After getting criticized repeatedly by Quinn, Charlie felt a little ashamed, and he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.So, he coughed slightly and said apologetically, “Nana, I am indeed responsible for this matter. I sincerely want to apologize to you and Uncle Golding…”“Apologize?” Quinn spoke angrily, “Since you want to apologize, even if you don’t regard my father as your elder, you should also apologize to my father face to face because he had already been looking for you for so many years! No! You even refused to allow me to tell my father that I’ve already found you. What do you mean by that?!”Charlie looked at the angry expression on her face and he said seriously, “Nana, just think about it for yourself. I have been living at the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute for ten years, and Uncle Golding came to Aurous Hill to look for me several times during that period. Still, he always failed to find me. Why is that so? It must be because someone does not want Uncle Golding

Therefore, after hearing that Yule was suffering from pancreatic cancer and that his physical condition was already deteriorating, he immediately decided that he would have to save his life!So, he immediately told Quinn, “Why don’t we do this, then? After we are done discussing the endorsement contract, you can return to Eastcliff first. I will secretly come and visit Uncle Golding in a few days. When that time comes, I will have my own remedy to cure his illness!”Quinn was dumbfounded, and she asked, “What kind of cure do you have that would be able to remedy my father’s terminal illness? Doctors from all over the world told me that his terminal illness cannot be cured at all…”Charlie replied seriously, “It is not convenient for me to disclose anything to you for the time being. However, you do not have to worry. Since I’ve said it myself, I will definitely honor my promise!”Charlie had an elixir in his hand.The medicine that he had refined the first time, that could even cu

Quinn’s mood improved slightly after hearing Charlie’s affirmative reply.She finally stopped crying and carefully wiped the remaining tears off her face with her fingers. After that, she laughed at herself as she said, “Ahh! Brother Charlie, I’ve made a fool out of myself in front of you. To be honest, I have not cried for many years. As a result, after my dad fell ill, it seems as though I have reverted back to the young child I used to be. I simply cannot stop my tears from flowing at times. I am absolutely hopeless.”Charlie smiled slightly before comforting her, “Don’t think that way. It is only natural for everyone to have their own emotions and desires anyway. If a person can laugh, a person will also cry. If a person can be happy, a person can also be sad. So, there is nothing hopeless about you at all.”Quinn nodded softly as she asked, “Brother Charlie, do you still shed tears even now?”Charlie smiled wryly before he said, “I must have shed too many tears when I was eigh

Quinn had mixed feelings, and she looked into his eyes as she asked angrily, “Aren’t you afraid that I will tell her that I am your rightful fiancée and that she is the third party in our relationship?”Charlie felt a little embarrassed and he said, “That is the reason why I have an additional request.”Quinn snorted before she said angrily, “You want me to hide the relationship between you and me from your wife, right?”Charlie replied, “She has always thought that I was an orphan and she does not know anything about my identity or family background at all. I do not want her to find out about it.”Quinn asked incomprehensibly, “She is your wife. Aren’t you going to tell her about your true identity at least? Do you intend to continue hiding it from her?”Charlie replied, “It is not that I do not want to tell her about it because I want to hide it from her. However, the time is not right. I will talk to her about it when the time is right.”Quinn wrinkled her nose and said, “I wa

Charlie was taken aback by Quinn’s words.Marrying a divorcee? Was she talking about him?!This young Golding girl was too silly, right? It was just a verbal agreement made between their parents when they were still young. What era was it now? Who would still take this kind of thing so seriously?She was young, beautiful, cold, and arrogant. She looked like the kind of girl who definitely had her own ideas and plans. So, why was her thinking so conservative?As he thought about this, Charlie could not help but say, “Nana, you really should not take everything that happened between the both of us when we were still young so seriously. You should not take things too hard and miss out on your own happiness!”Quinn replied earnestly, “Charlie! You are truly a bad man with no conscience at all. I have already been waiting for you for more than ten years, and you are actually asking me not to take it seriously? Do you believe that I will hold a press conference tomorrow to make a public

As soon as he arrived at the office door, he bumped into his childhood friend, Stephanie, who had just stepped out of the office. When she saw Charlie, she said happily, “Brother Charlie, why are you here?”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “I came to see Mrs. Lewis about some matters. Is she here?”“Yes, she’s here.” Stephanie smiled before she came up and held Charlie’s arm as she said affectionately, “Brother Charlie, you did not come by the orphanage for quite some time. I’ve missed you!”Charlie smiled and said, “Why don’t you call me if you miss me?”“I was afraid that you would be busy!” Stephanie replied in her low and sweet voice. “I did not want to cause any disruptions to your business!”Charlie replied, “Okay. I will treat you to dinner one day. You can go and get busy first. I will go in and look for Mrs. Lewis.”Stephani replied, “Alright, Brother Charlie. You can go and look for Mrs. Lewis first. I will go to the kitchen and see if they have already begun preparing

