“I knew you’d forget, so I thought I’d give you a heads–up!” Hilda said with a teasing smile.

“Got it, Mom. I’ve got to go now, but I’ll call you when I can, okay?” Carlisle quickly ended the call and made his way downstairs.

In his previous life, Carlisle used to spend his birthdays at his grandfather’s place. On that particular night, Riverland TV Station aired a major news report.

The wealthiest person in Riverland, Yuriel, spent 80 thousand dollars in a local antique shop in Rainville. He snagged an original Galloping Horses painting by Harold Delacruz. Later, he flipped it for a staggering 3.86 million dollars.

Carlisle hailed a cab. “To Rainville, please!”

“Rainville?” The cab driver raised an eyebrow. “I don’t usually do long–distance trips…”

Carlisle grinned. “How about three hundred dollars?” he asked.

Carlisle got down from the cab. Just then, another cab pulled over by the roadside.
