The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 609
Charlie shook his head slightly and said, “Forget it, Albert. Sometimes, there are things that you must learn to accept, be it good or bad.”Albert glared at Elaine indignantly while she crouched at the side, trembling in horror.She didn’t dare to mention a word about the money anymore and kept the grief and bitterness in her heart.At this moment, several cars stopped abruptly in the villa’s courtyard. Isaac got out of the car and personally escorted five adults who were tied up into the house.Fear and terror were written all over the five people’s faces. As soon as they saw Linda after entering the door, a young man blurted, “Mom, what’s going on?!”Linda looked at the crowd and wailed in despair when she saw her husband, children, and children-in-law being taken into the house.“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault… I’m so sorry for dragging all of you into this…”A man in his fifties hurriedly asked, “Dear, what’s going on?!”Charlie said coldly, “Are you aware that

Blood drained from the woman’s face. She blurted, her voice shaky, “I… I’ve never been involved in the operations, I just do the accounting…”“Accounting?” Charlie said flatly, “That makes you an accomplice too! You’d better go with them to redeem yourself. All of you are really a bunch of scum!”Isaac said, “Master Wade, I know this woman. Her father is Lucas Frank and he runs an underground casino nearby. Do you want me to destroy them?”“Investigate their operations and background and see what they’ve done. If their sins are unforgivable, just kill them.”The woman collapsed on the floor, frightened and befuddled.Soon, three Toyota Coaster mini buses drove into Thompson First and parked in front of the villa. Albert’s men broke Hudson’s leg along with the rest of his gang’s before sending them into the bus.Charlie said to Elaine, “Mom, let’s go.”There was a dash of embarrassment on Elaine’s face. She pulled Charlie aside and whispered, “They filmed me, the shameful kind. Q

Elaine knew that if she was busted, she could be charged for gambling. Worse still, if her husband and daughter knew that she had gambled with such a large amount of money, they would be infuriated.She would be condemned for what she had done.Although the money was gone now, at least she did not end up worse than those people who were sent to the coal mine for the next one to two decades. Yet, she couldn’t help feeling depressed with the money and bangle lost.She could still explain herself about the broken bangle. She had taken the broken pieces with her anyway, she could tell her family that the bangle broke.What explanation should she come up with regarding the money?Jacob did not have his own bank account. All the household money was in her own hands, including the money her husband earned from reselling the antiques.Now, she had lost all the money to gambling. If Jacob were to find out about it, he would be extremely angry at her!Elaine was sighing in depression an

Charlie smiled at him. After finding out that Claire and Elaine were not in the living room, he asked, “Have Claire and Mom returned?”“No and yes,” Jacob gestured indifferently and said, “Your mom went into the room as soon as she came home, saying that she was not feeling well. I wonder what’s wrong with her, she must have lost money playing mahjong and is heartbroken!”Charlie nodded and asked attentively, “Dad, don’t you want to check on her? Just in case?”“Argh, forget it.” Jacob gestured, unconcerned. “She only knows playing mahjong and nothing else, I’m sick of it. Even if she loses, it’s only about several thousand, just leave her be. She’ll know how to slow down after crying for two days!”Charlie tried to stifle his laugh.Several thousand?Dad, you should multiply that by eight thousand!Your wife has lost more than sixty million today!Now that he thought about it, he couldn’t help but sigh at Elaine’s stupidity. She had lost more than sixty million in a mahjong ga

While Christopher indulged in his imagination, thinking about how to make Elaine his long-term cash withdrawal machine, Lady Wilson walked in from the outside with a gloomy expression.Christopher jumped from his seat and greeted, “Mom, you’re home! How’s everything?”Lady Wilson huffed indignantly and said, “The bank will soon start the bankruptcy liquidation process, they said that it will start next Monday. Once the process starts, they will seize this house. Where is the eight million that you promised? Why haven’t you transferred it to me yet?!”Christopher chuckled pretentiously. “Mom, stop rushing me. Didn’t I tell you that the money is stuck in the fixed deposit account? My fund manager is trying to withdraw it as soon as possible. I promised that I’ll give you the money, just be patient.”If possible, he didn’t want to give his mother even a penny. However, something changed his mind.He depended on Lady Wilson to inherit the anonymous assets that Lady Wilson had hidden a

After taking the phone, Lady Wilson tried to dial Hannah’s number, but the same notification came through.She said in confusion, “What’s wrong? Why has she switched off her phone?”“Mom, it’s quite common for the phone to turn off automatically when the battery is dead. Besides, she’s outside and it’s inconvenient for her to charge her phone.”Lady Wilson threw the phone to him and chided angrily, “Then keep calling until the call gets through!”Christopher sighed. He sat on the couch and kept calling and hanging up.It went on for half an hour but he couldn’t get through to her.As Christopher attempted to call her again, he felt that something wasn’t going right as they had planned…Logically speaking, the mahjong scam that Hannah and Linda had planned was not held outdoors but inside a house. Charging a phone should not be a big problem.Moreover, he reminded her again and again to always keep in touch just so he could go and save her if anything happened.Hence, it was im

