Charlie nodded. When he saw that there was still no sign of Marianne among the people standing outside the car, he subconsciously felt a little disappointed. However, he did not ask Shawn about it again and spoke up, “Mr. Long, it’s getting late. Let’s get in the car and go.”Shawn looked at the time and hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, I don’t know what’s going on with Marianne. I cannot reach her on her cell phone. Wait for a moment, and I will try calling her again.” After saying that, Shawn took out his cell phone and was about to call Marianne again when he heard Marianne’s voice sounding from not far away. “Dad!” Charlie subconsciously turned his head. The moment he saw Marianne, the uncontrollable disappointment in his heart instantly disappeared.Charlie would definitely feel some regret if he did not get to see Marianne again before leaving Hong Kong today.Shawn also had a happy expression on his face. He reached out his hand, beckoned to Marianne, and could not help but c

Marianne said shyly, “Miss Fox, I can go in any car...”Kathleen smiled and said, “Since any car will do for you, just take this one, then. I’ll go in the same car as Master Yant!”Having said that, Kathleen turned around, waved her hand behind her, and got into the Rolls-Royce at the back of the convoy. When Charlie saw this, he held the car door open with one hand and said to Marianne, “Miss Marianne, please get in the car.”Marianne nodded slightly, greeted her father, Shawn, bent down, and got into the car.Charlie also got into the car. When he saw that Marianne was still out of breath at this time, he guessed that she must be very tired from running all the way and said, “Why didn’t you give me a call to update me since your friend’s plane was delayed? Why did you have to run and be in such a hurry?”Marianne shook her head and said, “How could I possibly let so many people wait for me together? She was not delayed for too long, so I was able to catch up and make it on tim

After ten minutes of driving, the convoy arrived at the hangar where Kathleen’s plane was parked.Charlie had originally thought that Kathleen’s plane would be a luxurious business jet like a Gulfstream G650. However, he never expected it to be a huge Boeing 747 that was currently parked in the hangar.This plane was a symbol of wealth and power, just like the United States President’s Air Force One. The crew had completed all the pre-takeoff checks and inspections, and more than ten people, including the captain and the chief steward, were waiting as they stood together at the bottom of the plane’s spiral staircase. The convoy stopped one after the other, and everyone got out of the cars. Charlie glanced at Marianne, who was next to him. When he saw that she was pursing her lips without speaking, he spoke up and said, “Miss Marianne, let’s get out of the car.” Marianne raised her head and looked at Charlie with a shy look in her eyes as she said softly, “Mr. Wade, I wonder whe

By this point, Marianne was already almost out of sight, but Charlie found that she was still standing in the same place even though everyone else had gotten on the plane.Charlie turned back and looked for a long time before turning his head back. Somehow, he always had a feeling of empathy for Marianne. He knew that this beautiful girl who was envied by countless people in Hong Kong had actually lost all color in her life ever since the day her father had cheated on her mother. Since then, in addition to facing her mother’s tears and grief every day, she had also had to accept the reality that her mother was seriously ill and her health was deteriorating.After her mother’s death, although her father had given her a lot of material compensation, this compensation was basically a drop in the bucket compared to the blow caused by her mother’s death.Therefore, Charlie knew that Marianne had not been happy all these years and was even living in nostalgia for her mother. This

Charlie did not expect Kathleen to be willing to use Patek Phillipe and Rolex, which were two well-known watch companies, in exchange for a Healing Pill from him. Still, when Charlie thought about it carefully, her grandfather, Jordan, was a top wealthy man, and using twenty billion US dollars in exchange for three to five years of life was still a very good deal.After all, the Rejuvenating Pill could be sold for more than three hundred billion US dollars. One would also be able to sell the Healing Pill for one-tenth the price of the Rejuvenating Pill.In truth, Charlie knew very well that although Kathleen was saying these words jokingly, this was, in fact, what she really wanted.However, if she spoke in such a joking tone, she would leave enough mediation room for herself, and she would be able to either go forward or retreat.If he expressed that he would not be willing to sell the Healing Pill, she would definitely say that she was just joking so that she could brush off th

With that being said, Kathleen paused slightly and continued, “I originally did not intend to use this plane, but when my grandfather heard that I was coming to Hong Kong to see you, he transferred the plane over to New York directly.”Charlie nodded lightly and smiled as he asked, “How is Lord Fox doing lately?” “Not bad.” Kathleen said truthfully, “There have been no serious health problems with his body during this short period of time, and he is also in a good mood. He is definitely in much better shape compared to before. Lately, he has also been talking about how he is eager to go and learn Tai Chi with others, saying that he wants to strengthen his body and try to live for an extra two more years.”Charlie smiled and said, “It seems that Lord Fox is in good shape.”“Yes.” Kathleen nodded and said, “He is indeed in much better shape compared to before, and this is all thanks to your help, Mr. Wade.” Having said that, Kathleen said again, “Oh! By the way, my grandfather is

Charlie was holding a Healing Pill in his palm at this time.The Healing Pill was about one centimeter in diameter, and he did not bother to put it in a wooden box because it was not as precious as the Rejuvenating Pill. Instead, he simply sealed it with wax paper specially used to seal food. When Kathleen heard that Charlie was going to give her a gift and was acting like a child as he deliberately clenched one of his fists with his palm down as if it was a mysterious gift, she thought that Charlie was joking with her. So, she smiled and said, “What kind of small gift did you prepare for me, Mr. Wade? Could it be a small bug? Let me state in advance that I’m not afraid of bugs.”During childhood, little boys had always loved to tease little girls. The most common one was for them to grab a bug in the palm of their hand and pretend to have a gift for the girl so that they would reach out and pick it up.Kathleen also felt playful at this time. As she spoke, she also reached out he

When Charlie saw that she was crying, he hurriedly said, “Look, how did I make you cry by giving you a small gift?!”He then handed a piece of tissue over to her and said, “Wipe your tears away quickly. Otherwise, when the flight attendant comes over and sees this, she will think that I am bullying you when no one else is around.” Kathleen could not help but laugh out loud. As she laughed, she accepted the piece of tissue and wiped away her tears as she teased, “What are you afraid of? I would not blame you even if you truly did bully me...”Having said that, she realized that her joke seemed inappropriate. So, she hurriedly changed the subject. She remembered the joke she had made to Charlie just now, and she immediately said very firmly, “Thank you for this great gift, Mr. Wade. I will buy you the two companies, Patek Phillipe and Rolex within a week and give them to you in return...”Charlie quickly waved his hand and said, “No, don’t!”He pointed at the Patek Phillipe watch t

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
