After Spencer downed his glass, he began seeing double images. The dizziness made him faint, and he felt as though he had just been punched in the gut.Xavion had no courage to go against his father, so he could only wait for Spencer to finish before proceeding to hurriedly swallow the remaining liquor in his glass.By then, the time on Charlie’s stopwatch hadn’t reached a minute yet.When Charlie saw the father and son duo gasping for breath, their faces flushed red, he grinned. He waved his hand and said cheerfully, “Come, now! Have a second drink. I’d like to trouble Master Fox to refill the wine glasses!”Xavion’s legs were already beginning to sway, but he dared not disobey Charlie’s command. He could only tremble as he picked up the wine glass once again, and poured two more glasses for his father and himself. Immediately afterwards, Charlie looked at the stopwatch again and said, “Let’s stick to the old rules. I’ll give you one minute each to drink your respective glasses.

Xavion hurriedly replied, “I’ll do it myself, sir. I’ll do it myself!”He fumbled to fill up another glass with liquor, forcing himself to endure the severe dizziness as he gulped the burning alcohol down his throat.Soon, he could feel the alcohol’s effects getting stronger and stronger. Not daring to delay any longer, he hurriedly filled up the last glass while he was still conscious, and drank it all. After finishing the last glass of liquor, Xavion felt his stomach burning, as if it was on fire. He had gone through four glasses, and now, he sensed that he was on the verge of collapse. When he saw that his task was already completed, he heaved a sigh of relief before collapsing on the ground with a heavy thud.When Charlie saw that both the father and son had passed out, he stood up and said to Quinn, “Nana, we won’t have an appetite if we look after two drunks. Why don’t we go somewhere else?”Quinn stuck her tongue out cheekily and said, “Okay, Brother Charlie. Even the smel

Oskiatown.When Charlie and Quinn arrived at Janus’ roast goose restaurant, it was to find him busy cleaning up together with his other workers.It was already long past noon, and there were no more customers in the restaurant. Quinn was also not worried about getting recognized, so she simply put on a mask and entered the restaurant with Charlie without any care in the world. As soon as both went past the door, the sensor rang, reminding Janus that there were guests. The busy man spoke without raising his head, “Sorry, we are closed.”Charlie smiled. “Feel free to prepare something for us to eat. We haven’t eaten yet.”Upon hearing Charlie’s voice, Janus turned his head and saw that Charlie was here together with Quinn. Delighted, he smiled and said joyfully, “Oh, my! Why haven’t the both of you eaten until now?”Quinn hooked Charlie’s arm and greeted daintily, “Hello, Uncle Janus!”Charlie’s smile widened. “Uncle Janus, we went for a walk at the Fox family’s manor around noon

Janus replied, “In fact, the restaurant’s already closed. The two people that you just saw are my old friends’ children. It’s already so late, but they haven’t eaten lunch yet. So I told them to go upstairs.”Janus then added, “But since you’re already here, I can’t possibly let your trip here be for naught. Do take a seat on the first floor. Tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll prepare it for you right away.”“Okay.” Christian nodded with a smile. “Thank you, Boss.”He then said to Merlin, “Merlin, feel free to sit down. I’ll let you try the best Oskian-style roast goose in all of New York.”Merlin smacked his lips in anticipation. “Geez. I actually just want to have a couple of drinks right now.”His gaze fell on the small wine cabinet behind the restaurant counter. Surprised, he asked, “Boss, you sell Macallan here?”“Yes.” Janus smiled . “It’s imported from Oskia. Would you like to try a bottle?”Merlin grinned cheerfully. “Yes! Give us two bottles!”Christian teased, “Yo

Meanwhile, Janus had come up with two dishes. One was the signature Oskian-style roast goose, and the other was his specialty dish, a marinated meat platter. He placed the dishes in front of Charlie and Quinn, and then whispered to them, “Young Master Wade, Miss Golding. There’s a regular customer in the restaurant along with the Oskian detective, Merlin Lammy. You shouldn’t go down for the time being.”Charlie hurriedly asked, “Uncle Janus. Merlin Lammy did not recognize you, right?”“No,” Janus said. “Previously, I dressed very differently from the usual. Besides, it was only a one-sided encounter, so it might be a little difficult for him to remember me. I deliberately tested it just now. He didn’t recognize me at all, so it should be fine.”“That’s good.” Charlie was slightly relieved. Out of curiosity, he asked again, “Uncle Janus, do you know the middle-aged man who came with Merlin Lammy?”Janus replied, “I’ve known him for a long time. He was always a regular, but I don’t

Christian said seriously, “Merlin, you have to be a little more optimistic! Aren’t you just suffering a minor setback in your strongest field? I’m telling you, it doesn’t matter.”Christian pointed at himself and said, “Look at me! I’ve been treated as a guest of honor for so many years, no matter where I go. Even if the other party is a man who’s in his nineties, he’d take the initiative to stand up to give me the best seat. Yet, I got kicked out in front of so many people when I went to an auction some time ago. At that time, I really felt like digging a hole in the ground to hide. But just look at me now! I’ve already gotten over it!”“No matter how well you do as a human, it’s impossible for everyone to give you respect. Similarly, as a detective, no matter how good your professional skills are, you won't be able to solve all cases.”“You have to learn to accept failures and try your best to stay calm at the same time. When you look back at this matter again after some time, you

Christian was deeply shocked. He instantly stood up and demanded, “What happened?”Charlie’s aunt Lulu, who was on the other end of the line, choked as she said, “The doctor said it’s a brain hemorrhage…”“Brain hemorrhage?” Christian parroted, anxious. “What exactly happened?”Lulu sobbed, “Dad’s mental state has been really bad recently… He’s unable to sleep during this period of time. He also seems to be feeling very miserable, and is in a very bad mood… He’s also very resistant to doctors, even as his body gets weaker and weaker…”“Just now… Dad went to the bathroom by himself and suddenly fainted. He fell into a coma right after. The doctor rushed over and claimed that it was a brain hemorrhage, and that it’s caused multiple organ failures. Dad’s in a deep coma now, and he only has one or two days left at most…”Christian grew more anxious and blurted out, “How could he suddenly have multiple organ failures?! What have so many of the doctors been doing?! Can’t they cure Dad?”

At the same time, Charlie, who was on the second floor, had an ugly expression. He heard the phone call between Christian and his youngest aunt, Lulu, and he knew that his grandfather’s life was hanging by a thread now.At this moment, he could not help but feel his heart tense up.He couldn’t understand how his grandfather who was so rich and was only in his seventies, could be dying so early.According to his youngest aunt’s description over the phone, his grandfather’s life was already hanging in the balance. Aside from Charlie’s medicine, no other medicine in this world would be able to treat him.In other words, his grandfather might not be able to overcome this hurdle if he didn’t help. In any case, the man was his mother’s father. Charlie also had a quarter of his blood running in his veins. Charlie couldn’t let his grandfather die without saving him, no matter how much prejudice he had against the latter.However, he was still not mentally prepared to meet with his gra

Jacob shrugged. "If Hannah's debt is cleared, then she's fine now, no?""Yeah," Elaine replied. "I heard from an old friend not two days ago, saying that the document of her non-arrest… non-prosecution or whatever was sent in. Once it's approved, she's free to go home.""Most likely non-prosecution," Charlie replied."Right, I think that's it!" Elaine nodded repeatedly and sighed unhappily. "She's really been let off easy. She should be arrested and jailed for at least ten years."Jacob couldn't help sighing. "Come on, dear—Mom and Chris were out of line, but things are terrible for them now as it is. There's no reason to hope for the worst for them since Harold and Chris are still too hurt to work. It's thanks to Wendy's income that they have a living, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive."Then, worried that Elaine would get upset that he might be siding with his brother and mother too much, he quickly added, "I'm not taking their side or trying to get their case reinvest

