The razor was really $20,000. The O’Brien family was stunned at what they got. This inevitably led them to believe everything else, including those bags, each costing over $2 million each. They still couldn’t understand how a stay-at-home dad, who was expectedly munching off of his wife’s earnings.Xavier chuckled nervously as he stared at the slight cockiness seeping through the expressions of Jonathan and Lesley. As for Miles, his intentions were canceled behind his mask of calmness. “Mr. Blaine, I have to say that I’m a bit jealous of you right now. I heard of the $50 million that you won at the antique fair in the city. At first, I wasn’t sure if it was you. I even assumed that they were talking about a totally different man who just had the same name as you. Yet, it seems they were really talking about you. With that kind of money in your possession, it’s understandable how you’re able to casually purchase those bags for your daughter and still buy these insanely expensive razors

There was a short and lean old man in a black tailored suit. Due to Xavier’s keen eyes when it comes to quality materials, he was able to tell that this suit was quite exquisite. In conclusion, the man standing by the door was definitely a high-class man.The old man in a black suit dropped his head slightly in a show of respect. “Apologies for the sudden intrusion. My name is Coleman Black.”“Coleman Black?” Xavier squinted his eyes with a frown as he stared at this man in silence. His eyes suddenly widened in shock as he finally recognized him. “Oh my goodness! Wait, you’re the Coleman Black?! As in Coleman Black, the President of Prismone Jewelry?!”“Oh!” Coleman Black had a slightly astonished expression on his face. “You recognize me?” He stood with a straight back as he readdressed himself. “I’m Coleman Black, the President of Prismone Jewelry Store – the elite-tier jewelry store in Dominion City. Nice to meet you.“Oh my goodness!” Xavier was lost for words, truly. Of course, h

Everyone immediately noticed the change in Coleman’s demeanor when he asked Laura that question. The air was silent but filled with awkwardness, and Laura felt the burn of it as she was left stunned by that question.“Um… I’m Laura O’Brien, the lady of this house.” She spoke with a tone that conveyed she was a bit embarrassed. Her reaction was caused by the humiliation she felt just now. Coleman had spoken to her dismissively as if reprimanding her for speaking. “You’re in my house.” Her voice went stiffer than she intended. This was truly an embarrassing situation for her.“Oh, I totally forgot.” Coleman’s gaze shifted around the house with little interest and a trace of disdain seeping out from his gaze before he returned his focus to Miles.Lesley was struggling to hold in her laughter at this point, and her father was glaring at her, silently telling her not to dare laugh, while he was also struggling to keep his smile at bay.Miles looked at the beautiful necklace. “Lila would lo

“Both of them.” Miles didn’t hesitate to give his answer before moving back to the important topic. “Have you noticed that every single one of these visitors in my living room right now are all high-class merchants of Dominion City?” He smiled wider as he saw the shock grow on his father-in-law’s face. It was clear that Jonathan had never thought about that until Miles mentioned it. “Now that they know that the import channels to regional raw materials along the borders of Dominion City and the private import channels, which are far richer than the former, are both in my possession, they know that it is now possible for them to negotiate some individual deal with me. This was never the case when the Import channels were in the possession of Caleb Autumn as that man was bound by his position to the city as the Jewelry industry leader.”Jonathan took in a deep breath as he slowly wrapped his head around everything Miles had just explained to him. “I see. So what are you going to do abou

Caleb took a deep breath. "First, we establish a consortium, with representatives from the Blaine family, the Autumn family, and the Dominion City Council. This consortium will oversee the management and distribution of the import channels, ensuring that all parties benefit."The room buzzed with murmurs. This was an unexpected move, but it showed Caleb’s willingness to cooperate and maintain control.Miles smiled and without answering turned to the merchants. "You will have the opportunity to bid for access through the consortium. This ensures transparency and fairness."Caleb frowned and Nigel could not help but chuckle at Miles's speech. He knew deep down Miles just squashed any hope for them to get an exclusive right to the channel. And yet he plans to hear them out. Nigel could not help but be impressed by the young man's charisma.Miles turned to the gentleman. "Agreed. Now, let's work out the details."As the discussions began in earnest, Jonathan watched with a sense of awe. M
