Helen immediately stopped her. "Sophie! Don't talk nonsense! How do you know that Master Lennard's calculations are not accurate?! If you had listened to him and gone back to Eastcliff, you wouldn't have encountered such a big problem in the first place." Sophie was not convinced, and she said offhandedly, "Then, if I had gone back, wouldn't your safety have been compromised, Mom? If I was not here, my benefactor would not have appeared, then you would be in a bad spot..." Helen sighed and said, "Hey, this is the world's karma. Master Lennard at that time also only calculated the connection between you and him. He did not calculate that I would be related to this benefactor of yours through you, and he did not calculate that I would also be saved by your benefactor..."Speaking of this, she could not help but utter, "This benefactor is truly very valuable to our family… I wonder if I can find him and thank him in person ..." Sophie came back to her senses and said with u

Sophie did not expect that not only did her benefactor not show his face, he even refused to allow her to communicate with the outside world. She suddenly felt rather disappointed. She asked tentatively, “Will you let me report my safety to my family? My grandfather must be very worried about the safety of my mother and I. We would just like to inform him that we are both safe…” The woman shook her head and said seriously, “Sorry Ms. Schulz, our young master’s order was to not contact anyone from the outside, no matter who the other party is.” Although Sophie didn’t understand thoroughly, she nodded her head slightly and thought to herself, ‘Although this arrangement looks as if my benefactor has placed me under house arrest, I believe he must have his reasons, and it must be a good and thoughtful intention.’ Therefore, she said, “I understand, thank you.” The lady immediately said, “You’re welcome, Ms. Schulz. If you and Mrs. Schulz need anything, just inform us. Including w

Sophie couldn’t help but sigh. She felt that what her mom had said was right. The sons of these top families may be mysterious to the outside world, but for the top family members, they knew the sons of these other top families very well. These top-notched family sons, although they were all so-called high-achieving students who had returned from their studies abroad, Sophie knew very well that they were just glamourous rubbish. It was just for show, and they were actually not what they seemed to be. To put it nicely, they were like an embroidered pillow filled with straws, where beauty was only skin-deep. To put it frankly, it was just gold-coated trash. Although these young masters could speak proper English as well as understand the pattern of the global economy and development, when asked to perform hands-on work, they would immediately turn to the papers, completely unprepared. In the past, there was a well-known son who was known as a business wizard. He was able to

Sophie’s assumption suddenly popped up, and Helen immediately had a sudden realization.She nodded in agreement and said, “Since this benefactor wants to settle us in properly and even strictly hide the secret that we are alive, he would definitely not just casually put us into some random hotel…”“Besides, he has placed so many people at the door, so it is very likely that this hotel is his property, just like you’ve said.”“Even if he’s not the owner, he should at least have a deep-rooted relationship with this hotel.”Sophie nodded, ran to the desk in the living room of the suite, and opened the drawer.Generally, hotels would put some papers for the guests to write on their desks. The hotel name had to be printed on it.When she saw the words ‘Shangri-La Hotel’ at the header of the letter-sized paper, she couldn’t help exclaiming, “Mother! The hotel we’re in is the Aurous Shangri-La Hotel! If I remember correctly, this hotel is the property of the Wade family, right?”Helen

“No.” Helen said seriously, “If everything is truly a coincidence, it should just happen once, then. For example, if you happened to meet someone who looked very similar to me, that’s normal. After all, I’ve met people who looked a lot like Curtis by coincidence…” “But…” As Helen continued, her tone and expression were dead serious. “However, I’ve unexpectedly met this young man in Aurous Hill. Curtis was killed in Aurous Hill that year, and his son also disappeared in Aurous Hill. So, this is the second time this coincidence is happening.” “Also! I not only met him in Aurous Hill, but I also met him at the gate of Curtis’s former residence! If he has nothing to do with Curtis, why did he appear there?!” Sophie was silent for a moment, nodded, and replied seriously, “Mother, I think your analysis makes sense. The young man you saw at the gate of Curtis Wade’s former house was most likely his son…” Speaking of this, Sophie turned her sentence around and said, “Mother, Curtis’s

When Charlie had settled Sophie and her mother in the Aurous Shangri-La hotel, he did not expect that the hotel would reveal his identity to a certain extent. Last night, after he had posted the video online, he had not paid much attention to this matter. Ultimately, he knew that the video would definitely drag Cadfan Schulz and his entire family into the pits of a national crusade. He had even uploaded the video to a Wade family-owned platform, so there was no worry that the Schulz family would remove the video. After all, to the Wade family, no matter how much money they were willing to pay, they would not be doing any sort of business transaction with the Schulz family. Jeremiah Wade would never miss this great opportunity to humiliate and attack the Schulz family. When he woke up in the morning, Claire was still sound asleep. Charlie gently got out of bed and washed up before making his way down to the first floor where his mother-in-law, Elaine, was already preparing b

Charlie didn’t expect that Elaine would think about Lady Wilson through the actions of Lord Schulz, and this rendered him speechless for a while. At this time, Elaine couldn’t help but sigh and say, “I just feel so sorry for the woman called Helen! I think she must be a kind-hearted and smart woman like me, but God is just so blind. Good women like us always end up with bad mother-in-laws and father-in-laws.” Charlie felt embarrassed listening to what she had to say. Helen was definitely the top celebrity in the circle of noblewomen. No matter in whatever aspect in life, she was anytime stronger than Elaine by tens of thousands of times, but Elaine had shamelessly compared herself to be equal to Helen, and that showed how thick-skinned she was. Nevertheless, Charlie didn’t bother talking to her anymore, and he smiled and said, “Mother, why don’t you resume whatever you’re doing. I will head over to the yard to get some fresh air.” Although Elaine was still filled with righteo

Donald was still sound asleep when he was woken up by the phone call from Isaac. On the phone, Isaac told Donald that Charlie had requested for him to take Sean to Aurous Hill immediately by helicopter. Donald did not dare to delay, thus, he got up quickly and took his son straight to Aurous Hill. At ten o’clock in the morning, Donald’s helicopter approached Isaac’s hotel slowly. During the descent of the helicopter, Donald couldn’t help but think of the scene where he and his son had been directly beaten up and kicked out of the place by Isaac’s people the last time they were here. That had been the most humiliating day of Donald Webb’s life. Not only were Johnny Castro and a lot of Webb family’s masters humiliated and had very humiliating sentences engraved onto their foreheads, but Donald and his son had also been beaten by Isaac. Looking back at that moment, Donald clenched his fist involuntarily. However, he suddenly thought of The Big Eight that was buried at the

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
