Jacob would never have dreamt that he would receive another phone call from Matilda in this lifetime.What was more unexpected was the fact that Matilda was going to return to Oskia!Matilda went to the United States immediately after they graduated from college. After that, she continued living in the United States after she was done with her studies. None of their old classmates had seen her again ever since that day. It has already been more than twenty years since then.However, although he had not seen each other for more than twenty years, Jacob could not help but feel his heart getting stirred up as soon as he heard her voice.Therefore, he hurriedly asked, “Matilda, you…are you really coming back to Aurous Hill? When will you be coming back?”Matilda smiled before she said, “I will be getting on the plane soon. If everything goes smoothly, I will arrive at Aurous Hill by eleven o’clock in the morning. We should be able to have dinner together with all of our old classmates

”Yes!” Jacob replied excitedly, “The main point is that her husband is already dead! Hahaha! Don’t you think that god is helping me too?”Charlie nodded slightly before he said, “But dad, mom is not dead…”The expression on Jacob’s face changed before he said embarrassingly, “Don’t get me wrong. I am not cursing or hoping for her to be dead!”As he spoke, Jacob sighed before he said, “Don’t you think that it would be great if Elaine really eloped with another man, just like Hannah did?”Charlie shook his head helplessly. He was afraid that Jacob’s heart had already been fully occupied by Matilda who was about to return to Oskia soon. All the feelings that Jacob had left for Elaine had already completely disappeared.Charlie could only sigh as he said. “If Claire can accept mom’s disappearance as an elopement with someone else, then that would be perfect.”If Claire had the same attitude as Jacob did, then Charlie would just let Elaine disappear from the face of this world.For s

Elaine felt seriously wronged as she laid on bed.She had not eaten anything for more than twelve hours now and she had endured a severe and violent beating. She was already starving at this point. Even if she could live without eating or drinking anything, she could not stop her stomach from growling or making any noise!However, Elaine did not dare to offend Jennifer.After all, this stinky woman would hit and beat her really hard.Elaine thought that everything would be okay if she simply covered her head with her blanket and tried to fall asleep instead. Who would have expected her unsatisfied belly to grumble at a moment like this?Jennifer stood up immediately before she stomped toward Elaine and greeted her with a tight slap across her face. Elaine felt that her extremely swollen cheeks were already exploding in pain after this slap from Jennifer.Elaine could only plead desperately, “I am sorry. I am sorry. I didn't mean to do it…”Since she had already lost her two fron

After all, wouldn’t she have done the same if she was in the same situation as Elaine?Therefore, Lady Wilson did not intend to be kind or gracious toward Elaine at all.Moreover, Lady Wilson could not help but remember the humiliation that she had suffered at the villa at Thompson First today. At this time, she said coldly, “This is the result and price that you are paying for your own actions! You should just enjoy the consequences of your actions! This is just the first day. We are going to spend another fourteen days together!”After she was done speaking, Lady Wilson snorted coldly before she turned around and walked out of the toilet.Elaine was sitting on the toilet floor and she felt very hungry and cold. She really felt like crying because she was so helpless and desperate at this point. However, she immediately covered her mouth when she thought of the fierce and vicious Jennifer.However, she could not help it in the end and she simply hugged her legs tightly as she bur

Claire originally did not know that Jacob had been drinking.However, after approaching Jacob, she could smell the strong scent of alcohol from his body. She could not help but feel very angry at her father at this time!She knew that her father normally enjoyed drinking. She has absolutely no opinion on his actions at all. However, the point was that her father told her that he would be going to several mahjong halls to look for her mother. Why did he come back drunk then?This…this simply proved that he did not go to look for her mother at all! He simply went out to…drink!When Jacob heard Claire asking if he had been drinking, Jacob hurriedly covered his mouth and took a few steps back as he was in a state of panic. After that, he hurriedly said, “Don’t talk nonsense! I was not drinking!”“You are the one who is talking nonsense right now!” Claire stomped her feet angrily, “I can smell the scent of alcohol on your body! You did not have the scent of alcohol on your body when yo

