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

However, Hannah was different. The return rate in her live broadcast room was surprisingly low, and even if the broken garbage bags would leak when half-filled, almost no one would return them.Hannah herself was also very shrewd. She knew very well that although she could earn more and earn higher commissions if she brought in bird’s nests and skin care products that cost thousands of dollars per customer, once the consumer found something bad about it, they absolutely would not have this ‘only showing love’ mentality. They would certainly choose to return the goods immediately. Therefore, she had her own business sense. The first one was that the maximum price of the goods per unit for her live broadcast would only be ninety-nine dollars. It must never exceed one hundred dollars so that she could minimize the return rate. This was because she knew that the love of consumers also had an upper limit!If they spent 19.90 dollars to buy a bunch of garbage bags, 29.90 dollars to b

When Charlie saw that Elaine still got into Hannah’s car, he sighed helplessly. It was difficult to change a person’s nature. He did not think any further about it, used the Cullinan to jumpstart the BMW, then drove the BMW out.After going out, Charlie called Claudia and asked her to wait for him at the new home that Isaac had prepared for her and Mrs. Lewis. At the same time, he also called Isaac to ask him to contact his connections at Aurous University to go over and complete Claudia’s admission application today. Isaac had been working in Aurous Hill for many years, and he was also the spokesperson for the Wade family, so his local connections could be said to be pervasive. Getting admission into Aurous University was naturally not a problem. This time, he had already established a connection for Claudia in advance, so upon Claudia’s arrival in Aurous Hill, she only needed to go to the university with the necessary documents to get things started. Charlie followed the address

Claudia laughed and said, “We have at least the two of us already, so it’ll also be a brave step for us.”Stephanie snorted and said, “I don’t want to form a girl group with you! Mrs. Lewis and I still have to work hard to take good care of Charlie’s orphanage!”Charlie also said to Claudia at this time, “Claudia, let’s go now if you don’t have anything else to do. The dean of the university and the person in charge of recruiting overseas undergraduates have already arrived. We should go and meet them to complete the process.”“Okay!” Claudia hurriedly nodded and turned to Stephanie as she said, “Stephanie, I’ll get going first, then!”Stephanie smiled and said, “Mrs. Lewis and I will celebrate with you at noon after you get the admission notice!”Charlie raised his brows and said, “Count me in. Tell Mrs. Lewis that I’ll have to trouble her to cook more special dishes at noon today.”Stephanie said excitedly, “Really? I’ll go to the supermarket to find Mrs. Lewis and buy more del

Charlie had grown up in an orphanage, so he understood Claudia’s feelings at this moment very well. Back then, when he was completely ignorant of everything that Stephen had arranged for him, he had been really sad and desperate as he curled up in a corner of the dormitory of Aurous Hill Welfare Institute alone and cried until dawn. Today, Claudia was going through almost the exact same process as he had back then. This was also why Charlie was paying special attention to Claudia. He hoped to be able to use his attitude and actions to help her untie the knots in her heart so that she could face her future life with openness and optimism. Therefore, Charlie told Claudia about his own experience in the orphanage, hoping that she could find resonance with him.When Charlie described his mental state back then to Claudia in detail, she really felt a strong sense of empathy toward him. At this moment, she suddenly realized that Charlie might be the one who truly understood her best i

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A

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
