As soon as the call was connected, he asked, “Quinn, is Angus still with you?”Quinn said, “I just sent someone to send him back. By the way, Brother Charlie, what happened tonight? Dorothy said that many people died tonight, and even Inspector Lammy was killed?!”Charlie hummed slightly and told her about the situation over the phone.After listening to Charlie, Quinn exclaimed, “Oh, my God! How could there be such cruel gangsters...?!”Having said that, she said quite self-reproachfully, “Brother Charlie, do you think that there is a mole in my team? Otherwise, how could these people work so well together? Surprisingly, they attacked when the background music was strongest, and there is a high probability that they seemed to have figured out the flow of the concert in advance...”“Not necessarily,” Charlie said indifferently. “At present, it can be determined that my aunt is the mole, but she is already dead. I’m guessing that the gangsters did not know about the flow of your co

Charlie had originally planned to let Janus continue living peacefully in Oskiatown first. After that, Charlie would take some time to go to Hong Kong in the future to settle his affairs for him.However, since Shawn was so impatient and was taking the initiative to do something, Charlie could only go to Hong Kong to meet him first, then.Hong Kong was far away from the United States, and it would take an ordinary plane ten hours each way. Moreover, it also took time to process things, so Charlie estimated that he would have to leave the United States for at least three to five days, or even longer.What he was most worried about was Claire.Although he had already arranged for female soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies to protect Claire in secret, he was still worried about letting Claire live and study in the United States alone.At this time, Jacob was still engaged in a cultural exchange in South Korea. The only person who could really come to the United States to accompany Clai

Elaine had always been bullied by Hannah when she was in the Wilson family, and she held a lot of grudges against Hannah. However, now that Hannah was suddenly currying favor with her and flattering her, this instantly magnified her vanity and gave her the refreshing feeling that her life had turned around completely. So, she was also happy to hang out with Hannah every day.For Elaine, she could only feel that she was really a different person from who she used to be in the past when Hannah was flattering and fawning over her. So, when Elaine heard Hannah’s voice over the other end of the line, she hummed and said, “I haven’t slept enough yet. What time is it?”Hannah hurriedly said, “It’s almost eleven o’clock! Didn’t you say yesterday that you wanted to go shopping in the mall today? I’m all ready and am waiting right in front of your house! Are we still going out today?”It was only then that Elaine came to her senses and blurted out, “Oh, no! I forgot about it! I was planning

Elaine drove the domineering Rolls-Royce Cullinan all the way to Harbour City in Aurous Hill.After carefully driving into the underground parking lot with more than a dozen cars, she finally parked the car. She then went to the first floor with Hannah.The first floor in Harbour City was filled almost entirely with first-tier luxury brands.Amongst them, half of it was clothing and luggage brands such as LV and Gucci, whereas the other half were jewelry brands such as Bvlgari and Cartier. Elaine took Hannah to the Bvlgari store as soon as they arrived. It was not that Bvlgari was much better compared to the other brands, but it was mainly because Elaine liked the name ‘Bvlgari’, and felt that it was festive.As soon as they entered Bvlgari, Elaine went straight to the counter in the middle and sat on the high stool in front of the counter as she slapped the Rolls-Royce key on the counter with her right hand and placed the Hermes handbag that Charlie had given her on the counte

After saying that, she hung up the phone, stepped in front of Elaine, and smiled as she said, “Madam, come. Let me help you try it on.”Elaine nodded and put on the necklace with the salesgirl’s help. After that, she kept looking in the mirror.The price-performance ratio of the jewelry from this big brand was really thin. The 18K gold chain was not worth a lot of money, and the pendant made of broken diamonds also did not cost much. When it was put together, it was estimated that a fraction of the price was already enough to cover it.However, what Elaine valued was not the price-performance ratio, but the reputation-to-price ratio.The so-called price-performance ratio was the ratio between product performance and price. For the same price, the better the performance would naturally be better. As for the reputation-to-price ratio, it was the ratio between the reputation and the price of the product. At the same price, the higher the reputation, the more important it was. Even i

The salesgirl’s sentence that stated that Elaine was the top amongst the noblewomen overwhelmed Elaine immediately.She felt that the salesgirl’s words had a kind of chemical energy which could produce a large amount of dopamine that would rush straight to her head through a chemical reaction with her eardrum. Simply put, it made her lose her sense. This feeling was like a young man who had just learned to smoke and had grabbed his uncle’s dry tobacco pouch and taken a big puff of it.It not only went up to his head, but it also made him feel a little dizzy.Elaine was so happy that she could not even close her mouth. She looked at the salesgirl, and the more Elaine looked at her, the more she liked her. Hannah was indeed very good at patronizing her, and they had obviously been sisters-in-law for decades. Hannah could also praise her whenever she wanted to.However, if Elaine were to really compare the salesgirl in front of her with Hannah, Hannah would definitely lose out.

