NovelEnglishThe news that Emgrand Group had blacklisted the Wilson Group spread around Aurous Hill quickly.
At this time, everyone in Aurous Hill already knew that the Wilson family was finished. News that the old lady
had been admitted to the hospital as soon as she heard about the fate of the Wilson Group also spread very
quickly. 4
Charlie's father-in-law, Jacob, was not even surprised when he heard the news. 1
He calmly told his daughter and son-in-law, "My mother has always been like that. She has always felt the need
to control other people throughout her entire life. It was only a matter of tbefore she suffers from her own
actions! There is no need for us to feel sympathetic at all. We should give her stto reflect on herself in
the hospital. Perhaps she will finally understand what she has done wrong in her life!" 3
Charlie was relieved because it was rare for Jacob to finally look aside when it cto matters related to his
mother.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Claire began to secretly look for a job. 3
When Charlie was done cooking dinner later in the evening, he suddenly heard the sound of the door

opening behind him.
He turned around and saw Jacob walking in, looking extremely happy.
Charlie looked at the expression on Jacob's face and could not help but to ask, "Dad, why are you so happy after
taking a stroll? Did something good happened?"
"Hahaha! I have really good luck today!" Jacob replied as he laughed. "After taking the pill that you gave me, all
the pain that | was feeling vanished completely. Moreover, | am feeling extremely refreshed and energetic right
now!" 2
"Do you want to guess who | met at Antique Street just now?" 1
"Who?" Charlie was very worried. Did his father-in-law get cheated by the counterfeit dealers and stall owners at
Antique Street again?
Charlie glanced up and down at Jacob before heaving a huge sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Jacob had chempty-handed today.
Jacob sipped the cup of tea in his hand before speaking mysteriously, "Son-in-law, do you remember the owner
of the antique stall that we went to before this? | am talking about Zachary, the swindler at Antique Street. Do
you remember him?"
"Yes, | do. What happened?" 1
"Haha! | met that kid when | went to Antique Street
today!"
Charlie was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Dad! Did you buy anything from him again?"
"No!" Jacob replied as he waved his hands happily." Zachary knows that | am your father-in-law, and he does not
dare to cheatof my money anymore. He not only gavea piece of jade pendant today, but he also helped
Charlie frowned at this time. He was not worried because the jade pendant that Zachary gave to his old man was
probably a fake anyway, but he found it really strange that Zachary would offer to sell medicine for him.
"What medicine are you talking about?"
"The pills that you made forto treat my traumatic injuries! | know that it's a pill to relieve the heart," Jacob
replied as he slapped his thigh excitedly. "My injuries are completely healed! As soon as Zachary heard about my
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminjuries and the effectiveness of the pills, he toldthat he had a way to sell the pills for me. | gave two of the
pills to him, but I did not expect him to really be able to sell the pills!" 5 Charlie was dumbfounded.
The pill was not a rare or precious item and he would have allowed the old man to throw it away if he did not
finish it. However, Charlie was amazed because Zachary was really good at taking advantage of any loopholes
that he could find. He was even able to sell leftover medication!
"Dad, there is no authentication for these pills. How could you sell it?" 1
Jacob simply replied, "I don't know about that, but Zachary helpedto sell the pills anyway. Do you want to
guess how much I sold it for?" 2 "Over a thousand dollars?" 1
"No, you are not even close!" Jacob laughed triumphantly. "I sold it for half a million dollars!" 2

Charlie had been drinking water at this time, and he spurted the water out of his mouth as soon as he heard
Jacob's words. 1
He could not believe it. The pills probably cost less than a hundred dollars, but Zachary had actually managed to
sell it for half a million dollars?!
