Obsessed With Her Novel by Master Momo (Chapters 571, 572, 573, 574, 575, 576, 577, 578, 579, 580)

Chapter 571

Hanson’s face slightly darkened when he saw that the jade Buddha statue had fallen into the hands of the Danontaneans. However, he didn’t blame Charles.

The last auction item appeared. It was the Rat Monster. The auctioneer introduced to the bidders, “This Rat Monster belonged to the royal family of Chanaea about two hundred years ago. The mouse is the first animal in the Twelve Chanaean Zodiacs. It represents…”

Chanaeans possessed very few of the items of the ancient royal family. On the contrary, the other powerful countries had batches and batches of these items.

How mocking it was!

Even if Chanaea was a big country, it was being taken advantage of by the others because it lagged behind and was weak. All the wealth accumulated since thousands of years ago had been taken away by foreigners.

Foreigners were nurtured by the resources and wealth of Chanaea.

All of these items weren’t just antiques to the Chanaeans but also motivators for improvement.

In the older days, the powerful countries had smaller land areas and fewer resources. So, they began to scrape off the wealth of the other countries in the world and transported them to Chanaea. They tried to strengthen their own country in order to continue plundering the wealth of the world.

They used wars to prepare for another war.

Wars could deplete a great fortune. However, at the same time, they could also generate a huge amount of money.

Half a century ago, almost every continent was left with the marks of their damage.

Chanaea was one of those that had been riddled with destruction.

But now, Chanaeans have to buy back the wealth that had been stolen using their own hard-earned money.

How helpless they were!

After the auctioneer had finished introducing it, he announced its opening bid. It turned out that The Rat Monster had an opening bid of 9 million dollars!

All of the Chanaeans at the auction were shocked.

This was the highest opening bid, not only in this auction but also among all the other Chanaean antiques.

Hanson almost fainted upon hearing the price.

“How shameless!” said Hanson furiously.

“Don’t be angry, Mr. Tomas. You will hurt your body.”

Jessica frowned and said, “They’re getting greedier by the minute.”

“You will get used to it.”

Charles had gotten familiar with situations like this, as he had dealt with those kinds of people a lot of times.

“Sometimes, I wonder if I should just go and…”

Jessica decided not to say the word “rob” out loud.

Even though Jessica didn’t say the word, Charles knew what she was thinking.

“That’s quite a good idea,” said Charles smilingly. Jessica chuckled.

As the opening bid was high, a lot of people had given up upon hearing it.

Many of the Chanaeans had the intention to bid for it, but they didn’t have the capability. They could only put their hopes on Charles and Hanson.

Before Charles raised his auction paddle, the price had already been pushed up to 12 million dollars by Hanson and the other foreign businessmen.

The assistant sitting beside Hanson asked, “Mr. Tomas, we have only brought 13 million dollars. I am afraid we might not be able to win the bid. Should we…”

He looked toward Charles.

He had automatically ignored Jessica’s words about how she could try to help.

In his opinion, Jessica was still young. She might have some money, but it would not be much as it was all given by her parents.

Charles is the only person capable of helping Mr. Tomas.

Hanson shook his head, as he didn’t want to trouble others for their help.

The Young family has already brought many cultural relics back to the country using their own money.

How could I be so brazen as to ask them for help?

“Ask Kelvin whether he can still allocate any more money over here.”

They knew that the item would not be cheap. However, they didn’t expect the people to set such a high price on it.

The assistant started to contact Kelvin. They were afraid that other people might have won the bid already before they could manage to acquire the money.

Hanson started to consider whether he should take action first.

While they were still trying to come up with a solution, Charles slowly raised his auction paddle.

Chapter 572

“15 million dollars.”

The price went up by two bid increments.

Levi and Grayson looked at each other. Their eyes were full of excitement.

“I knew that the Chanaeans cared a lot about that antique!”

Grayson raised his paddle. The price went up once again to 15.5 million dollars.

He was planning to bid the price up gradually.

“Don’t place the bid too high, Grayson.”

Bidding in an auction was a mind game.

