At this moment, someone shouted from outside, “Guys, Mr. Lee is here. Quick, get two young men to help carry him up the stairs.”Jacob finally breathed a sigh of relief and urged Charlie, “Hurry, go and help.”Charlie nodded.Aaron said to Jake as well, “You too. We old folks are not as strong as the youngsters, we can’t do it anymore.”“Okay.” Jake nodded and walked out the door with Charlie.As they walked down the stairs, the supercilious Jake walked ahead of Charlie and didn’t bother to even bat an eye at him.Charlie couldn’t be bothered either. This bugger and his company wouldn’t survive after today anyway. He just needed to find the best timing to deliver the fatal blow.Extreme joy spawned extreme sadness, and that was the worst blow a man could get. Jake hadn’t reached extreme joy yet.They arrived downstairs and saw an eighty-something-year-old man with white hair sitting in a wheelchair and looking up at the old school building.A middle-aged man was standing next

Jake hissed at Charlie’s irrelevant response, “Do you think it’s funny? It’s actually an honor to let you work at the construction site!”Charlie nodded with a laugh. “Alright, I know, I get it. I’ll arrange it for you.”Jake was irritated by his ambiguous remark and chided, “Crazy!”Then, he added, “As an experienced person, let me give you some advice. You are still young, go out and find something serious to do. You may still be successful in the coming days.”“What? Did you think working in construction is an obscure job? No, it’s not. Do you know Arnold Schwarzenegger? He was laying bricks and started his own construction business. Okay, his business failed, but he became famous, didn't he?”“Besides, look at the latest trends. TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook are so popular right now, you could register for an account and post some of your daily work at the construction site, maybe you will become famous!”“By the way, I have a Snapchat account. Do you want to foll

Everyone’s eyes started turning red, and some of them even cried a little. “Oh, Mr. Lee. Please don’t, you don’t have to apologize to us…”Mr. Lee plastered a warm smile on his face. “I’ve been through thick and thin for all my life, I’ve witnessed your growth, I’ve witnessed the development of the country. I have nothing much to say but this, ‘be contented with a simple and virtuous life, delight in wisdom’. I’m still a poor old man after years of teaching, but my lifetime ideology is to live happily and be content with no regrets!”Loud applause shook the classroom. Everyone cheered, especially Jacob. He felt that Mr. Lee was the beacon to show the way after hearing what he said.Although he didn’t have much money, indulging himself in the antiques and cultural relics was his way to pursue happiness, so he was glad about it.Of course, there was still a source of pain in his life, and that was Elaine.Mr. Lee shuddered slightly as he gave everyone a lecture about ancient languag

Soon, everyone hopped into multiple cars and went to Glorious Club.Mr. Lee was hesitant to go, but since it was rare for them to get together and his students had invited him to join them enthusiastically, he agreed.Charlie and Jacob hopped into a taxi together. Jacob whined angrily, “That Aaron Philips is too much! Why can’t he just leave me alone? Argh, d*mn, I’m pissed!”Charlie chuckled at his whining and said, “Dad, if you’re so upset, let’s just go home then.”“No!” Jacob muttered, “I haven’t been to the clubhouse, I want to go and see!”Charlie shrugged and nodded.When they arrived at the clubhouse, everyone gathered in the lobby. They were mesmerized and amazed at the luxurious decorations of the clubhouse.The extremely expensive and sophisticated interior design of the clubhouse had exceeded these elderly people’s imagination and their memories about a recreation center. Jacob was equally amazed. He pointed his phone around the lobby and took multiple pictures, ev

The receptionist said with an apologetic expression, “Sir, I’m so sorry, all our suites on the seventh floor are fully booked. We’ve checked, but the only available suites for your membership level are on the third floor and below. Would you like us to prepare a suite for you on the third floor?”Jake hissed irritably, “What? Are you serious? You want me to go to the third floor? This is a disgrace to my status and my membership! How will others think of me if I go to the third floor?”“I’m very sorry, sir, but there’s nothing I can do. All the suites on the fourth to the seventh floors have been reserved in advance. You did not make any reservation, so, our hands are tied…”“If so, just give me a free upgrade and let me go to the eighth floor or above!”“I’m sorry, sir,” the receptionist said in a polite yet firm tone, “At the Glorious Club, we only allow downgrade service for the membership tier, but not upgrade. That is to say, if the ceiling of your Silver card membership only

Albert was at The Heaven Springs at this time.Donald, the wealthiest and most powerful man in the South Region had reserved the Diamond Box in The Heaven Springs tonight as he prepared to entertain the head of some of the most prestigious families in Aurous Hill.Albert knew that the Webb family was even wealthier and more powerful than the Moore family. Therefore, he did not dare to neglect Donald’s orders and personally supervised the chef who was preparing the dishes in The Heaven Springs.As he was arranging for the food preparations, he suddenly received a phone call from Jake. At this time, he asked impatiently, “Yes, what do you want? Hurry up and speak! I am busy over here.”In Albert’s eyes, Jake was nothing more than his lapdog. He did not care about Jake the slightest bit because he had so many lap dogs around him anyway.Jake knew that he could not afford to offend Albert. Therefore, he said humbly, “Don Albert, I am at the Glorious Club at the moment. I would like to

