The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4032
When the other gang members witnessed Porter easily twisting the gun, they started shivering in fear. Now that they had confirmed Porter’s identity, they were certain that they no longer had any chances of winning. Even if they tried to escape, they would be met with a dead end. Instantly, they dropped on their knees and groveled. It didn’t matter if there were many of them, or if the narrow staircase was crowded. All of them still knelt, too frightened to do anything else.Andre was now pale in fright. He looked at Charlie, trembling, all confidence and smugness gone like the wind. In a shaky voice, he asked, “Mr…Mr. Wade… This… What the hell is going on? Is there a misunderstanding?”Charlie replied with an easy smile, “There’s no misunderstanding. Didn’t you win a cargo ship from me? I’ll give it to you now.”Andre may be a colossal fool, but at this point, even a fool like him came to realize that Charlie had been pretending to be weak all this while. Right now, the famous

At that moment, Andre thought he had found a way out. Without an ounce of hesitation, he nodded and declared eagerly, “Mr. Wade, I’d like to join the Ten Thousand Armies!” Charlie nodded, pleased. Things were going right according to plan. He then turned to Gopher and asked, “What about you, Gopher? Are you interested in joining the Ten Thousand Armies?” Gopher looked up and said earnestly, “Mr. Wade, I…I’m more than interested… Joining the Ten Thousand Armies is such an honor!” He continued to flatter Charlie, adding, “Mr. Wade… Since our gang will be under your wing, there’s something I wonder if I should tell you…” Judging from the way Gopher’s eyes were darting around, Charlie knew that the man bore ill will. Still, whatever plot Gopher had wouldn’t shake him. And so, he waved and smiled leisurely, and said, “Go ahead.” Gopher began excitedly, “Mr. Wade, our country has an old adage saying that people of a different ethnicity or race can’t be trusted. Now that you’ve take

Someone in the crowd shouted in agreement, “Our salaries haven’t changed, but our workload sure has increased!” “Andre made us do the businesses our last boss didn’t permit, and that earned him a lot of money. But we received no extra compensation for our hard labor!” “None of us got a pay raise, but Andre’s income in the past few months has risen sharply. He’s even driving a Rolls Royce now!” These statements aroused dissatisfaction in the entire group. Everyone unanimously agreed that Andre wasn’t qualified to be a leader, so he must be dethroned at once. Charlie then asked them, “What would you think if Gopher becomes your boss from now on?” For a moment there, everyone went quiet and exchanged glances. Even if they were displeased with Andre, having an Oskian like Gopher lead them all of a sudden was hard to digest. After all, this was an Italian organization. Perhaps not all of them hailed from Sicily, but they still had Italian blood in their veins. An Oskian le

Andre’s confession sent all the Italian gang members thunderstruck. Someone glared at Gopher and demanded darkly, “Is Andre telling the truth?!” “O-of course not!” Gopher was quick to deny, but voice trembled slightly as he spoke. He pointed at Andre and snarled, “Shut up, Andre! Now that Mr. Wade is letting me be boss, you’re acting like I’m stealing all your influence! You know you’re at risk of losing power, so you slander me with a lie. You’re painting me as a shameless villain so Mr. Wade will be disappointed in me. But Mr. Wade is a brilliant man. He won’t fall for your lies!” At this, a strange grin appeared on Charlie’s face. He played along with Gopher and snapped icily, “Andre, your tactic is quite despicable! The way I see it, this b*stard, err, this man looks loyal and honest. His words are reliable, and he even has a good hairstyle. It’s obvious he’s a loyal person. He’d never be ungrateful.” Having said that, Charlie narrowed his eyes at Andre in distaste. His ton

Since dead men tell no tales, doing so meant that Gopher could secure an opportunity for himself. The instant Gopher stretched his hand out, Porter took action and seized his wrist with swift ease. He exerted a small bit of force on Gopher’s wrist, squeezing it lightly. Yet, that was enough to send Gopher wailing in pain. Charlie said, “Porter, don’t disable his hand. He won’t be of value if he’s crippled.” Gopher didn’t understand what Charlie meant by value, but he had witnessed Porter’s strength earlier and knew that the man only needed to exert a small amount of force to break his right arm. It was Charlie’s words that temporarily rescued him from that predicament. Porter nodded respectfully, obeying Charlie’s words. He turned to his subordinate and said, “Tie him up!” A soldier stepped forward to tie Gopher’s hands. He gave Gopher a kick for good measure, sending Gopher staggering before falling on his knees once more. As his final struggle had failed, Gopher slumped

