Claire could not calm down at all and she waved her hand before she said, “Forget it. I do not want to talk about this problem anymore. I am going back to my bedroom to calm myself down.”After she was done speaking, Claire turned around and walked up the stairs.Charlie could not help but sighed when he saw her walking up the stairs and disappearing at the top of the stairs.It seemed as though it would really be difficult to deal with Elaine.He could not kill her and he could not make her disappear or evaporate from this world without a trace at all. When she has already suffered enough, he would still have to bring her back home.However, it would also be very troublesome to bring her back. How could he possibly make her shut up without talking any nonsense at all?Through hypnosis?That would not be reliable at all!After all, the side effect of hypnosis was that once the person started to follow his psychological cues, that person would lose their own consciousness moment

Loreen could feel Charlie’s gentleness when he wiped the tears off her face. At the same time, she could not help but feel that her heart was in extreme pain as she listened to his firm and emotional love confession for Claire.At this time, Loreen said in a hoarse voice, “Charlie, if Claire really loves you, I will never do anything to bother or interfere in your relationship at all. However, you know very well that the only reason why Claire is together with you is simply because of the promise that she made to her grandfather. Do you really think that things will work out if you are the only person putting effort into this relationship? Why don’t you just let her go and think for yourself for once in your life?”After she was done speaking, Loreen sobbed as she asked, “In what ways am I inferior to Claire? Tell me so that I can improve myself and try to catch up with her. Please do not reject me just like that. Why won’t you give me a chance?”Charlie shook his head slightly befo

If Claire did not rely on this stubborn ‘stupidity’, she would have listened to everyone’s persuasion and gotten rid of him a long time ago.If that happened, what kind of destiny and fate would he be suffering now?Charlie did not even dare to think about it.His life was very difficult before he married Claire.This was because the orphanage did not accept any adults at all. Therefore, on his eighteenth birthday, Mrs. Lewis bought him a birthday cake with the little savings that she had. After that, they celebrated his birthday for him before she sent him out of the orphanage with tears in her eyes.At that moment, Charlie once again became a helpless and lonely person in this world.Mrs. Lewis wanted to help him and she wanted to introduce him to some work so that he could earn some living allowance for himself but Charlie did not have the face to accept Mrs. Lewis’s help.He found a construction site on his own and he started moving bricks, sand, and cement on his own at the

As he thought about his past, Charlie could not help but feel overwhelmed with emotions.There were only two people in the Wilson family who really treated him well.One of them was Lord Wilson, who had already passed away and the other person was his wife, Claire.Since Lord Wilson had already passed away, the only person left in the entire Wilson family who was really good to him was none other than Claire.When Charlie saw Claire standing on the balcony with a sad expression on her face, he walked over to her slowly before he said, “Claire, you don’t have to worry too much. Mom will definitely come home safely, okay?”Claire only realized that Charlie had entered the room when she heard him speaking. She turned around and glanced at him with an annoyed expression on her face as she said, “You don’t really care about her. So, of course you would think that nothing will happen to her. Even if something happened to her, you would not be really sad or worried at all.”Charlie knew

Jacob, who was upstairs on the third floor was living in sharp contrast to Charlie.He was so excited that he could not even fall asleep at all that night.He could not stop thinking about the past that he shared with Matilda and all of their good memories kept flashing back and forth in his mind. He was completely immersed in the memories that he shared with Matilda.The more he thought about Matilda, the more he looked forward to seeing her again.Early the next morning, Jacob who had not slept for the whole night was very energetic and he was in extremely good spirits. He was happily smiling from ear to ear at this time.He got up early to wash up and he shaved his beard clean without leaving even a single stubble behind. After that, he combed his gray hair before he sprayed some styling spray on his hair. After that, he looked inside his cabinet before he looked for the high-end luxurious suit that he had always felt very unwilling to wear.This suit was specially made in Hon

