Unexpectedly, the person most affected by the events at Elite Vault Enterprise was Lady Wilson.


    Facing the slow financial progress of the Wilson Group, she had hoped that ire could convince Elite Vault Enterprise to extend credit for purchasing building materials. This would have alleviated their current financial struggles.


    Then, without warning, Elite Vault Enterprise vanishedpletely in a single afternoon!


    At this moment, Lady Wilson was deeply troubled by the capital fund dilemma. Her main concern was finding a way to secure the necessary funds for herpany.


    ire chose not to share the events of the previous day with her grandmother. After everything that had transpired, she decided to concentrate fully on her project with Emgrand Group, putting family matters aside—even if her grandmother pleaded for her attention.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    After a restful night, ire woke up feeling refreshed and excited for work the next morning.


    Meanwhile, Charlie went to the market early in the day. Upon returning home, he found his father-inw, Jacob, slumped on the sofa, sighing heavily.


    Concerned, he asked, “Dad, what’s wrong? Did someone upset you again? Or did you get scammed on those antiques?”


    Jacob took a sip of jasmine tea and replied, visibly frustrated, “Ugh, don’t even mention ‘antique’! It drives me crazy just thinking about it!”


    “What happened?” Charlie asked, intrigued. “Did someone con you again?”


    “No! It’s about the auction list for the Treasure Pavilion!”


    Charlie was puzzled. “What’s the Treasure Pavilion?”


    “It’s a venue run by the Aurous Hill Antique and Cultural Relic Association, where they frequently host auctions for rare and valuable cultural items. Every prominent family has a spot on the guest list,” Jacob exined, a glimmer of interest lighting up his face.


    However, his expression soon fell as hemented, “The Wilson family only received one invitation, and your grandma gave it to Harold! That fool doesn’t know anything about antiques! Why send him to such an important event?”


    Charlie understood how much Jacob valued antiques, and it was clear how disappointing it was for him to miss this opportunity.


    Trying to lighten the mood, Charlie suggested, “Dad, if you really want to go, you could always buy an invitation from a scalper.”


    Jacob waved his hand dismissively. “Absolutely not! The Moore family organizes the Treasure Pavilion auction, and they’re the most influential family in Aurous Hill. People would do anything to get an invitation; you can’t just buy one.”


    Charlie chuckled, realizing that the Moore family was behind the auction.


    He remembered Jasmine Moore, who had once asked him to verify some antiques for her—getting an invitation from her would be straightforward.


    Charlie confidently said, “I know someone who’s connected to the Moore family. It’ll be easy to get a couple more invitations.”


    Jacob shook his head in disbelief. “Really? What kind of friends do you have? Know someone from the Moore family? Ha!”


    Ignoring the skepticism, Charlie headed upstairs and called Jasmine. “Hello, Miss Moore, could I please get two invitation cards for the Treasure Pavilion auction?”


    Jasmine responded promptly, “Hi, Mr. Wade! Would two be enough? I can get you more if you need.”


    “No, two will be fine. It’s just me and my father-inw.”


    Jacob was a true antique enthusiast, while ire and her mother had little interest in such matters. Bringing them along would only waste their time.


    Moreover, after the Antique Street incident, Charlie felt it was essential to apany Jacob to prevent him from getting scammed again.


    He was also curious to see if there were any rare elixirs or treasures at the auction worth acquiring.


    This thought led him to recall the pebble inscribed with “peace and wealth.”<fn91e0> For original chapters go to fin?novel</fn91e0>


    The pebble had vanished after he saved Loreen, and he suspected he had lost it during the rescue.


    He had searched for it afterward but to no avail.


    Fortunately, he had absorbed all the Reiki from the stone, or he would have regretted losing it immensely.


    Given that the auction items at the Treasure Pavilion were likely to be unique and valuable, he hoped to find something of worth there.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
