‘Could it be that she really does not want me to appear at her concert that badly?!’When Charlie heard Quinn’s request, he said with slight embarrassment, “Nana, I forgot to tell you just now that Tom Zielinski is right in front of me.”As he said that, he switched to the rear camera on his phone as he pointed the camera at Tom, who was kneeling on the ground.Quinn was indeed a little surprised for a moment when she saw Tom. After that, she then said, “Tom, since you’re here, I’ll not beat around the bush. I specially prepared my concert in Aurous Hill for Brother Charlie! Moreover, the day of my concert is also Brother Charlie’s birthday! I do not want any flaws in my concert, so I cannot accept your appearance at my concert! Before this, you used all kinds of connections, and it was very difficult for me to make things clear to you. Since everything is already out in the open now, I’ll not continue hiding the truth anymore. I’m sorry, then.”Tom instantly broke down emotionally

Carmen, who was far away in Eastcliff, had been silent all this while as she listened to the conversation over the phone. The more she listened, the more she felt sorry for Tom.Carmen also could not understand why Tom would end up being such a failure. After all, everything he had done was because he had wanted to pursue Quinn, but in the end, Quinn actually despised him to this extent.It would be fine if Quinn were to simply despise him, but since Tom had offended Charlie because of Quinn, the losses really outweighed the gains.At this time, Carmen also did not know how she should explain things to Zacheus. He was still waiting for her to save his son, but his son had actually been detained directly by her own nephew, and Zacheus would have to wait for at least three years before he would be able to see his son again.Just as Carmen was feeling extremely worried and frustrated over this matter, she suddenly received a prompt on her cell phone. It was an incoming phone call from

Zacheus ground his teeth and asked, “Then, what does he want before he will be willing to let Tom go?”Carmen hesitated for a moment before she said awkwardly, “Charlie said that he would let Tom work as a seaman on his ship for three years. Tom will not be allowed to leave the ship at all during these three years, let alone set foot on ground. He will only be able to regain his freedom after three years.”“F*ck!” Zacheus immediately burned with rage as he roared angrily, “Is this a f*cking joke? He wants my son to work as a seaman for him for three years?! Who does he think he is?! If he does not return my son to me today, I’ll make sure that he pays for it!”Carmen persuaded, “Zacheus, listen to my advice. Charlie is not someone you can afford to mess with. Even I cannot afford to offend him. If you offend him, he will deal with you arbitrarily. Even my father would not side with me at all. Now that Tom has already fallen into his hands, no one will be able to save him, including

Jeremiah’s words made Zacheus feel very unhappy deep inside his heart.In his opinion, Jeremiah was simply saying this because he was defending his grandson.The reason why Zacheus had looked for him was because he was hoping that Jeremiah would help him put in a good word in front of Charlie on his account to see if this matter could be reduced from a big problem to a small issue.However, he never would have dreamt that Jeremiah would tell him directly that he, Zacheus, would not be able to afford to offend his grandson?!Wasn’t he simply being a bully, then?!Jeremiah seemed to have guessed what Zacheus was thinking, and he said seriously, “Zacheus, I know that you must think that I’m simply protecting Charlie, but let me tell you the truth. Although Charlie is my grandson, you’d still be no match for Charlie. The entire Wade family and even I are not capable of interfering in this matter at all.”Zacheus naturally did not believe this. When he heard these words, he could not

He knew very well what kind of person Carmen was. If even Carmen had to suffer such hardship and grievance under Charlie’s hands, this was more than enough to prove that Charlie was not someone who would be easy to deal with. Moreover, he was probably a tough nut to crack!If even Carmen could not deal with him, it would certainly be very difficult for him too.When he heard Carmen crying over the other end of the line, he hurriedly said, “Carmen, why didn’t you tell me about all this earlier?”Carmen sighed and said helplessly, “What is the point of me telling you about it? Even I cannot afford to mess around with Charlie, so how can I possibly ask you to look for him and court your own death, then?”Zacheus said with some embarrassment, “You… No matter what it is, you’re still my woman. If you had said something, I'd definitely be willing to take all risks and go through thick and thin for you!”Carmen smiled and said, “I’m truly satisfied to know that you have this thought. How

