The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5655
From the moment he lost consciousness, Charlie had no idea how long he had been drifting in the void until finally, a faint light suddenly appeared before his eyes.At this moment, along with the faint light came intense pain and an extreme sense of weakness. This sense of weakness was so overwhelming that he could not even muster the strength to open his eyes.Soon, he felt that his body seemed to be enveloped in a warm sensation, and this warmth seemed to provide some relief to the intense pain all over him. He then discovered that the warm feeling was lifting him upward.Afterward, he heard a familiar voice exclaiming in his ear, “Charlie!” This call allowed Charlie’s vision to gradually return.When the weakened Charlie opened his eyes and saw the person in front of him, he was utterly stunned because he suddenly discovered that the beautiful girl soaking in the hot spring pool, revealing only part of her beautiful shoulders, was none other than the mysterious Vera!Charlie wa

Charlie felt that his brain was completely exhausted, and he couldn't make sense of the logic at all. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Vera had used the name ‘Veron’ during her visit to Aurous Hill, but after meeting him, she referred to herself as ‘Vera’.Although there was only a slight difference between the names ‘Vera’ and ‘Veron’, the meaning was extraordinary for Charlie.He almost instantly felt a chill down his spine and weakly asked in shock, “No… Do… Do you remember me?”Vera nodded and struggled to hold the weak Charlie as she moved toward her bedroom. She said softly, “Charlie, you saved my life in Northern Europe. I’ll never forget that!” Charlie was extremely shocked. He muttered, “Why… Why can you still remember? Could it be… Could it be that you’re a cultivator as well?”Vera smiled shyly and said, “Charlie, I’m not a cultivator, but my body is a little special, so you can’t erase my memories…”After saying this, she felt the physical contact between

Vera nodded and said, “I know a bit of everything, but just the basics.”Charlie could not help but sigh and say, “I brought many pills with me before I set off, but I’m left with nothing now…”After saying that, he remembered something and quickly asked Vera, “By the way, what is the date and time now?”Charlie did not know how long it had taken for him to suddenly appear here. If it only took him a short while, he still had time to rush home to destroy the letter that he had left behind for Claire. If a long time had passed, Claire might have already found out about his secret, then.When Vera saw that Charlie was extremely anxious, she hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Charlie. I heard the explosion in the southern suburbs just a few seconds before you appeared in the hot spring pool. It has only been a little more than half an hour since then.”Charlie finally heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Vera remembered something from his previous murmurings and suddenly said wit

Upon hearing Vera’s explanation, Charlie subconsciously frowned and asked, “How is that possible? You must be lying to me.”“Why would I lie to you?” Vera said with certainty, “It’s absolutely true! I can swear on my life!” Charlie shook his head and spoke very seriously and earnestly, “I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I believe that this ring can indeed send people to others, but when the explosion happened just now, I wasn't thinking of you… I was thinking about my deceased parents…” With that said, Charlie continued murmuring, “It seems that an image of my wife flashed in my mind at the very end. If what you said is true, the ring should have sent me to my wife instead…”Vera pursed her lips and said with a hint of sadness, “Charlie, I’m not lying to you. I naturally know that you will not think of me in a moment of life and death. It’s just that my father was the one who left this ring to me. He wanted to see me the most before he died, so the ring sent him to me.”

Vera giggled and said, “Coincidentally, I still have the very last piece of Pu’er tea left. I've been reluctant to drink it, and I have been waiting for the day when I can personally brew it for you to taste it. Charlie, please wait a moment!”Charlie hurriedly said, “Miss Lavor, there's no need to trouble yourself. Just pour me a glass of water.”Vera stood up and did not look back as she said, “The Pu’er tea that I saved is the best Pu'er tea in the world. Charlie, you will definitely regret it in the future if you don’t taste it.”After saying that, Vera added, “Moreover, I will start explaining everything that you’re curious about, starting from that piece of Pu’er tea.” Vera then quickly fetched her complete tea set and the piece of Pu'er tea she had always treasured without waiting for Charlie’s response.After returning to the bedside, Vera carefully lit the olive charcoal in the copper stove. While waiting for the water to boil, she opened the well-aged Pu'er tea with a

“What… What did you say?!” Vera’s casually spoken words made Charlie feel like his whole body had gone numb. This was not an exaggeration. He genuinely felt a tingling sensation from his scalp to his toes!Vera claimed that she had witnessed the Mother of Pu’er Tea failing to overcome calamity by the Heavenly Lake three hundred years ago. Did that mean she was now over three hundred years old?! Charlie couldn't believe Vera’s statement at first. After all, even if a person truly found the path to longevity, it was usually a gradual process. People might start cultivating in one's twenties or thirties, but it was often possible for cultivation to take place around the age of fifty or sixty, or even older. As one’s cultivation deepened, one’s lifespan would extend, but even a cultivator over a hundred years old, like the great earl from Qing Eliminating Society, retained the appearance of a man at around sixty years old.If Vera was truly over three hundred years old, she should

Charlie subconsciously asked Vera, “Did you paint this painting?”Vera nodded and said, “I painted this a few days ago. I painted it especially for you, Young Master.”Charlie could not help but feel amazed. He never expected Vera to have such extraordinary painting skills. Just a while ago, his father-in-law had mentioned an art exhibition organized by the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and he was struggling to find good works. If Charlie brought this painting there, it might cause a sensation among landscape painters nationwide!Vera suddenly grabbed Charlie’s right hand, which was adorned with a ring, and intertwined her fingers with his. She then said with an expectant expression, “Young Master, dare I suggest taking you to witness its appearance three hundred years ago with your own eyes?”With that said, the ring, which had been silent all this time, seemed to understand Vera’s words and released a bit of Reiki directly toward both of their minds.In the next moment,

