Quinn, who was wearing a dreamy blue dress, took the elevator as she slowly rose from the center of the stage. She was holding the microphone as she spoke up, “In the past, I would only sing my own songs in all of my concerts, but today, I’ll be covering two songs from my predecessors in the music industry. These two songs are both dedicated to my prince charming. I hope that he will like them!”After that, the intro ended, and Quinn opened her mouth and sang Jeff Chang’s famous song, .The lyrics of this song were totally in line with her dedication to Charlie for so many years.“Set the dark clouds in the sky aside, as beautiful as blue velvet…”“I’ll go over the mountains for you, but I do not want to see the scenery…”“I miss you and gathered enough courage to spread the message based on the map of love…”“I hope that you haven’t forgotten, I’ll always protect you…”“From now on, there is no need to wander and search…”“Love is just one word; I will onl
At this moment at the scene of the concert site, as soon as Quinn had finished singing , tens of thousands of fans were all immediately seething with excitement as they stood up and kept applauding.Even Claire was overwhelmed by her feelings, and she had the irresistible impulse to stand up. She was not in a hurry to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes because she was so moved, and she clapped her hands so vigorously until her hands were flushed red.After the end of the song, Quinn, who was on the stage, spoke into the microphone, “I’m very sorry. I selfishly put in my own story at the beginning of the concert. I hope that this video will not disturb everyone’s interest in watching the performance!”Countless fans below the stage shouted out slogans such as “No”, “You can do it, Quinn” and “Quinn, you must be happy”.Quinn smiled slightly and said, “Thank you, everyone. Therefore, the next song is dedicated to all of you, my dears!”After that, the
There were several options given below this hot search. There was classical style, modern style, post-modern style, western-country style, dark style, gothic style, and even the abstract style.There was even a famous fan who had a verified fan profile who organized a prize contest to choose ten lucky winners amongst those who had guessed correctly. Each of the winners would be given an album that had been autographed by Quinn. Claire took out her cell phone, and she began browsing through her social media profile for a while. At this time, she could not help but ask Charlie in a low voice, “Husband, what style do you think Quinn Golding will have when she comes back on stage later?”Charlie said awkwardly, “This... How could I possibly guess it?”Claire said, “Aren’t people calling you Master Wade? Since you are good at divination and calculation, can’t you have a rough estimate of what it would be?”Charlie shook his head and said truthfully, “I have absolutely no knowledge on
Quinn’s cover of Wakin Chau’s song, , was an old song that had been released back in 1993.Many of the young fans at the scene had never even heard of this song before.However, this song was in itself a classic, and many famous singers had actually covered this song in their concerts before. This song had rarely made an appearance in the public eye in recent years.Quinn sang this song to perfection. Coupled with her perfectly white wedding dress, it simply fitted the temperament of this song perfectly.Most importantly, everyone knew that the reason why Quinn was singing this song was because she wanted to dedicate this song to the prince charming she had been looking for for years.So, this made the fans at the scene feel even more touched beyond measure.Who would have thought that a goddess, who was in the limelight and had the love and attention of thousands of people, would actually be so infatuated with a prince charming from her childh
He even firmly believed in the depths of his heart that Charlie would definitely marry Quinn as soon as the three-year period was up.By then, his life would be absolutely complete. But he would never have dreamt that the apple of his eyes, his precious daughter, would actually give him a surprise at the concert today. Although his daughter, who had put on a wedding dress to make an appearance up on stage, was not really in a wedding scene at the moment, as a father, Yule felt as though half of his wish had already been realized at this moment when he saw his daughter’s current appearance from below the stage. He was naturally feeling incomparably gratified. In addition, he had almost reached the end of his life before this. So, at this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart.Rachel was also feeling extremely emotional deep in her heart, just like her husband. Her tears were already flowing down her flawless face.When she saw that her husband was also sobbing silently, R
At this moment, Quinn’s cover of on stage had already reached the end. When Quinn finished singing the last note, all of the accompanying instruments at the scene came to an abrupt stop at the same time as her voice.Everyone did not expect that the song would suddenly end as if it had been completely cut off in one swoop. It felt very abrupt, but it also carried an unexpected sense of surprise that was developing into a sense of unfulfillment. What was even more amazing was that just as the sound of the singing and accompanying instruments came to an abrupt end, Quinn, her team of backup dancers, and even her accompaniment team also simultaneously stopped moving at this instant, almost as though they were under a holding technique, and they all remained motionless.The audience below the stage cheered excitedly, and many people shouted out loud as they wanted the prince charming to take the initiative to go up on stage and propose to Quinn.Ho
This was because they knew very well that the performance had already come to an end, and it was time for the audience to be dispersed when the lights were turned on.It was just like how the lights would come on at the end of a movie, to announce the end of the performance.Moreover, Quinn had just used her own handwritten words to say goodbye to everyone. So, there would no longer be any surprises or returns from Quinn in the future.All of the fans sat dumbfounded and frozen in place because they had not recovered and come back to their senses from the words that Quinn had left behind just now.They could not accept the fact that their idol and goddess was suddenly announcing her withdrawal from the entertainment industry without any warning at all!After all, Quinn was not even twenty-five years old yet. She was currently at the ascending period of her career, and if she continued to work hard for a few more years, it would be very likely that Quinn would be able to create the
A long time after Quinn had retired from the scene, there were some fans who came back to their senses and cursed as they took the lead to leave the scene.Many female fans also wiped away their tears as they silently turned to leave.Charlie also heard a pathetic guy behind him cursing as he said, “F*ck! Where the hell did this prince charming pop up from?! He’d better not let me meet him. Otherwise, I will break his legs!”Immediately afterward, someone chimed in, “Brother, count me in! This b*stard actually dared to f*cking steal our wife! He probably does not want to live anymore!”“What is this b*stard actually capable of, anyway?! He could actually make my goddess put on a wedding dress to dedicate a song to him and make her feel the rush to get married to him?! D*mn it! I’m really pissed off!”Charlie only felt chills on his back at this moment. What was a public enemy?This was the people’s f*cking public enemy!Claire, who was aside, was also somewhat disappointed and
With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
