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
"Oh, it's you." Ava turned around to see James. Relieved, Ava said, "You scared me." "What are you scared of?" Holding his wife in his arms, James smiled into the twinkling light. "Scared just because of this? I never knew my wife was so timid." "Who... Who said I was scared?" Ava pretended to be angry and poked him. "Didn't I say not to pick me up?" James took the key from Ava's hand and said "I had nothing to do at home anyway, and besides, it's very late and I was worried about you driving home alone." Hearing his words, Ava was very touched. Ava and James got into the car and quickly drove out of the underground carpark. They chatted about Ava's work for that day. Although Ava was tired, it was clear that she found it very rewarding. Starting from the first street, James noticed two black Mercedes-Benz were trailing behind their car. James frowned slightly and stepped down harder on the accelerator, heading straight for Downvilla district. "What's wrong?" Ava, feeling th
Elliot turned crazy and stepped on the pedal.However, the moment the car was about to hit James, he closed his eyes in fear.They thundered a mighty bang.Something got hit.When Elliot opened his eyes again, he didn't see James' body. There was only wreckage of several luxury cars."James... James..." Ava was shuddering as blood trickled down one corner of her forehead."Where is James?" Asked Benson as he crane his neck out of the window and cast a glance around. He resumed, "Was he bumped into the air...?No sooner had he finished his words, a figure unexpectedly appeared on his car roof.The figure grabbed his hand and swiftly gave Benson a few punches. Benson struggled for a while and soon lost consciousness.Elliot realized something bad was happening and became fully alert, rushing to start the car."Go to hell, James!" He stamped down at the accelerator. Little did he expect that James was on the roof of his car."Stop it, stop it, Elliot." Ava cried, worrying that James migh
Upon hearing these words, Mrs. Bailey was furious. "You pompous loser. What good are you except bringing us trouble?"Both tone and anger of Mrs. Bailey intensified as she scolded James, and her voice grew louder and louder."My daughter is dying there in the operating room, and it is all your fault. Stop giving her more misery and leave this place, will you, Mr. Miller?""Get lost!" You're a cursed man and a troublemaker."My daughter shouldn't have married you.""Joseph," Mrs. Bailey called her husband as she may on the bench, her face fearful, "We've made a huge mistake letting Ava get married to that bastard. It is us who her in this jeopardy.""What are we doing here, James?" Oliver said, silently gloating. "Your presence only makes Mrs. Bailey uncomfortable."James ignored him and walked to the door of the operating room, his eyes glued to the words on it.He has made up his mind that he'd never leave until he was told Ava was safe and sound.Getting late at night, the corridor
A clanging sound was heard.The signboard of the century-old family of antique valuators fell to the ground in an instant and shattered all over the place."Who... Who are you, people?" Fred who was still unclear about the situation pointed at James and the others and shouted, "How dare you break into the zinolesky house?"James did not speak and sat on the couch. His hands were placed on his thighs and his face was expressionless."We know," Henry said arrogantly. "Isn't it just the family of antique valuators?"As soon as Henry spoke, Daniel took a bag from his subordinates and threw it on the ground. "Are you talking about this?"Plank!The shattered pieces of the signboard fell to the ground.Fred's voice fell flat. "You... You smashed our Zinolesky family's old signboard?""It's exactly your precious signboard that we just smashed." James suddenly broke his silence. "Where's your son?""Who do you think you are?" Fred pointed with his trembling fingers and shouted, "The zinolesky
After hearing what James said, Benson and Elliot looked at each other."I will smash this!""I will smash this!"They started smashing the priceless Antique with all their might as if they competed.Fred was pressed against the sofa. "No, you can't smash them! You can't smash them!" He said as he watched them, tears almost falling out of his eyes. "They are all priceless antiques. Please you cannot smash them!"However, James did not even bat an eyelid at Fred's plea."Mr. Zinolesky," said Leo as he hobbled in one of the crutches. "Your antiques are worth nothing to Mr. Miller.""Mr. Miller?" Fred looked terrified. There was terror in his eyes as he looked from Leo to James."I think you are still unaware," said Leo. Then he said with authority, "This man here is the next in line of the Bailey Group, Mr. Miller.""The Ba... Bailey Group?" Fred's eyes were filled with fear. It went without saying that he knew how powerful the Bailey Group was."That's right," said Leo. He narrowed his
