Meanwhile, Sophie was carrying a thick school bag on her back as she returned to the Dunn mansion alone from outside.Earlier, she had already negotiated all the terms and conditions with Arrington, the butler that her grandfather, Cadfan, had sent, and they had already completed the procedures for the transfer of all the shares in Schulz Ocean Shipping Group.The huge mess that was the Schulz Ocean Shipping Group was now Sophie’s.Upon arriving home, everyone kept coming forward to question Sophie as they did not know where she had gone earlier.Sophie simply gave them an excuse that she had gone out to get something done, and she managed to temporarily avoid the topic.Only her elder brother, Jaime, felt that things were anything but reassuring.He vaguely felt that his younger sister, Sophie, should have already reached some kind of agreement with her grandfather.So, he went back to his room and called Cadfan.As soon as the call was connected, he asked impatiently, “Grandp

After he was done speaking, Cadfan then said, “Jaime, you have to help me keep a close eye on Sophie’s every move during this time. You have to investigate clearly to find out where she goes, who she meets with, and what she does. Do you understand?”Jaime hurriedly said, “I got it, Grandpa. Don’t worry!”“Okay.” Cadfan sighed and said, “What I’m most worried about now is not whether she will be able to do this business well or not. What I’m most worried about is whether she will sell all of the ocean shipping business’ fixed assets as soon as the business is transferred over to her… So many ships, so many port resources, and the rights to the canal passage can all be sold for hundreds of billions of dollars. So, you have to pay attention and keep a lookout for the slightest hint of trouble!”The expression on Jaime’s face turned cold in an instant as he said, “Grandpa, I’ll definitely keep an eye on her!”After hanging up the phone, Jaime felt extremely worried and unhappy.‘I’ve

While Charlie and the others were chatting and drinking together at The Heaven Springs, Sophie held a brief press conference on the internet that night.The press conference was held in the form of a full live broadcast through online media. The location that Sophie had chosen to hold her live broadcast in was the vintage study room in the Dunn family’s old mansion.Everyone had originally thought that Sophie would certainly publicly condemn Cadfan during the press conference. However, to everyone’s surprise, Sophie was very calm, and she did not display any sense of aggressiveness whatsoever throughout the press conference. As soon as the press conference began, Sophie stood up as she faced the camera and said, “Hello, everyone. I’m Sophie Schulz, and I’m very thankful for everyone’s concern during this time. The reason why I decided to hold this press conference today is to inform everyone who had been very worried and concerned for my mother and I that both of us have already

Isaac was puzzled, and he asked, “Why didn’t Miss Schulz take advantage of this opportunity to deal a huge blow to Cadfan Schulz? There were a total of tens of millions of people watching her live broadcast on multiple online platforms today. This would have been the perfect opportunity for her to deal a huge blow to Cadfan Schulz. It’s now or never. She would not have this kind of opportunity anymore after today.”Charlie smiled faintly. “You don’t have to be too surprised. She must have her own considerations.”***At this moment, Sophie had already ended her live broadcast. She was sitting motionless in the study room as she thought repeatedly about her subsequent plan.Helen knocked on the room door and spoke up, “Sophie, come out and eat.”Sophie came back to her senses and hurriedly said, “Okay, Mom. I’ll be right there.”As she spoke, Sophie took out a big stack of legal documents from the drawer of her desk and stepped out of the room.Aside from her elder brother, Jaime

Although Jaime was secretly complaining and feeling very spiteful in his heart, he was more or less still a little worried.He was afraid that Sophie’s words would reach his grandfather, Cadfan. What if his grandfather felt that he was the one who had given Sophie this idea? Wouldn’t he be offending his grandfather again, then?!Although Jaime was the eldest grandson of the Schulz family, Cadfan could easily make it so that Jaime would end up having nothing at all in an instant if Jaime were to offend Cadfan. After all, he was different as compared to Sophie. Sophie already had a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars now. If all of this was made public, Sophie might be the richest woman in Oskia.As he thought about this, Jaime could not help but feel that it was even more unbearable.However, Jefferson and the other members of the Dunn family did not doubt Sophie’s words at all.Jefferson even clapped his hands and praised her, “Sophie, you did a very good job! We cannot

“That’s right.” Matilda smiled and said, “It just so happens that I was having dinner together with a few of my colleagues from the Senior University.”At this moment, Yolden, who had his back facing Matilda as he stood next to Charlie, also came to his senses. When he saw the beautifully dressed Matilda, he was pleasantly surprised and said, “Matilda, you’re here too!”Matilda was also surprised, and she smiled as she said, “Oh! Yolden, why are you here too?”After she was done speaking, Matilda pointed at Charlie as she exclaimed, “You… you know Charlie?”Charlie hurriedly took the lead at this time as he smiled and said, “Aunt Hall, a friend of mine happened to be planning to run a new business. So, he invited Professor Hart to come over here for dinner. I did not expect to run into Professor Hart here either.”Yolden knew that Charlie did not want too many people to know or have too much information about his true identity. So, he agreed as he said, “That’s right, Matilda. I w

