Elliot broke out in cold sweat upon hearing Henry's words. As things took a sharp turn and started heading south, Elliot was flustered and fear started bombarding his mind. "Mr. Meyer, please give me another chance, he pleaded again. His mind was blank. He had no idea how things had progressed to their current state. Nothing seemed to be making sense. Was James not a delivery man? How did he know Henry Meyer? Did the CEO of Life Long Collectible just decide to fire him because of James Miller, the loser? "Give you another chance?" Henry sneered. "You've tried every trick In the book to cheat using my company's name. Do you honestly think I will let you stay to cause further damage?" He was furious. "Mr. Meyer, here's Elliot Forcados's information," Henry's assistant handed a tablet to him. Henry glanced at the briefly and scoffed, "I'm curious how someone with a piece of paper from a degree mill could land a job as a director at my branch office. I must have a word with the pe

"it's a small thing, not worth mentioning," James looked straight ahead on the road, his hands on the steering wheel. "Moreover, Henry Meyer didn't bother to mention the incident, and I have no intention of reminding him. In my case...""In my case, my parents would not believe you even if you tell the truth," Ava finished his sentence. She knew her husband like the back of her hand.James smiled and did not reply, he continued to drive in silence.On the other hand, Ava regretted what she said and lowered her head. Even though James was unhappy in the past, he seemed to have changed recently.More importantly, Ava knew better than anyone that she would not be able to hold on to her general manager position at the branch office if it was not for James. He was always supportive and humble."I owe you so much, James," she put her hand on top of his and said softly."Don't worry about it," he shook his head without care.___The next day___James started preparation for moving into the ne

"This Jade bangle should be an antique from the silk road. It was a gift from China to a Roman emperor. They originally came in a pair but one was accidentally broken by the treasure hunters who dug it up from some ruins. The only one left found its way onto the antique market and passed through quite a few hands before ending up here." "If I didn't recall wrongly, when the media mogul of HonorGrave, Benson weather's daughter got married last month, she wore this very Jade bangle." Henry said, "Mr. Zinolesky, may I remind you that Benson's weather daughter is Mr. Davis Grey's goddaughter. Do you think a leading authority on antiques like Mr. Davis Grey will give a fake jade bangle to his goddaughter as a wedding gift?" "As for this inkwell here," eyeing it disdainfully, James scoffed, "it's not exactly an antique, but neither is it fake. Someone had gone through a lot of trouble to patch up and repaint an old, almost completely broken inkwell. "The handiwork is not bad though. Mos

"At best, we are on a tie now," sneered Jenny. She was defiant and not convinced. She added, "You can only take the antique shop for Life Long Group if you win us.""James you look scared. I guess you can't afford loose, huh?"How could that be? It just so happens that Mr. Xavier is here too. He can act as our witness," replied James, putting a faint smile on his face.Despite that Xavier was the chief appraiser of Life Long Collectible, he was very trustworthy and reliable since he was the leading authority in the antique market of HonorGrave."Sure, I'm okay with it," said Kent while blinking his eyes. At that, he thought to himself, "Well, I guess Xavier would not have the nerve to favour Life Long Group in front of so many witnesses here!""Go to the stupid study and bring me the amphora," said Kent while waving his hands at the man."Yes, Kent," the man replied. Soon Kent men brought out the amphora and displayed it to everyone.It was obvious that Kent was trying to show off. "T

Xavier picked up a piece of the broken amphora and felt it between his fingers. "James is right. This Amphora is a counterfeit said, Xavier.Kent's hands froze in mid-air when he heard Xavier. Kent turned to look at Xavier in shock."What did just say?" Asked Kent."How can this be a counterfeit?" Questioned Kent agitatedly.The room went quiet. The turn of events has left everybody in shock."Take a look at this," Xavier said as he pointed to the grooves inside of the amphora. "If the amphora is indeed from thousands of years ago, the grooves would not be so distinct and perfect," explained Xavier."With just a look, anyone can tell that this is just an imitation made by modern craft," Xavier added."What... This is impossible!" Kent snatched a piece of the broken amphora from Xavier and continued in disbelief, "My team of experts and I, had verified that it was genuine when I got this years ago."I'm ashamed," Xavier said as he shook his head and turned to look at James with much ad
