With that, while gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, he picked up the teacup and finished it in a single gulp.

Drinking the cup of tea was equivalent to agreeing tacitly to Charlie’s new arrangement.

One year’s worth of sentence was suddenly doubled and became two years.

Dylan could only cry without tears. At that instant, he was entirely devoid of energy like an empty shell without a soul.

At this moment, Loreen was also a little surprised.

The others did not know about the conflict between Dylan and Charlie but she knew everything about it.

It was Charlie who made Dylan ride a bicycle from Eastcliff all the way to Aurous Hill, and made him suffer hardships for his reformation in Aurous Hill. When Charlie started playing charades with numbers all of a sudden now, she immediately had a bad feeling about it.

So, she asked Dylan in a soft voice, “Dylan. What in the world just happened?”

Dylan handed his handphone over to Loreen with great disappointment. A WhatsApp message,

    Loreen really wanted to look into the actual relationship between Charlie and Doris.However, it was impossible to do so due to time constraints.She needed to rush off to Eastcliff and spend time with her family during the New Year. Therefore, after staying for about ten minutes, Loreen turned to both Claire and Charlie and said, “Claire, Charlie, I have to go now and head over to the airport for my flight. All the flights to Eastcliff are completely booked today. If I miss this flight, I would be spending the New Year here in Aurous Hill.”Claire replied, “Loreen, do you want us to send you off at the airport?”Loreen hurriedly said, “You don’t have to trouble yourselves. All of you should just stay here.”As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to Doris and greeted, “Miss Young, I shall take my leave now.”With a gentle nod, Doris replied, “Have a safe flight! Also, Happy New Year in advance!”“Thank you!” Loreen nodded. After bidding farewell to Claire’s parents, only t

    At this moment, Charlie and his family were in the living room, eating New Year’s Eve dinner while watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV. The whole family was happy and harmonious, enjoying the atmosphere.Jacob and Elaine, the old couple who always found each other despicable, had made an exception and held back their bickering during the dinner.Jacob and Charlie drank some white wine together, in which Jacob was in a delightful mood.Claire wanted to drink some red wine with Elaine, but Elaine snatched the red wine from her hand and poured it for herself while saying very seriously, “Claire, you can’t drink alcohol if you are trying to get pregnant. It’s not good for the baby!”With that, she turned to Charlie and said with a smile, “My dear son-in-law, don’t drink too much. Drinking too much wine will affect seeds’ qualities in men! Eventually, it will affect the quality of pregnancy and the development of the fetus!” Claire was immediately flustered. Blushed in embarrassme

    As Charlie looked at the photo of the snowy courtyard, he recalled that snowy night in Kyoto many days ago.Under that heavy snowfall, he saved Nanako and unintentionally saved both Jaime and Sophie Schulz.With this thought, he quietly sighed and replied Nanako, “Thank you, and a happy New Year to you too!”He did not respond to the matter of snowing Kyoto that Nanako had brought up. He knew that he should not have too many emotional interactions with Nanako.At first, he felt that she shouldn’t be burdened by the injuries inflicted by Aurora all her life, so he wanted to heal her.Now that she had been cured and he saved her life, so technically speaking, they were even-steven. He would only complicate things if he kept having unnecessary interactions with her.Charlie also knew that his hands were tied and was unable to return their feelings when it came to the women who admired him, including Nanako.Therefore, keeping these women at a distance could be considered the mo

    However, Nanako did not deny it immediately nor ran away on the spot. Instead, she put her hands in front of her body and bowed deeply. “I understand, Eminent Father!”Yahiko smiled graciously and said, “I’m too old to stand the freezing wind. I’ll go back to rest first. Don’t stay up too late.”Nanako hurriedly said, “Let me send you into the room, Eminent Father!”Yahiko waved his hand. “Never mind. Since you like pondering, I’ll let you ponder for a while longer.”With that, he made a half turn while controlling his electric wheelchair and slowly went back to his room.Nanako watched her father disappear at the end of the corridor. As she still felt the flushing burn on her face, she gently placed her hands on the thick snow and then placed them on her face.The cold hands brought down the temperature of her cheeks and also made her heart gradually return to tranquility.A moment later, she once again stretched out her hand and used her fingers to write some beautiful words o

