The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3934
Jordan’s face twisted into a pained expression. He never expected his dutiful son, who valued family and affection, would treat him so ruthlessly. He thought his son had always regarded him as the most important person out of everyone else. The terrible truth was that his son hated him intensely due to his long life.Jordan was so obsessed with longevity, he even traveled far to Aurous Hill for it. His eldest son must have been furious with that.Thus, the man chose to reveal his true colors at such a time.Despite Jordan’s reluctance to admit it, he knew that his son must have already gained complete control over the Fox family in the United States. After all, his son managed to remove him from power by making almost all the board members vote in his son’s favor. The man was confident that Jordan would be powerless to resist. With how almost all the board members showed support for his son, that also meant that Jordan had lost their trust for him.Jordan was already dying, una

Jarvis hurriedly supported the unconscious Jordan. He read Jordan’s pulse immediately. Noticing that it was steadily weakening and that Jordan was approaching death, he shouted anxiously, “He might not be able to make it! Hurry, call the ambulance!”The door to the second-floor private room suddenly burst open. Kathleen stood behind the railing and fled inside, crying in panic. “Grandpa! Master Yant, what happened to my grandfather?!”Jarvis looked up to see Kathleen on the second floor and murmured sadly, “Miss Kathleen, Lord Fox, he… I’m afraid he might not make it!”Kathleen fell into an immediate breakdown. She shouted at the staff, “His life is at stake! Please call the ambulance!”Jarvis carried Jordan up from his seat and alerted the staff as well. “Please call the ambulance!”Jasmine ordered the staff to summon the emergency staff in at once. Frightened that someone might accidentally faint due to turbulent emotions in the auction, she had arranged for an emergency team in

Kathleen knew Charlie wouldn’t turn a blind eye on her anymore, particularly after he gave his men the instructions. She hurriedly followed them and rushed to the first floor.The VIP room on the first floor was very close to the auction hall.Jarvis carried the dying Jordan into the room. The staff led Kathleen in as well.Kathleen couldn’t be bothered about her keeping her double identity a secret anymore. As soon as she went into the room, she rushed to Jordan’s side and asked worriedly, “Grandpa… Grandpa, wake up. Grandpa… I’m Kathleen. Can you hear me?”Jarvis sighed sadly. “Miss Kathleen, Lord Fox’s breathing has grown weaker. I’m afraid… I’m afraid he won’t make it…”Kathleen’s tears came rolling down her cheeks at that instant. She choked and cried, “It won’t be… Mr. Wade won’t let Grandpa die so easily… He must have a way… I’m sure he must have…”Jarvis sighed again. “Indeed, the Rejuvenating Pill can cure him and bring him back to life. Unfortunately, Lord Fox…can’t aff

Charlie glanced at Jordan, then at Kathleen.Indeed, Jordan was on the verge of dying. His breathing was growing weaker and weaker by the passing second.Charlie said nothing as he watched Kathleen and Chandler’s pleading faces. He silently took out a Healing Pill that had been cut in half from his pocket. He had prepared half a Healing Pill ahead.When he took out the pill, Kathleen became so emotional that she immediately burst into tears.The medicine pills looked pretty much the same. She thought the half pill Charlie took out was the Rejuvenating Pill her grandfather desired.She recalled the miraculous effect of the Rejuvenating Pill earlier. A quarter pill could easily save her grandfather. If he could take a half pill, his life could be extended by six to seven, maybe even ten years.She was overwhelmed by excitement, and didn’t know how to thank Charlie. While she was lost for words, Charlie interrupted her in a stoic tone, “Miss Fox, I must make this clear. This is not

Charlie looked at the elderly man lying weakly before him. He then introduced himself with a polite smile, “Nice to meet you, Lord Fox. I’m Charlie Wade.”Jordan could feel a bit of strength in his body. He seemed slightly stronger than before, so he tried to get up, though not without some struggle. When he finally managed to stand, he wanted to bow to Charlie. However, Charlie extended his arm and stopped him from doing so.“Lord Fox, you’re still weak. You don’t need to bow to me.”Jordan, however, felt very indebted. “Mr. Wade, I’ve heard of your greatness. To think I could finally meet you today… Thank you for saving me! Had it not been for your help, I'd probably be dead already…”Charlie waved his hand in dismissal. He glanced at Kathleen next to Jordan and said, “You should thank your granddaughter. If I didn’t owe her a favor, I wouldn’t have involved myself in this.”Charlie then added, “By the way, you should also thank Old Master Lennard for helping you.”Jordan nodde

Charlie didn’t attend college and didn’t receive any proper tertiary education. However, his family gave him a very good education before he was eight years old.He studied classical works under his mother’s guidance ever since he was a young child. He had thoroughly read books like Records of the Grand Historian and Classic of Poetry, and remembered them by heart. Naturally, he clearly remembered the names of his three uncles and youngest aunt.He couldn’t have imagined that the Number 99 bidder that was escorted out of the hall earlier would be his eldest uncle!That explained why he found Christian to be familiar-looking, yet he couldn’t put a finger as to where he had seen Christian.After all, the last interaction he had with his uncle was more than two decades ago. His uncle’s appearance had changed a lot since he was in his twenties. Therefore, Charlie couldn’t recognize Christian.Charlie pondered, ‘My uncle doesn't seem to be getting the Rejuvenating Pill for himself. Oth

Kathleen finally understood Charlie’s real identity. He could be their life-saver.She dropped her knees on the floor again and begged desperately, “Mr. Wade, please! Please help my grandfather take back his power…”Kathleen’s sudden request dumbfounded Jordan, who couldn’t understand why his granddaughter would beg Charlie to help.Charlie might have the Rejuvenating Pills, but even if he gave one to him, that would only allow him to live longer.He might survive, but that didn’t mean he could easily regain his power over the Fox family.His eldest son’s action was the same as eradicating him from the center of power. He was powerless, with no way to fight back at all. Moreover, he might not be able to return to the United States.His son might see him as a thorn if he returned to the United States. Therefore, Jordan was certain that his son would never let him return alive.Chandler was taken aback by Kathleen’s request, for he didn’t not expect Kathleen to figure out his true

Charlie sighed.He said grimly, “My parents passed away, but I survived.”Then, he asked Jordan, “Do you know anything about the reasons why my parents passed away?”Jordan shook his head. “Mr. Wade, the news of your mother’s death in Oskia was a great shock to the United States’ high society. Many claimed that she was murdered, but no one knew who the perpetrator was. It’s said that the Acker family has also been investigating her death, but to no avail. Outsiders like us wouldn’t know the reasons.”Kathleen also added, “Mr. Wade. After your mother’s passing, her peers at Stanford and several Silicon Valley bigwigs who have become top entrepreneurs through her investment have been trying everything to uncover the truth behind her death. Until today, they haven’t found any clear clues yet.”Charlie was disappointed to hear that. At first, he thought his parents were murdered by the Schulz family. When he finally found the Schulz family, however, he realized they weren’t capable of

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
