The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 660
Could it be…Could it be…Could it be the Rejuvenating Pill that Anthony had taken?!Lord Moore had been dreaming of getting a chance for Charlie to bless him with one of the Rejuvenating Pills so that he could indulge in the intense feeling of going back in time, borrowing more time to stay alive and helping the family go further.However, if there was one thing he had learned throughout his long life, it was that chances were hard to come by!He dared not go to Charlie for the pill for fear that Charlie would find him repulsive, thus, he could only wait patiently for the right moment to come.Initially, he thought that this rare chance would only come by when Jasmine and Charlie had made substantial progress in terms of their relationship.But now, from the way Charlie put it, he felt as though Charlie might truly have prepared the pill as a birthday gift for him.He wasn’t sure and did not dare to ask him directly, so, he bowed at Charlie as he suppressed the excitement and

In Lord Moore’s opinion, Charlie had always been the best candidate for the son-in-law of the Moore family.With his eighty years of life experience, he knew at a glance that Charlie was extraordinary!Charlie was the first man he recognized to possess powerful abilities that were comparable to a true dragon on earth!In addition to the wonderful effects of the Rejuvenating Pill, he was more convinced of Charlie’s ability and wanted to lean on him.Establishing a good relationship with the Webb family was nothing more than diversifying more routes to make even more money for the family.However, the Moore family was considered rich even though they were not as wealthy as the Webb family.There was not much difference between a net worth of 100 billion dollars or 200 billion dollars, it only equaled one thing—they already owned more money than they could spend.Moreover, for Lord Moore, money was no longer important. Lifespan and health were the most important of all!Therefore,

Jasmine was the best candidate as his son’s wife!Donald was a little hesitant and indecisive when he thought of it.Following Donald’s gloomy silence, the atmosphere turned into an awkward reticence.Reuben secretly punched his knuckles in dismay when he witnessed this awkward scene.If both families fought and generated an irreversible crack or in the worst-case scenario, turned against each other, it would undoubtedly be a massive blow to the Moore family!More importantly, Jasmine would be even more unlikely to marry Sean!If Jasmine didn’t marry him, his position as the future heir would be unstable!Even if he was appointed as the head of the family, Jasmine might have a part in the family’s inheritance!He was determined to not let Jasmine stay with the Moore family, and so, he would definitely oppose strongly for Jasmine to marry Charlie and let him live in their house!Therefore, he hurriedly stood up to lighten the mood and said, “Hey, Uncle Webb, Sean, today is my g

The crowd started to walk toward the banquet hall where the birthday celebration was about to begin.Lord Moore exchanged a few words with Charlie and went to sit at the main seat.Sitting next to him was his eldest son, third son, and fourth son.Among the second-generation heirs of the Moore family, Reuben’s father was the eldest son, and Jasmine’s father was the second son, but he had died young, hence, Jasmine was the only one left in this line.As for the family of the third and fourth sons, they were relatively young and their children were still in the teenage or elementary school age, thus, they were not considered in the inheritance competition.The rest of the guests sat down at their assigned tables.Charlie sat with the Quinton family, the White family, Albert, and so on.Donald and Sean were sitting with a few local families. Some of them were families who were busy buttering them up, and they surrounded the Webb family’s father and son, continuously flattering them

At this moment, he received a text from Jasmine: [Master Wade, I hope you don’t take what happened earlier personally. With the Moore family around, the Webb family will not be too presumptuous.]Charlie smiled and replied: [Of course, I don’t mind, they are nothing but a bunch of circus clowns.]Meanwhile, Donald and Sean were sitting in the VIP seats on the other side.Sean looked at Jasmine, then at Charlie, and saw that both of them were looking at their phones. When she put it down, he picked it up, and when he put it down, she picked it up again. It was obvious that they were exchanging texts.As he watched their exchange, he was even more agitated. He had added Jasmine as his Facebook friend, but she had set her profile as private!In fact, she rarely responded whenever he chatted with her.However, as he watched the frequency of her chatting with Charlie now, she was so acute and responsive, almost as though she was afraid to miss his message for even a second. She even h

