had asked her to deliver the medicinal herbs and materials over to Charlie. This way, she would finally have the opportunity to see Charlie.During this period of time, Aurora had been spending her winter vacation at home. Aside from her routine training every day, she basically had nothing to do at all at home. Therefore, she had been feeling very bored throughout her vacation.She really wanted to look for an opportunity to see Charlie or even to ask Charlie to guide her and give her some more pointers. However, she had heard that Charlie had been very busy recently. So, she felt embarrassed to come over to look for him because she did not want to be a bother.It just so happened that she would be able to take advantage of this opportunity to see Charlie when she delivered th

“That’s good!” Aurora smiled sweetly before she hurriedly passed the medicine box and the red sandalwood box in her hand over to Charlie. After that, she said, “Master Wade, all the medicinal herbs and materials that you need is inside this medicine box. My dad has already prepared everything for you. There is also a premium purple ginseng that is more than four hundred years old inside this red sandalwood box. My dad said that he obtained it by chance, and he believes that this premium purple ginseng will certainly be of great use to you. Therefore, he asked me to bring it here and give it to you as a gift…”Charlie was a little surprised, and he said, “A premium purple ginseng that is more than four hundred years old?! How did your dad get his hands on such a good item?”Aurora stuck her tongue out and said, “I don’t know about that. He usually has many different channels for receiving his medicinal herbs and materials. Many top medicinal herbs and materials’ farmers and dealers ar

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A

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
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