    Getting worked up, Rosalie hugged Yashita’s waist tightly and asked, “Mom, why are you here? How did you get in here?”Seeing that the soldiers had retreated, Yashita said, “Rosalie, your father asked me to come.”“Father?” Rosalie hurriedly asked, “How is he now? Has he returned home? He didn’t encounter any danger, did he?”Yashita shook her head and said softly, “Don’t worry, he’s fine. He has returned to Eastcliff safely.”Only then did Rosalie heave a sigh of relief and murmured, “Thank goodness…”Yashita said, “Rosalie, your father wanted to come to Japan personally to get you out, but because he is now the main subject of strict monitoring by the Japanese homeland security department, so it’s not convenient for him to come to Japan again, for the time being, that’s why he let me come to see you.”Puzzled, Rosalie asked, “Mom, how did you get in here? The Self-Defense Forces are keeping close watch over me in this maximum-security prison. How did they let you in?”Yashita

    Yashita said, “Your father said that you can name yourself whatever you want, and he will help you with the relevant identification registration.”A trace of joy flashed across Rosalie’s face. However before she could speak, Yashita added, “Rosalie, your father said that you can still use Schulz as your last name, and you can call yourself whatever you want, but you cannot make the name sound like his descendant.”Rosalie’s delightful grin froze and was replaced by a bitter frown. She looked at Yashita and asked, “Mom, he still doesn’t want people to know who I really am, does he?”Yashita said, looking rather ashamed, “Rosalie, you are after all your father’s illegitimate daughter, and not many people know about this. Only your father and your grandfather know about you in the entire Schulz family. Your father and his wife love each other very much. If she knows about you, she will certainly break up with him…”Rosalie choked. “Mom, does it mean that I can’t tell people that Sheld

    As Zachary agreed to do a favor for Vintage Deluxe's Mick Crane in passing, he and Jacob agreed to meet up at 7pm at the car park by Antique Street.He first took Jacob back to the Calligraphy and Painting Association and called Billy, one of his boys whom he thought was smarter than the rest, giving him the gist of the plan and telling him to familiarize himself with the script.Then, he took the sculpture back to Heaven Springs and met up with Billy in office, telling Billy what to do in finer detail and making sure he committed everything to memory.Zachary's strength as a judge of character certainly proved itself—Billy had never done anything like this before, but he took to the plan like fish to water. He committed the script to memory soon enough, and he was flawless.Once he made sure that Billy was fine, Zachary called Mick.As soon as Mick answered, he immediately asked, "Hello, Mr. Evans. How is that thing we talked about going?"Zachary chuckled. All the arrangements

    Zachary continued, "Why do you think casinos are always making a profit? It's exactly because no matter how unassuming a guest is the first time, they would be allowed to win a couple of hands, making a little profit.""And suddenly, they would think that they are the chosen one, destined to win against all odds and always come out triumphant! Once such radical, blind confidence hits them, every last bit of his money would be lost to the casino!""At that point, you can get anything from them—their house, their wife, their children… hell, they'd be willing to die if you'd just let them gamble again!"Turning toward Jacob with a grin, Zachary then asked, "So, with all the points I made and that sculpture you're holding… Do you still think Raymond wouldn't fall for it?"Jacob laughed out loud. "Oh, talk about a plan within a plan! No one would ever see it coming! Raymond Cole is so screwed!"Zachary smiled and nodded. "That's why there's no reason to rush—I'll arrange a man to get r

    As soon as they drove out of the village, Jacob asked Zachary eagerly, "So, when do you think we should make our move? I can't wait!"Zachary didn't hesitate, "Let's do it today. It's better than waiting! I'll get someone reliable to bring this to Treasure Measure and get him interested. I'm sure that since he has just returned to Antique Street, he'll need a hot deal to generate hype and make himself known. That's why I'm sure he'll take this sculpture."Jacob nodded repeatedly as he chuckled. "I think so too. Today is definitely best since I'll be going to Dubai soon and probably leaving once I'm done with this. Once you get this settled by the end of today, I'll get tickets for the flight tomorrow!"Zachary grinned. "Don't worry, chief. We will definitely get it settled today…"He trailed off for a moment before continuing, "Still, you should be a little patient. We should do this in the evening—at the second just before Raymond Cole closes shop.""But why?" Jacob asked in curi

    Jacob was naturally gleeful that he could get the late medieval bronze sculpture along with its base. Right after he wired the agreed upon ninety-eight grand to Mr. Cardensky, he was already imagining how Raymond would buy it from him for several hundred grand.On the other hand, once Mr. Cardensky received the transfer, he saw the name on the account: Jacob Wilson.He was left perplexed—wasn't that man's last name Montague? Who was this Jacob Wilson?Still, he didn't worry about it too much since most antique hustlers preferred to work with anonymity and therefore, using a different name was perfectly normal.He then carefully wrapped up the bronze sculpture before passing it Jacob, asking politely, "Would you happen to have any other requests, Mr. Montague? I have plenty of other items here if you'd permit me to give an introduction."Jacob shook his head, "Just this sculpture will do. I'm not fully confident in your work either since this is our first deal, so I'm just trying i

