As she thought about it, Claire calmed down a little before handing the cash cheque over to Charlie. “Keep it properly and make sure that you burn it for your dad tonight. Don’t mix it up with any other cash cheques in the future! Otherwise, who knows if something bad might happen?”Charlie nodded in a hurry before he said, “Don’t worry, dear. I know I should be more careful in the future.”After that, Charlie hurriedly took out the cheque for the one hundred and eighty thousand dollars before handing it over to Elaine and saying, “Mom, this is the real cheque. Here, take it!”Charlie continued flattering Elaine as he said, “Mom! Fortunately, you realized my mistake! Otherwise, we would undoubtedly lose out on a lot of money if I burned the wrong cheque!”Elaine glared at him furiously. If it weren’t for the one hundred and eighty thousand dollar cheque, she would not have let him off so easily.However, who would say no to money? She had to take the cheque and keep the remaining

Charlie frowned immediately.He was not a member of the Wilson family. He did not have the so-called family-bond and blood relations with them. Therefore, he could tell at a single glance that Lady Wilson was up to one of her bitter tricks once again.The Wilson family was now in a desperate situation. If they could not revive the Wilson Group, it would unquestionably fall apart, and the old lady would instantly fall from the top to the bottom.Lady Wilson was someone who had worried about her face and reputation all her life, and she would rather die than accept the fact that she would be poor and destitute. Therefore, she had to wrack her brain to find a way to turn things around for the Wilson family.First, she had tried to bully and trick Claire into joining the Wilson Group again. However, Claire did not give in to her request.After that, she had tried using money to try to get a breakthrough from Elaine. However, Elaine failed to convince Claire into returning to the Wilso

Christopher hurriedly agreed before he said, “Yes, Claire. I think that it is very important for your father to build up his health again. He should recuperate in a good environment with a good mood! So, why don’t you listen to your grandmother and come back to live in the Wilson family villa? I will also hire a few nannies to take care of your father twenty-four hours a day!”Jacob, who was lying on the hospital bed at this time, felt extremely moved when he heard what his mother and brother had just said.His heart felt a little shaken, and he could not help but say, “Claire, why don’t we move back, then…”Claire felt a little conflicted.She did not know whether her grandmother was being sincere or whether she was just pretending.However, when she saw her grandmother, father, and uncle holding hands and crying together, she also felt very touched.She had to think of her father. If he could move back into the Wilson family villa and live in a comfortable environment with a ca

To expose their true colors, Charlie said, “I already said that it is no problem for all of us to move back into the Wilson family villa. After all, we are family. However, Claire’s studio is already operating, and so, I would like to remind everyone in advance that Claire will not be returning to work for the Wilson Group in the future.”“What?” Lady Wilson yelled out loud. It seemed as though someone had just stepped on her tail. She jumped up in an instant before she said, “How could I allow that to happen? I’ve already said that the whole family should not only be living together, but we should also cooperate and work hard together so that the Wilson family can be strong and powerful. How can you come back to the Wilson family villa but not work for the Wilson Group, then?”Charlie smiled before he replied, “Grandma, didn’t you say that the reason why you are inviting us to move back into the Wilson family villa is because of my father-in-law’s health? I thought that you simply w

Lady Wilson trembled as she walked toward Claire and knelt directly in front of her!Everyone in the ward was shocked at this time!Who would have ever imagined that the haughty and arrogant Lady Wilson would kneel in front of Claire?This truly was a shock to everyone!Even Christopher did not expect his mother to actually be willing to kneel in front of Claire and beg, just so that she would be able to trick Claire into going back to work for the Wilson Group.She had been so strong and arrogant throughout her entire life, always trying to control and manipulate everyone around her. How could she possibly kneel in front of someone else like this? Why would she kneel in front of Claire?Claire was also surprised and dumbfounded at this time. She quickly replied, “Grandma, what are you doing now?! Please get up! We can amicably discuss things.”Lady Wilson continued kneeling in front of Claire before she said apologetically, “Claire, what your grandmother did in the past was wro

Lady Wilson became flustered as soon as Charlie suddenly exposed her true motives.She thought that she would be able to deal with Claire’s family easily, and she thought that it would be especially easy to deal with Charlie since he was nothing but a piece of trash. Lady Wilson thought that it would not be that difficult at all and thought that Charlie would certainly feel grateful and happy as long as Harold and Wendy apologized to him.However, she did not expect Charlie to be the one to see right through her act.When she saw that her true motives had already been exposed, Lady Wilson hesitated for a moment before she said, “We are all family here, so we should all be working together so that our family can prosper! Wouldn’t it be a joke to the public if word spreads that our family is running two different companies?”Charlie sneered before he replied, “The richest man in Hong Kong, Li Ka-Shing, and his son are also running two completely different companies. So, is anyone mak

