They hugged for a long time when suddenly the phone rang. Samantha took her handphone and saw that it was a call from William."I'll have to take this call," Samantha said gently as she answered it. "Granny wants to have an emergency family meeting. Come quick and don't be late!" William barked coldly the moment Samantha picked up, and then he hung up.When he hung up, Samantha frowned.Lily had only just returned. She wanted to spend time with her, but it seemed like Granny Lyndon wanted to have a family meeting.When she saw Samantha's expression, Lily said gently, "Mom, it's late. If Granny wants to have a family meeting now, then it must be something important. Let's go have a look."It had been more than a year, so Lily wondered if her relatives were alright.Samantha sighed and nodded. "Alright."As she said that, Samantha looked at Lily, her eyes were filled with concern. Lily had not changed at all; she was still a kind-hearted girl. She had only come back and barely h

"That's right…""Granny Lyndon always has a solution!"The financial supply chain problem was a cause of headache for them. None of them could come up with a perfect solution.Since Lily was back, things would not be too complicated to solve.After all, Lily had been married twice, so a few more times would not hurt.'What?' Lily trembled as she looked at Granny Lyndon in a daze. She was stunned.She had just come back, yet they could not wait to marry her off again?Did her happiness mean nothing to her family? Samantha could not take it any longer. She said, "Lily just got back, and you all—"Before she could finish her sentence, Granny Lyndon interrupted her. "You! Stop talking."Then, she smiled and waved at Lily. "Lily is my granddaughter, so, of course, I'm concerned. I've not seen you for a year. Come, let me have a look at you."Lily hesitated for a while before she walked toward her.As soon as she moved toward Granny Lyndon, William stood up and reprimanded Lily,

Lily was downhearted when she heard those jeers and insults. 'How could all these people still be so mean?'"Enough!" Samantha pulled Lily behind her. She scanned these people and said, "Lily is still family. Her face may have been ruined, and she is already upset about it, yet you still laugh at and insult her. Do you not have any guilty conscience at all?""Guilty conscience?""You're one to talk!" William stepped forward and looked at Samantha. He sneered, "One year ago when Lily was about to marry Wade, she made a fuss about how she loved Darryl and wanted to find him. This incident made our family the butt of everyone's joke in the entire Donghai City! "Also, previously, Lily's father made huge losses in some investments. Have you forgotten about that? The reason our family is in a bad state today is because of you three!"The rest nodded in agreement."Yes, our family became like this because of you three!""You two are in no position to speak here?!"Samantha's face flu

Lily trembled; her expression darkened.Samantha was in despair too. She did not expect her family would become so heartless for the sake of money."Granny—" Lily called out.Granny Lyndon held onto her walking cane; she trembled as she stood up. Without any expression on her face, she said, "Lily, don't blame me for being heartless. William is right. If you two insist on being stubborn, we have no choice but to do this."Samantha was livid. She wanted to retort, but Lily stopped her."Mom, leave it!" Lily took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's only about money, isn't it? We'll give it to them."Then she looked at William and asked, "How much more do you need for the financial supply chain?"William coldly said, "100 million."‘100 million!' Lily felt only bitterness in her heart. She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll send the money in a week."Then, Lily pulled Samantha along and left the mansion.…At the Cercis Building in Mid City.The building's entrance was bustlin

"See, I was not wrong! The exhibition is quite lively!" Sara said happily. Her joyful expression was as if she was a little bird that had been let out of its cage.Then, one of the exhibition staff walked forward and yelled through a megaphone. "Alright, the exhibition is now open! Please enter the hall in queues, do not push, do not—"Before he could finish, the people that were in queues swarmed into the exhibition hall.There were many collections, including assorted jades, gold, stones, calligraphy, and paintings! Everything from the Western Zhou dynasty until the end of the Qing dynasty—all kinds of antiques from every dynasty could be found here.The patrons entered the exhibition and started to take out their phones. They wanted to take photos of everything.Darryl, Debra, and Sara admired the antique collections. Debra was not interested in antiques, but she was keen on some ancient paintings and calligraphy.Darryl noticed that the walls in the exhibition hall were fille

Darryl had not wanted to take it to heart. However, when he saw the expressions on the crowd's faces, he chuckled and commented on the Ping'an Tie.What? How dared he comment so unabashedly?The crowd immediately laughed and looked at Darryl condescendingly.Then, right at the moment, there was a commotion at the staircase."Max Harrington is here!""Angela Angel… She's here too!"A few people slowly approached them, accompanied by cheers and exclaims from the crowd.Among them was a middle-aged man who wore a deep blue jacket. Even though he had a gentle face, he had an intense aura that one could not take lightly. That man was Max Harrington.A gorgeous and seductive lady with a petite figure stood next to him. She had long legs, and she was in a light purple long dress. Her body was alluring, and she had exquisite facial features and a head of silky long hair. Her aura seemed extraordinary.She was a famous singer—Angela Angel. She was invited to the exhibition to perform f

"Yes, apologize to Master Max now!""Apologize!"At the crowd's reprimands, Darryl slowly turned his head around and looked at Max. "Apologize? Why should I apologize? I may be direct, but I never lie. This Ping'an Tie is an imitation. Why should I apologize?" The crowd got into an uproar.That man was nuts! How could he be so rude to Master Max? Debra was anxious as well. She knew that Darryl was a stubborn man.Max glared at Darryl and asked, "What proof do you have that this is an imitation?"Max had spent a considerable amount of money to acquire the Ping'an Tie. He had spent countless years studying calligraphy. He had also loved Wang Xizhi's work since he was young, so how could he be wrong? At that moment, Angela Angel also said, "Mister, you said that the work is a fake. Do you have any proof?"She sized Darryl up as she looked at him curiously. Why did that man look so familiar to her? It was as if she had seen him somewhere before that, but she could not pinpoint

The Ping'an Tie that Darryl produced looked precisely like the one on the wall, be it in terms of artistry or technique! The one he just did even had a higher level of artistry than the one on the wall! Did he actually write the one on the wall?How did that seemingly inept person have such a great talent in calligraphy? "You—" After some time, Max finally snapped back to his senses. At that moment, he sweated profusely. He sized Darryl up and said, "My friend, which family are you from? Why did you attend my exhibition today?"'This person doesn't seem like an ordinary person! However, he embarrassed me in front of everyone, that is too much! Now the entire Mid City knows that I have fake items in my exhibition!' Max thought.Max was furious, but he was afraid that Darryl was from an influential family that he could not offend. That was why he asked about his family. Max had invited many affluent families to his exhibition, so many of his guests were quite influential. Darryl