Carmen naturally could not turn Zacheus’s request down after hearing his plea. So, she could only speak up, “Wait a moment. I’ll give Charlie a call and ask him about it.”Zacheus sighed slightly before he said dejectedly, “Alright, then. Thank you for the trouble, Carmen.”“No problem.” Carmen comforted him, “Zacheus, you don’t have to be so sad. In truth, I feel that Tom’s character is indeed a little too immature. So, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for him to put himself through the mill for three years. If you were to continue to allow him to continue hanging around in the entertainment industry like this, I’m afraid that it’d be even more difficult for him to achieve success in the future.”Zacheus said seriously, “Sigh. You’re right! I already asked him not to engage in this kind of hypocritical thing a long time ago, but that kid simply refused to listen to my advice. If he did not enter the entertainment industry, he naturally would not have gotten into such trouble

Carmen hurriedly said, “Don’t be in such a hurry. I’d like to trouble you with another matter. Tom’s father would like to talk to him on the phone. Do you think that it’d be convenient for you?”“Talk on the phone?” Charlie frowned before he glanced at Tom, who was kneeling on the ground in fear and trepidation, as he turned on the speaker directly and said, “How about this? Tell his father that he can talk to him over the phone, but he will only be able to talk to him for up to two minutes. Will that be fine?”“Yes.”Very soon, Zacheus, who had received Carmen’s reply, called Tom’s cell phone.After Charlie answered the call, he immediately turned on the speakerphone as he handed the cell phone over to Tom.Zacheus, who was on the other end of the line, asked tentatively, “Tom, are you there?”When Tom heard his father’s voice, he broke down emotionally as he cried and said, “Dad! Save me, Dad! There is a man here who wants to send me off to work as a crew member on a ship for t
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 2989
As soon as Zacheus heard these words, he immediately felt extremely embarrassed over the other end of the line, and he had goosebumps all over his body.Immediately after that, Zacheus hurriedly denied, “Young Master Wade, you have misunderstood us. The relationship between your aunt and I is really just that of a relationship between an old classmate and friend. There is truly absolutely no inappropriate relationship between the both of us…”Carmen had not divorced her original spouse yet. So, Zacheus naturally did not dare to expose the true nature of his relationship with Carmen. Otherwise, if word about this matter were to get out to the public, both he and Carmen would not only be publicly disgraced, but the Wade family would definitely force Carmen to cut off all ties with him in order to maintain their own image and reputation. Even if Carmen truly loved him and insisted on getting married to him, the Wade family would never be able to agree to it because they would never be

The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What

At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav

The cabbie nodded. "Well, Talbot Associates, it is! They're said to be number two."-While Jacob was heading off to consult a law firm, Charlie was calling Julien Rothschild over the phone.The manchild had just had room service and was lounging on the couch, fiddling with his phone.After visiting the kennels with Charlie, he had been idling his days away at the hotel, waiting for Salem and his son to post that video of them being out at sea.Once that was done, Julien would return to the States, once more the heir apparent of the Rothschilds. Still, it was boring to simply lounge around in the hotel, and he would really like to strengthen his ties with Charlie.However, he was also afraid of being too forward as Charlie could be intimidating, and he could upset him—just like a fan eager to get close to their idol but was still worried about their idol getting disgusted with them.As such, he never expected Charlie to call him, and he immediately answered eagerly, "Good even