Andre had tossed caution to the wind, no longer caring if he would be implicated as well. He feared that Charlie would actually promote Gopher. With the Gopher’s style of conduct, he would surely get rid of Andre the moment he got the chance. Andre would rather expose this incident than let Gopher make it to the top! This clear recording was actually a trump card he kept should he ever need to subdue Gopher. To think he ended up using it at a time like this… What rotten luck! In fact, Gopher himself was aware that Andre would definitely leave evidence behind. Since ancient times, proof of loyalty was simply leverage offered to the other party. If he wanted to join, he couldn’t be free of sin. This was an organization where people killed for goods and dominated territories with violence. No one would trust a person who was free of guilt, or treat him like part of them. The only way to join was to kill a few men himself. He even had to bring the heads of those he killed,

Out of curiosity, Charlie asked, “Oh? Do explain yourself. I’d like to know why you claim you didn’t have a choice.” After a brief pause, Charlie added, “Wait a moment. Let me call the victim over.” Charlie turned to Porter and said, “Porter, bring her in.” “Understood, Mr. Wade.” Porter nodded respectfully before leaving. Soon, he returned with Claudia. By now, Claudia’s face was covered in tears. She had been listening to the entire thing from the very beginning. When she heard the recording of Gopher and Andre’s conversation, terrible fury overcame her. She wanted to stab Gopher with her bare hands and avenge her family right that instant. She balled her hands into fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. Glaring daggers at Gopher, she snarled in a tone that held no mercy, “Gopher! It was my parents who took you in and gave you a new life when you had nowhere to go! Why did you kill them?” Upon seeing Claudia, Gopher blurted out in panic, “Claudia…! I…I was

At Gopher’s threat, Charlie stared at him with an amused smirk. “Wow! You’re nearing your death, but you’re still trying to harm Stephanie? I’m astonished.” Gopher wasn’t confident in his chances, but he knew this was his only way of surviving. Thus, he put on a savage expression and sneered at Charlie, “I’ve instructed my men to capture her when you were gambling at the casino! If you kill me, Stephanie will never see the light of day!” Charlie frowned. “Why did you want to kidnap Stephanie? How is a girl like her of any use to you? Or were you able to predict my plans?” Gopher gritted his teeth and went on, “In certain aristocratic societies, a girl like Stephanie is the strongest hard currency! Hell, she has more value than gold or jewelry! With her exceptional looks and the fact that she’s clean and not at all promiscuous, she can fetch up to a million dollars among the rich!” Then, Gopher added viciously, “Most of the rich men who bid on girls in auctions have mental iss

"Exactly!"Charlie agreed, striking the metal while it was hot. "To be honest, the years Matilda spent in the States would be wasted if she was actually still interested!" "She's a Wall Street veteran who'd definitely have met so many successful men! Why would she be interested in a loser like Jacbo Wilson? It's not like she returned from the States after thirty years to help the poor, don't you agree?"Charlie then finished with a sigh. "The way I see it? You're the only one who'd be interested in him."Jacob heard that from behind the wall and was left absolutely fuming and humiliated.He was the only one who knew that Matilda had come back for him—even if she was worth millions now.However, he just didn't have the spine to divorce Elaine and get together with Matilda.He presumed that it was no rush and that he could just give Elaine the silent treatment—who knew, she might just give in and ask for a divorce herself, and then, he would have no issues getting together with M

"Her real lover?!" Elaine exclaimed in shock. "What are you talking about?"Charlie put on a serious face as she said, "Matilda came back to Oskia for her one true love, who is now her fiance. His name is Yolden Hart, a top economist who's now a lecturer at Aurous Hill University, who was invited all the way from the States. He's a professional manager and used to work in Wall Street, so he'd be qualified to be a CEO in any Fortune 500 company…""Professional manager?" Elaine pouted. "That still means he's a wage slave!"Charlie laughed. "Don't underestimate professional managers now. Just look at Apple Inc.'s CEO—the man earns around a hundred million USD per year, and that's over seven hundred million in Oskian dollars!"Elaine was left gaping, unable to imagine how a wage slave could earn so much.At the same time, Charlie continued, "To be fair, Professor Hart wouldn't earn that much, but 50 million per year is still no sweat for him. Do you get the amount of money we're talki

Elaine appeared taken aback, and she promptly demanded, "You've met Matilda too?!"It was only then that Claire realized she had let the cat out of the bag, and she suddenly didn't know what to say. "Oh… Uh… Mom… I, uh… didn't?"Nonetheless, Elaine was suddenly pressing her menacingly, "If you've never met her, how would you know she's a serious person?!"As Claire stayed silent, Elaine broke down in tears. "No… You're lying to me too! Aren't you?!"While Claire was left at a loss of how she should salvage this mess, Charlie suddenly entered and said, "Claire didn't—but I did.""What?!" Elaine was left staring at Charlie, stunned.Still, she soon demanded, "Y-You've met Matilda?! Did Jacob take you with him to see her?""Yes," Charlie admitted, nodding.Elaine snapped right then, and she bellowed, "Then why didn't you tell me?! To think that I've always done right by you, treating you like my own son, but you wouldn't tell me that Jacob is cheating on me! Y-You disappoint me!"

Jacob certainly left Charlie speechless—the man might get kicked out of the house, but he was more worried about his car.Sighing in exasperation, he told Jacob, "Look, if it fails, I won't be able to get you a nice place, let alone leave the Cullinan with you."Jacob blurted out, "But why—""Don't forget—I'm still living in this house even if you're gone!" Charlie explained, his expression dead serious. "If I let you have a nice place and the Cullinan, God knows how terrible a grudge your wife would hold against me. I need to have a sense of self-preservation too!""If I got you a rundown apartment, I could at least defend myself even if she gets upset about that. I mean, I can't let you sleep in the streets, can I? Claire and I would be guilty of abandoning our elders."Seeing the serious look on Charlie's face, Jacob breathed a long sigh as he clapped him on the shoulder, groaning mournfully, "Oh, I get it. I wouldn't want to upset Elaine if I were in your shoes too…"Charlie

Charlie sighed. "I told you it'd blow up, Dad, but you had to doubt me.""I wasn't doubting you," Jacob promptly defended himself. "I thought I might catch a lucky break—"Charlie cut him short, "Fair enough. Then, how are you going to handle this? I can try to stop Mom from going to that wedding and prevent her from getting in the hall even if she went, but what's going to happen to the both of you? Do you want a divorce or do you want to stay with her?"The light in Jacob's faded as he shrugged and sighed. "If I could divorce her, I would've—and I would be living happily with Matilda now. What company would I have if I did it now? Do you think Elaine would let me stay in Thompson First, with that attitude of hers?""In the end, I'd be chased out without a place to stay, and I can't suffer the humiliation of moving back with my mom and brother, can I? Hell, they might not even take me back!""So, that's a no?" Charlie pressed.Jacob smiled wryly. "At my age, even if I could, I w

Hearing that Elaine was threatening suicide, Claire exclaimed urgently, "Take me to her now!"The traffic police officer quickly nodded. "Come on!"As the traffic police officer quickly led Claire to Elaine, Charlie arrived just then and gave chase after leaving the luggage by the entrance.Stopping them, he asked, "Excuse me, officer—where's the gentleman who came with Madam Parker? May I see him?""And who are you?" The traffic police officer asked."I'm his son-in-law," Charlier replied. "I was thinking that while my wife talks to her mom, I can talk to my father-in-law, make peace, and take them both home.""Oh, that'd be great!"The traffic police officer exclaimed and quickly beckoned at a colleague, "Come over. Take this gentleman to Jacob Wilson!""Okay!" The other traffic police officer was also quite enthusiastic.Charlie entered the room where Jacob was first, immediately seeing a disfigured Jacob taking deep puffs of his cigarette.Another traffic police officer w

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
