Charlie had a calm expression on his face as he faced Loreen’s sudden confession. He merely replied, “We just happened to meet a few scumbags, and that is why I decided to teach them a lesson. Don’t take it to heart.”Loreen replied seriously, “No matter what it is, I would really like to thank you!”After that, Loreen sat down beside Charlie and quickly stretched out her hands as she hugged him in her arms.Both of them were wearing very little clothes, and Charlie could instantly feel Loreen’s smooth and tender skin rubbing against him.Charlie’s body tightened immediately and he quickly said, “Loreen, don’t do this. I don’t want Claire to see us acting like this.”Loreen chuckled before she asked, “Does that mean I can hug you and do whatever I want if Claire cannot see us?”“That’s not what I mean…” Charlie replied helplessly.Loreen hugged him a little tighter before she said stubbornly, “I want to hug you, and it would be best if Claire could see us acting like this now.

Charlie was completely at a loss for words at this time. What did Loreen mean? Was she willing to become his mistress and underground lover just because of him?Still, how could he possibly agree to this kind of request?First of all, his feelings for Claire were real, and he was really sincere toward her. Even though Claire had been initially dissatisfied with her grandfather’s arrangement, she finally agreed to marry Charlie although her whole family was laughing and ridiculing her for her decision. Of course, Claire had never looked down on him before.Furthermore, when the auntie who had taken care of him in the orphanage fell ill, Claire was the one who lent him the money so that he could pay for her medical expenses. Charlie would never be able to forget Claire’s kindness.So, how could he possibly agree to let Loreen become his lover?At this time, Claire, who was fast asleep, suddenly moved a little.Charlie was startled and quickly pushed Loreen out of his arms.Loreen

As Charlie, his wife, and Loreen were bathing in the hot spring pool, Marcus, who had had the words ‘pathetic jerk’ engraved on his forehead and his plastic girlfriend who now had a crooked nose had hitched a ride in a dilapidated van back to the city.At this time, Marcus, who was sitting inside the van, kept his bloodied forehead covered out of fear that the van driver would see the words engraved on his forehead.Both of them had stopped the van on the way out of the Champs Elys Spa Resort. They had negotiated with the van driver and come to an agreement that the van driver would send both of them home for two hundred dollars. Right now, all Marcus wanted was to get home as soon as possible. He did not want any more trouble!However, the van driver could see the blood that was oozing out of Marcus’s forehead from the rearview mirror.After observing him for a long time, he could not help but ask in surprise, “Young man, are you hurt?”Marcus replied angrily, “This has nothing t

The police officer replied coldly, “Okay, then. You are insulting a law enforcement officer now! That means that you are blatantly resisting the law! Don’t blame us for taking actions against you, then!”As soon as he had finished talking, the police officer took out his pepper spray and aimed it directly at Marcus’s face before spraying it on the latter’s face.Marcus could feel the burning pain in his eyes at this time, and he subconsciously reached out his hand to rub his eyes, completely forgetting that as soon as he removed his hands, the two bloodied words that were engraved on his forehead would be instantly exposed.“Oh, my God…” One of the police officers exclaimed out loud. “Just look at him! He has some words engraved on his forehead!”“What kind of tattoo is that? That’s really very hardcore!”“Hahaha! It’s no wonder why this young kid likes to call other people a pathetic jerk. It is simply because he has the words ‘pathetic jerk’ engraved on his forehead!”When Marc

Harold was also slowly losing his temper.What the hell was this?He had seen Marcus being handcuffed at the side of the road by the police officers. That was the reason why he decided to come over to say hello to him. However, he did not expect this guy to actually curse at him and spit at his face instead. This was f*cking disgusting!Harold said angrily, “Mr. Lloyd, you are too much! I just came over to ask you about the situation out of concern since we are friends. So, how can you treat me like this?!”Marcus yelled immediately, “Who the f*ck do you think you are? Do you really think that a poor man like you is actually worthy enough to become my friend?! You are nothing more than a pathetic jerk in my eyes! Are you trying to butter up to me so that you can get closer to me? Get lost!”“I…” Harold felt seriously wronged.However, he did not dare to go against Marcus at all. After all, Harold knew very well that the Lloyd family was countless times more powerful and stronger

At this time, Claire suddenly asked, “Don’t you have to go back to work?”Loreen stuck out her tongue before she said, “Well, my job was originally to run around outside. Moreover, I have never met the chairman of Emgrand Group before ever since I started working there. Therefore, he has no way to control me at all. In a way, I am actually an unsupervised employee. So, I guess it is okay for me to skip work occasionally.”After that, Loreen spoke up once again. “Since both of you have something on, I will send you home first.”Upon arriving at the carpark, Charlie realized that Don Albert was standing next to Loreen’s car. Moreover, the spot where Loreen’s car had been badly scratched yesterday had also been repaired.When Albert saw them walking toward the car, he immediately greeted Charlie respectfully. “Mr. Wade, did you have fun?”“Not bad.” Charlie looked at the rear of the car for a few moments, and when he realized that it was looking as good as new, he knew that Albert ha

