The masterclass that Kelly was talking about was a high-end training course led by the Rhode Island School of Design, which was the top in the world in the field of design. It was also the most advanced skill class in the entire field of interior design, and it was known as the cradle of the world’s top designers. It was just like Lakeside University which had been established by the owner of Alibaba back then. Those who could get in were basically very powerful or promising young entrepreneurs in Oskia.For this kind of place, in addition to getting access to the top knowledge, technology, and academics in the industry, being able to step into this place would mean that you would have access to the tip of the industry’s pyramid.As soon as you had access to it, you would be connected to the most cutting-edge resources in the industry.It was also much more difficult to enter the masterclass at Rhode Island School of Design compared to Lakeside University.Before Lakeside Univers

Meanwhile, Claire was preparing to eat lunch at the company.As there were a lot of official duties and business at the company, Claire would usually not bother to go home to eat at noon. Instead, she would eat takeouts at the company because this would save her more than an hour.She was just about to pick up her cell phone and order food when she received a phone call from Kathleen. So, Claire picked up the phone and smiled as she said, “Miss Jane, what are your instructions for me?”Kathleen said, “Claire, didn’t I tell you long ago not to call me Miss Jane? You can just call me Kylie.”Claire laughed and said, “You’re my friend when it’s not working hours, but you’re my client when it comes to work and so, I must be polite to you.”Kathleen laughed helplessly and said, “It’s already noon. Is it still working hours? Don’t you have lunch breaks at your company?”Claire explained, “Other employees have lunch breaks, and our lunch break is for one and a half hours. However, for

“Leave Aurous Hill?!”When Claire heard Kathleen’s question, she asked in disbelief, “Why do you want me to leave Aurous Hill?”Kathleen smiled and said, “Because Kelly and I would like to invite you to go abroad for a while.”“Go abroad? For a month?!” When Claire heard this, she quickly waved her hand and said awkwardly, “How could I have so much free time? I still have to manage and take care of the company, and I also have to take care of my family. I would still be able to force it and make time for it if I were to go out for three to five days, but a month is too long, and it cannot be done at all...”Kathleen had a serious expression as she said, “Claire, haven’t you heard people often say this? Time is like something a woman has... if you squeeze it, there will still be something...” Claire was a little embarrassed, and she touched her forehead as she said helplessly, “One month is really too long. Not to mention the fact that I do not have the time, but even if I did, I

“Criticized?” Kelly said disdainfully, “Rhode Island School of Design originally gave me the authority to grant a special quota. This authority is given to me, and it is up to me to give it to anyone I want. Not to mention that your qualifications are not good enough, but even if it was someone who has not studied design at all, as long as I fill out her information and send it to the Rhode Island School of Design, this person can participate in the masterclass with integrity, and no one can say even one word about it!”After saying that, Kelly looked at Claire and said seriously, “Claire, you don’t have to have so many psychological burdens. There is such an opportunity right in front of you now, and as long as you nod your head, this opportunity will be yours.”Claire pursed her lips and asked with some difficulty, “Kelly... is what you’re saying... true?”At this time, Claire was still in disbelief deep down. Kelly spoke in a firm tone, “Of course, it’s true! Both Kylie and I f

Kathleen’s words made Claire’s eyes light up immediately.She suddenly thought to herself, ‘Charlie usually has nothing important to do in Aurous Hill. He usually just helps some acquaintances take a look at their Feng Shui, so it shouldn’t be very important...’‘If I asked him to go to the United States with me, he will definitely have plenty of time to do so…’‘This way, I will not have to worry about being separated from him for too long…’Immediately after that, Claire thought of her parents, and she secretly thought, ‘Dad happens to be going to Korea soon for his exchange activities, and Mom’s leg is almost fully recovered. She should not have any problem being alone at home, and based on Mom’s personality, she should be happier living alone at home in such a big house.’As Claire thought of this, she felt that letting her husband, Charlie, head to the United States with her was definitely the best solution to this matter.So, she could not hold back her excitement any longe

This made her run out in surprise and ask, “Dad, Charlie, where’s Mom?”Jacob grunted twice and casually said, “Your mother went for a facial with Hannah Queen.”“Huh?!” Claire was dumbfounded as she asked, “Since when did Mom start hanging out with Hannah Queen?”Jacob laughed and said, “Isn’t it because Wendy brought Hannah back the last time? Your mother fought with your grandmother in front of her house. Since then, the two daughters-in-law seem to have resolved two or three decades of conflicts. The both of them started chatting on WhatsApp for a few days, and it seem as though your mother gave Hannah a few tips to teach her how to deal with your grandmother. The both of them have become good friends ever since.”As Jacob spoke of this, he smacked his lips and said, “Tsk... Can you believe that the both of them have become good friends now?”Claire shook her head helplessly and smiled as she said, “Although it might sound strange, this is also a good thing. Mom usually does n

After listening to Jacob’s words, Charlie really did not know whether he should laugh or cry.He could only patiently explain to Jacob, “Dad, it’s very difficult to calculate a person’s fortune simply by looking at the photo because the face is not just about facial features and appearance, but the whole person’s three-dimensional facial image. It’s only then that we can really see what is behind a person’s face.”Jacob could not understand him, and he asked, “Isn’t the so-called face reading just to look at a person’s appearance to know of a person’s general fortune? Look at how clear this photo is! It’s the official published ID photo.”Charlie asked helplessly, “Dad, not to mention anything else, you should have also heard of people saying something like a person’s face or something is black and thus, there will be a blood bath. However, take a look at this guy’s photo. The photography flash is hitting his face, and he looks even fairer than a Caucasian man. Even if there is real

Elaine looked at Hannah and laughed as she said in a b*tchy manner, “Look, Sister-in-Law. He’s being so anxious just because I said a couple of words.”Hannah curled her lips and said disdainfully, “Isn’t that the nature and virtue of all the men in the Wilson family? They are slow to act, have small abilities, and possess a big temper!”Elaine clapped her hands and said excitedly, “Sister-in-law, you’re so right! Every word that you’ve just said is really true, and it really resonates deep in my heart.”Jacob felt his face burning and so, he stood up immediately and said to Claire, “Claire, you guys can order takeout. You don’t need to order for me.”Claire hurriedly asked, “Dad, what are you going to do?”Jacob said angrily, “I’m already full from anger and so, I’m going to go and lay down in my room and rest.”Claire was helpless and so, she could only say to Elaine, “Mom, why don’t you just stop saying anything else?”When Hannah saw that Claire could not stand it any longer

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
