There were many insurance and financial services companies worldwide. However, only a handful of them could afford to build a skyscraper in Manhattan, where land was expensive. Ark Group was among said handful. The Acker family started their business in Los Angeles, but they grew bigger after they expanded to Silicon Valley and New York.Many years ago, Ashley invested in a large number of companies with great potential in Silicon Valley at a very low price. In order to better help these investments in their capital planning, the Acker family went to the financial center of the United States, New York, and built the core of their family’s business there. The Acker family had many subsidiaries under their group, which also included investment companies. However, Ark Group remained the Acker family’s core business. After the establishment of Ark Group, Ashley merged her investment funds in Silicon Valley into Ark Group. Ark Group suddenly became the country’s largest Internet vent

Everyone was stunned by Keith’s sudden anger, and looked at each other in dismay.They knew Keith could never get over it. He couldn’t understand why Curtis insisted on returning to Eastcliff. The Acker family was powerful enough to keep him and were sincere towards him, yet Curtis staunchly refused to stay. Even so, everyone knew how egoistical Keith could get. When dealing with Curtis, he was always arrogant and unyielding. He was akin to a superior eager to poach a good talent. He was willing to pay ten million or more for a talent who could only make one million in another company.In his view, the other party had no reason to reject him.He never imagined that Curtis would be unwilling to accept his offer and ended up rejecting him. The thought frustrated and infuriated Keith to no end.Initially, Keith admired Curtis very much. Curtis’s family might be less significant than the Acker family, but Curtis had potential in him. He could be better than Keith’s three sons combi

Holly sighed, helpless.She solemnly reminded her father, “Keith, I have to make this clear to you. I can’t curb your hatred for Curtis, but you have to change how you feel about him.” Keith, however, remained stubborn and lost his temper. “No! I won’t change! Even if I die, I won’t change how I feel about Curtis!”At that, Holly grew furious. “Good! Keep acting stubborn and don’t change, Dad! When Charlie comes home, the family will mention Ashley and Curtis. How about you say all that to him? He’ll definitely sever all ties with you after hearing what you’ve said about his father. If you send my grandson away, I’ll cut ties with you too! Just wait and see!”Keith’s anger immediately dissipated as Holly’s warning hit him.He knew it was unlikely for Holly to cut ties with him, but it was different with his grandson. Charlie might not forgive him if he insisted on hating Curtis. After all, no children could bear to hear others humiliating their late parents.As Keith thought of

Listening to Merlin’s reply, Keith sensed there were a lot of stories behind Merlin’s hardships.Keith said, “It’s alright, I don’t mind listening. We can have a long chat at the table later.” Keith had just recovered from a close brush with death. He had serious memory problems, and he was wholly unaware of the current happenings in the United States.However, he understood Merlin well and knew Merlin to be a stubborn brat who couldn’t admit defeat. Therefore, he found himself getting more and more curious about what Merlin had to say. Merlin knew it was impossible to explain everything to Keith with just a few words. Therefore, he said vaguely, “Alright, Uncle Keith. I shouldn’t bother you with my troubles. Why don’t I join you for a couple of drinks later?”At this, Holly said, “Merlin, you mustn't drink with Keith. If Keith drinks again, I’m afraid he might not even recognize me!”“Right, right, right.” Merlin realized what he had just said and hurriedly amended his words.

Christian explained, “The cost of replacing a carpet like this only accounts for a small proportion of assets in our family. It’s the same as you changing a new garbage bag for your trash can. Do you feel distressed when you change the garbage bag?”“F*ck...” Merlin smacked his lips and grumbled, “You people are disgusting.” Christian sulked. “I’m just telling the truth.”They gradually moved to the dining area as they talked. Keith invited Merlin to sit next to him.Kaeden had informed the staff in advance. As soon as everyone was seated, the staff immediately served the prepared meals one after another. Kaeden offered a bottle of whiskey, wanting to have a few rounds of drinks with Merlin and Christian.Keith appeared concerned about how Merlin was currently doing and kept asking the latter about his latest troubles.Merlin, however, refused to elaborate any further and only gave Keith vague explanations pertaining to several unresolved major cases that had been going on l

The confirmation of Janus’s identity disappointed Merlin somewhat.He looked forward to hearing some unusual information, the kind that made people feel that something must be going on.However, he dispelled his doubt about Janus after receiving the news from his informant. As an old detective, he knew that a person could disguise the present well, but not their past.Many criminals might be successful at clearing their names and becoming successful figures. However, most of the time, many were eventually apprehended for their past crimes. With the revelation of Janus’s long history from about three decades ago, it was enough to explain his relationship with Quinn Golding. There was nothing wrong with Quinn having a meal at his restaurant. It was perfectly normal.When Quinn was having a meal there, she happened to overhear Christian talking about Keith’s illness. It made sense that she traveled far just to deliver medicine.Merlin also found a reason as to why Janus deliberatel

