Helen wanted to stay in Aurous Hill for a while.It was not only because she missed Curtis, but it was also because she truly liked the warm and humid ancient city by the riverside.Also, she was still thinking about that old mansion that Curtis used to live in.She wanted to continue staying in Aurous Hill so that she could buy that old mansion. After that, she would renovate it nicely again.If there was nothing special in the future, Helen was even willing to settle down in Aurous Hill.Helen had gotten married to Sheldon because she had already lost all of her confidence and expectation in love and relationships after seeing the man that she loved so deeply getting married to another woman.However, even after getting married to Sheldon, Helen only felt family affection for him and not love.As soon as Sheldon’s betrayal of their marriage had come to light, Helen’s family affection for Sheldon had also disappeared instantly.Therefore, even though she had not officially div

As he spoke, Jaime said again, “Oh! I will not be leaving Aurous Hill for the time being anyway. Miss Golding’s concert is about to begin. I want to continue staying in Aurous Hill to make the preparations for the concert, and I will only go back to Eastcliff after the concert is over.”Sophie never expected that her brother would be so talented at adding to her misfortune and striking her when she was already down.She glared at Jaime before she told Helen, “Mom, I did not bring enough clothes with me this time. Furthermore, I do not have all the daily necessities that I usually use here with me. It would be fine if I were to continue staying in Aurous Hill for three to five days. However, it will be very troublesome for me if I were to stay here for a long time…”Helen replied indifferently, “Oh, that is very simple. The maids at home are also very free now. I will ask them to pack all of your personal belongings for you and bring them here together with them, then.”As she spoke

While Sophie was temporarily hiding her inner impulse as she decided to stay in Aurous Hill, Wendy was still feeling very anxious and nervous as she got busy in Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation.At this time, it was already dusk, and Wendy had officially taken over Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation in the afternoon.In order not to disappoint Charlie, Wendy immediately spent the entire afternoon carefully counting all of the accounts of Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation ever since its establishment.She listed down all of the hostesses who had been cheated by Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation first before evaluating their losses based on the records of their participation in various events and activities. After that, she calculated the total amount of compensation that should be paid out to these people.Immediately afterward, Wendy contacted all of the hostesses who had worked together with her as well as the hostesses who used to work for the company to retur

When Wendy saw that everyone had already received the message, Wendy continued speaking, “The reason why I called everyone back here today is because there are a few things that I want to announce to you.”“The first thing is that Hebron Lawry and Xavia Carter have already paid back a portion of the money that they have cheated out of everyone for so long!”As soon as Wendy said this, there was an uproar at the scene!One of the girls blurted out, “What?! Hebron and Xavia have already paid back the money? Is that for real? How could these two exploiters possibly repay the money? How is that possible?”Wendy replied seriously, “This is indeed true. My brother-in-law has already sent the both of them off to start working in a karaoke bar to earn money to atone for their wickedness. Xavia will be working as a bar girl, and Hebron will be working on the premises. Both of them will be working at Chief Jay’s establishment. I believe that both of them will already start working tonight. Y

Wendy could not help but feel a little embarrassed as she was surrounded by the thunderous applause and cheers. Wendy settled down a little before she continued speaking, “The third thing is that Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation will continue operating under a brand-new model. The operation idea works like this…”There were nearly three hundred girls in the audience, and all of them were looking forward to her next content at this moment.Wendy continued in a serious tone, “First of all, Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation will continue providing etiquette services for major enterprises, institutions, and individual establishments in Aurous Hill, just like before. We are all girls, and all of us have almost similar experiences. So, all of us could be considered sisters. If my fellow sisters would like to continue working in this industry, I hope that you will choose to continue working together with Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation.”“Secondly, I solemnly promise all

“In that case, when we start working, some employees might not be able to enjoy the free shuttle service…”“Our shuttle service will give priority to providing services to the employees who are further away or have to work earlier or later first.”“However, I promise my sisters that after the company makes more money in the future, we will definitely continue purchasing and providing more transportation!”“Ultimately, we will be able to set up our own fleet. We will be able to ensure that each and every one of our sisters will be able to get picked up and sent to the venue of the event no matter whether it is cold, hot, windy, or rainy!”When she said this, Wendy was greeted by thunderous applause again!Many girls already had flushed red eyes out of excitement!The reason why they chose to become a hostess was because they did not have any other skills or qualifications in the first place.Furthermore, they did not come from a very good family background and condition.They wo

Wendy had successfully taken the first step to take over Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation with the support of all of the hostesses.Wendy continued getting busy at the company until very late at night before she reluctantly caught the last bus as she dragged her exhausted body back to the villa at Thompson First.Ever since Wendy had started working, the Wilson family had rarely had to go hungry. They finally had some rice at home. She could not afford to feed Lady Wilson and the useless Christopher and Harold any meat or vegetable, but they could at least steam a pot of white rice to eat and satisfy their hunger when they were hungry.When Wendy returned home, Lady Wilson had just finished serving both Christopher and Harold. She had made half a bowl of rice with boiling water for herself, and she sprinkled some salt into it before she started eating it alone.When she saw that Wendy was home, she could not help but complain a little. “Wendy, why did you come home so late to

Harold burst into tears. “Grandma, I can finally eat some meat every day…”“Yes…” Lady Wilson sighed before she said, “After you and your dad recover, the both of you should look for a job too. I do not dare to expect that the both of you will be making a lot of money, but if the both of you can earn five to six thousand dollars a month, that would be more than enough. When the time comes, our family will have an income of fifteen to sixteen thousand dollars a month. When that happens, we will have already gone through our toughest ordeal!”Wendy could not help but felt a little melancholic when she heard this.She thought to herself, ‘The Wilson family in the past were not extremely wealthy, but we had tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in assets back then…’‘At that time, our family would spend at least tens of thousands of dollars or even more in a month just on food alone.’‘However, none of us were satisfied at all at that time. We always felt that life

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

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
