Meanwhile, Martha had just woken up in the car.Jalen and Kyler had taken turns driving overnight, and they had only driven a thousand kilometers. Now, they were still more than two thousand kilometers away from the United States and Mexico border.According to Martha’s plan, she wanted the two men to drive all the way to El Paso, Texas, and then enter Mexico by land.Martha, who had been sleeping in the rocky car all night, was still somewhat in a daze because she hadn’t slept well. She suddenly recalled the time when she had first come to the United States. In the first two years of her arrival in the United States, although she had used a fake identity, she had really worked hard and conscientiously. Although the money she had made at that time was far from wealthy in the United States, since she had been working as a nanny, her accommodation and food had all been covered by her employer. Therefore, all the money that she had earned could be sent back home, and she had mana

At that time, this transaction had far exceeded the local market price, and the buyers were initially dissuaded by the high price.However, Martha was very smart.She could see the couple’s desperate hope for a child, and she also saw that the one-year-old child somewhat resembled the man. So, she had described the child’s appearance to the couple based on the child’s facial features, saying that the child would definitely grow up to resemble the man. In addition, the resourceful Martha had also tugged at the couple’s greatest pain and hope; because of the resemblance, as long as they took the child with them to live in a different place, no one would suspect that the child had been bought when he grew up. Even if they were to bring the child back to their hometown in Oskia after three or five years, no one would suspect that it was not their own child.Moreover, Martha had also told the couple that unlike adopted children, the child that she had brought was not even a week old ye

Just then, her eldest son suddenly called her. As soon as the call was connected, he asked in a flattering manner from the other end of the line, “Mom, are you up yet?”Martha said indifferently, “I’d have been woken up by this phone call even if I was not up yet, so speak up and say what you want to say.”Her eldest son chuckled and hurriedly said, “Mom, do you still remember Saul, who lives next to our house?”“Yes.” Martha asked him, “What’s wrong with him?”Her eldest son laughed hesitantly and said, “Well, nothing’s wrong with him. It’s just... It’s just that...”Martha said coldly, “Speak up if you have something to say. If you don’t know how to say it, I’ll hang up first, then.”Her eldest son hurriedly said, “Don’t! Don’t hang up! Mom, I’ll tell you the truth. I got Saul’s daughter pregnant, and it has already been more than three months. I said that I would give his daughter a hundred thousand dollars to abort the child, but she is unwilling to do so. She wants to give b

Martha’s words gave her eldest son great encouragement.Her eldest son, who was on the other end of the line, could not hide his excitement and said, “Mom, I’m really relieved to hear you say this!”Martha snorted coldly and said, “Let me tell you, you’d better stop fooling around outside anymore in the future. This is especially so with people such as Saul’s daughters! Their level is too low!”Her eldest son hurriedly asked, “Mom, what do you mean when you say that their level is too low? What is it? I don’t understand!”Martha felt resentful because her eldest son could not live up to her expectations and said, “I told you to study harder! I’ve been away for more than twenty f*cking years now, but you don’t even understand what level is. You’re really useless!”Her eldest son laughed and said, “People say that there is an excess of yin which leads to yang deficiency. Mom, you can support our whole family by yourself, so I’m naturally not as capable as you are...”Martha’s mood

Jalen was dumbfounded and said awkwardly, “Martha, it’s not as evil as you make it out to be...”Martha said expressionlessly, “I don’t know if there is such evil or not. People say that you should not put all your eggs in one basket, but the main point is that you cannot have only one egg. If you have enough eggs, God would also be tired if He were to smash them one by one. Besides, He would also feel numb and indifferent if he smashed too many eggs, and maybe He would stop, then.”The other three were all shocked when they heard this.They dared not imagine that Martha was actually referring to her own children and grandchildren when she spoke of these so-called eggs. What she meant was that even if God were to collect her children and grandchildren one by one, He would also be very tired. If He collected more, he might even miss out on one or two and leave them behind. Martha did not take the three people’s shock to heart. Instead, she merely asked lightly, “How long will it

Danny, who weighed more than two hundred pounds, never would have dreamt that the police would come looking for him one day.Danny had always felt that his mother was a person with great ability. She had a way to make a lot of money in the United States, and he only needed to exchange her US dollars to Oskian dollars in Oskia and then enjoy prosperity and wealth. He did not bother to worry about whether his mother’s money came from the right means or whether their own private exchange of foreign currency was illegal or a crime.So, he asked the police with a surprised expression, “What do you mean by that? What do you mean when you say I’m suspected of money laundering? What money did I launder?”The police said coldly, “We have sufficient evidence to prove that all the assets you and your brother own are illegal gains obtained through illegal currency exchange! We also have evidence to prove that you’re laundering money for an offshore criminal organization!”“What?!” Danny said

