At half past seven in the morning, Charlie pretended that he had just woken up. After washing up, he went out to buy something before he came home.Claire hurriedly headed to her office after eating breakfast. After that, Elaine put down the dishes before she dragged her husband, Jacob, out to visit the villa at Thompson First with her. She was already starting to lose her patience since it was taking such a long time for the renovations at the villa to be completed.Jacob was very unwilling to go and he tried to persuade her, “There are several floors in the villa and it adds up to more than a thousand square meters. The renovation and decorating job for the villa must be really very laborious. It should probably take more than half a year for them to be done with the renovation works. It’s useless even if you are anxious.”Elaine replied in a dissatisfied manner, “I don’t care! I have already lived in this broken house for long enough. If the renovations aren’t completed by next m

At this time, Jeffrey and Liam were stopped by the staff of Serene World Clinic.“Excuse me, did you make an appointment for your visit today?”The guy asked as he looked at Jeffrey very vigilantly.He had never seen Jeffrey before and there had been too many messy and inappropriate people coming to Serene World Clinic to look for Anthony in the past two days. Therefore, the young man did not dare to let anyone in so casually.Jeffrey hurriedly replied, “Hello, young brother. I am Jeffrey, the young lord of the Weaver family. Please inform the genius doctor, Dr. Simmons, that I admit I must have offended him at the Chinese Medical Expo the other day. The reason I’m here today is to apologize to Dr. Simmons and I really hope that he’ll be able to give me an opportunity to apologize to him in person.”The young man replied coldly, “Dr. Simmons has said he won’t be seeing anyone who does not have an appointment with him! So, please leave immediately!”“You should at least be speakin

After he was done speaking, Anthony turned around as he was ready to chase them away.Jeffrey panicked and started begging, “I’m really sorry for what I did, Dr. Simmons. I know that it was my mistake. It’s my fault. I have no complaints at all if you want to hit or scold me. It’s just that the Weaver family has encountered a huge crisis this time. Could you really bear to see the Weaver family completely destroyed just like that?”Anthony replied coldly, “Sorry, but I’m not that familiar with you at all. Moreover, your family has nothing to do with me. Please leave immediately.”As soon as he heard Anthony’s words, Jeffrey hurriedly snatched the brocade box from Liam before he handed it over to Anthony and said respectfully, “Dr. Simmons, this is just a token of my appreciation. It is a piece of Hetian jade worth more than five million dollars! Please accept it!”Anthony did not even look at the so-called Hetian jade before he said unceremoniously, “Don’t tell me how it’s worth fi

When the staff member saw that Liam had entered Serene World Clinic again, he scowled before he said, “Why are you back here again? Please leave now! You are not welcomed here!”Liam begged, “Brother, I have something that I’d like to say to Dr. Simmons in person. I’ll leave as soon as I say my words.”The staff member frowned before he said, “Dr. Simmons has already said that he does not want to see you. Why are you still being so thick-skinned?”Liam knelt on the ground before he yelled, “Dr. Simmons, I am Liam and I would like to speak to you face to face. Please be merciful and listen to me for a short while. If you refuse to see me, I will just kneel and wait outside until you decide to meet me!”At this time, Anthony had already walked into the consultation room at the back of Serene World Clinic. However, he could not help but sigh when he heard Liam’s voice.He had already been in contact with the illegitimate child of the Weaver family a couple of times and Anthony could

Liam had never told anyone about his life. Anthony was the first person that he ever told his story to.Ever since he was brought back to the Weaver family, Liam had always been insulted and humiliated by everyone around him.Since his childhood, his father, Jordan, and his half-brother, Jeffrey, had always hated him. He had always been scolded, beaten, and subjected to various sorts of humiliations but he had slowly gotten used to it.He had been very patient as he slowly waited for the day when he would finally be able to find a suitable opportunity to get out of his dark and miserable situation.Since the Weaver family was suffering from such a huge crisis and since Jordan had already officially announced that the position of chairman of Weaver Pharmaceuticals would be given to anyone who could resolve this crisis, Liam decided that he should take advantage of this opportunity to use the thousand-year-old snow white ginseng that he had kept hidden for more than twenty years to t

Anthony hung up the phone before he told Liam, “Mr. Wade has already agreed to meet you. You can come with me now.”When Liam heard this, he immediately showed an expression of gratitude as he bowed before Anthony and said, “Thank you for your generosity and help, Dr. Simmons!”Anthony waved his hand before he said, “I’m just lending Mr. Wade a hand. You don’t need to thank me. If Mr. Wade is willing to help you, then you can just thank him directly.”Liam nodded in a hurry before he said, “Okay, should we leave now, Dr. Simmons?”Anthony nodded before he called out to his granddaughter, Xyla, as he said, “Xyla! Can you drive us over to Mr. Wade’s house?”When Xyla heard that her grandfather was going to see Charlie, she was very excited and she quickly said, “Grandpa, let’s go over now! We wouldn’t want Mr. Wade to wait so long!”After that, Liam took his thousand-year-old snow white ginseng with him before he followed Anthony and Xyla out of Serene World Clinic. After that, the

At this time Charlie looked at Liam before he asked curiously, “I heard that you have something to ask me?”Liam nodded hurriedly before he took out the wooden box containing the thousand-year-old snow white ginseng from his pocket and handed it over to Charlie. After that, he said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, this thousand-year-old snow white ginseng is a family heirloom that was passed down in my mother’s family for many generations. I’ve been carrying it close to me all these years but this kind of treasure can never reach its maximum potential in my hands. Therefore, after thinking about it, I’ve decided to dedicate it to you, Mr. Wade!”Charlie did not say anything and he simply opened the wooden box to look at the thousand-year-old snow white ginseng. At this time, he could see a piece of snow white ginseng with human-like roots and some wax surrounding it lying inside the box.Moreover, with just a single glance, Charlie could feel the strong and rich spiritual energy within the

When Charlie heard Liam’s words, he suddenly felt that Liam was in a similar situation as he was.Once upon a time, he was also an orphan and piece of trash who was humiliated and bullied by others.His life only turned around when Stephen Thompson found him and handed Emgrand Group and a black card with tens of billions of dollars over to him.Later, Charlie finally had the opportunity to achieve greatness when he found the Apocalyptic Book by accident.Once upon a time, he had also been cast aside by everyone. He had also been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself to everyone, as well as to slap all those who had despised him in the past!Therefore, he could understand Liam’s feelings very well.Liam was a child who had been called a b*stard ever since he was a young boy. His mother died and even though he was brought into his own biological father’s home, he was subjected to even greater torture and humiliation. After more than twenty years, the degree of tolerance in hi

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6475
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

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

There were those in Antique Street who made their living from swindling the average Joe while others swindled antique traders.In fact, it was already cliche for them to trick antique traders with forgeries, and it was not surprising that someone had tried their luck on the opening day of Raymond's shop.As such, it was strange that he had just started today without any hype or even a proper shop sign, but someone was already after him.That told him that he was being targeted, and Raymond was putting his money on Zachary.The sole reason for that was how Zachary had come earlier to ask Raymond about how much capital he had, and he had humbly said a few hundred thousand.The fact that Billy had come and immediately demanded 500 thousand made even more sense—he wanted to siphon all of Raymond's capital.Even losing money wasn't the worst part—the worst was being labeled as an amateur.When that happened, customers who wanted the good stuff wouldn't come to him, and he would find

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6469
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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6468
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
