The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5500
The maids had prepared a sumptuous breakfast in the huge dining room on the first floor. Christian and Merlin were extremely energetic as they sat at the dining table to devour this exquisite breakfast that was filled with a variety of dishes. The elderly couple was not the only ones who felt that they had a particularly good sleep last night, but Christian and Merlin also felt the same way.The two of them felt as if they had returned to their careless and energetic age when they were seventeen or eighteen years old. They could fall asleep immediately as soon as they lay on the bed after using up all their energy during the day.When they saw the elderly couple arriving, they quickly stood up and greeted them. Christian asked with concern, “Mom, Dad, did the two of you have a good sleep last night?”Lady Acker said excitedly, “We slept very soundly. I have good news for you. Your father actually remembers what happened yesterday!”“Is that so?!” Christian was so shocked that he

Merlin exclaimed in awe when he heard Lady Acker’s words, “Aunt Holly, that is a great idea!”After saying that, he immediately took out his cell phone, turned on the video recording function, and said, “We will take turns recording Uncle Keith. Christian, please arrange for someone to buy a few action cameras that can be worn on a person to record non-stop. When Uncle Keith rests in the evening, you can ask people to import all the materials into the computer so we can review the videos together in the morning tomorrow!”Christian was very excited as well and said without hesitation, “Okay! I’ll make the arrangements now!”Lady Acker added, “I think the environment here is indeed very good. Keith, let’s have some breakfast quickly, and I’ll take you out to the lake for a walk after that. Perhaps there will be better results!”When Merline heard this, he hurriedly said, “Aunt Holly, I have a different opinion on this point. I think you and Uncle Keith should stay in this villa inst

Lady Acker hurriedly said, “I planned to go to the place where Ashley used to live today. I had someone investigate before, and it seems that the old mansion has been bought by Sheldon Schulz’s ex-wife.”Christian frowned and asked, “Sheldon Schulz’s ex-wife?”“Yes.” Lady Acker nodded slightly. Christian looked surprised as he asked, “Why did Sheldon Schulz’s ex-wife buy the place where my sister and brother-in-law used to live?”Lady Acker sighed softly and said, “I asked someone to investigate, and it seems that Sheldon Schulz’s ex-wife was your brother-in-law’s suitor back then. She hasn’t forgotten your brother-in-law even after so many years. Some time ago, she infuriated the Schulzs because of the auction for the old mansion, and the Schulzs basically kicked her out. The matter caused a pretty huge sensation, and we heard about it in the United States as well.”Christian nodded and said, “Yes. I don’t know the specific details, but I only know that the scandal of Lord Schul

Merlin would never betray Charlie because Charlie was the one who saved his life. In addition, Merlin felt that it was not the right time for Charlie to be reunited with the Ackers. Therefore, he could only play along and come up with a fake plan as long as it did not allow the Ackers to ultimately discover clues about Charlie. His mission would be completed, then.Christian suddenly said again, “By the way, Merlin, have you ever thought about investigating the benefactor who saved your life?”Merlin was startled and said, “The whereabouts of the benefactor who saved me is unpredictable, and he has never showed his true identity to me. I don’t have any clues even if I want to find him.”Christian shook his head and said, “It’s not that there are no clues. It’s right in Aurous Hill!”Merlin deliberately asked him, “What do you mean, Christian?”Christian said seriously, “I told you about the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill that I attended in Aurous Hill. I have always wanted to f

Christian accompanied Lady Acker to the old mansion Charlie’s parents used to stay in twenty minutes later. The Ackers’ convoy quickly left Willow Manor and headed for the city of Aurous Hill. At the same time, Charlie was also driving from the city in the direction of Willow Manor. He planned to go to Champs Elys Resort, and the straight-line distance between Willow Manor and Champs Elys Resort was very close, only separated by two mountains. Therefore, most of the journey from the city to Willow Manor and from the city to Champs Elys Resort overlapped. When Charlie was on the highway out of the city, he saw an oncoming convoy coming from the opposite direction.Before he set off, Merlin had sent him a text message to inform him that his grandmother would be visiting the old mansion his parents used to stay in today. Therefore, even though the two parties passed each other at extremely fast speeds, Charlie could still tell that this was the Ackers’ convoy.However, Charlie was

Meanwhile, in the old town district of Aurous Hill. The Ackers’ originally eye-catching convoy had dispersed before entering the old town district, making it less eye-catching. However, all vehicles were still closely guarding the vehicle that Charlie’s grandmother and uncle were riding in from all directions. Helen and Sophie had already had breakfast in the old mansion that Charlie’s parents used to live in.Sophie was already dressed up smartly, and she picked up her handbag and said to Helen, “Mom, I’m going to Aurous University of Finance and Economics.”Helen nodded and said, “Drive safely on the road. Will you be coming back for lunch?”Sophie said, “I won’t be coming back at noon. Autumn and I will have lunch together at the cafeteria at Aurous University of Finance and Economics.”As one of the people in charge of Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group, Sophie had been going to Aurous University of Finance and Economics with Autumn every day recently to look for Yolden for ma

“Huh?” Helen exclaimed as she looked at the old lady in surprise. “You’re Lady Acker?! Please come in! Mr. Christian, please come in too!”With that said, she quickly opened the door.Helen did not understand why Lady Acker would come to see her at first but soon realized that the purpose of the old lady’s visit should not have anything to do with her.Based on Charlie’s instruction, she immediately concluded that the old lady’s purpose in coming here must be to find out clues about Charlie. Lady Acker and Christian thanked Helen and followed her in. Sophie walked out of the inner door at this moment and could not help but feel a little confused when she saw an old lady and a middle-aged man walking into the courtyard. Helen quickly introduced, “Lady Acker and Mr. Christian, this is my daughter, Sophie. Sophie, this is Lady Acker and Mr. Christian from the Acker family in the United States.”Sophie subconsciously blurted out, “Lady Acker… Isn’t that Mr. Wade…”Sophie initially

When Helen saw that Lady Acker seemed to be in low spirits, she comforted her somewhat apologetically, “Lady Acker, I just moved in here not long ago. I don’t know if Charlie has been here for so many years before I moved in, so you don’t have to be so pessimistic and worry too much.”Lady Acker nodded slightly and sighed as she said, “I have no doubts that Charlie is still alive, but I can find too few clues related to Charlie now. If any one of these clues are broken, it would mean that there will be one less clue…”Helen smiled and said, “Lady Acker, perhaps it’s just not the right time for you to be reunited with him now. When the time is right, I believe he will come to meet you even if he is far away.”Lady Acker smiled wryly and said, “I believe what you’ve said. I’m just afraid that I will not be able to wait for that day when I’m already at this age.”Helen could not help but feel a little distressed when she saw the old lady was so melancholy. Aurous Hill was definitely

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
