The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4726
“Felons?” Elaine was shocked when she heard this word and hurriedly said, “Mr. White, can you think of a way so that I can be sent to another detention center instead? I’m just a helpless old lady, so how am I going to fight those felons?! I’ll definitely get beaten to death when the time comes...”Jakel said helplessly, “Sorry, Madam Elaine, but this is the operating rule of the New York judicial system. Judging by the current alleged crime that you’re charged with, Bedford Hills Correctional Facility is the only place that you can be sent to. This is not something I can deal with. I’m a lawyer, and I want to do things within the legal framework, not undermine the legal framework.” Elaine suddenly panicked and then spoke up as she asked, “Mr. White, is there a prison tyrant in the prison in the United States? It’s the kind of person who holds the most power in the prison and bullies anyone she catches.”“Well...” Jakel said embarrassedly, “As far as I know, there should be such

There was a very small single bed on the left and right in this semi-open space.At this time, the inmates inside were resting. Some of them were lying on the bed, and some were sitting at the head of the bed talking to others. When the group of inmates heard the prison guard yelling, they slowly got up and lined up in the inner part of the corridor in the middle. The prison guards did not rush to open the gate at this time. Instead, they counted the number of people inside. After confirming that everyone had lined up, he then said over the walkie-talkie, “Open the gate of Cell No. 12.”As soon as his voice fell, the heavy iron grill gate opened automatically. The two prison guards with batons took the lead and walked in first while the other two guards escorted Elaine and followed behind.After entering, Elaine was brought to a group of female inmates directly by the prison guards.This group of female inmates was all of different races, and their ages ranged from eighteen t

Elaine had completely misunderstood the logic of survival in American prisons.Here, the other inmates would certainly bully you to death if you were truly innocent, but if you were a felon, especially if you were a felon with a background, the other inmates here might not necessarily show you great respect, but at the very least, they would know that you were not to be messed with, so they would try to stay away from you as much as possible.These people would definitely have stayed away from her if Elaine had admitted that she was a drug dealer.After all, drug dealers were synonymous with outlaws in the United States, and drug dealers would never act alone. There would always be a ruthless and powerful organization supporting them. However, Elaine had exposed the truth when she was nervous because she was afraid that people would truly misunderstand her and think that she was a drug dealer.This was also the reason why the red-haired woman had slapped her without any hesitatio

When Chloe saw that Elaine’s face had swelled up, she laughed contemptuously and said, “Remember that I’m just teaching you a slight lesson today. If I don’t see a cigarette tomorrow, you will have to bear the consequences on your own, then!”Having said that, she instructed a woman behind her, “Jayne, go and get a basin of water!”The woman called Jayne ran to the bathroom immediately and quickly came back with a basin full of water.Chloe looked at Elaine and said coldly, “Sorry, you can only sleep on the floor today.”Having said that, she signaled to Jayne. Jayne was not a good person either. She looked at Elaine playfully before pouring the basin of water directly over her bed. This time, it was not just the bedding that Elaine received that was soaked with water but even the pillows and mattress were unusable.Elaine did not dare to say anything let alone resist. So, she could only look at her bed that was dripping with water submissively with immense hatred and regret i

All the inmates in the whole cell block were only enjoying the show, and no one wanted to say a word of justice for Elaine. So, Elaine could only clench her teeth and nod.Although Elaine felt very resentful, she did not dare to disobey Chloe. After all, she had no choice but to concede since she was in a disadvantageous position. What’s more, she felt even more helpless because she was in a foreign country now and had no one to rely on. Fortunately, Elaine could still adapt to the situation, and she could only submit and give in when she saw that she could not afford to offend Chloe.When Chloe saw that Elaine had swallowed all the toothpaste in her mouth, she smiled contemptuously and asked coldly, “Did the toothpaste just now help you recall how to give someone a foot massage?”Elaine hurriedly nodded repeatedly and said, “I remember... I remember...”Chloe snorted and scolded, “Since you already remember how to do it, why aren’t you getting a basin of water to wash my feet

Chloe pulled her foot out of the warm water and kicked Elaine’s chest as she said coldly, “Old lady, you need to figure out your place here. When you’re here, you only have one option, and that is to obey what I say. Otherwise, I have ten thousand ways to deal with you. Do you understand me?!” Elaine already had a broken rib. After getting kicked like this, even though Chloe did not hit her broken rib, the pain caused Elaine to tear.Elaine could not help but look at the other inmates as she hoped that someone would step forward to administer justice for her or even plead with Chloe on her behalf. However, she did not expect that everyone in the entire prison cell, including the Oskian girl who had spoken to her and translated for her just now, was only watching as she was ridiculed. So, she could only nod as she sobbed and cried out, “I understand... I understand...”Chloe sneered and then looked at the time as she spoke up, “It just so happens that there are still four hours left

Elaine knew that many bad people were colluding in this place, and it was not the right time for her to reason with this American prison guard. So, Elaine hastily asked her, “Can I call my family now?”“Yes.” Jacelyn said lightly, “It will be your unwinding time after dinner. You can use your ID card to call your family then.”Having said that, she secretly slipped a piece of paper into Elaine’s hand and whispered, “This is my younger sister’s phone number. You can contact her if you want to buy cigarettes.”She could not wait to call Charlie right now and cry so that she could let Charlie do everything he could to save her.However, if she wanted to call home, she would have to wait until dinner time was over and everyone was out on the field. So, Elaine could only follow the large group to the dining hall.When Elaine was in the dining hall, she could only hold her dinner plate and forcefully bring her dinner plate to an unoccupied corner.After she had sat down, Chloe sudden

Elaine was slightly relieved when she heard this.Two thousand US dollars was indeed not a small sum if it were to be converted into Oskian dollars, but Elaine believed in her son-in-law’s ability to make money.After all, Charlie could usually earn several million Oskian dollars whenever he went out to read Feng Shui for others. This would be converted into hundreds of thousands of US dollars which would be enough for her to live a worry-free life in prison for a long time.As she thought of this, she hurriedly said to Chloe, “Okay! I’ll call my son-in-law after dinner as long as you can keep your promise!”“Okay!” Chloe nodded in great satisfaction.She had been in Bedford Hills Correctional Facility for so long, but she had never met an inmate with such great financial strength before. She had originally planned to get someone to buy a cigarette from Jacelyn so that she would also receive fifty US dollars in addition to the cigarette.And just now, Jacelyn had told her in pr

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
