The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 2277
Charlie had known Wendy for so long, but this was the first time he was seeing the expression of commitment and dedication of wanting to do a good job on her face.This had never happened in the past. Her previous self had been young, impetuous, pompous, and vain.But now, after experiencing the turbulence and hardships that life had brought her, she had transformed to be calmer and well-mannered. This made Charlie somewhat pleased.The Wilson family was certainly abominable, but they were, after all, Claire’s family. This was why Charlie had not made a move to ruin them entirely.If he was determined to attack them, the Wilson family would not be able to sustain his onslaught with their limited ability.Now that Wendy had shown the tenacity of turning over a new leaf, it was worth giving her a chance.However, it did not mean that he would let her manage the company all by herself, hence, he said to Wendy, “After you take over Mallow Stenhouse, you must always remember your orig

If he did a good job at being a restroom attendant, there was a chance to regain his freedom sooner, otherwise, he would have to spend the rest of his life working as a restroom attendant in the nightclub.He didn’t want to end up working as a person handing hand towels to male customers in front of the nightclub restroom when he was a white-haired old man! That would be too f*cking pathetic!At this moment, Jayden felt somewhat sympathetic as he looked at Hebron’s dismayed expression.Thinking of this, he lamented to himself, ‘Although Hebron almost got me into big trouble today, he is still my friend, has been respectful to me, and even arranged the girl I fancied for me. I owe him a favor for that…’‘And just now, to protect myself, I immediately beat him up and even threatened to cripple him. Now that I think about it, I feel so f*cking sorry for him. If this incident is known to the public, people will think that I, Jayden Marquez, am indecent and would betray my friend when s

Jayden knew very well that Charlie had ordered Hebron to be a restroom attendant at the nightclub as his punishment. If he openly helped him, it was the same as going against Charlie.He clearly did not have the guts to do so, hence, the only solution he could think of was to quietly and appropriately look after Hebron, and only by a little bit.For example, if he stumbled upon Hebron at the restroom entrance handing out hand towels, he would give him spare change such as five, ten, or twenty dollars, but not more than fifty, as it would raise Charlie’s suspicion. If Charlie felt that he was intentionally generating revenue for Hebron, he would be welcoming trouble for himself.After Charlie had finished discussing the standard operation of the etiquette company, he turned to Jayden and said, “Jayden, later, take Wendy and Hebron to settle the company management transfer, and also, keep an eye on Hebron and Xavia and make sure they transfer their money to the company’s account.”Ja

Wendy looked at Charlie and wanted to say something, but she felt as though there was a lump in her throat that blocked the words from coming out.Seeing her frozen and stunned expression, Charlie directly stuffed the phone in her hands without a word and turned to Jayden and said, “Jayden, in the future, if your friends, business partners, buddies, or whoever need hostesses for their events, remember to look for Wendy here, understand?”Jayden said confidently, “Master Wade, please rest assured that once Miss Wendy starts her company operation, I’ll help her promote her business everywhere! I, Jayden Marquez, have quite a broad connection in Aurous Hill. I’m sure these friends of mine will definitely recruit Miss Wendy’s hostesses for my sake, and her business will prosper in no time!”Then, he hurriedly added, “By the way, Master Wade, tomorrow is the anniversary of several of my nightclubs, and I happen to need to hire a group of hostesses for the event. I’ll need Miss Wendy’s he

After leaving Pearl River Point, Charlie rushed to the wet market.He had spent too much time dealing with Wendy’s matter. If he didn’t hurry to buy the food back to cook, Claire would not be able to eat lunch when she got home from work.Although Aurous Hill was an ancient city, it was getting more and more modernized nowadays. Most of the old buildings were either destroyed, demolished, or renovated to suit the modernization of the city. They had basically turned into skyscrapers and high-rise buildings of the modern metropolitan city.Many traditional craft stores and markets were gradually being replaced by a variety of luxurious shop lots as well as integrated supermarkets.In the early years, there were a lot of roadside barbers who had excellent skills in haircutting and shaving. A simple haircut or shave was only about two to three dollars.However, these ancient and old-schooled barbers had long since disappeared and were now replaced by the dazzling and high-end hair sal

After Uncle Walters had stepped out of the car, he pulled the door of the back seat open and said respectfully to the woman sitting in the car, “Miss Helen, we have arrived.”The woman sitting in the car was none other than Helen.Upon disembarking the plane, she had first taken Jaime and Sophie back to the Dunn family’s old mansion with Uncle Walters to settle down and put away their luggage. Then, she had hurriedly asked Uncle Walters to bring her to see the place where Curtis had lived before he passed away.As for Jaime and Sophie, they each had their own plans in the city.Jaime went to the orphanage to talk about the donations while Sophie was sitting in her room with her laptop, continuing to search for Charlie among the thousands of people in the video.Helen was happy with their own arrangement, though. After all, she was visiting Curtis’s old residence, who was the love of her life. She didn’t feel it was appropriate to bring along her children.At this moment, Helen wa

Helen subconsciously substituted herself as Curtis’s wife in her mind, and she instantly felt that her eyes were already filled with tears.She wanted to hold the tears back, but she really would not have expected that big drops of tears would gush out of her eyes because she could not control it or hold it back at all. The tears slid down her wrinkle-free face which seemed to show no signs of aging whatsoever.The old butler who was standing aside could only sigh silently when he saw this.“Sigh… who in the entire capital would not know that the second lady of the Dunn family has been deeply in love with Curtis for so many years…”“However, who would have known that the second lady would still have such deep feelings and affection for him even after Curtis has already passed away nearly twenty years ago…”Ever since time began, love and sentimental affections would leave nothing but everlasting hatred behind.According to the ancient time, regret would be more suited for the wor

As soon as Helen heard this, she suddenly became very excited, and she blurted out, “Help me look further into it. I want to win the bid for this mansion.”The old butler nodded and said, “This mansion occupies a small area and cannot be demolished in the future. So, it is considered a low-quality asset that cannot be circulated. Therefore, it should be relatively easy for us to win the bid for this mansion when the time comes.”“Okay.” Helen replied determinedly, “We have to win the bid for this mansion no matter how much it is going to cost!”After she was done speaking, she hurriedly asked, “Uncle Walters, did you help me to speak to anyone from the judiciary? Can I go in and take a look at the mansion now?”“Yes, yes.” The old butler hurriedly said, “When I was on the phone with them just now, they told me that they will be coming over here for the asset registration and evaluation over the next two days because they will have to collect some materials in preparation for the ju

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A

While Jacob was feeling delighted after pulling off his con, Raymond had posted details of the bronze sculpture online.The website he was using was the biggest platform for antique collectors and the antique trade where each user could set a favorite tag in the antique category and era. If a user who preferred canvas art pieces of the Tudor dynasty set that label as their favorite, they would immediately be notified with text or desktop notifications in regards to any item with the same label.As medieval bronze sculptures were rare in the first place, most who were interested had already set that label on their favorites and were immediately notified soon after Raymond posted pictures of the bronze sculpture online.The collectors were naturally eager to check it out as gilded sculptures of the medieval era were really rare, and most collectors would go a lifetime without picking one up for their collection.On top of that, the seller had even listed a major flaw and was only ask

"Nope," Jacob chuckled. "We were both working separately and just happened to get back in at the same time."Then, he immediately became smug and excited, "Guess what, dear? I made 200 thousand out of the deal! In net profits!""For real?!" Elaine gaped. "200 thousand in just one night?! That's amazing! How did you do that?"Claire was surprised to hear that too, and she came over to ask, "What deal was it, Dad?"Jacob grinned, "Oh, it's nothing to brag about. It's just that I managed to pick up a nice antique item thanks to my wisdom and then sold it for 200 thousand."Pausing, he then sighed in dismay, "However, the buyer wasn't too rich—I would have squeezed him for 400 thousand, but he couldn't afford more, so I had to settle for less."Elaine quickly exclaimed, "Shit, we're talking about a loss of 200 thousand! People would work a year and still never earn that much…"She trailed off for a moment before asking, "By the way, dear—are we still flying out first thing tomorrow?

Jacob laughed. "Put that issue behind us? Sure, but we're not becoming friends. Hell, I can't even hold a grudge now that you're shit out of luck."Then, his tone changed sharply and suddenly became icy, "But you see, Aurous Hill is not a place you can stay just because you want to. No… After this, you're not going to be able to make a living in the antique trade.""If I were you, I'd be running a thousand miles away, far away from Aurous Hill where no one would know my face to start over. That way, you just might be able to make a living."Raymond simply kept smiling, "You need not be concerned about how I'm going to survive here, Mr. Wilson. I'd be very grateful if you'd cease any form of harassment once you leave my premises."Jacob pursed his lips, staring at Raymond in disappointment. "I'm plenty magnanimous, so I won't stoop to such pettiness. Just do whatever you like!"Clicking his tongue, he huffed, "Tut, tut… And here I'd thought you're tough, but you're just yet another

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
