Everyone could put the interests of the Acker family first. Even if there were any disagreements, they could also be objective and democratic in their discussions.It was precisely because of this structure that Kaeden, Jaxson and Lulu had all put aside all of their businesses and rushed home when Lord Acker was suddenly critically ill. At the same time, they were all waiting for their elder brother Christian to come back home to preside over the emergency situation.Quinn, who was sitting on the plane at the same time, looked at the wax pill in the white plastic box in her hand. She was feeling extremely excited.Although she knew that she shouldn’t be feeling this way in this situation, she simply couldn’t control her own feelings. Charlie was actually asking her to go to his grandparents’ house and pose as his fiancée!To Quinn, this was Charlie’s recognition of her.Compared to the previous ambiguity, Charlie’s attitude this time was a big step forward in her opinion!What

Lulu took Christian with her as they rushed all the way to the Acker family’s medical center.This medical center was not only staffed with the top experts from various departments, but it was also equipped with multiple ICU intensive care units, delivery rooms, and operating rooms.The hardware facilities here were also fully capable of handling the world’s most complex organ transplant surgery. At this time, Keith, the head of the Acker family, was lying in the largest ICU ward in the medical center. His body was plugged with various equipment and tubes, and his entire face was covered with an oxygen mask. He was relying on the ventilator to barely maintain a faint breathing. His wife, who was also Charlie’s grandmother, was sitting next to him as she rubbed his right hand gently with both her hands. She was already in tears.Although there were several doctors on standby, there was nothing they could do.In their opinion, Keith’s life was coming to an end. It was just like

“This…” Christian stammered. “Mom… Things haven’t reached that point yet, so you shouldn’t be thinking about them.”The old lady shook her head, wiped away her tears, and said expressionlessly, “We’ve already tried all the methods that could be used, and we also tried the methods that normally can’t be used. I even invited Master Howton, who your father has always been disgusted with, to come over. I really don’t know what else to do…”Christian knew his father didn’t believe in religion in his life, let alone metaphysics. Regardless of whether it was Master Howton from Golden Taoism, or Old Master Lennard from the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams, they were all no different from charlatans to Keith.His mother would never invite Master Howton to their house if it wasn’t a last resort. Christian, who had been comforting his younger siblings and mother, felt even more desperate.He feared his father really wouldn’t be able to survive this time.…At the same time…In mid-

This staff member of the Acker family did not know who Charlie was, but he froze when he heard Ashley’s name, as if he had been hit by lightning.As soon as he heard Quinn saying that Charlie was Ashley’s son, he was instantly appalled.He immediately thought of how the main family had been searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the son that Ashley had left behind for so many years, yet failed to find a single clue at all.Could this be an important clue delivered to his doorstep?!As he thought of this, he approved the plane’s request to land immediately. At the same time, he also picked up the phone to report to his superiors.The words, ‘Ashley Acker’s son’ were like a shocking thunderbolt which caused the Acker family’s butler to rush into the medical center.At this time, Christian was still trying his best to comfort his mother as he forced himself to endure the pain.For the old lady, her eldest son was at this moment her spiritual support.The butler hurriedly ran

In fact, he was eager to go out with everyone to see if it was Charlie who returned or not.Although all of the siblings in the Acker family had deep affection for Ashley, Kaeden had the closest and deepest relationship with Ashley among his siblings.Even though he had always been resolute and extremely strong, this strength was something he gained after Ashley’s death.When Ashely was still alive, he was her most devout follower and was always around Ashley. It was only after Ashley’s death that he began to subconsciously imitate his sister’s behavior and gradually accomplish his current achievements. Deep in his heart, he always felt that he wasn’t as good as his sister’s.Meanwhile…A plane gradually approached from the sky and landed at the end of the runway. The Acker family felt more and more nervous.Lady Acker couldn’t help but ask the children around her, “Do you think…that Charlie will be on the plane?!”Everyone dared not answer. After all, Charlie had been mis

“I…”When Quinn heard Lady Acker’s question, she pursed her lips, feeling extremely embarrassed.However, she recalled what Charlie had instructed her. She could only bite the bullet and lie, “Sorry, Grandma… I haven’t been able to find Brother Charlie… Yet.”As Quinn said this, she saw clearly the glimmer in the old lady’s eyes dimming instantly.She suddenly felt that it was too cruel for her to say this to this old lady with such a kind face. Christian, standing nearby, sighed and asked her, “Miss Golding, have you been looking for Charlie as well?”“Yes…” Quinn said seriously. “My father’s been looking for Brother Charlie for almost twenty years. He’s searched almost everywhere in the world.”Lady Acker said softly with a grateful expression, “The Golding family is affectionate and righteous. You guys haven’t forgotten about Charlie, even after so many years! Thank you… I thought we were the only ones who were still looking for Charlie’s whereabouts. I didn’t expect you peo

