The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5623
At 9:00 p.m. at night at Willow Manor.The Ackers had just finished dinner and were asking Merlin to analyze the clues they had gathered over the past few days in the living room.Keith, the head of the Ackers, had been staying in the villa during this period of time and had had significant improvement in his health. Not only did his memory stop deteriorating, but he also gradually recovered the memories that he had forgotten. More importantly, after recovering, his overall logical thinking had improved greatly, restoring his commanding style and momentum from the past.During this family meeting, Christian briefed everyone on the progress of his collaboration with Moore Group first. Christian said, “Our collaboration with Moore Group has officially entered the negotiation process. Starting today, the legal teams of both sides are negotiating the details of the cooperation, mainly to finalize the specific terms. Due to the sincere approach of the Ackers, the negotiation atmosph

Lady Acker said, “Go ahead and speak up, Lulu.”Lulu said, “I investigated the situation at Aurous Hill Welfare Institute today. I wanted to see if there was any information related to Charlie among the orphans they rescued over the years. Currently, the institute's records show no clues related to Charlie, but what's strange is that Aurous Hill Welfare Institute underwent a major personnel change last year. From the institute's director to the staff below and even the chef who cooked for the orphans, all of them underwent a complete turnover. None of the old employees were retained at all. I find this matter quite unusual. It's not uncommon for personnel changes in welfare organizations, but a complete and sudden change seems a bit strange. What do you think?”Keith frowned and said, “There must be ten to twenty people in the management and execution side of a welfare home. Even if the management changes, the operational staff below them shouldn't be replaced entirely, right? After

“That’s simple!” Lulu said excitedly, “We can check the social security files of the previous team! The welfare institute is a social welfare organization funded by both the government and private donations. As a unit that requires public supervision, their personnel records must be very complete, especially if they are really on a major mission, as Merlin suggested. They would need to appear compliant and flawless, otherwise, if someone notices abnormalities in their personnel records, it could immediately raise suspicions!”Merlin praised, “Lulu’s thinking is very clear. We will probably be able to get some clues by finding a way to check the previous personnel records of the staff at Aurous Hill Welfare Institute!”Kaeden exclaimed, “I'll get someone to check it right away!”After saying that, he immediately took out his cell phone and made a call.Keith had retired for many years, and over time, his connections had diminished. There were not many connections that he could use a

Ashley and Curtis’s only son, Charlie, had gone missing twenty years ago as well.Everyone felt as if they had been blindly searching for twenty years worldwide, and this time, it felt as if they had finally grasped something.Christian blurted out impatiently, “Tell us about the entry times of these sixteen people in detail!”Azure hastily responded, “Among these sixteen people, fourteen joined at the end of winter in February twenty years ago, and their previous dean, Killian Caito, joined in the fall in November twenty years ago. Aside from these fifteen people, the latest entry was a female worker who joined in winter in December twenty years ago. It will be twenty years in another three months.”Lady Acker suddenly had an extremely horrified expression. She burst into tears and sobbed as she said, “Ashley and Curtis left Eastcliff and came to Aurous Hill in March twenty years ago. They met with their accident at the end of October, and Charlie disappeared at the end of October

At this moment, the yard surrounding the villa had turned into a hellish battlefield!Mr. Chardon held a wooden sword that was less than thirty centimeters long in his hand, but the invisible blade it carried had a length of nearly two meters!This was the temporary magic instrument that the British Lord had entrusted to Mr. Chardon. Although the wooden sword looked short, small, and unremarkable, in reality, it functioned like a lightsaber from Star Wars, with an extraordinary attack range.In the logic set in the movie, a lightsaber emitted plasma from the hilt to form the blade. Mr. Chardon’s wooden sword surpassed this concept. It could transform Reiki into a blade, and he could control the blade at will!Several bodyguards attempted to surround and attack Mr. Chardon, but he casually swung the sword in the air with just one hand. An invisible energy then shot out swiftly from the sword, piercing through the chest of the frontmost bodyguard when he was still a meter away from

She had underestimated Mr. Chardon for quite some time, always thinking that this old man was solely focused on cultivation. However, it was not until today that she realized that this old man actually harbored such a strong desire for slaughter!Just as she felt that Mr. Chardon was being excessively ruthless, a helicopter that was flying low in the sky appeared, swiftly approaching Willow Manor!At this moment, the Acker family members felt a lump in their throats when they heard the wails outside. They could not have anticipated that after their recent crisis in New York, the other party would quickly trace them back to Oskia.Charlie’s third uncle, Jaxson, nervously said, “Dad, Mom, I’m afraid that it will be a life-threatening situation this time. The two of you should leave through the back door first!” Christian also realized the situation and hastily said, “That’s right, Dad. You and Mom should leave first. We will stay and keep guard here!” Keith snorted coldly and sai

If this kind of Reiki persisted, staying and cultivating here would undoubtedly yield twice the result with half the effort! He was extremely excited and pointed his wooden sword at the crowd as he said coldly, “No one is answering me, right? Since no one is answering me, I’ll just randomly choose someone and behead them in front of you all to set an example!”After saying that, he noticed Lulu, who was well-dressed, and sneered, “This young lady must be Lulu Acker, the second young lady of the Ackers, right?” Lulu cautiously questioned, “What do you want?”Mr. Chardon sneered, “I want to teach your parents and brothers a lesson. The lesson is called ‘The Consequence of Non-cooperation.’”After saying that, he swung the wooden sword immediately, and the invisible blade instantly struck Lulu. Lulu felt a gust of wind coming toward her, and she seemed to be frozen in place, almost as if she was completely immobilized. At the critical moment, Merlin suddenly smashed a teacup on t

No one expected that amidst the scenario where the Ackers’ bodyguards were killed and their corpses scattered everywhere, someone would still dare to walk in through that door!Mr. Chardon, who was extremely arrogant, immediately exploded with rage upon hearing the mocking voice. He turned around, eager to see which audacious bastard actually dared to call him a mere lackey!Both Merlin and the Acker family members instantly recognized this familiar voice. Merlin knew it was Charlie who had arrived, and the Ackers knew it was their benefactor.Although they all recognized Charlie’s voice, their emotions were drastically different. Merlin had long expected that Charlie would show up, and he was even thinking to himself, ‘Charlie, oh Charlie, you’ve finally decided to show up! If you had come a few seconds later, I would have lost my life here…”As for the Acker family members, at this moment, they only thought that they were going to get saved at a critical moment and survive a cr

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
