The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3807
At nine o’clock in the morning in Aurous Airport, a tall middle-aged woman with blonde hair and blue eyes strode out.This woman’s appearance was considered very beautiful, but you could tell that she was no longer young through the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was Kelly Wearstler, and she was already in her fifties. However, her outfit was very fashionable because of her background as a designer. If you did not look closely at her, you would think that she was only in her early thirties. When Kelly walked out of the airport, Claire recognized her at a glance, but Kathleen. who had only just looked at Kelly’s information yesterday, was a little overwhelmed, and she did not react at once.However, Kelly recognized Kathleen immediately and so, she waved at her enthusiastically as she shouted happily, “Jane! I’m here!”Kathleen came to her senses and soon recognized Kelly. So, she also pretended to be very excited as she said, “Kelly! You’re finally here!”As she spo

Kelly looked at Kathleen in surprise. She did not expect that this young lady from the Fox family would be so perceptive and that she would find the key point almost immediately.So, she smiled slightly, nodded, and said, “In fact, she had very, very high fame in the American high society thirty years ago. There are still many people who talk about her with respect even now.”When Kathleen heard this, she was even more curious, and she asked, “If that’s true, I might have heard of her before. What’s her name? Is it convenient for you to tell me?”Kelly thought for a moment and then laughed slightly as she said, “She has already left this world for many years now. So, it wouldn’t be inconvenient.”As Kelly spoke, she put her smile away, and she had a nostalgic expression that was filled with admiration and a little sadness as she said, “Her name is Ashley Acker. She was called Silicon Valley’s Queen of Investment thirty years ago. I don’t know if you’ve heard of her before, but it w

Kelly did not expect that Kathleen, who was so young, would actually have such a deep impression of Ashley as well.Moreover, looking at her appearance, it seemed as though she really admired Ashley.This made her feel a sense of relief, and she could not help but sigh, “It’s great that so many people still remember her even after so many years have passed...”Kathleen nodded and hurriedly questioned her, “Kelly, how did you get to know Ashley Acker?”Kelly had a nostalgic expression as she said, “When I first entered the design circle, it did not go well for me. Although I did high-end private house designs, many high-end customers were still very disdainful of me as a fledgling designer. Moreover, many women in many jobs were being discriminated in the American society during that era, and the design industry was naturally no exception...”As Kelly spoke of this, she sighed slightly and said with immense gratitude, “I was frugal, and I took out five thousand US dollars to open m

By the time Claire had returned home and had just sat on the sofa, she was already tired, and her whole body was sore.When Charlie saw the appearance of several blisters on her feet after she had taken off her socks, he could not help but feel a little distressed as he said, “Honey, what have you been doing all day? Why do you have so many blisters?”Claire smiled shyly and said, “I was silly today and forgot to wear sneakers. I also took them to several scenic spots and walked more than twenty thousand steps...”Having said that, she smirked and said, “It’s alright. It will certainly be much better after I change into sneakers tomorrow!”Charlie blurted out, “Your feet are already like this and you’re still going shopping tomorrow?!”Claire nodded and said seriously, “Of course I’m going! Honey, you don’t know this but I can really learn a lot of things just by following Miss Jane and Madam Wearstler. I feel that I’m not from the same world as them, and I have never heard of man

When Charlie heard his mother’s name actually coming out of his wife, Claire’s mouth, he was instantly shocked, and he stood frozen in place as if someone had cast a spell on his body.At this moment, Charlie’s consciousness also seemed to have lost contact with his body, and he was also feeling extremely shocked. He also lost control of his emotions as he questioned her with much urgency, “What did they say to you?!”When Claire saw Charlie getting so agitated, she asked in astonishment, “Honey, why are you getting so agitated? Could it be that you’ve heard of Ashley Acker before?”Claire’s question caused Charlie to feel a lump in his throat.In the past, Claire had also asked Charlie about his parents’ situation several times. Charlie could not bear to lie about his parents’ death and so, he had told Claire truthfully that his parents had died in a car accident when he was eight years old. However, although Charlie could not bear to lie about this matter, he also had his res

After that, he suspected that these were inextricably linked to the Rothschild family, but he still had not found any valuable clues.Therefore, what Claire was saying today had immediately given Charlie great hope. He felt that if he could find a way to get Kathleen’s grandfather to talk, there would be a real chance and possibility of him uncovering the truth behind this matter!As he thought of this, he decided in his heart immediately. When Jordan came to Aurous Hill, he would have to force him to speak up no matter what it was! He would have to get Jordan to tell him all of the inside stories and everything that he knew even if he had to take his consciousness away and give him strong psychological hints!At the same time, Charlie’s expectations for the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill had already surpassed everything at this moment!As for Kathleen, she could continue putting on a show and play games if she wanted to. Charlie did not care about what she wanted to do anymor

