Elaine could have never imagined that Jacob, who had been doing nothing for most of his life, would suddenly strike a pot of gold when he got older.Elaine kept mocking Jacob’s useless position as the vice president for the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Secretly, however, she knew that the position held a certain weight to it.The higher management of such cultural associations were usually cultural and influential people. On top of that, the city leaders respected them.However, Elaine had been tyrannical with Jacob all her life. She couldn’t let Jacob overshadow her with his new achievements, so she deliberately piled more and more ridicule on him to bring him down.Jacob was very displeased with Elaine’s ridicule, and wanted to refute her. Her scathing remark about him being a good-for-nothing who was just there to make up the numbers hit him hard. It stirred his sheer pettiness and deep-seated sensitive feelings of inferiority.He had felt the same as he was in front o

Charlie took the name card and glanced at it casually. He noticed there was only a name and a string of numbers on the card.Kylie’s name was printed on it with a domestic phone number starting with 159. There was still a faint smell of ink from the name card. It seemed as if it was printed not long ago.Charlie didn’t think much about it. He took out his phone, snapped a photo of the name card, and then handed it back to Jacob.He planned to contact Kylie tomorrow, have a quick look at her villa’s Feng Shui, and get it over with.On the next day, Jacob reminded Charlie again during breakfast. “Hey, Charlie. Remember to give Ms. Jane a call.”Charlie nodded. “I’ll send Claire to the office first and contact Ms. Jane later.”Jacob quickly said, “You can skip that. I’ll drive Claire to the office. Anyway, I need to go to the association earlier today, so Claire can leave her car with you. If Ms. Jane is in a hurry, you can drive and meet her immediately.”Claire agreed with anod.

Elaine was never interested in the amulet. Seeing that Jacob and Claire both had one except for her, she felt left out and voiced her complaints. She did not want Charlie to discriminate against her.When she heard about the two gold bars Charlie planned to give her, the cloud hanging over her disappeared immediately.She assumed that he got the amulets from some wholesale or small market. In most cases, the amulets would be only worth a few dollars or ten dollars at most. How could it be compared to two gold bars?She earned a lot more than them!She immediately clapped happily and chirped happily, “Oh, I see! That’s great to hear! Anyway, I won’t go out for a while until my legs recover. Giving a safety amulet to me is simply a waste. Gold bars make more sense. Besides, I can work out with it! Thanks, Charlie!”Claire shook her head helplessly upon seeing her mother’s obsession with money. She kept the amulet carefully and said softly, “Husband, I’ll leave with Dad.”“Okay,” Ch

Kathleen was still on the way when Charlie arrived at Sonfo valley. Charlie gave her a call and learnt that she would be arriving in ten minutes. Thus, he waited for her in front of the residential area.Initially, he thought of visiting Graham since the latter was just around the corner. However, he decided to scrap that idea since there wasn’t much time.About ten minutes later, a low-profile Cadillac car arrived and stopped beside Charlie.The backseat door opened not long after. A young lady stepped out of the car with grace.Charlie was slightly stunned by Kathleen when he first set his eyes on her. Kathleen was not only tall and beautiful, but had a sensual charm and exuded a witty demeanor. Kathleen scrutinized Charlie, who was standing in the front of his car. She immediately recognized him as Master Wade at just first glance. After all, she had seen him at Shangri-La a few days ago.She was relieved to have finally met him. She approached Charlie and greeted him with a

There was only one downside to staying in Sonfo Valley. The place was far from the urban areas, so the traffic would be inconvenient if one entered and left the city during rush hours.As Charlie came here in the morning, the traffic was considerably smooth. If he were to travel during the after-work rush hour, he would spend at least double the time, and would be mainly stuck in traffic.The most expensive villas in Sonfo Valley were the ones next to the reservoir. There were only five units in total. Graham bought two of them, and had spent a lot more to combine them into one huge villa.While they were approaching the reservoir, Charlie asked, “Ms. Jane, did you purchase a waterfront mansion?”“That’s right.” Kathleen nodded and explained with a smile, “I heard the best units are the ones near the water, but I’m unsure if there’s anything peculiar about the Feng Shui.”Kathleen entrusted the task of purchasing the house to Sherry. At first, she had no idea of her newly bought v