James raised the whip and prepare to lash. Henry was so scared he bit his lip.Only Leo did not bat an eyelid.Bam! James threw the whip onto the table."Leo, did you think I will fall for your trick?""But Mr. Miller, Henry had..." Leo tried to explain but was cut off."Enough already. All the trouble makers have been dealt with," said James. He pointed his finger at Henry and curved it like a hook. He was indicating for Henry to stand up."I'm not going to punish you, but you didn't do your job well," said James to Henry.When Davis Grey first appeared, he helped Life Long Group snare several talented people. It takes a long time to groom people to be ready to take one shot. But you'd allowed others to have something to hold against you. Now I'll have to do the appraisal myself."Henry said with a strong resolve, "Don't worry, Mr. Miller, this time I will not let the same problem happen again.""And you, said James resting an arm on the sofa and pointing at Leo standing next to him,
"I will never divorce James," Ava said weakly as she struggled to push herself up and sit on the bed. There was a hint of toughness and stubbornness in her voice."Don't be a fool, Ava," said Amelia as she gave her daughter a look of utter frustration. "He's the reason why you have been living in hell for the past three years. It's only going to get worse now that he's incurred the wrath of the zinolesky family. "We must stop associating with him.""You should go," Ava said. Her face twisted in a grimace at her attempt to sit up making her wound open up again."Stay, James.""You..." Amelia said. Her protest was cut off as Joseph pulled her away.Ava was in an extremely fragile state now. Joseph didn't want to upset her and make her condition worse. That was why he agreed to Ava's request and pulled Amelia out of the room with him."Hmph!" Amelia leveled a furious glare at James before leaving the room.Everyone else left, leaving Ava alone in the room with James.Ava's eyes shut tigh

Although Jeffery heard that the Peter’s organization had collapsed, he was still very stubborn. He said, "James, I don't care if you are a useless piece of trash or Mr. Miller. When my backing comes, you'll definitely die." He just finished saying it. Then a group of men entered through the entrance of the hotel. When a male assistant who was in front of the group stopped walking, a video call was made to James’s cell phone. As james looked at the number, he raised his eyebrows and had a disdainful expression on his face."Davis..." James called and looked at the large television screen above him and nodded. "Yes, Mr. Miller." Davis understood immediately.Immediately, a familiar figure appeared on the television screen. The man was wearing an exquisitely designed and well-cut suit. His hair was neatly combed and he was wearing a pair of spectacles with refined gold frames. His eyes were like that of an eagle's; sharp and threatening. He exuded an irresistible and powerful aura from h
"Sure, I will go and carry it out," Tony said politely and hurriedly. "Withdraw all of Jeffery’s money from the Bank." Gracious lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. She blew out a long trail of smoke and continued, "And retrieve his collection of paintings as well.""Ms. Gracious, what are your plans?" Tony heard Gracious instructions and thought that she was planning to run away with all of Jeffery’s valuables and assets and not bothered about whether he was dead or alive."Tony, is this how you think of me?" Gracious walked over, raised her hand and gave him a hard slap. She continued, "Although I spend money and fool around with that gigolo that does not mean I am an ungrateful woman."Jeffery paid for my freedom from a nightelub and married me. I will never forget his kindness."Furthermore, even if I wanted to take everything, do you think that the other three women and their kids would allow that to happen? I'm still aware of my status." Tony covered his cheek and stood by the
