The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3108
Ten minutes later, Quinn, who had changed into a casual outfit, got into the car with her parents as they headed to the airport. On the way, Quinn kept chatting with her mother, Rachel.As a woman, Rachel had many questions in her heart that she wanted to ask Quinn. However, her first question was, “Nana, when did you order the wedding dress that you wore tonight behind our backs?”Quinn grinned as she said, “Mom, you know Vera Wang, right?”“Yes, I do.” Rachel nodded. “Isn’t that the independent brand of the Oskian-American designer, Vera Ellen Wang? She is very popular in Europe and the United States in recent years, and even the daughters of the former United States President Clinton and Bush also wore her dresses when they got married. Did you also order your wedding dress from her?”Quinn laughed and said, “A few years ago, she had already announced that she would no longer be personally making wedding dresses for others. However, I invited her over here from the United Stat

When Quinn heard this, she suddenly tensed up and became very nervous as she blurted out, “Dad, I... I did not cause any trouble for Brother Charlie, right?!”At this time, Rachel spoke up, “I think that it should not be a bad thing even if the Acker family finds out that Charlie is still alive. Charlie’s grandparents are still alive, and they are still in charge of the Acker family. So, they should only be happy if they find out that Charlie is still alive. They would never see Charlie as a threat. Perhaps they might even be able to bring more resources and opportunities to Charlie after they reconcile with him.”As she spoke, Rachel then added, “Even if the Acker family does not have much affection or feelings for Charlie, no matter what it is, there is still a blood relationship there. At most, they would not interfere with each other’s lives. They would definitely not take the initiative to come and find fault with Charlie.”Yule thought about it, and he heaved a sigh of relief

...At this time, Charlie and his wife, Claire, had already returned home.Claire was holding onto her cell phone as she participated in the new campaign in the first place on the hot search on the internet, where millions of fans were jointly requesting for Quinn to continue staying in the entertainment industry because she was still quite unable to accept the fact that Quinn was suddenly going to permanently retire from the entertainment industry.As she was busy swiping on her cell phone to show her support, Charlie came out to the courtyard alone and made a phone call to Yule.He knew that Yule was going to leave Aurous Hill and return to Eastcliff tonight. However, since his wife was there at the concert venue just now and since there were simply too many people around, Charlie did not have much interaction with Yule at all. So, he hurriedly called Yule because he wanted to wish him and Rachel a safe trip home.As soon as the call was connected, Yule laughed heartily and said

Charlie could not help but feel a little desolate because Quinn had already left.At this time, the courtyard was silent, and the weather was a little cold. Charlie sighed even more as he looked up at the moonlight and the stars in the sky.He would never have imagined that Quinn’s concert would come to an end in this manner. As Charlie thought back on those old pictures from the concert, he was very touched as well as ashamed deep inside his heart.Although Charlie had been through a lot of hardships over the years, Charlie could be considered to have led a carefree life with no worries about having no food or clothing because of Stephen’s secret protection when he was still in the orphanage. It was only that his material conditions were simply a little tougher.Still, Charlie would never have thought that Quinn and her family were sparing no efforts in order to find out about his whereabouts during these years when he was going through all these hardships.Charlie already felt v

Claire had originally wanted to continue harping on the same thing. According to Claire’s thoughts, as long as she could gradually see an improvement in her company, Charlie could also gradually reduce his Feng Shui reading business, or even stop engaging in this aspect of things as much as possible.However, after hearing Charlie say these things, she put away her own rhetorical thoughts and said helplessly, “Husband, since that is the case, you must pay more attention to yourself, then.”Charlie smiled slightly and nodded as he said, “Don’t worry, Wife. I will.”Claire was gratified, and she smiled as she said, “It’s getting late. Let’s hurry up and go back to our room to sleep.”“Okay!”***Late at night, while Charlie and Claire were cuddling and sleeping together, a woman cautiously walked out from the Moore family villa into the large courtyard without making any noise.It was already half past one in the morning, but Nanako was not asleep. Instead, she came out to the cou

When Jasmine heard Nanako’s question, she said seriously, “I actually know very little about Master Wade’s past. I met him for the first time last year in one of our family’s antique stores. At that time, Master Wade was not famous in Aurous Hill, and he was just a live-in son-in-law with a very low status in his family.”As she spoke of this, Jasmine then spoke up, “But although Master Wade is very young, he had mastered an antique restoration technique that had already been long lost. This really made me feel very shocked. At that time, I felt that this man should have some unknown story.”Nanako nodded. “There are indeed many shocking things about Charlie-kun, but what I want to know the most is about Charlie-kun’s childhood. For instance, where exactly he came from, and how he ended up becoming an orphan. Was he abandoned by his parents after he was born, did he lose his parents after he was born, or whether he only became an orphan after he lost his parents at a certain point in

However, after Claire busily talked on her cell phone as she was eating, she then said to Charlie excitedly, “Husband, Miss Jasmine from the Moore family has asked me to go to Moore Group to discuss the project collaboration with her!”Charlie was not surprised because Jasmine had already expressed this intention very clearly yesterday.In Charlie’s opinion, the reason why Jasmine was doing this was definitely because she wanted to repay Charlie for his help by helping Claire to build up and establish her own business.So, Charlie did not think too much about it and asked her, “Then, should I send you to Moore Group or somewhere else after we’re done with breakfast later?”“To Moore Group!” Claire replied without any hesitation at all. “Miss Moore is the chairman of Moore Group now, so she should be able to make the decision directly with regards to the project collaboration. So, I have to hurry up and talk to her to see if we can put the collaboration in place as soon as possible.
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3115
However, Claire knew very well in her heart that it would be impossible for her to collaborate with Moore Group on projects that were worth a total investment of tens of billions of dollars at one go based on her current strength and ability.The overall strength of her company now was still far from the scale of that of a large design company. Moreover, she still had the project with Emgrand Group on hand, so the energy that she could spare was even more limited. Claire estimated that she would at most be able to take on only one-fifth of the projects that Jasmine had brought out, which were worth tens of billions of dollars. But even if it was just one-fifth, it was still a very large piece of cake. The design fee alone was already around forty million dollars. Just as Claire was still feeling extremely excited about this, Jasmine, who was opposite her, was actually thinking about how she could somehow lead the conversation topic to Charlie without arousing Claire’s suspicio

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

Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300

"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom

"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
