“I heard from my subordinates in Japan that there had been many successive criminal cases in Tokyo within these two days,” replied Issac. “They seem to be related to foreign forces. As a result, Tokyo has tightened customs and landing procedures for private jets. If you want to leave Japan, Osaka seems to be the only viable choice. Other airports don’t allow takeoffs.”Charlie finally understood the current situation after he heard that.The tight control in Tokyo had to be related to the Schulz family planning to destroy Matsumoto Yoshito.In fact, after some careful thought, Charlie was able to comprehend their intentions.Take the Tokyo police department as an example. If someone were to violate the law in Tokyo, the perpetrator would surely be punished through the normal legal means.However, if a group of foreigners suddenly popped up in Tokyo, threatening the lynching of citizens, saying that the methods used were brutal and inhumane, no country’s security department would e

After breakfast, Charlie, who was idling, was dragged by Nanako into her boudoir.It was the same scenario as when they were in Kyoto. Charlie was invited to sit on the tatami mat in her boudoir, where a plate of incense was burned, and a cup of Japanese matcha was prepared.After that, she turned to Charlie. “Charlie-kun, I’d like to take a look at the financial statements and detailed information about my family’s business to familiarize myself with the operations as soon as possible. Please let me know if it bores you in any way.”Charlie replied casually, “Don’t worry about me. I’m good. You should get to work. I’ll just be on my phone.”In actual fact, Charlie disliked spending too much time on his phone. He was unlike current youngsters, always glued to technologies and their devices.He was only browsing through his phone to read up on Tokyo’s news in hopes of getting some useful information about the situation.Nanako, who was by his side, leaned over in front of the book

Seeing how the old master pitied Curtis Wade, Clayton retorted, dissatisfied. "Father, Curtis has left us for so many years. Please stop bringing him up. Besides, we are all responsible as to why Curtis left us. Basically, the entire Eastcliff was involved in one way or another. It wasn't something that we could control."Caleb agreed and chimed in, "Yes, father. Isn't this supposed to be about Jaime and Sophie? How did this suddenly turn into a talk about Curtis?"Old master sighed. "Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's get down to business. So, to sum up, the Schulz family screwed up their venture to Japan. The upcoming events are not looking good for them; hence this is a perfect opportunity to make our move and catch up to them! What do you think?"Everyone glanced at each other excitedly. Clayton nodded in agreement. "You're right, Father. I, too, think that this is a great opportunity for us!""Our shipping business started out a little later than the Schulz family

After hearing the old master's words, Clayton admitted in embarrassment, "Father, you've previously talked about having an arranged marriage with Schulz family. You wanted Sophie as Wade family's daughter-in-law, but you did not select a suitable groom."Jeremiah chipped in, "Didn't we agree on it last time? The son of Curtis is the best candidate.""But Stephen previously mentioned that Curtis' son did not want to come back to the family. I think he might even hate us," replied Clayton.Jeremiah waved his hand. "It's not up to you or me to determine whether or not the kid hates us."Caleb, who was by his side, quickly asked, "Father, are you saying you'd want to look for Curtis' son and ask him to return to the family?"Jeremiah nodded. "Indeed. It's on my mind, but I'm unsure how I should persuade him."Clayton suddenly felt threatened, tremendous pressure bearing down on him. He quickly interjected, "Father, Curtis' son has been away from home for so many years! He is uncontro

Clayton was extraordinarily depressed, but he couldn’t bring himself to object. So, he tried to pull the main topic back to the spotlight. “Father, shouldn’t we be discussing our venture in Japan? You just mentioned there should be no direct confrontation with Schulz family. So what should we do now?”“We cannot be too obvious in exposing ourselves, but you can send someone to meet Ito Yahiko in private,” replied Jeremiah.Clayton started to feel a little irritated. He suddenly had an idea to head over to Tokyo to clear his mind, and thus, volunteered. “Father, why don’t I fly to Tokyo tomorrow morning and meet up with Ito Yahiko.”Jeremiah nodded, but his reply surprised Clayton. “We must definitely meet him, but the person meeting him should not be you.”Taken aback, Clayton asked. “Father, what do you mean?”Jeremiah replied, “Previously, the Schulz’ sent their younger generation to meet Ito family. If Wade family were to send you, however, it just doesn’t seem right. It’ll loo

It would be a shame not to praise him, but Sheldon’s acting skills were indeed on point.If it weren’t because Ito Yahiko already knew what a rotten person he was, he would’ve easily been deceived by his warm smile and friendly approach.Although Yahiko felt disgusted, he still forced a smile and replied, “You’re way too polite, Mr. Schulz. When you arrived in Japan, I wanted to personally welcome you at the airport and arrange the hotel stay for you, but I didn’t expect to encounter so many incidents either.”Sheldon hurriedly replied, “Oh, there’s no need to be so courteous, Mr. Ito. We the Schulz and Ito family have a long defining history. We will definitely continue to strengthen our cooperation and deepen our relationship in the future. Why should we be bothered over something so insignificant?”Ito Yahiko saw through his hypocrisy and wanted to hurl his breakfast out, but all he could do was nod his head in agreement. “You’re right. We shouldn’t be so bothered over something