Upon hearing the words ‘Thompson First’, Lady Wilson’s eyes opened so wide they almost popped out of her eye sockets.She had coveted Charlie’s new villa for a long time and even in her dreams, she wanted to move into the house so badly.In fact, she hoped she could die in the house.There were some superstitions and sayings among the folk, such as it is best not to die in the hospital because you might not find the way home.Another one was it is best to wear your shroud before you die because you might be naked when you go to the afterlife.Yet another example was that if you die in a mansion, you would be able to reincarnate into a wealthy family in your next life and enjoy the glory and wealth.Therefore, Lady Wilson longed that she could live in a top-notch luxury villa like Thompson First until the day she died.The other day, she had directed Harold to rob the villa but ended with horrible consequences. Harold and his bodyguards had been beaten up terribly.Since then, s

It was possible that Hannah would make a run for it if she really had that much money in hand. After all, she and Elaine were two peas in a pod. They were greedy and loved money more than anything.‘Mother is right,’ Christopher thought. ‘Now that me, our children, and even my mother have become burdens, it’s possible that she has chosen to run away with the money!’A layer of resentment and gloom surfaced on Christopher’s face. He said in a deep voice, “Let me call Elaine and ask.”He grabbed his phone and called Elaine.His call was answered almost immediately.“Hey, Elaine, it’s your brother-in-law, Christopher…”Elaine gritted her teeth in disdain when his voice came from the other end of the line!This f*cking old dog! He must have known about Hannah’s plot to scam her!Maybe he was the real mastermind behind all this!When she thought about the terrible losses she had suffered today, she wanted to curse him at the top of her lungs!However, when her thought shifted to t

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

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

"That would be me," Don Albert replied and asked in return, "And who are you? What's your business with me?"Mr. Bay quickly said, "Good evening, Don Albert. I'm Mr. Bay from the Calligraphy and Painting Association—we've met before.""Oh, Mr. Bay…" Don Albert did indeed recall who he was. "So, why have you called me?""I hope you don't mind—I had to ask a few friends to get your number…"Don Albert smiled as he already had a hunch that Mr. Bay was calling about Jacob. "I see. Just be straight with me now.""Okay, so here's the thing…" Mr. Bay promptly said, "Jacob and Zachary Evans really stirred some waves with what they did, and it's talked about a lot amongst the circles of antique enthusiasts in Aurous Hill… But I wonder if you've heard?"Don Albert sighed. "Yes, I've heard. Go on."Mr. Bay obliged. "Well, to be honest, it wasn't just a big deal amongst the circles of antique enthusiasts in Aurous Hill. Even the Calligraphy and Painting Association was affected. As you know

Having heard all of that, Julien promptly picked up his cup and chugged his drink, and he felt distinctly different as soon as the liquor touched his lips.While one would usually feel warm after drinking alcohol, like a thrilling burning sensation, this medicinal liquor was nourishing instead, almost as if every single one of Julien's sweat pores were revitalized.After all, it was the enhanced version of the Healing Pill, whose effect was more than double the prototype. That was why just a fifth was enough for Julien to feel two years younger.With the miraculous pill, he felt less tired, and sitting on the stool didn't hurt his rump or his hip.Even his sight was much sharper, his presbyopia clearing considerably.In short, his entire body had never felt this good!Even as he glanced at Raymond across the table, he could see that the other man's cheeks were flushed, and many of his wrinkles had smoothed over!It went without saying that Julien was envious as Raymond drank twi

Julien had made up his mind—Charlie had already dragged him into this anyway, and he certainly wouldn't stay as a slave who bemoaned his fate every day.He had boarded Charlie's ship, and the ship had sailed—he just had to come up with a plan so that he could stay on it without any problem.After all, the chances for him to become the next Rothschild head or how long he would get to live were banked entirely on Charlie's decision.If Charlie didn't want him as head, he just had to ask Helena to be his broker and sell some pills to old Harrison, and Julien would be forced to stay as the heir apparent to their empire until he expired.And since the decision was made, he must first show some sincerity by investing into Aurous Hill—it was the ideal way to bring in both capital and human resources.With Julien having indicated his position, Charlie smiled. "Aurous Hill is a land of wealth and prosperity. As a local, I keenly await your investment, Mr. Rothschild."Julien was worried f
