Charlie was totally clueless. He could only imitate the elders around him and protest. As they were chanting, he asked the uncle beside him to understand what was going on.It turned out that this Axel Insurance company was offering some insurance packages with extremely high returns. This group of elders had been attracted by the high returns that they became the company’s clients by buying a lot of insurance products under the name of the company.According to their agreement, today was supposed to be the day they received their dividends, but when these people came to claim their money, they found out that the door was locked tight and only a few employees were left at the door to block them using lame excuses.Eventually, they realized that they were victims of a fraudulent investing scam.No wonder Elaine had urged him to come and help her to protest.Charlie massaged his forehead in agitation. He asked Elaine, “Mom, how much did you buy?”Elaine said frantically, “They said

The call was answered quickly.Elaine hurriedly said, “Hello, is it, Kevin? Hi, I’m Claire’s mother…”Ever since meeting Claire at the banquet, her beauty knocked him off his feet. He couldn’t get her out of his mind.He was frustrated as to how he was supposed to approach Claire when coincidentally, her mother called him. He figured that Elaine must be in some kind of trouble and of course, he would not miss the chance to woo her.Thus, he put up a sincere tone and said, “Auntie, are you in any trouble?”“Well, there is something I need you to help me with,” Elaine hurriedly said, “Kevin, some old friends and I have bought some participating policies from an insurance company called Axel and we literally used all our money to buy it. However, the company isn’t paying us our dividends now and they don’t even want to return us our money! Could you find a way to help me get the money back, please?”Kevin was delighted upon hearing it, figuring that it was time for him to perform. H

“Yes! If my daughter can marry him, I can die in peace!”“Phew, stop dreaming! Even if you are dead, he will not like your daughter!”As soon as Elaine saw him, she rushed to his side and said earnestly, “Hey, Kevin, you’re here finally! I was so anxious waiting for you!”Indeed, it was Kevin.Kevin said with a smile, “Auntie, I’m very sorry to have kept you waiting!”“Oh no, Kevin, you’re too kind. I think it had taken you only ten minutes to get here, you came so fast!”“As soon as I heard that you’re in trouble, I drove over quickly. I even ran some red lights on the way here.”Elaine looked very smug, but asked with concern, “Will it get you into trouble for running the red lights?”“No,” Kevin said indifferently, “The guys in the traffic department are all my acquaintances. A phone call is all I need to settle the traffic tickets.”Kevin cleared his throat and started again, “Anyway, back to your business. How much have you been scammed out of in total?”Elaine sighed de

Just as Elaine was extremely thrilled, Kevin announced loudly, “Uncles and aunties, relax, I’ll go speak to them now. Please wait for my good news!”Elaine felt that with Kevin’s presence here, they were the most invincible of them all, so she blurted excitedly, “Kevin, I’ll go with you!”Charlie quickly interjected, “Mom, I think you’d better stay away from it. If Kevin can’t solve the problem, you might get into trouble!”“Bah!” Elaine growled angrily. “How dare you doubt Kevin’s abilities, you loser?!”The other seniors expected that Kevin could help them get back their money. Now that Charlie was singing a different tune, they were irked and irritated by him.Facing the resentful glare and murmur, Charlie said flatly, “Mom, it’s better for you to wait here. It’s best to be a bystander.”Elaine found his voice disgusting and she immediately cursed, “Shut your stinky mouth! This is not a place for you to speak!”Pompousness and arrogance were written all over Kevin’s face. He

Meanwhile, in Axel Insurance’s chairman’s office, the owner, Axel Jordan, was serving a man in his forties in a respectable manner.His face was radiant with a wide smile. He retrieved a bank card from the drawer and handed it to the man with respect and said, “Don Albert, there are thirty million dollars in this card and the pin number is your birthday. This is the bonus for you, please check.”The middle-aged man was dressed in a smart suit. His face was quite rough and haggard but his predator-like eyes were as sharp as a lion.If there were other people present, they would definitely recognize the man immediately.He was Don Albert Rhodes!Everyone in Aurous Hill knew that Albert was the mafia boss of the underworld and no one dared to mess with him!Albert looked at Axel and said with a satisfied smile, “Axie, not bad. You’re pretty tactful, I’m impressed!”Axel said in an anxious tone, “Don Albert, what do we do about the old folks who are protesting out there?”Albert sa

At this moment, Kevin was standing in front of Axel Insurance’s main door with a proud face.He knew that today was the best opportunity for him to show off himself in front of Claire’s mother. He must seize the moment to prove his worth!If he could win her mother’s heart, she would be his in no time!When the time came, he could finally be with Claire Wilson, the most beautiful woman in Aurous Hill. He was in jitters as he thought of it!Hence, he announced in a loud voice, “Uncles and aunties, don’t worry. The boss will refund everyone!”Everyone cheered with joy and excitement upon hearing his statement, wide smiles were plastered on their faces.Everyone but Charlie, who looked at Kevin with a sneer. That dude was too full of himself right now, he wouldn’t even know how he would end up being later.Just when Kevin held his chin high and enjoyed the cheers, someone suddenly pushed open Axel Insurance’s door from the inside.Later, Axel and a middle-aged man in a smart suit