Sean shivered in elation at the thought of killing Albert tonight!His father was right, Don Albert was Charlie’s firearm in Aurous Hill!If they wanted to attack Charlie, they must first remove his firearm!Not only must they remove his firearm, but they also had to turn the firearm into their own!That way, the firearm would become the bridgehead for the Webb family to march into Aurous Hill in the future!At that time, Charlie would pay the price with his own life for insulting them and tackling Sean’s girl!The Quinton family and the White family would also pay the price for not taking the Webb family’s side!Donald looked at Sean and said flatly, “You must learn to calm down and put up a poker face, don’t let your true emotions show so easily on your face and body language.”Sean quickly retracted his grin. “Okay, Dad, I understand!”“Good.” Donald nodded, putting Charlie’s matter behind him, and he asked, “Have you prepared the birthday gift for Lord Moore?”Sean nodded

After the three sons, Jasmine and Reuben walked on stage, knelt in front of Lord Moore, and presented their gifts.Oscar then announced:“The eldest grandson, Reuben Moore, presents a pair of imperial jadeite ornaments, worth 80 million.”“The eldest granddaughter, Jasmine Moore, presents a painting, The Blinding of Samson by Rembrandt, worth 70 million.”After the family finished their rounds, the guests stepped forward one after another, giving gifts.Although the guests’ gifts were not as valuable as the Moore family members’, they were also quite pricey between the range of 10 to 30 million.Next, Donald and Sean stood up. Sean held the gift carefully and walked toward Lord Moore with his father.On his way, Sean shot a scornful look at Charlie.He was about to give Lord Moore a priceless piece of authentic painting from Vermeer, it had to be the most valuable gift among all the guests!He was certain that Charlie’s gift would pale in comparison to his gift, he would know
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 667
In Sean’s opinion, he was convinced that there was nothing Charlie, the deadbeat moocher, could give to Lord Moore that was comparable to Vermeer’s painting!Thus, he concluded that he would win over Charlie big time and also become the winner in the gift-giving round who surprised the guests and impressed Lord Moore the most.After all, in Sean’s view, Charlie was just a worthless loser who had chosen to marry into his wife’s family, it was impossible for him to come out with a decent gift, so no matter what his present was, it couldn’t possibly be on par with the precious painting he had given Lord Moore!Therefore, he sneered, “Grandpa Moore, I heard that Master Wade has been lingering in the feng shui fraud for some time now, he must have accumulated a significant fortune from all the scamming he did. I bet his birthday gift to you must be a precious treasure that is worth hundreds of millions, or maybe even billions of dollars!”Then, he turned his sneer at Charlie, “The paint

Having lost it all, Jacob really looked like he wouldn't be getting back up.But fortunately, he had a pillar in the form of Elaine.In fact, Elaine would serve to be a container, whipping Jacob into shape if he got too full of himself.But on the other hand, now that Jacob was utterly despondent, she would be forcing him to smile and function in general.Elaine's attitude to the entire issue was clear as well. Even though Jacob had just lost his job, she would make him go shopping with her in Dubai even if he fell into a coma. Even if he was dead, she'd just cremate him and bring his ashes along.Hence, with Elaine's firm grip around Jacob's leash, he went on strolls, going shopping and taking selfies with Elaine everyday, eventually easing the toll on his mood and spirit.-Back at Aurous Hill, Charlie was preparing for Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall's wedding as it approached.Yolden was a schoolmate of his mother, Ashley Layna Acker, as well as Charlie's elder.And while Cha