Charlie actually had to change his opinion of Elaine after seeing her ready to kill Jacob earlier but getting all clingy now.Despite her many flaws, Elaine was the one half of their marriage who was earnestly in love.As for Jacob, he didn't seem to have any genuine feelings for Elaine at all.The mere mention of his past with Elaine always left him grumbling and complaining, but now, it was clear that Elaine was his best choice. With his attitude and the way he did things, he and Matilda would have split up by now even if they had gone to the States together.In the end, Jacob simply had too many of the flaws common amongst men his age, but while others would have no more than five out of twenty of those flaws, he had eighteen.As such, from another perspective entirely, the only woman who could tolerate Jacob now was Elaine and only Elaine. Coincidentally, her straightforward personality and tendency to get violent was the perfect counter against all of Jacob's flaws, reducing

Elaine nodded, emotional as well. "Well, Claire's finally home after being in the States for so long. Let's stop being clowns already—let's go home!"Jacob nodded, utterly relieved and teary-eyed. "Yes! Let's go home!"Meanwhile, Claire was left dumbfounded even as she watched while Charlie was left wiping the sweat off his brow—they had really just snatched victory from the jaws of defeat there!And it looked like they had truly succeeded in clearing any suspicion Elaine had of Matilda, and she most likely would do her best to avoid running into Matilda as well.That way, all the nonsense he had said wouldn't be exposed.Still, as Claire came to her senses, she told Charlie, "Darling, that was amazing! You somehow managed to talk your way out of that!"Charlie chuckled in embarrassment. "I had no choice but to sacrifice my pride for the peace in the family."Claire hugged his arm and giggled happily, "There's no victory without sacrifice. You're the best, dear!"-Meanwhile,

Though Jacob had nothing going for him, he had always had a huge ego, and he had never once admitted that he would lose to anyone in the presence of his wife and daughter.That was why both Elaine and Claire were shocked when he suddenly openly admitted that he was a piece of shit in front of them. They had never heard such a thing from him in the decades they had lived with him!In fact, Jacob himself was reluctant to insult himself like that.However, Charlie told him repeatedly that he absolutely must say it before he came here—because Charlie was dead sure that this line was the key to getting over this impasse, and it truly did put this crisis to rest.Even as Jacob finished, his heart was bleeding as he felt like he had just put his pride on the floor and trampled all over it until it was crushed to oblivion. Even though it was to clear any suspicion Elaine held toward him, to call himself a piece of shit—to say it himself that his beloved woman would think him beneath her,

Before Elaine knew it, she was reading the website she had just read again, and she did indeed find Yolden's name on it.With that, everything Charlie had said snapped together into a perfect chain of logic.Seeing the troubled look on her face, Charlie quickly added, "I'm not going to lie—Dad told me right away when he was told Matilda was getting married. We even discussed if we should tell you, and now you know why." "Matilda is doing so well for herself and got such an amazing husband, and they've picked Shangri-La's Sky Garden—something an average Joe could never hope to reach. And since she invited our whole family and not just us, Dad had to really think about it.""Eventually, he told me to hide it from you or it'd leave you devastated, so none of us said anything. We just didn't think you'd find that invitation and then end up having a big fight about it."Sighing, Charlie then continued, "But if you really want to go, we can go together for their wedding to put your min

Bitterness swelled in Elaine's heart as she really didn't think that Matilda was doing so well for herself.The fact that Matilda was worth millions alone made her far superior.At the same time, she was also rejoicing that she had never actually met Matilda. If Matilda asked how she was doing directly, how would she respond?In the end, Matilda was no Hannah Queen.Elaine would actually feel accomplished if she compared herself to Hannah.On the other hand, Matilda eclipsed Elaine in every way—she was more beautiful, kind, smart, and knowledgeable. Even her figure left Elaine dead in the water!It was as pointless as comparing a hen to a peacock!Whenever she thought of her, she could comfort herself that she had stolen her man even if she couldn't measure up in any way.But now, Jacob was completely insignificant to Matilda while Elaine still treated Jacob like a trophy.Even as a sense of inferiority seized her, Charlie sighed. "Come on, you should understand where Jacob is
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6422
"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!"
