The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 3275
When Charlie took a first glance at Helena, he was not surprised by her stunning and exotic look like every other man. Instead, he was surprised because of the excessive fairness of her skin color. It was common for Caucasians to have fair skin, but Helenaâs skin was a little too fair. Her skin color gave people the feeling that she truly resembled the Elven princess in the movie . It was not only very fair, but it was much fairer as compared to that of an average fair person.Therefore, Charlie paid more attention to her physical condition. At first glance, he noticed that her body was much weaker as compared to an ordinary person. She had a typical perennial severe deficiency of qi and blood. It could be said that she was in a precarious state, and she might collapse at any time.At the moment when he was gently shaking her hand just now, Charlie had silently used his Reiki to check her body. At the same time, he also found the focus of her illness. In hi

So, Felix was a little sullen as he stepped forward and stood in front of Helena to block her directly. After that, he had an annoyed expression on his face as he said, âCharlie, although you are my younger brother, donât blame me for being unkind to you if you have any improper thoughts toward your sister-in-law!âAfter saying that, Felix looked at Quinn and Stephen before he blurted out angrily, âMiss Quinn and Mr. Thompson, the both of you have also seen what Charlie did just now, right? Did I wrong him?âFelix was not a reckless man, and the reason why he had said these words was to make sure that Quinn and Stephen had heard his words.Felix felt that Charlie had indeed taken the initiative to touch Helenaâs finger just now, and if he was to blame Charlie for it, Charlie would have to admit it even if he did not want to!Stephen felt somewhat embarrassed. He did not understand why Charlie had done that either. However, Quinn had a firm and determined look on her face as she sai

Felix could not help but feel very angry when he looked at the back of the Volvo. At the same time, he could not help but secretly feel a burst of joy in his heart.He was angry because that guy, Charlie, was really not showing him any respect at all.âItâs a secondary matter that he is not showing me any respect, but the main point is that he touched my fiancÃĐeâs delicate hand!ââThat is f*cking outrageous!ââHowever, Felix was also secretly rejoicing. âCharlie is being a little too pretentious this time. I will not even need to add any elaborate details to the story when I go back later, and I can just explain the exact situation to Grandpa. Grandpa will definitely be very angry too.ââWhat I was most afraid of before this was that Grandpa would be too biased toward Charlie. However, Charlie did not only fail to pay particular attention to his etiquette this time, but he does not seem to take Grandpa seriously either. Grandpa will not be biased toward him anymore this time, righ

When Helena had been born, her father was twenty-five years old, and her grandmother, the Queen of Northern Europe, was sixty years old. At that time, Helenaâs father was the Crown Prince and the first in line to succeed the throne. She was naturally established as the second in line to the throne. Later, when Helenaâs father had discovered Helenaâs congenital disease, he had not told the royal family about it so that Helena would be able to inherit the throne someday in the future. He had privately sought out the best doctor for Helena and used the best methods for Helenaâs treatment as he strived to ensure that Helena could live longer.Helenaâs father believed that although his chances of inheriting the throne were slim, as long as he could conceal Helenaâs birth defect and do everything that he could to keep Helena alive until she was twenty-five years old, she would have the opportunity to inherit the throne before she died. This was because there was only a thirty-year-age

At the same time, in Quinnâs Volvo.As Quinn drove, she asked Charlie, âBrother Charlie, did you mean that Helena is ill when you said that her condition is not that good just now?âCharlie nodded. âThatâs right.âQuinn could not help but ask, âWhat kind of illness is it?âCharlie thought for a moment before he said seriously, âItâs hard to say. Itâs very complicated, but there is a very big problem with her entire system that is related to her heart.âQuinn was surprised and asked, âAhh? Is it that serious?ââYes.â Charlie nodded. âItâs extremely serious.âQuinn asked again, âWill her life be in danger, then?âCharlie explained, âHer current situation is as if sheâs walking on thin ice. She might step in the air and fall into the water at any time.âQuinn widened her eyes in shock. âNo way! She looks so young.âCharlie said indifferently, âIllness never cares whether a person is young or old. Therefore, the number of people who die from an illness at a young age or even befo

Rachel was also in a very good mood. She took out red wine and wanted to drink with him too.Rachel sincerely liked Charlie, and she was very satisfied with him. So, the way that she was treating Charlie was no longer as if he was her future son-in-law, but instead, she was simply treating him as if he was her own son.Charlie also really enjoyed this kind of feeling in the Golding family where all three members of the Golding family treated him with utmost sincerity. In addition, both of their families had a family-like friendship for so many years, and thus, this made Charlie truly feel a sense of home. Just as Charlie and Yuleâs family of three were happily drinking and dining together, Felix sent Helena back to the hotel before returning to the Wade family mansion to resume his duties.When Jeremiah saw that Charlie did not come back with him, he immediately spoke up and asked, âWhatâs the matter? Whereâs Charlie? Why didnât he come back with you guys?âFelix had been waiti