Rescuing the duo was purely coincidental.The only clue they had of him was that he was an Oskian.There was nothing else they knew about him.Sheldon initially wanted Rosalie to look into this mysterious man’s background.But now that the police force, ministry of foreign affairs, and the Japanese department of homeland security were going all out to capture his men, he could only give up on that idea.He needed to send Rosalie back to their country first to prevent the Japanese government from laying hand on her.If they were to be captured by the Japanese government, it would be challenging to escape capital punishment, considering how severe the incident was. Even if they were able to escape the death sentence, they would still be thrown into jail for the rest of their lives!Sheldon’s only option was to discard that thought for now wholly. Now that Ito Yahiko brought up this person again, Sheldon deliberately asked, “Mr. Ito, that mysterious person who was said to protect
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1831
Upon hearing this, Sheldon’s sword-like eyebrows knitted slightly.Naturally, he was not satisfied with Yahiko’s plan.However, he knew very well that Yahiko just amputated his leg. To put it bluntly, the bloody scab of his wound was still fresh. At the moment, it was rather unrealistic to let him immediately push forward such a large project.Moreover, Yahiko’s daughter seemed to be very young, whose age was about the same as his own daughter, Sophie.Under such circumstances, it was indeed difficult for him to immediately make a decision and execute the project.Hence, Sheldon said seriously, “Ito-san, you should have a good rest and take care of yourself during this period of time. When you are discharged from the hospital, I will pay you a visit and discuss the collaboration in detail by the way. What do you think?”Yahiko nodded without hesitation and replied with a gleeful smile, “If Schulz-san visits Tokyo again, I’ll definitely wine and dine you when I get better!”Sheld

Having lost it all, Jacob really looked like he wouldn't be getting back up.But fortunately, he had a pillar in the form of Elaine.In fact, Elaine would serve to be a container, whipping Jacob into shape if he got too full of himself.But on the other hand, now that Jacob was utterly despondent, she would be forcing him to smile and function in general.Elaine's attitude to the entire issue was clear as well. Even though Jacob had just lost his job, she would make him go shopping with her in Dubai even if he fell into a coma. Even if he was dead, she'd just cremate him and bring his ashes along.Hence, with Elaine's firm grip around Jacob's leash, he went on strolls, going shopping and taking selfies with Elaine everyday, eventually easing the toll on his mood and spirit.-Back at Aurous Hill, Charlie was preparing for Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall's wedding as it approached.Yolden was a schoolmate of his mother, Ashley Layna Acker, as well as Charlie's elder.And while Cha

"See you." As soon as Charlie hung up on Matilda, Don Albert's call came right after.He sounded nervous as Charlie answered the phone, saying, "Master Wade, I think I might have gone too far…""Wait, what's this about?" Charlie asked."Your father-in-law, of course…" Don Albert sighed. "You asked me to leave him hanging for a while, so I did. I even refused when he asked to book a room in Heaven Springs.""Well, that's not a problem, is it?" Charlie shrugged. "He and Zachary ganged up for some real mischief. As you are Zachary's boss, it's right that you refused him because you didn't appreciate what he did.""That's just it. I thought that approach was just right as well," Don Albert quickly said. "I wasn't playing nice when Mr. Bay of the Calligraphy and Painting Association called me either. That's when he said he'd try to save Jacob's position as vice-president, but I told him it's none of my business."I then hung up on him without much thought, only for Zachary to tell m

Meanwhile, Charlie was downstairs in Claire's office, waiting to pick her up and head home.That was when Matilda called him, asking as soon as he answered, "Charlie, do you know how Jacob is doing? He never answered any of my texts—is he going to be alright?""I wouldn't know," Charlie replied. "Both he and Elaine are in Dubai on a trip… What's wrong?""He resigned," Matilda sighed. "I only saw the public statement that the Calligraphy and Painting Association posted this afternoon. It says that he tendered the resignation himself, but it doesn't really feel that way. I wonder if he's at odds with other members of the association…"Charlie was actually surprised to hear that Jacob had resigned.He had told Zachary to expose the truth of the bronze sculpture fraud case to teach Jacob a lesson so that Jacob would understand the meaning of true pain.However, he anticipated that Mr. Bay would at least keep Jacob around with an unimportant job even if Jacob did lose some money and e

