Doris felt rather disconsolate upon hearing her mother’s sentiment.Of course, she had somewhat fallen for Charlie too at some point, but unfortunately, she knew that she barely had any chance.The only thing she could do was to work well in Emgrand Group and bring the company to a higher level to repay Charlie’s kindness to her as well as keep her feelings for Charlie hidden deep inside her heart.Heartbroken as she looked at her daughter’s silence, Faith gently took Doris’s hand and said seriously, “My dear, I know I used to always urge you to get married, but I understand now that you can’t force something to happen, so you should work and live your life according to your own desires. I will no longer tell you how to live your life anymore.”Corwin said with a sigh, “Doris, your mother is right! In the past, we’ve always meddled in your problems based on our understandings and perspective, and that was very disrespectful to you, so from now on, you are your own master in your li

At that point, Doris’s greatest wish was that her parents would understand her one day, but never in her wildest dreams did she imagine that her wish would come true today!Thinking of this, Doris was so moved that her eyes became red, and she was almost about to shed a tear.In order not to let her parents see her cry, Doris quickly said, “Mom, Dad, wait for me here. I’ll go settle the discharge procedures and let’s go home!”***As Doris was going through the discharge procedures at the hospital, Isaac and Albert had already captured Edmund and his accomplices to Albert’s dog kennel.Albert’s dog kennel was not only for him to breed dogs for competition, but also for him to deal with a lot of illegitimate businesses, which was why the layout structure of the kennel was very meticulous and careful since the beginning of its construction.First of all, Albert’s dog kennel was built in a relatively remote suburb where the land was sparsely populated. To further eliminate future pr

“Mercury dichloride?!”Blood instantly drained from Edmund’s face when he heard this!He fell to his knees with a loud thud and pleaded to Isaac, tears drenching his face, “I’m sorry! I’m truly sorry! Please, I beg you, please let a doctor come to give me a stomach lavage! It’ll be too late if you don’t hurry…”“Stomach lavage?” Isaac snorted, “Edmund, are you scared now? Why didn’t you consider your victim’s feelings when you harmed them back then? Now that it’s your turn, you’re scared? Do you honestly think you can solve the problem by giving in? Let me tell you, it’s impossible!”Edmund broke down in despair and cried, “Please call Mr. Wade and tell him that I’m sorry! I truly am! I’ll do anything to amend my mistakes as long as he can spare my life!”Isaac huffed in disdain. “Do you think you are qualified to do anything for Mr. Wade?”“Exactly!” Albert clicked his tongue contemptuously and said in a cold voice, “A useless piece of sh*t like you? Hah! You’re not even qualifi

Albert said with a smile, “Kobayashi Jiro, you’re pretty quick to catch up on things lately.”Jiro hurriedly trotted over to Albert, bowed at him respectfully, and exclaimed, “Don Albert! I thank you for your recognition! I’ll definitely continue to work hard!”Albert nodded in satisfaction and said, “Well done, Jiro. Seeing as you’ve been doing well lately, I’ll talk to the cooks later and ask them to give you an extra chicken wing every day from now on!”Jiro quickly begged with a coy smile, “Don Albert, c-can you please ask the cook to give me a drumstick instead? I’ve been working a lot every day, but my food rations are minimal. I’ve been a bit malnourished lately…”Albert sneered at Jiro’s withered appearance. “Jiro, you’re good at bargaining.”Jiro hurriedly explained, “Oh no, Don Albert. I don’t mean to bargain with you, please don’t misunderstand. I just feel that I don’t have enough to eat daily…”Albert laughed and nodded. “Alright, I get it. I’ll tell you what, for th

The mercury dichloride that had been poured into Edmund’s mouth soon took effect, and he could feel the discomfort and pain slowly surging inside him.He knew that this must be because his kidney functions had begun to deteriorate rapidly!It was only at this point that Edmund truly realized what a big problem he had gotten himself into.Previously, he had used to think that with his status, position, and family background, he could run amuck fearlessly in any corner of the world.After all, the vast majority of things in this world seemed too cheap as compared to his ten-billion-dollar family fortune.He had caused a lot of trouble when he was in the United States, but even if he truly killed someone, he could take care of it with a few million dollars at most, and it would not have caused him any trouble nor consequence at all.If he had poisoned Corwin in the United States and the matter had been exposed, he could immediately get a scapegoat to confess to the matter by spendin

