The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3940
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

Chandler’s words gave Jordan a huge reality check. Truly, Jordan couldn’t refute any of Chandle’s arguments. Chandler wanted to give his old friend a wake-up call once and for all, so he continued, “Jordan, you have to understand. Your son didn’t just seize your power willy-nilly. He even instigated everyone on the board of directors to overthrow you. Your obsession with the Rejuvenating Pill had gone overboard. You’ve even prepared two hundred billion US dollars just to win the auction! That must have alarmed your children, your board, and all the other shareholders.”“In other words, you’re no different than an old king who didn’t hesitate to exchange the power of his country in pursuit of longevity. Your descendants and followers couldn’t stand it anymore, so they lost their trust in you and stopped supporting you. They even regarded you as a failed king and a tyrant. They simply wanted to overthrow you so that everything will be normal again.”“You should think about it careful
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3943
Charlie’s words led Jordan to an epiphany. He realized he had been overly optimistic about his current predicament.His son wanted to see him dead overseas. His son thought that the faster he died, the better. What would happen if he defied his son’s expectations and continued to live on? After all, the Healing Pill guaranteed that he wouldn’t be dying anytime soon.Thought made Jordan shudder in fear. Kathleen began to panic as well. She hurriedly asked Charlie, “Mr. Wade, what should Grandpa do now…?”Charlie replied indifferently, “At a time like this, you shouldn’t think of trying to return to your peak. First, you must accept your failures and find a way to survive.”Chandler, too, grew slightly worried. “Mr. Wade, both of them don't have any support in Aurous Hill. They have Sir Jarvis with them, but if Jordan’s son discovers that Jordan is still alive, Jordan won’t be able to live in peace. When that happens, I fear that man might lose his patience and send someone after

Charlie’s revelation dumbfounded Kathleen and Jordan. He said it so easily, but it hit them like a bolt out of the blue.They had never expected the rumors to be so vastly different from reality. Word had it that the Wade family had to give away half their assets to the Ten Thousand Armies in order to be freed from Porter, the leader of Ten Thousand Armies. The truth turned out to be the complete opposite.The Wade family never ceded half their assets to Ten Thousand Armies. Instead, Charlie had taken the whole Ten Thousand Armies under his command. The Ten Thousand Armies, which was made of thousands of powerful mercenaries! A mercenary group couldn’t be compared to the American army. However, a wealthy family like the Fox family was incomparable in terms of scale and combat strength,Kathleen could barely process the newfound information. On the contrary, Jordan came to a sudden realization. He blurted out, “No wonder… That explains why Master Yant found it odd when we entered

Despite Charlie’s nonchalant words, Kathleen’s tears wouldn’t stop no matter how much she tried. She kept nodding as she sobbed, “Thank you, Mr. Wade… Thank you truly!”Charlie gave her a small smile before turning to Jordan again. “Lord Fox, please cooperate with us to make this work.”A few minutes later, several security personnel carried Jordan on a stretcher and rushed out of the VIP room in a flurry of panic. They hurried out of the hall with great fanfare while everyone watched in shock.The security personnel shouted as he ran, “Please give way! The patient is in a critical condition! We have to send him to the hospital at once!”Kathleen followed them, running and crying unstoppable tears.Everyone at the auction watched with widened eyes as they carried Jordan away. They burst into loud murmurs, speculating about the sudden incident. None of them expected Jordan to suddenly faint and force the auction to a pause. Issac quickly arranged a car to carry Jordan to the hosp

To Charlie, there was no need for him to expose his identity to the Acker family, particularly when he was still unsure if they were friend or foe.As for who in that family needed the Rejuvenating Pill, he wasn’t bothered to look into it for the time being.Chandler was in full agreement with Charlie’s conjecture.Since the Acker family could afford to send Christian to the auction to check the truth, it proved that their need for the Rejuvenating Pill was not so urgent. Otherwise, the one who needed it would have come over in person, just like Jordan did. Chandler nodded to Charlie and said with a smile, “Very well, Mr. Wade. I’ll be making my leave first.”Charlie said, “You may return and wait. I need to make some arrangements before resuming the auction.”At last, Chandler left the VIP room.Charlie waited until Chandler was gone before giving the person in charge of Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group a call. Once the call connected, he asked Autumn, “Autumn, are there any sh

“Understood, Mr. Wade.” Rosalie said immediately. “I’ll get to it right away.”…Charlie made all the necessary arrangements between returning to the control room.From the control room, he could see everyone in the auction hall was in complete silence. Everyone was patiently waiting for the auction to resume again. Bernard was particularly eager.His experience tonight was no different than riding a roller coaster. It finally reached its peak when Jordan announced his forfeit. But as time ticked away, Bernard’s anxiety reared its ugly head once more. He started to worry if anything would change again.At last, Jasmine finally received Charlie’s order and made an announcement on the microphone.“Ladies and gentlemen! Number 35 has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment due to a sudden illness. Since he has cancelled his purchase, Number 16 will be on the waiting list for a chance to purchase the last Rejuvenating Pill.”Bernard was so excited to hear, he clenched his

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
