Chapter 6518
At that point, Zachary was completely seized by panic.He didn't think that trying to sell Mick a favor would only result in Mick turning against him now.However, he had been crawling amongst the dregs of society for years and knew human nature all too well.There was every reason for Mick to despise him now—it was just like a driver offering a car ride, but because of his poor driving skills, he had caused an accident that left his passenger paraplegic. If the poor man demanded damages in that state, there was no way a driver could just charge into the hospital and snap at him for being an ingrate.Moreover, Mick was a man with no talents, and it was a miracle that he had managed to land himself a respectable position that paid well.Most importantly, he was basically a feudal lord, and no one would prey on anything he did. As such, if Mick really lost this job that he had gotten by chance in the first place, he would hate Zachary to the bone.And even if Zachary could be con

Zachary was already shaking with rage and promptly bellowed, "How fucking impressive, Cardensky! But let me give it to you straight: that bronze sculpture was sold for 300 thousand to Raymond Cole, so it's not just you—Mr. Montague wants it too!""If you want it back, ask Raymond Cole yourself—but don't blame me for not warning you, Vintage Deluxe's Mick Crane was already humiliated because of your so-called forgery and might be fired as we speak. Not only that, but he thinks it's all my fault and wants me out so that I will go down with him."But what a coincidence it is, because I think this is all your fault! So, if he rats me out, I'm ratting you out as well! We will all just die together!"Also, you know that I know where you work. If the cops get involved, I'm leading them right to you. So, don't blame me for being unreasonable—it's all your fault for being blind. If you actually had any skill, you'd have kept that bronze sculpture for yourself and gotten rich with it. But the

Charlie was at the Champs Elys hot spring villa, and while surprised for a moment as to why Zachary was calling him, he soon had an inkling why.Answering his call, he chuckled, "To what do I owe the pleasure, Zachary?"Zachary's tone was at once fearful and remorseful. "Master Wade, I've called to apologize to you…""Apologize for what?" Charlie asked despite knowing the answer.Zachary sighed, his voice choking with tears, "Master Wade, I must have lost my mind… When I found out that Raymond Cole had returned, I remembered that he had hurt your father-in-law and that your father-in-law must still be holding a grudge. So, I reached out and tried to hatch a plot for revenge, but it all went south…."With that, Zachary told Charlie everything without missing a single detail.And Charlie listened, after which he asked, "So, Zachary—you never thought to tell me before, during, and after you succeeded in your plot, yet now you're telling me when everything has spiraled beyond your co
Chapter 6521
At this point, Zachary wasn't afraid of being exposed—he was afraid of Charlie and Don Albert kicking him to the curb.As such, when Charlie told him to expose his own wrongdoing and apologize personally to Raymond, he felt salvation.Sobbing, he said, "Thank you for forgiving me, Master Wade! From now on, I will keep myself grounded—no more cheeky tricks, I swear on my life!"Still, Charlie asked, "I told you to apologize—when did I say you're forgiven?""What…?" Zachary blurted. "B-But the way you put it, it was as if you were going to spare me…"Charlie sighed. "You are smart, Zachary—like I said, you should use that smartness in the right way. Understand?""Yes, yes, I understand!" Zachary promptly replied."Good," Charlie said quietly. "I can understand that such plots are normal for when you worked in Antique Street, what with defrauding and deception being the rules for survival. But you're no longer working there now, so your mistake is breaking the rules."While Raymon

Zachary nodded, exclaiming respectfully, "Yes, Master Wade! I understand now!"Charlie nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Then, I will see how you do."Remembering Jacob again, Zachary then said awkwardly, "There's something else, Master Wade. Mr. Wilson is on a flight heading to Dubai, and he warned me that he expects me to retrieve the bronze sculpture when he lands. He said he'd be asking for your help if I failed…""Doesn't matter," Charlie told him. "I'll get him to back off when the time comes. Also, toughen up when he comes to you again—don't yield to him for my sake, or in time, he'll forget his place and stray further."Pausing, Charlie then continued, "So, I'm telling you, Zachary—you're lucky no one lost anything this time. Or if Raymond really lost a few hundred thousand and pressed the issue, you'd both be going to jail!"Zachary was really traumatized then, and he promptly made himself clear, "Don't worry, Master Wade! I'll ignore Mr. Wilson if he comes to me again! No m

Considering how Elaine had had the guts to wire away twenty billion dollars, heaven knows how much worse she would be now if Charlie hadn't taught her a lesson to remember.-Just as Zachary was rushing to Antique Street, Mick finally appeared before the Moore Group human resources manager.The Moore Group human resource manager drew out a document envelope and slid it to him, cutting to the chase right away. "This is your termination notice as you have inflicted significant monetary losses and tarnished the reputation of the company. With those as our legal basis, we are unconditionally annulling your employment contract."Delegate any tasks you have and pack up all personal effects, and you can leave by the end of the day. Your remaining salary will be counted until today and wired to your account on the tenth of the next month as is customary for employees of the company."Mick was left thunderstruck, and he blurted, "That's against labor laws! I didn't cause any loss—all I did
Chapter 6524
With those words, Mick whipped out his phone, holding it in front of the Moore Group human resource manager and showing his chat records with Zachary as well as the script he had sent."I know words don't mean much, but here's the chat records between myself and Zachary Evans! See for yourself!"At this point, Mick had to do whatever he could.After all, Don Albert was a friend of Jasmine Moore, and the chat records would prove that he hadn't made a blunder and was merely following a staged act that Zachary had planned.From a certain point of view, he was implicating Zachary and Don Albertas as well, but he really had no choice but to bet everything on it.The human resource manager was actually frowning after seeing the chat records too, surprised that something like this had happened, with Don Albert's henchman being involved too.Eyeing Mick, he said, "Hold on. I'll make a call."Seeing that the human resource manager was taking him seriously, Mick felt hope once more as the
Chapter 6525
Mick was utterly hopeful as he watched the Moore Group human resource manager return, believing that he had turned things around.However, as soon as the human resource manager sat down, he immediately said, "Apologies, Mr. Crane. It seems that it's not just the significant losses you've incurred for the company—you are now also found guilty of personal misconduct, specifically unethical business stratagems. As per the company's wishes, your labor contract is terminated immediately."Mick certainly didn't think that telling the truth had failed to resolve the significant losses part, and he was now slapped with personal misconduct on top of that.Bracing himself, he asked the human resource manager, "But what did Ms. Moore say? She's close friends with Don Albert, and everyone involved in this are friends, anyway…"The human resource manager shook his head and said coolly, "Save your breath, Mr. Crane. The issue has been decided without grounds for further discussion. The notice of
