The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4396
“Mr. Wade... A-Are you asking me to freeze Chief Lammy?!”Kathleen was stunned by Charlie’s words. They were so shocking, she didn’t know how to respond to it. Charlie, however, replied with a matter-of-fact look, “Don’t you have a freezing center? Bringing his body back and freezing him is just a small matter for you, isn’t it?”Charlie made it sound like it was a very simple task. Having heard that, Kathleen had to remind him, “Mr. Wade, the human body freezing technology is just a scientific concept. Although scientists had proposed this decades ago, there are no success stories yet…”She then stole a glance at Merlin, who was lying on the ground, before continuing, “Mr. Wade, I’ll be frank. To put it bluntly, no one can return to life if you freeze the body with the current technology…”Charlie waved his hand in dismissal. “You don’t have to worry about it. Just freeze him first.” Charlie had his reason for sending Merlin to the freezing center. With Charlie’s current stren

At Kathleen’s orders, her men removed all the carpets and packed them in sealed bags for incineration. While the men were cleaning up the carpet, another wave of men rushed in with lightning equipment, building materials, cleaning supplies, and water pumps.After that, those specialized in mechanical and electric systems began to repair the damaged spotlights and fixed the lighting. The rest implemented the construction-use water barrier and styrofoam to surround the entire corridor, forming an impermeable pool of about ten centimeters.After that, they used the fire-fighter-use high-pressure water gun and powerful detergent to clean the blood in the corridor. The group washed out the blood stains in the corridor vigorously, and then pumped the dirty water into the washroom drain.Soon, the corridor lights were completely restored. The blood concentration in the pool of water was also visibly getting lighter. By then, the bloody stench in the corridor had mostly faded.Meanwhile,

Soon, Kathleen’s men brought the agitated Dorothy. Dorothy was nervous and tense. The appearance of the strange men who had taken over the entire VIP area without a sound took her by complete surprise. She did not know what they were doing, and who they were.Her staff had all disappeared without a trace. That gave her a bad feeling, too.However, her nervousness eased slightly the moment she saw Charlie. She asked him in a hurry, “Mr. Wade, what’s going on here? Are these your men?” Charlie glanced at Kathleen and said indifferently, “There are Miss Fox’s men. I requested their help.”Dorothy was puzzled. “Did something happen?” Charlie didn’t answer her question. Instead, he asked tentatively, “Is there anyone else who knows about the Acker family’s presence tonight?”“No,” Dorothy replied. “Only Quinn and I know. No one else is aware.”Then, she added nervously, “What’s wrong?! Something happened, didn’t it?!” Charlie said coldly, “There was an attack on the Acker famil
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4399
Dorothy added, “You’re suspecting a mole to be helping the enemy, but I doubt the mole is from our team. Our staff might know the Acker family’s whereabouts, but that was only after their arrival. Besides, the Acker family arrived here just not long ago.”Charlie thought of the blocked signal and asked, “Did any staff come to this floor during the day? Could they have snuck in a small shielding device?”Dorothy frowned. “We only paid attention to the stage and backstage in the morning. We didn’t pay much attention to the VIP area. I can’t be sure, but you can check the surveillance video of the VIP area.”Then she added, “As I said earlier, Quinn and I didn’t tell anyone about this. Even if someone came in the day to install the shielding device, they wouldn’t know which room to install it. Besides, there are more than twenty rooms here. Did they install it in every room?”Charlie walked into several rooms near the corridor with his phone and found that the signal in these rooms wa

At the same time, the Acker family that had survived the tragedy were sitting on the sofa in silence. The air in the room was tense. The younger generation and grandchildren were still recovering from the shock. The adults were also in a depressed mood.While Kathleen’s men were cleaning the crime scene outside the room, Charlie’s three uncles were busy analyzing the events with Keith. They even got into a heated argument during the discussion.They wanted to know what went wrong, so much that it almost cost the Acker family’s life.In the beginning, Kaeden suspected Charlie’s uncle-in-law, Lulu’s husband, to be the most suspicious person. Everyone was here tonight, but he was absent.This whole incident pertained to the whole family’s safety. While Kaeden was discussing his suspicions, he did not refrain from speaking in Lulu’s presence.Jaxson and his second brother Kaeden shared a similar personality. They frequently collaborated in work. Therefore, Jaxson firmly expressed his

Jarvis paid close attention to everyone in the room as he announced, “To ensure everyone’s safety, I would like to request everyone to hand me your personal belongings. We are going to perform a safety check for safety reasons.”Christian asked, “What do we need to turn in?”“Everything.” Jarvis stopped beating around the bush and cut to the case. He added with a serious look, “Please turn in all your personal belongings. For the men, please stand to the left. For the ladies, please stand to the right. Open your hands and put them on your chest. We will arrange for someone of the same gender to search you.”Keith frowned upon hearing that. “Sir, are you suspecting that this is an insider job? That the mole is among us?”Jarvis put his hand together and replied sternly, “Sir, I’m acting under orders. Everyone, please cooperate. Please forgive me if I have offended you.”Kaeden was annoyed. Disgruntled, he grumbled, “Sir, you’re suspecting us for no reason and demanded a search out

The sudden death of Adrienne caught everyone off guard. Her sixteen-year-old daughter nearly collapsed on the spot from sheer shock. She hugged her mother’s body and shook the latter desperately, crying, “Mom…? What’s wrong…? Don’t scare me…!” Jaxson, too, was on the verge of collapse. He wanted to step forward to investigate, but his second brother Kaeden stopped him. Jaxson looked back at Kaeden with a shocked look. Instantly, he growled, “Kaeden, why are you stopping me? Something’s happened to Adrienne!”Kaeden roared with a dark face, “Look at how she died! Do you remember how that assailant’s leader committed suicide by taking poison?!”“Suicide...” Jaxson was horrified. He blurted out in a tone of shock, “Y-You… Are you saying that Adrienne committed suicide by taking poison?”Kaeden pointed to the corpse and demanded coldly, “Is there any other possibilities other than suicide?!”Jarvis immediately rushed forward and picked up Charlie’s third aunt. He said to everyone,
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4403
As he thought of that, Charlie asked Jarvis, “Mr. Yant, did you pay attention to the Acker family’s reaction? Can you tell me who she is?”Jarvis thought about it and said quickly, “There was a man, I think it was her husband. The younger man called the other man Kaeden. I heard her call the woman’s name. I think it was Adrienne.”When Charlie heard this, he immediately understood that this dead woman was his third aunt. After all, the only ones who were younger than Kaeden were his third uncle Jaxson and youngest aunt Lulu.The dead woman’s identity was initially Charlie’s biggest fear. He feared that the dead woman might be his youngest aunt Lulu. It would mean that the Acker family had been infiltrated from within, and that was an unacceptable situation. Therefore, he was slightly relieved to hear that the dead woman was his third aunt.However, that relief wasn’t much. After all, third aunt Adrienne had been married to his third uncle Jaxon for at least a decade. Why would his

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

"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
