Chapter 2640

Author: Lord Leaf
The phone call was immediately connected after ringing twice.

Jeremiah asked happily, “Charlie, why did you suddenly think of calling me today?”

Charlie went straight to the topic as he said, “I need to ask you for a favor.”

Jeremiah replied without any hesitation, “Oh! Why do you need to be so polite with your own grandfather? You can just tell me if there is anything you need. As long as it is within my abilities, I will certainly go all out to help you!”

Charlie replied, “I have to go to Lebanon immediately to deal with an urgent matter. I heard that you own a Concorde. So, I would like to borrow it.”

“Borrow the Concorde?” Jeremiah hesitated for a moment. After a short while, he smiled and said, “Charlie, if you want to borrow a private jet, I own a very, very luxurious Boeing business jet. I spent more than one hundred million US dollars just on the internal modification of the jet alone. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a palace in the sky. Should I lend tha

    In Jeremiah’s eyes, Charlie was a person that he had to fight hard to win over.Leaving Charlie’s powerful and incredible strength aside, Jeremiah was already looking forward to Charlie’s official return to the Wade family simply because of the marriage contract between Charlie and Quinn, combined with the firm and willing attitude that the Golding family had to fulfill and abide by the marriage contract.The money that he had made by engaging in trade and businesses would have to be gathered and accumulated one after the other. However, a sum of money that Charlie could make for the Wade family simply by marrying a woman would be equivalent to adding tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars worth of property and assets overnight for the Wade family.Yule only had one daughter, and that was Quinn. Hence, everyone knew that as long as anyone were to marry Quinn, he would be able to inherit the entire Golding family.Jeremiah had already wanted to surpass the Schulz family since

    Charlie felt very moved in his heart, and he said softly, “My dear wife, to be honest, I really do not want to leave right now either. However, the customer this time is a regular customer of mine, and I really cannot turn him down.”Having said that, Charlie paused slightly before he continued, “Wife, why don’t we do this instead? I promise you that I will not accept any new requests for the next month after I am done with the job this time!”The reason why Charlie promised that he would not accept any request for one month was because it would be the Tomb Sweeping Festival slightly after a month, and he would have to go to Eastcliff to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony then. When the time came, he would definitely have to use Feng Shui as an excuse to explain things to Claire, then.When Claire, who was on the other end of the line, heard Charlie saying that he would not be accepting any Feng Shui jobs for one month, her mood finally eased up a little. She also spoke in

    As soon as Charlie said that he wanted to head to the airport, Isaac subconsciously asked, “Young Master, you want to go now?”Charlie blurted out, “What else are we waiting for if I am not going to set off now? I estimate that the plane has already taken off. It will arrive at the Aurous Airport in more than twenty minutes. If the helicopter is a little slower, the Concorde might even arrive before us.”At this time, Isaac finally came to his senses as he smiled awkwardly and said, “Yes, yes, that’s right. I forgot that the Concorde is extremely fast. Please wait a moment. I will arrange for the helicopter to prepare for takeoff, then.”After he was done speaking, Isaac picked up the walkie-talkie on the table before he blurted out, “The helicopter crew should prepare and get ready immediately. We will be taking off to head to the Aurous Airport in five minutes!”Very soon, Charlie could hear the sound of the helicopter engine starting coming from the rooftop.Isaac hurriedly sai

    A few minutes later, the helicopter that Charlie was in arrived at the Aurous Airport.The Concorde was parked at the end of the airport runway.The pilot spoke up at this time as he said, “Young Master, Chairman Cameron, the people from the airport gave us feedback saying that the Concorde is already prepared to take off. We can land directly next to the Concorde before boarding and taking off immediately!”“Okay!” Charlie nodded. He became more aware of the reason behind the success of many big and influential families, and a large part of it was because of the support and guarantee behind the success.If ordinary people wanted to go to Syria according to the conventional route, it would take them at least twenty-four hours from the moment they boarded the plane.However, with such a complete support system, the time taken to arrive in Syria could be reduced to nearly six hours.The eighteen-hour difference might not seem like a big deal during any ordinary time, and it would b