If one bids too high of a price, it might cause the other party to give up.

However, if one raised the bid gradually, it would give the impression to others that they could win the bid by placing a slightly higher bid.

The price could slowly be raised without anyone noticing.

“I understand. I will do it properly this time.”

Both parties raised their bids little by little. The atmosphere became tense as the price gradually went up.

Everyone was focusing on Charles and Grayson.

Hanson’s assistant became nervous, hearing the increasing price. He was constantly wiping off the cold sweat on his face.

“No. 2 bids 17 million dollars.”

Grayson started to hesitate as he thought that the price was nearly at its highest.

He didn’t want to continue. Subconsciously, he turned to look at Charles.

As if he could sense him, Charles looked sideways and smiled at him. Then, he made a gesture to ask Grayson for his next move.

Is he provoking me?

Grayson narrowed his eyes as he started to ponder.

A person who has always been so calm is suddenly acting abnormally. Does this mean he is starting to panic. too?

Or is he just trying to confuse me?

In only a few seconds, countless possibilities had popped up in Grayson’s head.

He raised his hand subconsciously.

“No. 44 bids 17.5 million dollars.”

Charles frowned and showed an unhappy expression for a second. He raised his hand immediately after.

Grayson noticed the subtle expression on Charles’ face and rejoiced secretly.

l was right! He was deliberately acting that way to make me give up.

“No. 2 bids for 18 million dollars.”

Grayson was about to raise his paddle when Levi reminded him, “That’s enough.”

Levi was really afraid that they would win an overpriced bid again.

Grayson smiled and said arrogantly, “Don’t worry, I know what to do. Just wait for me to avenge us.”

Levi didn’t speak anymore when he saw how confident Grayson was.

Grayson raised his paddle when the auctioneer was making the penultimate count.

At that moment, every Chanaean at the auction had the urge to insult Grayson.

“Those Danontaneans are evil.”

“They are so disgusting.”

Hanson frowned. He wanted to ask Charles to give up, but he found himself unable to stop staring at the Rat Monster, which was on display.

The price had soared up to 18.5 million dollars.

Jessica was nervous, and her whole body tensed up. People would usually be very excited during this time. However, Charles was still very calm.

Even Jessica didn’t know whether Charles would continue bidding or give up.

Every single person at the auction was looking at Charles. Grayson was waiting for Charles’ move after he had raised his paddle.

Charles looked at Jessica and asked in a low voice, “Do you think I should continue bidding?”

Jessica didn’t know how to answer.

How would I know whether to continue or stop?

From its age and its workmanship perspectives, the Rat Monster was nothing compared to the other cultural relics in Chanaea.

An iron statue that’s so roughly made is calling for a price of 15 million dollars in our currency.

It’s not worth the price!

But, its historical significance is worth all the money in the world.

Jessica hesitated for the first time. “You should decide.”

She didn’t want to just give away the money like this.

The auctioneer on the stage was already counting down, but Charles was still calmly chatting with Jessica. Grayson was at a loss for words when he saw how undisturbed Charles was.

Chapter 573

How could he talk now when the situation is so critical? Can he respect the auction?

“Three million dollars, going twice.”

Charles remained unmoved, whereas Grayson was covered in beads of cold sweat…

Hanson’s assistant was just about to remind him, but he was stopped by Hanson himself.

“Three million dollars, going thrice.”

“Since you don’t like it, let’s not continue with the bid,” Charles said with a smile.

Jessica was rendered speechless.

Do you not realize how everyone’s staring at you, Charles? Wait a minute. What did he mean when he said that I don’t like it? When did I say so?

“That’s up to you,” Jessica replied without a hint of an expression.

“Well, fine. It’s up to me then,” Charles said without disagreeing.

At that moment, the auctioneer dropped his gavel to close the bidding.

“A huge congratulations to the forty-fourth guest for winning the bid of this rat monster over here.”

Grayson’s face darkened as he realized he had again fallen into the trap.

Levi was annoyed as well. He had foreseen this scenario, which was why he had asked Grayson to stop bidding. They could afford the item, but Levi didn’t want to buy it that way. He was angry about the fact that they had been tricked.

Once the auction came to an end, the guests went to the ballroom to relax and mingle with one another.

A group of locals came to talk to Charles and Jessica when they entered the ballroom.

Right when they were about to leave, Grayson and Levi went over to them with wine glasses in their hands.

“You’re indeed young and capable, Mr. Young,” Levi said while smiling.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Young. I only got to know what that rat monster means to your country a moment ago. If I had known that earlier, I would’ve let you win the bid. I hope you’ Il forgive my ignorance,” Grayson said.

Jessica almost chuckled out of frustration. They’re here to show off.

Holding a glass of wine in his hand, Charles smirked and said, “Don’t worry. I can see that Mr. Evan bought a few antiques today. Please be careful while handling them as they are very fragile. I know quite a lot about antiques. You can ask me anything if you want.”

“That’s great.”

Both of them were two-faced.

“It’s a bit late now. Please excuse us.”

Levi and Grayson both raised their glasses and gave him a toast.

Charles and Jessica left after that.

On their way back, Jessica said, “Mr. Tomas seemed slightly disappointed.”

“Do you have any regrets?” Charles asked while he tapped the cushion with his fingers.

“Not really. It’s just that I feel bad for Mr. Tomas after I got to know the nature of his work,” Jessica said in an upset tone.

That was not what Charles wanted to achieve.

“Silly girl,” he teased.

After that, Charles fished out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

“Find out where they’re staying and keep a close eye on them. Get started with our plan as soon as the deal is sealed.”

Upon hearing that, Jessica’s eyes went wide open.

“Charles, could you perhaps…?”

Charles smiled and said, “Just as what you’ve wished for.”.

We’ll rob them!

Jessica stared at Charles in disbelief.

“I want to join!”

The robbery!

“Okay,” Charles agreed without hesitation.

Once a bid was sealed off, the organizer would make both sides pay.

After that, there would be a delivery service to send the items to the bidder.

Levi and Grayson had personal security guards. Naturally, they did not use the service provided by the auction organizer.

The workers from the auction place moved the items to their manor and left as Levi and Grayson’s personal security guards would be handling the items from thereon.

Chapter 574

“Go easy on them, please!”

“Be extra careful! There’s no way any of you can compensate it if it breaks!”

Grayson and Levi stood aside and monitored the manager and his subordinates.

There were many other valuables in the underground vault apart from what they had gotten at the auction.

Frowning, Grayson stared at the items. There was not a hint of joy in his gaze.

Giving Grayson’s shoulder a few light pats, Levi said, “It may seem like we’ve been taken advantage of, but in fact, we’re still making a profit. We’ll earn back the money we lost today from the Chanaeans when we auction these items back to them in the future.”

“Guard these valuables carefully,” Grayson ordered the manager.

“No problem,” the manager replied in a serious tone.

Grayson and Levi then left the vault and went upstairs to the spa lounge to relax.

Once the manager counted everything, he shut and locked the heavy metal door of the vault before leaving. There was no way anyone could open the door without the passcode and the key.

Meanwhile, a group of people dressed in black from head to toe was hiding in the bushes near the manor.

Jessica and Charles were among those people.

Their subordinates had gotten the mansion’s floor plan earlier on.

“There are two vaults in this mansion. We’re not sure which vault they’ve placed the items in,” Wolf said as he studied the plan.

Jessica looked at the detailed floor plan.

Seeing how deep in thought Jessica was, Charles asked, ” Where do you think they could’ve hidden it, Jess?”

Narrowing her eyes, Jessica gave it some thought and replied with her finger pointing somewhere with a pentagon symbol, “I think it should be here.”

Charles turned to look at Wolf and ordered, “Let’s go there.”

Wolf stared at him in disbelief.

Boss, there’s nothing wrong with you making your wife happy. However, you can’t treat this like it’s a game! Is it really okay for you to make her happy this way?

Seeing the expression on Wolf, Charles asked coldly, “Is there anything you want to say to me?”

Wolf shook his head and gave an order to a few of his subordinates. “The few of you, make your entrance first. Once you’re in, deactivate the alarms and get rid of the guards watching.”

Six figures then moved swiftly across the manor in the dark. Each of their movements looked precise and well-trained.

Soon, there came a reply on their earphones.

“We’ve deactivated the alarms.”

“The guards have been dealt with too.”

Wolf did not say a word. He turned to look at Charles.

“Let’s get moving now.”

As Charles finished his sentence, everyone began to move toward the mansion.

It was the first time Jessica did something like that. She knew everyone around her was professional just by the look of it.

Jessica stole a glance at Charles.

It does seem like Charles’ identity is not that simple. There’s no way he’s just any normal businessman.

Charles noticed that Jessica was staring at him. “Are you afraid?” he asked.

“No.”

Jessica was impressed by how fast the men were able to unlock the main door without a key.

I know how to pick a lock as well, but I’m no way as fast as them. They’re indeed professionals.

All of them then headed straight to the warehouse just as they originally planned.

Once they reached it, a heavy metal door with a

complicated passcode and thumbprint security system came into view. Upon seeing that, they knew they had gone to the right place.

Chapter 575

Two of them opened a black box that they had brought… along. They connected the box to the smart lock and started to type something on a keyboard. Not long after, the door clicked open as they had successfully decoded the smart lock.

They pushed the door open. One of them went into the vault to deactivate the alarm.

After that, the person inside gestured at the people outside.

Everything was done in no time at all.

Jessica had seen something like that in the movies. However, it was her first time experiencing it in real life. Hence, that made her excited. She felt like giving it a go too. “They’re so professional,” Jessica said with an impressed tone.

“Do you want to learn from them?” Charles asked. He could see that she was impressed.

“Can I?” Jessica asked. She had always been the type of person who wanted to learn more.

Wolf overheard the conversation. “You don’t have to learn from them. The boss can teach you everything. He’s the best at lock picking,” he said.

Charles gave Wolf a death stare. How dare he steal my line!

Upon seeing that, Wolf trembled with fear and stopped talking instantly.

Jessica looked at them suspiciously.

“I can teach you,” Charles said. Then, he added, “For free.” “That’s a deal!”

“Okay,” Charles replied and gave Jessica’s face a light pinch. All of them went into the warehouse after that. It was like a mini-museum inside, filled with all sorts of invaluable antiques.

Most of the items belonged to Chanaea. A lot of them were precious and unique antiques.

“Boss, we found it. The jade Buddha statue and the rat monster are here.”

Jessica and Charles walked over. The jade Buddha statue and rat monster were both placed in a wooden box. “That’s right. These are what we’re looking for.”

Staring at the items displayed neatly on the racks, Wolf said, “How dare they steal all of these antiques from our country!”

It was a known fact that Jetroina had collected a lot of antiques from Chanaea when the former colonized the latter.

What they saw in the vault that day was just the tip of the iceberg.

“Empty out the warehouse!” Charles ordered as he looked around the room.

Upon hearing that, Wolf and the other members smiled.

“Let’s get started!” Wolf ordered and waved his hand. The other members then began to sort and move the antiques out of the vault.

Staring at them, Jessica slowly got carried away by her thoughts. Why do they look so well-trained? Do they often carry out this sort of operation?

Charles looked at the expression on her face and wondered what was going on in her head.

“Is there anything you fancy?” he asked.

Jessica shook her head. She had no interest in that sort of thing.

Although they were working at full speed, it still took them almost an hour to finish emptying out the vault.

As they prepared to leave, Charles ordered them to enter the second vault.

Their jaws almost dropped when they did so.

Besides antiques from Chanaea, there were also items from around the world, such as the ancient Eskaria.

Chapter 576

They had indeed stolen a lot of things from us last time.

“Move all these as well!” Charles ordered.

Two hours later, four fully filled trucks left the manor quietly.

The next morning, the guards had the biggest shock of their lives when they went down to the vaults as they found the doors wide open.

Grayson and Levi were just about to wake up when

someone knocked on their doors frantically. Their heads were still heavy from the night before.

Frowning, Grayson said, “Come in.”

The woman sleeping next to him tightened the blanket around herself instinctively.

“Bad news! Both the vaults were emptied out!” the manager said as cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

“You useless idiots!” Grayson yelled.

He dashed to the vault right away, not wearing any clothes.

Grayson was infuriated by the sight of the empty vault. He turned to look at the security guards and yelled, “Useless bastards! You’re all fired!”

He stopped for a second to catch his breath before he added, “Who on earth did this!”

Just as Grayson finished his sentence, he fainted. There was blood coming out of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Levi was standing in front of the other warehouse. He trembled with anger when he saw how empty the vault was.

“Bastard! Who did this?”

They quickly called the police. Soon, the police were investigating the four trucks. However, they could not find anything as the number plates of the trucks were all fake.

The theft made it to the headline of the news in Frosa that day. Not only that, it was heavily reported in other countries as well. Everyone was watching it closely.

Hanson trembled once he heard of the news.

“Are you okay, Mr. Tomas?” his assistant asked.

Waving his hand, Hanson said, “I’m fine. However, it does seem like we’ll never get to see the jade Buddha statue or the rat monster ever again.”

After that, Hanson left Frosa with disappointment. He had no idea that he would be seeing the jade Buddha statue and the rat monster again a month later.

After such a huge incident, Charles and Jessica carried on with their lives as usual, as if nothing had happened. The only change for Jessica was that she had begun to learn the art of lock picking from Charles.

Jessica wondered where Charles had gotten different types of locks and even a chest with a number lock.

“Let’s get started with the basics first.”

Jessica began to pick a basic lock. Kacha! It took her just a few seconds on her first try.

Charles was slightly surprised.

“Have a go at these.”

Jessica continued to unlock the locks that Charles had laid out in order to increase difficulty. She had no trouble in unlocking them up till the fourth lock.

“To open this, you have to first understand the structure,” Charles said patiently. On the other hand, Jessica paid full attention to what he was saying.

Meanwhile, a car slowly drove into Charles’ manor. A young woman got out of the car once it pulled over. She raised her head to look at the manor. A smile formed on her face.

The butler went up to greet the woman. “This way please, Ms. Leonard.”

“Where’s Jess?” Daisy asked as she walked into the manor.

Chapter 577

“Ms. Stone is studying on the third floor. Please take a rest here, Ms. Leonard. I shall inform her of your arrival,” the butler said politely.

“Okay.”

Daisy sat down on the couch and looked around the room.

The maid served her a cup of coffee and some dessert.

A few minutes later, Jessica and Charles came down. Daisy looked in the direction of the noise and saw them both. Her eyes widened.

Gosh! Isn’t that Sam’s Uncle, Charles? Why is he here with Jess?

“Daisy!” Jessica said with a smile. It had been a long time since they last met.

“Jess.”

They then hugged each other tightly.

“I missed you so much.”

“I missed you too.”

A lot of things happened in the last six months. They had so much to share with each other. They spent the entire afternoon talking.”

Charles sat beside them and listened. There was no chance for him to chime in. They were so engrossed with each other that they had forgotten about him.

There was nothing Charles could do except to admire Jessica’s beauty. He found her extraordinarily beautiful that day.

At that moment, Charles’ phone rang. He went outside to answer it.

“Let me bring you somewhere special tonight.”

Daisy heard from someone that Jessica was in the country, but she rarely stepped out of the mansion. There was no way Daisy could let that happen. She knew she had to show Jessica around.

“Where is it?”

Daisy smiled mysteriously. “You’ll know it when we’re there, but…”

She looked toward Charles and said softly, “Let’s not bring Charles. It won’t be fun if he’s there.”

Daisy did not want Charles there as she found him very cold and not approachable. He would spoil the mood, in her opinion.

Jessica laughed. Charles is so young, handsome, and capable. I can’t believe Daisy doesn’t want him to be there.

“Okay.”

After dinner, Daisy left right away with Jessica.

Standing at the door, Charles saw how the two ignored him. He cleared his throat to get their attention. “I don’t think it’s safe for just the two of you to go out at night. I…”

Before Charles could finish his sentence, Daisy interrupted him. “Don’t worry, Charles. We’ll be meeting my other classmates. There’ll be more than ten of us in total. You don’t have to worry about our safety.”

“Charles, go have a rest,” Jessica added. They then waved at him and left.

Charles watched them leave helplessly. How can she ditch me just like that when her friend is here?

Soon, they arrived at a club located on a busy street. Daisy seemed to be familiar with the place.

There were many skimpily dressed women and hot guys dancing away to the music on the dance floor.

Jessica glanced at them briefly before looking away.

“Is this the place you were talking about?”

“Yes!”

Jessica was rendered speechless. She had no interest in that kind of place.

Daisy noticed that Jessica was acting uncomfortable. She put her arm around Jessica’s shoulder and said, “Relax.

You’ll first find it awkward, but once you get used to it, you’ll understand the thrill of it.”

It was the first time they went clubbing. They did not have the chance to do that back at home as their parents were very strict. Since they were both overseas, Daisy wanted to seize the opportunity to party with Jessica.

Chapter 578

Soon, Daisy’s friends arrived at the club. There were both males and females. Half of them were Chanaeans.

All of them knew each other. Jessica was the only stranger there.

Daisy put one arm around Jessica and announced, “Guys, this is my best friend. Be nice to her.”

The guys could not stop staring at Jessica. They were clearly interested.

One of the dashing guys went to sit down right next to Jessica. He reached out his hand and spoke in awkward Chanaise, “Hi there, nice meeting you. I’m Alan.”

“Jessica.”

He poured her a glass of whiskey. Jessica accepted it out of courtesy. However, she did not drink it.

“You’re stunning,” Alan said with a smile.

Seeing how he struggled with Chanaise, Jessica replied back in Ustranian. “You’re very handsome too,” she said. Alan was impressed by her Ustranian. He opened his eyes in disbelief and said, “Gosh! I didn’t expect your Ustranian to be so fluent.”

Daisy and a few friends went dancing. They could see what was happening over at their seat from the dance floor.

“Daisy, I think Alan’s hitting on your friend,” one of the girls said.

Daisy smirked as she could sense the jealousy in the girl’s tone. “Don’t worry, she’s not attracted to foreigners,” she said.

Upon hearing that, the girl breathed a sigh of relief. However, she was still slightly annoyed, especially when she saw how unperturbed Jessica was,

Jessica could no longer stand Alan’s pick-up lines. She found an excuse to leave and she went to the washroom.

A few heavily tattooed men were standing in the corridor in front of the washrooms.

They whistled at Jessica when she walked past them.

“Hey there, gorgeous.”

“Hey, gorgeous. Are you interested in having some fun together?”

Jessica ignored them. She headed straight to the

washroom. Once she entered, she could see a few women smoking inside.

One of them stared at Jessica and cursed, “Disgusting Chanaeans!”

That made Jessica stops and glare at the woman.

The woman was terrified for one second, but she quickly regained her composure.

All Chanaeans are scared of getting into trouble. They won’t even react when people insult them. They’ll just leave the scene quietly.

Narrowing her eyes, Jessica said, “Say it again.”

“You’re just a lowly and disgusting Chanaean. Go back to your home country. You’re not welcome here.”

As she finished her sentence, the women around her began to laugh loudly.

All of a sudden, Jessica dashed toward the woman. She grabbed her by the neck and pinned her to the wall.

She slowly lifted the woman up with one arm.

All the other women stared at Jessica in fear. They did not expect someone as petite as her to do that to an adult woman.

“Let me teach you some manners today!”

用

Chapter 579

The woman began to look terrified.

“Damn it! Let me down, you disgusting Chanaean!”

The woman tried to free herself, but she did not succeed.

Jessica gave the woman a few paths (“Success”-1,error”:{” code”: 4038,”message”: “context timeout”}}