The disappearance of Edmund and his entourage did not cause any sensation to Aurous Hill who had a population of nearly 10 million people.Charlie slept like a baby that night. Since Elaine was in charge of breakfast, he was still sound asleep at this moment.Meanwhile, Helen drove alone from the Dunn residence to Curtis’s former house.Ever since she had come to Aurous Hill, she had been dreaming about Curtis every night, especially last night, where she dreamed that she had become Curtis’s wife and that he had taken her away from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill, and they had lived a happy life in the house that was about to be auctioned.It was because of this dream that she couldn’t help but come over to the old courtyard to have another look.Helen parked the car outside the entrance, pushed open the courtyard’s dilapidated iron gate, and stepped inside.At this moment, Curtis’s image occupied her mind so much so she did not even notice that someone was secretly photographing her fr

Another scandalous wave erupted in the entire Eastcliff upper-class society over the weekend.Helen Dunn, the wife of Sheldon Schulz, had gone to Aurous Hill while she was still married to Sheldon!Moreover, she had gone to Aurous Hill because of Curtis Wade, who had died nearly two decades ago!What was even more shocking was that Helen was going to participate in the judicial auction next Monday to bid for the old residence where Curtis had lived back then!Did she do it for old time’s sake and the sentimental worth?Did she truly love Curtis that much? Otherwise, how could her feelings for Curtis still remain steadfast, even so many years after his death?Besides, from the photo, she looked very sorrowful and heartbroken. When the camera zoomed in on her beautiful face, two lines of tears could be seen.From Helen’s behavior, Eastcliff’s upper-class society immediately realized that Helen had been madly in love with Curtis even after she had been married to Sheldon for more

In Cadfan’s opinion, Sheldon was responsible for a vast majority of the humiliation and suffering that the Schulz family was enduring today!Therefore, Sheldon was not only not a qualified family successor, but he was not even a qualified successor of his bloodline and family name!A family successor was the one who would inherit the entire Schulz family and become the patriarch of the family, whereas the successor of the bloodline carried a broader meaning—as long as he carried the blood of the Schulz family, he was part of the family.Now, Cadfan felt that Sheldon was not only unqualified to become the family patriarch, but he was also not qualified to inherit the family’s bloodline!He said in an angry and cold voice, “Steven! Call Sheldon now! Tell him to stop Helen from participating in the auction next Monday by all means! I will never allow that woman to humiliate the Schulz family and make us the laughingstock of Eastcliff and the entire country!”Steven was over the moon

Unable to nitpick on the air stewardess' response, Elaine pouted, "Well, try to ask management to improve on your first-class cabins anyway. Maybe even make a premium-class or something since it's not like we can't afford it."The air stewardess quickly said, "We will definitely relay your message to the management."Nodding in satisfaction, Elaine waved her off. "Alright. You can go back to work now."Clearly relieved, the air stewardess bowed her head respectfully. "Always happy to be of service."After the air stewardess left, Jacob asked Elaine in curiosity, "Was the private jet that good?"Elaine rolled her eyes. "Didn't you see the stuff I posted in the chat group?""Not really," Jacob blurted. Elaine was ready to snap at him for not caring, but considering that they had made up now and she shouldn't fuss too much over the little things, she snorted, "Just remember to like and comment on all my posts in the chat group, otherwise, I will make you regret it!""No problem!"

While the ten collectors were taking turns studying the bronze sculpture, Jacob and Elaine were boarding their flight.As they were flying first-class, they had priority over the other passengers and boarded from the separate plug door at the first-class section.The capacity of the Boeing 777 was huge, and the wide-body aircraft could be connected to a special double corridor bridge where first class and business class passengers boarded separately from the economy class passengers.As the terminals to economy class and business class were connected, Elaine and Jacob were able to get through the first-class terminal unimpeded, but the passengers in economy class had a queue of over two hundred passengers. Even as she walked, Elaine was looking over her shoulder and exclaiming at Jacob, "Must be nice being rich! We used to have to queue like the rest of them, waiting for over thirty minutes just to board our flight." "In first class, we may be in the same plane, but we don't hav

Meanwhile, once Raymond had briefed everyone about the rules, he opened the door and invited everyone into Treasure Measure.It was not that wide but appeared spacious since the interior was mostly empty—it was not really crowded even with thirty-ish people.Then, locking the door from the inside, Raymond told them, "I can tell from everyone's faces that we are all veterans here, so I'm sure you understand the rules while appraising: no photos or videos, thank you very much."Indeed, there were many rules that governed the hobby, the most important being respecting the seller's requests and privacy.As the collectors listened, they knew that Raymond was selling but did not want the public to know too much about him.They all nodded, and those who had their phones out slid them back into their pockets.With that, Raymond took out the bronze sculpture that he had brought, leaving Trippy a little surprised.He had never seen the bronze sculpture with his own eyes before, only from

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma
