Elaine asked coldly, “Are you sure?”Jacob hurriedly said, “Yes, I’m sure. Why would I lie to you? Don’t you think that it is inappropriate for you to be talking about this now? Isn’t the most important thing right now to get treatment for your injuries? Is your leg broken?”Elaine had been so focused on finding out about Jacob’s affairs that she had already forgotten that she was here to seek treatment for her injured and broken leg. She was only reminded of the pain in her right leg when Jacob suddenly mentioned it.So, Elaine hurriedly said to Claire, “My good daughter, bring your mom to see the doctor now! I do not want to end up with any disability!”***After going to the emergency ward and seeing the doctor, Elaine had an X-ray of her leg taken at the doctor’s request. After that, Claire asked nervously, “Doctor, how is my mother’s situation?”Elaine was also afraid that something bad would happen to her, and she hurriedly asked, “Yes, doctor. What is the result of the exa

After getting a plaster cast at the Silverwing Hospital, Jacob drove Elaine home to recuperate.Elaine kept scolding Jacob who was sitting beside her. At the same time, she was trying to figure out why Jacob was dressed up so glamorously to attend the gathering today.However, Jacob’s mouth was tighter than a safe.He wanted to wait for a good opportunity to discuss the divorce with Elaine tonight. Therefore, he knew that he certainly could not allow Elaine to find out about Matilda before that.In the other car, Charlie drove Claire who had red eyes as they followed behind Jacob’s car slowly.Claire was very sympathetic toward her mother. After all, she was her daughter. Whoever saw their mother undergoing so much torture and suffering so many injuries, would definitely feel very uncomfortable.In addition, she was also worried about the relationship between her father and mother.She knew that her father was in love with Matilda. She also knew that her mother was so much worse

Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “Don’t worry about this. Although I am not a very promising person, I am not someone that anyone can easily deal with.”Isaac sighed as he said, “Young Master, you still have to be careful. Do not neglect the Webb family or take them lightly. The Webb family has already offered a cash reward of three hundred million dollars for Cain and Marcus’s life. Countless people are already hunting the father and son down throughout the world. As soon as the father and son expose themselves, they will definitely be hacked to death by countless people.”Charlie asked curiously, “Does anyone know where the father and son have gone to?”Isaac replied, “I heard that they already went abroad. However, no one knows which country they went to because they used fake passports when they left.”Charlie nodded. Although he did not say anything, he knew very well that the reason why the Webb family wanted to hunt down the father and son was actually because of the

The two BMW cars drove one after the other as they returned to the villa at Thompson First.Jacob’s dissatisfaction grew even stronger as Elaine continued scolding him throughout the entire way home.When he first received the phone call from Elaine, he was busy singing a love song with his first love. Therefore, he had a guilty conscience. When he heard her angry tone over the phone, he rushed to the hospital in a hurry.After calming himself down a little, he felt that Elaine was really hopeless.Therefore, Jacob’s intention of divorcing her became even stronger.After getting out of the car, Jacob went to the back seat to take out the crutches that they bought from the hospital before he passed it directly to Elaine.Elaine was initially waiting for Jacob to help her to get into the house. She even thought that he would be carrying her into the house. Unexpectedly, he simply passed the crutches to her.Elaine held the crutches in her hands as she yelled, “Jacob Wilson! You ol

Charlie responded before he stepped into the kitchen.In truth, there was still a box of eggs in the refrigerator. Since he did not want to give Elaine any single one of the eggs at all, he broke all of the eggs before pouring them into the drainage system. Although it would be a little wasteful to pour them into the drainage system, Charlie felt that it was even more wasteful if it went into Elaine’s stomach.After that, Charlie grabbed a pot and boiled some hot water before he threw in a handful of noodles into the pot.As he was preparing the noodles, he suddenly received a text message on his cell phone.He opened his text messages and he realized that someone had sent a text message to him in the group chat, ‘Aurous Hill Welfare Institute Friends’.The twenty to thirty people in this group chat consisted of the group of orphans who have been taken in and raised by Mrs. Lewis. All of them had already integrated into society for many years now, and most of them were already sca

A friend named Harvey Carver said in the group chat: [Yes! Mrs. Lewis has finally recovered from such a critical illness. If all of the children that she personally raised and brought up did not come back to see her immediately, she might feel a little disappointed then.]Max replied: [Let’s do this then. Why don’t we find a five-star hotel to treat Mrs. Lewis to a nice welcome dinner then?]Stephanie replied: [Max, we do not need to be so extravagant. Mrs. Lewis has always lived such a thrifty life. She will definitely feel a little distressed if we brought her to eat at such an extravagant place. Why don’t we just eat at the small restaurant that has been serving home-cooked food for many years in front of the entrance of the orphanage?]Charlie could not help but sigh at this time. He was filled with emotions as he thought about the small home-cooked restaurant that had already been operating for more than ten years.During his eighteenth birthday, Mrs. Lewis used all of the mon

Charlie could not help feeling a little excited at the thought of meeting Mrs. Lewis again soon.He had never seen Mrs. Lewis again ever since he had gotten scolded for trying to borrow money from Lady Wilson at her birthday banquet. This was because Stephen had sent Mrs. Lewis directly to Eastcliff after that.Charlie had a very deep relationship with Mrs. Lewis, and he regarded her as his own mother.When Mrs. Lewis fell ill, Charlie tried desperately to raise money. He even secretly tried to sell his blood to raise some money. He also took a lot of money from Claire in private in an effort to keep Mrs. Lewis alive.If he did not do everything that he could to help Mrs. Lewis raise some money for her treatment, Mrs. Lewis would never have been able to wait for Stephen to arrive. She would have already been dead a long time ago.However, Charlie felt that this was something that he should be doing. Even by doing this, he could probably only repay about one ten thousandths of Mrs.

Elaine suddenly felt very sad when she heard this!She had only been gone for the past two days, but everyone in the family seemed to have a different attitude toward her now.Her husband was ignoring her and had even lost his temper with her. Her son-in-law was also no longer the same son-in-law who was always at the mercy of others. He even dared to get angry at her and asked her to move back to their own house.Even her good daughter that she could always rely on was no longer standing on her side.She would never have dreamt that her daughter would actually take Charlie’s side at this time.She had always been a drama queen. When she saw that she was about to lose power in this house, her eyes flushed red as she started to put on an act.She choked pitifully as she said, “I am now superfluous in this house. Your father does not care about me anymore. Your husband is threatening to kick me out of this house and you are not even standing on my side anymore…”As she spoke, Elai

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!
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6478
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