Very soon, the pair of best friends, Claire and Loreen, had made a pact to live together in the villa at Thompson First in the future.Both the women were very happy at this time, but Charlie was a little depressed.Claire was indeed a very innocent person. She did not even realize that Loreen had always been trying to get closer to her husband!Claire even invited Loreen to move into their villa to live with them. His silly wife! She was inviting and leading a wolf directly into their room!However, Charlie could not explicitly refuse this kind of thing. Moreover, he did not have a solid reason to refuse.Therefore, even if he was dissatisfied, he could only hide his feelings for the time being.On the other hand, Loreen was extremely ecstatic.If she could truly move into the villa with them, she could spend time with Charlie day and night! In that case, the possibility of her getting together with Charlie was much greater!After a short while, they finally arrived in front o

Early the next morning, Anthony came over to pick Charlie up so that they could head to the Chinese Medicine Expo.Charlie did not expect that the Chinese Medicine Expo would also be held at the Aurous Hill Exhibition and Convention Center that was owned by the Grant family.The last time that he was here, Jason had been very arrogant in front of him. However, at this point, Jason and his father, Justin, had already been turned into ashes, and there were completely no traces of them in this world anymore.This corresponded with the phrase ‘Her face is gone now, where to unknown, yet; peach-bloom beams on a spring winds flow’.As soon as Charlie stepped into the exhibition and convention center, he looked around the building and realized that there were missing person’s notices of Jason and Justin on the walls.The Grant family had already increased the cash reward to thirty million dollars, but there was still no news of the father and son’s whereabouts at all.No matter what it

Just as Jacob was celebrating fooling Raymond, getting his revenge, and earning 200 thousand on top of that, Charlie was left musing to himself on the second floor of the teahouse.He knew that Billy was a conman as soon as he saw him, but he didn't understand why Raymond would buy from Billy.Could the item really be medieval as Raymond stated?As soon as the thought occurred to him, Charlie was sure of it. Given Raymond's knowledge of antiques, there was no way he would mess up in Antique Street of Aurous Hill.While his father-in-law and Zachary had worked hard to weave this elaborate conspiracy, Charlie still wondered how they would take the news that Raymond had bought something worth millions for just 300 thousand.Meanwhile, Raymond watched as Billy left and locked the door from the inside before studying the bronze sculpture once more.He trusted his own judgment that it was a gilded bronze statue from the medieval era. He was playing down its importance since the bronze

Meanwhile, Raymond sighed unhappily. "I really can't afford four hundred grand—like I said, there's not much to offer here in my shop, which I've been investing a lot in. I'd have to pay rent to the owner soon as well, and everything would end terribly for me if I paid that much…"Billy blurted right then, "You said it's medieval and worth millions, didn't you? You'd make a fortune if you sold it!"Raymond sighed again. "Million-dollar antiques aren't that easily sold, and people would be especially skeptical with a small business like mine. I could sell it at an auction too, but that's only happening when someone decides to organize one, not to mention the troublesome appraisal processes it involves.""And right now, I just think it's medieval in terms of style, but I'm no authority in the matter. In the end, it's up to experts and specific groups that would verify it, and if I messed up, it's entirely my loss.""Even if I'm lucky and it's medieval, I'd still have to wait until th

"Invest?!"Billy was left dumbstruck at the term.What even was this fool up to? This definitely wasn't in the script! What about the questions he was supposed to ask? It was like sitting for a grade-schooler test and suddenly being hit with a bar exam!In the car, Jacob blurted out, "What the hell is that bastard thinking? Is he really going to pay 250 thousand?!"Zachary pursed his lips. "Maybe he's just throwing us bait. Think about it—if we took the deal, we'd have to leave a contact number.""After that, he would trick us and say he sold it for ten million and lure us in for the five million. We'd definitely show up, wouldn't we? Once we came, it might turn out that he has called the cops and would even produce\ the bronze sculpture as evidence. Wouldn't we be just shooting ourselves in the foot?"Jacob was left in misery, his face contorting as he pouted, "But you said the cops wouldn't get involved…"Zachary rolled his eyes, "Yes, they wouldn't most of the time since that

