The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3053
Charlie was extraordinarily gratified and relieved as he looked at these three people who were at least five to six years younger in body, spirit, and outlook. He had always been alone ever since his parents had passed away, and he had never experienced what it felt like to have a real family.Although Charlie had gained a family after he had married Claire, back then, the Wilson family members treated him even worse than they would have treated an outsider. Only his wife, Claire, truly treated him like a family member. But when had any other members from the Wilson family ever treated him like their own family?Even though his mother-in-law and father-in-law’s attitude toward him was very good now, Charlie knew very well in his heart that he himself had used various benefits and favors in exchange for all of this. It was naturally a huge difference as compared to Yule’s family.After all, the feelings that Yule and his family of three had for Charlie came from the bottom of their

Charlie felt that there was a sense of déjà vu as he stared at these two cute dolls. However, he could not remember where exactly he had seen them before.At this time, Quinn, who was beside him, looked at Charlie with a smile on her face as she asked, “Brother Charlie, do you think these two children look familiar to you?”Charlie nodded repeatedly and said, “Yes, they look familiar. They look very familiar, but I suddenly cannot seem to remember where exactly I have seen them before.”Rachel, who was aside, smiled happily as she said, “Silly boy, aren’t they you and Nana? This was the both of you when you were young. Moreover, this was on your 6th birthday!”Charlie could not help but exclaim, “Really? I felt that it looked really familiar, but I do not seem to have any specific memories of the scene at that time.”Rachel nodded. After that, she took out a photo album from her handbag.After that, she flipped through the album and found an old and yellowed picture before handin

When Charlie heard that they were not supposed to eat the fondant dolls, he felt slightly relieved. Otherwise, if he really had to eat the fondant dolls of Quinn and himself when they were young, that would feel a little strange indeed.Quinn, who was next to him, looked at him affectionately before she said softly, “Brother Charlie, I’ll sing you a happy birthday song like I always did when we were young! You can make a birthday wish while I am singing, and you can blow out the candles when I’m done singing.”Charlie nodded gently as he smiled slightly and said, “Okay!”Quinn adjusted her breathing slightly before she started singing softly and affectionately, “Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday dear Charlie~ Happy~ Birthday~ To~ You~”At this point, Charlie clasped his hands together as he closed his eyes and silently made a small wish.He did not have any material desires now, and his biggest wish was to find out the truth behind his parents’ death so

Charlie was very touched in his heart, and he smiled and said, “Uncle Golding, how can you just celebrate a few more birthdays with me? You should make it a few dozen at least, right?”Yule laughed and said heartily, “Yes! Celebrate dozens of times!” During the time when they were drinking and socializing, both Charlie and Yule had already drunk a catty of liquor each. However, both of them were only slightly drunk.Even Rachel, who originally could not hold her liquor, did not show any discomfort at all even after drinking a whole bottle of red wine by herself. On the contrary, Rachel felt very happy the whole time because of the effect of the alcohol. Her cheeks were slightly reddish under the effect of the alcohol, and coupled with the fact that she had just taken the Rejuvenating Pill, she had a rosy complexion, and she looked extremely charming and lovely.Yule looked at his wife, and he was slightly startled. He could not help but exclaim admiringly, “Wife, when I look at

Charlie was a little startled for a moment when he heard Rachel’s question.This was the second time Charlie had heard someone asking him if he wanted to go to the United States to look for his grandparents. Moreover, the last person to ask him this question was Quinn.So, Charlie told Rachel what he had already said to Quinn before. He indicated that he did not wish to disturb his grandparents, whom he had not seen for twenty years, and whom he had only met just a few times before.When Rachel heard these words, although she could understand Charlie from the depths of her heart, it could be seen from her expression that she still felt more or less sorry for Charlie.After hesitating for a moment, Rachel said seriously, “Charlie, in truth, for so many years, you are not the only person who has been searching for the truth behind your parents’ murder. Your Uncle Golding and I have also been trying every possible way to find out the mastermind behind the incident back then whilst i

Charlie hoped that he would be able to reach the peak and have an awe-inspiring view from a very high place in the future. However, he would prefer to be able to climb up entirely based on his own ability rather than relying on others to achieve his success.The meal went on very smoothly and naturally under this kind of family atmosphere.After the meal, Charlie used his Reiki to dissipate all the alcohol from his body, and after confirming that he would not have anything to do with drunk driving, he drove Quinn to the performance venue first before driving Yule and Rachel back to Shangri-La. The couple had a lot of things to do. So, they would be taking a short break at the hotel in the afternoon before they would have to fly back to Eastcliff overnight after watching Quinn’s concert at the venue at night.After Charlie heard of their plan, he spoke up and said, “Uncle Golding, Aunt Golding, why don’t the both of you just rest at Shangri-La for the night instead of being so ha

