The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

The registration threshold for Vintage Deluxe was ten billion dollars, which converted roughly to about 1.6 billion

US dollars.

It might sound like a lot, but in reality, just from the data that could be counted, there were nearly three

thousand wealthy people in the world who had assets exceeding this amount.

In addition, there was no telling how many invisible tycoons there were, ones who had never announced their

assets to the public.

Therefore, Charlie was not surprised that five hundred people had registered in two hours.

However, it was rare for Elaine and Jacob, who were at home, to start to get angry when they saw the news of

this auction.

When Elaine saw the news feed on her cell phone, she basically did not think before she blurted out and cursed,

"I'm afraid that Vintage Deluxe is really stupid! What kind of sh*tty auction is being held that a threshold of ten

billion dollars is required for the registration?! Isn't this simply bullsh*t? Who would dare to be so arrogant in an

auction?!"

In truth, Jacob had always had a psychological shadow for Vintage Deluxe in his heart.

When he had accidentally broken the vase in Vintage

Deluxe back then, he had almost had a heart attack.

He had finally thrown the blto Charlie and had wanted to run, but as a result, he had been caught and

slapped several times. It had truly been an embarrassing moment for him.

So, after he found out about the news, he immediately had an annoyed look on his face as he said. "What f*

eking Vintage Deluxe?! | think they simply want to hype things up. | have been in the antique industry in Aurous

Hill for so many years now, so how could | not know of Vintage Deluxe's level? Not to mention comparing them

to top auction houses like Christie's or Sotheby's, but even Poly in Oskia is hundreds of times better than it!"

As Jacob spoke, he continued in disdain, "Even Sotheby's and Christie's have never dared to make a big deal

about capital verification in their auctions. In most cases, they would simply require a deposit of one million

dollars for participation in the auction. The mere Vintage Deluxe actually dares to set a threshold of ten billion

dollars? It's simply outrageous! Simply f* eking outrageous!"

Elaine nodded, squinted her eyes, and asked, "Hey, do you think that it's because there is something special

about this Rejuvenating Pill?"

Jacob pursed his lips and said, "What can be so special about it? Is it possible that a person could ascend to

immortality after eating it? | think that it would be more likely for them to ascend to heaven!

Even the Porcupine Bezoar only costs a few hundred thousand dollars each, right? | think that they simply want

to hype things up! Vintage Deluxe has not been able to gain any reputation for itself even after years of hard

work, so | guess that they are simply trying to use sdirty tricks to get sattention this time."

Elaine agreed and said, "You're right. | guess that it should be just like that former intecelebrity who claimed

to have an unmatched IQ for three hundred years. Hasn't she gone abroad to beca manicure artist doing

manicures for others now?" Jacob laughed and said, "I thought that Jasmine

Moore was really capable, but | did not expect that she would cup with such a low-level trick. This is rather

shocking."

As Jacob spoke, he asked Charlie, "By the way, Charlie, aren't you quite familiar with Jasmine Moore? She sent

you an invitation letter before when she partnered with Finn Baxendale to hold an auction. Didn't she discuss this

matter with you?" Charlie smiled and said, "I do not have any business dealings with Miss Moore. So, there is no

need for her to consultand ask for advice."

Jacob had a serious expression on

his face as he said," Aren't you the great Master Wade to the wealthy people in Aurous Hill? Wouldn't they ask

you to do sfortune-telling or Feng Shui reading before they make any decisions, then? | remember that

someone also asked you to go and take a look at a house before buying the house before this, right?

As Jacob spoke of this, he suddenly exclaimed and blurted out, "Crap! Charlie... Could it be that you've lost your

reputation?!"

When Elaine heard this, she was also nervous, and she hurriedly asked, "My good son-in-law, have you really lost

your reputation? Will there still be people who would spend millions of dollars to ask you to look at Feng Shui,

then?"

When Charlie saw their nervous

appearances, he shook his head helplessly and smiled as he said,

3T

"My main business is to look at Feng Shui now. You should know that, looking at Feng Shui is basically looking at

real physical objects such as looking at ancestral tombs, houses, and office spaces. Even if Jasmine Moore really

trusts me, it would be impossible for her to look forto discuss the specifics of her business."

Jacob smacked his lips, nodded, and said, "That's also true..."

As he spoke, he hurriedly asked, "By the way, Charlie, can you ask Jasmine Moore whether this auction is really

just a gimmick to hype things up or is there really going to be an auction? Can you ask her for an invitation letter

or something? | really want to go and take a look to see which fool would actually cto participate in the

auction."

Charlie casually said, "I guess that it's probably just a gimmick to hype things up. Dad, you should not pay any

attention to it. By the way, how are things going with your Calligraphy and Painting Association lately?"

"It's going really great!" Jacob said enthusiastically, "Our Calligraphy and Painting Association has becmare

and more influential in the city We will also be joining hands with the city to carry out a series of cultural

promotional activities. The city intends to hold a cultural exchange activity, with Daejeon in South Korea soon, so

if this matter is decided, | will also be

traveling at that time."

When Elaine heard this, she was instantly overjoyed, and she blurted out, "Jacob Wilson, are you going to Korea

for an exchange?!"

Jacob thought that Elaine was going to mock and ridicule him for his lack of qualifications and incompetence.

Hence, he subconsciously retorted," Why? Can't | do that? I, Jacob Wilson, am at least the vice-chairman of the

association. I'm the second-in-command!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Elaine smiled sweetly and said, "You're really successful and promising now. When the time

comes, can you takewith you if you go to Korea? | haven't gone abroad before in my whole life!"
