Early the next morning, Charlie got ready to go to the auction.
Meanwhile, Jacob had a restless night, consumed by worry over the situation concerning the Quinton family. As a result, he kept pestering Charlie while they were in the living room.
In the midst of this, Charlie turned to Jacob and asked, “Dad, I heard there’s a special treasure going up for auction at the Treasure Pavilion today. Is that true?”
“Yes,” Jacob replied promptly. “I’ve heard it’s a treasure like no other in the world.”
After making this statement, Jacob suddenly remembered something important. He quickly pulled Charlie aside and said, “Listen, my dear son-inw, please don’t get any wild ideas about this treasure. The starting bid is ten million dors! We should just admire it from a distance.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Understanding his father-inw’s concern that he might misuse the Quinton family’s funds, Charlie smiled and reassured him, “Dad, there’s no need to worry. You’re right; I’ll just take a look and won’t try to ce a bid.”
“That’s good to hear,” Jacob said, relieved that he had managed to convince Charlie. “But even if you wanted to bid, you might not get the chance.”
“Why not?” Charlie asked, curious.
“I was out yesterday gathering information about the auction, and I learned that the owner of Mystery Court will also be attending. He’s interested in the final treasure up for bid.”
Charlie was taken aback by Jacob’s revtion. “The owner of Mystery Court is going to be there?”
Little is known about Mystery Court, but its owner, Jack Yaleman, is a renowned Feng Shui master in the country.
Many celebrities are willing to pay hefty sums for his fortune-telling services, and he’s gained fame for his televised lectures on metaphysics.
To have Jack read one’s fortune typically costs at least seven figures. If a celebrity wants to buy something from Mystery Court, his fees might double or even triple.
Despite the steep prices, everything Jack sells is authentic; none of his items are fake.
Moreover, rumors suggest that Jack’s predictions are remarkably urate.
For instance, he once foretold the divorce of a well-known celebrity couple scheduled for November of that year, just as they were basking in their newlywed bliss. No one took his prediction seriously at the time.
Shockingly, in mid-November, the couple announced their divorce on their social media profiles.
This incident propelled Mystery Court into the spotlight, solidifying Jack’s reputation and boosting the demand for his services.
In the entertainment industry, Jack’s namemands respect and admiration.<fn486f> Official source is find?novel</fn486f>
Located in the heart of the city, Mystery Court clearly reflects the significant investment its owner made in securing the premises.
Charlie hadn’t anticipated Jack’s presence at the auction, which hinted that the treasure truly was something extraordinary.
Curiosity got the better of him, and he asked, “What exactly is this final treasure?”
“I have no idea. But it’s likely out of our budget anyway,” Jacob responded.
Just then, Charlie’s phone began to ring.
Upon answering, he recognized Jasmine’s voice on the other end. “Mr. Wade, my car is parked outside your house. I’m here to give you a ride since it’s on my way.”
Jasmine, concerned about potential issues at the reception, decided to pick up both Charlie and Jacob.
As Charlie stepped outside, he spotted a gleaming red Bentley parked by the curb, shining brightly in the sunlight.
Jasmine was leaning casually against her car, dressed in a fitted red dress that entuated her curves. Her long, wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore stylish sunsses.
When Jasmine noticed Charlie and Jacob approaching, she removed her sunsses and greeted them with a warm smile. “Hello Uncle Wilson and Mr. Wade. I’m also heading to the auction at the Treasure Pavilion, so I thought I’d give you a lift.”
“Thank you, Miss Jasmine,” Jacob replied, recognizing her immediately. “You’re too kind.”
“Please, step in,” Jasmine said graciously as she opened the car door for them.
Jacob was taken aback, astonished that the eldest daughter of the Moore family would personally open the door for his son-inw!
