As soon as these words fell out of Jasmine’s lips, the crowd burst into excitement.All of them expected the Rejuvenating Pill auction to be pushed to the back and be slowly released after a warm up. To their delight and surprise, it was actually the first item to be auctioned!This was a deliberate arrangement on Charlie’s part. He desired an excitement akin to blowing up a field as soon as it entered into his view. He didn’t need to put in a lot of effort to heat up the field, but simply threw a heavy bomb to denotate and destroy the entire field in an instant. Having the Rejuvenating Pill be the first auction item would also allow the audience to witness its effects with their own eyes in record time. That way, their desire for the pill would be ignited to unprecedented levels. At this moment, Charlie was sitting comfortably in the monitoring room as he watched the live broadcast of the ballroom. “Jasmine’s performance is much better than I had expected. She’s found the ri

Many were still stunned from astonishment. Amid this, Travis didn’t hesitate to raise his hand and shouted determinedly, “I’ll pay one hundred million US dollars!”Charlie, who was in the monitoring room, smiled admiringly. “Travis Lane is really smart. He knows because of his lacking finances, he’d have to compete for the first quarter. If he can’t win the first quarter, it’d be even more difficult for him to get the next one.”“That’s right.” Isaac pulled up one of the images to show a close-up of Travis’s face. Smiling, he added, “Look, Young Master! Travis’ bid is very impressive, but you can tell from the look on his face that spending so much is very painful for him.”Charlie looked at the close-up and burst into amused laughter. Nodding, he said with a chuckle, “Out of the two hundred people who came today, at least half of them will decide to give up when the starting price is announced. They went through all the trouble to come here because they want to see how powerful the

The main reason why auctions were so popular all over the world was because while there was a lower limit, there was no upper limit for anything.Therefore, any item could fetch a sky-high price at an auction. Everything depended mainly on the strength and mentality of the competitors. When they get on each other’s throats, even the most worthless items could fetch a surprisingly high price. In addition, few tactics were available in regard to a straightforward bidding method. There were only two commonly used methods. One was to either raise the price suddenly to scare the other party’s momentum, implying to the other party that you had money and could easily destroy them. The second was to slowly follow up and maintain your composure, to show the other party that you would play until the end.Travis’s first method didn’t work, so he could only use the second. His plan was to simply raise the price by the ten million US dollars mark each time, so long as the price was still with
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3893
Therefore, he increased the price by nearly two hundred million as soon as he started bidding just to get his hands on the Rejuvenating Pill.This was equally surprising for Travis, the old queen of Northern Europe, and the Middle East billionaire who had bid earlier. None of them expected the African tycoon to be so powerful! In just a flash, he had raised the price of the previous bid to an outrageous level.Travis was depressed.Five hundred million US dollars converted into Oskian dollars was easily more than three billion dollars. He could afford the price, but he was reluctant to pay so much.In the previous Rejuvenating Pill auction, he managed to win a full pill with just two billion dollars. Now, he needed to fork out three billion dollars for just a quarter pill. He was unwilling to do so.While he was struggling to decide, the old queen of Northern Europe had already made up her mind. She raised her hand and made another bid, saying, “I’ll offer five hundred and fifty
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3894
When the African tycoon placed a bid of eight hundred US dollars, the old Northern Europe queen immediately slumped in her seat in disappointment. A hint of reluctance flashed in her blank eyes.The newest price had exceeded her affordable limit.Even if she was offered an opportunity to purchase it at this price, she wouldn’t be able to pay. She knew she was out of luck to get this Rejuvenating Pill.At the same time, the crowd burst into hushed conversations. Everyone knew there were four portions of Rejuvenating Pills for bidding tonight, as well as the full pill. The price would skyrocket quickly, as the final bidding price for the first quarter of the Rejuvenating Pill would set the expectations for the next bidding.The rest of the Rejuvenating Pills might become ridiculously high because of the first bidding’s high price.Travis was now on the brink of insanity.He cursed in his heart, ‘Eight hundred million! In US dollars! That’s about four billion dollars in conversion f
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3895
As Travis shouted his bid, he thought to himself…‘Ten billion dollars is my maximum limit. I’d rather cut to the chase instead of continuing to waste time with those two b*stards. I’ll be ruthless and raise the bid by three hundred million US dollars! Let’s see who else dares to follow!’Travis thought his furious action would scare off the two. To his surprise, his two competitors raised their hands almost at the same time.The Middle East billionaire shouted, “I offer one point seven billion!”The African tycoon was even more aggressive. He roared, “Two billion! I’ll bid two billion!”Travis was crushed and gave up in an instant. He slumped in his seat, his back drenched in his cold sweat.He knew he couldn’t continue bidding anymore.He couldn’t accept paying five times more just for a quarter pill. Even if he managed to buy the pill at a higher price, he might not be able to get over the purchase and would feel uncomfortable every time he remembered it.In the end, he sigh
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3896
And so, the Middle East billionaire decided to use Number 47 African tycoon as a lab mouse. He patiently observed the crowd, and noticed that one else intended to continue bidding with a higher price.Everyone present was no idiot. They could tell that Number 48 had severe Parkinson’s disease by observing his heavy tremors. They wanted to see whether he could recover right away after winning and eating the first Rejuvenating Pill.Meanwhile, Jasmine announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, the first Rejuvenating Pill is currently at two billion US dollars. Two billion US dollars two times. If any other guests would like to participate in the bidding, this is your last opportunity before I call for the third time. Please raise your hand if you would like to bid.”The crowd remained silent. They were all determined not to act before they were certain of the pill’s efficiency.Everyone looked forward to ending the first round of bidding and quickly closing the deal.It was a chance for the

