The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1501
A man and woman were seated at the table. Regardless of their looks, temperament, and casual home clothing, both of them looked very luxurious and tasteful.The man looked a little haggard and his face and lips looked a little pale. At first glance, it was obvious that he had already been sick for a long time. Moreover, he looked like the kind of person who was terminally ill and on his dying bed.However, the woman next to him was very well maintained and she was very beautiful. Her appearance was similar to Quinn and she looked like she was just in her thirties.Charlie recognized both of them at first glance. This was the Uncle Golding that he had known since his childhood and his wife, Aunt Golding.Just as Charlie recognized who they were, they had both also recognized him immediately!Yule had an extremely shocked expression on his face. His face was already very thin and haggard. At this time, his eyes were wide open and he was trembling as though he wanted to say something

As he spoke, Yule could not help but choke up as he said, “Throughout all these years, I couldn’t find out anything about your whereabouts at all. Therefore, I thought that you were no longer alive…”At this point, Yule was already pursing his lips tightly together but he could not hold back his tears anymore.He endured it for a long time before the tears finally blurred his vision completely. After that, he burst into tears as he said, “Big Brother Wade! If you’re looking down at us from heaven, then look! Your son is back! He’s back! I finally have the face to go and meet you now…”Yule was a little agitated and he continued crying before he started coughing violently a few times. At this time, Rachel who was standing aside wiped the tears away from his face as she carefully patted her husband on her back before she choked and said, “Yule, it’s a happy event that Charlie is finally back. Don’t cry anymore. You should know that your health is not very good now and you cannot get t

Yule pulled Charlie to sit next to him.As soon as they took their seat, he immediately said to Charlie warmly, “Charlie, come, let’s eat first. I hope the food is to your liking. Otherwise, I’ll have them make other dishes for you.”Charlie quickly said, “Uncle Golding, it’s okay. I’ll have what you have.”Yule nodded and started asking Charlie about what he had been doing over the years.Charlie did not have much to hide from the Golding family except for the Apocalyptic Book—the secret that was buried deep in his heart. He basically told them everything else truthfully, including about his life before he turned eighteen, his life experience after eighteen, his acquaintance with Lord Wilson, his marriage to Claire, and his life after marriage.The more Yule and Rachel listened to Charlie’s illustration of his past, the more heartbroken and sorry they were. In their eyes, Charlie was, after all, a direct descendant of the Wade family. Back then, his father was the brightest risin

Charlie knew that Yule was saying this for his own good, but he shook his head lightly and said in an incomparably serious voice, “Uncle Golding, I had only lived with my parents for eight years, which was considerably short, but my blood and soul are their creation. If I cannot avenge them, how can I live up to the blood and soul that they’ve given me?”Rachel had been silent. Upon hearing this, she sighed, her eyes turning red. “Yule, Charlie’s characteristics and temperament resembles Brother Wade very much. Back then, if Brother Wade could tolerate the unjust matters, he wouldn’t have left Eastcliff with his wife and son so resolutely and righteously. You were unable to persuade Brother Wade then and you may not be able to persuade Charlie now.”Yule nodded dejectedly. With a long sigh, he looked at Charlie, then at Quinn, and said, “Charlie, Charlie, you can put off the other matters for a while. If you really do want to make an enemy of the Wade family and make them pay for wha

At this moment, Yule started to cough a few times in discomfort. It took him a while to calm down and he said in a serious tone, “Charlie, you’ve been wandering aimlessly in Aurous Hill for the past ten odd years like a dragon swimming in the shallows. It’s time for you, the true dragon, to return to your rightful place!”Then, he continued regretfully, “The Golding family may not have the strength to let you succeed overnight, but with our support, you'll have a solid backup foundation if you decide to return to the Wade family in the future. With the Golding family’s support, if you want to fight for the Wade family’s inheritance, you’ll have a much higher chance of success!”Charlie felt utterly ashamed after hearing this.He didn’t expect that even though he had left the Wade family and gotten married, Yule and Rachel would insist on fulfilling the marriage agreement that they had agreed upon decades ago and marrying Quinn, the popular actress, to him.The more enthusiastic the

Rachel and Yule were both shocked.Did Charlie just say that he could completely heal Yule’s illness?How…how was that possible?The family had traveled all around the world for a long time to find the best experts and use the best drugs, medical equipment, and treatments for his illness, but none of them could stop Yule’s condition from rapid deterioration.Steve Jobs, Apple’s founder, was also a billionaire who suffered from pancreatic cancer. He received the best treatment in the United States but in the end, he had succumbed to his illness as well.None of the world’s experts believed that there was a chance of recovery for Yule’s cancer. In fact, the vast majority of them believed that he probably had less than a year or probably six months left to live.When Charlie suddenly said that he could cure Yule, it sounded nothing but a fantasy to them.Rachel sighed and said in a serious tone, “Charlie, I know that you must be very concerned about your Uncle Golding, but his cond

