The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4441
Charlie looked at the time. It was just after three o’clock in the morning. So, he waved his hand and said, “No need. I’ll go on my own.”Porter said, “I’ll see you out, then!”When Charlie walked out of the villa, the whole Long Island was silent.After all, it was already past three in the morning, and the rich people who lived here had generally ended their nightlife and were entering a dreamland filled with money and desire.Charlie had mixed feelings as he walked on the street alone.He could not imagine how big this mysterious organization would be. He had interrogated 547 for more than an hour and still did not even know what the name of this mysterious organization was.At this time, the voices and smiles of his parents when they were alive came to his mind. In his memory, his father and mother would never frown over anything. Even when they had left Eastcliff and come to Aurous Hill to settle down in an old mansion, they had always had smiles on their faces. They had cle

“Hello, Chairman!”Doris’s voice was filled with excitement, but Charlie did not perceive it. He got straight to the point and asked, “Doris, how much do you know about Shawn Long from Hong Kong?”“Shawn Long?” Doris was stunned for a moment before she then said, “Shawn Long is a very famous and rich man in Hong Kong, and he is very flirtatious. Why are you inquiring about him?”Charlie said, “I’m looking for him to discuss something with him, but I don’t want to use my real identity to do so. Therefore, I wanted to ask you if there is a good opportunity for me to meet him normally after I go to Hong Kong?”Doris said, “Chairman, Emgrand Group does not have any business dealings with him, but I remember that a large section of his main business is ocean shipping. Why don’t you give Autumn a call and ask her about it? There should be no problem if you go under the name of Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group.”“I got it.” Charlie smiled and said, “In that case, I’ll give Autumn a call

Charlie asked her, “So, did you talk to Shawn Long?”“No.” Autumn said, “To be honest, if we cooperate with them, we will only be transferring the untenable part to them to collect some interlocutory fees which are not very substantial for us. Besides that, he is seeking our help now. I want to make him wait a little longer and stretch him a little to reduce his psychological expectations first. That way, we will be able to strive for larger interlocutory fees when the negotiation really begins.”“Understood.” Charlie smiled and said, “In that case, you can contact him and tell him that you can consider a collaboration. Tell him that you’re going to send your assistant to Hong Kong for a visit and ask him to receive your assistant at that time, then.”Autumn, who was smart, understood the hint immediately, and she hurriedly asked, “Mr. Wade, are you going to pretend to be my assistant and go to Hong Kong for a private visit?!”Charlie smiled and said, “It’s not so much for a privat

Shawn was in an extraordinarily good mood since he knew that Janus was about to be repatriated. For the past twenty years, he had been feeling as if he had been made a cuckold, and now, he finally had the opportunity to avenge his past insult. Therefore, he had been counting down the seconds since yesterday as he was in a hurry for Janus to come back.As long as Janus came back, many people in Hong Kong would desperately try their best to kill Janus for their own interests.As long as Janus died, the feeling as if he had been made a cuckold would naturally disappear. At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.So, he took out his cell phone, and he had a big grin on his face as he said, “Hello, who is this?”Autumn, who was on the other end of the line, said in a lukewarm manner, “Hello! You’re Mr. Long, right? I’m Autumn Hart from Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group.”Shawn was immediately flattered, and he held a cigar in one hand and his cell phone in the other as he said r
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4445
Shawn soon hung up the phone with a smile on his face after exchanging a few pleasantries with Autumn.As soon as he had hung up the phone, he laughed loudly and said excitedly, “It’s really double happiness! It’s truly double happiness this time! Autumn Hart from Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group will be sending her personal assistant to Hong Kong for an inspection. This time, we will have to get this collaboration no matter what it is!”The assistant said in surprise, “Mr. Long, it’s really great that Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group is interested in collaborating with us! All of the good routes are in their hands now, and all of the high-quality ports and customer resources are also in their hands. Our capacity will definitely be released completely if we collaborate with them!”Shawn took a puff of his cigar and smiled as he said, “Amongst the people in charge of Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group, there is Ito Nanako from the Ito family who is already the most beautiful woman on eart

Jenna was Janus’ first love.When she was young, she was once known as the goddess of Hong Kong, causing countless tycoons and elites to be completely wrapped around her fingers.When Janus had left for the United States to study, she had been separated from him. Immediately afterward, Shawn, who had the aura of a top tycoon and was extremely generous with his money, turned her into his mistress whom he raised in his mansion on Steerlain Island. At that time, Jenna basically owned the world in terms of material things.She could take a luxury private jet to feed the pigeons in London’s square early in the morning, take the same private jet to the romantic Aegean Sea in the evening, and when she woke up, she could choose to go shopping in the luxury malls in New York or Tokyo.If she was not in a hurry, she could take Shawn’s private cruise from Hong Kong to the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, or even Tahiti in the South Pacific. In short, whatever she wanted was within her reach
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4447
However, she had overestimated her position in Shawn’s heart.She had also underestimated the hatred that Shawn felt toward Janus in his heart.The slap on her face made her panic and frightened for a while.This was because she was afraid that she would lose everything around her again. So, she hurriedly explained to Shawn, “Shawn, don’t misunderstand me... I really did not mean anything else... I just...”Shawn said coldly, “Don’t say anything else! I don’t want to hear what you meant exactly! I just want to let you know that you’re not allowed to mention anything related to Janus in front of me in the future. Otherwise, you can get as far as you can away from me!” Jenna was terrified. She knew that although Shawn liked her and had a strong possessive desire toward her, he had always been wary of her.Although she was married to him, she had always been insulated from him in terms of his assets. Before Shawn had married her, he had already made her sign an agreement to v

On the other side, Elaine carefully threw the eye drops into a blind spot that could not be captured in the video as she shed tears in front of the camera. Claire, who was on the other end of the video, was also heartbroken and distressed when she saw her mother crying because she was lonely. She subconsciously said, “Mom, why don’t you go on a trip first? Didn’t Charlie give you five hundred thousand dollars? Why don’t you sign up for a high-end tour and go out and have fun for a while? We should also be back when you’ve had enough fun.”When Elaine heard this, she thought to herself, ‘My daughter’s idea is actually quite good. The main point is that I have no money to go out and travel anymore...’As she thought of this, she wiped her tears and choked up as she said, “Claire, I don’t want to go out to play now... I just miss you...”Claire said helplessly, “Mom, I still have more than twenty days left in my course. So, I also will not be able to come back for a while...”In tru

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
