Solomon hurriedly bowed and said, “I’ll leave first then, Mr. Wade!”After saying that, he pulled Tyson up and threw him at his subordinates who were at the back as he instructed, “Keep an eye on him and don’t let him talk nonsense when he goes out later.”“As you command, Mr. Star!” The subordinates replied respectfully, and two of them then stood on Tyson’s left and right to support him as they brought him out of Shawn’s office. At this time, Charlie then said to Serene and the other girl, “You girls should go back too. Remember not to tell anyone about what you saw or heard here today.”Serene nodded repeatedly, and the other girl next to her also nodded repeatedly. Charlie had rescued Serene twice, so naturally, she would not tell anyone about Charlie’s affairs. The other girl who was with Serene was also intimidated by Charlie and therefore, she too would not dare to offend Charlie. After the two girls had left, Shawn could not help but sigh emotionally as he thought to h

Charlie’s words caused Shawn to have a stunned expression.It was the first time he had heard such remarks. If someone else had said these words, he would have scoffed as he would have thought that the other party was just being hypocritical. In Hong Kong, where the entertainment industry was very developed, which rich man would not want to get involved in the entertainment industry and have some scandals with celebrities of the opposite sex? There were even a few who would marry celebrities. However, Charlie felt that it was a disgrace to be related to the entertainment industry, and this was obviously not in line with reality. Still, Shawn thought about it carefully, and he immediately discovered a very surprising fact. In Hong Kong, those who really liked to get involved with celebrities were often the rich heirs.On the contrary, those self-made rich men who had started from nothing never paid any attention to the entertainment industry at all. These cases often hap

As he spoke, he could hear the faint whirring of the airplane engine over the phone on Kathleen’s end of the line. So, he asked, “Miss Fox, are you on the plane now?” “Yes.” Kathleen hurriedly said, “I was just about to report to you that I’m also rushing over to Hong Kong with Jarvis in order to ensure that Mr. Campbell’s repatriation is foolproof. Our plane is expected to arrive in Hong Kong at 2:30 pm. Although we will be landing half an hour later, since Mr. Campbell will have to go through the handover procedure at customs, we should be leaving the customs one step ahead of Mr. Campbell.”Charlie could not help but sigh as he said, “Miss Fox, you’ve already helped me a lot in this matter. There’s no need for you to go through so much trouble.”Kathleen said without hesitation, “Mr. Wade, you’re being too serious. You have been so kind to me, and this is the only thing that I can do for you. How could it be any trouble at all?”In truth, Kathleen also knew that since Charlie w

When Shawn heard Charlie agreeing to his request, he was inwardly excited beyond measure. The richest people he had ever met in his life were the Laine family from Hong Kong.However, the Laine family was nothing compared to the Fox family.Therefore, Shawn felt that it would be a huge breakthrough for himself if he could have the opportunity to get acquainted with the Fox family. So, he said happily to Charlie with great enthusiasm, “Mr. Wade, we will go to the restaurant for lunch later. I’ll ask my wife to go over and make all the preparations in advance first. Marianne will also be coming over to join us for lunch. After we’re done eating lunch, I will get my wife to come with me to bring you to the airport to meet Miss Fox!”Charlie nodded and said, “That sounds like a reasonable arrangement. We will do as you’ve said, then.”Shawn smiled and asked again, “By the way, Mr. Wade, where is Miss Fox going to stay when she comes to Hong Kong this time? I remember that the Fox f

Anyway, his battle with Shawn would begin the moment Janus came out of the airport customs in the afternoon. So, there was nothing wrong with having Shawn’s wife around to witness it.However, Charlie did not want Marianne to tag along.After all, after getting along with Charlie over the past two days, he had gotten to know Marianne better. He did not want her to have to personally witness his conflict with her own father. What’s more, Charlie had been concealing something when he came to Hong Kong and approached Shawn this time. So, he too did not want to tear off his disguise in front of Marianne. According to his plan, he would no longer have any further contact with Shawn and the Long family after dealing with all the problems properly at the airport. His intersection with Marianne would also come to an end after this meal.Marianne did not know what Charlie was thinking. She had originally hoped that she would be able to go together with them, and it did not matter who the

2:00 pm.Janus’s flight landed at Hong Kong Airport on time.At this time, Janus was sitting in the window seat, and he had mixed feelings.He had been away from Hong Kong for too long, and the scenery outside the window no longer felt familiar to him. The only thing that he was familiar with was the traditional characters of the Hong Kong dialect that could be seen everywhere. These traditional characters of the Hong Kong dialect reminded him that he had finally returned to his hometown after twenty years. However, what he regretted was that he probably would not have the opportunity to get reacquainted with Hong Kong which he had left behind for twenty years now. His life would probably begin entering a countdown the moment he landed in Hong Kong.At this time, a male flight attendant came over to him and reminded him, “Mr. Campbell, according to the regulations, you should not get off the plane immediately. You’ll have to wait for all the other passengers to get off the plan