When Matilda heard Autumn’s words, she nodded in agreement as she laughed and said, “It is indeed very rare to meet someone with similar life experiences. So, of course, we have much more in common.”Matilda meant these words from the bottom of her heart.She had not gone through a very difficult and challenging life, but she had also had her ups and downs.She had gone abroad, immigrated, gotten married, given birth to her child, lost her spouse, and then chosen to return to her home country together with her child.This short sentence represented more than fifty years of her life experiences.Interestingly, Yolden’s experiences were almost identical to hers.Yolden had also decided to return to Oskia after his wife had passed away.Matilda had originally thought that the difference between Yolden and herself was that Yolden had come back to the country alone while his daughter stayed abroad. However, now that she was suddenly meeting Autumn, she realized that Yolden’s child ha

“Of course!” Autumn replied seriously, “I’m not an old feudalist. You’re already old, and you should also have a companion in the future. I’ll definitely give my complete approval if you really manage to pursue Aunt Hall hereafter. So, you do not have to worry about anything and just pursue her. Just let me know if you need my help with anything.”In truth, Autumn was somewhat originally resistant to the thought of her father falling in love again.This was because she had always been very angry with her father because of her mother’s death. She believed that her father had a somewhat unshirkable responsibility for her mother’s death.However, because of her experience in Syria this time, she had become more tolerant and understanding toward her father.The reason why her father had been traveling everywhere and working so hard all these years was because he wanted to give his family a better financial foundation so that they would have a better living environment. He had never had

As Zachary agreed to do a favor for Vintage Deluxe's Mick Crane in passing, he and Jacob agreed to meet up at 7pm at the car park by Antique Street.He first took Jacob back to the Calligraphy and Painting Association and called Billy, one of his boys whom he thought was smarter than the rest, giving him the gist of the plan and telling him to familiarize himself with the script.Then, he took the sculpture back to Heaven Springs and met up with Billy in office, telling Billy what to do in finer detail and making sure he committed everything to memory.Zachary's strength as a judge of character certainly proved itself—Billy had never done anything like this before, but he took to the plan like fish to water. He committed the script to memory soon enough, and he was flawless.Once he made sure that Billy was fine, Zachary called Mick.As soon as Mick answered, he immediately asked, "Hello, Mr. Evans. How is that thing we talked about going?"Zachary chuckled. All the arrangements

Zachary continued, "Why do you think casinos are always making a profit? It's exactly because no matter how unassuming a guest is the first time, they would be allowed to win a couple of hands, making a little profit.""And suddenly, they would think that they are the chosen one, destined to win against all odds and always come out triumphant! Once such radical, blind confidence hits them, every last bit of his money would be lost to the casino!""At that point, you can get anything from them—their house, their wife, their children… hell, they'd be willing to die if you'd just let them gamble again!"Turning toward Jacob with a grin, Zachary then asked, "So, with all the points I made and that sculpture you're holding… Do you still think Raymond wouldn't fall for it?"Jacob laughed out loud. "Oh, talk about a plan within a plan! No one would ever see it coming! Raymond Cole is so screwed!"Zachary smiled and nodded. "That's why there's no reason to rush—I'll arrange a man to get r

As soon as they drove out of the village, Jacob asked Zachary eagerly, "So, when do you think we should make our move? I can't wait!"Zachary didn't hesitate, "Let's do it today. It's better than waiting! I'll get someone reliable to bring this to Treasure Measure and get him interested. I'm sure that since he has just returned to Antique Street, he'll need a hot deal to generate hype and make himself known. That's why I'm sure he'll take this sculpture."Jacob nodded repeatedly as he chuckled. "I think so too. Today is definitely best since I'll be going to Dubai soon and probably leaving once I'm done with this. Once you get this settled by the end of today, I'll get tickets for the flight tomorrow!"Zachary grinned. "Don't worry, chief. We will definitely get it settled today…"He trailed off for a moment before continuing, "Still, you should be a little patient. We should do this in the evening—at the second just before Raymond Cole closes shop.""But why?" Jacob asked in curi