Just as Kevin finished his so-called intimidating threat, a studly man behind Don Albert abruptly stepped forward, grabbed Kevin by his hair, and slapped him multiple times on his face!“God d*mn it! How dare you raise your voice at Don Albert! Do you wish to die?!”Then, he grabbed Elaine and slapped her across the face, and shouted, “D*mn you old coot, how dare you to insult Don Albert! I’ll tear that stinky mouth off your face!”Boom!It felt as if Kevin and Elaine were struck by lightning!What?The man in a suit in front of them was the fearsome Don Albert of Aurous Hill?Yet they had ridiculed him ignorantly just now…Soon, blood drained their face, looking as pale as two sheets of paper. Cold sweat covered their forehead and their bodies shook uncontrollably in fear.Kevin was quick to react. He threw himself on the floor, knelt in front of Don Albert, and cried as he pleaded, “Don, I’m sorry, it’s my bad! Sorry for not recognizing you, sorry for insulting you! I have n

Elaine crouched on the floor, her body trembling violently. She closed her eyes tightly, waiting to be slapped by the muscular man, but the slap never came as she had expected.She opened her eyes in confusion and was shocked!Charlie, her good-for-nothing son-in-law, came out and held the man’s wrist!This…She felt that her mind had gone kaput for the moment—she couldn’t process the thing that was happening right now. Why was the useless Charlie so brave out of sudden?Don Albert couldn’t believe either that there’s someone dared to stand up for the d*mn old lady at a moment like this. He growled coldly, “Who are you? Do you have a death wish?”Charlie smiled faintly. “You are Don Albert, aren’t you? You can beat the h*ll out of that b*stard, but do me a favor and don’t touch my mother-in-law!”A layer of dark gloom shaded Albert’s face. “This old fart is your mother-in-law? Who do you think you are for me to do you a favor?”Albert began to huff in wrath when he said it.He

At this point, Don Albert could very well be Jacob's personal messiah.Even if he did threaten Zachary with calling Charlie persistently, he actually wouldn't dare call Charlie.After all, how would he start explaining that he was involved in a crime? And telling Charlie was basically telling his daughter—what would they think of him after this? Would he ever be able to hold his head high in the family again?As such, his only option now was to ask Don Albert and see if he would help.What he didn't know was that Don Albert was with Charlie, who had already anticipated Jacob's move.When Jacob realized he couldn't stop Zachary, Jacob would find someone who could, and Don Albert was the best man for the job!To no surprise, Don Albert's phone soon started ringing with a call from Jacob.Don Albert didn't answer right away, however, instead turning toward Charlie as he asked gingerly, "So, shall I stick to your script, Master Wade?"Seeing Charlie nod, he pressed on, "Should I

As soon as Jacob sent the voice message, Mr. Bay called.Jacob quickly answered, asking nervously, "How are things over there, Mr. Bay?""How, you ask…?" Mr. Bay sighed in exasperation. "The entire Calligraphy and Painting Association was demanding your dismissal as soon as Zachary Evans posted his statement, thinking that you have no business being the administrative vice president let alone have a place in the association."Even those officials came asking me questions, and you know how they are—gossipers, every last one of them, always finding out about the juicy stuff instantly even if it's really no big deal. The only excuse I have to stop them is that we don't have the facts, but this issue still needs to be taken care of."So, be straight with me. Were you a part of this? If you don't, do you have any definitive evidence that can refute Zachary's claims?""I… Uh…" Jacob stammered, unable to answer.He certainly wanted to say no, but he had no evidence to back himself up.

Jacob bellowed furiously, "Raymond Cole made over 19 million dollars! From my bronze sculpture! Yet you're telling me to refund that 300 thousand too?! You're just fucking with me, aren't you?!""Well, if you don't like it, just do what you like, then," Zachary replied calmly and quickly hung up before Jacob could answer.Jacob was left twitching and shaking endlessly, and there was no telling if it was from rage or fear.Beside him, Elaine quickly asked, "What did Zachary say, dear? Can he get that bronze sculpture back?"Caught by surprise at her question, Jacob flinched, and his phone slipped out of his grasp.As it seemed to hover in the air, he tried to catch it twice but failed, but Elaine managed to grab it.It was then that she noticed that he was sweating all over his face, and she promptly asked, "What's wrong, dear?"Coming to his senses, Jacob's eyes went wide with rage. "Zachary is trying to kill me! He leaked the whole thing to his Twitter page—it's like he's pulli