Jeremiah frowned when he heard this, and he asked Stephen, âStephen, you were also at the scene at that time. Do you think that Charlie was being serious when he said those words at that time, or do you think that he was just making careless and irresponsible remarks?âStephen said respectfully, âLord Wade, I think that Young Master Charlie truly meant what he was saying. It did not seem like he had any frivolous intentions.âJeremiah nodded gently and spoke up, âI think so too.âFelix suddenly blurted out, âGrandpa! You cannot possibly be serious, right?! Charlie was obviously taking advantage of Helena. How can you say that he does not have any frivolous intentions?âJeremiah said indifferently, âIn my opinion, Charlie must have seen some kind of health issues on Helenaâs body. Based on my understanding of Charlie, he would not act so rashly as to rack his brains just to make up some stories just so that he could take advantage of a girl.âFelix protested. âGrandpa, youâre being

Stephen immediately said, âOkay, Lord Wade. Iâll go and make the arrangements now.âFelix hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a very dissatisfied tone, âGrandpa! Are you really going to arrange for a whole bunch of doctors to go and give Helena a medical examination just because of one word from Charlie?! Have you ever considered Helenaâs feelings? What if she is very resistant to this idea? What if she develops any negative thoughts or opinions on our family because of this matter?âJeremiah waved his hand. âWhen it comes to this kind of matter, Iâd rather believe it to be true than not. Let Stephen go and ask her about it, then. If Helena is resistant to the idea, we will not force it either. However, if she does not have any complaints or opinions about it, we will just proceed with the medical examination, and everyone will be happy too.âStephen nodded immediately and said, âI will go and make the preparations immediately, then. I will also try to get female experts to go ov

No one except Raymond expected that the terms would be agreed upon so quickly.He was utterly confident in his judgment and even more so in his value appraisal.He was convinced that once they had a good look, any one of these collectors who could afford twenty million wouldn't miss this bargain.After all, an opportunity to secure an item worth millions more than the price they paid was very rare.In fact, when the other nine collectors heard that the first collector was buying it, it was only to be expected even if it left them all gloomy. They had all held the bronze sculpture in their handsâthey knew it was definitely worth that much.However, no one in the room was more shocked than Trippy.He looked utterly flabbergasted, his eyes wide and bulging as he stared at the bronze sculpture while asking himself the same question repeatedly.Was that crap really worth twenty million? How?!While Trippy was still stunned, Raymond had already sent his payment details to the first

Unable to nitpick on the air stewardess' response, Elaine pouted, "Well, try to ask management to improve on your first-class cabins anyway. Maybe even make a premium-class or something since it's not like we can't afford it."The air stewardess quickly said, "We will definitely relay your message to the management."Nodding in satisfaction, Elaine waved her off. "Alright. You can go back to work now."Clearly relieved, the air stewardess bowed her head respectfully. "Always happy to be of service."After the air stewardess left, Jacob asked Elaine in curiosity, "Was the private jet that good?"Elaine rolled her eyes. "Didn't you see the stuff I posted in the chat group?""Not really," Jacob blurted. Elaine was ready to snap at him for not caring, but considering that they had made up now and she shouldn't fuss too much over the little things, she snorted, "Just remember to like and comment on all my posts in the chat group, otherwise, I will make you regret it!""No problem!"

While the ten collectors were taking turns studying the bronze sculpture, Jacob and Elaine were boarding their flight.As they were flying first-class, they had priority over the other passengers and boarded from the separate plug door at the first-class section.The capacity of the Boeing 777 was huge, and the wide-body aircraft could be connected to a special double corridor bridge where first class and business class passengers boarded separately from the economy class passengers.As the terminals to economy class and business class were connected, Elaine and Jacob were able to get through the first-class terminal unimpeded, but the passengers in economy class had a queue of over two hundred passengers. Even as she walked, Elaine was looking over her shoulder and exclaiming at Jacob, "Must be nice being rich! We used to have to queue like the rest of them, waiting for over thirty minutes just to board our flight." "In first class, we may be in the same plane, but we don't hav

Meanwhile, once Raymond had briefed everyone about the rules, he opened the door and invited everyone into Treasure Measure.It was not that wide but appeared spacious since the interior was mostly emptyâit was not really crowded even with thirty-ish people.Then, locking the door from the inside, Raymond told them, "I can tell from everyone's faces that we are all veterans here, so I'm sure you understand the rules while appraising: no photos or videos, thank you very much."Indeed, there were many rules that governed the hobby, the most important being respecting the seller's requests and privacy.As the collectors listened, they knew that Raymond was selling but did not want the public to know too much about him.They all nodded, and those who had their phones out slid them back into their pockets.With that, Raymond took out the bronze sculpture that he had brought, leaving Trippy a little surprised.He had never seen the bronze sculpture with his own eyes before, only from

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stallâain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worryâI promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary eitherâthey were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hideâĶ"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervousâsave for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo
