Cadfan sighed, and he said guiltily, “I’ve been unable to eat and sleep over the past two days because I’m not only filled with guilt toward both you and your mother, but I’ve also been thinking about how I can compensate the two of you. It just so happens that Arrington and I were talking about Maldives today, and I suddenly thought of giving the island that the Schulz family had reserved in Maldives to you. That way, both you and your mother can go over there to rest and relax.”Although the island in Maldives was very expensive, it was not very valuable. For instance, the island that the Schulz family had developed had simply cost tens of millions of dollars for them to purchase the rights to use the island for a hundred years. However, what was truly expensive was the cost of development and construction on the island.An island not only required a complete set of architectural solutions, but it also had to be accompanied by a large number of luxurious decorations. It also had to

When Sophie heard this, she could not help but raise her head to look at Charlie.She realized that Charlie seemed to have been very cautious and perceptive in estimating all of her grandfather’s schemes. Charlie had said that her grandfather would most certainly come and beg for her help, and unexpectedly, her grandfather was indeed acting just as Charlie had predicted.However, Sophie did not know exactly how her grandfather had made Charlie angry, nor did she know that her grandfather had sent a master in witchcraft to come to Aurous Hill to try and assassinate Charlie.So, Sophie did not immediately agree to his request. Instead, she spoke up and asked, “Grandpa, you said that there are some misunderstandings between you and my benefactor. Can you tell me exactly what the misunderstanding is first? Even if I were to agree to your request, I’ll only be able to find an entry point to communicate with my benefactor after understanding the situation clearly.”Cadfan hesitated for a

Thereafter, having achieved his goal, he did not continue dwelling on this issue, and he changed the subject directly, “By the way, Sophie, how did your discussion with Mr. Ito Yahiko go? This guy has always wanted to collaborate with us and break out of Asia to go global. However, it seems as though he does not look up to us anymore ever since the incident in Tokyo.”“Yes.” Sophie said, “It seems as though there has been a change in Mr. Ito’s attitude. However, I can understand his reasoning. Our discussion is currently going very well. After all, things are no longer the same as how they used to be in the past. I’ve also lowered my stance, and I intend to use the entire ocean shipping group to form a new company together with the Ito family. At that time, the Ito family will own 51% of the shares, and I’ll own 49% of the shares. That way, I’ll transfer the fixed assets over to the new company before nullifying the Schulz Ocean Shipping Group. I should be able to bypass the previous

After hanging up the phone, although Cadfan felt much more relieved, he had a very ugly expression on his face.He was simply being polite when he had offered the island in Maldives to Sophie, but he never expected that Sophie would accept his offer directly. Moreover, it seemed as though she could not wait to get the property rights transferred. This made him feel even more distressed.This was supposed to be the place that he had prepared for his retirement. It was of extreme significance to him, and it was no lesser compared to a heavy coffin that an ancient old person would have prepared for himself in advance.The cost of the coffin that the ancient people were referring to was to prepare an expensive and heavy coffin for themselves in advance. Many elderly people viewed this coffin to be even more important than their own lives because they would have to be sleeping inside the coffin eternally after their deaths. So, why would they possibly be willing to give it up unless it w

Isaac smiled and said, “Perhaps she wants to give you a surprise.”Charlie waved his hand. “If she truly wanted to give me a surprise, she would not have arranged for Shangri-La hotel to be her accommodation, then.”As he spoke, Charlie took out his cell phone and said, “I’ll give her a call now.”Isaac was very witty, and he quickly withdrew from the office. As for Charlie, his call to Quinn was also connected.When Quinn answered the call, she was overjoyed as she said, “Brother Charlie! Why are you calling me at this time?”Charlie laughed and said, “Is there a problem with me calling at this time?”Quinn laughed happily as she said, “Of course there is no problem at all. I’m just a little surprised to receive your call. You do not usually take the initiative to call me.”Charlie hurriedly said, “It’s because I heard Mr. Cameron saying that your team will already be coming over here tomorrow. What about you, then? Will you also be coming tomorrow?”Quinn explained, “I’ll not

Charlie did not expect that Yule and Rachel would also be coming to Aurous Hill.After he heard these words, he hurriedly asked, “Have Uncle Golding and Aunt Golding already arranged their itinerary? Do you want me to arrange for their accommodation in advance?”Quinn smiled as she said, “I reckon my parents will only be able to go over to Aurous Hill on the day of the concert. Moreover, they have a lot of things to do back in Eastcliff. So, they will be only be going over to participate in the concert before directly taking a flight back home at night.”As she spoke, Quinn said again, “In truth, my parents are not really there to see my concert. After all, my next concert will be held in Eastcliff. Their main reason is to mainly meet you and also celebrate your birthday.”When Charlie heard that Yule and Rachel were coming to celebrate his birthday for him, he could not help but feel very touched. At the same time, he also felt a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly said, “Nana, a

Quinn smiled as she asked, “Why are you inquiring so clearly? Are you going to come and pick me up at the airport?”Charlie replied, “I can pick you up if time permits.”“That’s great!” Quinn hurriedly said, “You can tell me what time you’ll be free on the day after tomorrow. I’ll just fly there at the time when you’re free, then! I’ll be taking my family’s private plane anyway, so I will be able to leave at any time.”As she spoke, Quinn hurriedly added, “Oh, by the way, Brother Charlie, I’ll have to rush to the venue for the rehearsal at two o’clock in the afternoon. So, I’ll have to arrive at Aurous Hill at the latest at twelve o’clock. Would you have time in the morning?”Charlie thought for a moment and said, “I have to send your sister-in-law to her company at eight o’clock in the morning. Any other time should be fine with me.”Quinn muttered, “I do not recognize her as my sister-in-law! Aside from myself, I’ll never accept anyone else as my sister-in-law! I’ll be my own si

Meanwhile, Sophie had already left Shangri-La, and she had arrived at the old mansion that her mother had bought at the auction.Helen had already contacted a local renovation company, and she was already planning to renovate the old mansion. She was also looking forward to moving into the old mansion as soon as possible after the renovation had been completed. Thus, she had been extremely concerned over this matter.When Sophie arrived at the entrance of the old mansion, Helen was in the courtyard, and she was in high spirits as she talked to the designer about her renovation plans.Sophie was overjoyed when she saw the happy look on her mother’s face through the fence gate.She knew that her mother was indeed going to live for herself from now on.It was not just her mother.Sophie felt that she was also going to live for herself from now on. She would no longer be restrained by the Schulz family, and she would strive to live the way she wanted to. Helen was explaining the di

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
