The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1991
The commotion immediately attracted Jacob’s attention. He was so bewildered and astonished when he saw his mother.After a long moment, he turned to Charlie and asked, “Hey, Charlie, i-is that my mother? That is my mother, right?”Charlie smiled faintly and said, “Yes, Dad, that is indeed Lady Wilson.”Jacob gaped in shock. “W-Why is she wearing a staff vest?! Did she come to work here?”Charlie nodded. “It seems like it.”Jacob said, baffled, “Something’s wrong. Didn’t Donald Webb give the Wilson family a capital injection? He even bought them the Thompson First villa. They should be living a very prosperous and comfortable life now!”Jacob didn’t know what had happened over the past two days. He didn’t know that Elaine had been kidnapped by his own brother and nephew, and he didn’t even know that Donald had surrendered a considerable part of his family assets and become Albert’s slave. So, of course, he didn’t know how miserable the Wilson family had become over the past two da

Charlie asked, “So, Dad, do you have any plans?”He did not know what Jacob was thinking at this moment. Seeing Jacob’s sorrowful expression, he assumed that Jacob might want to lend Lady Wilson a helping hand.Jacob simply sighed and said, “As her son, it breaks my heart to see my own mother living such a hard-knock life and doing such a tedious job. I should not just sit on my hands and watch.”The next second, he closed his eyes and said, “However, I didn’t see anything! It was nothing but an illusion!”With that, he quickly turned around and said, “Charlie, let’s go buy some fish, shrimp, meat, and eggs. As for the vegetables, let’s buy them at another supermarket. What do you think?”Knowing Jacob’s intention, Charlie immediately smiled and said, “Yes, Dad. I’m thinking the same thing. The vegetables in this supermarket are not so fresh. Let’s go to the wet market later to buy the vegetables! First, let’s go see if they have a larger Boston lobster, and we’ll buy some back!”

Charlie also saw Hannah.When he laid eyes on Hannah’s green vest, he felt that it was somewhat comical. He started wondering what she looked like when she was working at the coal mine back then and if she was given a uniform. He even started to imagine what she would look like in the coal mine uniform.Hannah was feeling very frustrated now, shooting a vengeful glare at Charlie.Charlie was the one who had brought all these miseries upon her. It was he who had ruined it all when she tried to spring a trap on Elaine.That was not all.The worst part was that he had donated all her money to charity and then sent her to the coal mine!When she thought of her wretched moments in the coal mine, she couldn’t help cursing, “This d*mned Charlie! He sent me to that hell hole! I gave up so much when I was there, but what I got in return were STDs and a child! If it were not for him, I wouldn’t be so miserable today…”The more she thought about it, the more agitated she felt toward Charli

Hannah had only just come to the supermarket today to apply for a part-time job at a hundred dollars a day, but after having a conversation with the manager, he decided to let her take the job as a cashier since she was a college graduate.Cashier work was not as tiring as the other tasks, and the wage was a hundred and fifty a day. Therefore, she had agreed to the job offer in delight.The manager would love to have Hannah at the post she was at now if there were no big issues, but he could not keep her if she dared to provoke customers at the checkout counter. Fortunately, since she was just casually bickering with her relatives, the manager decided to let it slide and reminded her, “You need to watch out for your image since you are on duty now. Don’t chit-chat even if they are your relatives when you’re working, got it?”Hannah hurriedly nodded and said flatteringly, “Don’t worry. I won’t do it again!”The manager nodded and prepared to turn and leave when Jacob said, “Hey, a

The manager instantly understood what was going on after hearing Jacob’s remark, and he thought to himself, ‘So, Hannah clashed with customers, shouted at them, and even lied to my face in front of the customers! This is simply outrageous! If I kept her here for the job, I wonder how many customers she will offend next, and it may end up dragging me down too! No! I must get rid of her now!’Thinking of this, the manager said in a stern voice without hesitation, “Hannah Wilson, I hired you to work as a temp here, but I didn’t expect you to mistreat customers! I don’t think you are suitable for the job. Give me the cashier keys now, take off your vest, and leave!”Hannah felt as if her world had crumbled upon her!She thought to herself, ‘I came here early in the morning to look for a job, and I’ve been working so hard all morning! It’s almost lunchtime, and I was looking forward to going to the staff canteen and enjoying my free lunch, but I was fired! In this case, not only do I hav

Hannah shouted desperately, “Who are you to expel me?! Why aren’t you paying me a salary?!” No matter how loudly she shouted, no one pitied her nor sympathized with her. When Hannah was about to be dragged out from the supermarket, the manager said to Charlie and Jacob apologetically, “Let me offer my sincere apologies to both of you. It was my fault for hiring an unsuitable candidate to work here.” Jacob nodded, then he said, “It wasn’t your fault. Nonetheless, you are responsible for this incident as you didn’t hire the suitable worker!” Jacob then sighed and said melancholically, “You have poor judgement.” The manager nodded his head in embarrassment, “Your criticism is right. I’ll learn from my mistakes!” Jacob patted his shoulder and said proudly, “You still need more experience!” “Yes!” The manager nodded his head repeatedly. Then, he waved his hand at a cashier who had just finished her meal and was about to start her shift, and he said to her,

At this moment, Hannah felt that the days she had here were worse than those days at Mount Blackpine.She cried while reminiscing those days at Mount Blackpine, sighing as she said, “Despite those days at Mount Blackpine being not that good either, at least I did not have to starve when I was with the supervisor!” “Not only did I not have to starve, but I also did not have to do much work. Moreover, I also could gamble with Linda Howard and her family. How I miss those days!”“Although the supervisor looked ugly and was unhygienic, he was good in bed and had enabled me to experience unprecedented feelings…” Thinking of this, Hannah sighed. She sobbed and said to Wendy, who was by her side, “Wendy, how are we going to go through these tough days? We face many problems every day. Gone is our money, our company has gone bankrupt, we’re staying at a stranger's villa, and we hardly even have meals to consume. When will days like these end?” Wendy couldn’t help but cry too a

Wendy said, “Gerald and I had gone upstairs to meet Doris. Not only did she refuse to see us, but she also humiliated us by saying that Emgrand Group wouldn’t cooperate with those of the lower class like us. Soon afterward, Gerald was beaten up by Emgrand Group’s security guard…” Wendy then continued, “Later on, Emgrand Group terminated the partnership with the White family. Gerald’s father and uncle were very furious. Ever since then, Gerald started to stray away from me while his uncle, Zeke, had grown closer with Charlie. He even gifted Charlie the villa next to his…” “After that, the agreement between Claire and Emgrand Group had been terminated as a result of Grandma breaking her promise. Since then, our family has gone downhill…” “Wendell used to pursue Claire. Amidst that, his family was declared bankrupt. Since then, he had also disappeared into thin air...” “Likewise, Jason Grant used to court Claire. Eventually, Jason and his father, Justin disappeared. To

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
