When Elaine returned to the presidential suite of the Hilton hotel, the first thing she asked Claire and Charlie upon entering the door was, “Claire, Charlie, do you two have anything to do tomorrow night?”Claire asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Mom?”Elaine explained, “I have a very close friend in the Rampage Team. She said that she wants to invite our family of three to her house. This friend of mine has moved from Oskia to the United States for many years now, and she has only been able to make a few close friends. She said that it’s rare for her to meet a good friend like me whom she can chat with easily about everything. Since I’m about to leave soon, she wants to invite me to her house for a meal before I leave. It can also be considered as a farewell for me.”Claire immediately asked with some surprise, “Mom, you can still find a good friend whom you can talk to?”Elaine pouted and said, “Oh, look at what you’re saying. Didn’t I have friends before this? Didn’t Gina, Sheila

As Elaine spoke, she said very solemnly, “You two cannot let me go back on my word when it comes to this kind of matter!”Claire looked at Charlie and asked, “Honey, what do you think?”Charlie smiled faintly and said, “Since Mom has already made an agreement with others, it would really be inappropriate for us not to go.”Elaine hurriedly nodded and blurted out, “My dear son-in-law is indeed the best at the most critical moment!”After that, she quickly seized the opportunity and said, “This matter is settled, then. We will go there together at six o’clock in the evening tomorrow. Claire, you can attend your class as usual tomorrow, and my dear son-in-law can come and buy some gifts with me. It’s our first time visiting someone’s house, so it’d not be good for us to go empty-handed.”When Claire saw that Charlie had agreed, she could not say anything else. So, she nodded and said, “Okay, then.”***The following afternoon, Elaine brought Charlie with her as they drove to downto

Lucy warmly invited Charlie’s family into the house. At this time, the living room was already filled with the aroma of food. The interior decoration of this villa was very elegant. At first glance, a lot of effort had been put into it, and it could even be compared to the first-class villa in Thompson First. There were many photos of adults and children hanging on the walls of the home, and each of the photos was very heartwarming. After looking around, Elaine gained a new understanding of Lucy’s strength, and she hurriedly introduced Lucy to Claire and Charlie as she smiled and said, “This is Lucy, the vice-captain of our Rampage Team that I always tell you about! You two should call her Aunt Lucy!”Having said that, Elaine then said to Lucy, “Lucy, this is my daughter, Claire, and the one next to her is my son-in-law, Charlie.” Claire said politely to Lucy, “Hello, Aunt Lucy. I’m sorry to bother you!” Lucy smiled and said, “What are you saying?! Although your mother and I

Elaine sighed emotionally and said, “It’s really frustrating to always be moving like this all the time.”Lucy said casually, “It doesn’t matter if we move. Over the past few years, we have been buying a house wherever we move to. This house that we’re living in now is a new house that we just bought last year.”Elaine was amazed at Lucy’s family’s financial resources. It seemed as though buying a house was just a game to her, and she could buy one at will.So, Elaine could not help but ask, “Lucy, the price of houses in New York is not cheap, right?”Lucy smiled and said, “Actually, it’s still okay. In a place where every inch of land is valuable, houses with high prices also have their own value. Buying a house in such a place is not a consumption but an investment.”Elaine could not help but ask, “How much does it cost to buy an apartment in New York?” Lucy thought about it for a while and said casually, “You’d have to prepare ten to twenty million US dollars to buy a large a

When Lucy heard that the meal was ready, she immediately extended a warm invitation to Charlie’s family of three to go to the dining room.At this time, there was a man in his sixties who was busy setting the plates in the dining room. After Lucy’s introduction, it was revealed that this man was her husband, Jalen Marten.The young man who had invited them to the dining table earlier was Lucy’s son, Kyler Marten. Jalen was very enthusiastic. After inviting the family of three to sit down at the dining table, he smiled and asked Charlie, “What kind of wine do you like to drink, Charlie? I have red wine and Moutai here.” Charlie said politely, “I’m sorry, Uncle Jalen. I have to drive, so I won’t drink.”Jalen was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said, “It’s okay. Don’t drink if you’re driving.” After saying that, he looked at his son, Kyler, and said, “Kyler, if you have nothing else to do tonight, why don’t we both have a drink?”Kyler smiled and nodded. “L
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4665
Jalen and his son, Kyler, had already begun exchanging toasts at this time. Both of them seemed to love to drink. The father raised his glass to have a drink with his son. After the two had put their glasses down after drinking, the son then raised his glass again to have a drink with his father.Kyler’s wife, who was aside, did not seem to mind it. She simply played with her cell phone and ate by herself, and she rarely spoke the entire time.However, what made Charlie uncomfortable was that although Kyler was drinking, his eyes were always secretly looking for opportunities to glance at his wife, Claire. Moreover, there was a lustful look in his eyes, and it was obvious at first glance that he had ill intentions.Charlie could not help but give Kyler a warning look before Kyler finally restrained himself a little. The strange thing was that Kyler’s wife would occasionally look up to take some food, and she could also see her husband stealthily glancing at Claire from time to

