Elaine said aggrievedly, “I really didn’t expect that these people could be so shameless to this extent.”The woman chuckled and said lightly, “What is this? You’ve not been in the United States for long, I see. You can encounter anything if you just stay a little longer.”Having said that, she asked Elaine, “Do you know how I got in here?”Elaine shook her head and asked blankly, “How did you get locked up in here?”The woman laughed and said, “Because I sold hairy crabs...”Elaine was puzzled and asked, “How can you get locked up in prison for just selling hairy crabs? Is it because they were of inferior quality or is it because of shortage in the weight?” The woman shook her head and said, “You might not know this, but hairy crabs are an invasive species in this part of the United States. Selling hairy crabs here is essentially an illegal act.” Elaine asked in surprise, “Why are you still selling them when it’s against the law?” The woman smiled wryly and said, “Everyone

Elaine survived twenty long minutes in extreme fear.As soon as the twenty minutes were up, Elaine rushed to the public phone next to the field immediately.Many inmates watched coldly when they saw Elaine running desperately. Although many of them were already eager to teach Elaine a lesson, their free time had just started, and many prison guards were keeping an eye on them at this moment. So, these inmates did not dare to attack Elaine immediately.According to the prison guards’ practice at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility, they had to keep a close eye on the group of prisoners in the first fifteen minutes and last fifteen minutes of the one-hour free time. This was because according to experience, the most frequent point of escape would usually be during the process when the prisoners were passing through different areas. The journey from the prison cell to the dining room, the dining room to the field, and from the work site back to the cell were processes that were gener

With that said, Charlie said again, “Mom, how about this? I’ll rush over there now and call my client on the way to see if he can help think of a way to release you as soon as possible. After that, I’ll pick you up directly, and we can go back to Providence together!”In truth, Charlie had already arrived at Bedford Hills Correctional Facility at this moment.He had come here with Jordan from the Fox family.The two of them were standing in the warden’s office which overlooked the entire prison field from a height. Charlie could see Elaine’s anxious appearance in front of the public phone at the moment.For Charlie, he only needed to say a word if he wanted to get Elaine out of prison. Jordan could also ask the warden to release Elaine immediately within ten seconds.However, in Charlie’s opinion, he would be letting Elaine off too easily if he did that.Elaine was the kind of person who was heartless and never learned from her mistakes. She would lose her judgment completely a

What Kelsey was most worried about at the moment was her own self-preservation.Once Mandy, who had been wounded, came back, Mandy would definitely seek revenge on her. She had already lost her backer and would be no match for Mandy at all, so the only thing she could do now was to clear her own name and rid herself of any blame.She was at the stage of making things known. Everyone was watching from the field, and they were all impatiently waiting to do something to Elaine later.If she were to beat Elaine up violently in front of everyone now, it would be tantamount to telling everyone that she had nothing to do with Elaine. If she forced Elaine to become a scapegoat and publicly assume the blame, her own risk would also be greatly reduced.If that failed, she would kneel down and beg for Mandy’s forgiveness when she came back. Perhaps she would be able to escape this disaster, then.It was also at this moment that Elaine understood how sinister a human could be.She gained a

So, she tried her best to break free from the prison guard who was holding onto her, rushed to Elaine’s side, and stomped hard on the calf of Elaine’s right leg.Elaine’s right leg had already been broken several times, and her leg had not recovered completely even at this point. When Kelsey suddenly stomped fiercely on her leg, there was only a clicking sound followed by an instantaneous sharp pain. Elaine collapsed emotionally and shouted, “Ahh! My leg... My leg is broken again!”At this time, Kelsey looked at Elaine, who was rolling on the ground with a broken leg, and she deliberately cursed out loud, “Listen up, Elaine! I’m breaking your leg for Mandy! Don’t forget that you broke Mandy’s leg, so I’m breaking your leg now to avenge her! This is a blood debt!”Elaine kept rolling on the ground in pain at this moment and could not help but shout at the several prison guards, “My leg... My leg is broken again! Please take me to the hospital! Don’t leave me here any longer! Please!”