Following Rachel’s furious roar, the man with a contemptuous face who seemed to be the leader of the group said coldly, “Rachel, this is my big brother’s house. Do I need to get your permission before coming to his house?”Rachel said with a sullen expression, “Adrian, I’m your brother’s wife, which means half of this house is mine. If you barge in without my permission, this is called forcible trespassing!”Adrian curled his lips into a smirk. He sized Rachel up and said with a scowl, “Oh, Rachel, do you still know that you and my brother are husband and wife? Have you fulfilled your duty as a wife though?”Yule raised to his feet with some effort and reprimanded, “Adrian, how could you talk to your sister-in-law like that? ‘The wife of the eldest brother should be respected as a mother,’ don’t you know that?”“Come again?” Adrian sneered contemptuously. “Brother, don’t forget that she’s an outsider in the Golding family after all. Besides, as the daughter-in-law of the eldest son

Wilhelm smirked smugly. “Hey, Rachel, you have quite a temper. We’re of the same generation in the Golding family, so what if you are older than me? Don’t forget, you’re just a woman who will marry another man sooner or later. When you do, you’ll no longer be a member of the Golding family but a mere outsider, get it?”Charlie opened his mouth, trying to say something, but he held back.After all, this was the Golding family’s internal affairs. As an outsider, he had no right to barge in. He didn’t have a justifiable reason to intervene at this time.In addition, it was still unclear what the main purpose of Adrian and Rogan’s visit was, so he decided to stay back and observe the situation for a while.At this moment, Yule chided angrily, “That’s enough! Be quiet!”His furious roar successfully calmed the crowd down. He turned to Adrian and Rogan and asked in a cold voice, “Adrian, Rogan, I don’t care why you’ve come here, but if you have anything to say, stop beating around the b

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an

That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door

Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6478
Soon, the video of Mick's staged act was uploaded to the online group, and everyone eagerly watched it as soon as it was done uploading.Mick certainly set a new bar with his acting as none of them could see that it was an act.Moreover, everyone could see that the bronze sculpture looked like the real deal, and they might have been swindled if it were them.As such, they couldn't help being impressed as Mick had easily seen through Billy's con, and he was the definition of a pro in that video.No matter how Billy had packaged it, there was no tricking real experts like Mick Crane. Just a quick glance and he had seen through that it was a postmodern replica, matched with a base from the Renaissance era to misdirect and beguile.With that, many fellow antique dealers changed their opinion of Mick.After all, Vintage Deluxe's business had been declining after Mick took over as manager, and people were presuming that his skills were lacking.But now, they were all shown that he had

"Amazing, Mr. Crane!""It's Mr. Crane who shines through, in the end! His eyes see through everything!""I guess Miss Moore made the right choice firing Raymond and appointing Mr. Crane! Mr. Crane is infinitely better!"Mick was immediately thrilled to see them fawning over him, and he laughed, "You flatter me—I'm merely sharing my personal perspective on this. In this trade, anyone who knows would understand how hard it is to get the good stuff in this age of technology.""There are plenty of people who hold ulterior motives and change their tactics knowing that there are always those scheming to get their hands on vintage treasures, so they just have to make it. That is how they started making counterfeits of everything, from scrolls to sculptures to statues, each of them so real just to trick those fools who think they could get rich overnight!""Exactly!" Someone promptly agreed. "There's never a lack of any such fools, and I just happened to meet one. I had this piece of jade

In groups like these, any gossip would immediately spread like wildfire as people share everything here with their other circles.Within minutes of these people's good work, Antique Street was abuzz even as the skies darkened: one of the antique traders had been swindled for 300 thousand, and it was Raymond Cole—the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe at that!Some of them wondered when Raymond had actually returned while others were laughing.He was supposed to be the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe, but he had messed up as well? You had to be kidding!Many were dumbstruck too—how would Raymond survive in Antique Street after losing so much money? It had been so long since such a major scam had been pulled!As such, all the antique dealers were asking one question: how did Raymond Cole get fooled?Meanwhile, Mick didn't leak the security footage right away, instead sending his people out to spread the news in other channels, claiming that Raymond thought he had won big by
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6475
Mick had already clipped the security footage and was waiting for Zachary's word.He had checked the footage repeatedly as well and was only getting more impressed with his masterful acting by the second. He looked just like a maestro, and every detail he mentioned was flawless and showed experience.Zacahry even said that Raymond had truly slipped up with that bronze sculpture, leaving him endlessly thrilled.The proverbial missing piece of the puzzle was here!Hence, calling all the staff he trusted, he told them excitedly, "Spread the word right away—Raymond Cole slipped up, spending 300 thousand on a fake Renaissance-era bronze sculpture!"His staff had no idea of the conspiracy involved, only that Mick had said that someone had tried to sell a counterfeit bronze sculpture but he had seen through it right away and chased him away, only for Raymond to end up buying the fake bronze sculpture soon after.Someone asked, "Mr. Crane, don't you think Raymond Cole bought from the man
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6474
Raymond had said everything he should and shouldn't and with complete sincerity exactly because Billy would never believe it.As Billy just wanted to swindle him, it didn't matter how sincere Raymond was—he wanted the 300 thousand whatever it took. The key here was that Billy had refused a better prospect when told it was possible, and there was evidence that would support Raymond if either he or Zachary realized the truth and came to start trouble.That meant Raymond had nothing to worry about—they could take this to the United Nations but he'd still win this case.Having been in the antique trade for so long, he had seen every form of oddity and was always cautious with people, considering every aspect of any issue.Hence, once he downloaded the security footage to his phone, Raymond decided that he needed to sell the bronze sculpture—not because he was in urgent need of money, but because he realized that there were those who wanted him out of Aurous Hill's Antique Street.Afte
