Chapter 5127

Author: Lord Leaf
Elaine nodded and said casually, “That’s almost the same as my husband before he left. He smoked one and a half packets a day, and as a result, he was gone in his early thirties.

After saying that, she looked at the taxi driver and asked curiously, “Mister, I think you’re forty or fifty years old, right?”

The taxi driver laughed and said, “I... I’m fifty-two years old...”

“Awesome.” Elaine gave him a thumbs up and said seriously, “You’re doing pretty well. If you clench your teeth and persist for a dozen years, you would have lived twice as long as my husband.”

The taxi driver’s expression at this time was much uglier than crying.

At this time, Elaine could not help but sigh as she said, “In fact, what’s the point of living so long? My husband left early and didn’t have to worry about anything unlike me, where I had to assume both the role of a father and mother. Sometimes, I think that it’d be better if the person who left was me. In that case, I would die earlier and be reborn

    The three of them walked into the neighborhood with their luggage when they heard a short car horn sound from behind.The three subconsciously looked back only to see a large Mercedes-Benz SUV slowly drive over. The window was rolled down, and a woman poked her head out and said in surprise, “Oh, Elaine! When did you come back from the United States?!”When Elaine heard this, she was surprised and said, “Hannah?! Is it really you?!”Hannah drove the car forward again, stopped directly beside Elaine, then leaned on the window with a smug expression as she said with a smile, “Elaine, you’re really funny. You don’t recognize your sister-in-law after going to the United States to stay for a month?!”Elaine’s brows immediately furrowed. Several voices were rising and falling in her heart at this moment. The first voice was, “Damn it! How is this bitch, Hannah, driving a Mercedes-Benz? Wasn’t she so poor that she even had to starve? Two disabled people are lying in her house, and the

    It was also at that time that Elaine truly realized that Hannah and Christopher really had the courage and intention to destroy others!Therefore, Elaine had always held a grudge against Hannah and had always been wary of her!The reason why Elaine was close to Hannah was because Hannah would flatter her and compliment her all the time, which gave Elaine a sense of superiority. Elaine also enjoyed the feeling of trampling all over Hannah when Hannah had still been flattering her. However, even though she had brought Hannah out to eat, drink, and have fun every day, she would always remember how cunning Hannah was. So, she had always guarded herself against Hannah in order to prevent getting tricked again. She had originally thought that it would be impossible for Hannah to turn things around again in this life, but she never expected this bitch to turn things around so quickly!She recalled the logo she had seen on the rear of the car and could not help but ask Charlie, “My dear

    Hannah’s inexplicable rise messed with Elaine’s emotions, and she suddenly felt extremely disappointed. Although she was living in a luxury house and drove a luxury car, she knew very well that these things were not directly related to her.In other words, when it came to money, Elaine only knew how to spend money in addition to getting cheated out of her money. If one were to count the money that she had earned on her own, it would be nothing in fifty years.Therefore, she was very anxious to figure out one thing. How had Hannah gotten the money to buy the Mercedes-Benz G500?Elaine would feel better if Wendy had earned the money because Hannah would simply be spending her daughter’s money the way she was spending her son-in-law’s money. Hannah would not be any better compared to her. What’s more, Hannah was only driving a Mercedes-Benz G500 that cost more than two million dollars. The car that she drove some time ago in Aurous Hill was a Rolls-Royce Cullinan that cost tens of mi

    Jacob was already very drunk at this time. He was wearing a boxer on his lower body, and his upper body was naked. He was collapsed on the sofa, and there was a bottle of vodka with a high alcohol content that was almost emptied. So, Charlie walked over quickly to check on Jacob’s state, but when he got closer, he was taken aback by the person in front of him. The man in front of him was indeed Jacob, but he had a scruffy beard, and his body smelled. He was in an extremely disheveled state. If he was thrown on the street, he would fit right in like a proper vagrant. He quickly said, “Dad, wake up. Dad, it’s me, Charlie.”Jacob was in a daze from his sleep. When he heard someone calling him, he cursed angrily, “I... I’m telling you... Leave me alone! Don’t bother me! I’m in a bad mood!” Elaine controlled the electric wheelchair, knocking into an unknown number of beer cans along the way as she rushed to the sofa angrily. When she saw Jacob, who was lying on the sofa like a begg

    Jacob was flustered by Elaine’s question. Furthermore, he was guilty, so he suddenly did not know how to explain himself. At this time, Charlie hurriedly asked, “Dad, are you feeling upset because you did not perform well in the cultural exchange to Korea this time?”After getting Charlie’s reminder, Jacob nodded in a panic and said, “Yes, yes, that’s right... It’s because I did not perform well...”After saying that, he sighed deeply and said angrily from the bottom of his heart, “I’ve been preparing for this cultural exchange for a long time, and I thought that I would be able to do a good job in Korea so that I could also bring glory to Aurous Hill and Oskia. Unexpectedly, after arriving in Korea, the other members of my own group stole the limelight from me. I was in Korea for more than twenty days but did not have any room for development at all. I’ve never felt so humiliated in my life...”When Elaine heard this, she was half-convinced, but she was still very angry and curse

    “Who else could it be?!” Jacob wiped his tears away and sobbed as he said, “Of course, it’s Matilda!”Charlie frowned and asked, “Aren’t the two of you confidants? When did you get together?”Jacob quickly explained, “We’re not together. I haven’t divorced your mother-in-law yet...”Charlie said helplessly, “You guys are not together, so how can you be lovelorn?”Jacob felt as if he had been humiliated, so he blushed and argued, “We have always loved each other deep down in our hearts! Do you remember the time when she and her son, Paul, came over to our house for dinner when she had just come back to Oskia?”“I remember.” Charlie said casually, “Wasn’t that just a reunion between old classmates? What’s so special about it?”Jacob said solemnly, “Of course, it was special! You don’t know this, but I confessed my love to her when we were in the kitchen that day! I not only confessed my love to her affectionately, but I even hugged her, and she hugged me back!”“Really?” Charlie a

    After hearing Jacob’s words, Charlie could not help but ask in surprise, “How did Professor Hart get together with Aunt Matilda? When did this happen?” Jacob said indignantly, “Didn’t it happen during the cultural exchange to Korea this time? The two of them somehow ended up together for some reason!”Charlie asked him, “Are you sure they are together? Have they made an official announcement?”“Yes...” Jacob’s eyes were red and swollen, and he said in distress, “Matilda spoke to me about this matter before. She said that Professor Hart had always been interested in her, and it was not just for a day or two. In fact, he had always been interested in her since we ran into him that time.”After saying that, Jacob then added, “Professor Hart had always been stalking Matilda, and I don’t know what’s wrong with Matilda that she actually agreed to be together with him.”Charlie laughed and said, “Dad, I’m going to say something that you won’t like to hear. I actually think that the two

    Jacob did not expect Charlie to say his inner thoughts directly, so he looked extremely embarrassed as he said, “Isn’t it because I want to solve the problem peacefully?”Charlie shook his head and said, “I know. When Aunt Matilda first returned to Oskia, Mom happened to disappear for a period of time. You might not have realized it, but I could see that you really enjoyed the feeling very much during that time. However, you failed to understand that the feeling was only temporary and you cannot regard something that’s temporary as eternal.”Charlie then said sincerely, “Dad, I can actually understand Professor Hart’s situation. To be honest, I think that it’s actually the best choice for Aunt Matilda to be together with him. First of all, both of them are single and widowed. They do not face the psychological burden of destroying the other party’s family or marriage, and they also do not need to worry that the other party will rekindle their relationship with their exes or worry tha

    Jacob was naturally gleeful that he could get the late medieval bronze sculpture along with its base. Right after he wired the agreed upon ninety-eight grand to Mr. Cardensky, he was already imagining how Raymond would buy it from him for several hundred grand.On the other hand, once Mr. Cardensky received the transfer, he saw the name on the account: Jacob Wilson.He was left perplexed—wasn't that man's last name Montague? Who was this Jacob Wilson?Still, he didn't worry about it too much since most antique hustlers preferred to work with anonymity and therefore, using a different name was perfectly normal.He then carefully wrapped up the bronze sculpture before passing it Jacob, asking politely, "Would you happen to have any other requests, Mr. Montague? I have plenty of other items here if you'd permit me to give an introduction."Jacob shook his head, "Just this sculpture will do. I'm not fully confident in your work either since this is our first deal, so I'm just trying i