"Sure, Mr. Miller," on the other side of the line, Leo answered respectfully. At this instant, Isaac who looked almost unrecognizable due to the beatings, was almost certain that James was not a fake. He was actually from the Miller family. However, he did not understand why James had to reduce himself to a useless piece of trash although he had such a powerful and wealthy background."James, you are really good at faking," Jeffery spoke arrogantly. When he heard his godfather's words, Isaac frowned and thought,"Godfather, godfather, do you know who you have offended?""We are finished, we are finished. This time, godfather is really finished. Even our family would... would also be destroyed."___At Sunshine___"Ms. Gracious... Ms. Gracious... Something has happened! Something disastrous has happened!"The housekeeper went upstairs and opened the bedroom door. At that moment, Gracious and her boy toy were messing around on the bed. Due to the sudden appearance of the housekeeper, Gra
Upon hearing that, Jeffery was completely stunned."James, what did you say?"Isaac had lost all his hopes. He was howling like a mad dog and said, "What makes you think that my godfather will listen to you?He is Jeffery Dick!""No matter... No matter where he is, be it in Sunshine or other places, no one dares to mess with him "Really, Mr. Dick? If what you say is true, why is your godfather kneeling here?"Davis gloated at him. "That is because...Godfather, what are you doing? Please get up! Why do you need to kneel before this piece of useless trash?You..." Isaac did not know how to reply Davis. He started wailing and shouting at Jeffery.Before Isaac finished his sentence, James pulled the trigger suddenly. The bullet brushed past his ear and hit a statue in the center of the lobby of the hotel. The bullet that came out of the gun hit the statue directly on its head.A loud bang was heard when the statue's head broke into half.Then the statue fell on the ground and broke into
Jeffery's body cringed as he felt the pain after James kicked him. However, very quickly, two members in the black camo suits came between two of them."James..." Jeffery tried to bear the pain in his body and covered his face. He wanted to save face and give himself a last trace of pride. He scoffed, "Don't think I am scared because of what you had planned and arranged!""Let me tell you! I... I am not afraid. I started making a living when I was 12 years old. I had to fight my way through, and I have seen so many bloody fights, confrontations and upheavals. I got through them all. Do you think I will be defeated today?""If you let me off today, we will talk it out. I will also forget that this matter had ever happened." Although Jeffery did not know who James really was, he already had a taste of what he was capable of. Now, he was trapped and unable to do anything. He had to do some sweet talk and get out of this humiliation.If not, he would not be able to survive in Sunshine or
"An armed car?"Jeffery's eyes were wide open."Mr. Dick, be careful!" As a piece of broken glass was about to pierce into Jeffery's neck, one of his men jumped in front of him to protect him.Then the armored car charged in. It was well equipped, and the members of the team dressed in black cami suits had live ammunition.Jeffery was in a state of shock. His men could not move at all when they saw the members of the team in black camo suits.Jeffery had been in many confrontations and fights all his life. However, he had never seen such a powerful and imposing battle array.Before he could come back to his senses, he felt whirlwind coming his way."Is that a... plane?" One of his men pointed to a big piece of open space. They saw a few planes that had landed there. "Not just planes, they are fighter planes... No, no, no, they should be combat aircraft." One of the men corrected him.After hearing "combat aircraft," the lobby was filled with sounds of things hitting the ground.Jeffer
"What are you talking about?" Jeffery gave this man one tight slap. "Of course, we have to save Isaac, but we need to deal with James and Davis.""Yes, Mr. Dick," All his men lowered their heads and roared in unison. As the sky got darker,Jeffery’s men finally found out where James was. "James was at his former residence. It is one of the Millers properties. The latest news is that Davis and James are now in the Hotel in the southern district.""Miller’s organization?" Jeffery squinted his eyes and snorted, "Leo has really done a lot. Just because James had saved his son, he actually allowed them to hide in one of his houses."Jeffery had investigated earlier on that James was the Bailey’s family's useless son-in-law. Then he had the backing and support of Leo to become the man with power and status today.After knowing all these, he despised James even more."What are we waiting for?Let's go." Jeffery drank the red wine from the glass and said, "Today I want James to beg like a dog
