The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 572
The receptionist said with an apologetic expression, “Sir, I’m so sorry, all our suites on the seventh floor are fully booked. We’ve checked, but the only available suites for your membership level are on the third floor and below. Would you like us to prepare a suite for you on the third floor?”Jake hissed irritably, “What? Are you serious? You want me to go to the third floor? This is a disgrace to my status and my membership! How will others think of me if I go to the third floor?”“I’m very sorry, sir, but there’s nothing I can do. All the suites on the fourth to the seventh floors have been reserved in advance. You did not make any reservation, so, our hands are tied…”“If so, just give me a free upgrade and let me go to the eighth floor or above!”“I’m sorry, sir,” the receptionist said in a polite yet firm tone, “At the Glorious Club, we only allow downgrade service for the membership tier, but not upgrade. That is to say, if the ceiling of your Silver card membership only

Albert was at The Heaven Springs at this time.Donald, the wealthiest and most powerful man in the South Region had reserved the Diamond Box in The Heaven Springs tonight as he prepared to entertain the head of some of the most prestigious families in Aurous Hill.Albert knew that the Webb family was even wealthier and more powerful than the Moore family. Therefore, he did not dare to neglect Donald’s orders and personally supervised the chef who was preparing the dishes in The Heaven Springs.As he was arranging for the food preparations, he suddenly received a phone call from Jake. At this time, he asked impatiently, “Yes, what do you want? Hurry up and speak! I am busy over here.”In Albert’s eyes, Jake was nothing more than his lapdog. He did not care about Jake the slightest bit because he had so many lap dogs around him anyway.Jake knew that he could not afford to offend Albert. Therefore, he said humbly, “Don Albert, I am at the Glorious Club at the moment. I would like to

He was asking Albert to come here? Wasn’t he seeking death for himself?He had initially wanted him to bask in his joy and sorrows, but it seemed that he wanted to continue pretending that he was very cool. Now, it seemed as though this son-in-law had indeed cut off his own chances of living because he was pretending to be very cool himself.Jake did not know that he had already dug his own grave. Moreover, he was even being complimented by so many people. At this time, Jake walked up to Charlie before he smiled and said arrogantly, “Charlie, you’ve offended me just now. Therefore, the opportunity to go to the eighth floor of the Glorious Club has nothing to do with you anymore. You can leave with your father-in-law now.”Jacob glared at Jake with an ugly expression on his face as he said, “Hey, Jake! Don’t you think that you are being a little too much? Did you actually think that I came here to eat and drink with you for free? I am here to meet up with my old classmates!”Jake cu

Aaron was furious when he heard Charlie’s words.He glared at Charlie contemptuously before he said, “You are hilarious. My son-in-law is so filial toward me. Why would he ever hit me?”After he was done talking, Aaron pointed at Jake before he said arrogantly, “Let me tell you something. My son-in-law is so many times better than your trashy son-in-law! Do you know how much pocket money my filial son-in-law gives to me every month? He gives me pocket money of one hundred thousand dollars every month! I am not despising or looking down on you, but can you even make one hundred thousand dollars a year?”Jake sneered before he said, “Charlie, you are truly very brave! Don Albert will be here soon. If you don’t leave now, do you believe that I will get Don Albert to tear your mouth apart later?”“Are you really going to make Albert tear my mouth apart?” Charlie asked as he stared at Jake with a look of disbelief on his face.Jake sneered before he said, “What? You don’t believe it? D

He had no idea what was going on now.He did not know why Albert was giving Charlie so much face. Wasn’t Charlie just the useless son-in-law of his father-in-law’s old classmate?His father-in-law’s old classmate was just a pathetic and useless person. So, his son-in-law would also naturally be just another pathetic piece of trash!Why was Albert attaching so much importance to this useless piece of trash?Before he could figure out the reason, Albert had already given him a tight slap across his face!Slap!Jake felt a little dizzy, and his cheek swelled up immediately.“Don Albert, what are you…”Jake trembled in shock as he asked, “Don Albert, did I do something wrong?”Albert gritted his teeth before he cursed and said, “You are nothing more than a lapdog, but you actually dared to offend Mr. Wade? You must already be tired of living, aren’t you? Okay, then! I will drag you to my dog farm, chop you up, and feed you to the dogs today!”Jake felt as though his head was goin

”You…you…”Aaron was so mad and furious at his son-in-law, Jake, that his chest was rising and falling violently at this time.He never would have dreamt that the son-in-law he had always loved and admired would suddenly become a vicious jackass who wanted him dead!He shuddered as he cursed out loud, “Jake! I must have been blind to allow my daughter to marry an ungrateful brat like you!”Why would Jake care about the fact that Aaron was his father-in-law now?He was even more afraid that Charlie and Albert were truly going to kill him! He would really lose everything then!If someone had to pay the price and die today, Jake would rather the victim be his father-in-law than himself!After all, today’s events had all been caused by that old man. If he had not asked him to cause trouble for Jacob and his son-in-law, Charlie, why would he have even ended up in this situation now?Therefore, Jake pointed his finger at Aaron before saying, “Aaron, you old dog! The only reason why I

At the same time, Jake continued punching and hitting Aaron until he knocked him unconscious. After that, he woke him up with two tight slaps across his face before he continued to hit him again…Aaron’s old classmates could only watch in amazement, but none of them dared to step forward to stop him at all. Meanwhile, Jacob was so excited because he could finally get his revenge on Aaron.When he saw that Aaron was almost beaten to death by Jake, Charlie stopped him immediately as he said, “Stop it! If you continue beating him up, he is going to die. I still want him to spend the rest of his life in prison!”Jake hurriedly stopped. After tearing himself away from Aaron, he spat on him before cursing at him in disgust. “Old dog, you are still trying to harm me and push the responsibility to me? If it weren’t because of Mr. Wade’s graciousness, I would have already killed you! D*mn it!”After he was done speaking, Jake knelt to the ground before he crawled to Charlie as he begged, “M

Jake had completely resigned to his fate.Compared to having to dig ginseng for the rest of his life on Mount Golmin, he was already very blessed to be able to stay and carry cement at a construction site in Aurous Hill for the next twenty years of his life.At least he would be able to live in the city, go home, and enjoy the nightlife now and then.If he was sent to Mount Golmin, the rest of his life would be gone.When he saw that he had already accepted his fate, Albert snorted before he said, “You should know that you are already very lucky. I could have just taken you to the dog farm and fed you to my dogs today!”Jake nodded in a hurry before he said with gratitude, “Thank you, Mr. Wade. Thank you for being so gracious to me… Thank you, Don Albert…”Albert quickly instructed his men, “Come over here and bring him to the construction site now. Let him eat and live with the workers at the construction site. He is only allowed to take two days off every month!”“Yes, Don Alb

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