Kelsey, who had just beaten Elaine up, never would have dreamt that Jayne and the others who had just been released from prison not long ago would be sent back again!She was scared out of her wits at this moment!She had witnessed the strength of these three, and as long as they were here, absolutely no one in Bedford Hills Correctional Facility could go against them.Even if Mandy came back, she could never be their opponent...This also meant that she had made a blatant mistake with her act of hitting Elaine in order to seek vengeance for Mandy!Kelsey was extremely terrified, and she hurriedly fell to her knees and said with tears in her eyes, “Elaine, I’m sorry... Elaine, I really didn’t mean to... I didn’t do it on purpose... I must have been completely out of my mind...”Elaine hated this woman, and she said through clenched teeth, “How dare you say that you didn’t do it on purpose?! I’ve never met anyone as shameless as you in all my years of life!”With that said, Elain

Upon hearing this, Elaine nodded vigorously and blurted out, “Jayne, after you go back to the cell, you have to teach Chloe and Jacelyn a lesson on my behalf! These two b*stards turned on me immediately after you guys left at noon. You must not let them off!” Jayne solemnly promised, “Elaine, don’t worry. We will not let them have a good day as long as we are still here!”At this time, the prison guard who was aside said to Elaine, “Elaine, I think you should come to the infirmary with me first so that the doctor can check whether your injury is serious!”Elaine felt the pain in her right leg and could not help but choke up and say, “How can it not be serious? My leg seems to be broken again...”With that said, Elaine hurriedly asked her, “Can you send me to the hospital? By the way, can I have my cell phone back too? I want to call my son-in-law...”The prison guard spoke up, “Your son-in-law is already here, and he is waiting outside to pick you up from prison.”“Really?” Elai

Charlie was already unconcerned about Elaine’s sudden awakening at this moment.He simply thought that Claire would definitely feel distressed when she saw Elaine in this state if he were to bring Elaine back to Providence now.Moreover, Elaine’s leg was broken, and she had lost most of her ability to take care of herself. So, who would take care of her if he brought her back to Providence?Claire still had to attend classes, and it would be inconvenient for him to take care of Elaine herself. So, the best option would be to let Elaine stay in New York for treatment. However, there were still two problems. The first was how he could make Elaine willingly stay in New York, and the other was how he should explain things to his wife, Claire.Still, his priority at the moment was to send Elaine to the hospital for treatment first. Although she had this leg injury that could be fixed with just half a Healing Pill, Charlie still felt that it was somewhat wasteful for him to use the Hea

While Jacob was feeling delighted after pulling off his con, Raymond had posted details of the bronze sculpture online.The website he was using was the biggest platform for antique collectors and the antique trade where each user could set a favorite tag in the antique category and era. If a user who preferred canvas art pieces of the Tudor dynasty set that label as their favorite, they would immediately be notified with text or desktop notifications in regards to any item with the same label.As medieval bronze sculptures were rare in the first place, most who were interested had already set that label on their favorites and were immediately notified soon after Raymond posted pictures of the bronze sculpture online.The collectors were naturally eager to check it out as gilded sculptures of the medieval era were really rare, and most collectors would go a lifetime without picking one up for their collection.On top of that, the seller had even listed a major flaw and was only ask

"Nope," Jacob chuckled. "We were both working separately and just happened to get back in at the same time."Then, he immediately became smug and excited, "Guess what, dear? I made 200 thousand out of the deal! In net profits!""For real?!" Elaine gaped. "200 thousand in just one night?! That's amazing! How did you do that?"Claire was surprised to hear that too, and she came over to ask, "What deal was it, Dad?"Jacob grinned, "Oh, it's nothing to brag about. It's just that I managed to pick up a nice antique item thanks to my wisdom and then sold it for 200 thousand."Pausing, he then sighed in dismay, "However, the buyer wasn't too rich—I would have squeezed him for 400 thousand, but he couldn't afford more, so I had to settle for less."Elaine quickly exclaimed, "Shit, we're talking about a loss of 200 thousand! People would work a year and still never earn that much…"She trailed off for a moment before asking, "By the way, dear—are we still flying out first thing tomorrow?

Jacob laughed. "Put that issue behind us? Sure, but we're not becoming friends. Hell, I can't even hold a grudge now that you're shit out of luck."Then, his tone changed sharply and suddenly became icy, "But you see, Aurous Hill is not a place you can stay just because you want to. No… After this, you're not going to be able to make a living in the antique trade.""If I were you, I'd be running a thousand miles away, far away from Aurous Hill where no one would know my face to start over. That way, you just might be able to make a living."Raymond simply kept smiling, "You need not be concerned about how I'm going to survive here, Mr. Wilson. I'd be very grateful if you'd cease any form of harassment once you leave my premises."Jacob pursed his lips, staring at Raymond in disappointment. "I'm plenty magnanimous, so I won't stoop to such pettiness. Just do whatever you like!"Clicking his tongue, he huffed, "Tut, tut… And here I'd thought you're tough, but you're just yet another

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!

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
