The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3696
In fact, Vintage Deluxe had not announced the news that it would be co-hosting the auction with Shangri-La.This was also Charlie’s intention.Some time ago, the public had assumed that Ten Thousand Armies had taken over half of the Wade family’s assets. Many people had intended to draw a clear line with the Wade family and so, the business of hundreds of Shangri-La’s all around the world had also been affected to a considerable extent.Charlie was planning to take advantage of the auction this time to teach those wealthy people a lesson so that they would have to stay in Shangri-La before they could participate in the auction.However, Charlie did not plan to announce the news immediately because if the auction venue was announced early, there might be many people with ulterior motives or malicious intentions who would come to the auction venue in advance to stake out the venue.It was also possible for some people who were eyeing the Rejuvenating Pill to want to do something at

The slightly older man hurriedly said, “Miss Moore has already arrived.”As they spoke, the two men quickly walked past Kathleen’s side.As they passed her, Kathleen saw the two men’s side profile, and the first thought that came to her mind was, ‘This young man is quite handsome...’These two people who passed by her were none other than Charlie and Isaac.Charlie had happened to ask Jasmine to come over to discuss the next details of the auction with Isaac. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Isaac was already waiting for him at the door.After they met up, Isaac then told Charlie about how those soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies who had been lying in ambush at The Apothecary Pharmaceutical had successfully arrested several agents who had infiltrated The Apothecary Pharmaceutical one after the other. These people were being tightly controlled now, but they had not been transferred yet. At the same time, the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies had also found a man

While Kathleen checked in and moved into the presidential suite in Shangri-La, Charlie was working with Jasmine and Isaac to determine the follow-up details of the auction.The most important thing for Charlie right now was the security of Shangri-La when the time came. After all, the temptation would definitely be too great at any time when faced with the value of the Rejuvenating Pill which might exceed ten billion US dollars. They would not know how many people would secretly try to make a move on it.Moreover, when the time came, it would basically be mostly top tycoons. Under this kind of situation, it would be necessary to ensure the personal safety of these top tycoons. Otherwise, if anything were to go wrong, no one would dare to come and participate in the auction anymore in the future. So, Charlie requested for the security system in Shangri-La to be completed with a new round of upgrades over the next fifteen days. At the same time, he also informed Porter to send

With that being said, Jasmine added, “Furthermore, he also made a lot of big moves some time ago. He bought a lot of French and Italian luxury brands consecutively including the famous Hermes with great fanfare. Because of his almost monopolistic dominance in the luxury goods sector, his worth has now reached a staggering and shocking figure of one hundred and seventy billion US dollars, which would be over a trillion dollars after conversion.”Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, “So, that’s the case... It seems as though this old man can be regarded as a friend of all women worldwide!”Having said that, Charlie looked at Bernard’s profile carefully, and he found that Bernard was already in his seventies. It seemed as though Bernard was also beginning to worry about the extension of his life.In truth, the top dignitaries in the world had always been like this ever since ancient times. People in their teens to their twenties and thirties would be at a young, frivolous, and ignor

Charlie then continued looking through all the names.There was another person on the list who attracted his attention named Jordan Fox. The amount of assets that Jordan Fox had declared at the time of registration was one hundred billion US dollars, but this person’s information had never appeared on the Forbes list before.There were also several others in the same situation as him.These people, whose name could not be found on the Forbes lists, had very little news about them on the internet, yet they were all declaring assets of about one hundred billion US dollars.However, Charlie vaguely felt that the actual assets of these people should be far more than one hundred billion US dollars. The reason why they were all declaring an asset of a hundred billion US dollars was because they did not want to stand out too much, and they only wanted to be able to firmly secure a spot on the shortlist. Therefore, they were only taking out a part of their assets for capital verificati

Charlie pulled up the end of the list, and he understood the embarrassment of the Northern Europe royal family immediately. Even if the former queen had submitted proof of the Northern Europe royal family’s assets, it would only translate to more than ten billion dollars, which was just sufficient for her to qualify for the basic threshold of the registration.So, she was basically almost at the bottom of existence amongst these seven hundred people. According to this kind of sorting where the top two hundred out of seven hundred people would be chosen, she definitely would not be qualified to come to this auction.When Charlie saw this, he could not help but smile helplessly as he said, “Sigh. It seems as though the Northern European royal family is indeed a little embarrassing. Their assets are not even worth one-tenth of the British royal family’s assets.”“Yes...” Jasmine said helplessly, “I’ve always thought that the royal families in Europe were very rich. I did not expect

When Helena heard her grandmother’s question, she was instantly stunned.Before the shyness that she felt in her heart could make her blush, she was immediately crushed by her sadness.Helena originally wanted to instinctively deny it, but for some reason, she suddenly felt a deeply unpleasant feeling in her heart. So, she sighed softly and said quietly, “So what if I miss him? Ever since I ascended the throne, my identity has become extremely sensitive. I can no longer make my own decisions on where I want to go, who I want to meet, what I want to say, and what I want to do. I dream of going to Oskia to see him, but I know that I will not be able to bypass the diplomatic channel to go to Oskia now. He will not be coming to Northern Europe anytime soon, either. I’m afraid that I will not even be able to see his face in the future...”As Helena spoke of this, tears suddenly filled her eyes and even overflowed out of the corners of her eyes. She hurriedly turned her head, quietly wi

The old queen had a sad expression on her face as she said, “If you don’t get married, you will be left all alone in the entire Northern Europe royal family when I die! Have you ever seen such a miserable royal family?”Helena said seriously, “Grandma, if the royal family does not have a suitable heir, Northern Europe can just cancel the royal family completely after my death and change the constitutional monarchy into a presidential republic, then. As for us, we can just take care of ourselves. Why should we worry so much about the afterlife?”The old queen let out a long sigh and said, “If the royal family is really forced to be abolished because of the lack of a successor, I would rather you have a baby with Charlie before marriage, then!”Helena smiled and said, “Look, Grandma! We’ve finally come to a consensus on this issue.”“Yes, yes, yes...” The old queen seemed to have given up all resistance as she said faintly, “You’re right. The question now is how you can get pregnant

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
