On the contrary, Elaine blamed herself for what had happened to Jason. She felt that he shouldn’t have received such a harsh treatment since he meant well in the first place.So, when she received Jason’s call, she was over the moon, but also a little guilty.Jason’s earnest voice sounded on the phone. “Auntie, I’m sorry for what happened at the hospital the other day. I was deceived and brought a fake doctor to treat Uncle. I’m very sorry and I haven’t gotten the chance to apologize to you…”“Oh!” Elaine said. “Hey, Jason, what are you talking about! I have always been very grateful for your kind intentions, and I’m sorry for what happened to you. I should be the one to apologize to you!”“No, Auntie, it’s my fault for not validating Dr. Lynch’s credentials first.”Then, he added, “So, I would like to invite you for lunch someday so that I can apologize to you personally if that’s okay with you.”Elaine was thrilled and overjoyed by the invitation!Frankly speaking, she didn’t

Elaine spent the rest of the morning daydreaming repeatedly about the million-dollar present that Jason had prepared for her. What could it be? She didn’t even have the mood to play cards anymore and quickly rushed to the Divine Lounge to meet up with Jason when it was time.What would the gift be? Jewelry? Diamonds? Cash? A cheque? Or something else?For people like Elaine who were on the fiddle, Jason’s lucrative gift was such an alluring attraction. The other day, when she had used Claire’s cheque to pay for the hospital bill and exploited 160,000 dollars from it, she was so happy that she had grinned over her cleverness for days.Hence, the thought of getting a million-dollar gift from Jason immediately sent her to cloud nine!At 11.30 am, Elaine bid farewell to her friends, took a taxi, and went straight to the Divine Lounge.When she arrived at the restaurant, she stood by the door as agreed and waited for Jason to come.Soon, a brand new black Mercedes Benz slowly rolled

There was nothing in her mind but money!For her, the most important element she looked for in a son-in-law was that they must be rich and willing to spend money on her. Otherwise, they were nothing but stinky sh*t in her eyes no matter how good they were.A man like Jason was the best candidate for a son-in-law because he was willing to spend money on his mother-in-law!He was already so generous and had given her a Mercedes Benz as a gift even before he was together with her daughter, what would happen if Claire married him? Would he give her a big mansion or a lavish yacht?She was extremely delighted, and her imagination ran wild!However, she still had to be polite superficially. Grabbing Jason’s arm, she said earnestly, “Jason, I’m touched by your generosity, but the car is very expensive. Would it truly be okay if I accepted it just like that?”“Why wouldn’t it be?” Jason answered. “Auntie, it’s my token of appreciation, just take it!”Elaine grinned like a dog with two t

At this time, Claire, Charlie, and Jacob had just finished having lunch at home.As Charlie was heading to the kitchen to clean up the dishes as usual, he suddenly received a phone call from Xyla.As soon as he answered the call, Xyla replied in shame as she said, “Mr. Wade, what are you doing now?”“I’m just at home.” Charlie replied in a casual manner. After that, he asked, “What’s wrong? Is there anything you want to tell me?”At this time, Xyla quickly replied, “The reason why I’m calling you today is because I want to report something to you.”“Speak.”Xyla hurriedly explained herself at this time. “So, this is what happened. Yesterday, Jason Grant and Kenneth Wilson came to my grandfather’s medical clinic begging him to treat them! My grandfather did not know that Kenneth had offended you and he almost gave him the other half of the magical pill that you’d previously given to him!”Out of curiosity, Charlie asked, “Why? Does your family have a good relationship with Kennet

Charlie simply replied, “Yes, I will come over and take a look later in the afternoon.”“That is great, Mr. Wade!” Xyla yelled excitedly before she said, “Let me tell Grandpa the good news now. He must be very excited!”After he was done cleaning up in the kitchen, Charlie came out of the kitchen and he saw that Claire was already ready to leave the house. After that, he asked, “My dear wife, are you heading to your studio now?”Claire shook her head before she said, “No. Mom called me and she told me that she has a friend who’s interested in renovating a villa. Therefore, I’m heading there to check it out.”At this time, Charlie replied in a hurry, “Which area are you heading to?”Claire replied immediately, “The villa by the river.”Charlie smiled before he replied, “That’s perfect! Can you drop me off at Serene World Clinic on the way to the villa? I want to pay a visit to the genius doctor, Dr. Simmons.”Claire was very surprised and she asked, “Are you going to see Dr. Simm

When Charlie saw Anthony saluting and bowing before him, Charlie waved his hand before he said, “Mr. Simmons, you don’t need to be so polite with me. You don’t need to call me Mr. Wade either, you can just call me Charlie.”“How could I possibly do that?” Anthony hurriedly bowed before he said, “Mr. Wade, you are my master, so how could I possibly address you by your first name?”When Charlie saw how stubborn and persistent the old man was, he did not continue to persuade him. Instead, he simply said, “I heard that Jason Grant and Kenneth Wilson came to see you yesterday?”Anthony was very surprised at this time. “Mr. Wade, how did you find out about this?”Xyla stuck out her tongue before she said, “Grandpa, I was the one who told Mr. Wade about this…”Anthony started to reprimand Xyla immediately. “Young girl! Mr. Wade is so busy with his own daily affairs, so how could you bother him with something as trivial as this?”Xyla felt very aggrieved at this time.The reason why she

As the saying goes, he should not be rewarded for a merit.Anthony felt that all he did was to refuse to treat Jason and Kenneth. In his opinion, he did not deserve to receive such a precious medicine from Charlie because of this small act of his.However, it did not matter to Charlie at all.If he really wanted to make this medicine, he could easily make thousands of these magical pills in a single day.The main reason why he did not want to make so many of these pills was because he wanted this magical pill to remain precious and valuable.Therefore, giving Anthony an extra magical pill meant nothing to Charlie at all.Charlie said in a light manner, “Mr. Simmons, since you want to stay by my side and share my worries, then you should also know that I will always reward and punish people for their acts. I think that you did very well and I feel you deserve to be rewarded. Therefore, it is only natural for me to reward you. You don’t have to be so polite with me. If I give you a

Jason’s father, Justin, had not said a single word and he simply looked at Elaine up and down. He felt that even though this woman was a little older, she was still a very charming woman. Moreover, she could be considered a more gorgeous and charming woman among all her peers.At this time, he was looking at Elaine with a greedy expression on his face as he thought to himself that when Claire arrived later, he would immediately tie both of them up! After that, he would be able to have some fun with Elaine.If he had the time, he could even have his way with the young and beautiful Claire then!As he thought about this, he smiled before he said to Elaine, “Oh, Miss Elaine, if Claire agrees to get together with Jason, then we can even be in-laws in future!”Elaine looked at Justin before she nodded and said in a flattered manner, “Yes, Mr. Grant. It would be a great blessing to our family if we could become in-laws in future!”Justin smiled before he said, “I think that our children

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

"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