    Yolden would never have dreamt that Charlie was already prepared to head to Syria!His original intention in calling Charlie was not to ask for his help either. This was because he felt that Charlie would not be able to help him in any way either. After all, his daughter was currently in Syria, which was six to seven thousand kilometers away from him, and she was also in the hands of the opposition force who were heavily armed with military equipment.Under this kind of situation, even the Syrian government would not be able to help in any way. So, he never would have thought that Charlie would be able to help him.The reason why Yolden was making this call to Charlie was simply to give him an update about the latest situation. So, when he heard Charlie saying that he was already prepared to head to Syria, he was shocked and completely at a loss for words.After a short while, he subconsciously asked, “Charlie, you… how are you going to get to Syria? No civil aviation is connecte

    Yolden did not know of Charlie’s plan.When he heard that Charlie was planning to use money to solve the problem, he was a little relieved.He had originally hoped that the United States Embassy would be willing to pay for the ransom. However, the United States Embassy seemed to have a very firm and determined attitude, and they did not give the opposition force room for any negotiations at all.Now that Charlie was willing to pay the ransom in their place, Yolden felt that as long as the opposition force’s core demands were met, they would naturally honor their promise.So, he was very grateful as he said to Charlie, “Charlie, I will have to leave everything to you, then!”Charlie smiled slightly as he said, “Uncle Hart, you don’t have to worry. The plane is about to takeoff, so I will not continue talking to you anymore.”Yolden quickly replied, “Okay, okay. I will wait for your safe return, then!”After hanging up the phone, Charlie was already seated in the Concorde. Both Ch

    “How would I rescue them and bring them out safely?”When Charlie heard Isaac’s question, Charlie smiled bitterly before he replied frankly, “To be honest, I do not know how I am going to rescue them or bring them out safely either.”Isaac asked nervously, “Then, how confident are you this time?”Charlie said seriously, “I have never been to Syria, and I do not know anything about the strength and defense of the Syrian opposition force. However, judging from the situation that you have just mentioned, the information seems to prove that the other party is still very strong and powerful. Even if I am a little capable, it would be impossible for me to take on thousands of soldiers who are armed with live ammunition. So, I can only find a way to sneak in quietly.”As he spoke, Charlie sighed slightly as he said, “If I am lucky, I might be able to sneak in, but if I am not that lucky, I might not even be able to get in at all.”Isaac was very worried as he said, “Young Master, you are

    Charlie nodded. “Alright, then. Ask them to arrange for a skydiving instructor to board the plane with me so that he can teach me how to release the parachute and control the direction along the way!”***After flying for more than four hours, Charlie’s Concorde finally landed at the Beirut Airport, in the capital of Lebanon.It was the afternoon in Beirut, and the temperature had already reached about 30 degrees Celsius. The sky was a little hazy, and the air was a little damp. It seemed as though a heavy rain had not fallen even after being held back for a long time.After Charlie’s plane had landed, the plane taxied directly into a huge hangar. At this time, there was also a transport plane with four propeller engines parked in the hangar. A group of crew members was surrounding the plane to conduct a detailed inspection.After the plane had stopped, the ladder was docked. The crew opened the door, and both Charlie and Isaac walked out of the cabin together.At this time, th

    While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w

    However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you

    The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,

    Elaine may have led a life as if she was above the rules, but beneath that tough exterior lay crippling insecurities and a horrific inferiority complex.She was always afraid of being belittled—but more than that, of being ostracized and betrayed.Over the years, the greatest source of her complexes could all be traced back to Matilda.After all, Matilda had been a star back in their school days. Because Elaine was a close friend of hers, many boys would get chummy with Elaine, but only because they were interested in Matilda.Being from a poor farmer's family, Elaine had been scorned plenty and therefore felt exceedingly inferior around Matilda.It was from that sense of inferiority that Elaine had inadvertently developed a one-sided rivalry against Matilda, and she believed her greatest triumph over Matilda in this life was the moment she had stolen Jacob from her.However, while Elaine presumed that she could hold that victory over Matilda's head, Lady Wilson had soured that v