After sending Yule and Rachel to Shangri-La and entrusting them over to Isaac so that he could host them, Charlie then drove back to his Thompson First villa.At this time, it was only around two in the afternoon. Charlie had thought that his wife, Claire, would not be done until about three or four o’clock in the afternoon. So, he figured that he would go home first before going to pick her up when she was almost done.However, unexpectedly, when Charlie arrived at home, his wife, Claire, his father-in-law, Jacob, and his mother-in-law, Elaine, were all already busy in the kitchen.When Charlie saw that Claire was actually at home, he asked in surprise, “Wife, when did you come home? Why didn’t you tell me so that I could go and pick you up?”Claire smiled and said, “I sped up my progress a little. I arrived home at two o’clock in the afternoon. I came back earlier because I wanted to prepare a birthday dinner for you today.”Elaine was holding a huge king crab with both of her h

Charlie nodded. “Yes.”The other party then handed him a square box with a side length of about fifty centimeters and said, “This is the cake that Miss Wilson has ordered. Please sign for it.”Charlie took the cake, and just as he was about to sign on the slip, the other party reminded him, “You should open it and take a look first. I will bring it back to the cake shop directly if there is a problem. Otherwise, if you sign for it and then complain about it when you find a problem with it later, at that time, delivery men like us will also have to take the responsibility for it.”Charlie did not think too much, and he untied the red ribbon on the cake box. After opening the top cover of the box carefully, a beautiful double-layer cake came into his view.This cake did not look as luxurious and exquisite as Quinn’s custom-made five-layer cake, and there were also no vivid and lifelike fondant dolls on the top of the cake. It was only a moderate-looking cake, but there was a line of

"Five hundred grand?"Mick chuckled. "Well, the sculpture looks Renaissance, and the craftsmanship as well as the material are all ideal. It would sell for up to two million in an auction, while established antique traders like us could offer up to a million. So, why the lowball?"Bill sighed. "I won't lie—it belonged to my old man, who just croaked this afternoon. But you see, he left a will stating that every antique in the house would be given to my brother… Since he's playing favorites, I thought I had to get something for myself.""That's why I quietly sneaked this baby out without anyone else knowing and am trying to sell it quickly to change my own circumstances. You don't have to tell me how many millions it's worth—I'm not that greedy. Give me five hundred grand, and it's yours."Mick shrugged as he shot back, "If it's as you say and your old man intended for your brother to have it, the fact that you sneaked it out here makes this theft. Do you think I'd buy stolen proper

It was half past six, and the skies were darkening when a figure hurried into Antique Street, heading straight toward the center—to Vintage Deluxe.Mick Crane, the manager, was holding the fort with some of his employees, and there were some guests window shopping there as well. As Mick asked the employees to assist the guests, he waited anxiously for Billy—Zachary's henchman.Nonetheless, a certain figure rushed inside within minutes, asking eagerly as he entered, "Is the manager in? Do you still buy antiques?""Yes, and yes!" Mick exclaimed as he approached Billy enthusiastically, asking, "May I ask what you're planning to sell?"Billy looked around before sneakily holding up a parcel wrapped in red cloth, carefully lifting a corner to reveal an edge so that Mick could see.Then, he promptly lowered the cloth again, whispering, "This is the good stuff. I'm just not sure if you have the money to buy it."Mick grinned. "What are you saying? If it's something Vintage Deluxe coul

Jacob chuckled. "Can't tell you right now. But I will once it's done.""Well, have you decided when we're going to Dubai?" Elaine quickly pressed.Jacob said, "I'd have to wait until tonight to see if this deal works, but we're leaving first thing tomorrow. I'll get the tickets first, and we will be staying at the Burj Al-Arab that I told you about. People are always saying how amazing it is on the internet every day, seeing how luxurious the seven-star hotel is, but I'll be the judge of that."Elaine was overjoyed to hear that. "That's amazing! And I was just thinking we can't go sooner! Go about your business, then. I'll pack our luggage right away."Jacob chuckled smugly. "Don't pack so much, though. Just stick to the necessities, since we can get the rest over there!""Alright!" Elaine exclaimed, beside herself in excitement. "Alright, you hurry up and get your thing done over there. I'll start packing now!"After hanging up, Elaine called Charlie, who was in Champs Elys Reso