However, when Elaine thought of how the salesgirl had already set up the atmosphere, wouldn’t she be unable to live up to the title as the ‘top amongst the noblewomen’ if she were to say that she could not afford it? Just as Elaine was feeling uneasy, the salesgirl placed the treasure of the store in front of her.Elaine looked down at the price tag and suddenly exclaimed, “Oh, my God! Seven, eight, eight, eight... Seven, followed by six eights with no decimal points... This is f*cking 7.88 million dollars!”The salesgirl in front of her took the necklace out, looked at Elaine, and then looked at the necklace before she shook her head and said, “Madam, I suddenly feel that this necklace is somewhat dull in front of you.”Elaine was about to cry.‘A necklace that is nearly eight million dollars also looks somewhat dull in front of an old lady like me?! Do you think that I’m as bright as the sun?!’Hannah, who was behind her, was also shocked and blurted out, “This necklace is too

Hannah, who was aside, had already exclaimed in shock before Elaine responded. She blurted out, “I remember that there have never been any discounts in your brand before. How can it suddenly be eighty thousand dollars cheaper?!”The salesgirl smiled and said, “Madam, you’re right. We never offer discounts in our store. Today is the only exception, and it is only for today!”Elaine was also moved.A brand that had never given any discount was now directly cheaper by eighty thousand dollars. This was a huge bargain!As the saying goes, it would be stupid if she did not take advantage of a bargain.If she did not buy this necklace, she would wake up with regrets at night. So, she quietly turned on her cell phone and glanced at her account balance in her bank app. She had three hundred and sixty-two thousand dollars left in her bank account.In the few days that Charlie and Claire were gone, not only did she spend eighty thousand dollars in the beauty salon for a super VIP member

Falling apart in both mind and spirit, Jacob was crying as he disembarked and took a cab to the hotel.Elaine, who had been lying around for 24 hours, was stunned speechless as she watched him enter, crying like a child.In contrast, Elaine looked like a mother to Jacob just then as he threw himself into her arms and bawled, "Darling… That prick Mr. Bay screwed me over… I have nothing left now…"Taken aback for a moment that Jacob would bawl in her arms like that, Elaine soon came to her senses and patted his back as she comforted him, "Oh, stop crying already. Who cares about some Calligraphy and Painting groupies? We certainly don't! Just hear me out and don't ever go there again!"Jacob kept sobbing, "But I care… I want to go…"Annoyed, Elaine's hand that had been patting Jacob a moment ago slid down to his hip and pinched him viciously before he noticed."Ow!" Jacob yelped in pain, and he demanded indignantly, "What was that for?!""Shut up!" Elaine snapped, glowering. "I wa

Jacob couldn't even be bothered by the looks others were giving him, and he called Mr. Bay immediately.Mr. Bay had already gone home and was seated on the couch with his wife, watching his phone and waiting for Jacob to call and demand an explanation.Mr. Bay knew that he had to answer for this and that if he avoided Jacob, it may well be a confession that he had screwed Jacob over.So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to come clean with Jacob.Naturally, by coming clean, he meant passing the buck as his wife had suggested.Hence, as he answered Jacob's call, he immediately sighed in embarrassment, "Hey, Jacob. I'm so sorry about that…"However, Jacob was so furious he immediately started bellowing, "Mr. Bay! Are you fucking with me here?! You said that the resignation letter was more of a formality, but you just made it public instead! So, all those things you said about helping me were just a trap, was it?! You're despicable! And to think I've been so good to you, even

The repeated flights had left Jacob tormented.Even before he actually had the time to enjoy Dubai, he had already gotten sick of the place and didn't want to ever return.And on the flight, he couldn't stop his thoughts from going astray.Now that he was not getting back the money he had lost, his only hope was Mr. Bay.Fortunately, Mr. Bay was serious about his promise that he would at least save him a job as department head. That was why, despite his thoughts running astray, he never considered the thought that he would be kicked out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.As soon as his flight landed, he didn't wait to turn off his phone's flight mode, waiting for the internet connection to return so that he could ask Mr. Bay about the meeting.Once he did, he received a ton of messages from public accounts to acquaintances—many had already found out that he had resigned from the post of administrative vice-president and wanted to ask how he was doing.And Matilda was