The grade of Houlmount cars was certainly not as good as Rolls Royce.However, in Charlie’s eyes, the Houlmount was the most nationally representative car brand in Oskia, and there was no other.Therefore, it was also the best option that he had in mind.Isaac obeyed Charlie’s words and so, he spoke up and said immediately, “Okay, Young Master. I’ll coordinate the resources and make sure that all the vehicles are in place within the next two days.”Charlie nodded and instructed, “Don’t forget to raise the room prices. The price of the rooms at Shangri-La should be at least a hundred times more during the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill. Moreover, you should not give them a discount of even a single cent.”“Okay,” Isaac smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Young Master. I’ve already made all the arrangements for this. The listed price of the hotel rooms this time will not only be raised more than a hundred times, but there will also be an additional 20% service charge, 20% security fee
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3814
Moreover, this price was really a black-market price that was extremely high, and the profit margin was also as high as 99.99%...At this time, Charlie was very serious as he said, “Mr. Cameron, look. This group of people usually wear LV and carry Hermes, and they think that they are so amazing because of that. A piece of their clothing printed with the LV logo would cost tens of thousands of dollars, and the price of a Hermes bag is also extremely expensive and out of the world. Since all of them have so much pride and ego, my Rejuvenating Pill clothing would be the best luxury good. How can Hermes compare to a set of sportswear that costs 1.5 million dollars?”Isaac instantly perspired out of embarrassment. He knew that this young master of his was sometimes very black-hearted, but he did not expect him to be so black-hearted...If word about this were to get out to the public, people would say that Shangri-La was shameless. However, he also knew Charlie’s style of action and

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A

While Jacob was feeling delighted after pulling off his con, Raymond had posted details of the bronze sculpture online.The website he was using was the biggest platform for antique collectors and the antique trade where each user could set a favorite tag in the antique category and era. If a user who preferred canvas art pieces of the Tudor dynasty set that label as their favorite, they would immediately be notified with text or desktop notifications in regards to any item with the same label.As medieval bronze sculptures were rare in the first place, most who were interested had already set that label on their favorites and were immediately notified soon after Raymond posted pictures of the bronze sculpture online.The collectors were naturally eager to check it out as gilded sculptures of the medieval era were really rare, and most collectors would go a lifetime without picking one up for their collection.On top of that, the seller had even listed a major flaw and was only ask

"Nope," Jacob chuckled. "We were both working separately and just happened to get back in at the same time."Then, he immediately became smug and excited, "Guess what, dear? I made 200 thousand out of the deal! In net profits!""For real?!" Elaine gaped. "200 thousand in just one night?! That's amazing! How did you do that?"Claire was surprised to hear that too, and she came over to ask, "What deal was it, Dad?"Jacob grinned, "Oh, it's nothing to brag about. It's just that I managed to pick up a nice antique item thanks to my wisdom and then sold it for 200 thousand."Pausing, he then sighed in dismay, "However, the buyer wasn't too rich—I would have squeezed him for 400 thousand, but he couldn't afford more, so I had to settle for less."Elaine quickly exclaimed, "Shit, we're talking about a loss of 200 thousand! People would work a year and still never earn that much…"She trailed off for a moment before asking, "By the way, dear—are we still flying out first thing tomorrow?

Jacob laughed. "Put that issue behind us? Sure, but we're not becoming friends. Hell, I can't even hold a grudge now that you're shit out of luck."Then, his tone changed sharply and suddenly became icy, "But you see, Aurous Hill is not a place you can stay just because you want to. No… After this, you're not going to be able to make a living in the antique trade.""If I were you, I'd be running a thousand miles away, far away from Aurous Hill where no one would know my face to start over. That way, you just might be able to make a living."Raymond simply kept smiling, "You need not be concerned about how I'm going to survive here, Mr. Wilson. I'd be very grateful if you'd cease any form of harassment once you leave my premises."Jacob pursed his lips, staring at Raymond in disappointment. "I'm plenty magnanimous, so I won't stoop to such pettiness. Just do whatever you like!"Clicking his tongue, he huffed, "Tut, tut… And here I'd thought you're tough, but you're just yet another

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an

That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door

Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l