    Jacob asked, "Then, what would this sculpture be worth if it was genuine?"Mr. Cardensky thought about it. "Well, there are standards when it comes to Renaissance relics, but with something this exquisite, it'd definitely be auctionable for one or two million—and that's the conservative estimate.""How much would you sell it to me for?" Jacob then asked."Thirty percent of the market price," Mr. Cardensky quickly replied. "As I've said, the conservative estimate for this one is around one to two million, so we will set the price with the median estimate value at 1.5 million. And thirty percent means 450 grand."Jacob shook his head right away. "No, no, no… that's too expensive. What if I end up unable to sell it, on top of that?"In his mind, while he could barely accept that pricing, he still needed Raymond to be able to afford it if he wanted to swindle Raymond for twice the money.Mr. Cardensky quickly chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Montague—now you're being too serious. In this business,

    "Okay!"Mr. Cardensky smiled and pointed at a nearby farmyard. "There's our workshop—the good stuff is all in there. Allow me to take you there!"The farmyard seemed uninteresting at first glance, but Mr. Cardensky soon led them to the stables and brushed off the straws covering the floor, revealing a plank laid flat on the ground.Mr. Cardensky then lifted it, revealing a passage below—they had dug a cellar into the ground beneath, with the stables as an entry point.As Jacob followed Mr. Cardensky down the cellar, he exclaimed in awe, "Your operation is definitely big, digging such a huge cellar!"Mr. Cardensky smiled humbly. "Anyone working in the business would have sustained their losses before. In the end, we're all folk of humble origins, starting out with raiding tombs or excavating artifacts. Just digging a cellar is really nothing."As they conversed, they cleared the stairs and arrived at the main hall.It was certainly a hall as it was around a hundred square meters,

    Zachary nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Montague? Very well!""Yes!" Jacob grinned smugly. "Longer last names are simply better—it just sounds so authoritative."With that agreed upon, both men alighted, where the master was waiting nearby.Seeing them get off, he hurried over to them, smiling, "Please, follow me."Zachary looked around and huffed, "Honestly, Mr. Cardensky, isn't this way too far from the highway? The road is narrow and terrible, and I have to park my car all the way out here. Just coming here is taxing."Mr. Cardensky smiled in turn. "My friend, that's exactly why we picked this place. Do you remember seeing a couple of cars parked by the road, occupying half of it?""We arranged for them to be there. Anyone coming by car would have to slow down that way, buying time for us to see who they truly are. If it's cops, our watchers would quietly text us while we clean the house and bail."Zachary exclaimed in realization, "You boys really run a tight ship!""For sure," Mr.

    After working in Antique Street for years, Zachary's connections and influence were naturally special. And yet, though he was acquainted with some of the more impressive individuals, he was not that close with them either.For example, the forgery masters who worked specifically to deceive experts only accepted jobs from major clients, usually antique traders high in social status and wealth.In contrast, they wouldn't ever be interested in frivolous people like Zachary. Even if he could reach them, they might not look at him twice.If one would describe them as the cartel boss, then Zachary would be a low-level enforcer, managing night joints or goofing off.But now, Zachary had turned over a new leaf—he worked under Don Albert, so one of those masters was pleasantly surprised when he called one of them, inviting him to his own workshop for a visit and further discussion.As such, Zachary picked up Jacob and went over to the master's hideout where the latter worked on his count

    Zachary was naturally shrewd enough to read Jacob's intention.In reality, he wasn't offering to pay just because he wanted the profit. He merely wanted to get in Jacob's good graces. After all, wouldn't Jacob be even more grateful that he wasn't just helping his revenge but also helping him make money?As such, he didn't hesitate to tell Jacob, "Well, chief—since you'll be paying, I will make sure that you will get every cent of profit that you deserve."Jacob was grinning ear-to-ear, but he said, "Oh, you don't have to! If we really are making a profit, there's no way I would let your good work go unrewarded!"Spreading his arms, he continued generously, "How about this? I will pay the full cost while you get twenty percent of the net profit!"Zachary laughed. "Now, that can wait, chief. We need to pay as soon as we decide on the item we want, and there's no time for buyer's regret. But if Raymond doesn't take the bait, all that money will go down the drain, and whether we can s

    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