    Jacob asked, "Then, what would this sculpture be worth if it was genuine?"Mr. Cardensky thought about it. "Well, there are standards when it comes to Renaissance relics, but with something this exquisite, it'd definitely be auctionable for one or two million—and that's the conservative estimate.""How much would you sell it to me for?" Jacob then asked."Thirty percent of the market price," Mr. Cardensky quickly replied. "As I've said, the conservative estimate for this one is around one to two million, so we will set the price with the median estimate value at 1.5 million. And thirty percent means 450 grand."Jacob shook his head right away. "No, no, no… that's too expensive. What if I end up unable to sell it, on top of that?"In his mind, while he could barely accept that pricing, he still needed Raymond to be able to afford it if he wanted to swindle Raymond for twice the money.Mr. Cardensky quickly chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Montague—now you're being too serious. In this business,

    "Okay!"Mr. Cardensky smiled and pointed at a nearby farmyard. "There's our workshop—the good stuff is all in there. Allow me to take you there!"The farmyard seemed uninteresting at first glance, but Mr. Cardensky soon led them to the stables and brushed off the straws covering the floor, revealing a plank laid flat on the ground.Mr. Cardensky then lifted it, revealing a passage below—they had dug a cellar into the ground beneath, with the stables as an entry point.As Jacob followed Mr. Cardensky down the cellar, he exclaimed in awe, "Your operation is definitely big, digging such a huge cellar!"Mr. Cardensky smiled humbly. "Anyone working in the business would have sustained their losses before. In the end, we're all folk of humble origins, starting out with raiding tombs or excavating artifacts. Just digging a cellar is really nothing."As they conversed, they cleared the stairs and arrived at the main hall.It was certainly a hall as it was around a hundred square meters,

    Zachary nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Montague? Very well!""Yes!" Jacob grinned smugly. "Longer last names are simply better—it just sounds so authoritative."With that agreed upon, both men alighted, where the master was waiting nearby.Seeing them get off, he hurried over to them, smiling, "Please, follow me."Zachary looked around and huffed, "Honestly, Mr. Cardensky, isn't this way too far from the highway? The road is narrow and terrible, and I have to park my car all the way out here. Just coming here is taxing."Mr. Cardensky smiled in turn. "My friend, that's exactly why we picked this place. Do you remember seeing a couple of cars parked by the road, occupying half of it?""We arranged for them to be there. Anyone coming by car would have to slow down that way, buying time for us to see who they truly are. If it's cops, our watchers would quietly text us while we clean the house and bail."Zachary exclaimed in realization, "You boys really run a tight ship!""For sure," Mr.

    After working in Antique Street for years, Zachary's connections and influence were naturally special. And yet, though he was acquainted with some of the more impressive individuals, he was not that close with them either.For example, the forgery masters who worked specifically to deceive experts only accepted jobs from major clients, usually antique traders high in social status and wealth.In contrast, they wouldn't ever be interested in frivolous people like Zachary. Even if he could reach them, they might not look at him twice.If one would describe them as the cartel boss, then Zachary would be a low-level enforcer, managing night joints or goofing off.But now, Zachary had turned over a new leaf—he worked under Don Albert, so one of those masters was pleasantly surprised when he called one of them, inviting him to his own workshop for a visit and further discussion.As such, Zachary picked up Jacob and went over to the master's hideout where the latter worked on his count

    Zachary was naturally shrewd enough to read Jacob's intention.In reality, he wasn't offering to pay just because he wanted the profit. He merely wanted to get in Jacob's good graces. After all, wouldn't Jacob be even more grateful that he wasn't just helping his revenge but also helping him make money?As such, he didn't hesitate to tell Jacob, "Well, chief—since you'll be paying, I will make sure that you will get every cent of profit that you deserve."Jacob was grinning ear-to-ear, but he said, "Oh, you don't have to! If we really are making a profit, there's no way I would let your good work go unrewarded!"Spreading his arms, he continued generously, "How about this? I will pay the full cost while you get twenty percent of the net profit!"Zachary laughed. "Now, that can wait, chief. We need to pay as soon as we decide on the item we want, and there's no time for buyer's regret. But if Raymond doesn't take the bait, all that money will go down the drain, and whether we can s
