The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4013
Gopher was over the moon. He took the money and made a beeline for the counter, all too happy to exchange them for chips. This time, he didn’t get chips of a hundred for Charlie. The smallest value of the chips started from a thousand, and then to two thousand, five thousand and ten thousand.When Gopher returned with the chips, he placed them respectfully in front of Charlie and said politely, “Mr. Wade, your chips. You can count them.”“No need.” Charlie didn’t even bother to look at them. He took out a chip worth ten thousand Canadian dollars and threw it at Gopher with an indifferent drawl, “This is for you.”“Oh! Thank you, Mr. Wade. You’re so generous!”Gopher was flattered. Gratitude filled his heart as he kept thanking Charlie, joy spreading throughout all of his body. Charlie ignored him, took another ten-thousand-dollar chip, and placed it on the table as he knocked on the table top. He turned to the dealer and said, “Come on. Deal the cards.”The dealer nodded befo

Charlie then instructed Gopher, “Send us back.”Gopher was now a diligent lackey. He said eagerly, “This way please, Mr. Wade!”After leaving the casino, Gopher drove the three back to Mrs. Lewis’ house.They had only gone out for two hours, mainly because Charlie had lost all his money so quickly.Before getting out of the car, Gopher said to Charlie respectfully, “Have a good rest tonight, Mr. Wade. I’ll come and pick you up again tomorrow night!”After saying that, he hurriedly added, “By the way, Mr. Wade. Will it be convenient for you to leave me your contact information? I’ll contact you in advance tomorrow night.”“No need,” Charlie said casually. “You can just call Claudia at that time.”Gopher nodded. “That’s fine. I’ll call Claudia tomorrow.”Charlie let out a small hum as he pushed the car door open. He got out and entered the villa together with the company of the two girls. Gopher watched as Charlie’s back disappeared. A smug grin danced on his lips and he let ou

Charlie knew that at this moment, Gopher would be filled with the thoughts of the two million Canadian dollars he had promised tomorrow. Thus, Gopher wouldn’t care about kidnapping Stephanie for the time being. Things happened the way he had predicted, and the night passed safely and soundly without a single hiccup. When Charlie woke up that morning, he received a phone call from Porter. Porter said respectfully, “Mr. Wade. I and three hundred of my subordinates from Ten Thousand Armies have already arrived in Vancouver. We’re ready to be at your disposal at any time!”Charlie was startled. “Porter? Why are you here?”Porter replied quickly, “There’s nothing important in the Middle East for the time being. I know you’re in urgent need of manpower, so I personally brought these men here.”As Porter spoke, he then asked, “Mr. Wade, feel free to give us your orders if you have any. We’ll do our best to carry them out!”Charlie said, “You should find a place to settle down first

Later, they went down for breakfast. There, Stephanie suggested, “Brother Charlie, why don’t we just close the convenience store today? The three of us will take you around Vancouver together!”Charlie laughed. “Sorry, Stephanie. I have some business to take care of later.”Mrs. Lewis was curious. “Charlie, do you have other things to do in Vancouver?”Charlie replied with a warm smile, “Mrs. Lewis, the Wade family’s ocean shipping company happens to be looking at a cargo ship in Vancouver. Since I’m here, I’ll take a look at the port and go through the transaction procedures at the same time.”Mrs. Lewis didn’t doubt his words. “The port’s not that far from here. Let Stephanie send you there.” Charlie rejected her offer gently. “No need, Mrs. Lewis. I can just take a taxi there myself.”He turned to Stephanie and said, “Stephanie, you should just go to the convenience store as usual. I’ll drop by the store after I’m done.”At his words, Stephanie nodded and stopped insisting.

Soon, day turned into night and the sky darkened. After dinner, Gopher took his boss’s Rolls-Royce and drove diligently to Mrs. Lewis’s house. There, he waited diligently for Charlie to appear. Charlie came out of the villa alone, carrying a huge sports bag over his shoulder.The bag was filled with two million Canadian dollars that he had just cashed out earlier that day, in addition to the materials for the cargo ship that he just bought.Upon seeing Charlie, Gopher’s eyes lit up immediately. The thought of money was pushing him into cloud nine. Eager, he leapt out of the car and opened the door to the passenger’s seat for Charlie in advance. When Charlie reached him, greeted respectfully, “Please get in the car, Mr. Wade!”Charlie nodded, not saying anything. He was about to put the bag into the car when Gopher quickly stretched out his hands and offered with an enthusiastic grin, “Let me help you put the bag in, Mr. Wade. I insist!”Charlie did not refuse, and watched quietly

Charlie smiled in return and said casually, “Thank you for your kindness, Andre. I came to Vancouver for a personal errand, but I’d be happy to play a couple of games with you. There’s probably nothing that I’ll need to trouble you with.”Charlie raised his brow and let out an easy laugh. “But if you have the opportunity to visit Oskia in future, you can contact me if you encounter any trouble. Do pay attention, I’m talking about the whole Oskia. My influence isn’t just limited to a certain city. I’m quite renowned in that country.”Andre felt a little annoyed after hearing this. The implication behind Charlie’s words was clear as day. Charlie had a powerful influence in an entire country, compared to Andre, who only had a tiny fraction of power limited to just a small city. Andre knew it was a clear jab on him. Charlie was making it clear that he thought little of Andre. The realization gave rise to a small burst of anger. Andre was seething.He was a merciless character who

Never did the bunny girl imagine that Charlie would be so generous. All sorts of emotions colored her face. She was stunned, surprised, and delighted, all at the same time. Gripping the two chips in her hand, she stammered in excitement, “Sir… You… You… This…”She couldn’t believe that Charlie would give her the chips worth twenty thousand dollars without so much as a blink. It was too good to be true! According to the rules of the casino, the chips are a currency issued by the casino and can be exchanged for cash at any time.The moment she exited the door, she could immediately exchange the two plastic chips for twenty thousand Canadian dollars!The bunny girl was over the moon. She could scarcely believe there was someone in this world who would be so generous. Charlie studied her expression of delight with a small smile. “Don’t worry, just take it. It’s a tip for you.”Then, he deliberately glanced at the other bunny girl who was standing at Andre’s side.Jealousy, envy,

Having said that, Gopher turned around and left the room. Charlie was left with Andre, the dealer, and the two bunny girls.Charlie didn’t bother to give the dealer any psychological hints, nor did he put on an act.He planned to lose two million Canadian dollars first, and then barter his cargo ship, and lose it in the game as well.In this completely unfair poker game, Charlie and Andre’s poker luck was simply lopsided. In just under an hour, Charlie lost half of his two million Canadian dollars’ worth of chips. Andre, on the other hand, grew more and more excited. He had never made money as quickly as he did tonight! The thought of earning one million Canadian dollars in the span of an hour was so much that he felt he was floating in the sky.At this moment, one of Gopher’s subordinates approached him and whispered to Gopher, “Mr. Gopher, we’ve already succeeded in capturing several prey. They’re all at the port, waiting to be delivered to the high seas tomorrow. Are you st

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
