Thea got ten billion dollars from James. She carefully made plans for the money.
She had been grateful for her family’s upbringing, so now that she had money, she did not forget to
give her parents 100 million dollars each. However, Benjamin’s 100 million was taken by Gladys as
soon as he got the money from her.
Thea was speechless after she found out.
Then, she secretly gave Benjamin one million dollars and told her to spend it.
Benjamin was an honest man with no status in the Callahans. Still, it did not stop him from having rich
hobbies.
He had always loved antiques and studied them for a long time. Now that he had some money, he
came to Antique Street to see if he could pick up some good deals.
Nothing had caught his eye after shopping for the whole day. Walking along Antique Street, he arrived
at Sovereign Antique Shop’s entrance before he knew
He raised his head at the Sovereign Antique Shop’s signboard. As a local of Cansington and an
antique lover, it was impossible for him not to have heard of Sovereign Antique Shop. This was a very
famous shop, and rumors outside claimed that there were no fakes in the Sovereign Antique Shop. The
shop promises to pay ten folds the price if the product you buy from them is fake.
He had never dared to enter such a store before because everything in the store was priced from ten
thousand onward.
Now that he had money, he finally felt confident to enter the shop.
He walked into Sovereign Antique Shop. “Welcome, Sir.” Just as he entered, a young lady in a
revealing dress approached him. This was one of the store’s salespeople that specialized in selling
antiques. Their salary depended on their performance. Thus, the more things they sell, the higher the
commission. The sexy lady was about 25 or 26 years old. She wore a red dress that was relatively
short, only reaching the base of her thighs which completely exposed her long slender legs.
“Sir, what are you looking for? Porcelain or paintings?” The young lady walked over to Benjamin and
hooked her arms on his. Benjamin’s body trembled,
He would be dead if the tigress at home found out about this.
However, he already knew that such a big store would have good service. Beautiful women greeted
customers inside the store, and upon successful transactions, customers would be allowed to take
them outside.
“I-I’ll just have a look around,” Benjamin stuttered from nervousness.
“This way, please.” The young lady led Benjamin to a corner of the antique shop and introduced the
products,“ The antiques in this year date back to the year sixteen hundred to the early years of
nineteen hundred. The prices aren’t too expensive, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of
thousands.”
The young lady was very professional and patiently introduced the products. She knew each antique’s
origin and value. However, Benjamin did not seem satisfied.
Eventually, the young lady led Benjamin to the second floor. She pointed to an area and said,”
Everything over there is antiques from the six hundred AD to nine hundred AD. They’re slightly pricier
and have a higher collection value.”
She pointed to a jade plate and advertised, That used to belong to a royal family. It used to be the
treasure of the royal king. Even after so many years, it maintained a crystal clear appearance.”
The young lady’s name was Jasmine Scott.
She was pretty observant and noticed that Benjamin was interested in things related to jade along the
way. Thus, she deliberately marketed the jade plate to him.
“This jade plate was sold for more than one million dollars a year ago. However, just in one year, it had
risen to more than three million dollars. The current price is three million eight hundred thousand
dollars. The market value will surely increase in a few more years, and it wouldn’t be a problem to sell it
for more than four to five million dollars.”
“Really?” Benjamin asked curiously. “Of course, everything in this store has been certified by
professional experts, and all have an authentication certificate. We offer a ten-fold compensation if
anything you buy is discovered to be fake, so do rest assured.”
“Can I take a look at it?”
Benjamin stared at the crystal clear jade plate on the counter. He was really interested in the jade plate
“Sure.” Jasmine retrieved the keys, opened the transparent counter, and said, “Have a look but please
be careful. This thing is worth a fortune so if it breaks, you will have to compensate it according to its
price.” “Yes, I understand.”
Benjamin nodded.
He looked at the jade plate and carefully picked it up. The pattern and the texture of it. He was deeply
in love with the jade plate.
He held onto it and inspected it left and right. The more he looked, the more he liked it.
