The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1380
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.

”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

Mrs. Lewis was actually right.Charlie had undergone tremendous changes since he was a child. He had experienced the best days in the world, but he had also experienced the hardest days too. He had already learned not to take things to heart, and he would not be affected by any tragedy outside.Even if he did not get married to Claire and even if he was still working on the construction site now, he would not be dissatisfied with life. This was because Charlie felt that after the death of his parents, if he worked hard to live and survive, this would be the greatest comfort to them.As for money and status, he had already put it all behind him.He had suffered a lot of humiliation and ridicule after getting married to Claire, but he had never once thought about going back to the Wade family to ask for their help.He could even calmly accept it when the Wilson family repeatedly trampled all over his dignity over the years.Three years of incomparable humiliation passed by just l

Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in

Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the

Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan

The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th

It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m

Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their

Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6535
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom

"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