Meanwhile, Charlie, Shawn, and Jenna had also arrived at Hong Kong Airport. The convoy stopped outside the arrival hall of Hong Kong Airport, and Shawn then said to Charlie excitedly, “Mr. Wade, Miss Fox should be arriving soon, right?”Charlie looked at the time and said indifferently, “Almost. There are ten more minutes.”Shawn smiled and asked, “Do you think we should wait in the car or wait inside?”Charlie said casually, “Go inside and wait.”After saying that, he opened the car door first and got out of the car.Shawn was about to get out of the car when the driver turned around and said in a low voice, “Boss, I’ve just received news that Janus has already entered customs.” “Oh, he has already arrived?” Shawn nodded and muttered, “To be honest, I would really like to meet that b*stard and see what f*cking state he is in now... But my wife is here today, so it’d be better for us to try not to meet him.”The driver hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade said that Miss Fox will be arri
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4556
Although Shawn and Jenna had already reached the tip of the pyramid in Hong Kong, they were still far behind in terms of the world.The strength of the Fox family was already no longer on the list of ordinary rich people. Instead, their strength already belonged to that of the hidden top wealthy families. Their comprehensive strength was countless times stronger compared to Shawn. Kathleen was also the head of the Fox family, and this was even more unattainable to Shawn and Jenna. At this moment, their mentality was that of the mentality of the richest man in a small county who had finally gotten the opportunity to meet with the richest man in the country. In addition to being extremely excited, they were also inevitably nervous at this time. On the contrary, Charlie was in a very relaxed state, and he had his hands in his pockets as he swaggered into the arrival hall.Many people had come to pick others up in the arrival hall at this time, but Jenna did not put on her sunglass

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

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6478
Soon, the video of Mick's staged act was uploaded to the online group, and everyone eagerly watched it as soon as it was done uploading.Mick certainly set a new bar with his acting as none of them could see that it was an act.Moreover, everyone could see that the bronze sculpture looked like the real deal, and they might have been swindled if it were them.As such, they couldn't help being impressed as Mick had easily seen through Billy's con, and he was the definition of a pro in that video.No matter how Billy had packaged it, there was no tricking real experts like Mick Crane. Just a quick glance and he had seen through that it was a postmodern replica, matched with a base from the Renaissance era to misdirect and beguile.With that, many fellow antique dealers changed their opinion of Mick.After all, Vintage Deluxe's business had been declining after Mick took over as manager, and people were presuming that his skills were lacking.But now, they were all shown that he had

"Amazing, Mr. Crane!""It's Mr. Crane who shines through, in the end! His eyes see through everything!""I guess Miss Moore made the right choice firing Raymond and appointing Mr. Crane! Mr. Crane is infinitely better!"Mick was immediately thrilled to see them fawning over him, and he laughed, "You flatter me—I'm merely sharing my personal perspective on this. In this trade, anyone who knows would understand how hard it is to get the good stuff in this age of technology.""There are plenty of people who hold ulterior motives and change their tactics knowing that there are always those scheming to get their hands on vintage treasures, so they just have to make it. That is how they started making counterfeits of everything, from scrolls to sculptures to statues, each of them so real just to trick those fools who think they could get rich overnight!""Exactly!" Someone promptly agreed. "There's never a lack of any such fools, and I just happened to meet one. I had this piece of jade

In groups like these, any gossip would immediately spread like wildfire as people share everything here with their other circles.Within minutes of these people's good work, Antique Street was abuzz even as the skies darkened: one of the antique traders had been swindled for 300 thousand, and it was Raymond Cole—the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe at that!Some of them wondered when Raymond had actually returned while others were laughing.He was supposed to be the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe, but he had messed up as well? You had to be kidding!Many were dumbstruck too—how would Raymond survive in Antique Street after losing so much money? It had been so long since such a major scam had been pulled!As such, all the antique dealers were asking one question: how did Raymond Cole get fooled?Meanwhile, Mick didn't leak the security footage right away, instead sending his people out to spread the news in other channels, claiming that Raymond thought he had won big by

Mick had already clipped the security footage and was waiting for Zachary's word.He had checked the footage repeatedly as well and was only getting more impressed with his masterful acting by the second. He looked just like a maestro, and every detail he mentioned was flawless and showed experience.Zacahry even said that Raymond had truly slipped up with that bronze sculpture, leaving him endlessly thrilled.The proverbial missing piece of the puzzle was here!Hence, calling all the staff he trusted, he told them excitedly, "Spread the word right away—Raymond Cole slipped up, spending 300 thousand on a fake Renaissance-era bronze sculpture!"His staff had no idea of the conspiracy involved, only that Mick had said that someone had tried to sell a counterfeit bronze sculpture but he had seen through it right away and chased him away, only for Raymond to end up buying the fake bronze sculpture soon after.Someone asked, "Mr. Crane, don't you think Raymond Cole bought from the man
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6474
Raymond had said everything he should and shouldn't and with complete sincerity exactly because Billy would never believe it.As Billy just wanted to swindle him, it didn't matter how sincere Raymond was—he wanted the 300 thousand whatever it took. The key here was that Billy had refused a better prospect when told it was possible, and there was evidence that would support Raymond if either he or Zachary realized the truth and came to start trouble.That meant Raymond had nothing to worry about—they could take this to the United Nations but he'd still win this case.Having been in the antique trade for so long, he had seen every form of oddity and was always cautious with people, considering every aspect of any issue.Hence, once he downloaded the security footage to his phone, Raymond decided that he needed to sell the bronze sculpture—not because he was in urgent need of money, but because he realized that there were those who wanted him out of Aurous Hill's Antique Street.Afte
