In her Rolls-Royce, Jasmine sent Charlie all the way to the supermarket.Soon, the majestic Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the supermarket. Charlie said to Jasmine as he exited the car, “Thanks for the ride. Bye.”Jasmine nodded at him, her expression complex and ambiguous. “Have a nice day, Master Wade. You’re always welcome at Glorious Club, please come to enjoy the facilities whenever you’re available, I’ll always be there and will personally serve you myself.”Charlie smiled lightly and replied, “Okay, I’ll drop by when I’m free. Bye.”Jasmine nodded. “Okay, Master Wade, bye.”She bid farewell to Charlie respectfully. As she watched him disappear into the crowded supermarket, she sighed, crestfallen.She felt very unjust and disappointed when Charlie, the true dragon with superb strength, had to rush to the supermarket to buy ingredients to make dinner before his wife got off work.She had met Claire before. Indeed, Claire was very beautiful and elegant as she did, but Clai

After getting home and finished making dinner, Jacob, who had been out all day, came home first, then followed by Claire who had been busy at work the whole day.After all the food was served on the table, Elaine hurried back happily and said proudly, “Hey guys, I won more than seven grand from playing cards today!”Jacob gasped reflexively, “Wow, dear, that’s awesome! Seven grand a day, that’s two hundred and ten grand a month!”Claire frowned, displeased. “Mom, I don’t mind if you play cards occasionally in your leisure time and a little winning is understandable too, but seven grand a day? Isn’t that a bit too much? Careful not to get addicted, it’s very risky!”Elaine waved her hand in disdain and snapped, “Hey, I know what I’m doing, don’t you come to lecture me about it. My card mates are a bunch of rookies, they are far worse than me. I can win even with my eyes closed! Don’t you know your mom’s nickname around here? The Queen of Cards, that’s me!”Claire sighed helplessly

Honestly, Charlie didn’t want to go. In fact, he would even reject Claire’s offer if it wasn’t for Elaine meddling between them like that.The reason why he didn’t want to go was that he was rather repulsed by Loreen right now.Ever since Loreen found out that he was her life savior and her dream lover after he rescued her for the second time, she had been confessing to him repeatedly.Now that she asked his wife to the hot springs and insisted on inviting him, his wife might be the cover for her real intention of wanting to see him.It would be very awkward and unpleasant if he did go.However, he was irritated and annoyed by Elaine’s babbling and nagging.‘You don’t want me to go, huh? I will go then! Bite me!’Elaine didn’t expect Charlie to disobey her. She was panting and huffing with anger, but she couldn’t say anything in front of Claire.Since Charlie had agreed to go, Claire said, “Loreen booked rooms at Champs Elys Spa Resort in the suburbs, it is said to be the prope
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 416
Before going out, Charlie was still a little hesitant and reluctant.He didn’t know how to deal with a passionate and bold girl like Loreen. He didn’t want to hurt her feelings and more importantly, he didn’t want to betray Claire.He was in a complete dilemma right now.He was worried that Loreen would confess to him again during the hot springs getaway and she might make an even bolder move too.On the other hand, since he had promised his wife, it was impossible to retract his promise, so he could only go ahead with the plan.As they went downstairs, they saw Loreen poking her head out of a Mercedes-Benz and saying, “Charlie, put the luggage in the trunk and sit in the back. Let Claire sit in the front and chat with me on the way!”“Okay!” Charlie nodded, put the luggage in the trunk, and squeezed into the back seat.When he sat down, Loreen turned and winked at him shyly.Pretending not to see it, Charlie stretched himself and said, “Oh, I’m so tired. I didn’t sleep well la

Loreen was very upset and pissed as well. She was the daughter of the Thomas family and there was no way she would take the blame so innocently, so she pushed the door, got out of the car immediately, and shouted back, “Hey, shut up! It’s your fault in the first place! Can’t you see I was reversing into the spot? Are you f*cking blind? How dare you scold me first!”The young man did not expect that Loreen would talk back at him. He yelled, “Oh my f*cking god, another stupid female driver! Nine out of ten dumbest drivers on the road are women! Can you even f*cking drive? If you can’t, go back to your mother’s womb and learn how to drive before you come out again, don’t embarrass yourself like this!”Then, he added, “I’ve just bought this car for a hundred grand and you’ve scratched it, goddamnit! How much do you want to pay?”Loreen frowned and retorted, “Hey, first things first! I saw the space first and was already halfway into it when you came out of nowhere and tried to snatch th

