The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1200
Even Travis, who was sitting at the same table, was shocked and speechless!He was the richest man in Lancaster, and he was not any worse off compared to the Moore family in terms of their net worth.Moreover, he had already reached old age this year, and he could obviously feel that his body and physical health was much worse compared to before.This was irreversible no matter how much money was spent.So, Travis also dreamed to have the opportunity to take a Rejuvenating Pill too. He would not regret it even if he had to give up one-tenth of his assets in exchange for a Rejuvenating Pill.This was because he knew that other than the Rejuvenating Pill, there was no way he would be able to gain back twenty years of his youth even if he was willing to spend several billion dollars for it.The Macau gambling tycoon, Stanley Ho, was very rich. He was extremely wealthy and powerful, but even if he had all that money, he had no way to buy back his youth when he was already over ninety
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1201
In Dylan’s eyes, the Rejuvenating Pill that Charlie had given to Jasmine was just some inconspicuous pills.Even if it was really the Acetum Bezoardicum Pill that had rocket high prices in the Oskian medical profession, the most expensive top-grade Acetum Bezoardicum Pill was probably worth only a few hundred thousand dollars.Moreover, so what if Charlie’s so-called Rejuvenating Pill was indeed the Acetum Bezoardicum Pill?There was still a huge difference between the pill and his ruby necklace which was worth nearly one hundred and thirty million dollars.Therefore, Dylan could not help but feel that he had already defeated Charlie.After Dylan said those words arrogantly, he was originally waiting to receive everyone’s praise. However, he really did not expect everyone to stare at him as though they were looking at a mentally retarded person.They could not really blame him because he was the only person at this birthday banquet who did not know the value of this Rejuvenating

Jasmine naturally had to step up and defend her sweetheart when she saw him getting ridiculed by Dylan.At this moment, Charlie smiled indifferently before he took another Rejuvenating Pill out of his pocket. After that, he laughed as he said, “Look! I have plenty of this. It is naturally impossible for me to take back the Rejuvenating Pill I have already given to Miss Jasmine as a gift. The Rejuvenating Pill that I am going to auction now is this one!”With that, Charlie stood up before he spoke to everyone around him, “I believe all of you already know what the Rejuvenating Pill is. I will not give any further introduction to the Rejuvenating Pill. Instead, I will simply start the auction right now.”When everyone at the scene heard that Charlie was really going to auction the Rejuvenating Pill, they had an incredulous look on their faces.This was a magical drug that they would never be able to obtain elsewhere. Charlie had never agreed to sell this Rejuvenating Pill before, so

Initially, Dylan thought that he would be the ultimate winner. He was absolutely certain that no one would be willing to buy this so-called Rejuvenating Pill for 150 million dollars, but he was terribly wrong. He didn’t expect Travis Lane to give him a slap to the face with his actions.He turned and glanced at Travis, astoundment and shock written all over his face as he asked, “Mr. Lane, what do you mean?”Travis knew that Dylan came from an impressive background, but the Rejuvenating Pill was too tempting for him to own even if he had to offend the Koch family by doing so.Who would miss this precious chance of getting younger by 20 years old?!Even the Gods could not stop Travis from bidding for the pill, let alone a mere Dylan Koch.He looked back at Dylan and said flatly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Koch. I’ve longed for Master Wade’s miraculous Rejuvenating Pill for a long time. Now that the precious chance is right in front of my eyes, I cannot let it slip from my hand. Please forgive

“270 million!”“280 million!”“290 million!”Graham immediately raised his hand again and shouted, “300 million!”The bidding was proceeding intensely. Someone would raise the price as soon as the other person finished his bidding.They increased the bidding price of 10 million at a time continuously in order to grab the Rejuvenating Pill.Soon, the whole scene had become very lively and chaotic. Even people with a net worth of only about 1 billion joined in the bandwagon and increased the bidding price because everyone knew that money was valuable, but longevity was even more expensive.Dylan felt that every time someone bid a price, it was a slap to his face.He had never been so embarrassed in his life.However, this was just the beginning.He was in a deep mess now, and he was wondering how he would walk out of here without embarrassing himself further.Did he really have to swallow the ruby necklace?At this moment, the bid was still ongoing, and it was very happening.
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1205
After Zeke bid 1.1 billion, Graham felt that he should raise the bar too, otherwise, he would lose this precious chance to obtain the Rejuvenating Pill. Thus, he gritted his teeth and said, “Since Mr. White has already bid 1.1 billion, I offer 1.2 billion.”Travis didn’t mind the competition though. He was richer than Graham and Zeke combined, hence, it didn’t make much difference to him even if it was 1.2 or 1.5 billion. He was determined to win the Rejuvenating Pill, so he said flatly, “If so, I’ll go straight to 2 billion.”The hall was rocked by the echoing sound of the audiences’ gawking.The auction price had increased from 1.2 billion to 2 billion! This was simply the most incredible and the most expensive auction anyone had ever seen.What was it like to have 2 billion dollars? If your monthly allowance was 10 million, you would have the same amount of allowance every month for 17 years.If you deposited 2 billion into the bank with an annual interest rate of 5%, your annu

Travis didn’t dare to take the Rejuvenating Pill and hurriedly said, “Master Wade, I haven’t paid the money yet, so I won’t dare to take the pill from you. I’ll call my company’s financial department and transfer the money to your account right away.”Charlie nodded with a smile. He then took out his card and passed it to Travis. “This is my card, please transfer the money into this account.”Dylan was taken aback when he glimpsed the card. That was the exclusive black card of Citibank, wasn’t it?!There were no more than five people in the country who owned that card.Moreover, Citibank provided very strong privacy protection for their exclusive black card members. Who was this Charlie and where had he come from? How could he have this card?!At this moment, Charlie suddenly looked at Dylan and said with a coy smile, “Mr. Koch, your necklace is worth 20 million dollars while my Rejuvenating Pill is worth 2 billion. You don’t need me to tell you whose item is more expensive, right
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1207
Dylan was extremely regretful right now. He shouldn’t have proposed such a stupid bet with Charlie to see who had the more expensive gift.Now, he actually had to do a performance where he would swallow a ruby necklace. He had to pay a double cost!Isaac was still staring at him, so he didn’t dare to bluff his way out of it. Hence, he ground his teeth and blurted, “Okay, I, Dylan Koch, am willing to admit defeat!”He looked at Jasmine and said in a rather remorseful tone, “Miss Jasmine, please lend me the ruby necklace.”Jasmine frowned in great dismay when she heard his request.‘What do you mean by lending it to you? Will you give it back to me after using it?’Feeling disgusted and irritated, she hurriedly handed the gift box to him and said in a very serious tone, “Mr. Koch, you can keep the present.”It was then that Dylan realized that he had misspoken. He had to swallow the ruby necklace, which meant the only way the necklace could come out of his body was by pooping it o

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