Jacob was naturally gleeful that he could get the late medieval bronze sculpture along with its base. Right after he wired the agreed upon ninety-eight grand to Mr. Cardensky, he was already imagining how Raymond would buy it from him for several hundred grand.On the other hand, once Mr. Cardensky received the transfer, he saw the name on the account: Jacob Wilson.He was left perplexed—wasn't that man's last name Montague? Who was this Jacob Wilson?Still, he didn't worry about it too much since most antique hustlers preferred to work with anonymity and therefore, using a different name was perfectly normal.He then carefully wrapped up the bronze sculpture before passing it Jacob, asking politely, "Would you happen to have any other requests, Mr. Montague? I have plenty of other items here if you'd permit me to give an introduction."Jacob shook his head, "Just this sculpture will do. I'm not fully confident in your work either since this is our first deal, so I'm just trying i

Jacob asked, "Then, what would this sculpture be worth if it was genuine?"Mr. Cardensky thought about it. "Well, there are standards when it comes to Renaissance relics, but with something this exquisite, it'd definitely be auctionable for one or two million—and that's the conservative estimate.""How much would you sell it to me for?" Jacob then asked."Thirty percent of the market price," Mr. Cardensky quickly replied. "As I've said, the conservative estimate for this one is around one to two million, so we will set the price with the median estimate value at 1.5 million. And thirty percent means 450 grand."Jacob shook his head right away. "No, no, no… that's too expensive. What if I end up unable to sell it, on top of that?"In his mind, while he could barely accept that pricing, he still needed Raymond to be able to afford it if he wanted to swindle Raymond for twice the money.Mr. Cardensky quickly chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Montague—now you're being too serious. In this business,

"Okay!"Mr. Cardensky smiled and pointed at a nearby farmyard. "There's our workshop—the good stuff is all in there. Allow me to take you there!"The farmyard seemed uninteresting at first glance, but Mr. Cardensky soon led them to the stables and brushed off the straws covering the floor, revealing a plank laid flat on the ground.Mr. Cardensky then lifted it, revealing a passage below—they had dug a cellar into the ground beneath, with the stables as an entry point.As Jacob followed Mr. Cardensky down the cellar, he exclaimed in awe, "Your operation is definitely big, digging such a huge cellar!"Mr. Cardensky smiled humbly. "Anyone working in the business would have sustained their losses before. In the end, we're all folk of humble origins, starting out with raiding tombs or excavating artifacts. Just digging a cellar is really nothing."As they conversed, they cleared the stairs and arrived at the main hall.It was certainly a hall as it was around a hundred square meters,

Zachary nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Montague? Very well!""Yes!" Jacob grinned smugly. "Longer last names are simply better—it just sounds so authoritative."With that agreed upon, both men alighted, where the master was waiting nearby.Seeing them get off, he hurried over to them, smiling, "Please, follow me."Zachary looked around and huffed, "Honestly, Mr. Cardensky, isn't this way too far from the highway? The road is narrow and terrible, and I have to park my car all the way out here. Just coming here is taxing."Mr. Cardensky smiled in turn. "My friend, that's exactly why we picked this place. Do you remember seeing a couple of cars parked by the road, occupying half of it?""We arranged for them to be there. Anyone coming by car would have to slow down that way, buying time for us to see who they truly are. If it's cops, our watchers would quietly text us while we clean the house and bail."Zachary exclaimed in realization, "You boys really run a tight ship!""For sure," Mr.

After working in Antique Street for years, Zachary's connections and influence were naturally special. And yet, though he was acquainted with some of the more impressive individuals, he was not that close with them either.For example, the forgery masters who worked specifically to deceive experts only accepted jobs from major clients, usually antique traders high in social status and wealth.In contrast, they wouldn't ever be interested in frivolous people like Zachary. Even if he could reach them, they might not look at him twice.If one would describe them as the cartel boss, then Zachary would be a low-level enforcer, managing night joints or goofing off.But now, Zachary had turned over a new leaf—he worked under Don Albert, so one of those masters was pleasantly surprised when he called one of them, inviting him to his own workshop for a visit and further discussion.As such, Zachary picked up Jacob and went over to the master's hideout where the latter worked on his count

Zachary was naturally shrewd enough to read Jacob's intention.In reality, he wasn't offering to pay just because he wanted the profit. He merely wanted to get in Jacob's good graces. After all, wouldn't Jacob be even more grateful that he wasn't just helping his revenge but also helping him make money?As such, he didn't hesitate to tell Jacob, "Well, chief—since you'll be paying, I will make sure that you will get every cent of profit that you deserve."Jacob was grinning ear-to-ear, but he said, "Oh, you don't have to! If we really are making a profit, there's no way I would let your good work go unrewarded!"Spreading his arms, he continued generously, "How about this? I will pay the full cost while you get twenty percent of the net profit!"Zachary laughed. "Now, that can wait, chief. We need to pay as soon as we decide on the item we want, and there's no time for buyer's regret. But if Raymond doesn't take the bait, all that money will go down the drain, and whether we can s
