Chapter 299

Author: Lord Leaf
Everyone on the scene was shocked when Charlie unlocked the Aston Martin ONE-77 with the smart bracelet key.

They could only exclaim in their hearts: The Aston Martin ONE-77 actually belonged to Charlie!

Jason was also dumbfounded at this time. What was happening?!

Wasn’t Charlie just a broke son-in-law?

How could he possibly afford to buy such an expensive car?!

Jessica was also stunned. “This… this is unbelievable. How could this man possibly afford to buy an Aston Martin ONE-77 when he was such a poor and useless man?”

Then, Charlie led Claire to the passenger seat before smiling and saying, “My dear wife, why don’t you get into the car? I will take you for a spin!”

Claire looked at Charlie with a confused expression on her face as she asked, “Charlie, is this car really yours?”

Charlie nodded. “Of course. The key is already in my hand. Why would I lie to you?”

After saying that, Charlie quickly whispered into her ear, “Wife, to be honest, Graham lent this car to me so that

    Jessica was also beaten until her hair was disheveled and her mouth was crooked at this time. Jason could not help but yell out in pain.After beating them up, Luke ordered the security guards to throw them out of the exhibition hall.Jason lay on the concrete floor as he yelled angrily, “D*mn it! Who the hell is this Mr. Wade?!”Jessica also said angrily, “He is just the son-in-law of the Wilson family. I think that he is just a driver. How could he possibly have any status at all?!”Blood was already spewing out of Jason’s mouth as he yelled, “That useless piece of trash! I will never let him off so easily.”Gritting his teeth, he continued, “And Claire! She will never be able to escape from me!”Therefore, the Aston Martin ONE-77 was driven out of the exhibition hall just like that.The super luxurious sports car aroused the attention and curiosity of countless people on the street.Claire also felt that it was a very thrilling and novel experience as this was her first time

    After sending his text message, Charlie kept receiving text replies.The first to reply was Jasmine. “Mr. Wade, don’t worry! I will definitely come over to congratulate your wife tomorrow!”After that, Graham replied: “Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Wade. I will definitely come over to join you for the opening ceremony tomorrow!”Zeke replied: “Mr. Wade, I will make sure to bring my son and nephew along with me to congratulate your wife tomorrow! After all, I really want those two rascals to apologize to you in person…”In fact, everyone was very excited to receive Charlie’s invitation because they felt that it was a good opportunity for them to get closer to him.Claire initially had some qualms about her opening ceremony tomorrow. She would never have expected her husband to prepare a grand opening ceremony for her!After getting back home, Claire quickly washed up so that she could rest earlier and prepare for the opening ceremony of her studio tomorrow morning.Charlie al

    Claire nodded, the frown between her eyes indicating her anxiety.Soon, from the outside passage, Lady Wilson’s slow walking pace sounded, paired with the sound of her cane hitting the floor. Behind her were Christopher, Harold, and Wendy.Harold, who was beaten up and arrested some time ago, had just been bailed out by Lady Wilson from the police station. Thus, he was full of resentment and hatred as he glared at Charlie.Charlie, of course, couldn’t care less.Today was his wife’s office’s opening ceremony, he didn’t want to have any conflict with these hooligans. He would not jump on them as long as they kept themselves decent.Wendy walked ahead and sneered, “Claire, you didn’t even say hi to grandma, when did you become so rude?”Claire replied flatly, “I was kicked out of the Wilson family, so, in other words, we are not related!”“D*mn it!” Lady Wilson banged her cane to the ground hard and said furiously, “You are a descendant of the Wilson family, and we are related by

    Harold smirked and said in a sarcastic tone, “Charlie, go ahead with your drama. I bet your so-called acquaintances are just some low-life gangsters and nobodies. Do you really think you’re so influential and powerful? I don’t believe you’re able to invite any prominent figures!”Wendy chimed in the sarcastic bandwagon. “A loser like Charlie is best at bragging. If no one attends your opening ceremony, you and this office will become Aurous Hill’s laughing stocks. Let’s see how you’ll get jobs or projects then!”Claire didn’t show any expression as she listened to the insults but anxiety slowly brewed in her heart.To put it bluntly, opening ceremonies were occasions that displayed company owners’ network connections and resources.If many guests were to attend the opening ceremony, it would show that the company had a strong business network and foundation especially if VIPs were among the guests. Such news would spread around their circle and many people would regard the company

    He was perplexed and casual though. He had already sent an invitation to Emgrand Group, so Doris Young would and must attend.She was probably preparing the gift since she was not here yet!Christopher put on a pompous expression and said, “Well, do you still think you’re so well connected?”It was almost ten o’clock. If there were any guests coming, they would have arrived at the door by then.However, the entrance was empty and quiet. Apparently, no one would show up.Wendy said in a cocky tone, “Dad, the loser said it doesn’t matter if they have no guests today, he alone is enough. I wonder how powerful he is? Does he really think he’s a somebody here in Aurous Hill?”At this moment, the voice from the front desk resonated from a distance away. It seemed that she deliberately raised her voice.“Announcing the arrival of Mr. Travis Lane of Lancaster…”Travis Lane?Charlie was a little bewildered. The last time he had met Travis was when the White family brought Jack Yaleman

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 305

    Travis Lane’s remarks sent a shock wave across the office and the Wilson family members blinked in astonishment.Did he actually come to congratulate Claire?!He was the richest man in Lancaster!When and how did Charlie and Claire strike up the relationship with him?!Christopher was utterly shocked. He had never expected the man to be so rude to him and snap at him right in front of everyone. Embarrassed, he quickly retreated and stood aside.Wendy frowned in confusion and whispered to Harold, “Hey, is this chubby man really the richest man in Lancaster? Why does he feel like an actor hired to impersonate as a ploy to fool us? Why would any prominent figure be so kind and respectful to a loser…”Harold shook his head and whispered back, “Yeah, I don’t think he’s real too…”None of the people present had ever seen Travis Lane before, but they had heard the rumors about his notoriety and strictness in managing his business. The man looked nothing like the version in the rumors a

    The entire building started to get very lively and chaotic out of sudden. A simple opening ceremony had created such an extravagant scene that even involved a helicopter!Everyone poked their heads to look at the few people standing in front of the office.Claire was in a daze. She had indeed invited some people, but they were not very close to her and she didn’t know anyone who could afford a helicopter.Someone in the crowd exclaimed, “Isn’t that flower basket the legendary Tiffany limited edition? I heard that one flower basket costs more than one million dollars!”“Wow, look at all those flowers! I don’t think I’ve ever seen them before, they’re so beautiful!”“These are Dutch tulips! The exclusive Dutch tulips are very expensive, a single bulb can cost anywhere from thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars! And there’s even Blue Enchantress Hydrangeas and Juliet roses…wow, these are all rare flowers! You can’t cultivate them here in our country, they can only be airlift

    A passage appeared immediately as the crowd of onlookers made way and stood to the side as if there were invisible barriers.Doris and Jasmine, two charming belles who donned very formal and elegant dresses with smiles on their faces, walking side by side from outside towards the door.Behind them were Zeke White along with Kevin and Gerald, Graham Quinton along with Aurora and Adam, and Anthony Simmons and his granddaughter Xyla. They walked in a group like a team of Avengers.Albert Rhodes walked behind the pack.Wendy’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief as she stared at the scene.These people were all prominent figures in Aurous Hill that rarely appeared in public places, but they gathered here to congratulate Claire, which made her envious and agitated!She was always on her high horse previously with her background as the daughter of a wealthy family and one of the most outstanding young people in the city. She was pretty and attractive, tall and slim, and she was regarde

    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

    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