Albert replied instantly, “Mr. Wade, I have men all over Aurous Hill. I have men in most of the nightclubs, bars, karaoke bars, and construction sites. As long as you give me the order, I will instruct my men to hunt that person down and kill him immediately! I will make sure that I send men out on the streets to look for him every day and I will make sure that he wishes that he had never been born in this life!”Harold was so frightened at this moment and quickly knelt in front of Charlie as he cried and begged for his life. “Charlie, Charlie, my good brother-in-law, I was just joking around with you. Please just disregard me and just let me go. Please…”Charlie glanced at Harold coldly and asked, “Why? You’re not pretending to be indestructible anymore?”“No, no. I will not pretend anymore. I will not pretend anymore…” Harold replied immediately. He was already scared to death, how could he possibly dare to act in front of Charlie any longer?If Don Albert gave his men the order
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 333
As soon as he heard Charlie’s words, Harold, who was kneeling on the ground, was already frightened to death. He cried out as he hurriedly said, “Grandma, hurry up and tell them the truth! Please tell Charlie the truth now! If you don’t, I will truly lose my life, grandma!”Christopher was also afraid that they would be facing a lot of trouble. Therefore, he hurriedly pleaded, “Mom, just tell them the truth now.”Lady Wilson had already given up struggling at this time, and she sighed like a rooster who had already been defeated in a fight before saying, “Charlie is right. The reason why I am here today is just that I was planning to trick all of you into moving back to the Wilson family villa. My main purpose in doing that was just because I wanted to manipulate and trick Claire into going back to work for the Wilson Group.”Then, Lady Wilson tried to push the blame away from herself as she blurted out, “But I…”Charlie interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. “But no

Zachary couldn't help pointing at the screen and snapping, "Fucking loser! The more you feel pressed, the less you should be nervous! What are you thinking?! You're falling right under that bastard's trap!"Jacob was frustrated too, growling through his teeth, "Shit! I didn't think that bastard was a sly old fox. Fucking hell!"He then sighed, shaking his head. "Forget it, Zachary—I'm going home to pack my shit, and I'll depart for Dubai first thing tomorrow. Just handle that bronze sculpture for me and wire the money over."As he was about to get off, Zachary sighed in exasperation and apologetically said, "Sorry, Mr. Wilson… but it's fine! Even if this plan screwed up, just let me cook up another plan to destroy Raymond Cole!"Jacob ignored him as he strode out of the car, but that was when Raymond spoke audibly from Zachary's phone, "You can calm down. I'm not accusing you of lying to me. I just think that it's not Renaissance… Rather, it's medieval.""E-Early medieval…?" Billy

In Treasure Measure, Raymond unwrapped the red cloth around the bronze sculpture in front of Billy and the camera.There was a brief flash of surprise on his face, and it was soon gone.Still, he picked up the bronze sculpture, fiddling with it as he asked, "Do you know where it's from?""Yeah," Billy nodded. "A Renaissance-era sculpture. I think the base makes it obvious."Raymond looked up at him and asked in curiosity, "Are you sure about that?"Billy, presuming that Raymond had already noticed a catch, quickly said, "Well, the old man had an expert check it, and the expert said it was immediately obvious! To be honest, I want to sell it because the old man just passed away—gotta sell this baby before my brother goes for a garage sale."He had certainly added more details to the script, and Raymond nodded as he said nonchalantly, "But it doesn't look Renaissance to me. Sculptures from that era—be it the craftsmanship or the unique attributes? It's quite different from this one

In the antique trade, items that raised eyebrows would only be shown in the evenings—when various shops were about to close.That was certainly the case in Antique Street, as most items arriving in the evening were either freshly excavated, stolen, or forgery used to dupe unsuspecting victims.Even if Raymond had started his career abroad, he had learned every last unspoken rule during his earlier stint in Aurous Hill.Seeing the wariness on Billy's face and the way he was holding something in his arms, Raymond knew right away that what he carried wasn't legal.Still, the antique trade was no different here than it was abroad.Tomb raiding, forgery, or adding some touch-ups that increased the value of an item—everyone across the globe pretty much played the same tricks, and Raymond had his fair share of experience.Still, he did not let his wariness show, instead grinning, "Yes, of course. Come on in—let's talk inside!"And with that, he quickly led Billy inside.Meanwhile, bot

"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
