The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5271
“What?!” Hannah said in shock, “I would be sentenced to prison for ten years?!”The police officer said indifferently, “Once it is characterized as fraud, the amount of money involved would be a particularly large amount. The starting sentence would be ten years, and it would include confiscation of all your illegal gains. If your amount of money increases during this period of time, you will definitely be sentenced to ten years or even longer.”Hannah was stunned. She did not expect that there would be such serious consequences to selling misery on a live broadcast that would even encompass criminal law. However, even though it was Elaine who had somehow helped Hannah out of that predicament, Hannah could not forgive her at all. She even secretly swore in her heart that she would definitely find a way to exact revenge on Elaine when she was released. Meanwhile, Hannah’s video was still fermenting on the internet. More and more people who had bought things from Hannah’s live br

As the popularity of the video continued increasing and Hannah was formally detained, the Aurous Hill police also released the results of handling this matter to the public.The netizens were initially very dissatisfied with the punishment when they heard that Hannah was only sentenced to ten days of administrative detention.However, the police also showed Hannah’s husband and son’s medical report to the public. The father and son duo had indeed been paralyzed in bed for several months and could not receive active and effective treatment due to the lack of money.However, the netizens were still skeptical when they first saw this article. After all, in Elaine’s subsequent exposure of the information, it was said that this family lived in a villa at the famous Thompson First, where the price of a single unit exceeded one hundred million dollars. Therefore, everyone was questioning that even if Hannah’s husband and son were really paralyzed, how could she not bring them for treatment

Jacob, who was still a little disheveled, said impatiently from inside, “Why are you knocking? I want to rest even if you don’t want to sleep!”Elaine said impatiently, “Just open the door when I ask you to do so. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and open the door!”After that, Elaine began knocking on the door vigorously again.Jacob had no choice but to open the door. He glanced at her and said in annoyance, “Hurry up if you have anything to say.”Elaine looked at Jacob and frowned when she saw that he was only wearing a pair of briefs. She then said, “Put on your pants quickly and drive me out to buy some firecrackers. I want to celebrate by setting off some firecrackers!”“Firecrackers?” Jacob muttered in dissatisfaction, “It’s not the New Year so why do you want to set off firecrackers?!”Elaine blurted out, “Hannah is done for! This kind of great joyous event is celebrated by the whole world, so why can’t I set off firecrackers to celebrate?”Jacob waved his

After Elaine gave up on the idea of buying firecrackers to celebrate, Wendy rushed to the police station to bring Christopher, Harold, and Lady Wilson out of the police station.Wendy had been in a meeting at the company tonight when she received news that something had happened to her mother. She drove the company car and rushed back home, but the police called her before she got home and asked her to head to the police station to pick up her family members.Therefore, Wendy hurried to the police station and picked up her father, brother, and grandmother after going through the formalities. On the way back, Wendy was driving and Lady Wilson was sitting in the passenger seat. Christopher and Harold were slumped in the back seat, bound by seat belts. Lady Wilson kept crying continuously in the car as she muttered, “It’s over for the Wilson family... It’s completely over...”Harold also had tears in his eyes as he clenched his teeth and cursed, “That b*tch, Elaine, is really d*mne

Christopher also sighed despondently and said, “Wendy, you’re right...”Wendy was silent for a moment as if she had made some kind of decision. She suddenly restarted the car and made a right turn at the intersection where she should be going straight, then spoke up and said, “Forget it. I’ll send you two to the hospital right now! You should hurry up and recover from your injuries so that you can go out and find a decent job after you recover!”Christopher nodded and said dejectedly, “To be honest, I’m about to lose my mind from lying in bed for half a year. I’ll go and find a job after I recover...”After saying that, he looked at Harold again and said, “Harold, you’ve been fooling around for most of your life, and it’s time for you to get a little work done! When the time comes, both of us will look for a job. Neither one of us can stay home idly to wait to be fed!”Harold knew that his dream of becoming a rich heir was shattered, so he could only nod, choked up, and said, “I kn

Wendy’s determination startled Lady Wilson. At the same time, she also felt a chill down her back.She was shocked because she did not expect that Wendy, whom she had always led by the nose, had become more and more powerful ever since she had taken up the position as the manager of the etiquette company. She even made it clear that everyone in the family would have to obey her from now on.As for the chills down her back, it was because she realized that Wendy had never forgiven her for what she had done back then. The only reason why Wendy was still taking care of her instead of taking revenge on her was mainly because she was old. However, Wendy had already made herself very clear. If she really continued relying on her age to cause trouble, she would really be left with nothing and no one to depend on.Lady Wilson was not a fool. She knew that in a family, whoever controlled the money had the right to speak for the whole family.She was old and had no assets. It was even a pr

Since Hiroshi had arrived in Aurous Hill a few days earlier ahead of the Ito family, he specially arranged for a convoy to pick them up today.When the Ito family left the airport by car, the flowers that arrived at random were also transported away by multiple refrigerated trucks that were prepared in advance. Although Charlie was the only thing on Nanako’s mind, she still chose Shangri-La as her first stop. However, Yahiko did not go to Shangri-La, but was taken to Thompson First by Hiroshi. Yahiko did not plan to go to Shangri-La before the wedding because he was a well-known figure in Japan, after all, and he was worried that he would be seen by too many people, thus exposing the secret of his legs regenerating. Isaac only got the news when Nanako’s convoy arrived at Shangri-La.Upon learning of her arrival, Isaac called Charlie immediately and reported the news to Charlie. When Charlie heard that Nanako was here, his first reaction was to be very pleasantly surprised. It

Rosalie nodded slightly and then asked Nanako, “By the way, Miss Nanako, did you tell Mr. Wade in advance before coming here today?”“No.” Nanako said somewhat shyly, “Charlie-kun must be busier on weekdays, so I didn’t tell him in advance.”Rosalie smiled and said, “Even if you didn’t tell him, Mr. Cameron would have already told him as soon as possible. Mr. Wade attaches so much importance to you, so he might already be on his way here now.”Nanako blushed and said, “No... I think Charlie-kun also attaches great importance to you...”Rosalie said shyly, “I... I’m not in the same situation as you... I’m Mr. Wade’s subordinate, but you’re Mr. Wade’s confidante...”Nanako looked at her and asked curiously, “Are you really just his subordinate?”Rosalie said somewhat unnaturally for a moment, “I’m really just his subordinate. Mr. Wade has saved me many times and helped me a lot, so I naturally have to stay by his side to repay his kindness to me. Therefore, I’m naturally just his s

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6535
"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