The expression on Mrs. Lewis’s face suddenly changed because of Charlie’s question!She started panicking all of a sudden!She would never have dreamt that Charlie would ask her this question.So, she panicked and said, “This… this… I have never heard of this matter before. If someone truly came here looking for you, we would definitely not hide or conceal anything. Do you think that there is some misunderstanding in this matter?”Charlie shook his head and said, “No, it cannot be a misunderstanding. Deep down in my heart, I also cannot accept the explanation that this was all just a misunderstanding.”As he spoke, Charlie had a pious expression on his face as he said, “Mrs. Lewis, the reason why I came to you is not to pin the blame on anyone. After all, no matter what it is, you were the one who saved my life and raised me for ten years. Even if there is something that you have been hiding from me, I will never hate you.”Mrs. Lewis felt extremely ashamed when she heard this.
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1386
”Yes!” Mrs. Lewis nodded before she cried and said, “Back then, I was not stationed in Aurous Hill, but I was arranged to work at Raventon instead. One night, the Wade family’s steward, Mr. Thompson, sent someone to urgently bring me from Raventon to Aurous Hill. After that, he arranged for me and someone else from the Wade family to take over this orphanage. After a few days, we replaced all of the staff in the entire orphanage with members of the Wade family. After all the necessary arrangements had been made, I found you under Mr. Thompson’s instructions and brought you to this orphanage…”Charlie was extremely shocked!This was the only thing he had heard since he was a child that had left him in utter disbelief!He had entered the orphanage at the age of eight and had lived here for ten years. However, he was only finding out now that all of the employees in the orphanage were people from the Wade family?!Could it be that he had been ignorantly spending his entire childhood a

"Invest?!"Billy was left dumbstruck at the term.What even was this fool up to? This definitely wasn't in the script! What about the questions he was supposed to ask? It was like sitting for a grade-schooler test and suddenly being hit with a bar exam!In the car, Jacob blurted out, "What the hell is that bastard thinking? Is he really going to pay 250 thousand?!"Zachary pursed his lips. "Maybe he's just throwing us bait. Think about it—if we took the deal, we'd have to leave a contact number.""After that, he would trick us and say he sold it for ten million and lure us in for the five million. We'd definitely show up, wouldn't we? Once we came, it might turn out that he has called the cops and would even produce\ the bronze sculpture as evidence. Wouldn't we be just shooting ourselves in the foot?"Jacob was left in misery, his face contorting as he pouted, "But you said the cops wouldn't get involved…"Zachary rolled his eyes, "Yes, they wouldn't most of the time since that

However, neither Zachary nor Jacob expected Raymond to confuse them further as he asked Billy, "If you can afford to wait, you can leave the bronze sculpture with me as a consignment. I'll only take 10% off the sales while you get the rest—how about that?"Jacob was stunned and asked Zachary, "What the hell is he up to? Did he get too deep into character?"Zachary shook his head. "I don't get it either… is he trying to keep the bronze sculpture to use as evidence against us?"Jacob frowned. "I thought you said there was a gentleman agreement in this business, and the cops won't really care anyway?"Zachary snorted. "He said he would keep it as a consignment, meaning that he won't spend a dime. What if he told all the antique dealers instead of going to the cops? He would prove that he's sharp, making a name for himself… and what can we do? Do we take back the bronze sculpture? Even if we do, can we really ask for it?'"Fuck!" Jacob swore. "Then what are we waiting for? Tell Billy

In Treasure Measure, even Billy was having a hard time understanding what was going on.Before he came, Zachary made it very clear that he was here to dupe Raymond Cole, and he had come.As such, his job was now to claim that this bronze sculpture which was made in the last century was actually from the Renaissance era and then sell it to Raymond at a cutthroat price.But now, Raymond himself was saying that it was medieval? What was that supposed to mean?Even as he was left confused, he blurted out, "Sir, if you say it's from medieval times… then how much is it worth?"Raymond thought about it and said, "It's quite an unpopular item, but it's not to say that no one would buy it or that no one likes it. The main issue is that there were plenty of wars at that time, and most bronze would be used for weapons. Copper production would be low with rationing as well, so bronze tools were naturally rare for civilians.""Gilding is common for better quality items, and from the northern