"See you." As soon as Charlie hung up on Matilda, Don Albert's call came right after.He sounded nervous as Charlie answered the phone, saying, "Master Wade, I think I might have gone too far…""Wait, what's this about?" Charlie asked."Your father-in-law, of course…" Don Albert sighed. "You asked me to leave him hanging for a while, so I did. I even refused when he asked to book a room in Heaven Springs.""Well, that's not a problem, is it?" Charlie shrugged. "He and Zachary ganged up for some real mischief. As you are Zachary's boss, it's right that you refused him because you didn't appreciate what he did.""That's just it. I thought that approach was just right as well," Don Albert quickly said. "I wasn't playing nice when Mr. Bay of the Calligraphy and Painting Association called me either. That's when he said he'd try to save Jacob's position as vice-president, but I told him it's none of my business."I then hung up on him without much thought, only for Zachary to tell m

Meanwhile, Charlie was downstairs in Claire's office, waiting to pick her up and head home.That was when Matilda called him, asking as soon as he answered, "Charlie, do you know how Jacob is doing? He never answered any of my texts—is he going to be alright?""I wouldn't know," Charlie replied. "Both he and Elaine are in Dubai on a trip… What's wrong?""He resigned," Matilda sighed. "I only saw the public statement that the Calligraphy and Painting Association posted this afternoon. It says that he tendered the resignation himself, but it doesn't really feel that way. I wonder if he's at odds with other members of the association…"Charlie was actually surprised to hear that Jacob had resigned.He had told Zachary to expose the truth of the bronze sculpture fraud case to teach Jacob a lesson so that Jacob would understand the meaning of true pain.However, he anticipated that Mr. Bay would at least keep Jacob around with an unimportant job even if Jacob did lose some money and e

Falling apart in both mind and spirit, Jacob was crying as he disembarked and took a cab to the hotel.Elaine, who had been lying around for 24 hours, was stunned speechless as she watched him enter, crying like a child.In contrast, Elaine looked like a mother to Jacob just then as he threw himself into her arms and bawled, "Darling… That prick Mr. Bay screwed me over… I have nothing left now…"Taken aback for a moment that Jacob would bawl in her arms like that, Elaine soon came to her senses and patted his back as she comforted him, "Oh, stop crying already. Who cares about some Calligraphy and Painting groupies? We certainly don't! Just hear me out and don't ever go there again!"Jacob kept sobbing, "But I care… I want to go…"Annoyed, Elaine's hand that had been patting Jacob a moment ago slid down to his hip and pinched him viciously before he noticed."Ow!" Jacob yelped in pain, and he demanded indignantly, "What was that for?!""Shut up!" Elaine snapped, glowering. "I wa

Jacob couldn't even be bothered by the looks others were giving him, and he called Mr. Bay immediately.Mr. Bay had already gone home and was seated on the couch with his wife, watching his phone and waiting for Jacob to call and demand an explanation.Mr. Bay knew that he had to answer for this and that if he avoided Jacob, it may well be a confession that he had screwed Jacob over.So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to come clean with Jacob.Naturally, by coming clean, he meant passing the buck as his wife had suggested.Hence, as he answered Jacob's call, he immediately sighed in embarrassment, "Hey, Jacob. I'm so sorry about that…"However, Jacob was so furious he immediately started bellowing, "Mr. Bay! Are you fucking with me here?! You said that the resignation letter was more of a formality, but you just made it public instead! So, all those things you said about helping me were just a trap, was it?! You're despicable! And to think I've been so good to you, even

The repeated flights had left Jacob tormented.Even before he actually had the time to enjoy Dubai, he had already gotten sick of the place and didn't want to ever return.And on the flight, he couldn't stop his thoughts from going astray.Now that he was not getting back the money he had lost, his only hope was Mr. Bay.Fortunately, Mr. Bay was serious about his promise that he would at least save him a job as department head. That was why, despite his thoughts running astray, he never considered the thought that he would be kicked out of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.As soon as his flight landed, he didn't wait to turn off his phone's flight mode, waiting for the internet connection to return so that he could ask Mr. Bay about the meeting.Once he did, he received a ton of messages from public accounts to acquaintances—many had already found out that he had resigned from the post of administrative vice-president and wanted to ask how he was doing.And Matilda was

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
