The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1613
Charlie was not overly wary of Stephen, because based on his observation, he could tell that Stephen had no ill will toward him. In fact, it was all thanks to Stephen’s secret protection that he was able to grow up safely in Aurous Hill. Stephen had had the chance to harm him. If he had indeed held evil intentions toward him, he would have done it the first time he had a chance to, but he hadn’t.Therefore, Charlie had absolute trust in Stephen. He was also one of the few people that Charlie trusted. Thus, he was going to contact Stephen for a meetup to learn some details about the past.At this moment, Stephen was at the Wade Organization.In the executive conference room of the company, all the members of the Wade family were gathered there for the family meeting.The one who chaired the meeting was Jeremiah Wade, Charlie’s grandfather, and also the patriarch of the Wade family.Nearly twenty of the Wade family members were sitting rigidly upright in the conference room.At t

Upon hearing Jeremiah’s remarks, all the Wade family members looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling as though he was talking about a fairytale rather than a statement.By comparison, the Schulz family’s net worth was about 20% higher than the Wade family, which wasn’t very significant at first glance.However, because the actual amount of net worth of these two families was so large, the 20% difference in monetary value was incredibly huge.If the Wade family wanted to overtake the Schulz family, their assets would have to increase by at least several hundred billion.The Schulz family was already stronger than the Wade family in terms of volume, and naturally, they were growing faster than the Wade family. Consequently, the Schulz family was slowly widening the gap with the Wade family.It was not only difficult to rise against the current and catch up with the Schulz family, but it almost sounded like a fantasy.Jeremiah looked at the silent crowd and sighed. “Twenty ye

As soon as Jeremiah said this, the entire audience gaped in astonishment!Curtis’s son... wasn’t that Charlie?!In reality, back when Jeremiah had asked Stephen to purchase the Emgrand Group in Aurous Hill and give it to Charlie, even extending an invitation to welcome Charlie back to the family, everyone knew that Charlie was still alive.Apart from Jeremiah, everyone else was very wary of Charlie and even repelled him, fearing that he would return to Eastcliff and compete with them for the Wade family’s inheritance and power.Fortunately, Charlie had refused Stephen’s request and did not return to the Wade family, so everyone had been relieved and gradually put their guards down.However, even if Charlie decided not to return, everyone was still very agitated by the fact that Jeremiah had spent hundreds of billions on buying him the Emgrand Group.Although the Wade family’s assets exceeded a trillion dollars, they were a very large family.Jeremiah had four sons and two daught

Even Jeremiah was dumbfounded.Stephen started in a cold voice, “I’ve never thought about getting Mr. Charlie back to Eastcliff. I’m just telling you objectively that Mr. Charlie is no less inferior to his father, who was so influential in Eastcliff back in those days. As for the marriage arrangement, it was Lord Wade who proposed it, not me!”“Moreover, calm down. I can assure you that Mr. Charlie has no intention of coming back at all. With my understanding of him, even if I kneel and beg him, he will not come back, let alone abandon his wife to marry the Schulz family’s descendant!”Everyone heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that.He didn’t want to come back? That would be awesome!Jeremiah’s eyes narrowed. After pondering for a while, he said seriously, “Actually, I think if Charlie comes back, he might really succeed in marrying Sophie.”“Impossible!” Clayton blurted, “The Schulz family is so prestigious and prominent, they might not even be interested in Felix, who is so

Just as the Wade family members had their own ax to grind and were thinking of a reason they should use to convince Jeremiah to give up this idea, Jeremiah slapped the table and said excitedly, “Well, if Charlie agrees to this arrangement, I think it can be done!”Clayton hurriedly said, “Father, Charlie is already married! Do you think the Schulz family would marry their precious daughter to a man who has been married before? Even if Charlie gets divorced, he’ll bear the title of a divorcee!”Jeremiah said indifferently, “As long as he has invincible charm, no one can resist him even if he is a three-time divorcee or is still married. Did you know how many girls from wealthy families in Eastcliff were willing to become Curtis’s mistress even though he was married? They didn’t mind Mrs. Wade’s title as long as they could be with him. That was Curtis’s charm!”Clayton huffed with disappointment in his tone, “Father! Times have changed! The youngsters nowadays are so self-centered and

This was completely unacceptable for all of Charlie’s cousins!At this moment, everyone began to plan a countermeasure out of desperation.Jeremiah, on the other hand, was feeling at ease and delighted. He was absolutely certain that the opportunity for the Wade family to take off and succeed was in Charlie’s hands. This instantly cleared up the doubts that had been plaguing him for the past four years and made him feel extremely relieved.He laughed out loud, stood up, and said in a cheerful voice, “Alright, that’s it for today. Dismissed!”Everyone donned a complex expression, but no one dared to say anything against Jeremiah’s orders. They had their own ax to grind, and most of them had not anticipated Charlie’s high-profile return to the Wade family.After the meeting, as soon as Stephen returned to his office and sat down, he received a call from Charlie.Delighted, he hurriedly answered the call and asked respectfully, “Mr. Charlie, glad to hear from you. What’s the occasio