The Calligraphy and Painting Association was certainly efficient—soon after the meeting was dismissed, the news that the administrative vice-president had resigned was posted on their official page and social media.The notice was simple and never mentioned what Jacob had done, only that the administrative vice-president had asked to resign for personal reasons. The request had since been voted upon, and all members had agreed to it.And that was how a simple and short message kicked Jacob out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association entirely.In the city, other associations closely connected with the Calligraphy and Painting Association were the various cultural societies and circles of antique enthusiasts and the Senior University. In fact, most fans of the public page of the Calligraphy and Painting Association were from the Senior City, and every lecturer, student, and even guest lecturer were subscribed.As a matter of fact, that was entirely Jacob's doing. After his lect

There weren't that many members in the Calligraphy and Painting Association—just a handful over twenty.Hence, at Mr. Bay's request, everyone showed up at the conference at 1 pm.He chose the afternoon as there were a handful who were away on outreach, including Walker, who was subbing for Jacob's lectures.Once the entire Calligraphy and Painting Association save for Jacob was informed of the mandatory meeting, every member was there on the hour, seated primly and in attention in the huge conference room.Mr. Bay didn't waste his breath on the preamble either—as soon as he saw that everyone had arrived, he announced, "Everyone, I've gathered you here today because our administrative vice-president, Jacob Wilson, has been alleged to be involved in a certain malicious scheme."Last night, Mr. Wilson submitted his resignation to me, and after a discussion with my vice-presidents, we've all decided to hold a vote. It will be open to every member in the association as we will be decid

Having sent his resignation letter, Jacob had no idea that it would be the catalyst for his dismissal.He didn't sleep well at the rundown motel either and had dark circles under his eyes as he rushed to the airport early the next morning.Clearing the checkpoint and boarding his flight, everything went smoothly until his flight to Dubai lifted off at 10 am.-Meanwhile, the other vice-presidents of the Calligraphy and Painting Association had arrived at Mr. Bay's office.They all had the same goal—pressure Mr. Bay and get Jacob kicked out of the association no matter what it took.Naturally, they knew that Mr. Bay most definitely would have to help Jacob since Jacob was close with Don Albert. If Mr. Bay insisted on protecting Jacob, they shouldn't insist, or Jacob would hear about it, and the man would bear a grudge.Even so, as the vice-presidents entered Mr. Bay's office and closed the door behind them, one of them couldn't help asking, "So, Mr. Bay—how do you intend to deal
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6563
Hence, Mr. Bay sent a reply in under five minutes after Jacob sent his resignation letter.As Jacob tapped on it, he immediately saw Mr. Bay's reply: Mr. Wilson's resignation is a huge loss to the association. However, we should also respect his individual situation and opinion. As such, to discuss our direction forward, all vice-presidents are required to attend a meeting at 10am tomorrow to discuss this matter.Jacob was still perplexed as to why Mr. Bay would reply to his mail and even summon the other vice-presidents for a meeting, and when he had a closer look, he saw that Mr. Bay had forwarded his mail to everyone else.Seeing that, Jacob thought to himself that Mr. Bay could just stick to a discussion involving just Mr. Bay and the vice-presidents instead of the entire association.As such, he sent a voice message on WhatsApp: "Mr. Bay, did you make a mistake and forward my mail to everyone else?"Mr. Bay soon replied, "Everyone already knows about your situation, so there'

Mr. Bay was left pursing his lips awkwardly. "T-That's way too despicable, don't you think? I'm the one who asked him to write a resignation and give up his place as vice-president while I handle the other vice-presidents and resolve the entire matter internally. Everyone can take a step back from escalation, and it's a solution that could please everyone."If I take that resignation at face value, won't it be like a bank goading a client into taking a scam loan? Won't he hate me to the bone if he finds out I screwed him over?""What are you worried about?" Mrs. Bay shot back in annoyance. "Are you that scared of Jacob Wilson turning against you? Hell, my own sister hates me to the bone—but what did you think I told her? That I'm never lending her the money no matter how much she hates me!"What do you think would have happened if I were worried about her feelings and loaned her the money she asked for? She wouldn't have to use a single cent to get herself a new house! She would say

"Don Albert… is giving up on Jacob Wilson?!"Mr. Bay exclaimed in shock. "B-But he was so respectful toward Jacob just the other day when we had dinner at the Heaven Springs… He gave us the best private room and even offered his best wine, filling our glasses personally…"Mrs. Bay waved him off. "You've been stuck with the retirees of the Calligraphy and Painting Association for so long that you've lost your nose for danger! Just think about it—married couples who were just sharing a bed one night could pull a knife on their partner the very next day. And these are men with priorities we're talking about."Also, you should take into account that Zachary Evans is Don Albert's right-hand man, and Jacob somehow dragged him into a fraud scheme. So, do you think Don Albert would be happy with that?"And according to Zachary's public statement, all the money they got went straight into Jacob's pocket—and what does that mean? It means Zachary is an accessory to a crime—at worst, an accomp
