The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 665
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

Charlie smiled at him with feigned ignorance and retrieved a small wooden box from his pocket.Charlie had bought the wooden box by the street for five dollars. He had bought it because he thought it was inappropriate to put the pill directly into his pocket or wrap it with a napkin.Sean couldn’t conceal his disdain when he saw the wooden box and sneered, “D*mn, what the heck is that? Did you buy that by the street for ten dollars?”Charlie smiled. “You are half right. Yes, I bought it by the street, but it only cost me five dollars instead of ten.”Everyone gaped in shock at Charlie’s remark!Did he even take Lord Moore seriously?How could he come to Lord Moore’s birthday with a five-dollar wooden box?!Even if there was something in the box, it would be some lousy junk, right?He wouldn’t put something valuable inside such a shabby-looking box.Hence, everyone started booing at Charlie.Even Reuben covered his mouth and tutted contemptuously.Sean howled indignantly as i

No one would have imagined that the 80-year-old Lord Moore would actually kneel to Charlie!Supposedly, when someone lived to be 80 years old, his parents and elders might have already passed away. No one, not even God himself, deserved the privilege of getting him to kneel before them.Moreover, Lord Moore was the head of the Moore family! The largest and most prominent family in Aurous Hill!Their 80-year-old family patriarch had literally knelt before a young man in his twenties!This was incredulously extraordinary and bizarre!Sean was equally dumbfounded.What the hell?!Had the old man actually knelt for a piece of enhancement pill?You should’ve said so sooner!I could’ve used the 400 million dollars on the Vermeer’s painting to buy enhancement pills, it would have been enough to cater to your needs until your 200th birthday!I didn’t even ask you to kneel to me, betrothing Jasmine to me was all I asked for!Meanwhile, the Moore family members were all donning differ

Sean thought that the old thing must have lost his mind or someone had knocked him hard on the head, otherwise, why would he kneel and bow to Charlie?!Lord Moore was the most senior among all the attendees today. Even though the Webb family was at a higher level than the Moore family in terms of the social class pyramid, his father’s power and assets were lesser than the Moore family, not to mention, Lord Moore was an elder.As for the guests, many of them were from average and above average families, but they were still worth at least over 100 million.There was only one loser in this hall, and that was Charlie!Yet, Lord Moore chose to kneel before this loser and even bowed his head to him!Why?!What the f*ck did Charlie have that he didn’t?!Why did Lord Moore kneel to Charlie so humbly?!In other words, he would give his granddaughter to this loser, wouldn’t he?!Sean was extremely depressed and infuriated as he thought about it!If he didn’t tarnish Charlie’s influence

Lord Moore had been very enthusiastic after receiving the Rejuvenating Pill, and he wanted to swallow it the minute he received it.After all, he had seen the magical effect materialize on Anthony after the latter had taken the pill, so he was very worried about damaging it when he held it in his hand.The only way to feel assured was to eat it!Since Charlie had said so, Lord Moore nodded and said gratefully, “Okay, Master Wade, I’ll take it now!”Then, he carefully put the pill into his mouth and swallowed it!As the pill was being digested, he felt that the pill had transformed into a stream of heat that surged into his limbs and veins, warming his body, and every cell in his body was full of vitality. It was as if he had returned to his teenage years, feeling youthful and energetic.Just like Anthony, Lord Moore felt that every part of his body had been nourished by the pill to the point that it was glowing with long-lost youth.Surprisingly, he found that the old wounds and

Charlie was her ideal partner if she ever wanted to marry someone and have children with.But would Charlie fall in love with her?Would Charlie be willing to give up on his current loveless marriage and be with her?Jasmine was a little worried.On the other hand, the rest of the crowd cheered loudly!They were so excited when they saw with their own eyes the exceptional changes that happened to Lord Moore!“How… how is it possible… How did Lord Moore become so young suddenly?!”“Oh my goodness, is this the effect of the Rejuvenating Pill?!”“A pill that can make someone ten years younger! This is a magical pill!”“Master Wade was indeed the true dragon!”“I… I want the pill too…”“Me too… I’m willing to buy it for 10 million!”“One million? You must be kidding! I’ll buy it for 100 million!”“D*mn it! If Master Wade wants to sell the pill, I’ll pay 200 million!”Ear-deafening astonishment and exclamations resonated in the hall!If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes

Don Albert was waiting at the front doors of Heaven Springs when Jacob's Cullinan arrived.He was absolutely enthusiastic in welcoming the man, even stroking his ego as much as possible as he knew Jacob and his vanity—which made that a must.Hence, as soon as Jacob stopped the Cullinan, Don Albert and the manager of Heaven Springs were immediately on hand to receive him.Mr. Bay was riding shotgun but recognized Albert right away, exclaiming, "Shit, he's coming personally to receive you too?"Jacob chuckled. "Well, he and my son-in-law have a lot of respect for each other, so I guess that respect is extended to us as well."As they spoke, Albert had reached the Cullinan and opened the door for Albert, nodding at him respectfully, "Greetings, Mr. Wilson. You can leave the keys with Mr. Carson while I escort you and your friend upstairs.""Thank you very much." Jacob grinned and turned to Mr. Bay. "Come on. Let's go.""Yes, yes, of course!" Mr. Bay smiled and nodded, a little nerv

Mr. Bay's friend promptly asked, "Was it the manager, Mr. Carson?""Nope," Mr. Bay chuckled. "Guess again.""Oh, come on!" Mr. Bay's friend whined. "You're still telling me to guess now? Just so you know, those bigwigs were so pleased when I told them we'd have the Golden Room and said they'd be bringing their cards. I'd be laughed at if I didn't give them the details right now!"Mr. Bay laughed. "Alright, alright, I'll quit being mysterious—it's Jacob Wilson, my vice president. He contacted Don Albert of Heaven Springs personally, and the man promised you the Diamond Room and the finest wines of his cellar!""Holy shit!" Mr. Bay's friend gasped. "Mr. Wilson did? For real?! And the Diamond Room on top of that?!""Indeed," Mr. Bay nodded. "And you know me. Would I kid when it comes to such matters?"Mr. Bay's friend breathed a long sigh as if he had just cheated death. "Heavens… Thank you so much, my friend! You've really saved my skin there! You have no idea how much persuasion t

Jacob wasn't really concerned with the invitation. He wouldn't be going anyway, and he wouldn't tell Elaine about it.Right now, he had a question.After hanging up on Walker, he asked curiously, "A designated driver would be just a few dozen bucks at most. Why get Walker?"Mr. Bay sighed meaningfully. "Jacob, my boy—it's not just my job description you must handle when you succeed me. You must understand the unspoken rules of the workplace as well as interpersonal relationships."Raising his right index finger, he chuckled, "Earning the loyalty of subordinates is a science. But it has to be a carrot and stick—never just the carrot, while offering them chances to be of service.""Take Walker, for example. As his boss, buying him lunch is 5 points. Ask for a favor, but it's 50 points instead!""As a leader, you should also make sure to give requests that are reasonable. That way, they will consider you to be their ally, or soon enough.""People are strange that way—psychology sim
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6392
Jacob certainly agreed with Mr. Bay. When going to a dinner where alcohol would be involved, having a designated driver would be most convenient.Still, Jacob had another plan in mind.Since he had a Cullinan and this was the perfect chance to show off, it would kill him not to drive."Actually, we should go on our own," Jacob told Mr. Bay right then. "We will take my car and get a designated driver to take us home. We can hang out in the backseat to chat—I mean, you'd be in a bad mood if you get a bad driver, bringing a car that stinks of tobacco. You know how bad it can get."Mr. Bay nodded cheerfully. "Alright! I'm counting on you!""Oh, it's only right!"Coming to an agreement, they hurried outside, with Jacob driving and Mr. Bay riding shotgun.They were having a pleasant conversation when Jacob suddenly got a call from Walker, who was his sub at Senior University.Answering with the in-car Bluetooth system, he said, "Hey, Walker. What's up?""Mr. Wilson! I'm done with cl

As such, Albert did not hesitate to say right then, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilson—since they are your friends, I will offer the half-price rebate as you've suggested! When the guests take their seats, I'll personally deliver a couple of nice bottles over as a token of my sincerity!"Oskia truly sets the bar when it comes to being humanistic.There were times when one must show due respect, but not too much either in case it changed the status quo.It was just like a couple eating out with a third-wheel.Even if the third-wheel was better off and happily took the check as the girl watched, there would inevitably be competitiveness. The generosity might even lead to the girl getting attracted to the third-wheel.As such, since Jacob was actually secondary in importance at the event, Albert would have to make sure not to rain on the host's parade while showing his respects to Jacob. Otherwise, the host may hold a grudge against Jacob even if everything was free of charge.And when it cam

Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,

Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min

Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa

As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh
