After lunch, Zeke made arrangements to send a truckload of daffodils to Charlie’s house.The daffodils he sent were all high-quality grades that were very lush and green, and none of them were flowering as per Charlie’s request.Daffodils looked very similar to chives especially when they were not blooming. People in the city could not distinguish plants very clearly. Also, most people who ate chives had only seen chives sold in the market that were tied in a bundle, but they had never seen chives growing in the ground, so they were unable to differentiate chives and daffodils in plain sight and would often get confused by the similarities.Chive was a vegetable fancied by many people. It was an indispensable amazing ingredient when it came to stir-frying, soup, making pies, or dumplings. However, daffodils were not edible.Why? Because daffodils contained narcissus.Narcissus was a toxic alkaloid.When Elaine told Charlie that Lady Wilson liked to eat chives, he immediately

Hannah hurriedly asked in a honeyed tone, “Mom, why do you need eggs and flour?”Lady Wilson answered, “I want to make eggs and chives dumplings for dinner!”Harold shrieked in surprise, “Grandma, are we having dumplings tonight?”“Yes!” Lady Wilson uttered, smiling ear to ear, “Do you like chives and eggs?”Harold giggled. “Of course! Oh, I love it so much! I haven’t eaten eggs and chives dumplings for a long time! I’m starting to drool when you say it!”Christopher also smiled and said, “Mom, why do you want to eat eggs and chives dumplings suddenly? You haven’t made dumplings for a long time.”Lady Wilson laughed and said, “I’m happy today! So happy that I could fill myself with eggs and chives dumplings!”“Wonderful!” Christopher huffed with a sigh, “I haven’t had dumplings for a long time, I can finally satisfy my cravings today!”Hannah asked, “Mom, other than eggs and flour, do I need to buy some chives?”Lady Wilson grinned triumphantly, “Charlie bought a lot of fresh

Elaine was so angry right then that she almost exploded out of rage.She had just warned Charlie to beware of the old lady in the morning, but instead of taking her warning seriously, he had bought so many fresh chives home!Great, now they were like a charity center to the old lady and her family!If it was in the past, she would have scolded Charlie already, but she didn’t have the courage to do so now.At this moment, Claire asked Charlie in the room, “Dear, what do you want to have for dinner?”Charlie smiled coyly and asked, “You don’t usually care about these things, what’s with the change of attitude? Why do you want to know what I want to eat tonight?”Claire pasted on a childlike smile and said, “I want to go pick some vegetables in the garden. Tell me what you want to eat, I’ll go pick them in the garden. What do you think? Does it sound like a good idea?”Charlie nodded and said with a warm smile, “Let’s go together then, just like what we did this morning.”Claire’s

Christopher whined sheepishly, “Okay, okay, you’re right, Mom. I’ll listen to you, okay?”Lady Wilson glared at him and urged, “Put a little more effort, mince the meat finely and make it tender!”“Yes, Ma’am…” Christopher answered dryly.By evening, the minced meat was done, the eggs were fried, and a large basket of ‘chives’ was washed. All of the ingredients were placed on the cutting board.Lady Wilson made the dumpling fillings herself. First, she mixed the fried eggs and chives with the seasoning for the eggs and chives dumpling. Then, she mixed another bowl of fillings with pork and chives.The rest of the Wilson family started to drool as they watched Lady Wilson make the dumpling fillings. After all, they had been through all kinds of turbulences and misfortunes recently. It was a rare opportunity for them to have such hearty and warm homemade dumplings.After mixing the fillings, Lady Wilson personally taught everyone how to wrap the dumplings. Honestly speaking, their

The Wilson family prepared two kinds of stuffed dumplings, and they made a lot of them. Based on the number of dumplings they had made, it was enough to feed ten adults, but the Wilson family almost managed to finish all the dumplings.They were so full after the meal that they couldn’t even sit up straight.Staring at the 20 to 30 dumplings left on the table, Lady Wilson prompted them while gesturing, “Hey, any of you, hurry and finish all the dumplings. Don’t waste it!”Caressing his round belly, Christopher whined helplessly, “Oh God, I can’t eat anymore, not even one.”Hannah shook her head too and said, “Mom, I can’t eat anymore, I’m so full right now.”Wendy was so full she didn’t even have the strength to talk. Instead, she slumped on the sofa and waved her hand, indicating her refusal.Harold said, “Grandma, why don’t we keep them in the fridge? We can fry them up and make potstickers for breakfast tomorrow.”Suddenly, Lady Wilson donned a wicked smirk on her face. She s

Harold was in agonizing pain at this moment. “I don’t know what’s going on, my stomach hurts so bad…”At this point, Harold felt stronger energy starting to build up inside his body again, and it was several times more intense than the previous one, rushing downward at an extremely fast speed.Immediately afterward, a loud puff sounded, and a stronger stench instantly exhumed throughout the living room.Christopher reflexively looked under Harold’s buttocks and found that a brownish sticky fluid had leaked out. He shrieked loudly, “D*mn it, Harold, you just pooped your pants!”“What?!” Everyone turned toward Harold simultaneously.It was obvious!There was something disgusting leaking from Harold’s butt!Lady Wilson shouted angrily, “D*mn it, you b*stard, this sofa is imported from Italy!”Harold was equally dumbfounded. He blurted innocently, “I… I… I don’t know what happened! My stomach was hurting, and it hurt so bad, I wanted to fart, then…”Wendy asked in bewilderment, “H
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1115
At this moment, the Wilson family had no idea why their stomachs hurt so badly and what was the cause of the severe diarrhea that followed.The narcissus of daffodils was a very strong poison. A very small amount of purified narcissus could be fatal to humans.However, even though the content of the alkaloid in daffodils was relatively small, consuming it in a large volume would trigger significant symptoms of food poisoning, but it would not be life-threatening if the amount was not too much.Regardless, the pain from the food poisoning was definitely not something ordinary people could bear.It not only induced vomiting and diarrhea, but also fever, convulsions, and nervous system disorders.If it was eaten in an unusually large amount, it may even cause shock and death.It was indeed a bit dangerous as everyone in the Wilson family had consumed too much of narcissus. Even Charlie did not expect that they would eat so much when he was drafting his plan.It was often reported i

“Pork? Then you have to ask your mother where she bought it.”Lady Wilson frowned at Hannah and asked in a bitter voice, “Did you go to the black market and buy water-injected pork?”Hannah quickly shook her head. “No! I watched the butcher cut the meat from the pig with my own eyes, there’s absolutely no problem with the pork.”Wendy suggested weakly, “What about the flour? Could it be that something was wrong with the dumpling skin?”Hannah shook her head again. “No, the flour was fine, we ate it in the morning.”If the problem was neither the flour nor the pork, could it be the chives?Hannah gaped in surprise and said, “It must be the chives. Maybe there were pesticide residues on it.”Lady Wilson frowned in disapproval. “No, the chives were freshly cut, that can’t be the problem. Besides, Harold washed them, so he must have washed it all off including the pesticide residues.”Harold said, “Yes! I washed the chives very seriously, I scrubbed every piece of leaf carefully.”

Pausing, Julien then said, "I mostly drink wine and the occasional whiskey.""How much are those, usually?" Raymond asked.Julien thought about it. "If it's table wine, 10,000 to 50,000 USD. For bigger occasions, it'd be something over a hundred thousand."Raymond nodded and pointed at the bottle of Oskian vodka he had bought. "Guess how much that is?"Julein shook his head. "I don't usually drink Oskian alcohol, so I'm not too sure…""Come on," Charlie chuckled. "We're not asking if you know—we're just asking you to take a guess.""Then…" Julien quickly said. "I'm guessing, three thousand?""Three thousand?" Raymond chuckled and shook his head. "That's way too flattering. It's around 7 USD.""Seven bucks?!" Julien exclaimed, and he blurted, "You usually drink something that cheap, Mr. Cole?""Well, not stateside," Raymond smiled. "But I liked it after I ordered one from a diner yesterday. It's cheap, and it has quality."Julien gulped as he stared at his own cup filled to th

Julien flinched and promptly threw his hands up. "No, no, no… please don't say that, Mr. Wade! That's not what I mean—as a son, it's only right that I hope my father lives long and prospers. Why wouldn't I want him to?"Charlie pointed out, "Then why'd you say that I've screwed you over repeatedly?""Oh. I, uh…" Julien wasn't sure how to respond to that, and he groaned unhappily, "I was not being mindful with words. I take that back…" Charlie nodded. "Then, I'll give you another chance.""Huh?" Julien was left confused, and he quickly asked, "Another chance… for what?"Charlie clapped him on the shoulder again, smiling, "We're old friends, aren't we? Why would I screw you over? Anyway, your turn."Julien was left utterly aggrieved as he read through Charlie's intention—that was precisely the definition of screwing him over!If his father knew he had come to Aurous Hill to hang out with these two, especially Biden Cole, he would definitely be removed as heir! And yet, Charlie

Having seen a sliver of the common folk's plight, Julien turned back to the journey at hand.Soon, his MPV arrived at Aurous Hill's Antique Street.As it was closing hours, the place appeared bleak, almost as though it had been completely abandoned. It was only during opening hours and the few hours before closing that the place became most alive anyway.Most of the time, the vendors and employees outnumbered the guests, and during closing hours, it would get very quiet. One wouldn't even find strays here as there weren't scraps around.Still, Julien had no idea what the hell the place was, even as he arrived outside Treasure Measure following the location Charlie had sent.Once he was sure he was at the right place, he called Charlie, immediately sounding respectful and flattering, "I'm here, Mr. Wade. If you don't mind opening the door…""Alright, just hang on," Charlie said and put down the phone while turning to Raymond, who was putting the food on a folding table, "Our frien

The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What

At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav

The cabbie nodded. "Well, Talbot Associates, it is! They're said to be number two."-While Jacob was heading off to consult a law firm, Charlie was calling Julien Rothschild over the phone.The manchild had just had room service and was lounging on the couch, fiddling with his phone.After visiting the kennels with Charlie, he had been idling his days away at the hotel, waiting for Salem and his son to post that video of them being out at sea.Once that was done, Julien would return to the States, once more the heir apparent of the Rothschilds. Still, it was boring to simply lounge around in the hotel, and he would really like to strengthen his ties with Charlie.However, he was also afraid of being too forward as Charlie could be intimidating, and he could upset him—just like a fan eager to get close to their idol but was still worried about their idol getting disgusted with them.As such, he never expected Charlie to call him, and he immediately answered eagerly, "Good even

Pausing, Mr. Bay continued, "If they're not that upset with the idea, I'll bang my gavel and make the call so that you can at least stay as a vice president."If they keep refusing, I just have to promote Mr. Zonda to become a vice president while you take over his position of head-of-department as insurance. What do you think?"Jacob certainly wouldn't protest the idea of insurance, especially when he thought he would be forced to leave the Calligraphy and Painting Association altogether earlier. He quickly exclaimed gratefully, "Thank you so much, Mr. Bay!"Mr. Bay chuckled, clearly relieved as well. "Come on, Jacob—you don't have to be so formal. I'm like a brother to you! Don't you think that's what I should be doing?"Jacob laughed earnestly for once. "Well, brother, I'm honestly relieved…" He trailed off but soon pressed on, "But I have to ask, won't the other members have things to say even if you manage to persuade the other vice presidents? What if they remain unhappy?

There were times when making a person despair to some extent could be a people-strategy.For example, when your distant acquaintance asked for a ten grand loan but you could only lend him one, you couldn't tell him directly that. It would make them think you were being insincere.The better option would be to tell them how you were worse off than they were and had a debt yourself, or that some other friend had borrowed money for three years and never repaid it.And when that mere acquaintance was in despair, you could tell them that if it was really important, you could lend them one thousand with a credit card loan.That way, while the mere acquaintance wouldn't exactly be awash with gratitude, they at least wouldn't complain about your lack of sincerity.That was exactly what Mr. Bay was doing.He had no intention of offending Jacob, but he also couldn't directly tell him to give up on claiming the position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Otherwise, Ja

Jacob felt absolutely horrible just then, and he certainly did not expect Don Albert to give him the cold shoulder.If he had known, he would have just stayed content with the 200 thousand he had made and enjoyed his trip to Dubai! If he had, the Calligraphy and Painting Association wouldn't have found out about the bronze sculpture plot, and Don Albert would still be on friendly terms with him.Absolutely regretting everything, Jacob got in the backseat of the cab, tears of grief almost welling up and out of his eyes.Then, noticing that the cabbie was quietly watching him from the rearview mirror, he turned his face aside, whipped out his phone, and called Mr. Bay.As soon as Mr. Bay answered, he asked, "How did things go over there? Have you sorted out Zachary Evans yet?"He was waiting for Jacob to ask Don Albert for help so that the latter would pressure Zachary into posting a statement retracting his previous claims.However, Jacob knew full well that there was no hope for
