The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 326
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

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
