The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4379
At this time, Charlie’s attention was almost entirely focused on his grandparents, who were just separated from him by a wall.He heard Dorothy saying respectfully to his grandmother, “Lady Acker, you don’t have to be so polite with me. You are Quinn’s grandmother, and it is our honor to have you and Lord Acker come to attend Quinn’s concert!”Lady Acker smiled and said, “Nana is now the most famous Oskian celebrity in the world. It is an honor for us to be able to come to her concert.”Lord Acker, who was aside, could not help but sigh as he said, “Miss Golding is indeed the light of the Oskians seeing as she could have such a strong appeal and can even bring her concert to the United States.”Lady Acker chided gently, “Why are you calling her Miss Golding?! She is your future granddaughter-in-law. Don’t refer to her in such a formal manner. Her name is Nana.”Lord Acker laughed heartily and said, “Yes, yes, Honey. You are right to criticize me.”Dorothy could not help but sigh

This also made Charlie a little more cautious. He didn't have to step out of this door as long as the performance was not over.Meanwhile, inside the private room next door.Lord Acker and Lady Acker were sitting on the sofa. Christian and his wife were next to the elderly couple, and Kaeden, Jaxson and his wife, as well as Charlie’s youngest aunt, Lulu, were all sitting opposite them.As for Merlin, he headed straight to the bar and poured himself a glass of whisky. After that, he sat on the long footstool at the bar as he drank by himself.In addition to the four Acker siblings and Charlie’s three uncles and aunts, both of Kaeden’s sons, Jaxson’s eldest daughter, and Lulu’s twelve-year-old daughter had also come together with them tonight.These juniors were all Charlie’s cousins, and they were also Quinn’s fans. Hence, they had followed their family all the way here from Los Angeles. Both of Christian’s daughters liked Quinn very much. However, it was just that his eldest dau

When Christian heard the news, he too became instantly happy, and he smiled brightly as he said, “No wonder you’re f*cking grinning from ear to ear. So, it turns out that you’re going to be a grandfather!”“That’s right!” Merlin said excitedly, “The old ancestors say that family is the closest thing to our heart, and it turns out to be really true! The moment my daughter said that she was pregnant, I do not want to stay in New York for another f*cking minute. I want to fly over tonight and give them a surprise!”Christian laughed and said, “Oh, so you know how to surprise your wife and kid? Not bad, there’s progress!”After saying that, Christian then said, “Alright, don’t waste your time here anymore. I’ll ask the crew to get ready, and you can go to the airport now!”Merlin hurriedly said, “No, no, no. I’ve already agreed to accompany Lord Acker and Lady Acker to watch the concert. I cannot leave as soon as I’ve arrived. I am not in such a hurry to leave, and it will not be too l

He understood the meaning of the old man’s words, and he also agreed with the old man’s concept in his heart.The older generation of Oskians who went abroad to work also wanted to have prosperous families and children. This naturally included Merlin’s father.Although Merlin had five sisters, he was the only male in the family. His wife had been willing to give birth to more children for him, but unfortunately, God had other plans. His wife had encountered a very serious hemorrhage during the birth of his daughter, and the doctor had removed her uterus to save her life.Therefore, Merlin only had one daughter.At this moment, when Lady Acker saw that Merlin, who was a big man, was actually shedding tears, she hurriedly said to Lord Acker, “Sigh! You old-fashioned man! What era is it now? You’re still emphasizing sons over daughters!”After saying that, she hurriedly said to Merlin, “Merlin, don’t listen to your Uncle Acker talk nonsense. This old feudal consciousness should hav

After ten seconds of absolute darkness, the stage lights would light up in an instant, and dozens of beams of light would be directed at the top of the stage. At that time, Quinn, who would be wearing sci-fi armor, would fall from the sky using her song called ‘From the Future’ to make an absolutely shocking and perfect opening for the concert.However, at this moment, when people saw a Star Wars video when the video had just started to play, everyone was a little confused.When Lord Acker saw that the concert was about to start, he hurriedly said to Merlin, “Merlin, don’t waste time with me here. Go back and accompany your wife and children!”After saying that, he looked at Christian and instructed, “Christian, ask the crew to prepare everything at the airport and tell the driver to take Merlin to the airport!”Christian nodded and said to Merlin, “Merlin, hurry up and go to accompany your family. Don’t go anywhere until the child is born.”“Okay!” Merlin knew that Lord Acker was

The moment Merlin fell to the ground, not one of the people in the elevator spared Merlin another glance.One of them saw Merlin’s dead face, and he blurted out through the intercom system in his helmet, “Boss, this man seems to be the detective from the New York Police Department, Merlin Lammy!”The man who was at the lead said contemptuously, “So what if he’s Merlin Lammy? In my opinion, he’s nothing great at all.”After saying that, he ordered, “Everyone, get into your battle formation. Remember our purpose and do not leave anyone alive!”The other twenty or so men could all hear the boss’s voice very clearly because they were all wearing active noise-canceling headphones. So, they held their guns up in their right hands and raised their index and middle finger to the side of their temples with their left hands.This gesture meant that they had received the order. Immediately after that, more than twenty people walked out of the four elevators immediately at the same time and

Now, it seemed that the intelligence had been wrong.However, at this moment, he could no longer care about these small surprises.He immediately made a neck-wiping gesture to the crowd which meant that everyone, including the two people in the private room next door, should be all taken out!Either way, the process of them attacking today was to kill anyone on sight, and killing anyone that they saw was their code of action tonight.Immediately afterward, everyone prepared themselves. From the wave of the leader’s hand, the tacit agreement was to divide themselves between three heights which were high, medium, and low, and then enter the aisle leading to the private room at a very great speed!The four experts of the Acker family suddenly discovered that the enemies were attacking at this time, and the eight-star martial expert who was in the lead froze and shouted, “There are enemies!”Having said that, he quickly forced the essential qi from within his body to the surface of h

As the saying goes, they were killed by the bullets in the confusion.Even as martial arts experts, it was simply impossible for them to resist in the face of such a dense number of bullets.This was the reason why the rules of this world had always been in the hands of guns and missiles with range instead of the hands of these martial arts experts.How could flesh and blood resist the saturated attack of modern weapons?!As for Charlie, because he had withdrawn his Reiki and attention earlier, he only instantly realized that something big was happening outside the moment a bullet whizzed through the door of his private room. A lot of thoughts flashed through his mind amidst the quick attack.Who was the enemy? Who was the target? Could his grandparents’ family who was next door be in danger?!At this moment, he instantly looked at Claire, who was still immersed in watching the opening video. Right then, he instantly used his Reiki to tap the back of her head unhesitatingly, an

With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j

Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in

Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the

Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan

The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th

It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m

Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their

Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300

"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
