The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5772
Although traveling at the speed of nearly a thousand kilometers per hour was already very fast, it still made Fleur anxious.Ever since her master's portrait was revealed in Aurous Hill, her mentality had shattered. She completely lost the composure expected of a four-hundred-year-old woman.She looked at the flight navigation chart in front of her alone, stared at the altitude and speed data, and couldn't help but mutter angrily, “The faster modern technology develops, the more these bastards become greedy. Back in the day, the Concorde aircraft could fly over two thousand kilometers in an hour. Now, airplanes can't even reach one thousand, and those that can don't have long enough range! It's infuriating!”A crew member, upon seeing her frustration, quickly approached and respectfully said, “British Lord, calm down. This segment of the journey is too far. Even if we had a Concorde aircraft, it would struggle. Its maximum range is only five to six thousand kilometers. The Concorde

“What did you say?!” Fleur erupted in anger at that moment.Having lived for four hundred years, she had ignored almost everything in the last three hundred years. In these three hundred years, he was the first person to dare to say that he would chop off her head.When Zekeiah, who was on the other end of the phone, heard Fleur's angry shout, he was instantly frightened out of his wits, and he quickly bowed on the other end as he apologized, saying, “British Lord, forgive me. I was only repeating his words and did not intend any disrespect…”Although Fleur knew that Zekeiah was just repeating the words to her, she still felt a raging fury in her heart.Zekeiah was afraid that Fleur's anger would not subside, so he quickly added, “British Lord, I am willing to share your worries and personally go to Aurous Hill on your behalf. At that time, I will do my best to find out who that mysterious person is!”Fleur said coldly, “If you go now, you will be walking right into a trap.”Zeke

Charlie pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but he still held back.Although these four elderly people’s ages added up to nearly four hundred years, they had always regarded Vera's words as their guiding principles. It was no exaggeration to say that Vera was their life mentor. They believed and did whatever Vera said and asked them to do. So, if what he said contradicted Vera's words, they would definitely choose to listen to Vera.Charlie was helpless and could only let the old lady kneel down and thank him. After she got up, Charlie spoke up and said, “By the way, has Miss Lavor come down yet?”Logan said, “Mr. Wade, Miss has given us instructions to lead you to her courtyard first when you arrive.”Charlie thought they were in a hurry and that Vera would come down and they would then go to the airport together. He didn't expect Vera to want him to go up. However, he didn't have any other thoughts or opinions. If Vera wanted him to go up, he would go up.He then bowed

Charlie thought, ‘What help do I need to change clothes for? I'm not disabled.’However, he still smiled and said, “Okay, I'll go up first.”Vera’s bedroom was upstairs. The same faint fragrance as Vera’s permeated the room, making him feel slightly dizzy. Charlie subconsciously recalled the experience of being helped onto the bed by Vera when he was seriously injured, and he could not help but feel a strange sensation in his heart. However, he didn't dare to think too much and quickly took out the clothes Vera had prepared for him to change into.As he took out the clothes, he realized that Vera had prepared matching couple outfits for them. The clothes in Charlie's hands were an oversized Gucci T-shirt, classic LV-printed shorts, and the same Hermes slippers. It seemed that Vera wanted them to disguise themselves as a couple when they went to Yorkshire Hill.Charlie didn't think much about it. A man and a woman going out together disguised as a couple seemed more reasonable.

Charlie's words made Vera's eyebrows twitch involuntarily. She seemed to understand something but deliberately didn't ask further. Instead, she put this matter aside and smiled at Charlie, saying, “Young Master, since you can't make up your mind, let me take charge of this matter.”After saying that, she tilted her head for a moment, then said, “If it were ancient times, I would definitely call you ‘sweetheart’. But now, no one uses that term anymore, and since we are pretending to be a couple rather than husband and wife, how about I call you ‘darling’, and you call me 'darling' as well?”After saying this, Vera breathed rapidly. She was blushing as she watched Charlie, afraid he would refuse or be displeased.Charlie didn't think much of it. They were pretending to be a couple, after all, and they were even wearing couple outfits. It was normal for the terms of endearment to be a bit cheesy. Besides, if they were a couple, it didn't seem appropriate to call each other by their nam

At this moment, Vera wore a shy smile on her face, reminiscent of a young girl. It was evident that she was in extremely high spirits as she walked beside Charlie. Her eyes occasionally stole glances at Charlie, but each time, it was just a brief glance, not daring to stare for long. Every time she looked, her eyes would curve up like the willow leaves swaying in the wind, truly embodying a breathtaking beauty.However, the Vera they remembered was always carefree, playful, and sometimes domineering, but never shy or timid. They never associated her with the words ‘shy’ and ‘timid’.Now, they finally realized that Vera also had such a girlish and shy side.Logan watched Vera walking toward them from a distance and couldn't help but sigh with a smile, “If Miss were to wear a wedding dress or a traditional outfit, she would be even more beautiful, wouldn't she?”Emmett waved his hand solemnly and said, “No, she still looks quite young. Nowadays, girls get married in their twenties

Vera couldn't help but ask him angrily, “Shouldn't you call me 'darling' as well?”Charlie coughed twice and asked her, “There's no one else here. Do you really want me to call you that?”Vera felt aggrieved and said, “We agreed on this earlier…”Charlie immediately said seriously, “Alright, I'll keep my promise.”After adjusting himself, he said, “Darling, we'll reach the airport in half an hour.”Vera smiled sweetly and said, “Got it. Thank you, darling!”Vera, who was satisfied, couldn't help but notice Charlie's left hand on the steering wheel, and she curiously asked, “Darling, didn't you wear the ring I gave you when you came out?”Charlie casually replied, “Why would I wear it? The ring recognizes your father as its owner, not me. If we encounter danger together, it will still teleport me to you. If we really meet Fleur, wouldn't that be like a bug getting stuck, unable to escape her grasp? It would be like giving her the ring for nothing. So, it's better not to wear it.”

A trendy and stylish couple dressed in high-end fashion walked hand in hand through the VIP passage to complete their boarding process. They then held hands and boarded the airport's business car reserved for VIPs.To outsiders, these two must be lovers who were rich heirs. Not only were they dressed in high-end brands, but they also seemed to have spent hundreds of thousands on private charters for their trips.However, this was just the best disguise for Charlie and Vera.With Charlie's current appearance, no one would doubt he was just twenty years old. Even if he bumped into acquaintances, they wouldn't recognize him.As the two boarded the plane, the crew guided them to the spacious cabin. Vera completely ignored the first two independent first-class seats and held Charlie's hand as she walked toward the back and said coquettishly, “Darling, I want to sit with you.”There were side-by-side double seats at the back with no armrest in between, just like a standard double sofa 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

"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