When Vera’s figure disappeared on a mountaintop, Charlie’s awareness instantly returned from the deep mountains of southern Yorkshire Hill to reality.The moment he opened his eyes, he fully believed Vera’s words. He believed that this girl had lived from three hundred years ago until now. At this moment, he finally realized why he had always felt that Vera was extraordinary but could never quite grasp what the issue was.At seventeen or eighteen, she was proficient in the near-divine art of divination that even someone like Chandler couldn't master at a hundred years old.At seventeen or eighteen, she was relentlessly pursued by the Qing Eliminating Society. If the Qing Eliminating Society had been hunting her down for five years, wouldn't she have been engaging in a battle of wits with them since she was twelve years old?Similarly, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she mysteriously appeared in Aurous Hill shortly after parting ways with him in Northern Europe, appearing befor

The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What

At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav

The cabbie nodded. "Well, Talbot Associates, it is! They're said to be number two."-While Jacob was heading off to consult a law firm, Charlie was calling Julien Rothschild over the phone.The manchild had just had room service and was lounging on the couch, fiddling with his phone.After visiting the kennels with Charlie, he had been idling his days away at the hotel, waiting for Salem and his son to post that video of them being out at sea.Once that was done, Julien would return to the States, once more the heir apparent of the Rothschilds. Still, it was boring to simply lounge around in the hotel, and he would really like to strengthen his ties with Charlie.However, he was also afraid of being too forward as Charlie could be intimidating, and he could upset him—just like a fan eager to get close to their idol but was still worried about their idol getting disgusted with them.As such, he never expected Charlie to call him, and he immediately answered eagerly, "Good even

Pausing, Mr. Bay continued, "If they're not that upset with the idea, I'll bang my gavel and make the call so that you can at least stay as a vice president."If they keep refusing, I just have to promote Mr. Zonda to become a vice president while you take over his position of head-of-department as insurance. What do you think?"Jacob certainly wouldn't protest the idea of insurance, especially when he thought he would be forced to leave the Calligraphy and Painting Association altogether earlier. He quickly exclaimed gratefully, "Thank you so much, Mr. Bay!"Mr. Bay chuckled, clearly relieved as well. "Come on, Jacob—you don't have to be so formal. I'm like a brother to you! Don't you think that's what I should be doing?"Jacob laughed earnestly for once. "Well, brother, I'm honestly relieved…" He trailed off but soon pressed on, "But I have to ask, won't the other members have things to say even if you manage to persuade the other vice presidents? What if they remain unhappy?

There were times when making a person despair to some extent could be a people-strategy.For example, when your distant acquaintance asked for a ten grand loan but you could only lend him one, you couldn't tell him directly that. It would make them think you were being insincere.The better option would be to tell them how you were worse off than they were and had a debt yourself, or that some other friend had borrowed money for three years and never repaid it.And when that mere acquaintance was in despair, you could tell them that if it was really important, you could lend them one thousand with a credit card loan.That way, while the mere acquaintance wouldn't exactly be awash with gratitude, they at least wouldn't complain about your lack of sincerity.That was exactly what Mr. Bay was doing.He had no intention of offending Jacob, but he also couldn't directly tell him to give up on claiming the position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Otherwise, Ja

Jacob felt absolutely horrible just then, and he certainly did not expect Don Albert to give him the cold shoulder.If he had known, he would have just stayed content with the 200 thousand he had made and enjoyed his trip to Dubai! If he had, the Calligraphy and Painting Association wouldn't have found out about the bronze sculpture plot, and Don Albert would still be on friendly terms with him.Absolutely regretting everything, Jacob got in the backseat of the cab, tears of grief almost welling up and out of his eyes.Then, noticing that the cabbie was quietly watching him from the rearview mirror, he turned his face aside, whipped out his phone, and called Mr. Bay.As soon as Mr. Bay answered, he asked, "How did things go over there? Have you sorted out Zachary Evans yet?"He was waiting for Jacob to ask Don Albert for help so that the latter would pressure Zachary into posting a statement retracting his previous claims.However, Jacob knew full well that there was no hope for

Ramond replied, "I'm not planning on getting my name out there—I was just thinking I could start slow from one shop, but now, I'm suddenly so popular everyone's consulting me for appraisals, so I guess that's the short end of this."Either way, I'm planning to let things cool off by opening the shop late and closing early. That way, I'd receive fewer customers, and the hype will die down in a month."Once it does, I'll lead a slow life, which is perfect in Aurous Hill since it's how things are here. I'm not aiming to get rich or expand my business, and it's a comfortable life, so I plan to retire here."Charlie nodded. "The Rothschilds are relatively manageable, but I'm not sure if the Qing Eliminating Society is still looking for you and the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. You'll be completely free once they are wiped out.""And I'm sure with your abilities, Mr. Wade, that day will soon arrive." Raymond smiled and soon remembered. "By the way, you probably haven't had dinner yet, right

Charlie was never one who covered up misdeeds, and what Jacob had done reflected his corrupted character and clear refusal to feel remorse.As such, Charlie naturally refused to offer any help, completely giving up and allowing Jacob to keep going off on his own tangent, tearing himself apart in the process.Still, Raymond did put a good word in for Jacob. "Actually, one can understand Mr. Wilson's motives from a certain point of view. I was the one who set him up so that he broke that vase, and had him beaten up so that we didn't arouse suspicion. He has every reason to bear a grudge."Charlie sighed, nodding. "There's no issue with holding a grudge or getting revenge—in fact, I have no problem with him trying to salvage some pride. However, what he did was unseemly, and he doesn't know when to stop."He didn't lose anything before Zachary exposed everything. Even if he had missed a killer deal, he bought it off someone's hand in the first place and made two hundred grand in clean

With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j
