The speed at which Hannah was making money made Elaine feel extremely angry and jealous.It was at this moment that she came to a realization that Hannah had turned her life around completely, and she was doing it in a fast and hard manner.At this rate of earning tens of thousands of dollars a day, Hannah’s annual income was at least ten to twenty million dollars. Although Elaine was living in a villa that cost more than one hundred million dollars, she would never be able to earn so much money even in eight lifetimes. Moreover, even if Elaine did not understand the internet, she also perceived the trend. She said with flushed red eyes, “Hannah has really discovered a gold mine this time. Based on this trend, I’m afraid that her earnings will only get bigger and bigger over time... She might be earning tens of thousands of dollars a day now, but she might be able to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars after a while, and she might even be able to earn a hundred million dollars
What’s more, they were not rich heirs, and it was all just completely a script created by the internet celebrity brokerage company.As the owner of the short video platform, although Charlie felt that people like Hannah and these kinds of things were indeed relatively low as well, he also knew very well that this represented the direction of the market as well as the laws of business.After all, the vast majority of people in the country were all ordinary working class or even peasants. All companies were not competing for the sinking market, and it was also the object of these internet celebrity anchors. If he did not allow such people and things to appear on their own platforms, these anchors would then change platforms to fabricate the same story.This way, the anchors and traffic from his own short video platform would be divided among his other competitors, which would then be followed by the overall collapse of the whole short video platform.Many well-known internet companie
After pondering for a moment, she said helplessly, “There are times when I feel that my father and mother are not compatible at all, but there are also times when I feel the two of them seem to be a match made in heaven. I only hope that when my father has passed this hurdle in his heart, both of them will be able to live peacefully, then...”***Meanwhile, in Penang, Malaysia. Vera had obtained a full set of identity documents signed by Veron Lavor as well as birth certificates and personnel files from elementary school to high school. It was easy to create this set of documents, but it was definitely not an easy task to synchronize these documents fully with the official information of the Malaysian government. However, Logan did it easily.Moreover, he specifically asked his distant relatives to memorize a whole set of scripts related to Veron, and they even memorized the script of all the teachers and principals of every school that Veron had studied at in the files by hea
The night that Charlie and Claire just returned to Oskia was not a good night.Jacob’s heart, which was already riddled with holes, seemed to be hurt even more by Charlie’s words. He stayed in the living room all night without moving.On the other hand, Elaine watched Hannah’s live broadcast in the first half of the night until midnight, then kept holding onto her cell phone during the second half of the night to use the search engine to find a way to destroy Hannah.According to what Charlie had said, her commission rate was about twenty percent. Based on the sales of the small yellow car in Hannah’s live broadcast room, she calculated the total commission that Hannah would make during a live broadcast for one night and came up with a set of figures that left her dumbfounded.Hannah had sold a total of ten items with her sales volume reaching up to 1.1 million dollars. Based on this rough calculation, the commission would be around two hundred and twenty thousand dollars. If she
At this time, there was the rumbling sound of an engine starting not too far away before it drove toward the direction of his house.Charlie looked outside the garage and saw that Hannah was dressed fancily. She was wearing a pair of huge sunglasses with pink rims as she drove her Mercedes-Benz G500 and arrived at his front door. When Charlie saw Hannah parking her car outside his house, he could not help but frown as he thought that this woman must have come to look for trouble since she was here so early in the morning.After all, he also knew Hannah very well. This woman basically had the same attributes as Elaine. They were both the kind of people who would flatter someone who had power and could not wait to trample on those who were beneath them.Lady Wilson as well as Hannah’s family had been living a miserable life for a long time, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a human tragedy. Later, Hannah had begun flattering Elaine, who was her sister-in-law.
Charlie had already guessed that his mother-in-law would not be able to resist the temptation, so he was not surprised at all when Elaine agreed to it.But Claire, who was listening from the second floor, was angry and disappointed at her mother for having no willpower at all. So, she hurried out of her room and pressed the elevator when Elaine was coming down in the elevator. The elevator stopped on the second floor, and when the elevator door opened, she was already leaning inside on her crutches. Elaine had gotten ready very quickly to head out. She did not sleep at all last night, and she did not even bother to change her clothes. She was still wearing the same clothes she was wearing when she got back on the plane yesterday.Claire did not enter the elevator but instead blocked the elevator door and asked Elaine who was inside, “Mom, weren’t you just cursing at Aunt yesterday?! Why can’t you resist the temptation when she is asking you to go to the spa with her?” Elaine sa
Elaine said casually, “My electric wheelchair is very heavy, so I’m afraid you won’t be able to lift it into the trunk.”Hannah nodded and helped Elaine all the way to the passenger car door and said, “Elaine, my broken car is not as good as your Cullinan, so I hope that you won’t mind it.”Elaine curled her lips and then said, “Your G500 really cannot be compared to the Cullinan, but I’m not picky either, so it’s fine.”Hannah helped Elaine get into the car and said with a smile, “I also ordered a Cullinan two days ago. It’s the same as the one you have at home. They are both the BB version, but I ordered the latest model that was just launched. The configuration list is about nine million dollars or so, and landing will cost more than ten million dollars.”Elaine was dumbfounded and asked, “What do you mean? You also ordered a Cullinan?”“That’s right.” Hannah took out a cowhide folder from the passenger door storage compartment and handed it over to Elaine as she said, “Take a
When faced with Hannah’s deception, Elaine did not fall for her tricks this time. She simply said in a self-conscious manner, “I don’t understand shares. The risk is too high, and it requires a lot of capital. I still think that it’s easier to sell goods on a live broadcast. I can start from scratch, and I can just do it on my cell phone. I will be able to make a lot of money if I’m successful, but I won’t lose much if I fail.”As Hannah drove, she tried to dispel Elaine’s thoughts and said, “You have to have a selling point first if you want to engage in live broadcasts and sell goods. Tell me, what can attract people to watch old women like us?” Elaine casually muttered, “If it doesn’t work, I’ll just sell my misery online. I’ll say that my husband has lung cancer, and I will ask everyone for help.”Hannah felt a little offended and hastily said, “How can you do that?! Charlie could be regarded as a person with a certain influence now. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if Charlie’s cli
With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