Kaeden quickly said, “Good, good. You haven’t had dinner yet after coming all the way here, right? Let your aunt arrange for you to have something to eat first.”Quinn rejected her, saying, “No need, Uncle Kaeden. I already ate on the plane on the way here.”Quinn asked again, “Can I go in and see Grandpa?”Lady Acker said, “Come, Quinn. I’ll take you in.”She was about to take Quinn’s hand to lead her to the ICU.Unexpectedly, at this moment, a doctor suddenly exclaimed, “The patient’s blood pressure and heart rate are dropping too fast! Quickly prepare the defibrillator!”Everyone was immediately startled by this shout. They quickly gathered around the hospital bed.Keith’s attending doctor said, “We can’t use the defibrillator. In his current condition, the defibrillator will only cause him to suffer more harm for no reason before he passes. His body has already reached its limit…”When the doctor saw that the electrocardiogram was almost close to a straight line, he asked I

Yule’s affair was known to everyone in Oskia’s circle of elites.Despite the fact the Golding family held a large influence in Oskia, it was somewhat lacking compared to the Acker family.Therefore, Lady Acker did not have much of an impression of Yule. Naturally, she knew nothing about his illness and subsequent recovery. But upon seeing Quinn speaking with so much certainty, coupled with the fact that she was already fond of Quinn because Quinn was engaged to her grandson, she couldn’t help but believe in Quinn. Still, some of her uncertainty remained. She glanced at Master Howton, who had been pinching his fingers and chanting incessantly, and asked sincerely, “What do you think, Master Howton?”Master Howton opened his eyes and sighed. “Lord Acker’s qi has already been exhausted. Even my Life-Sustaining Pill can’t do anything to save him. In my opinion, there’s no longer any pill in this world that can save him…”When Quinn heard this, she immediately rebutted and exclaime

Zachary was instantly relieved to hear that Jacob's flight was taking off soon.The issue at hand was troublesome, but he would at least have time to come up with a plan if he was given more time.Moreover, Jacob didn't know anything and would be in Dubai in a few hours. Most importantly, he wouldn't be bothered with Aurous Hill gossip when he arrived, giving Zachary more time to deal with this mess.As such, Zachary quickly said, "Oh, nothing, Mr. President. I was just calling to check on your flight, but since you're flying now, I'm sure the air stewardess will be asking you to turn the flight mode on. I shan't be a bother now—I wish you safe travels with the missus!" Seeing how cordial Zachary was, Jacob chuckled, "How nice of you. I'll definitely get you some local souvenirs!""Oh, then allow me to thank you ahead of time, Mr. President!" Zachary exclaimed, as subservient as ever."Uh-huh," Jacob replied. "Well, I'm hanging up now. Let's catch up later.""Yes, yes, yes, let

Mr. Cardensky's forgery syndicate had made the bronze sculpture—all Zachary had done was talk Jacob into buying it, and Jacob himself had made some money after Raymond bought it.That meant the entire plot had nothing to do with Zachary as he was just a mediator at best.In other words, if the bronze sculpture was worth nothing, he didn't lose anything… although he wouldn't make a cent even if it was worth a hundred million.However, he also knew all too well what Jacob Wilson was like.In fact, in this world, he was only second to Charlie when it came to knowing what type of man Jacob Wilson really was—not even Claire or Elaine would win against them.He was a dead man.That was Zachary's immediate thought on the matter, should Jacob ever find out.After all, Jacob was precisely one of those people who didn't play by any rules—no buyer's regret? No seller's remorse? None of that applied to him.Not even the Gods could make Jacob offer a refund if he scalped them. And vice vers

As Mick Crane had established a corrupted hierarchy in Vintage Deluxe, he had to make sure his position was never threatened by Raymond Cole.That was why he wanted Raymond gone, and it was obvious from that how important self-gain was to him.However, though he plotted to protect this job with a salary of several hundred grand per annum and incentives worth just as much, he didn't think that doing so meant he had missed out on 20 million.And to add insult to injury, that 20 million had ended up in Raymond's pocket.Mick wasn't just thunderstruck—he wished he was dead.Hanging up on Trippy right then, he called Zachary directly since Zachary had told him earlier that text notifications from his number would be silenced.Zachary was just about to fall asleep when his phone began buzzing.Already annoyed when he picked up his phone, he immediately snapped at Mick when he saw who the caller was. "I told you! Text me if you have any updates, and I'll check it when I wake up! Why ar