When Claire heard that her father wanted her to accompany him to meet up with his first love, Claire refused directly without any hesitation at all. “I am not going!”Jacob spread out his hands before he said, “Then, don’t stop Charlie from going with me. No matter what it is, one of you has to come with me today.”“You…” Claire was furious and she asked, “Is it more important for you to have a meal with your old classmate or is it more important for us to find mom? Dad, can’t you differentiate which is more important to you right now?”Jacob blurted out, “Of course, I can differentiate it very clearly! Of course, it is much more important for me to have a meal with my old classmate!”“You…”Although Claire usually had a very good temper, she was about to blow up and explode in anger at this time.Jacob replied indifferently, “Claire, you have to understand one thing. This world does not revolve around your mother alone. There are four people in this family. Your mother and I hav

Elaine knew clearly that this was a threat. As long as she started eating, and as long as she reached out her hand to touch the lunch box, she would probably have to suffer a beating.Therefore, Elaine cried as she continued pleading, “Sister Jennifer, you have already beaten and scolded me as much as you wanted to yesterday. Can you please be merciful and let me off today?”Jennifer raised her brows before she said, “Even if I let you off, who can bring my dead mother back to life then? Do you know how miserable my mother was when she drank a bottle of pesticide and laid in the hospital bed as she tried desperately to catch her breath as she suffocated to death?”Elaine burst into tears as she said, “Sister Jennifer…I know that you are a filial daughter but I have not harmed your mother in any way…”Jennifer replied angrily, “You are still trying to talk nonsense with me? Let me tell you something. My mother was killed because of her unfilial daughter-in-law! That is the reason wh

At a little after eight o’clock in the morning, Charlie drove the old man out of the villa.There was still more than two hours before the plane landed but Jacob could not wait any longer.After leaving the villa at Thompson First, Jacob hurriedly asked Charlie, “My dear son-in-law, do you know where I can buy a bouquet of flowers? I want to buy a bouquet of roses to give to Matilda.”Charlie replied, “Dad, your classmate will be bringing her son along with her today. Do you really think that it will be appropriate for you to give her roses in front of her son?”Jacob thought to himself for a few moment before he nodded and said, “You are right. I should just give her an ordinary bouquet of flowers then.”Charlie replied, “I know of a flower shop nearby. We can go there and buy a bouquet of flowers first.”As soon as they arrived at the flower shop, Charlie spent five hundred dollars to ask the florist to help him to prepare a bouquet of flowers that symbolizes friendship. After

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

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!

Soon, the video of Mick's staged act was uploaded to the online group, and everyone eagerly watched it as soon as it was done uploading.Mick certainly set a new bar with his acting as none of them could see that it was an act.Moreover, everyone could see that the bronze sculpture looked like the real deal, and they might have been swindled if it were them.As such, they couldn't help being impressed as Mick had easily seen through Billy's con, and he was the definition of a pro in that video.No matter how Billy had packaged it, there was no tricking real experts like Mick Crane. Just a quick glance and he had seen through that it was a postmodern replica, matched with a base from the Renaissance era to misdirect and beguile.With that, many fellow antique dealers changed their opinion of Mick.After all, Vintage Deluxe's business had been declining after Mick took over as manager, and people were presuming that his skills were lacking.But now, they were all shown that he had

"Amazing, Mr. Crane!""It's Mr. Crane who shines through, in the end! His eyes see through everything!""I guess Miss Moore made the right choice firing Raymond and appointing Mr. Crane! Mr. Crane is infinitely better!"Mick was immediately thrilled to see them fawning over him, and he laughed, "You flatter me—I'm merely sharing my personal perspective on this. In this trade, anyone who knows would understand how hard it is to get the good stuff in this age of technology.""There are plenty of people who hold ulterior motives and change their tactics knowing that there are always those scheming to get their hands on vintage treasures, so they just have to make it. That is how they started making counterfeits of everything, from scrolls to sculptures to statues, each of them so real just to trick those fools who think they could get rich overnight!""Exactly!" Someone promptly agreed. "There's never a lack of any such fools, and I just happened to meet one. I had this piece of jade
