Chapter 6520
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
Chapter 6526
At the moment, Treasure Measure was congested as crowds of people were there to congratulate Raymond on his new business or ask for appraisals of their items.Zachary stood at the door, hesitating for a moment before steeling himself and entering.Many in Aurous Hill's Antique Streett knew him and also knew that he wasn't the man he was before, so many greeted him the instant he entered, each person more respectful the next.Zachary was left sweating, only realizing then that he had really messed up and didn't deserve the privilege that Master Wade and Don Albert had given him.His eyes fixed on Raymond, and he went over, feeling very embarrassed.Seeing him, Raymond presumed that he was going to do it himself after his men had failed to recover the bronze sculpture, and he asked warily, "To what do I owe the pleasure, Zachary?"Zachary suddenly dropped to one knee, exclaiming in regret, "Mr. Cole, I'm sorry!"Raymond was frowning as he thought Zachary was up to more tricks, but
Chapter 6527
With that in mind, Raymond quickly understood what had happened—Charlie must have been informed of the entire story and was intent on teaching Zachary, Mick Crane, and Jacob a lesson.Hence, he smiled at Zachary, "You really didn't have to apologize about that. I should be thanking you gentlemen since business isn't exactly booming in Antique Street, and I couldn't ask for more, opening up with such a grand deal."Zachary felt like he had been slapped in the face, but he was also relieved that Raymond wasn't pressing the issue, so he said earnestly, "Don't worry, Mr. Cole—I won't ever meddle with your business or conspire against you again. However, I won't hesitate to answer if you ever call on me!"Also, you have nothing to worry about—we will return the full amount of the 300 thousand we got from you. Please forgive us and don't charge us with anything else…"Raymond pulled him to his feet, smiling as he said, "After a conflict comes friendship. Do drop by more often if you have