As soon as the eldest daughter-in-law heard that she might be sentenced to prison, she was scared out of her wits.The second daughter-in-law had a weak personality. So, when she heard this, she was so frightened that she fell to the ground.The eldest daughter-in-law also lost her shrewd attitude from earlier and quickly cried out as she asked the police officer, “So, what should we do now? You have arrested all the men in our family, so should we and our kids wait to die, then?!”The police officer immediately said, “Don’t worry. I will notify your neighborhood committee immediately to pay attention to your situation so that you will not have any needs in life. The neighborhood committee will definitely help you solve your problems, but it’s just as I’ve said, and you must understand what is legal and what is illegal first. There are already three criminal suspects in your family, so don’t push yourself down the path of breaking the law again!” After saying that, the police offi

“What?!” Martha only felt extremely shocked at this moment.She hurriedly asked, “Why did the police arrest them? Did they mention the reason why?”At this moment, Martha kept praying to God in her heart as she hoped that her husband and two sons would have been taken away by the police because of gambling, prostitution, or something else.It would not even matter if they were taken away by the police because of murder. But no matter what it was, it should not be money laundering!This was because murder would be nothing to fuss about!It would not matter even if any one of her two sons or husband were sentenced to death or even if all three of them were sentenced to death. After all, there would be a day when they would come out sooner or later. However, everything would really be over if it was a money laundering crime!That would mean that all the assets that she had worked hard for over so many years would be seized in accordance with the law!More than half of her life’

Zachary chuckled and continued, "Well, I went to Antique Street and asked around. Turns out our mutual friend only brought a few hundred thousand grand with him. If he messes up and loses all his money, won't it be over for him?""He won't just be broke either—he'd be humiliated and forced to fuck off from Antique Street. You'd get even then!"Jacob was at once excited.Just yesterday, Claire and Charlie were warning him that assault meant doing time.As the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and the next presidential-hopeful, he would lose his place if he was charged with assault or being an accessory to a case.However, Zachary's plan was much better. Jacob wouldn't have to take responsibility, and the damage on Raymond would be even worse!In comparison, slapping Raymond meant nothing. Watching him go broke and get humiliated would really ease his heart!With that in mind, he promptly pressed Zachary, "Are you sure that prick will mess up?""I can't a

Jacob Wilson was in his office at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, planning his itinerary in Dubai.Still, he was immediately thrilled when Zachary told him that there was progress, and he quickly said, "Come see me at the Calligraphy and Painting Association. We'll talk in my office!""Alright!" Zachary agreed to it happily. "Just wait, Mr. Wilson. I'll be right there!"Jacob then quickly told him, "By the way, remember to address me as the vice president when you're here. Got it?"Zachary was naturally sharp enough to understand why, especially around other members of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.Smiling, he said, "Don't worry, chief. You can always be at ease when I'm on the job!"Once he hung up, he drove to the Calligraphy and Painting Association at top speed.There were just a dozen people around the dozens of work cubicles although Zachary was curious about the personal effects or office tools in the cubicles.After asking around, a staff member le

Then, Mick continued, "I won't lie—Moore Group's bean counters have been eager to get rid of Vintage Deluxe for a while now. It's only Miss Moore's insistence that keeps them at bay, even occasionally coming to check on how business is going. That means she holds sentiment for this place, but if she knows that Raymond is back and doing well, she might hire him again!"Zachary could laugh right then. After all, Mick was terrible at gathering information—he could worry about anyone taking his palace, but not Raymond. The man was fired because he had insulted Master Wade's father in-law, and Miss Moore was endlessly respectful—even obedient to Master Wade. There was no chance that she would hire Raymond back after what he had done, and Mick was just being paranoid.However, Zachary did not tell Mick that.As Mick was begging him to intervene and thus owing him big time, he would also be helping Jacob Wilson get even.Two birds with one stone, so why not?With that in mind, Zachar