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

Zachary was instantly relieved to hear that Jacob's flight was taking off soon.The issue at hand was troublesome, but he would at least have time to come up with a plan if he was given more time.Moreover, Jacob didn't know anything and would be in Dubai in a few hours. Most importantly, he wouldn't be bothered with Aurous Hill gossip when he arrived, giving Zachary more time to deal with this mess.As such, Zachary quickly said, "Oh, nothing, Mr. President. I was just calling to check on your flight, but since you're flying now, I'm sure the air stewardess will be asking you to turn the flight mode on. I shan't be a bother now—I wish you safe travels with the missus!" Seeing how cordial Zachary was, Jacob chuckled, "How nice of you. I'll definitely get you some local souvenirs!""Oh, then allow me to thank you ahead of time, Mr. President!" Zachary exclaimed, as subservient as ever."Uh-huh," Jacob replied. "Well, I'm hanging up now. Let's catch up later.""Yes, yes, yes, let

Mr. Cardensky's forgery syndicate had made the bronze sculpture—all Zachary had done was talk Jacob into buying it, and Jacob himself had made some money after Raymond bought it.That meant the entire plot had nothing to do with Zachary as he was just a mediator at best.In other words, if the bronze sculpture was worth nothing, he didn't lose anything… although he wouldn't make a cent even if it was worth a hundred million.However, he also knew all too well what Jacob Wilson was like.In fact, in this world, he was only second to Charlie when it came to knowing what type of man Jacob Wilson really was—not even Claire or Elaine would win against them.He was a dead man.That was Zachary's immediate thought on the matter, should Jacob ever find out.After all, Jacob was precisely one of those people who didn't play by any rules—no buyer's regret? No seller's remorse? None of that applied to him.Not even the Gods could make Jacob offer a refund if he scalped them. And vice vers

As Mick Crane had established a corrupted hierarchy in Vintage Deluxe, he had to make sure his position was never threatened by Raymond Cole.That was why he wanted Raymond gone, and it was obvious from that how important self-gain was to him.However, though he plotted to protect this job with a salary of several hundred grand per annum and incentives worth just as much, he didn't think that doing so meant he had missed out on 20 million.And to add insult to injury, that 20 million had ended up in Raymond's pocket.Mick wasn't just thunderstruck—he wished he was dead.Hanging up on Trippy right then, he called Zachary directly since Zachary had told him earlier that text notifications from his number would be silenced.Zachary was just about to fall asleep when his phone began buzzing.Already annoyed when he picked up his phone, he immediately snapped at Mick when he saw who the caller was. "I told you! Text me if you have any updates, and I'll check it when I wake up! Why ar

As Ian Cash's trio turned and left Treasure Measure, Trippy was still standing there, staring blankly as they headed off to the distance, utterly dispirited.Seeing that, Raymond returned his phone and said coolly, "We had agreed on some ground rules, but not only did you break them, you even tried to sabotage me.""Since you refuse to be honorable, you can't blame me for being cold—starting now, we shall have nothing to do with each other. We'll be strangers even if we bump into each other."Trippy was already choking, and he snatched his phone back before dashing out of Treasure Measure, calling Mick Crane as soon as he left.Mick had just arrived at Vintage Deluxe and hadn't even sat down when Trippy called, and he asked as soon as he answered, "How did it go? What did you find out?"However, Trippy was so exasperated he burst into tears right then, "M-Mr. Crane… My dear Mr. Crane…"Mick was left reeling from shock, and he promptly snapped, "Can't you fucking talk? Why are you

