When Jacob made his announcement, everyone around him wore expressions of disbelief.<\/p>\n

Elaine, taken aback, exclaimed, \u201cAre you seriously telling me that someone is willing to pay three hundred thousand dollars for this shabby item? I doubt you could even get fifty bucks for it!\u201d<\/p>\n

With a triumphant grin, Jacob responded, \u201cWhy would I lie to you? If you don\u2019t believe me, just check my message history!\u201d<\/p>\n

At that moment, Jacob pulled out his phone, opened his text messages, and played a voice note from someone named Zachary.<\/p>\n

Zachary\u2019s voice came through clearly. \u201cUncle Jacob, you have a fantastic pen holder! I genuinely believe it\u2019s from the Qing Dynasty! Why not sell it to me instead? I\u2019ll offer you three hundred thousand dollars for it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Elaine\u2019s surprise was palpable as she exclaimed, \u201cOh my goodness! You were telling the truth! Jacob, you\u2019re amazing! You bought the pen holder for five thousand dollars and sold it for three hundred thousand! If you keep this up, we might just become wealthy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacob chuckled and asked, \u201cSo, are you convinced now? Do you believe me?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely!\u201d Elaine replied without hesitation. As someone who had always admired wealth, she fully supported anyone who had it. Hearing that Jacob had sold the pen holder for such a large sum made her quickly forget her earlier skepticism. She smiled and remarked, \u201cMy husband is truly incredible! I can\u2019t believe you have such talent in antique trading! It looks like Charlie is still the least impressive one in this family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie\u2019s expression shifted immediately. What did he have to do with this? Had Jacob already forgotten that he was the one who had created the herbal pills that sold successfully last time?<\/p>\n

At that moment, Charlie realized he needed to find out who Zachary was selling the pen holder to. What Zachary was doing seemed like giving his father-in-law money without any strings attached!<\/p>\n

With excitement, Jacob handed the pen holder to Charlie and said, \u201cCharlie, please take this to Antique Street tomorrow and give it to Zachary. He said he\u2019ll have three hundred thousand dollars in cash ready for you, and you can bring the money back for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie nodded eagerly. \u201cSure thing, Dad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacob was pleased and continued, \u201cCharlie, you should join me for more antique trades and events in the future. If you keep following me, you might develop an eye for antiques like I have. Then we can make a fortune together! What do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie could only agree verbally, but inside, he was thinking about all the trouble Jacob had caused him in the past. How could Jacob have the confidence to ask him to learn from him? Didn\u2019t he remember the antique vase he broke at Vintage Deluxe? If Charlie hadn\u2019t been there to help fix it, Jacob could have ended up in jail! How would he ever be able to pay for that ruined vase?<\/p>\n

However, reflecting on it, Charlie saw that his father-in-law was just like a child\u2014eager to pursue what made him happy.<\/p>\n

\u2026<\/p>\n

The following morning, Jacob called Charlie with excitement. \u201cCharlie, can you go find Zachary? I want you to deliver the pen holder to him as soon as possible so you can collect my money!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie nodded and asked, \u201cDad, aren\u2019t you coming with me?\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacob replied, \u201cI\u2019m attending an event organized by the Calligraphy and Painting Association today. They\u2019ve invited me to the meeting and a conference! After the conference, I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll get invited to many exclusive auctions for paintings and calligraphy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie sighed, \u201cAlright, I\u2019ll head to Antique Street to find Zachary then.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Jacob had given him the task, Charlie made his way to Antique Street to look for Zachary.<\/p>\n

Claire was also on a break from work and, feeling bored, said to Charlie, \u201cI\u2019ll go with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie agreed, \u201cOkay, let\u2019s take your car.\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire replied, \u201cI\u2019m tired and don\u2019t feel like driving today. You can drive instead.\u201d<\/p>\n