Pausing, Mr. Bay continued, "If they're not that upset with the idea, I'll bang my gavel and make the call so that you can at least stay as a vice president."If they keep refusing, I just have to promote Mr. Zonda to become a vice president while you take over his position of head-of-department as insurance. What do you think?"Jacob certainly wouldn't protest the idea of insurance, especially when he thought he would be forced to leave the Calligraphy and Painting Association altogether earlier. He quickly exclaimed gratefully, "Thank you so much, Mr. Bay!"Mr. Bay chuckled, clearly relieved as well. "Come on, Jacob—you don't have to be so formal. I'm like a brother to you! Don't you think that's what I should be doing?"Jacob laughed earnestly for once. "Well, brother, I'm honestly relieved…" He trailed off but soon pressed on, "But I have to ask, won't the other members have things to say even if you manage to persuade the other vice presidents? What if they remain unhappy?

There were times when making a person despair to some extent could be a people-strategy.For example, when your distant acquaintance asked for a ten grand loan but you could only lend him one, you couldn't tell him directly that. It would make them think you were being insincere.The better option would be to tell them how you were worse off than they were and had a debt yourself, or that some other friend had borrowed money for three years and never repaid it.And when that mere acquaintance was in despair, you could tell them that if it was really important, you could lend them one thousand with a credit card loan.That way, while the mere acquaintance wouldn't exactly be awash with gratitude, they at least wouldn't complain about your lack of sincerity.That was exactly what Mr. Bay was doing.He had no intention of offending Jacob, but he also couldn't directly tell him to give up on claiming the position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Otherwise, Ja

Jacob felt absolutely horrible just then, and he certainly did not expect Don Albert to give him the cold shoulder.If he had known, he would have just stayed content with the 200 thousand he had made and enjoyed his trip to Dubai! If he had, the Calligraphy and Painting Association wouldn't have found out about the bronze sculpture plot, and Don Albert would still be on friendly terms with him.Absolutely regretting everything, Jacob got in the backseat of the cab, tears of grief almost welling up and out of his eyes.Then, noticing that the cabbie was quietly watching him from the rearview mirror, he turned his face aside, whipped out his phone, and called Mr. Bay.As soon as Mr. Bay answered, he asked, "How did things go over there? Have you sorted out Zachary Evans yet?"He was waiting for Jacob to ask Don Albert for help so that the latter would pressure Zachary into posting a statement retracting his previous claims.However, Jacob knew full well that there was no hope for

Ramond replied, "I'm not planning on getting my name out there—I was just thinking I could start slow from one shop, but now, I'm suddenly so popular everyone's consulting me for appraisals, so I guess that's the short end of this."Either way, I'm planning to let things cool off by opening the shop late and closing early. That way, I'd receive fewer customers, and the hype will die down in a month."Once it does, I'll lead a slow life, which is perfect in Aurous Hill since it's how things are here. I'm not aiming to get rich or expand my business, and it's a comfortable life, so I plan to retire here."Charlie nodded. "The Rothschilds are relatively manageable, but I'm not sure if the Qing Eliminating Society is still looking for you and the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. You'll be completely free once they are wiped out.""And I'm sure with your abilities, Mr. Wade, that day will soon arrive." Raymond smiled and soon remembered. "By the way, you probably haven't had dinner yet, right

Charlie was never one who covered up misdeeds, and what Jacob had done reflected his corrupted character and clear refusal to feel remorse.As such, Charlie naturally refused to offer any help, completely giving up and allowing Jacob to keep going off on his own tangent, tearing himself apart in the process.Still, Raymond did put a good word in for Jacob. "Actually, one can understand Mr. Wilson's motives from a certain point of view. I was the one who set him up so that he broke that vase, and had him beaten up so that we didn't arouse suspicion. He has every reason to bear a grudge."Charlie sighed, nodding. "There's no issue with holding a grudge or getting revenge—in fact, I have no problem with him trying to salvage some pride. However, what he did was unseemly, and he doesn't know when to stop."He didn't lose anything before Zachary exposed everything. Even if he had missed a killer deal, he bought it off someone's hand in the first place and made two hundred grand in clean

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