Jacob turned his phone's loudspeaker on before switching panels to Twitter.He was already shocked to find dozens of people directly messaging him, and he was naturally curious why so many of them were looking for him while he was on his trip to Dubai.However, he had no time to find out as he promptly tapped on his social feed, and it took much swiping to reach Zachary's apology post.He tapped on it, scanning through it just before he went dizzy, the world spinning around him while a dull hum rang in his ears.Never would he have expected Zachary to spill the beans, leaking every detail including Jacob's name and contact information. What was that if not mutual destruction?!Absolutely furious, he bellowed at Zachary again, "What the fuck is this?! Are you trying to kill me, posting this shit?!""I'm sorry, Mr. Wilson, but I've come to understand how grave of a mistake I've made," Zachary calmly replied. "I've actually visited Treasure Measure earlier to apologize to Mr. Cole

Within hours, Jacob and Elaine's flight had landed at Dubai International Airport, and the first thing he did was turn off his phone's flight mode.Then, staring at the upper right corner, he waited for the phone to find a network signal.He had connected to international data roaming, and within a few dozen seconds, he was connected to the internet.Once he did, a ton of notifications popped up on his phone, but he didn't care to check any of them and instead opened his contacts and called Zachary.Zachary was in his office, ready to do his usual rounds inspecting Don Albert's premises.While he had indeed completely lost his reputation at Aurous Hill's Antique Street after pinning that post on top of his social page and was given plenty of weird looks by people around him, he didn't care because he knew how to prioritize.Right now, the most important thing that he had to do was put all his body and spirit into his work and not get distracted by anything else.Only then could

The man who had called out to him shrugged. "Zachary posted it on his account. Check it out yourself!"Mick promptly tapped out of his message editor, refreshed his social feed, and immediately saw Zachary's apology post.Once he tapped on it and read it, he almost had a stroke and was cursing before he knew it, "Fuck technology! It's like a self-exploding truck! Fuck you, Zachary Evans, blowing yourself up before I could end you! What a bitch!" Naturally, the post also made Jacob infamous.The Calligraphy and Painting Association more or less had a stake in the antique trade, and the members were shocked that Jacob was involved in such a scandal.Within minutes, word reached Mr. Bay, leaving him pacing around in his office anxiously.Mr. Bay was eager to suck up to Jacob too, which was why he had intended to let Jacob inherit his position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association after he was promoted.But while he thought it was as good as done, he didn't expec

With that in mind, Raymond quickly understood what had happened—Charlie must have been informed of the entire story and was intent on teaching Zachary, Mick Crane, and Jacob a lesson.Hence, he smiled at Zachary, "You really didn't have to apologize about that. I should be thanking you gentlemen since business isn't exactly booming in Antique Street, and I couldn't ask for more, opening up with such a grand deal."Zachary felt like he had been slapped in the face, but he was also relieved that Raymond wasn't pressing the issue, so he said earnestly, "Don't worry, Mr. Cole—I won't ever meddle with your business or conspire against you again. However, I won't hesitate to answer if you ever call on me!"Also, you have nothing to worry about—we will return the full amount of the 300 thousand we got from you. Please forgive us and don't charge us with anything else…"Raymond pulled him to his feet, smiling as he said, "After a conflict comes friendship. Do drop by more often if you have

At the moment, Treasure Measure was congested as crowds of people were there to congratulate Raymond on his new business or ask for appraisals of their items.Zachary stood at the door, hesitating for a moment before steeling himself and entering.Many in Aurous Hill's Antique Streett knew him and also knew that he wasn't the man he was before, so many greeted him the instant he entered, each person more respectful the next.Zachary was left sweating, only realizing then that he had really messed up and didn't deserve the privilege that Master Wade and Don Albert had given him.His eyes fixed on Raymond, and he went over, feeling very embarrassed.Seeing him, Raymond presumed that he was going to do it himself after his men had failed to recover the bronze sculpture, and he asked warily, "To what do I owe the pleasure, Zachary?"Zachary suddenly dropped to one knee, exclaiming in regret, "Mr. Cole, I'm sorry!"Raymond was frowning as he thought Zachary was up to more tricks, but

Mick was utterly hopeful as he watched the Moore Group human resource manager return, believing that he had turned things around.However, as soon as the human resource manager sat down, he immediately said, "Apologies, Mr. Crane. It seems that it's not just the significant losses you've incurred for the company—you are now also found guilty of personal misconduct, specifically unethical business stratagems. As per the company's wishes, your labor contract is terminated immediately."Mick certainly didn't think that telling the truth had failed to resolve the significant losses part, and he was now slapped with personal misconduct on top of that.Bracing himself, he asked the human resource manager, "But what did Ms. Moore say? She's close friends with Don Albert, and everyone involved in this are friends, anyway…"The human resource manager shook his head and said coolly, "Save your breath, Mr. Crane. The issue has been decided without grounds for further discussion. The notice of