    Moreover, given Elaine's ridiculous temper, Jacob knew she would definitely go overboard and destroy him.He wouldn't even have a place to live at that point, and it would really be game over if she held a grudge and stormed the Calligraphy and Painting Association!Under such circumstances, he couldn't ask for a divorce—hell, he might even refuse a divorce if Elaine asked for one!However, that was when Elaine laughed coldly. "Oh, my… You're really not going to divorce me?""Come on—how long were we married?" Jacob quickly reasoned. "Getting divorced at our age? People would laugh at us."Elaine scoffed. "Now I'm curious… Matilda's quite old too, and she's a divorcee marrying again. Won't people laugh at her?""Technically, she's a widow—"Jacob blurted out, but soon turned pale, tensing up again not a second after he had just calmed down, asking gingerly, "W-Why would you suddenly mention her?'Elaine stopped pretending right then and snapped, "It's actually impressive that y

    Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th

    Jacob's brain blanked out, leaving only a dull hum as soon as Walker mentioned 'Professor Hall'.Already feeling nervous in the first place, he quickly said, "Okay, okay—I got it. Anyway, I'm hanging up if there's nothing else!"With that, he promptly pressed the button to hang up.Nonetheless, Elaine was soon asking in curiosity, "Who's Professor Hall?"If Jacob had any semblance of composure, he would have said 'a colleague at Senior University' as if it was perfectly natural, and the matter would have been forgotten.But the reality was that he didn't—in fact, he was the champion when it came to dropping the ball as a casual question from Elaine left him sweating all over his brow.Even as he slid nervous glances at her face, he stammered uncontrollably, "N-Nobody…"Elaine promptly noticed his strange reaction and frowned. "I'm talking about Professor Hall. What do you mean, nobody? Who are they? And what's this about an invitation? Inviting you for what?"Seeing that he was

    Jacob had really had too much to drink and couldn't remember the later parts of what had happened last night—even how he had gotten home was a blur.Naturally, he also forgot that Walker had brought Matilda's wedding invitation, and therefore didn't hesitate to answer the in-car answer button.Over the phone, Walker was positively fawning as he asked, "Mr. Wilson? It's Walker. Why didn't you come in today? Had too much to drink last night?""Uh-huh," Jacob grunted, lethargic. "I did—my head still hurts now… Anyway, what's up? Trouble at the association?""No, of course not," Walker quickly said. "I was just worried you're still hungover, so I called to ask. If you need a driver or anything, you just need to ask!"Then, before Jacob could answer, he continued, "By the way, my wife is somewhat knowledgable in Oskian medicine, and she has recipes for brews that cure hangovers and nourish the liver. I'm sure you'll need the latter since you're always drinking at social events, so I as

    Fortunately, Elaine and Jacob's bickering never escalated.Even though Elaine was winning, Jacob found it tolerable.After Jacob finished his lunch and cleaned up, he never looked up as he said, "Charlie sent a text, saying Claire's flight would touch down earlier at three. We will leave at two."Elaine grumbled. "Why leave so early? She's coming back from abroad, and there'd be checkpoints she has to clear—she'd be lucky if she could leave by half past three. I'm sleeping a few winks now, and we'll leave at half past two."As she left the dining room, she didn't even look back as she said, "Clean up for me too."Jacob had a million complaints but said nothing as he kept his head down, throwing Elaine's lunchbox in the trash can as well.With Elaine gone, he sat on the couch as her hangover slowly cleared while his mood soured with the lack of alcohol.In the end, the pleasure of being fawned over at the Diamond Room was but temporary—the pain of his beloved leaving with someone
