"Don't you think so?" Oliver Cooper was standing with his arms folded, arrogance was written all over his face. Although everyone knows that you are the useless son-in-law of the Bailey family, you should still pay more attention to the way you dress."James Miller was fully aware that Oliver was taking the opportunity to get back at him for the humiliation he suffered at the hands of Janie during the previous encounter."Anything else?" James could not be bothered by anything else and turned to leave.When Oliver saw how unconcerned James was, he became even more infuriated."James Miller, you are just a worthless scum. How dare you act all stuck up in front of me?" Oliver's face turned still stormy black. He recalled the day he was forced to apologize to James and became even more furious."I am not acting all stuck up, replied James. He carried on without a care in the world and busily helped the waiters nearby arrange the tables. "The one who is acting all high and mighty is you,
"Take a look for yourself." James Miller tightly tossed the jewelry case. The case landed in front of Leo Meyer.Unfortunately, old man Leo was already advanced in years. His reflexes were not as nimble as they used to be. The case slipped from his hands as he lost his balance.Before the case could hit the ground, James lunged to catch it.In the end...The beautiful personal assistant suddenly flashed her long slender leg and the case landed squarely on her foot.With a light flicker of her foot, the red ruby case flew upward in a flash and landed safe and sound in her hands."Chairman, here is your item. The personal assistant bowed slightly and respectfully held out the jewelry case in front of Leo. Her well-endowed fulcrum bossom was almost visible from that advantageous angle. Her slender waist and graceful figure were highlighted."Hey, you are a martial arts practitioner as well!" James complimented her, his eyes bright with admiration for her."Mr. Miller, you flatter me," Le
Soon enough everybody's eyes landed on Oliver."Oliver, what's going on?" Daniella looked up and pretended that she knew nothing."Mrs. Bailey, Oliver stood up from his seat before saying in a serious tone."Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Meyer is here to support us today. As the main person in charge of tonight's charity dinner, I know better than anyone how important tonight's event is."Oliver, what exactly is going on?" Panicked Daniella's husband approached him hurriedly.I want to let you know that the ruby jewelry on the auction block is a knockoff, "Oliver spoke as he dramatically pointed at the jewelry on the stage.As soon as he was done speaking, the crowd broke into chaos.What? Is it a knockoff?""This is a high-end charity auction. How could someone bring a knockoff here?"All the jewelry here is with a fortune. This is a very big deal."Oliver, you have to be responsible for what you say, Daniella instantly uttered while her expression turned dark.To outsiders, they thought
"That's right. This one is the one I bought. Although the packaging looks rather plain, it is authentic. "How are you so sure?" Daniella smiled coldly as she asked. Let me take a look, a voice rang out within the crowd all of a sudden. Everybody's eyes followed the direction of the sound. They could not help but widened their eyes when they saw the person who spoke. It was Leo, the billionaire. Things seemed to be getting more and more interesting with Leo on the move now. Due to the surprise, Amelia and Oliver widened their eyes at the same time as well... Then, they thought that James would be even more humiliated now that Leo was involved. Accompanied by his assistant, Leo leisurely walked into the middle of the crowd with his cane. However, he did not even bother to cast a glance at the jewelry on the table. Instead, he walked straight to James. The next thing he said stunned the people around them. "Kid, why do you look so familiar? Have we met somewhere before?" Leo gr
Following Jenny's gaze, Mr. Jefferson lifted his head and looked at the people standing at the side.Mr. Jefferson felt a spin running down his spine when he recalled the diamond ring incident.He was not expecting such a big person to be there. It seemed like he had to be extremely careful to prevent making any mistakes.The next thing Leo said eased his worry."Mr. Jefferson, let me explain to you. Leo pointed to the jewelry in front of him and said, "The one on the left belongs to Mr. Cooper."Mr. Jefferson looked at Oliver, who was dressed in a luxurious brand, up and down. It seemed like he was a wealthy guy."This one on the right..." Leo then pointed to James, belongs to this young man here."He..." Mr. Jefferson felt his eyes trembling as he stared at James, who was wearing ordinary clothes.He could not believe James was the one who bought the jewelry.Why did they need him to appraise the jewelry then?James was a top jeweler and Antique appraiser himself. He would never pur
Johnny took a look at the jewelry on the left and quickly turned to the other one on the right.Beads of cold sweat trickled down his face."What darn luck this is, having caught the attention of Leo Meyer of all people, he thought worriedly.The answer was clear in Johnny's eyes, he knew that the piece he created was an imitation of the jewelry from Leo's jeweler.Rumour has it that they were only two pieces in the world. One was procured by an English princess, whereas the other was for Leo Meyer for his private collection.The one that Oliver wanted was not in stock. "Haven't I told him to lay low and avoid publicizing this?" He thought."Why did he bring it to a jewelry exhibition?" Wouldn't this be too embarrassing?""Mr... Mr. Meyer, I've taken a good look, said johnny as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He pointed to the piece on the left and declared, "This... This is the one I sold to Oliver Cooper."What?" Oliver shouted taken aback once again.Mr... Mr. Oliver, I'm sor
"Mr. Meyer, said Jenny as she too walked towards James with a smile. I already recognized Mr. Miller when I arrived here. "Mr.. Miller, I was impressed with how discerning you were back at the Full Moon Pavilion in Lotus Antique street, said Jenny. Especially with how assessed the amphora at the end. You could tell that it was a fake just with one glance. It was extraordinary. Jenny stretched out her hand for a handshake. "I certainly look forward to your guidance should I have a chance and honor one day, Mr. Miller." "You flatter me, Ms. Jefferson, said James politely as he shook her hand in return. It was crystal clear to him that this was merely a show put on by Jenny for the public eyes, specifically, for Leo's eyes and to get into his good book. "I'm Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Miller, introducing himself as he handed James his name card, displaying an elevated level of respect for the man in comparison to what his daughter did earlier. "What are you still standing there for, James?"
"What happened?" James asked hurriedly.Mrs. Miller and Amelia are arguing, said the assistant hesitantly.Thirty minutes earlier...After James was brought to the VIP room by Leo, Ava was similarly led to a resting room, with special arrangements made by the assistant to bring her some food.After Ava had a small bite she wanted to take a nap, but she heard people arguing in the corridor outside.Please listen to my explanation, Aunt. It is not what think it is..." Ava peeped outside and saw her mother and Oliver standing at the door of another VIP room."What's there to explain?" Yelled Amelia disappointedly, her tone starkly different from earlier. "Oliver, have always thought you were a reliable person. But today, I finally saw the truth.""You gifted me second-hand jewelry for my birthday yelled Amelia. Is that your way of saying you despise Ava? Or do you despise me?"Not just second-hand jewelry it also turned out to be fake! And to think I continue following you... Before Amel

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