As Zachary agreed to do a favor for Vintage Deluxe's Mick Crane in passing, he and Jacob agreed to meet up at 7pm at the car park by Antique Street.He first took Jacob back to the Calligraphy and Painting Association and called Billy, one of his boys whom he thought was smarter than the rest, giving him the gist of the plan and telling him to familiarize himself with the script.Then, he took the sculpture back to Heaven Springs and met up with Billy in office, telling Billy what to do in finer detail and making sure he committed everything to memory.Zachary's strength as a judge of character certainly proved itself—Billy had never done anything like this before, but he took to the plan like fish to water. He committed the script to memory soon enough, and he was flawless.Once he made sure that Billy was fine, Zachary called Mick.As soon as Mick answered, he immediately asked, "Hello, Mr. Evans. How is that thing we talked about going?"Zachary chuckled. All the arrangements

Zachary continued, "Why do you think casinos are always making a profit? It's exactly because no matter how unassuming a guest is the first time, they would be allowed to win a couple of hands, making a little profit.""And suddenly, they would think that they are the chosen one, destined to win against all odds and always come out triumphant! Once such radical, blind confidence hits them, every last bit of his money would be lost to the casino!""At that point, you can get anything from them—their house, their wife, their children… hell, they'd be willing to die if you'd just let them gamble again!"Turning toward Jacob with a grin, Zachary then asked, "So, with all the points I made and that sculpture you're holding… Do you still think Raymond wouldn't fall for it?"Jacob laughed out loud. "Oh, talk about a plan within a plan! No one would ever see it coming! Raymond Cole is so screwed!"Zachary smiled and nodded. "That's why there's no reason to rush—I'll arrange a man to get r

As soon as they drove out of the village, Jacob asked Zachary eagerly, "So, when do you think we should make our move? I can't wait!"Zachary didn't hesitate, "Let's do it today. It's better than waiting! I'll get someone reliable to bring this to Treasure Measure and get him interested. I'm sure that since he has just returned to Antique Street, he'll need a hot deal to generate hype and make himself known. That's why I'm sure he'll take this sculpture."Jacob nodded repeatedly as he chuckled. "I think so too. Today is definitely best since I'll be going to Dubai soon and probably leaving once I'm done with this. Once you get this settled by the end of today, I'll get tickets for the flight tomorrow!"Zachary grinned. "Don't worry, chief. We will definitely get it settled today…"He trailed off for a moment before continuing, "Still, you should be a little patient. We should do this in the evening—at the second just before Raymond Cole closes shop.""But why?" Jacob asked in curi

Jacob was naturally gleeful that he could get the late medieval bronze sculpture along with its base. Right after he wired the agreed upon ninety-eight grand to Mr. Cardensky, he was already imagining how Raymond would buy it from him for several hundred grand.On the other hand, once Mr. Cardensky received the transfer, he saw the name on the account: Jacob Wilson.He was left perplexed—wasn't that man's last name Montague? Who was this Jacob Wilson?Still, he didn't worry about it too much since most antique hustlers preferred to work with anonymity and therefore, using a different name was perfectly normal.He then carefully wrapped up the bronze sculpture before passing it Jacob, asking politely, "Would you happen to have any other requests, Mr. Montague? I have plenty of other items here if you'd permit me to give an introduction."Jacob shook his head, "Just this sculpture will do. I'm not fully confident in your work either since this is our first deal, so I'm just trying i

Jacob asked, "Then, what would this sculpture be worth if it was genuine?"Mr. Cardensky thought about it. "Well, there are standards when it comes to Renaissance relics, but with something this exquisite, it'd definitely be auctionable for one or two million—and that's the conservative estimate.""How much would you sell it to me for?" Jacob then asked."Thirty percent of the market price," Mr. Cardensky quickly replied. "As I've said, the conservative estimate for this one is around one to two million, so we will set the price with the median estimate value at 1.5 million. And thirty percent means 450 grand."Jacob shook his head right away. "No, no, no… that's too expensive. What if I end up unable to sell it, on top of that?"In his mind, while he could barely accept that pricing, he still needed Raymond to be able to afford it if he wanted to swindle Raymond for twice the money.Mr. Cardensky quickly chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Montague—now you're being too serious. In this business,

"Okay!"Mr. Cardensky smiled and pointed at a nearby farmyard. "There's our workshop—the good stuff is all in there. Allow me to take you there!"The farmyard seemed uninteresting at first glance, but Mr. Cardensky soon led them to the stables and brushed off the straws covering the floor, revealing a plank laid flat on the ground.Mr. Cardensky then lifted it, revealing a passage below—they had dug a cellar into the ground beneath, with the stables as an entry point.As Jacob followed Mr. Cardensky down the cellar, he exclaimed in awe, "Your operation is definitely big, digging such a huge cellar!"Mr. Cardensky smiled humbly. "Anyone working in the business would have sustained their losses before. In the end, we're all folk of humble origins, starting out with raiding tombs or excavating artifacts. Just digging a cellar is really nothing."As they conversed, they cleared the stairs and arrived at the main hall.It was certainly a hall as it was around a hundred square meters,