Shawn had a lot of romantic affairs in Hong Kong over the years. All the women who had a relationship with him praised him as a rare good gentleman, even if they parted ways in the end.There were many rich and romantic people all around, but it was almost impossible to find a man like him.It was late at night in Hong Kong, and Shawn was in his study, dressed in a nightgown. It was then when he discovered the latest information about Janus from his butler, Ken.As he flipped through the information, his face gradually turned sour. He sneered, “I’ve been searching for him for years. I didn’t expect him to be running a restaurant in Oskiatown, of all places! Just look at him now! He looks so haggard. Even if I run into him, I definitely won’t recognize him!”Ken said, “Sir, Janus hid well. I heard he has hardly shaved for two decades and let his hair grow out. His temperament had become more reserved and restrained. If the police in the United States didn’t investigate him, it’ll be

At the same time, in Oskiatown, New York.Janus’s restaurant was doing well because it was lunchtime. Him and his staff were busy going around to and fro as they served the customers. All the while, Janus had been quietly looking out the door.Ever since this morning, he noticed something strange. There was always a random car parked across the road in front of the shop. To top it off, the other party had changed four cars and parked at different spots. Although they were parked differently, Janus knew they could all see the main entrance of his restaurant.This knowledge made him a little anxious. He was restless.He knew the New York police must be after him.Being targeted by the police made Janus even more nervous. Meanwhile, one of his staff noticed that he had been acting strangely. “What’s the matter, sir?”“I’m fine…” Janus replied. “Get on with your work and just let me be.”The staff member nodded. “If you’re tired, take a break. I can work alone.” Janus was pleased

With that in mind, Raymond quickly understood what had happened—Charlie must have been informed of the entire story and was intent on teaching Zachary, Mick Crane, and Jacob a lesson.Hence, he smiled at Zachary, "You really didn't have to apologize about that. I should be thanking you gentlemen since business isn't exactly booming in Antique Street, and I couldn't ask for more, opening up with such a grand deal."Zachary felt like he had been slapped in the face, but he was also relieved that Raymond wasn't pressing the issue, so he said earnestly, "Don't worry, Mr. Cole—I won't ever meddle with your business or conspire against you again. However, I won't hesitate to answer if you ever call on me!"Also, you have nothing to worry about—we will return the full amount of the 300 thousand we got from you. Please forgive us and don't charge us with anything else…"Raymond pulled him to his feet, smiling as he said, "After a conflict comes friendship. Do drop by more often if you have

At the moment, Treasure Measure was congested as crowds of people were there to congratulate Raymond on his new business or ask for appraisals of their items.Zachary stood at the door, hesitating for a moment before steeling himself and entering.Many in Aurous Hill's Antique Streett knew him and also knew that he wasn't the man he was before, so many greeted him the instant he entered, each person more respectful the next.Zachary was left sweating, only realizing then that he had really messed up and didn't deserve the privilege that Master Wade and Don Albert had given him.His eyes fixed on Raymond, and he went over, feeling very embarrassed.Seeing him, Raymond presumed that he was going to do it himself after his men had failed to recover the bronze sculpture, and he asked warily, "To what do I owe the pleasure, Zachary?"Zachary suddenly dropped to one knee, exclaiming in regret, "Mr. Cole, I'm sorry!"Raymond was frowning as he thought Zachary was up to more tricks, but

Mick was utterly hopeful as he watched the Moore Group human resource manager return, believing that he had turned things around.However, as soon as the human resource manager sat down, he immediately said, "Apologies, Mr. Crane. It seems that it's not just the significant losses you've incurred for the company—you are now also found guilty of personal misconduct, specifically unethical business stratagems. As per the company's wishes, your labor contract is terminated immediately."Mick certainly didn't think that telling the truth had failed to resolve the significant losses part, and he was now slapped with personal misconduct on top of that.Bracing himself, he asked the human resource manager, "But what did Ms. Moore say? She's close friends with Don Albert, and everyone involved in this are friends, anyway…"The human resource manager shook his head and said coolly, "Save your breath, Mr. Crane. The issue has been decided without grounds for further discussion. The notice of

With those words, Mick whipped out his phone, holding it in front of the Moore Group human resource manager and showing his chat records with Zachary as well as the script he had sent."I know words don't mean much, but here's the chat records between myself and Zachary Evans! See for yourself!"At this point, Mick had to do whatever he could.After all, Don Albert was a friend of Jasmine Moore, and the chat records would prove that he hadn't made a blunder and was merely following a staged act that Zachary had planned.From a certain point of view, he was implicating Zachary and Don Albertas as well, but he really had no choice but to bet everything on it.The human resource manager was actually frowning after seeing the chat records too, surprised that something like this had happened, with Don Albert's henchman being involved too.Eyeing Mick, he said, "Hold on. I'll make a call."Seeing that the human resource manager was taking him seriously, Mick felt hope once more as the

Considering how Elaine had had the guts to wire away twenty billion dollars, heaven knows how much worse she would be now if Charlie hadn't taught her a lesson to remember.-Just as Zachary was rushing to Antique Street, Mick finally appeared before the Moore Group human resources manager.The Moore Group human resource manager drew out a document envelope and slid it to him, cutting to the chase right away. "This is your termination notice as you have inflicted significant monetary losses and tarnished the reputation of the company. With those as our legal basis, we are unconditionally annulling your employment contract."Delegate any tasks you have and pack up all personal effects, and you can leave by the end of the day. Your remaining salary will be counted until today and wired to your account on the tenth of the next month as is customary for employees of the company."Mick was left thunderstruck, and he blurted, "That's against labor laws! I didn't cause any loss—all I did

Zachary nodded, exclaiming respectfully, "Yes, Master Wade! I understand now!"Charlie nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Then, I will see how you do."Remembering Jacob again, Zachary then said awkwardly, "There's something else, Master Wade. Mr. Wilson is on a flight heading to Dubai, and he warned me that he expects me to retrieve the bronze sculpture when he lands. He said he'd be asking for your help if I failed…""Doesn't matter," Charlie told him. "I'll get him to back off when the time comes. Also, toughen up when he comes to you again—don't yield to him for my sake, or in time, he'll forget his place and stray further."Pausing, Charlie then continued, "So, I'm telling you, Zachary—you're lucky no one lost anything this time. Or if Raymond really lost a few hundred thousand and pressed the issue, you'd both be going to jail!"Zachary was really traumatized then, and he promptly made himself clear, "Don't worry, Master Wade! I'll ignore Mr. Wilson if he comes to me again! No m

At this point, Zachary wasn't afraid of being exposed—he was afraid of Charlie and Don Albert kicking him to the curb.As such, when Charlie told him to expose his own wrongdoing and apologize personally to Raymond, he felt salvation.Sobbing, he said, "Thank you for forgiving me, Master Wade! From now on, I will keep myself grounded—no more cheeky tricks, I swear on my life!"Still, Charlie asked, "I told you to apologize—when did I say you're forgiven?""What…?" Zachary blurted. "B-But the way you put it, it was as if you were going to spare me…"Charlie sighed. "You are smart, Zachary—like I said, you should use that smartness in the right way. Understand?""Yes, yes, I understand!" Zachary promptly replied."Good," Charlie said quietly. "I can understand that such plots are normal for when you worked in Antique Street, what with defrauding and deception being the rules for survival. But you're no longer working there now, so your mistake is breaking the rules."While Raymon

Charlie was at the Champs Elys hot spring villa, and while surprised for a moment as to why Zachary was calling him, he soon had an inkling why.Answering his call, he chuckled, "To what do I owe the pleasure, Zachary?"Zachary's tone was at once fearful and remorseful. "Master Wade, I've called to apologize to you…""Apologize for what?" Charlie asked despite knowing the answer.Zachary sighed, his voice choking with tears, "Master Wade, I must have lost my mind… When I found out that Raymond Cole had returned, I remembered that he had hurt your father-in-law and that your father-in-law must still be holding a grudge. So, I reached out and tried to hatch a plot for revenge, but it all went south…."With that, Zachary told Charlie everything without missing a single detail.And Charlie listened, after which he asked, "So, Zachary—you never thought to tell me before, during, and after you succeeded in your plot, yet now you're telling me when everything has spiraled beyond your co

Zachary was already shaking with rage and promptly bellowed, "How fucking impressive, Cardensky! But let me give it to you straight: that bronze sculpture was sold for 300 thousand to Raymond Cole, so it's not just you—Mr. Montague wants it too!""If you want it back, ask Raymond Cole yourself—but don't blame me for not warning you, Vintage Deluxe's Mick Crane was already humiliated because of your so-called forgery and might be fired as we speak. Not only that, but he thinks it's all my fault and wants me out so that I will go down with him."But what a coincidence it is, because I think this is all your fault! So, if he rats me out, I'm ratting you out as well! We will all just die together!"Also, you know that I know where you work. If the cops get involved, I'm leading them right to you. So, don't blame me for being unreasonable—it's all your fault for being blind. If you actually had any skill, you'd have kept that bronze sculpture for yourself and gotten rich with it. But the
