The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 291
The host’s words stunned everyone present in the exhibition hall.These two cars were top-class luxury sports cars. There were just a few of these cars in the whole country, and an ordinary person could only see it in an auto show like this. The same man actually owned both of these cars?!Both of the luxury sports cars could not simply be bought with money!The Aston Martin ONE-77 could only be bought by members of the Aston Martin brand. Moreover, the member would only be eligible to buy the car if he already owned three or more Aston Martin sports cars worth more than tens of millions of dollars each.That was the basic qualification criterion for the member to be eligible to buy the car. The Aston Martin ONE-77 was very limited and there were only seventy-seven units of this car in the entire world. This particular one in the exhibition hall right now was the one and only Aston Martin ONE-77 in the country!It was even more difficult to buy the Bugatti Veyron Hermes special ed

Jason had always been interested in Claire, and he knew about Charlie’s existence, but he had never met him before.When he finally realized that the man standing in front of his was none other than Claire’s husband, Jason looked at Charlie before pretending to ask him curiously, “I wonder what you are doing now, Charlie?”Charlie simply replied, “I am a vagrant now.”There was a flash of disdain in Jason’s eyes as soon as he heard Charlie’s words. Truth be told, he had already had a good impression of Claire when she was still working for the Wilson Group. He had deliberately looked for Claire when he heard that she had already started her own business. Therefore, he was the one who had intentionally thrown out the order for the refurbishment of the convention and exhibition center before inviting Claire over here today.At this time, Jason felt as though he had to show off his status in front of Charlie. Therefore, he looked at Charlie before he smiled and said, “Charlie, I don’t
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 293
After he was done criticizing Charlie, Jason turned around and spoke to Claire. “Claire, I attach great importance to our collaboration this time. To express my sincerity toward you, you can pick any one of the luxury cars here today aside from the two cars in the center of the showroom. Pick any one of these cars since it is already time for you to replace the junk BMW 520 that you are driving right now. How about the Audi RS8? It is a very powerful car, and it is perfect for you!”Jason had been coveting Claire for a long time, and the reason he invited Claire over here today was that he wanted to use his wealth and power to win Claire over under the guise of renovating the convention and exhibition center.Jessica knew that Jason had always been interested in Claire. Therefore, she hurriedly said, “Claire, this is a token of appreciation from Mr. Grant. You should not refuse his kind gesture.”However, Claire rejected his offer immediately as she said, “Thank you, Mr. Grant, but

Jason walked past the crowd of people before walking toward the security guard and saying, “Brother, I am the deputy general manager of the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center. My family owns this convention and exhibition center. Could you allow me to step closer to appreciate the two cars at a closer distance?”“No!” One of the security guards who had recently retired from the army replied firmly. “Our boss has already instructed us not to allow anyone to approach the cars. Only the owner of the car is allowed to approach the cars!”Jason was very angry and frustrated at this moment.D*mn! He was really not allowed to touch the cars at all.This was extremely embarrassing. Moreover, this exhibition center was owned by his family!If he was truly not allowed to touch either of the two cars, wouldn’t that mean that he was exactly the same as Charlie?No! Jason could not afford to lose face to Charlie.Jason suppressed the frustration that he was feeling as he continued
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 295
At this time, a manager dressed in a suit hurried over as soon as he heard the commotion.There was a group of sturdy and muscular bodyguards following closely behind him.“What is happening? Who is causing a commotion here?”When Jason saw the manager, he asked him arrogantly, “Are you the person-in-charge?”“Yes.” The man nodded before he continued speaking, “I am the executive manager of the auto show exhibition. My name is Luke Marshall. You are?”Jason snorted before he said, “I am Jason Grant, the owner of the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center!”Luke nodded slightly before he replied, “So, you are Mr. Grant. What is the matter?”Jason spoke to him coldly, “Your subordinates are truly very incapable! I want to go up to the platform so that I can take a closer look at the cars, but he refused to let me do so. What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?”Luke smiled before he replied, “Sorry, Mr. Grant, but these two cars have already been bought by a cu

”Mr. Quinton, there is a Mr. Grant from the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center who is insisting on touching the Aston Martin ONE-77. There is a fight going on right now. What should I do now?”Graham was extremely shocked, and he immediately burst out, “I bought that car for Mr. Wade! I don’t care who wants to touch the cars. Other than Mr. Wade, no one else is allowed to touch the cars! If anyone tries to touch the car, I want the security guard to break his hand!”Luke hurriedly replied, “Mr. Quinton, the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center belongs to the Grant family. Wouldn’t it be a little too much if we did that?”“So what?! Who cares about the Grant family!” Graham yelled violently over the phone. “The Grant family is nothing to me! I am giving you an order right now. If that kid with the last name Grant dares to lay a finger on the car that I bought, I want you to get out of Aurous Hill, and you’d better pray that I never see you again!”Graham had just g

Jason was extremely frightened, but he was also very furious and angry at this time.He had gotten beaten up in the convention and exhibition center that he owned, and he even had to kneel and apologize to the person who had beat him up. Most importantly, he was beaten up and humiliated in front of Claire. This was the biggest humiliation that he had ever suffered in his life!However, Jason knew that he could not afford to provoke the Quinton family. Therefore, he could only curse at Charlie in his heart.He felt that all of this had only happened because Charlie was the one who had challenged him to touch the car. As a result, he had been beaten up and humiliated in front of Claire. He had to exact revenge on Charlie! He had to make him pay for what he had done today!At this time, Luke quickly ordered the security guards, “Okay, stop beating him already.”The security guards stopped hitting him immediately. The security guards working for the convention and exhibition center ha

Jason laughed even louder when he heard Charlie’s words. “Charlie, are you addicted to lying? Do you even know your own place or status at all? Do you really think you have the qualifications to ride in this car?”Jessica also said disdainfully, “Claire, I am honestly disappointed that you have married such a useless person who likes to boast.”At this time, Claire felt completely helpless and could only stare at Charlie with a disappointed expression on her face.Was this guy seriously mentally retarded? Did he truly not understand the consequences of his actions even on an occasion like this?Charlie could not be bothered to explain himself, and so, he simply took out the two smart bracelet keys from his pocket before waving them in front of Luke who was in charge of the auto show. After that, he asked lightly, “Have you seen these before?”Luke was shocked when he saw the smart bracelet keys in Charlie’s hands.After that, he suddenly recalled what Graham had told him over the

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
