Hannah clenched her teeth, took off her other shoe, and threw it again. Elaine tilted her head again and dodged it perfectly. She then looked at Hannah and said with a smile, “Oh, you’re treating me as Bush?”Back then, the President of the United States, George Bush, had easily avoided two shoes that were thrown at him by an Iraqi reporter. That scene had always been a classic scene in international news. Now that Elaine had also escaped Hannah’s two combos, she immediately associated herself with Bush.Hannah was really furious. She became short of breath and was dizzy because she was too angry. She then took a few steps back uncontrollably and sat on the ground. She looked at Elaine, who was so mean to be eating melon seeds, and she cried as she said, “Elaine, you’re a bully! Sob... I was finally able to turn my life around for a few days, so why do you have to ruin my life?! Ahh! I’ve been bullied by Lady Wilson all my life and I can finally stand up for myself and call the shots

After hearing Elaine’s reminder, the police officer nodded at her and then spoke up as he asked, “Who are you? Do you know Hannah Queen?”Elaine said with a smile, “I do! I was the one who exposed her on the internet!”After hearing this, the police officer asked in surprise, “You’re Elaine, the counterfeit fighter?”“Yes, that’s right!” Elaine chuckled and said, “That’s me! I’m the counterfeit fighter!”The police officer gave her a thumbs up and complimented her, “Thank you, Elaine! If you hadn’t exposed her, Hannah Queen would have continued deceiving more people, and she would have embarrassed Aurous Hill! I would like to thank you on behalf of the people of Aurous Hill!”Elaine was flattered and said, “Oh, you’re too much. This is just what I should do!” The police officer immediately instructed the people around him, “Take Hannah Queen into the car first, then go to the villa next door and take all those people who appeared in the video back to cooperate with the investiga

Having said that, Christopher looked depressed as he said, “I get angry when I think of your mother. She is being so arrogant just because she has earned a little money. She is so domineering every day and treats us like her lackeys...”Harold was also helpless and sighed as he said, “Well, Dad, you should also know the current situation in our family now. It’s fortunate that Mom could turn our lives around through her live broadcast. As for her current temper, I honestly can’t do anything. The main reason is because we hurt her too much a while ago, especially you and Grandma, who did not treat Mom like a human being!”Christopher said angrily, “You can’t blame me! It’s not as if you don’t know what your mother did! Not to mention being pregnant with another man’s child, she even infected me with a venereal disease! Which man would be able to tolerate this?!”After saying that, Christopher then said resentfully, “That’s fine, but the main point is that the incident broke out at the

When Christopher heard someone knocking on the door, he subconsciously asked, “Who is it?”As soon as he said these words, the door was pushed open, and several police officers walked in. One of them looked at Christopher and Harold and asked, “Are you Hannah Queen’s family members?”Christopher subconsciously said, “I... I am her husband.”Harold also said, “I am her son...”The police officer nodded and said, “Okay, get up and come with us to cooperate with us in our investigation.”“Cooperate with your investigation?” Christopher subconsciously asked, “Officer, did something happen to Hannah?”The police officer said indifferently, “Didn’t you see the video that was exposed on the internet?”“Video?” Harold blurted out, “What video? We don’t know anything about any video...”The police officer asked in disbelief, “You guys haven’t seen the video exposing you on the internet?” “Exposing us?” Christopher asked nervously, “What the h*ll is going on? I don’t understand what yo

The police officer asked coldly, “Since you’ve already made so much money, why are you still constantly selling misery online? Your wife’s Mercedes-Benz Big G should be enough to pay for the living expenses and medical expenses for both of you, right? The netizens have been kind enough to help you solve your problems, so why didn’t you stop after your problem was solved? Why did you continue making use of the netizens’ sympathy for your family? You already have an endless amount of money to spend but you’re still saying that your family is so miserable in front of the camera. Do you think this is right?”Christopher was speechless for a moment. He knew that this was an outrageous matter and that they were wrong. They could obviously pay for their treatment with three thousand dollars but they had decided to raise thirty million dollars through fundraising. This was definitely a problem, so having the police come to their door was already something he had envisioned earlier. Christop

Personal anchors such as Hannah could apply directly for cash withdrawals from the platform for their income from live broadcasting, but the money was pre-tax, and the anchors needed to declare taxes themselves. However, Hannah had never filed for a tax return because she was reluctant to lose a large amount of income.Now that the tax department had come to her, she suddenly panicked and could only lie and say, “Officer, you’ve also seen the situation of my family. There are indeed two paralyzed patients and an elderly in my family who needs to be taken care of. I was really busy, so I forgot to do it at the moment...”With that said, she had a flash of inspiration, and she quickly came up with an excuse for herself as she said, “You see, I haven’t been selling goods on my live broadcast for long, and it has only been a month. In fact, I planned to go and file for a tax return after I was done getting busy over the next few days...”The personnel from the tax department knew that

“What?!” Hannah said in shock, “I would be sentenced to prison for ten years?!”The police officer said indifferently, “Once it is characterized as fraud, the amount of money involved would be a particularly large amount. The starting sentence would be ten years, and it would include confiscation of all your illegal gains. If your amount of money increases during this period of time, you will definitely be sentenced to ten years or even longer.”Hannah was stunned. She did not expect that there would be such serious consequences to selling misery on a live broadcast that would even encompass criminal law. However, even though it was Elaine who had somehow helped Hannah out of that predicament, Hannah could not forgive her at all. She even secretly swore in her heart that she would definitely find a way to exact revenge on Elaine when she was released. Meanwhile, Hannah’s video was still fermenting on the internet. More and more people who had bought things from Hannah’s live br

As the popularity of the video continued increasing and Hannah was formally detained, the Aurous Hill police also released the results of handling this matter to the public.The netizens were initially very dissatisfied with the punishment when they heard that Hannah was only sentenced to ten days of administrative detention.However, the police also showed Hannah’s husband and son’s medical report to the public. The father and son duo had indeed been paralyzed in bed for several months and could not receive active and effective treatment due to the lack of money.However, the netizens were still skeptical when they first saw this article. After all, in Elaine’s subsequent exposure of the information, it was said that this family lived in a villa at the famous Thompson First, where the price of a single unit exceeded one hundred million dollars. Therefore, everyone was questioning that even if Hannah’s husband and son were really paralyzed, how could she not bring them for treatment

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma

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