Zachary then said, "By the way, I have some friends who have a lot of stock. How much capital do you have, Mr. Cole? I'll check if they have stuff that suits you, and you can partner with them."When Zachary asked how much capital, he was basically asking Raymond how much he would invest in his own business and how much he could spend on taking new stock as he was buying.As such, Raymond replied modestly, "I've been chasing my tail for a while, so I didn't earn more than a few hundred thousand. I definitely would have no issue taking items with rebates, but I'm afraid I can't afford premiums.""Alright!" Zachary nodded, having discerned the scale of Zachary's capital."I'll check on what's available and see if we can get a few personal deals."Raymond nodded. "Thank you, Zachary!"Zachary smiled, shaking his head. "Mr. Crane, please buy another fruit basket for Mr. Cole—I'll pay you later."Mick quickly said, "Oh, you don't have to, Mr. Evans! It's my pleasure, no worries!"Zach

With the last stroke, Raymond got on a ladder to reach the old signboard, pasting the banner over the old shop sign.Then, he added a notice by the entrance: We buy all antiques and measure all treasures.As soon as the makeshift sign and notice were up, Mick was the first to arrive with a fruit basket to celebrate the occasion.The instant they met, he greeted Raymond warmly, "Ah, Mr. Cole! You sure are efficient—you just came back yesterday evening, and you're already setting up shop today at noon!"Raymond smiled, "Doing a small business by myself is naturally much quicker."Mick shook his head disapprovingly as he put the fruit basket by the door, "Now, now. Don't be a stranger, Mr. Cole—almost everyone in Antique Street is a friend, but you didn't tell the gang when you opened the shop! It'd hype things up when everyone comes bringing you gifts!"Raymond quickly shook his head. "Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't know if this humble trade will last. It's better to keep m

To not lose three months' worth of rent on top of that, Donald called over the owner at top speed while getting some of the friends in the antique trade to appraise what merchandise he had left.Taking losses had always been the hardest pill to swallow, but once the decision was made, there really was nothing that couldn't be given up.The owner was plenty pleased as well since that meant someone was picking up on his rental. He promptly had Donald sign the agreement transferring the last three months for the rental to Raymond while signing a new rental contract with Raymond.Raymond didn't have to pay up immediately either—he just had to start paying rent to the owner once Donald's three-month rent was up.Once the agreement was signed, every stall owner as well as owners of businesses resembling the Pearl House swarmed the premises.After all, they loved to take stock from people in the same line of business. Once a business owner decided to close shop, they wouldn't be bothered

If Donald had to maintain his business under such circumstances, the next three months would be even worse.Hence, instead of doing that, he really wanted to stop this business altogether.As for what remaining merchandise, he'd just get some fellow in the same business to take them off his hands at a lower cost while he gained his freedom sooner.Hence, he stopped Raymond, "Wait, my friend! Let's talk about this… if the hundred fifty grand transfer fee is too much for you, why don't I cut it down even more—say, a hundred grand instead?"Raymond turned and told him solemnly, "I'm not paying a transfer fee at all."Frustrated, Donald blurted, "At least give me ten grand for my troubles! My shop is good—you'd definitely make bank once you take it off my hands!"Raymond thought about it and eventually said, "How about this—if you can clear up the place by the end of the day, I will pay you five grand on top of the forty five grand that is your remaining rent, but not one cent more."

The reasoning was simple too—with businesses failing, most shops were losing money.With months left on Donald's rental contract, all he could do now was keep his business afloat while attempting to transfer the rental to someone else. At the same time, he must be prepared for the situation where no one would rent it from him, and he must honor his contract to the very last second.With the losses he had sustained up until the contract expires, he definitely wouldn't extend it. That meant packing up to leave while returning everything to the owner to claim the deposit that the owner was holding.Even now that he was asking for a transfer fee, his mindset was to get whatever he could get. By the last month, Donald would naturally give up on such pipe dreams regardless.Still, when Raymond saw the lack of merchandise in the shop, he could tell Donald's business was at its final stretch. What little he sold would serve to recuperate his losses, and there was no chance in hell he would

Elaine thought that it would be fine even if Jacob couldn't put aside his pride so soon.Right now, she had become more considerate of Jacob and could understand that men valued their pride. As such, she could just wait until they went traveling together, and they'd definitely be staying in the same room. With that, it would be more natural for them to share a room together again when they return.-Early the next day, Raymond arrived at Antique Street, coming over from an express hotel nearby.Although he had asked Trippy to look for a shop, he knew that Trippy might not really help him—he had to rely on himself for everything.But during his stroll yesterday afternoon, he had noticed plenty of shops that were being offered on rent or sublease. Business in Antique Street was likely poor, so Raymond came early to make inquiries about the rented properties.When Oskia's antique market was at its peak, Antique Street too enjoyed its golden age. Even now, the eyes of any antique p