He was asking Albert to come here? Wasn’t he seeking death for himself?He had initially wanted him to bask in his joy and sorrows, but it seemed that he wanted to continue pretending that he was very cool. Now, it seemed as though this son-in-law had indeed cut off his own chances of living because he was pretending to be very cool himself.Jake did not know that he had already dug his own grave. Moreover, he was even being complimented by so many people. At this time, Jake walked up to Charlie before he smiled and said arrogantly, “Charlie, you’ve offended me just now. Therefore, the opportunity to go to the eighth floor of the Glorious Club has nothing to do with you anymore. You can leave with your father-in-law now.”Jacob glared at Jake with an ugly expression on his face as he said, “Hey, Jake! Don’t you think that you are being a little too much? Did you actually think that I came here to eat and drink with you for free? I am here to meet up with my old classmates!”Jake cu

Aaron was furious when he heard Charlie’s words.He glared at Charlie contemptuously before he said, “You are hilarious. My son-in-law is so filial toward me. Why would he ever hit me?”After he was done talking, Aaron pointed at Jake before he said arrogantly, “Let me tell you something. My son-in-law is so many times better than your trashy son-in-law! Do you know how much pocket money my filial son-in-law gives to me every month? He gives me pocket money of one hundred thousand dollars every month! I am not despising or looking down on you, but can you even make one hundred thousand dollars a year?”Jake sneered before he said, “Charlie, you are truly very brave! Don Albert will be here soon. If you don’t leave now, do you believe that I will get Don Albert to tear your mouth apart later?”“Are you really going to make Albert tear my mouth apart?” Charlie asked as he stared at Jake with a look of disbelief on his face.Jake sneered before he said, “What? You don’t believe it? D

There were times when making a person despair to some extent could be a people-strategy.For example, when your distant acquaintance asked for a ten grand loan but you could only lend him one, you couldn't tell him directly that. It would make them think you were being insincere.The better option would be to tell them how you were worse off than they were and had a debt yourself, or that some other friend had borrowed money for three years and never repaid it.And when that mere acquaintance was in despair, you could tell them that if it was really important, you could lend them one thousand with a credit card loan.That way, while the mere acquaintance wouldn't exactly be awash with gratitude, they at least wouldn't complain about your lack of sincerity.That was exactly what Mr. Bay was doing.He had no intention of offending Jacob, but he also couldn't directly tell him to give up on claiming the position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Otherwise, Ja

Jacob felt absolutely horrible just then, and he certainly did not expect Don Albert to give him the cold shoulder.If he had known, he would have just stayed content with the 200 thousand he had made and enjoyed his trip to Dubai! If he had, the Calligraphy and Painting Association wouldn't have found out about the bronze sculpture plot, and Don Albert would still be on friendly terms with him.Absolutely regretting everything, Jacob got in the backseat of the cab, tears of grief almost welling up and out of his eyes.Then, noticing that the cabbie was quietly watching him from the rearview mirror, he turned his face aside, whipped out his phone, and called Mr. Bay.As soon as Mr. Bay answered, he asked, "How did things go over there? Have you sorted out Zachary Evans yet?"He was waiting for Jacob to ask Don Albert for help so that the latter would pressure Zachary into posting a statement retracting his previous claims.However, Jacob knew full well that there was no hope for

Ramond replied, "I'm not planning on getting my name out there—I was just thinking I could start slow from one shop, but now, I'm suddenly so popular everyone's consulting me for appraisals, so I guess that's the short end of this."Either way, I'm planning to let things cool off by opening the shop late and closing early. That way, I'd receive fewer customers, and the hype will die down in a month."Once it does, I'll lead a slow life, which is perfect in Aurous Hill since it's how things are here. I'm not aiming to get rich or expand my business, and it's a comfortable life, so I plan to retire here."Charlie nodded. "The Rothschilds are relatively manageable, but I'm not sure if the Qing Eliminating Society is still looking for you and the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. You'll be completely free once they are wiped out.""And I'm sure with your abilities, Mr. Wade, that day will soon arrive." Raymond smiled and soon remembered. "By the way, you probably haven't had dinner yet, right

Charlie was never one who covered up misdeeds, and what Jacob had done reflected his corrupted character and clear refusal to feel remorse.As such, Charlie naturally refused to offer any help, completely giving up and allowing Jacob to keep going off on his own tangent, tearing himself apart in the process.Still, Raymond did put a good word in for Jacob. "Actually, one can understand Mr. Wilson's motives from a certain point of view. I was the one who set him up so that he broke that vase, and had him beaten up so that we didn't arouse suspicion. He has every reason to bear a grudge."Charlie sighed, nodding. "There's no issue with holding a grudge or getting revenge—in fact, I have no problem with him trying to salvage some pride. However, what he did was unseemly, and he doesn't know when to stop."He didn't lose anything before Zachary exposed everything. Even if he had missed a killer deal, he bought it off someone's hand in the first place and made two hundred grand in clean

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