However, neither Zachary nor Jacob expected Raymond to confuse them further as he asked Billy, "If you can afford to wait, you can leave the bronze sculpture with me as a consignment. I'll only take 10% off the sales while you get the rest—how about that?"Jacob was stunned and asked Zachary, "What the hell is he up to? Did he get too deep into character?"Zachary shook his head. "I don't get it either… is he trying to keep the bronze sculpture to use as evidence against us?"Jacob frowned. "I thought you said there was a gentleman agreement in this business, and the cops won't really care anyway?"Zachary snorted. "He said he would keep it as a consignment, meaning that he won't spend a dime. What if he told all the antique dealers instead of going to the cops? He would prove that he's sharp, making a name for himself… and what can we do? Do we take back the bronze sculpture? Even if we do, can we really ask for it?'"Fuck!" Jacob swore. "Then what are we waiting for? Tell Billy

In Treasure Measure, even Billy was having a hard time understanding what was going on.Before he came, Zachary made it very clear that he was here to dupe Raymond Cole, and he had come.As such, his job was now to claim that this bronze sculpture which was made in the last century was actually from the Renaissance era and then sell it to Raymond at a cutthroat price.But now, Raymond himself was saying that it was medieval? What was that supposed to mean?Even as he was left confused, he blurted out, "Sir, if you say it's from medieval times… then how much is it worth?"Raymond thought about it and said, "It's quite an unpopular item, but it's not to say that no one would buy it or that no one likes it. The main issue is that there were plenty of wars at that time, and most bronze would be used for weapons. Copper production would be low with rationing as well, so bronze tools were naturally rare for civilians.""Gilding is common for better quality items, and from the northern

Zachary couldn't help pointing at the screen and snapping, "Fucking loser! The more you feel pressed, the less you should be nervous! What are you thinking?! You're falling right under that bastard's trap!"Jacob was frustrated too, growling through his teeth, "Shit! I didn't think that bastard was a sly old fox. Fucking hell!"He then sighed, shaking his head. "Forget it, Zachary—I'm going home to pack my shit, and I'll depart for Dubai first thing tomorrow. Just handle that bronze sculpture for me and wire the money over."As he was about to get off, Zachary sighed in exasperation and apologetically said, "Sorry, Mr. Wilson… but it's fine! Even if this plan screwed up, just let me cook up another plan to destroy Raymond Cole!"Jacob ignored him as he strode out of the car, but that was when Raymond spoke audibly from Zachary's phone, "You can calm down. I'm not accusing you of lying to me. I just think that it's not Renaissance… Rather, it's medieval.""E-Early medieval…?" Billy

In Treasure Measure, Raymond unwrapped the red cloth around the bronze sculpture in front of Billy and the camera.There was a brief flash of surprise on his face, and it was soon gone.Still, he picked up the bronze sculpture, fiddling with it as he asked, "Do you know where it's from?""Yeah," Billy nodded. "A Renaissance-era sculpture. I think the base makes it obvious."Raymond looked up at him and asked in curiosity, "Are you sure about that?"Billy, presuming that Raymond had already noticed a catch, quickly said, "Well, the old man had an expert check it, and the expert said it was immediately obvious! To be honest, I want to sell it because the old man just passed away—gotta sell this baby before my brother goes for a garage sale."He had certainly added more details to the script, and Raymond nodded as he said nonchalantly, "But it doesn't look Renaissance to me. Sculptures from that era—be it the craftsmanship or the unique attributes? It's quite different from this one

In the antique trade, items that raised eyebrows would only be shown in the evenings—when various shops were about to close.That was certainly the case in Antique Street, as most items arriving in the evening were either freshly excavated, stolen, or forgery used to dupe unsuspecting victims.Even if Raymond had started his career abroad, he had learned every last unspoken rule during his earlier stint in Aurous Hill.Seeing the wariness on Billy's face and the way he was holding something in his arms, Raymond knew right away that what he carried wasn't legal.Still, the antique trade was no different here than it was abroad.Tomb raiding, forgery, or adding some touch-ups that increased the value of an item—everyone across the globe pretty much played the same tricks, and Raymond had his fair share of experience.Still, he did not let his wariness show, instead grinning, "Yes, of course. Come on in—let's talk inside!"And with that, he quickly led Billy inside.Meanwhile, bot

"Five hundred grand?"Mick chuckled. "Well, the sculpture looks Renaissance, and the craftsmanship as well as the material are all ideal. It would sell for up to two million in an auction, while established antique traders like us could offer up to a million. So, why the lowball?"Bill sighed. "I won't lie—it belonged to my old man, who just croaked this afternoon. But you see, he left a will stating that every antique in the house would be given to my brother… Since he's playing favorites, I thought I had to get something for myself.""That's why I quietly sneaked this baby out without anyone else knowing and am trying to sell it quickly to change my own circumstances. You don't have to tell me how many millions it's worth—I'm not that greedy. Give me five hundred grand, and it's yours."Mick shrugged as he shot back, "If it's as you say and your old man intended for your brother to have it, the fact that you sneaked it out here makes this theft. Do you think I'd buy stolen proper