After sending Elaine’s family off, Lucy’s family of four, which was originally warm and inviting, suddenly became somewhat silent. Lucy’s expression was a little grim, whereas the other three felt as if they could finally rest and relax now that the performance was finally over. Lucy’s expression was grim as she returned to the room. She sat down on the sofa directly and raised her eyes to look at Jalen and Kyler. After that, she raised her hand and smashed a glass at their feet. Both of them were so frightened that they jumped back in place in fear. Immediately afterward, Lucy then cursed, “You two b*stards! You only f*cking know how to drink and drink! You lose your mind as soon as you see liquor, and it seems as if both of you lost your souls when you smell the fragrance of liquor! Don’t you know that business matters are the most important?! If you still cannot get rid of this f*cking problem, you can just go back to where you f*cking came from, then!” As she said that, she

Kyler asked again, “Aunt Martha, if Elaine succeeds in bringing the goods to Hong Kong, should we arrange for someone to kidnap her after that? After all, her family is quite rich, so we cannot simply let her go in vain!”Lucy sneered and said, “Of course. We’ll let her help us bring the goods there, but we will only be getting one million US dollars if we succeed. If we kidnap her, we may be able to get a few million US dollars out of them! But we will have to wait until she arrives successfully in Hong Kong before we carry out this plan. Otherwise, it will be useless if she already gets caught in New York.”After that, Lucy stood up and said, “I’m going to the Rampage Team now. There is an old man over there who came to the United States to visit his relatives. He has been flirting with me recently, and he will be going back in a couple of days. I feel like I can win him over if I work hard. You guys should prepare yourself and head to the Oskian area in Seattle to see if there is

Jacob certainly agreed with Mr. Bay. When going to a dinner where alcohol would be involved, having a designated driver would be most convenient.Still, Jacob had another plan in mind.Since he had a Cullinan and this was the perfect chance to show off, it would kill him not to drive."Actually, we should go on our own," Jacob told Mr. Bay right then. "We will take my car and get a designated driver to take us home. We can hang out in the backseat to chat—I mean, you'd be in a bad mood if you get a bad driver, bringing a car that stinks of tobacco. You know how bad it can get."Mr. Bay nodded cheerfully. "Alright! I'm counting on you!""Oh, it's only right!"Coming to an agreement, they hurried outside, with Jacob driving and Mr. Bay riding shotgun.They were having a pleasant conversation when Jacob suddenly got a call from Walker, who was his sub at Senior University.Answering with the in-car Bluetooth system, he said, "Hey, Walker. What's up?""Mr. Wilson! I'm done with cl

As such, Albert did not hesitate to say right then, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilson—since they are your friends, I will offer the half-price rebate as you've suggested! When the guests take their seats, I'll personally deliver a couple of nice bottles over as a token of my sincerity!"Oskia truly sets the bar when it comes to being humanistic.There were times when one must show due respect, but not too much either in case it changed the status quo.It was just like a couple eating out with a third-wheel.Even if the third-wheel was better off and happily took the check as the girl watched, there would inevitably be competitiveness. The generosity might even lead to the girl getting attracted to the third-wheel.As such, since Jacob was actually secondary in importance at the event, Albert would have to make sure not to rain on the host's parade while showing his respects to Jacob. Otherwise, the host may hold a grudge against Jacob even if everything was free of charge.And when it cam

Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,

Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min

Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa

As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh

The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office

On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…

Charlie was driving Jacob to Thompson First when the latter received the text from Matilda.Seeing that they were reaching the front gates, Jacob promptly snapped at Charlie, "Charlie, stop the car now!"Charlie did so and asked in curiosity, "What's wrong?""Matilda just texted me," Jacob replied, showing the chat log between him and Matilda.Charlie was just glancing at it nonchalantly when he saw that Matilda's contact name was 'AAA July Florist'."Wait, why is that Aunt Matilda's contact name?" He exclaimed in surprise."I changed it."Jacob explained gingerly while reading through the text Matilda sent. "Her profile picture is an iris, so I changed her contact name to a florist since I'm mostly worried Elaine would peek into my phone.""Anyway, she's asking if I'm attending her wedding with Yolden. They would send us an invitation if I accept, extended to our whole family… what do you think I should say?"Charlie asked in return. "You're planning to skip it, aren't you? T
