The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 182
”Charlie, is this… did the White family really give this villa to you?” Jacob asked Charlie in surprise when he finally regained his senses.“Yes, dad,” Charlie replied as he smiled.“This… you…” Jacob stuttered. He felt as though he was still dreaming.Claire hurried over to her father before she said, “Dad, why don’t you sit down and rest for a while? Since Mr. White has already explained the situation to everyone, everyone should know clearly now that this villa rightfully belongs to Charlie.”Claire specifically emphasized the words ‘rightfully belongs’ because she wanted her relatives to hear her loud and clear.Hannah held her hand against her chest in disbelief before she muttered, “The White family must be really insane! If they wanted to give this villa to someone else, why didn’t they give it to me instead?”Hannah was not the only one in disbelief because the rest of them were also very shocked at this time. In fact, Harold was extremely jealous of Charlie.He could n

When Charlie saw that Claire was panicking, he smiled before assuring her. “My dear wife, don’t worry about the villa. Mr. White will never come and cause any trouble because of this villa.”Jacob continued shaking his head. “No. Last time when you helped the Quinton family with their Feng Shui problem, you already spent one hundred million dollars of their money just to bid on the clamshell. Now, the White family is actually giving you a villa just to thank you! These two families are both extremely famous and prestigious in Aurous Hill. I am afraid that they will regret their decision in the future, and sooner or later, they will come and demand that you give everything back to them!”Jacob continued speaking, “You should return the villa to the White family as soon as possible. Otherwise, I am afraid that all of us are doomed if they try to settle the score with us!”At this time, Charlie’s mother-in-law suddenly blurted out, “What do you mean?! Why should we return the villa to

Elaine felt very triumphant as she shook the jade bracelet on her hand. “I have already sent a text message to some of my friends. Many of them are already jealous of me because of this jade bracelet, and now, I even have a big and luxurious villa!”Charlie looked at the jade bracelet on his mother-in-law’s hand. In actual fact, that was the bracelet that Graham had given to him, and he had been planning on giving it to Claire in the first place. However, who would have expected that Elaine would take it for herself instead.***At the White family mansion.Gerald was standing in the hall as he reported what he had just found out to his father over the phone.After he was done speaking, Gerald hesitated for a moment before he raised his head and said, “Dad, is uncle confused? He did not even stay a single day in that villa, but he did not hesitate at all to give it to Charlie! You have to persuade him to take it back from Charlie!”Gerald’s father had a solemn expression on his f

As Lady Wilson was dreaming about moving into the villa at Thompson First, Christopher suddenly rubbed his hands and sighed before he said, “Mom, I am planning to send someone to invite Loreen’s family to come over as our guests. After that, I am hoping to propose to the Thomas family for Loreen and Harold to be married. What do you think about my suggestion?”“The Thomas family…” Lady Wilson sighed as she replied, “Previously, Harold left Loreen behind and ran away by himself! I believe that Loreen does not have a good impression of him.”At this time, Christopher said, “I think that something like that is actually harmless. Since both of our families are business partners, I believe that the Thomas family will be more focused on the future development prospects if our children were to get married. Even though the Wilson family cannot be compared to the Thomas family, we have the Emgrand Group to support us. Moreover, there are still a lot of things that we could do to enhance the f

When Jacob saw that everyone was waiting for his family, he quickly lowered his head as he greeted his mother and elder brother with a smile on his face.Christopher pretended not to hear him and simply ignored him without saying anything at all.Lady Wilson nodded lightly.Jacob quickly asked, “Mom, why did you ask us to come over here today? Is anything the matter?”“I want to ask you something. Do you own one of the villas in Thompson First?” Lady Wilson asked coldly.At this time, Jacob quickly replied, “Yes, mom. Mr. White gave the villa to Charlie because he gave him some advice regarding some Feng Shui matters.”“Feng Shui advice?” Harold snorted before he said, “If Charlie really got the villa because he simply gave someone some Feng Shui advice, everyone in the Wilson family should just quit their jobs and work as Feng Shui masters, then!”Everyone in the living room snorted upon hearing this.Jacob could only force a laugh when he heard his relatives ridiculing him.

Jacob was taken aback, and he quickly replied, “Mom, I am sorry, but the White family gave the villa to Charlie, not to me.”Lady Wilson started to lose her patience at this time, and she could not even be bothered to hide her intentions anymore. Upon hearing that, she said, “Charlie is the son-in-law of the Wilson family! Therefore, the villa that the White family gave to Charlie also belongs to the Wilson family! As the head of the Wilson family, don’t you think that I have the right to live in that villa?”Right then, Charlie could not help but sneer at the old lady’s words. He had not said anything before this because he had already expected nothing good would come out of this family gathering today.It turned out that the old lady was trying to take the villa away from him.When Jacob finally understood what his mother really wanted from him, he started sweating profusely and stammering as he looked at Charlie with a face filled with embarrassment.Christopher suddenly spoke

In regards to his status as the son-in-law of the Wilson family, this group of people had never treated him as one of them.They did not even bother about Charlie at all.Jacob was the only one who would put up with their attitude simply because he was affectionate and cared about family ties.Moreover, Claire had always been bullied. The entire Wilson family had always despised Claire because of her position as the director of Emgrand Group.Therefore, the Wilson family had always been trampling all over his family.They had always been bullied!Charlie had always turned the other way for his wife’s sake. He had endured their bullying for a long time, but he really did not expect this group of people to be so shameless. He would never have expected them to try and snatch his villa away from him!“Charlie, how dare you talk to grandma in that manner?” Harold yelled angrily at Charlie. “I have to teach you a lesson today!”“Do you really think that is up to you?” Charlie snorted

In actual fact, Christopher had already carefully planned out everything with Lady Wilson last night.Moreover, he had intentionally invited all the respected elders in the Wilson family to attend the family gathering today.Christopher initially thought that Jacob would voluntarily hand over the villa if they forced him to do so.He had also planned to force Jacob to hand the villa over by threatening him if he refused to do so.Jacob had always been very timid, and he would always shiver in fear whenever his mother reprimanded him. Therefore, Christopher was confident that Jacob would certainly hand the villa over to Lady Wilson if she demanded him to do so.Besides, Christopher had no respect for Claire at all. She was a married woman, thus, she did not have any right to say anything.Moreover, she was even married to a piece of trash!As for Charlie, he could not even be bothered about him.He was just a mere son-in-law of the Wilson family who had no status at all, and he

With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j

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

"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
