The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3263
Charlie simply packed some clothes on the morning of April 3rd. He said goodbye to his wife, father-in-law, and mother-in-law before setting off on his journey back to Eastcliff once again.This time, Charlie did not take the Wade family’s private jet again. Instead, he took the Boeing business jet that Yule had given him instead. He prepared to set off and leave for Eastcliff together with Isaac.After boarding the plane, Charlie called Quinn and told her that he was about to take off and that he would be landing at Eastcliff Airport in about an hour or so.Quinn was naturally overjoyed, and she said on the spot that she would leave immediately to head to the airport to prepare to pick him up.Just as the plane had slowly started to roll out and was about to accelerate at the end of the runway, Charlie received a phone call from Jeremiah, the head of the Wade family. Jeremiah could not hide his excitement over the phone as he asked, “Charlie, when will you be coming to Eastcliff

If he was just a grandfather and if his second son had already passed away for so many years, he would not want to force Charlie either if he found out about his whereabouts after much difficulty. It might not be a bad choice for him to let Charlie happily live the life that he wanted. That would not only be a good thing for Charlie himself, but it would also be a good thing for his parents. After all, it would be very gratifying for his parents in heaven.However, he also understood and was well aware of his other identity. He was not only Charlie’s grandfather, but he was also the head of the Wade family. As the head of the Wade family, he would have to put the interests of the Wade family as his main priority. As a direct descendant of the Wade family, Charlie would have to return to the Wade family to serve the interests of the Wade family.What’s more, Charlie was the future son-in-law recognized by the Golding family. From this point of view alone, Charlie was worth eve

Jeremiah looked at the group of people who were burning with rage in front of him, and he shook his head gently. He knew that these people lacked understanding of Charlie. At the same time, they were worried that after Charlie had returned, they would have to divide their established vested interests. Therefore, that was the reason why they were saying all of that, just so that they could confuse him.Still, how could a cunning old man like him possibly be influenced by these people?Only two people in the Wade family truly knew about Charlie’s real abilities. Amongst them, Carmen knew some of his abilities, and Jeremiah knew even more.After Carman had been brutally beaten by Elaine in Aurous Hill the last time and subsequently kidnapped by Christopher and Harold, Charlie had mentioned some things about his own affairs in front of her.This included how he had cured the terminally ill Yule, killed The Big Eight from the Webb family, and also helped the Ito family have the last

He looked at Carmen, who looked terrified, and he thought to himself, ‘Is this really my aunt who is so arrogant and domineering that everyone in Eastcliff knows about her? In the past, she would fight to the death even if she lost a single strand of hair. However, why hasn’t she had any thoughts about taking revenge after suffering so many grievances because of Charlie?’When he thought about this, he was very unconvinced as he asked, “Aunt, don’t you think that Charlie was too much when he treated you like that back then? Don’t you feel angry at Charlie at all in the depths of your heart?”Carmen took a step back and replied with a serious expression on her face, “No, I don’t. Don’t talk nonsense…”Felix was so shocked that his jaw was wide open at this time. He was dumbfounded as he stared at Carmen. He would not have dreamt that Carmen would actually deny everything that he had said when he was using a provocative method to rekindle her anger toward Charlie…Felix was naturally

When Hugh heard that Lord Wade also wanted him to go and pick Charlie up as well, he too felt extremely unwilling and reluctant.However, there was nothing he could do even if he was feeling reluctant. Even his elder cousin brother, Felix, had already compromised, so how could he dare to resist?Therefore, he could only agree honestly.At this time, the servant trotted over to give a report, “Lord Wade, Young Master Felix, Princess Helena is here.”When Felix heard that Helena was here, the gloominess on his face eased a little.Princess Helena was Felix’s fiancée. She was Helena Elliot, a princess of the Northern Europe royal family. Although the Wade family and the Elliot family had reached a consensus on the marriage, no matter what it was, the both of them were not officially engaged yet. Therefore, out of courtesy and consideration, and also out of fear that the paparazzi and media would be spreading rumors and gossip everywhere, the Wade family had not arranged for Helena
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3268
Helena was somewhat stunned, and she hurriedly said, “This is really a little too much… Oskians say that there should be no gain without pain… I… I…”Jeremiah laughed, “Why are you talking about gains and pain? In our Oskian tradition, it is only right to give a gift of money on your wedding day as you are officially becoming the daughter-in-law of the Wade family. It is not only your father-in-law and mother-in-law who will be giving you a gift of money, but I, as a grandfather, as well as Felix’s other uncles and aunts, will also be giving you a gift of money.”Helena was slightly startled and she said seriously, “I mean no offense, but I feel that this custom does not seem to suit me…”After saying that, Helena hurriedly explained, “This is mainly because most young people would basically stop asking their family for money after going to college. This is also the same case for me as well as for many of my friends. I relied on a scholarship and student loan to get into university

When Helena heard that Felix suddenly wanted to bring her to the airport with him, she was a little confused, and she asked in surprise, “Go to the airport now? What’s the matter?”Felix explained, “It’s like this. I have a cousin brother who has been living a wandering life for twenty years now. He will be coming back to Eastcliff for the first time today, so Hugh and I are going to pick him up at the airport. You are his future sister-in-law. So, if you have nothing else to do, you should just come with me to pick him up, then.”When Helena heard this, she nodded without hesitation and said, “No problem. That is the right thing to do.”Jeremiah nodded in relief, and he smiled as she said, “Alright, then. In that case, the three of you can go to the airport together.”After saying that, Jeremiah instructed Stephen, “Stephen, hurry up and prepare the convoy.”“Okay, Lord Wade!” Stephen agreed. After that, he hurriedly left the villa first before he began to convene the convoy to p

Felix nodded. He walked out of the villa while chatting with Hugh. After that, they stood in front of the courtyard as they waited for the convoy to arrive.Felix could not help but feel very upset at the thought of going to the airport to pick Charlie up. He clenched his teeth and cursed, “That Charlie is really f*cking awesome. He has not been back for twenty years, but now that he is coming back, I have to go and pick him up from the airport personally? Who the hell does he think he is? Is he worthy enough for me to pick him up?!”Hugh also hurriedly chimed in, “That’s right, Felix. I really do not understand. Do you think that Grandpa is already old and confused? Why does it seem like he is attaching great importance to that Charlie? It’s impossible for someone like him, who grew up on the streets, to be able to make it in Eastcliff. If any outsiders were to find out that the Wade family actually brought an immediate relative back from Aurous Hill who has not even finished univer

"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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6457
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,
