The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4360
Merlin had already been manipulated by the gambler’s mentality at this time, and he vowed to take this opportunity to take a chance.Therefore, when he heard that the police commissioner wanted him to pull the men out, he immediately retorted angrily, “If we pull our men out now, we will be forfeiting our chances of success completely!”The police commissioner asked, “Didn’t you search everything thoroughly? How much longer do you want to search?! You will not be able to find anyone even if I gave you a month to demolish Fox Group’s headquarters building bit by bit!”Merlin blurted out, “Commissioner, ask the special operations team to search again. I don’t think that she could have possibly escaped. Perhaps she is hiding somewhere in a corner of Fox Group!”The police commissioner said angrily, “Merlin, I know that it’s already close to your retirement and you must be feeling very unconvinced to have encountered such a case, but let me tell you now that this matter has already cau

However, the police commissioner had a serious expression on his face as he said, “Merlin, when something big happens that cannot be solved, someone always has to take the blame for it. You have been working in the New York Police Department for so many years, and it is impossible that you do not understand this. I don’t want you to take the blame for this either, but if you continue to remain stubborn, I can only apologize to you in advance, then!”Merlin gritted his teeth and looked at the other party. Even though he was filled with hatred and resentment in his heart, he knew that the police commissioner was telling the truth.In truth, the New York Police Department was actually still very protective of their own people most of the time, and the higher management would definitely find a way to solve problems for the sake of the department’s overall image.However, the New York Police Department hadn’t always been able to handle everything. Over the years, the New York Police De

The conversation with the police commissioner only lasted for a short ten minutes, but Merlin felt as if he had suddenly aged ten years.He was well aware of the mayor’s intention for him to retire early, and even if he had not pushed the blame onto him directly, in the eyes of the public, he would still be the one taking the fall for it.Letting Merlin retire early was a punishment for him.When the time came, they would then exaggerate Merlin’s contribution to New York and subtly relay the message to the people that Merlin was considered someone who had dedicated his life and career to the New York citizens for so many years even though he had not done a good job this time. It could also be counted as hard work and now, Merlin already knew that he was wrong, and he had taken the initiative to request for an early retirement. So, everyone should see how hard he had worked for New York for most of his life and not be too hard on him.Generally speaking, people usually accepted this

Christian sighed and spoke up as he said, “In truth, you shouldn’t have investigated those murderers...”Merlin said helplessly, “What’s done is already done. It’s too late to talk about it now. Furthermore, my character will not allow me to turn a blind eye to this kind of crime that uses violence against crime.”Christian hummed and asked him, “So, what are your next plans?”Merlin said, “I’m going back to the police station to hand over my work now, and I will start my retirement officially tomorrow.”Having said that, he remembered something and said, “Is your father doing better now? Why don’t I go over to Los Angeles to see him? He was really seriously ill, and it’s really unjustified if I do not go to see him.”Christian said, “You don’t have to come to Los Angeles anymore. My mother wants to go to New York to watch Miss Golding’s concert, and she requires that all of us children will also have to be present. My father was convinced by her, and we will be going together at

The next day happened to be a Saturday.Claire had already set her heart on going to New York to see the concert and so, she proposed to Charlie that she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get to New York earlier as she wanted to take a stroll around New York, go to the concert at night, and then stay in New York for the night before strolling around New York for another day again tomorrow before they came back on Sunday night.Charlie also felt that his wife had been working too hard in her classes and so, he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to let his wife relax and unwind.Therefore, Charlie agreed to Claire’s proposal without any hesitation and asked someone to help him book a suite at Shangri-La in New York. After the both of them had had breakfast, they drove to New York.According to Claire’s previous knowledge of New York, Charlie took her to Times Square first and then to see the famous Statue of Liberty. While the two of them were touring around,

When Charlie heard this, he could not help but frown slightly. He had indeed had this vague feeling that his grandmother’s family might come to support and cheer for Quinn, but he did not expect that his guess would really be right.In order to avoid any direct contact with his grandmother’s family, Charlie had not wanted to attend the concert.But on one hand, he didn’t want to make his wife sad, and on the other hand, there was a VIP room. Therefore, he hadn’t taken it too seriously. Now, when he heard that Lady Acker was here with Lord Acker, he spoke up and said, “The visitor is a guest and so, Miss Golding, you should be nice and entertain them.”Quinn said, “Master Wade, I think so too, but there is another situation. The two elderlies are old and have a rather special status. I’m afraid that it would not really be appropriate if I were to let them watch my performance in the auditorium. So, my idea is to arrange for them to be in the VIP room so that the two elderlies can