Zachary couldn't help pointing at the screen and snapping, "Fucking loser! The more you feel pressed, the less you should be nervous! What are you thinking?! You're falling right under that bastard's trap!"Jacob was frustrated too, growling through his teeth, "Shit! I didn't think that bastard was a sly old fox. Fucking hell!"He then sighed, shaking his head. "Forget it, Zachary—I'm going home to pack my shit, and I'll depart for Dubai first thing tomorrow. Just handle that bronze sculpture for me and wire the money over."As he was about to get off, Zachary sighed in exasperation and apologetically said, "Sorry, Mr. Wilson… but it's fine! Even if this plan screwed up, just let me cook up another plan to destroy Raymond Cole!"Jacob ignored him as he strode out of the car, but that was when Raymond spoke audibly from Zachary's phone, "You can calm down. I'm not accusing you of lying to me. I just think that it's not Renaissance… Rather, it's medieval.""E-Early medieval…?" Billy

In Treasure Measure, Raymond unwrapped the red cloth around the bronze sculpture in front of Billy and the camera.There was a brief flash of surprise on his face, and it was soon gone.Still, he picked up the bronze sculpture, fiddling with it as he asked, "Do you know where it's from?""Yeah," Billy nodded. "A Renaissance-era sculpture. I think the base makes it obvious."Raymond looked up at him and asked in curiosity, "Are you sure about that?"Billy, presuming that Raymond had already noticed a catch, quickly said, "Well, the old man had an expert check it, and the expert said it was immediately obvious! To be honest, I want to sell it because the old man just passed away—gotta sell this baby before my brother goes for a garage sale."He had certainly added more details to the script, and Raymond nodded as he said nonchalantly, "But it doesn't look Renaissance to me. Sculptures from that era—be it the craftsmanship or the unique attributes? It's quite different from this one

In the antique trade, items that raised eyebrows would only be shown in the evenings—when various shops were about to close.That was certainly the case in Antique Street, as most items arriving in the evening were either freshly excavated, stolen, or forgery used to dupe unsuspecting victims.Even if Raymond had started his career abroad, he had learned every last unspoken rule during his earlier stint in Aurous Hill.Seeing the wariness on Billy's face and the way he was holding something in his arms, Raymond knew right away that what he carried wasn't legal.Still, the antique trade was no different here than it was abroad.Tomb raiding, forgery, or adding some touch-ups that increased the value of an item—everyone across the globe pretty much played the same tricks, and Raymond had his fair share of experience.Still, he did not let his wariness show, instead grinning, "Yes, of course. Come on in—let's talk inside!"And with that, he quickly led Billy inside.Meanwhile, bot

"Five hundred grand?"Mick chuckled. "Well, the sculpture looks Renaissance, and the craftsmanship as well as the material are all ideal. It would sell for up to two million in an auction, while established antique traders like us could offer up to a million. So, why the lowball?"Bill sighed. "I won't lie—it belonged to my old man, who just croaked this afternoon. But you see, he left a will stating that every antique in the house would be given to my brother… Since he's playing favorites, I thought I had to get something for myself.""That's why I quietly sneaked this baby out without anyone else knowing and am trying to sell it quickly to change my own circumstances. You don't have to tell me how many millions it's worth—I'm not that greedy. Give me five hundred grand, and it's yours."Mick shrugged as he shot back, "If it's as you say and your old man intended for your brother to have it, the fact that you sneaked it out here makes this theft. Do you think I'd buy stolen proper

It was half past six, and the skies were darkening when a figure hurried into Antique Street, heading straight toward the center—to Vintage Deluxe.Mick Crane, the manager, was holding the fort with some of his employees, and there were some guests window shopping there as well. As Mick asked the employees to assist the guests, he waited anxiously for Billy—Zachary's henchman.Nonetheless, a certain figure rushed inside within minutes, asking eagerly as he entered, "Is the manager in? Do you still buy antiques?""Yes, and yes!" Mick exclaimed as he approached Billy enthusiastically, asking, "May I ask what you're planning to sell?"Billy looked around before sneakily holding up a parcel wrapped in red cloth, carefully lifting a corner to reveal an edge so that Mick could see.Then, he promptly lowered the cloth again, whispering, "This is the good stuff. I'm just not sure if you have the money to buy it."Mick grinned. "What are you saying? If it's something Vintage Deluxe coul

Jacob chuckled. "Can't tell you right now. But I will once it's done.""Well, have you decided when we're going to Dubai?" Elaine quickly pressed.Jacob said, "I'd have to wait until tonight to see if this deal works, but we're leaving first thing tomorrow. I'll get the tickets first, and we will be staying at the Burj Al-Arab that I told you about. People are always saying how amazing it is on the internet every day, seeing how luxurious the seven-star hotel is, but I'll be the judge of that."Elaine was overjoyed to hear that. "That's amazing! And I was just thinking we can't go sooner! Go about your business, then. I'll pack our luggage right away."Jacob chuckled smugly. "Don't pack so much, though. Just stick to the necessities, since we can get the rest over there!""Alright!" Elaine exclaimed, beside herself in excitement. "Alright, you hurry up and get your thing done over there. I'll start packing now!"After hanging up, Elaine called Charlie, who was in Champs Elys Reso