The Tea Time Room was divided into three sections—the front yard, middle yard, and backyard, all of which were typical antique wooden buildings with a built-in stage inside where people often came to listen to live bands or stand-up comedy.The front and middle yards were open to the public where the members of the teahouse could enjoy the facilities, but the back yard was closed to the public. This was Stephen’s private territory which was extremely confidential.Stephen graciously invited Charlie and Quinn into the private parlor in the backyard.Once inside, Stephen immediately dismissed all the service staff and personally invited Charlie and Quinn to sit down on the sofa and made a pot of tea for them with his precious limited-edition tea set.After serving the fragrant tea to the two of them, Stephen said, unable to conceal his excitement, “Mr. Charlie, I didn’t expect to see you in Eastcliff, let alone with Miss Golding…”Frankly, Stephen had long hoped that Charlie would b

Charlie could just take the Rejuvenating Pill out and give it to Stephen if he wanted to. However, he stated a condition where he would give it to Stephen when he needed it the most to gain Stephen’s trust and reliability.It was not because he had any doubts about Stephen in any way, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with being cautious under any kind of circumstances.With the Rejuvenating Pill as bait, Stephen would definitely be more loyal to him.As expected, upon hearing this, Stephen startled in awestruck and said gratefully, “Mr. Charlie, I’m really glad to hear you say this. I swear, I dedicate my life to you, and I’m willing to go through all kinds of treacherous routes for you!”Stephen was not only a loyal man but also an intelligent one.Although he had no idea what the Rejuvenating Pill was, he was able to get a glimpse of it through Yule’s current condition.First of all, the magical elixir that Charlie had mentioned must be the miracle drug that could cure

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

"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

At this point, Don Albert could very well be Jacob's personal messiah.Even if he did threaten Zachary with calling Charlie persistently, he actually wouldn't dare call Charlie.After all, how would he start explaining that he was involved in a crime? And telling Charlie was basically telling his daughter—what would they think of him after this? Would he ever be able to hold his head high in the family again?As such, his only option now was to ask Don Albert and see if he would help.What he didn't know was that Don Albert was with Charlie, who had already anticipated Jacob's move.When Jacob realized he couldn't stop Zachary, Jacob would find someone who could, and Don Albert was the best man for the job!To no surprise, Don Albert's phone soon started ringing with a call from Jacob.Don Albert didn't answer right away, however, instead turning toward Charlie as he asked gingerly, "So, shall I stick to your script, Master Wade?"Seeing Charlie nod, he pressed on, "Should I

As soon as Jacob sent the voice message, Mr. Bay called.Jacob quickly answered, asking nervously, "How are things over there, Mr. Bay?""How, you ask…?" Mr. Bay sighed in exasperation. "The entire Calligraphy and Painting Association was demanding your dismissal as soon as Zachary Evans posted his statement, thinking that you have no business being the administrative vice president let alone have a place in the association."Even those officials came asking me questions, and you know how they are—gossipers, every last one of them, always finding out about the juicy stuff instantly even if it's really no big deal. The only excuse I have to stop them is that we don't have the facts, but this issue still needs to be taken care of."So, be straight with me. Were you a part of this? If you don't, do you have any definitive evidence that can refute Zachary's claims?""I… Uh…" Jacob stammered, unable to answer.He certainly wanted to say no, but he had no evidence to back himself up.

Jacob bellowed furiously, "Raymond Cole made over 19 million dollars! From my bronze sculpture! Yet you're telling me to refund that 300 thousand too?! You're just fucking with me, aren't you?!""Well, if you don't like it, just do what you like, then," Zachary replied calmly and quickly hung up before Jacob could answer.Jacob was left twitching and shaking endlessly, and there was no telling if it was from rage or fear.Beside him, Elaine quickly asked, "What did Zachary say, dear? Can he get that bronze sculpture back?"Caught by surprise at her question, Jacob flinched, and his phone slipped out of his grasp.As it seemed to hover in the air, he tried to catch it twice but failed, but Elaine managed to grab it.It was then that she noticed that he was sweating all over his face, and she promptly asked, "What's wrong, dear?"Coming to his senses, Jacob's eyes went wide with rage. "Zachary is trying to kill me! He leaked the whole thing to his Twitter page—it's like he's pulli