Before the subordinate could voice his dissatisfaction, the African tycoon promptly warned him, “Don’t spew nonsense!”At that, the subordinate wisely silenced himself. After that, the African tycoon slowly walked up the stage step by step, trembling all the way, supported by his subordinate and a soldier. There were more than four hundred people below who watched him stagger onto the stage. The suspense was tormenting. A healthy man could easily reach the stage in thirty seconds, but the African tycoon spent seven to eight minutes to go such a short distance.When he finally arrived on stage, he was shaking all over..Travis went mad at seeing the absurd pricing. He gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction as he watched the African tycoon move so excruciatingly slowly. He cursed, “F*ck! This b*stard is shaking so much on stage! I’m getting dizzy looking at him!”In the first place, Travis was never such a rude man. He was a businessman known for his gentle grace. However, he wa

Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong

Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway

The traffic police officer smiled in exasperation. "Is there no getting through to you? You could even afford to drive a nice car, and you'd most likely survive an accident. But what if you were left bedridden for a long time? Yell at each other in the same hospital room?"Elaine waved him off. "I don't care—all I know is that I will always get my revenge, and on the spot if possible. If there were superheroes, I would be Wonder Woman!""Urgh…" The traffic police officer was utterly speechless. "How about this? We will call your daughter and have her come over to bail you. She will mediate your fight!"With those words, he returned Elaine's phone to her, and it happened to ring just then.It was a call from Claire.Seeing that the contact name said [Daughter], the traffic police officer quickly said, "Go on, answer it!"Elaine took it and answered the call, and Claire asked urgently before she could say a word, "Mom? Where are you? Where's Dad? Are you both alright?"Elaine sulk

While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w

However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you

The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,

Elaine may have led a life as if she was above the rules, but beneath that tough exterior lay crippling insecurities and a horrific inferiority complex.She was always afraid of being belittled—but more than that, of being ostracized and betrayed.Over the years, the greatest source of her complexes could all be traced back to Matilda.After all, Matilda had been a star back in their school days. Because Elaine was a close friend of hers, many boys would get chummy with Elaine, but only because they were interested in Matilda.Being from a poor farmer's family, Elaine had been scorned plenty and therefore felt exceedingly inferior around Matilda.It was from that sense of inferiority that Elaine had inadvertently developed a one-sided rivalry against Matilda, and she believed her greatest triumph over Matilda in this life was the moment she had stolen Jacob from her.However, while Elaine presumed that she could hold that victory over Matilda's head, Lady Wilson had soured that v

Moreover, given Elaine's ridiculous temper, Jacob knew she would definitely go overboard and destroy him.He wouldn't even have a place to live at that point, and it would really be game over if she held a grudge and stormed the Calligraphy and Painting Association!Under such circumstances, he couldn't ask for a divorce—hell, he might even refuse a divorce if Elaine asked for one!However, that was when Elaine laughed coldly. "Oh, my… You're really not going to divorce me?""Come on—how long were we married?" Jacob quickly reasoned. "Getting divorced at our age? People would laugh at us."Elaine scoffed. "Now I'm curious… Matilda's quite old too, and she's a divorcee marrying again. Won't people laugh at her?""Technically, she's a widow—"Jacob blurted out, but soon turned pale, tensing up again not a second after he had just calmed down, asking gingerly, "W-Why would you suddenly mention her?'Elaine stopped pretending right then and snapped, "It's actually impressive that y

Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th