The young man turned back to Charlie with a vicious look and cursed, “Hey, kid, you’d better compensate us while I’m still asking nicely! My girlfriend and I want to go to the hot springs, so be a good dog, and get the hell out of here!”Charlie said coldly, “What if I don’t want to?”The young man sneered. “A bunch of poor, pretentious jerks. Wait here, I’ll let you know the consequences of not paying.”Then, he took out his phone and started calling someone. “Hey, Mr. Hicks, I came to your resort and some idiots scratched my car at the bloody parking lot. They’ve refused to compensate me and are messing with me right now. Get some guys here right away!”After ending the call, the young man smirked and said, “Loser, I’ll give you one last chance to to compensate me for the damage and apologize to me right now. When Mr. Hicks comes here later, you’re gonna be so dead!”Loreen was afraid that Charlie would get hurt so she quickly said, “Okay, fine, it’s my unlucky day today. How m
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 419
The young man was outraged when Charlie suddenly stopped Loreen and was so direct with him. He growled, “Okay, jerk, if you want to be killed, be my guest! I’ll strip my last name off if I don’t beat you half to death later!”Charlie said flatly, “Since you like to show off so much, I can suggest a new last name for you—showoff.”“Motherf*cker!” The young man was so pissed that he was about to jump on Charlie any second now.Right at this moment, a chubby middle-aged man sprinted towards them with a few brawny guards in tow.The young man smiled as soon as he laid eyes on the chubby man. “Hey, Mr. Hicks, I haven’t seen you in a few days, you’re getting bigger now. It seems that you have quite an enjoyable life, huh!”Mr. Hicks giggled and said, “Mr. Lloyd, how can my life be comparable to yours? I’m just one of the menial staff members under Mr. Cameron, unlike you with your big and diversified family business.”Then, he quickly asked, “By the way, Mr. Lloyd, what’s going on here
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 420
“Hey, what’s going on? What’s with the noise?”Mr. Hicks shuddered in shock when he heard the voice. He turned around and said respectfully, “Don Albert, are you done with your hot springs? How is it?”“Good,” Albert answered indifferently and then asked, “What are you doing there?”Albert said this while walking towards the parking with his men.“Oh, it’s just some pathetic jerk hitting Mr. Lloyd. I was about to avenge him. The kid isn’t very capable but is very skittish.”Clutching his stomach, Marcus greeted, “Hi, Uncle Rhodes, long time no see.”Albert looked at him and laughed. “Oh, it’s you, Marcus! Hey, what’s wrong with your charisma? How can you be beaten in Aurous Hill? You put your father’s reputation to shame!”Albert and Marcus’s father were quite close, so Marcus could be considered his nephew. He spoke rather directly and in an elderly manner.Marcus didn’t dare to talk back to Albert, so he said sheepishly, “Uncle Rhodes, I bumped into some miserable jerk. I’ll

"Invest?!"Billy was left dumbstruck at the term.What even was this fool up to? This definitely wasn't in the script! What about the questions he was supposed to ask? It was like sitting for a grade-schooler test and suddenly being hit with a bar exam!In the car, Jacob blurted out, "What the hell is that bastard thinking? Is he really going to pay 250 thousand?!"Zachary pursed his lips. "Maybe he's just throwing us bait. Think about it—if we took the deal, we'd have to leave a contact number.""After that, he would trick us and say he sold it for ten million and lure us in for the five million. We'd definitely show up, wouldn't we? Once we came, it might turn out that he has called the cops and would even produce\ the bronze sculpture as evidence. Wouldn't we be just shooting ourselves in the foot?"Jacob was left in misery, his face contorting as he pouted, "But you said the cops wouldn't get involved…"Zachary rolled his eyes, "Yes, they wouldn't most of the time since that

However, neither Zachary nor Jacob expected Raymond to confuse them further as he asked Billy, "If you can afford to wait, you can leave the bronze sculpture with me as a consignment. I'll only take 10% off the sales while you get the rest—how about that?"Jacob was stunned and asked Zachary, "What the hell is he up to? Did he get too deep into character?"Zachary shook his head. "I don't get it either… is he trying to keep the bronze sculpture to use as evidence against us?"Jacob frowned. "I thought you said there was a gentleman agreement in this business, and the cops won't really care anyway?"Zachary snorted. "He said he would keep it as a consignment, meaning that he won't spend a dime. What if he told all the antique dealers instead of going to the cops? He would prove that he's sharp, making a name for himself… and what can we do? Do we take back the bronze sculpture? Even if we do, can we really ask for it?'"Fuck!" Jacob swore. "Then what are we waiting for? Tell Billy
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6468
In Treasure Measure, even Billy was having a hard time understanding what was going on.Before he came, Zachary made it very clear that he was here to dupe Raymond Cole, and he had come.As such, his job was now to claim that this bronze sculpture which was made in the last century was actually from the Renaissance era and then sell it to Raymond at a cutthroat price.But now, Raymond himself was saying that it was medieval? What was that supposed to mean?Even as he was left confused, he blurted out, "Sir, if you say it's from medieval times… then how much is it worth?"Raymond thought about it and said, "It's quite an unpopular item, but it's not to say that no one would buy it or that no one likes it. The main issue is that there were plenty of wars at that time, and most bronze would be used for weapons. Copper production would be low with rationing as well, so bronze tools were naturally rare for civilians.""Gilding is common for better quality items, and from the northern

