Very soon, Sherry arrived at Claire’s office, led by the female designer.Claire got up to greet Sherry. She smiled and said, “Miss Connor, why are you here so early?”Sherry smiled. “Chairman Wilson, I came here to confirm our construction period with you. Our young lady would like to know how long the renovation would take and when we will be able to move in.”Claire replied with some difficulty, “Miss Connor, we’re still in the communication stage of this project. I don’t know how many times we’ll need to find a balance in our communication, and I don’t know how many versions of the design sketches are required to satisfy Miss Jane. So, I cannot give you an exact time frame yet.”Claire added, “However, I think that this matter is divided into two steps. The first step is that we’ll need to remove the original renovation first. This will be much faster. I have a better understanding of the situation of the villa as well. I estimate that the soft interior and hard furnishings ca

Sherry looked up at Claire and asked, “Chairman Wilson, our young lady said that she’s free now. She’s staying at Shangri-La Hotel, which is not too far from here. If you have nothing on, we can go over there now.”Claire did not hesitate. “That’s fine with me. Let’s go there.”“Okay.” Sherry smiled. “I happened to drive here, so why don’t you carpool with me, Chairman Wilson?”“Alright.” Claire readily agreed. She picked up a notepad from the table immediately, placed her tablet into her bag, and then followed Sherry out of the office.As Claire had already consulted Charlie for his opinion before she took on this order, she didn’t need to report everything to Charlie. It was expected of her to meet the client for renovation. Sometimes, it was completely reasonable for her to have to deal with her client all the time, so Claire didn’t think too much about it.Sherry drove Claire to Shangri-La Hotel. Along the way, she looked for various topics to chat with Claire. At the same t

When Kathleen took the initiative to greet her, Claire felt somewhat flattered. She said humbly, “Miss Jane, you’re being too polite. I’m just an ordinary person, so how is it possible for you to have heard of me before?”Kathleen laughed. “I always hear Sherry talking about you. She speaks highly of you.”As Kathleen spoke, she led Claire into the reception area with a smile. “Madam Wilson, let’s sit down and talk.”“Okay.” Claire nodded and followed Kathleen, before taking a seat in the reception area.As soon as Claire sat down, Kathleen casually instructed Sherry, “Sherry, prepare us two cups of coffee.”After that, she turned to Claire and asked, “Madam Wilson, what kind of coffee would you like? I only have a capsule coffee machine here, so please forgive me if I’m being a little too neglectful.”Claire hurriedly waved her hand and said, “Miss Jane, you don’t have to go through such trouble. I don’t need to drink anything…”However, Kathleen nodded at Claire with a small

Kathleen laughed. “Why would I make a joke like that? I do personally know her, and I’ve just sent her an invitation to Oskia two days ago, telling her to drop by whenever she’s free.”Claire’s excitement rose. She asked eagerly, “Miss Jane, did Madam Wearstler agree to your invitation?”“She agreed to it.” Kathleen smiled. “She’s already coordinating her time, and she said that she’ll come over as soon as possible. It so happens that she has never been to Oskia before, so she’s very interested in this place.”Claire grew more and more excited by the minute. “Miss Jane, I have a request. I wonder if you can agree to it…”Kathleen looked at Claire with a knowing smile. “Madam Wilson, you want to meet Kelly, right?”“Yes!” Claire did not expect Kathleen to be able to read her mind so quickly. She asked, excited and nervous, “Miss Jane, is it possible…?”“Of course!” Kathleen agreed without hesitation, still smiling brightly. “It so happens that I’m not very familiar with Aurous Hil

When Claire heard Kathleen’s words, she finally came to a realization.She had never seen Kathleen before this, and she had only spoken to Kathleen’s assistant, Sherry, about the renovation of the house. So, she did not know of Kathleen’s exact intention for buying this villa.But now when she heard Kathleen saying so, Claire instantly understood in her heart.So, she hurriedly said, “Miss Jane, you’re right. The elderly actually prefer the Oskian style more. The Western modernist style pays more attention to the mix and match of various materials, but our Oskian style pays most attention to woodwork. For example, my father is particularly obsessed with ancient Oskian style furniture. We have a Lexington sofa set at home, and my father likes it very much. He would even polish it seven or eight times a day!”“That’s right” Kathleen also seemed to have found her confidant as she said, “My grandfather is also the same! He likes rosewood, mahogany, lexington wood, and agarwood. Further

When Kelly learned that the young lady from the Fox family was interested in befriending her, she naturally did not hesitate to agree, and last night, she had already promised that she would drop all the work that she had on hand and fly over to Oskia immediately to see Kathleen as long as she needed her. This was the usefulness of money. It was just like how those ordinary people would dream to see a celebrity, and it was likely that if a netizen would pay millions of dollars for appearance fees, the celebrity would also fly over to celebrate the netizen’s birthday and sing for him.This was yet another advantage of money. Therefore, Sherry returned to her room immediately and called Kelly.As soon as the phone call was connected, she said directly, “Hello, Miss Wearstler. I’m Miss Fox’s assistant, Sherry Connor.”When Kelly heard this, she immediately said respectfully, “Hello, Miss Connor! May I ask what Miss Fox’s instructions are?”Sherry said, “Our young lady would like

When Claire left Shangri-La, her mind was still buzzing.She really could not believe that Miss Jane had such great ability. Jane could actually ask her idol to come to Aurous Hill with just a single phone call. Moreover, Claire was also invited to be in their company throughout her stay here.To Claire, this made her even happier than winning the lottery.Claire’s excitement and thrill remained from morning until evening, and she still had a smile that she could not control on her face even after she returned home.When Charlie saw that Claire had been smiling ever since she entered the door, he could not help but ask, “Honey, what happened to make you so happy? You’re smiling so much that you cannot even close your mouth...”Claire hurriedly came forward and said happily, “Honey, something happened today that made me feel especially excited!” Charlie asked curiously, “What is it that is making you so excited?”Claire said excitedly, “My idol, Kelly Wearstler, the Big Sister i

She had locked down on the fact that he was the owner of the Rejuvenating Pill within a few days of coming to Aurous Hill. She had even managed to win his father-in-law over with a petty profit and then managed to accurately find this point and ambition that his wife had always had but never had the opportunity to fulfill in the design field. It was indeed very remarkable.Moreover, Charlie felt that Kathleen was really courageous.She obviously knew that there had to be some hidden experts in Aurous Hill, but she still chose to stay here instead of leaving. So, it could be seen that although this woman was young, her abilities were not to be belittled, and she also had a very deep scheming heart. The more it was this case, the more Charlie felt that this woman, Kathleen, was very troublesome.However, the good thing was that she was not very threatening. Moreover, when Charlie saw that his wife was so happy, he did not want his wife’s ultimate wish to end up in disappointment eit

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A

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