As Ian Cash's trio turned and left Treasure Measure, Trippy was still standing there, staring blankly as they headed off to the distance, utterly dispirited.Seeing that, Raymond returned his phone and said coolly, "We had agreed on some ground rules, but not only did you break them, you even tried to sabotage me.""Since you refuse to be honorable, you can't blame me for being cold—starting now, we shall have nothing to do with each other. We'll be strangers even if we bump into each other."Trippy was already choking, and he snatched his phone back before dashing out of Treasure Measure, calling Mick Crane as soon as he left.Mick had just arrived at Vintage Deluxe and hadn't even sat down when Trippy called, and he asked as soon as he answered, "How did it go? What did you find out?"However, Trippy was so exasperated he burst into tears right then, "M-Mr. Crane… My dear Mr. Crane…"Mick was left reeling from shock, and he promptly snapped, "Can't you fucking talk? Why are you

Seeing that the transaction was complete and that the bargain deal had been taken, the other collectors all excused themselves and left.As for Ian, once he had bagged the bronze sculpture, he nodded at Raymond. "I apologize for leaving early, Mr. Cole, but I must return to Eastcliff. However, you can contact me again should you pick up another treasure. I'm quite a spendthrift, and I pay up right away if the item is good and the price is right."Raymond smiled. "Very well. I shall contact you first the next time I get something good."Ian nodded and was ready to leave with his two friends when Trippy chased after them."Please, Mr. Cash!" He cried urgently, his anxiety overcoming him. "You shouldn't buy that! It's a forgery!"Ian frowned at him. "Are you trying to sabotage Mr. Cole? Aren't you supposed to be his friend?""Hell, no!" Trippy promptly replied. "I'm no friend of his—I'm just here to watch, but I didn't think he dared to trick you for 20 million! I can't bear to see

No one except Raymond expected that the terms would be agreed upon so quickly.He was utterly confident in his judgment and even more so in his value appraisal.He was convinced that once they had a good look, any one of these collectors who could afford twenty million wouldn't miss this bargain.After all, an opportunity to secure an item worth millions more than the price they paid was very rare.In fact, when the other nine collectors heard that the first collector was buying it, it was only to be expected even if it left them all gloomy. They had all held the bronze sculpture in their hands—they knew it was definitely worth that much.However, no one in the room was more shocked than Trippy.He looked utterly flabbergasted, his eyes wide and bulging as he stared at the bronze sculpture while asking himself the same question repeatedly.Was that crap really worth twenty million? How?!While Trippy was still stunned, Raymond had already sent his payment details to the first

Unable to nitpick on the air stewardess' response, Elaine pouted, "Well, try to ask management to improve on your first-class cabins anyway. Maybe even make a premium-class or something since it's not like we can't afford it."The air stewardess quickly said, "We will definitely relay your message to the management."Nodding in satisfaction, Elaine waved her off. "Alright. You can go back to work now."Clearly relieved, the air stewardess bowed her head respectfully. "Always happy to be of service."After the air stewardess left, Jacob asked Elaine in curiosity, "Was the private jet that good?"Elaine rolled her eyes. "Didn't you see the stuff I posted in the chat group?""Not really," Jacob blurted. Elaine was ready to snap at him for not caring, but considering that they had made up now and she shouldn't fuss too much over the little things, she snorted, "Just remember to like and comment on all my posts in the chat group, otherwise, I will make you regret it!""No problem!"

While the ten collectors were taking turns studying the bronze sculpture, Jacob and Elaine were boarding their flight.As they were flying first-class, they had priority over the other passengers and boarded from the separate plug door at the first-class section.The capacity of the Boeing 777 was huge, and the wide-body aircraft could be connected to a special double corridor bridge where first class and business class passengers boarded separately from the economy class passengers.As the terminals to economy class and business class were connected, Elaine and Jacob were able to get through the first-class terminal unimpeded, but the passengers in economy class had a queue of over two hundred passengers. Even as she walked, Elaine was looking over her shoulder and exclaiming at Jacob, "Must be nice being rich! We used to have to queue like the rest of them, waiting for over thirty minutes just to board our flight." "In first class, we may be in the same plane, but we don't hav

Meanwhile, once Raymond had briefed everyone about the rules, he opened the door and invited everyone into Treasure Measure.It was not that wide but appeared spacious since the interior was mostly empty—it was not really crowded even with thirty-ish people.Then, locking the door from the inside, Raymond told them, "I can tell from everyone's faces that we are all veterans here, so I'm sure you understand the rules while appraising: no photos or videos, thank you very much."Indeed, there were many rules that governed the hobby, the most important being respecting the seller's requests and privacy.As the collectors listened, they knew that Raymond was selling but did not want the public to know too much about him.They all nodded, and those who had their phones out slid them back into their pockets.With that, Raymond took out the bronze sculpture that he had brought, leaving Trippy a little surprised.He had never seen the bronze sculpture with his own eyes before, only from
