"Yes, James...you can appraise, right? The VIPs here are afraid to appraise the collection. Express your high-level commentary!" Roy said to James with a sly look.

"The original Alfred Austin painting." James said calmly.

"We have so many experts observing carefully, so little effort, and they all dare not agree on a conclusion. You dare to make a conclusion right away when you look this far? Are you overreacting?" An old expert said with a dissatisfied expression at James.

"Hey, what kind of trashy guy are you? Who wouldn't know that this is an Alfred Austin painting?" Gerry said disdainfully, and asked with a dismissive expression at James, "You're saying it's original? Where did you see it? It's an Alfred Austin painting. What are the characteristics of the painting? Tell me!"

James smiled without saying a word, and took a sip of tea without explaining.

"You don't know? You don't understand, do you? I thought you had a lot of ability. It's like you just want to look great!" Gerry s

    “James, I know you’re still not ready to let go of Sheva. But I’ve already told everyone that your relationship is over. There’s no longer any connection between us as in-laws,” Maria said coldly. It was clear—Maria and Eden truly wanted James out of their home. “Oh, and James. Please don’t introduce your bad friends to Sheva anymore. Like your friend, Carlo. He embarrassed me,” Maria continued. “I introduced Carlo for a reason. Thanks to him, Sheva got her own investment platform, didn’t she?” James cut in. Maria and Eden were easily tempted by money. In the past, they used to call Carlo “Sir.” But now, they were belittling him. “What’s the use of that investment? Didn’t his company go bankrupt? Because of Carlo, Sheva’s company is almost destroyed!” Maria snapped emotionally. “This is all your fault, James! You’re the one who introduced someone untrustworthy!” she added. James just shook his head. He understood, they were nothing but money-hungry people. “That’s enou

    After that, Sheva calmly turned and walked out of the dining room, leaving Nathan standing frozen in place. Nathan hadn’t expected Sheva to reject his offer—especially now that her company was on the brink of collapse. He thought that, as a wealthy man from Bop City, his help would be welcomed instantly. He assumed Sheva would be dazzled by his wealth. But in reality, Sheva chose to stand by James—a man Nathan considered insignificant. "Young Master Nathan, should I order the men to capture that woman?" one of his bodyguards asked in a low voice. "Heh... No need," Nathan replied casually. "She’ll come begging to me herself once her company completely falls apart." He stood up and said, "Let’s go. Mr. Toppa just called me." Without another word, Nathan and his guards left the place. Some time later, they arrived at the meeting location where Toppa was waiting. In the room, drinks had already been prepared. Toppa greeted Nathan with a smile full of hidden agendas. "Young

    "Yes," Shogun nodded. "I heard from Carlo's secretary that he went to the City Project site today to manage some work. He also brought bodyguards, but someone shot him from a distance. Unfortunately, the shooter hasn’t been found yet. Still, I suspect this was also Tornado Corp’s doing." "Mr. James, Tornado Corp has gone too far. What’s your plan? I can’t wait to take action," Shogun said, his face filled with anger. Since following James, everything had always gone smoothly. This was the first time they faced such a serious threat. Naturally, emotions were running high. James was a ruler of the underground world—and now someone had the nerve to attack him openly? This had clearly crossed the line. "I’ll handle this myself," James said firmly. "For now, let’s check on Carlo’s condition." James walked toward the special treatment room, followed closely by Shogun and David. Inside the room, Carlo lay weakly on the hospital bed. His face was pale, his body wrapped in bandages

  • Chapter 190-Make Sure...

    The next morning, James headed to the Hilton Building early. Yesterday, he had still been discussing jewelry designs with Sheva, but there were a few details that needed fixing. He planned to help Sheva finish her work over the next two days. Honk! Honk! The taxi he was riding in came to a sudden stop in a narrow alley. Two off-road vehicles were parked right in the middle of the street with no owners in sight, completely blocking the entrance. “Sir, I can’t go through. This alley is really narrow. The Hilton Building is just across at the end of this lane. Would you mind walking the rest of the way?” the taxi driver said politely. “All right.” James nodded, paid the fare, and got out. It was only about a hundred meters away. As James walked, his phone suddenly rang. But his attention was caught by two figures in black clothing on the roof of a building to his left. His danger instincts immediately kicked in. Without thinking, James turned and ran at lightning speed. B

    After thinking it over, James walked out, took the elevator, and headed to Sheva's office. Sheva was still busy handling some paperwork. James knocked on the door and walked in. “James, what was that way of talking to your friend?” Sheva asked curiously. “He’s not my friend,” James replied firmly. “Sheva, if anyone claims to be my friend in the future, you don’t need to bother with them. Just call me first.” “Not your friend?” Sheva looked confused, then nodded. “Okay.” “By the way, I just wanted to tell you something. I’ve made a decision. I’m going to the Business District sometime soon,” Sheva said seriously. “There’s a jewelry industry association being held there, the National Jewelry Association.” “This event is really important for the company’s development strategy. Do you have time to come with me?” “To the capital city, Dannos?” James thought for a moment. “Alright… Let me know when you're leaving for Dannos.” Now that Hilton Jewelry Corp was growing bigger, it made

  • Chapter 188-She Hated James

    James accidentally started looking into Molo Corp, a company based in the city of Bop. He had only heard Bella mention that Molo Corp was a large consortium founded by a powerful figure who had migrated from the city of Xo to Bop, and from that alone, James already understood what was going on. There was no exception—groups like this clan were always transferring their assets out of the city and fully integrating themselves overseas. No matter how grand their publicity looked, at their core, they were nothing more than lapdogs kneeling and licking bones in Bop. “What right do you have to talk about the Molo family? I’m a nobleman in the city of Bop!” Nathan said proudly. “You humiliated me today, and I swear I’ll return it ten times over—no, a hundred times!” Nathan continued arrogantly. James kicked Nathan hard, slamming him against the wall. He crashed to the ground and coughed up two mouthfuls of blood. Then James stepped forward, grabbed Nathan by the head, and looked down a