Zachary couldn't help pointing at the screen and snapping, "Fucking loser! The more you feel pressed, the less you should be nervous! What are you thinking?! You're falling right under that bastard's trap!"Jacob was frustrated too, growling through his teeth, "Shit! I didn't think that bastard was a sly old fox. Fucking hell!"He then sighed, shaking his head. "Forget it, Zachary—I'm going home to pack my shit, and I'll depart for Dubai first thing tomorrow. Just handle that bronze sculpture for me and wire the money over."As he was about to get off, Zachary sighed in exasperation and apologetically said, "Sorry, Mr. Wilson… but it's fine! Even if this plan screwed up, just let me cook up another plan to destroy Raymond Cole!"Jacob ignored him as he strode out of the car, but that was when Raymond spoke audibly from Zachary's phone, "You can calm down. I'm not accusing you of lying to me. I just think that it's not Renaissance… Rather, it's medieval.""E-Early medieval…?" Billy

In Treasure Measure, Raymond unwrapped the red cloth around the bronze sculpture in front of Billy and the camera.There was a brief flash of surprise on his face, and it was soon gone.Still, he picked up the bronze sculpture, fiddling with it as he asked, "Do you know where it's from?""Yeah," Billy nodded. "A Renaissance-era sculpture. I think the base makes it obvious."Raymond looked up at him and asked in curiosity, "Are you sure about that?"Billy, presuming that Raymond had already noticed a catch, quickly said, "Well, the old man had an expert check it, and the expert said it was immediately obvious! To be honest, I want to sell it because the old man just passed away—gotta sell this baby before my brother goes for a garage sale."He had certainly added more details to the script, and Raymond nodded as he said nonchalantly, "But it doesn't look Renaissance to me. Sculptures from that era—be it the craftsmanship or the unique attributes? It's quite different from this one

In the antique trade, items that raised eyebrows would only be shown in the evenings—when various shops were about to close.That was certainly the case in Antique Street, as most items arriving in the evening were either freshly excavated, stolen, or forgery used to dupe unsuspecting victims.Even if Raymond had started his career abroad, he had learned every last unspoken rule during his earlier stint in Aurous Hill.Seeing the wariness on Billy's face and the way he was holding something in his arms, Raymond knew right away that what he carried wasn't legal.Still, the antique trade was no different here than it was abroad.Tomb raiding, forgery, or adding some touch-ups that increased the value of an item—everyone across the globe pretty much played the same tricks, and Raymond had his fair share of experience.Still, he did not let his wariness show, instead grinning, "Yes, of course. Come on in—let's talk inside!"And with that, he quickly led Billy inside.Meanwhile, bot

"Five hundred grand?"Mick chuckled. "Well, the sculpture looks Renaissance, and the craftsmanship as well as the material are all ideal. It would sell for up to two million in an auction, while established antique traders like us could offer up to a million. So, why the lowball?"Bill sighed. "I won't lie—it belonged to my old man, who just croaked this afternoon. But you see, he left a will stating that every antique in the house would be given to my brother… Since he's playing favorites, I thought I had to get something for myself.""That's why I quietly sneaked this baby out without anyone else knowing and am trying to sell it quickly to change my own circumstances. You don't have to tell me how many millions it's worth—I'm not that greedy. Give me five hundred grand, and it's yours."Mick shrugged as he shot back, "If it's as you say and your old man intended for your brother to have it, the fact that you sneaked it out here makes this theft. Do you think I'd buy stolen proper

It was half past six, and the skies were darkening when a figure hurried into Antique Street, heading straight toward the center—to Vintage Deluxe.Mick Crane, the manager, was holding the fort with some of his employees, and there were some guests window shopping there as well. As Mick asked the employees to assist the guests, he waited anxiously for Billy—Zachary's henchman.Nonetheless, a certain figure rushed inside within minutes, asking eagerly as he entered, "Is the manager in? Do you still buy antiques?""Yes, and yes!" Mick exclaimed as he approached Billy enthusiastically, asking, "May I ask what you're planning to sell?"Billy looked around before sneakily holding up a parcel wrapped in red cloth, carefully lifting a corner to reveal an edge so that Mick could see.Then, he promptly lowered the cloth again, whispering, "This is the good stuff. I'm just not sure if you have the money to buy it."Mick grinned. "What are you saying? If it's something Vintage Deluxe coul

Jacob chuckled. "Can't tell you right now. But I will once it's done.""Well, have you decided when we're going to Dubai?" Elaine quickly pressed.Jacob said, "I'd have to wait until tonight to see if this deal works, but we're leaving first thing tomorrow. I'll get the tickets first, and we will be staying at the Burj Al-Arab that I told you about. People are always saying how amazing it is on the internet every day, seeing how luxurious the seven-star hotel is, but I'll be the judge of that."Elaine was overjoyed to hear that. "That's amazing! And I was just thinking we can't go sooner! Go about your business, then. I'll pack our luggage right away."Jacob chuckled smugly. "Don't pack so much, though. Just stick to the necessities, since we can get the rest over there!""Alright!" Elaine exclaimed, beside herself in excitement. "Alright, you hurry up and get your thing done over there. I'll start packing now!"After hanging up, Elaine called Charlie, who was in Champs Elys Reso