Falling apart in both mind and spirit, Jacob was crying as he disembarked and took a cab to the hotel.Elaine, who had been lying around for 24 hours, was stunned speechless as she watched him enter, crying like a child.In contrast, Elaine looked like a mother to Jacob just then as he threw himself into her arms and bawled, "Darling… That prick Mr. Bay screwed me over… I have nothing left now…"Taken aback for a moment that Jacob would bawl in her arms like that, Elaine soon came to her senses and patted his back as she comforted him, "Oh, stop crying already. Who cares about some Calligraphy and Painting groupies? We certainly don't! Just hear me out and don't ever go there again!"Jacob kept sobbing, "But I care… I want to go…"Annoyed, Elaine's hand that had been patting Jacob a moment ago slid down to his hip and pinched him viciously before he noticed."Ow!" Jacob yelped in pain, and he demanded indignantly, "What was that for?!""Shut up!" Elaine snapped, glowering. "I wa

Jacob couldn't even be bothered by the looks others were giving him, and he called Mr. Bay immediately.Mr. Bay had already gone home and was seated on the couch with his wife, watching his phone and waiting for Jacob to call and demand an explanation.Mr. Bay knew that he had to answer for this and that if he avoided Jacob, it may well be a confession that he had screwed Jacob over.So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to come clean with Jacob.Naturally, by coming clean, he meant passing the buck as his wife had suggested.Hence, as he answered Jacob's call, he immediately sighed in embarrassment, "Hey, Jacob. I'm so sorry about that…"However, Jacob was so furious he immediately started bellowing, "Mr. Bay! Are you fucking with me here?! You said that the resignation letter was more of a formality, but you just made it public instead! So, all those things you said about helping me were just a trap, was it?! You're despicable! And to think I've been so good to you, even

The repeated flights had left Jacob tormented.Even before he actually had the time to enjoy Dubai, he had already gotten sick of the place and didn't want to ever return.And on the flight, he couldn't stop his thoughts from going astray.Now that he was not getting back the money he had lost, his only hope was Mr. Bay.Fortunately, Mr. Bay was serious about his promise that he would at least save him a job as department head. That was why, despite his thoughts running astray, he never considered the thought that he would be kicked out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.As soon as his flight landed, he didn't wait to turn off his phone's flight mode, waiting for the internet connection to return so that he could ask Mr. Bay about the meeting.Once he did, he received a ton of messages from public accounts to acquaintances—many had already found out that he had resigned from the post of administrative vice-president and wanted to ask how he was doing.And Matilda was

The Calligraphy and Painting Association was certainly efficient—soon after the meeting was dismissed, the news that the administrative vice-president had resigned was posted on their official page and social media.The notice was simple and never mentioned what Jacob had done, only that the administrative vice-president had asked to resign for personal reasons. The request had since been voted upon, and all members had agreed to it.And that was how a simple and short message kicked Jacob out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association entirely.In the city, other associations closely connected with the Calligraphy and Painting Association were the various cultural societies and circles of antique enthusiasts and the Senior University. In fact, most fans of the public page of the Calligraphy and Painting Association were from the Senior City, and every lecturer, student, and even guest lecturer were subscribed.As a matter of fact, that was entirely Jacob's doing. After his lect
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6565
There weren't that many members in the Calligraphy and Painting Association—just a handful over twenty.Hence, at Mr. Bay's request, everyone showed up at the conference at 1 pm.He chose the afternoon as there were a handful who were away on outreach, including Walker, who was subbing for Jacob's lectures.Once the entire Calligraphy and Painting Association save for Jacob was informed of the mandatory meeting, every member was there on the hour, seated primly and in attention in the huge conference room.Mr. Bay didn't waste his breath on the preamble either—as soon as he saw that everyone had arrived, he announced, "Everyone, I've gathered you here today because our administrative vice-president, Jacob Wilson, has been alleged to be involved in a certain malicious scheme."Last night, Mr. Wilson submitted his resignation to me, and after a discussion with my vice-presidents, we've all decided to hold a vote. It will be open to every member in the association as we will be decid

Having sent his resignation letter, Jacob had no idea that it would be the catalyst for his dismissal.He didn't sleep well at the rundown motel either and had dark circles under his eyes as he rushed to the airport early the next morning.Clearing the checkpoint and boarding his flight, everything went smoothly until his flight to Dubai lifted off at 10 am.-Meanwhile, the other vice-presidents of the Calligraphy and Painting Association had arrived at Mr. Bay's office.They all had the same goal—pressure Mr. Bay and get Jacob kicked out of the association no matter what it took.Naturally, they knew that Mr. Bay most definitely would have to help Jacob since Jacob was close with Don Albert. If Mr. Bay insisted on protecting Jacob, they shouldn't insist, or Jacob would hear about it, and the man would bear a grudge.Even so, as the vice-presidents entered Mr. Bay's office and closed the door behind them, one of them couldn't help asking, "So, Mr. Bay—how do you intend to deal
