Seeing Mr. Bay’s excitement, Jacob grew curious. However, he was still a little listless as he asked, “What happened, Mr. Bay? What is it that’s making you so happy?”Mr. Bay said with great excitement, “The secretary of the association called me and said that an overseas Oskian wants to donate eight pairs of works from the calligrapher, Finnegan Jonas, to the Calligraphy and Painting Association, under instructions from her grandfather!”“Finnegan Jonas?” Jacob repeated, wearing a bewildered expression. “Is that a very famous person?”When Mr. Bay heard this, he was dumbfounded. He really didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. “Jacob… I already told you, didn’t I? You’re the vice chairman of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. It doesn’t matter if you’re not talented in either calligraphy or painting, but you have to at least have some knowledge. Whenever you’re free, you should read more and study the works of ancient and modern calligraphy and paintings. You don’t even

Soon, Mr. Bay and Jacob arrived at the Calligraphy and Painting Association building.Kathleen Fox had been waiting for them for a long time. Once Mr. Bay returned, the secretary led him and Jacob to the meeting room, and then introduced them to Kathleen.“Ms. Jane, this is the president and vice-president of the calligraphy and painting association, Mr. Bay and Mr. Wilson.”Then, the secretary introduced Kathleen to them, “Mr. Bay and Mr. Wilson, I called earlier about a French Oskian lady. This is Ms. Jane, Kylie Jane.”Kathleen did not use her real identity to be on the safe side. For her, she had plenty of completely legal and real identities in several countries. Her identity as Kylie Jane, a French Oskian lady, was just one of many.Kathleen glanced at Jacob, and relief washed over her. She could finally get in touch with Jacob! Now, she would have the chance to find out about Jacob’s son-in-law, Charlie.She stood up politely and said with a smile, “Dear sirs, I’ve final

Mr. Bay thought about the dinner and immediately said, “Ms. Jane, you’re an important patron to our association. Let us treat you to dinner tonight instead!”Kathleen was well aware of the rules of socializing. One should be polite in accepting another’s favor whenever required, but reject firmly if deemed inappropriate.Using a dinner invitation as an example, if the other party was just extending the invite as a courtesy, one should politely thank their kindness and reject firmly. Then, both parties would be able to keep the exchange pleasant and end it happily.If the other party was sincere in the invitation, one would not need to be overly polite or worry about paying for the treat. To gladly accept the other party’s invitation would be the greatest respect to the other party.With that in mind, Kathleen replied with a sweet smile, “Mr. Bay, if you put it that way, I’ll gladly accept your offer. I’m looking forward to it!”Mr. Bay patted himself on the chest and said, “Leave

Jacob was completely unaware of the consequences of his words. He did not realize that he had unintentionally sold out his daughter and son-in-law to Kathleen. On the contrary, he felt that he had helped them immensely by referring a new client to his daughter and son-in-law.It wasn’t Jacob’s fault for being so unsuspecting. How could he tell that Kylie Jane was not who she claimed to be? Kylie’s real identity was Kathleen Fox, a daughter from a prestigious family with hundreds of billions US dollars in net worth. Little did he know, Kathleen rushed to Aurous Hill with the intent to find Charlie just before the Rejuvenating Pill auction. By the end of the meal, Kathleen was in a good mood.She did not mention Feng Shui and her home renovation for the rest of the meal. All she talked about was closely related to the art exhibition. She made it seem like Feng Shui and her home renovation were simply random topics that happened to come up only briefly earlier.While the group ba

Charlie took the name card and glanced at it casually. He noticed there was only a name and a string of numbers on the card.Kylie’s name was printed on it with a domestic phone number starting with 159. There was still a faint smell of ink from the name card. It seemed as if it was printed not long ago.Charlie didn’t think much about it. He took out his phone, snapped a photo of the name card, and then handed it back to Jacob.He planned to contact Kylie tomorrow, have a quick look at her villa’s Feng Shui, and get it over with.On the next day, Jacob reminded Charlie again during breakfast. “Hey, Charlie. Remember to give Ms. Jane a call.”Charlie nodded. “I’ll send Claire to the office first and contact Ms. Jane later.”Jacob quickly said, “You can skip that. I’ll drive Claire to the office. Anyway, I need to go to the association earlier today, so Claire can leave her car with you. If Ms. Jane is in a hurry, you can drive and meet her immediately.”Claire agreed with anod.
