Jennifer then said to her buddies beside her, “You should also add Elaine as a friend so that it will be easier for us to communicate with each other in the future.”Elaine said without hesitation, “That’s really great. I’ll create a group chat immediately and add the four of us to the group chat. We can communicate in the group chat directly if there’s any news in the future.”Soon, the four of them started getting to work with the birth of a WhatsApp group chat called ‘Eliminate Hannah Queen to Eliminate Harm for the Society’.Elaine then returned home on crutches whereas Jennifer and the others walked back to their villa immediately. After arriving below the villa, Jennifer looked up at the room on the second floor and said to the other two in a low voice, “They really closed the windows and doors. I’ll climb up to their balcony on the second floor to see if I can take pictures or videos from outside, but our windows here have really good soundproofing. Even if I can take video
Harold did not dare to retort after he was reprimanded by Hannah. He could only nod resentfully and concur, “Mom, you’re right. I was too self-righteous...”Hannah snorted coldly and continued rebuking, “Besides, I also told you that you only have one task tonight. You have to shed some tears when you thank the viewers in the live broadcast after the live broadcast is over. But why didn’t I see any tears from you when you spoke just now? Where are your tears?”Harold said nervously, “Mom... I-I couldn’t cry when I thought about how easily you could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars again tonight...”Hannah scolded angrily, “Useless! You have to cry even if you can’t cry! If you don’t move those people in the live broadcast room and make them think that they are being very noble, how can they be willing to spend their money on us, then?! The selection in our live broadcast room is all cheap and worthless goods with a selling price that is several times higher than its cost price.
With that said, Christopher smacked his lips and sighed emotionally as he said, “But this rice cereal is really f*cking unpalatable. It doesn’t leave any fragrance in your mouth after you eat it, and it even tastes a little bitter. Would it cost the manufacturers a lot to use some good materials?” Hannah raised her hand and slapped him, stunning him.Christopher was about to ask her why she had done that when Hannah then said impatiently, “Who the hell are you to call me your honey?! Weren’t you the one who slapped me, forced me to get a divorce with you, and asked me to get out of this house?”Christopher was taken aback and hurriedly said, “Oh, Honey, it’s all my fault! I was blind and didn’t know how to cherish a good wife like you. If I mention divorce to you again, I will be struck to death by lightning!” Hannah laughed coldly and said, “Oh, Christopher, your attitude really changes very quickly! What did you say at the beginning? You said that I cuckolded you, got pregnant
Before finding a means to make a living through live broadcasting, Hannah was often rejected by the Wilson family. This was especially so after she came back from the black coal mine and was found to be pregnant as well as infected with venereal disease. Lady Wilson and Christopher had never treated her well. At that time, even her son, Harold, felt ashamed of his mother, and he felt that she was a disgrace.When Hannah was facing the most difficult time of her life, the only person in this family who made her feel warm was her daughter, Wendy.Since encountering setbacks and being rescued by Charlie, Wendy’s personality had changed a lot. She became much more stable and down-to-earth, and she was also much kinder because of the trials and tribulations she had gone through.She knew what had happened to her mother. Even though it was a little embarrassing to speak of it, she could not do anything about her mother’s situation.Outsiders could laugh at and mock her mother, but th
“It’s not normal!” Hannah said very resolutely, “It’s a working day, and the data should not fluctuate too much. If we want to make money, we must ensure that the data has been rising steadily. Once the data starts to go downhill, that is definitely a very dangerous signal. If it falls by two to three percent every day, it will not take long before we will be back to our original state. We have to find a way to let our data rise again and continue to surge higher.”Christopher asked, “Honey, do you have any good ideas?”Hannah said coldly, “I’ve been thinking about it for the past two days. Those scums in the live broadcast room may have gotten a little tired of watching the two of you in a paralyzed state in bed. I plan to change the script a little starting tomorrow.”Christopher hurriedly asked, “Honey, what script are you going to change?”Hannah said calmly, “I checked on the internet, and it seems that pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate. I checked some of the ea
Hannah hummed in response and then said to Lady Wilson, “Old lady, you also have a new script.”Lady Wilson hurriedly asked respectfully, “Hannah, just tell me how you need me to act!”Hannah said coldly, “When Harold’s act for his diagnosis of uremia is done, you have to cry a lot in front of the camera every day. You can play the role of a blind woman after ten to twenty days of continuous crying.”“Play the role of a blind woman...” Lady Wilson’s mouth twitched, but she still said helplessly, “Okay, I will listen to you...”Hannah stood up in satisfaction and said condescendingly, “All of you should give it your best and act well. After the new wave of scripts is completed and our sales increase to a higher level, I will go to the suburbs to buy a bigger villa. I’ll bring all of you over there, then. Your injuries will probably be healed by then, and you will be able to do your live broadcast at night and enjoy a leisurely life during the day without being disturbed by others.”
After Jennifer returned to the room and met up with the other two, she saw that their faces were filled with righteous indignation and anger.She quickly asked, “Did you record everything? Don’t drop the ball for me at this time!”Yulia said in exasperation, “Jennifer, the Wilson family is truly evil. You may not have been able to hear what they said from out on the balcony, but Hannah and that damned old woman were cursing at us like crazy!”“That’s right!” Yara also said angrily, “The main point is that Hannah is really evil. Not to mention scolding the three of us, but she also scolded those people who spent money on them in her live broadcast room. Don’t you think that this b*tch is really as bad as one could be?!”Yulia also chimed in and said, “That shameless woman, Hannah, is now starting to think of other deception methods. She asked her husband and son to pretend to have advanced pancreatic cancer and the other to pretend to have uremia. That damned old lady will have a sc
Next, there was only one slightly laborious process left, which was to synchronize the audio and video time tracks so that the audio and video would be synchronized. Fortunately, the video file and the audio file were whole, so Elaine only needed to find one of the clips where it was easier to recognize the mouth shape, then echo the corresponding audio of this clip, and the entire video and the audio would be perfectly matched.Soon, Elaine found a very convenient lip-sync and synchronized the audio and video to perfection. She then previewed the entire video, and after confirming that there were no problems, she exported the video file.After the video was exported, Elaine grinned happily as she reviewed it again.She could not help but sigh and say, “Hannah, oh, Hannah, I really underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a day. In that case, you will definitely be able to earn a small goal in a year, right? Unexpectedly, you’re really capab
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
