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

At nine o’clock in the morning in Aurous Airport, a tall middle-aged woman with blonde hair and blue eyes strode out.This woman’s appearance was considered very beautiful, but you could tell that she was no longer young through the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was Kelly Wearstler, and she was already in her fifties. However, her outfit was very fashionable because of her background as a designer. If you did not look closely at her, you would think that she was only in her early thirties. When Kelly walked out of the airport, Claire recognized her at a glance, but Kathleen. who had only just looked at Kelly’s information yesterday, was a little overwhelmed, and she did not react at once.However, Kelly recognized Kathleen immediately and so, she waved at her enthusiastically as she shouted happily, “Jane! I’m here!”Kathleen came to her senses and soon recognized Kelly. So, she also pretended to be very excited as she said, “Kelly! You’re finally here!”As she spo

Kelly looked at Kathleen in surprise. She did not expect that this young lady from the Fox family would be so perceptive and that she would find the key point almost immediately.So, she smiled slightly, nodded, and said, “In fact, she had very, very high fame in the American high society thirty years ago. There are still many people who talk about her with respect even now.”When Kathleen heard this, she was even more curious, and she asked, “If that’s true, I might have heard of her before. What’s her name? Is it convenient for you to tell me?”Kelly thought for a moment and then laughed slightly as she said, “She has already left this world for many years now. So, it wouldn’t be inconvenient.”As Kelly spoke, she put her smile away, and she had a nostalgic expression that was filled with admiration and a little sadness as she said, “Her name is Ashley Acker. She was called Silicon Valley’s Queen of Investment thirty years ago. I don’t know if you’ve heard of her before, but it w
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3809
Kelly did not expect that Kathleen, who was so young, would actually have such a deep impression of Ashley as well.Moreover, looking at her appearance, it seemed as though she really admired Ashley.This made her feel a sense of relief, and she could not help but sigh, “It’s great that so many people still remember her even after so many years have passed...”Kathleen nodded and hurriedly questioned her, “Kelly, how did you get to know Ashley Acker?”Kelly had a nostalgic expression as she said, “When I first entered the design circle, it did not go well for me. Although I did high-end private house designs, many high-end customers were still very disdainful of me as a fledgling designer. Moreover, many women in many jobs were being discriminated in the American society during that era, and the design industry was naturally no exception...”As Kelly spoke of this, she sighed slightly and said with immense gratitude, “I was frugal, and I took out five thousand US dollars to open m

By the time Claire had returned home and had just sat on the sofa, she was already tired, and her whole body was sore.When Charlie saw the appearance of several blisters on her feet after she had taken off her socks, he could not help but feel a little distressed as he said, “Honey, what have you been doing all day? Why do you have so many blisters?”Claire smiled shyly and said, “I was silly today and forgot to wear sneakers. I also took them to several scenic spots and walked more than twenty thousand steps...”Having said that, she smirked and said, “It’s alright. It will certainly be much better after I change into sneakers tomorrow!”Charlie blurted out, “Your feet are already like this and you’re still going shopping tomorrow?!”Claire nodded and said seriously, “Of course I’m going! Honey, you don’t know this but I can really learn a lot of things just by following Miss Jane and Madam Wearstler. I feel that I’m not from the same world as them, and I have never heard of man

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
