The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4039
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

The instant Gopher saw Stephanie, all of his hopes were crushed. At that moment, he knew full well that his fantasies were shattered, and that he would surely die! There was just one thing that he didn’t understand. How did Charlie find out that he would target Stephanie? Out of reflex, he asked Charlie, “So, you losing at the casino twice was just an act?!” Charlie snickered. “Of course. How could I forget the bait when I’m trying to fish?” Gopher was shocked. Then, he frowned and asked, “I don’t understand… You… You weren’t in Canada, so how did you know all this?! This is our organization’s internal secret. Only a handful of people in the organization know about it! And none of them know you, so they couldn’t possibly tell you!” Claudia scoffed. “Gopher, did you think I was oblivious to the things you were doing? You had someone mark Mrs. Lewis’s door. Of course I’d find out! I also knew what that mark meant. It was me who informed Mr. Wade, all for him to come to Canada

Gopher stared at Claudia in shock after hearing what she said. After a moment of hesitation, he dropped on his knees and choked out, “Claudia, I… I was confused. I beg you, give me a chance to change! I’m willing to do anything if you’ll spare my life! We’re relatives, after all! Blood runs thicker than water! Please spare me on account of that! Just this once!” Claudia’s face was icy. “Gopher, don’t you find it amusing to say something like that? You forsook the fact that we’re related by blood and killed my family. Yet now you dare beg me?! I’ve killed you in my dreams countless times every night in the past few months! I’ve been looking forward to the day my wish will come true, and now, I finally have the chance. I’d rather die with you than spare you!” Upon hearing that, Gopher knew that he was destined to die today. And so, he retracted his begging face and laughed. “Who would’ve known… You’re so young, but you’re already so cunning and cruel. Had I known this would happen, I

Ruthlessness was a merit on the premise that one wasn’t actively trying to hurt others. Many people allowed wicked villains to take advantage of them because they weren’t ruthless enough. However, eighteen-year-old Claudia was strong enough to not give her enemy any chances. Charlie said to Porter, “Porter, take this monster away. Tie the others up and bring them to the cargo hold. I want them to witness Gopher being burned to ashes.” Porter answered respectfully, “Understood, Mr. Wade. I’ll have it arranged at once.” Having said that, Porter commanded the Ten Thousand Armies soldiers to tie up the Italian organization members’ hands behind their backs with sturdy nylon cable ties. He then forced them to line up and walk to the cargo hold. A bulk carrier’s cargo hold was like a deep pit made of steel. Not only was it deeper than a ten-floor building, but the interior was also abnormally huge. Since the entire ship was basically empty, the place was quite spacious. About

He started wailing in fright. “Claudia, I’m begging you... Do it quickly! Just shoot me, please! You’ll be traumatized for the rest of your life if you choose to burn me today! You don’t want your conscience to be tortured every day, do you?!” Claudia shook her head and said firmly, “I want to move forward instead of living in hatred for the rest of my life. I’ll stop hating you once I watch you burn to ashes!” Having said that, she dug out the S. T. Dupont lighter that she had prepared for months from her pocket. Her late father had loved this type of lighter. It would make a crisp clicking sound when the cap was popped open. In the past, whenever she heard this sound, she knew that her father was smoking again, so she would nag at him for a bit. Upon her father’s passing, she had bought the same type of lighter. Whenever she missed her family, she would take out this lighter, listen to the familiar clicking sound, watch the light flicker, and reminisce the happy times she h

At that moment, Claudia seemed to be in a trance. The image of her parents and brothers smiling at her looked so realistic. Meanwhile, the raging fire of revenge was scorching her at such a close distance, and it even dried the tears that were streaming down her face. In the past, this monstrous hatred had forced her to move forward alone with heavy responsibility. Now, as her hatred disappeared along with this huge fire, she finally felt free for the first time in her life. However, compared to her, Stephanie was trembling in fright as she watched a person screaming while he was burned alive. She couldn’t help burying her face in Charlie’s arms and closing her eyes, refusing to watch. Nevertheless, Charlie patted her on the back and said gently, “Don’t be scared. This is what the world actually looks like.” Although Stephanie was an orphan, she had been taken in by the welfare institute at a very young age. Growing up, she not only had Mrs. Lewis’s care but also the prot

Charlie didn’t tell her the remainder of his thoughts. He would surely give them a chance, but instead of letting them go home to start a new life, they would have to follow the Ten Thousand Armies to the Middle East and change their ways there. Of course, his main purpose was to have them work hard. Whether or not they actually changed for the better wasn’t important to him. Subsequently, Claudia and Stephanie were escorted away from the cargo hold by a few female soldiers. The burnt Gopher remained erect in the middle of the warehouse with fumes still rising from his body. The warehouse that could hold about ten thousand tonnes worth of goods was now filled with a burnt smell. The Italian organization members, along with Andre, were all staring at Gopher’s corpse. Each of them looked horrified and afraid. Having them witness Gopher’s tragic death had deterred them a great deal. Andre even felt a heart attack approaching due to extreme fear that Charlie would do the same

Andre couldn’t possibly hesitate or doubt Charlie after hearing this. He had watched how Gopher died from start to finish, so right now, he wanted nothing more than to live. Thus, he quickly nodded his head. “Mr. Wade, I’m willing to cooperate... I’m willing to serve Ten Thousand Armies!” Charlie nodded. “I’m giving you ten minutes. List out all the members in your organization with your subordinates. Remember, I want a list of all the members, so don’t leave out even a single name!” Andre dared not disobey, so he quickly gathered the leaders among his subordinates, and they started making a member’s list. Ten minutes later, a name list with eight hundred and seventy names was presented. After Charlie scanned through it, he said to Andre, “Now, inform the members who aren’t present here to hurry to the port at once. If you can’t contact them, put a mark beside their names.” Andre said no more. Under the surveillance of Ten Thousand Armies soldiers, he and the sub-leaders

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