Seeing that the transaction was complete and that the bargain deal had been taken, the other collectors all excused themselves and left.As for Ian, once he had bagged the bronze sculpture, he nodded at Raymond. "I apologize for leaving early, Mr. Cole, but I must return to Eastcliff. However, you can contact me again should you pick up another treasure. I'm quite a spendthrift, and I pay up right away if the item is good and the price is right."Raymond smiled. "Very well. I shall contact you first the next time I get something good."Ian nodded and was ready to leave with his two friends when Trippy chased after them."Please, Mr. Cash!" He cried urgently, his anxiety overcoming him. "You shouldn't buy that! It's a forgery!"Ian frowned at him. "Are you trying to sabotage Mr. Cole? Aren't you supposed to be his friend?""Hell, no!" Trippy promptly replied. "I'm no friend of his—I'm just here to watch, but I didn't think he dared to trick you for 20 million! I can't bear to see

No one except Raymond expected that the terms would be agreed upon so quickly.He was utterly confident in his judgment and even more so in his value appraisal.He was convinced that once they had a good look, any one of these collectors who could afford twenty million wouldn't miss this bargain.After all, an opportunity to secure an item worth millions more than the price they paid was very rare.In fact, when the other nine collectors heard that the first collector was buying it, it was only to be expected even if it left them all gloomy. They had all held the bronze sculpture in their hands—they knew it was definitely worth that much.However, no one in the room was more shocked than Trippy.He looked utterly flabbergasted, his eyes wide and bulging as he stared at the bronze sculpture while asking himself the same question repeatedly.Was that crap really worth twenty million? How?!While Trippy was still stunned, Raymond had already sent his payment details to the first

Unable to nitpick on the air stewardess' response, Elaine pouted, "Well, try to ask management to improve on your first-class cabins anyway. Maybe even make a premium-class or something since it's not like we can't afford it."The air stewardess quickly said, "We will definitely relay your message to the management."Nodding in satisfaction, Elaine waved her off. "Alright. You can go back to work now."Clearly relieved, the air stewardess bowed her head respectfully. "Always happy to be of service."After the air stewardess left, Jacob asked Elaine in curiosity, "Was the private jet that good?"Elaine rolled her eyes. "Didn't you see the stuff I posted in the chat group?""Not really," Jacob blurted. Elaine was ready to snap at him for not caring, but considering that they had made up now and she shouldn't fuss too much over the little things, she snorted, "Just remember to like and comment on all my posts in the chat group, otherwise, I will make you regret it!""No problem!"

While the ten collectors were taking turns studying the bronze sculpture, Jacob and Elaine were boarding their flight.As they were flying first-class, they had priority over the other passengers and boarded from the separate plug door at the first-class section.The capacity of the Boeing 777 was huge, and the wide-body aircraft could be connected to a special double corridor bridge where first class and business class passengers boarded separately from the economy class passengers.As the terminals to economy class and business class were connected, Elaine and Jacob were able to get through the first-class terminal unimpeded, but the passengers in economy class had a queue of over two hundred passengers. Even as she walked, Elaine was looking over her shoulder and exclaiming at Jacob, "Must be nice being rich! We used to have to queue like the rest of them, waiting for over thirty minutes just to board our flight." "In first class, we may be in the same plane, but we don't hav

Meanwhile, once Raymond had briefed everyone about the rules, he opened the door and invited everyone into Treasure Measure.It was not that wide but appeared spacious since the interior was mostly empty—it was not really crowded even with thirty-ish people.Then, locking the door from the inside, Raymond told them, "I can tell from everyone's faces that we are all veterans here, so I'm sure you understand the rules while appraising: no photos or videos, thank you very much."Indeed, there were many rules that governed the hobby, the most important being respecting the seller's requests and privacy.As the collectors listened, they knew that Raymond was selling but did not want the public to know too much about him.They all nodded, and those who had their phones out slid them back into their pockets.With that, Raymond took out the bronze sculpture that he had brought, leaving Trippy a little surprised.He had never seen the bronze sculpture with his own eyes before, only from