Charlie did not realize that something was amiss, even when Kathleen mentioned his wife Claire. After all, his father-in-law had already told her everything about their family. Seeing that Kathleen planned to renovate such a large house, Charlie immediately told her, “My wife has a lot of projects on hand recently. She’s probably already running at full capacity. Are you planning to do a complete overhaul? There’ll be a huge workload for a major renovation here. I think she won’t be able to take on the project even if she wants to. I think Ms. Jane should look for other companies.”Kathleen nodded lightly and grinned. “If there’s a chance, I’ll visit your wife’s company. It’ll be nice if she can accept the project, but it’s fine if she can’t.”Kathleen was worried. She did not want to offend Charlie, so she quickly explained, “Mr. Wilson recommended her services to me. I don’t want to make Mr. Wilson unhappy by contacting other designers first.”Kathleen used Jacob as the reason f

Kathleen had no plans to renovate the place at first. She did not plan to live in it, either. However, her plans changed completely after knowing that Charlie’s wife, Claire, had an interior design company. She planned to renovate the place, but not for living. She wanted to use it as an opportunity to get to know Claire.Charlie said solemnly, “Ms. Jane, since you’re planning to have a full renovation, the current interior Feng Shui wouldn’t be a problem anymore. There’s no issue with the house’s overall Feng Shui. As for the future Feng Shui, we’ll need to wait until you’ve decided on the design. Then, we can make specific adjustments according to the design plan.”Charlie added, “Since you’re hoping that your elders can live here with great health, I can give you some tips and suggestions.”Kathleen said quickly, “Mr. Wade, do share your tips with me.”Charlie explained, “It’s best to choose a room that ensures longevity, preferably on the first floor for convenience. Try and

Kathleen knew better than anyone that Charlie couldn't care less about charging her his Feng Shui service, which usually ranged between millions of dollars.After all, just one Rejuvenating Pill could easily be ten billion US dollars and above. There was a high possibility that Charlie was the real owner behind The Apothecary Pharmaceutical.The Apothecary Pharmaceutical’s net profit could easily range from billions to ten billion US dollars annually. Why would Charlie care about a mere million dollars?With that in mind, Kathleen quickly discovered the reasons behind Charlie’s action. Charlie established an image of Feng Shui Master to his family, but not for money. There must be other reasons for it. Perhaps he needed time and space to work under his other identity.Kathleen told Charlie in an understanding tone, “Thank you, Mr. Wade. I owe you such a big favor! I don’t know how to repay you yet, but let’s keep in contact for now. Do let me know if you require my assistance in th

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

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

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6478
Soon, the video of Mick's staged act was uploaded to the online group, and everyone eagerly watched it as soon as it was done uploading.Mick certainly set a new bar with his acting as none of them could see that it was an act.Moreover, everyone could see that the bronze sculpture looked like the real deal, and they might have been swindled if it were them.As such, they couldn't help being impressed as Mick had easily seen through Billy's con, and he was the definition of a pro in that video.No matter how Billy had packaged it, there was no tricking real experts like Mick Crane. Just a quick glance and he had seen through that it was a postmodern replica, matched with a base from the Renaissance era to misdirect and beguile.With that, many fellow antique dealers changed their opinion of Mick.After all, Vintage Deluxe's business had been declining after Mick took over as manager, and people were presuming that his skills were lacking.But now, they were all shown that he had

"Amazing, Mr. Crane!""It's Mr. Crane who shines through, in the end! His eyes see through everything!""I guess Miss Moore made the right choice firing Raymond and appointing Mr. Crane! Mr. Crane is infinitely better!"Mick was immediately thrilled to see them fawning over him, and he laughed, "You flatter me—I'm merely sharing my personal perspective on this. In this trade, anyone who knows would understand how hard it is to get the good stuff in this age of technology.""There are plenty of people who hold ulterior motives and change their tactics knowing that there are always those scheming to get their hands on vintage treasures, so they just have to make it. That is how they started making counterfeits of everything, from scrolls to sculptures to statues, each of them so real just to trick those fools who think they could get rich overnight!""Exactly!" Someone promptly agreed. "There's never a lack of any such fools, and I just happened to meet one. I had this piece of jade
