Jasmine hurriedly waved her hand before she said, “Actually, my brother is pretty capable too. In fact, I really have no intention of inheriting the Moore family in the future. I simply want to make sure that my grandfather will not just be swept out of the house after he dies…”Charlie smiled slightly before he replied in a serious manner, “As long as I am around, I will never allow this sort of thing to happen.”Jasmine was really very grateful and she was overwhelmed with emotions at this time. She rubbed her eyes before she said, “Master Wade, I will send you to the Serene World Clinic now.”After that, Jasmine started the car before she drove out of the Moore family mansion.At this time at Serene World Clinic, Anthony and Xyla were both cleaning up all the herbs and materials from the medicine cabinet that had been smashed to the ground by the Webb family’s bodyguards.When Anthony saw Charlie and Jasmine walking into Serene World Clinic, he hurriedly stepped forward and sai

As Jasmine, Xyla, Charlie, and Anthony were talking about Kian’s affair, Charlie’s father-in-law, Jacob, was dressed in a suit as he happily walked out of his house and took a cab to The Heaven Springs.Since he was going to enjoy a little wine tonight, Jacob left his BMW at home. He had already given Charlie his car keys so Charlie could drive to The Heaven Springs to pick him up after his dinner.Jacob has no other hobbies during this period and he simply enjoyed studying antiques, cultural relics, and calligraphy and painting. That was the reason why he joined the Calligraphy and Painting Association.The reason why Jacob decided to buy everyone dinner tonight was because he wanted to contest for the position of the standing director of the association.In order to show his respect for the leaders of the association, he deliberately took the twenty thousand dollars that Charlie had transferred to him before he booked a bronze room at The Heaven Springs.Even though this was the

“Chester Scotson?” Jacob could not help but frown as he asked, “Are you talking about that old man who likes to brag to the point that he doesn’t even remember his last name just because he has a little money?”Morgan nodded before he said, “Yes. My support for you alone won’t be enough. When the other guests arrive later, you’ll have to try to win the support of the president and the other directors. That way, you might actually have a chance to defeat Chester in the internal voting and become the executive director instead. Do you understand what I’m saying?”Jacob nodded hurriedly as he said sincerely, “Brother Morgan, thank you for your sincere advice. You’re really inspiring! Thank you so much!”Morgan smiled slightly before he said, “Brother, why are you being so polite with me?”After that, Morgan glanced at the time on his watch before he said, “The chairman and the rest of the guests will also be here soon. Let’s wait for them at the door. That way, it will seem that you a

When everyone in the room heard that Chester had actually booked a Gold Room upstairs, they were all shocked!The Heaven Springs was one of the top restaurants in the entire Aurous Hill.Even some of the savvy and prestigious figures from the upper class society in Aurous Hill hardly had the opportunity to book a Gold Room even if they spent a lot of money or made use of the connections that they had to do so.Among everyone present here tonight, even Mr. Bay who had the highest status had never had the chance to enter the Gold Room for dinner. They had never been able to step into the Gold Room to see how luxurious it was.Now, Chester was actually offering to entertain all of his guests in the Gold Room at The Heaven Springs tonight. All of the guests in the room were in fact very surprised and excited when they heard that they would have the opportunity to go in and see the Gold Room for themselves!In comparison, Jacob’s small Bronze Room was now completely incomparable to the

Therefore, among all the people present here today, not one of them had even been up to the fifth floor of Glorious Club.Even Chester himself could only afford the lowest Classic membership tier at Glorious Club. Therefore, everyone naturally did not believe it when Jacob said that he had been to the tenth floor of Glorious Club before.Jacob really did not expect everyone to think that he was only bragging when he was simply telling them the truth. Therefore, he replied uncomfortably, “My son-in-law was the one who arranged for me and some of my old classmates to go up to the tenth floor of Glorious Club that night.”Chester laughed before he said, “I know who your son-in-law is. He is just a useless and casual son-in-law in Aurous Hill, isn’t it? I heard that he’s just a vagrant who is living off his wife. He’s almost as pathetic as you, so can he really afford to bring you to Glorious Club?”Jacob snorted coldly before he said, “It is entirely up to you whether you believe me

The expression on Jacob’s face was obviously very ugly after getting ridiculed by Chester.However, Jacob kept Morgan’s reminder in mind and he reminded himself that the most important thing was to win the position of the executive director at the end of the day. Therefore, he should not lose his temper and get angry at Chester.Jacob held back his anger and he did not say anything anymore. Instead, he simply followed the crowd of people as they followed Chester all the way to the Gold Room that he had already booked upstairs.As soon as they stepped into the Gold Room, everyone was very surprised as they admired the luxurious decorations in the Gold Room.At this time, one of the directors could not help but exclaim out loud, “It’s all thanks to Chester that we can get this opportunity to take a look at the Gold Room inside The Heaven Springs today!”Someone echoed, “Yes! Not too long ago, a friend of mine who had tens of millions of dollars wanted to book the Gold Room. However,

Jacob could only grit his teeth in anger.If he knew that Chester would be so vicious to keep insulting and humiliating him like this, Jacob would not have agreed to come up to the Gold Room at all.***Jacob was completely speechless and at a loss for words.At this time, Albert has just stopped his car at the entrance of The Heaven Springs.The first thing that he did after getting out of his car was to hurriedly ask the manager who opened the car door for him, “Is there a customer named Jacob Wilson who reserved one of the rooms at our restaurant today?”“Yes. He booked the Bronze Room No. 3.” The manager kept a careful record of the guests who came to the restaurant every day. Therefore, he naturally knew every single guest who booked a room at The Heaven Springs today.Albert nodded slightly before he hurriedly said, “Come. Come with me to the Bronze Room No. 3 now!”While he was still at Lord Moore’s birthday banquet, Master Wade had informed him that his father-in-law wo

Everyone turned around to look out the door as soon as they heard this voice. At this time, they saw Albert walking into the room with the manager.Chester naturally knew who Albert was. When he saw that Albert was here, he quickly stepped forward before he said respectfully, “Don Albert, why are you here personally?”Unexpectedly, Albert glanced at him with a cold expression on his face as he said, “Were you the one who called Mr. Wilson a pathetic fool earlier?”Chester was stunned at this time. What was happening? Did Albert know Jacob?As he thought about this, he hurriedly explained, “Don Albert, this is probably all just a misunderstanding. Both Jacob and I are members of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and we share a very good and close relationship with one another. Therefore, it’s only natural for us to ridicule and make fun of each other occasionally.”Albert frowned before he looked at Jacob and said respectfully, “Mr. Wilson, I really did not expect you to per

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A