Claire seemed to understand Charlie’s Feng Shui theory. She had always felt as though it made sense, but she also felt that it was a little mysterious. However, she was in awe of the things that she did not understand most of the time and so, she did not ask any questions. Meanwhile, Charlie, who was next to her, was already feeling a little nervous and uneasy at this time.He was not worried that he would be exposed in front of his grandfather’s family at night, but he couldn’t help but have a nostalgic feeling.Although he had had some complaints about what his grandfather’s family had done back then, subconsciously, he still had a blood relationship with his mother’s natal family. Tonight would be the first time that he would be so close to them in more than twenty years, and it was inevitable for him to feel nervous.Meanwhile, Charlie’s grandparents and several of their children had arrived at Ark Building in Manhattan.As they took the elevator all the way up to the t

There were many insurance and financial services companies worldwide. However, only a handful of them could afford to build a skyscraper in Manhattan, where land was expensive. Ark Group was among said handful. The Acker family started their business in Los Angeles, but they grew bigger after they expanded to Silicon Valley and New York.Many years ago, Ashley invested in a large number of companies with great potential in Silicon Valley at a very low price. In order to better help these investments in their capital planning, the Acker family went to the financial center of the United States, New York, and built the core of their family’s business there. The Acker family had many subsidiaries under their group, which also included investment companies. However, Ark Group remained the Acker family’s core business. After the establishment of Ark Group, Ashley merged her investment funds in Silicon Valley into Ark Group. Ark Group suddenly became the country’s largest Internet vent

Pausing, Raymond then finished, "And last but not least, the origin of the bronze sculpture itself must be investigated to see if it was the work of some syndicate specializing in forgery!"With those words, Bob was left pale, trembling, and sweating buckets.Even Zachary could feel his soul leaving himself as he watched in secret.He really didn't expect Raymond to be that sharp, dissecting the entire plot and finding the fatal flaw directly.To prove that the bronze sculpture was stolen, Bob must first prove that he was Bill's biological brother—which he certainly wasn't.In fact, Bill only had two sisters… and worst of all, his father was still alive.As such, once the cops were involved and they investigated Bill's family, Bill's lies would be exposed.Naturally, he had the sink or swim method of having Bill admit he had stolen that bronze sculpture from a stranger's house and had a friend impersonate the lost owner. However, that still meant Bill was screwed because he wo

Pausing, Raymond continued, "To prove that the will is legally binding, a public notary needs to be present and ideally certifying said will—otherwise, you'd just be talking out of your ass.""In the case of the latter, that means the bronze sculpture belongs to your father—not you. And because you can't produce a legally binding will, it's by law that you and your brother share half the right of inheritance to that bronze sculpture… or less, should you have more living siblings or if your mother is alive.""However, since your brother has the right of inheritance, selling that bronze sculpture to me is legal. You can sue him in court and request the court make him compensate you for your loss. Therefore, what you should be doing now is filing a lawsuit against your brother, sorting out the inheritance issue instead of coming to me."Bob was left speechless, and even Zachary was stunned, unable to find the right retort.Seeing that Bob was hesitant and constantly fiddling with his

Pausing, Raymond then continued, "I even told him that he could leave the bronze sculpture with me as a consignment, and I would only be eligible for a ten percent commission.""He refused to take that offer, so I offered yet again a 50-50 investment, where he would still get half of what I make after I sell the bronze sculpture. He refused me again anyway, and he was set on the three hundred grand, take it or leave it. There's security footage that proves it too, so how could I have defrauded him?"Then, seeing that there were plenty of others around them, he smiled, "Since you're here, I shall invite the public to be my witness as I show everyone the security footage I have. I will ask everyone to be the judge and decide if I've deceived his so-called brother!"Bob's heart skipped a beat at Raymond's words, but he was afraid to retreat right then, so he braced himself and snapped, "No, that's not necessary! You bought the bronze sculpture, so you return it this instant! I will ret

Zachary felt like the world was falling apart around him after Jacob hung up, and he regretted endlessly that he even had anything to do with Jacob.While he knew all along that Jacob was painfully mediocre and awfully vain, just the thought that Jacob's son-in-law was Charlie Wade still made Zachary eager to fawn over him.He thought that like the average person, even if they didn't feed a dog that wags its tail at them, they could at least give the dog a pat on the head. Even if they didn't feel like it, they could at least not take away the dog's food and then kick it twice.Zachary certainly didn't know that Jacob was exactly that—immoral, unconscientious, and unprincipled.But even as he regretted everything, it was too late now. He had to at least manage a solution before Jacob landed.It was do or die anyway, so he called Bill and instructed, "Find someone older than you with a really mean look to pretend to be your brother. Then, send him to Raymond and demand that bronze

Zachary's voice was choking with tears. "Please, don't just see how much it actually is—the problem is that we're just amateurs and sold that bronze sculpture as a forgery. That's something we can't change…"Jacob remained brazenly stubborn. "Don't give me that crap—that's not what I'm talking about. All I ask is for you to get that bronze sculpture back. I'll send you the 300 thousand later, and I don't care about anything else. Get it done, or I'm talking to Charlie. I'll even confess that I was up to no good, but I want it back! Hell, it's not like Charlie would do anything to me even if he finds out!"Zachary really burst into tears right then, sobbing, "Please, you can't do this! Master Wade won't punish you, but he will punish me! I'm where I am today only because he put a good word in with Don Albert for me… if he knew what we were up to such treachery and flips, I'm screwed!""What treachery?!" Jacob demanded, furious. "How is this treachery?! You came up with the plan, didn

Seeing that their flight was being slowly towed toward the runway, Elaine quickly urged Jacob, "If you're calling him, do it right now! They're towing our plane to the runway, and we won't be able to call him once we take off!""Right!" Jacob exclaimed excitedly. "I'll call him right now—if he doesn't get it done, I'll tell Charlie to destroy him! He's Don Albert's henchman, and even Don Albert sucks up to Charlie. That would definitely pressure him enough!""Okay! Elaine nodded, excited too. "Then call him right now, or we might never find the buyer again!""Yeah!" Jacob promptly whipped out his phone and called Zachary.Meanwhile, Zachary had presumed that Jacob wouldn't find out before his flight took off, so he was immediately nervous when Jacob called him.His nerves aside, he was afraid to not answer at all.Who knew why Jacob was calling. It could just be a false alarm.Hence, as he answered, he feigned calmness and asked, "Hello again, Mr. President! Shouldn't your fli

In reality, Jacob wouldn't usually be this bold, but he dared to run his mouth against the air marshal because twenty million was just too much money.Money emboldens, just like alcohol—while one wouldn't even mouth off for a couple thousand, one would murder for a million.And they were talking about twenty million here!Moreover, Jacob's rightful twenty million was going to his enemy, which incensed him further!Still, Elaine's words quickly calmed him because there was no scenario in which he would come up on top if he ended up behind bars.Elaine had been imprisoned for three days and ultimately ended up leaving with a broken leg.Heaven knows what would happen if he ended up arrested for fourteen days.With that in mind, he stopped arguing with the air marshall and returned to his seat, dejected. Clenching Elaine's hand, tears of grief rolled down his cheeks as he asked feebly, "What should I do now, dear? I thought it was junk and sold it for 300 thousand but it's actual

Jacob bellowed at the middle-aged man right then, "Then don't give me shit if you can't pay up! I only have one request, and that is I want off this plane right now!"Elaine came to a realization then, and she quickly asked, "Don't tell me… That thing we just saw online… you're the one who sold it yesterday?!"Jacob was on the verge of tears as he nodded. "Yes, it was me! That's why I want it back no matter what it takes!"Elaine became anxious as well. They were talking about twenty million, after all! Even if they lived off bank interest, they could still afford to spend ten grand per day for up to eight years!How could they let that slip through their grasp?!Pointing at the air stewardess, Elaine immediately snapped, "Hey, he's talking to you! Open the door, you hear?!"While the air stewardess was unable to handle both of them at once, a young man in a white collared shirt and black pants strode over, telling Jacob and Elaine, "Sorry to interrupt, but I'm the air marshal of

Seeing that comment, Elaine promptly turned to Jacob, "Dear, I don't think they made it up. It says the antique was treated like a Renaissance forgery and sold for 300 thousand to the dealer, but it actually was medieval and sold first thing this morning."Jacob's mind seemed to fade entirely in an instant, and he dropped his glass of champagne before he knew it, wetting his trousers.Elaine quickly pulled out a towel to wipe it, exclaiming, "What's wrong?! Why did you wet your pants?!"Then, realizing that Jacob's eyes and mouth were gaping wide while he sat frozen stiff almost as if he were dead, she promptly shook him, "What's gotten into you, Jacob? Are you alright?"As Jacob came to his senses, his eyes were suddenly blood-red.Suddenly on his feet, he bellowed in fury, "Fuck! My twenty million! Open the door! Open it right now! I'm getting off this plane!"The cabin crew and the other passengers were all shocked by his sudden bellow, and Elaine was just as confused. "Your t
