The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 702
A short while later, the beautiful female manager walked back into the Diamond Room. At this time a timid young man was following behind her and his head was lowered as though he did not dare to look up at all.Jacob and everyone else in the Calligraphy and Painting Association were all very confused at this time. They could not help but wonder why Albert would prepare this kid as a performance for them.In fact, there was nothing special about this young man at all!As soon as the young man walked into the Diamond Room, he immediately bowed in front of Albert without saying anything at all. After a short while, he said in a fearful and respectful manner, “Uncle Albert, I am here to report to you now. Please inspect my scar.”This person was none other than Marcus Lloyd.That day, after carving the words ‘pathetic jerk’ on Marcus’s forehead at Champs Elys Spa Resort, Albert had directly instructed him to come to The Heaven Springs every week so that he could check and inspect his

After Marcus was ridiculed by the crowd, Albert gestured to him to go away.Usually, after the humiliating meeting at The Heaven Springs, Marcus would cover his forehead and go home quickly.But this time, he walked back to the parking lot with a murderous look on his face and got into the car that Cain and Johnny were in.Cain had been waiting for him for a long time. When Marcus got into the car, he quickly asked, “Son, how was it?”Marcus gritted his teeth and said, “There are thirty-something waiters and guards inside but most of them are women. The ones who are really combative are the twelve security guards.”Cain turned to the man sitting next to him and asked in a concerned tone, “Mr. Johnny, are you confident that you can handle so many men? Will you be on the losing side if they start an attack?”Johnny smiled coldly and said, “Huh, even if all thirty-something people are security guards, they are like dummies to us!”Cain immediately complimented, “Wow, Mr. Johnny, yo

However, Don Albert’s arrangement for tonight’s dinner was so extremely lavish that Jacob was dumbfounded. One serving of the best double-headed abalone for each of them cost 8,880 dollars per person, in addition to the black truffles, caviar, and other delicacies that could easily reach thousands of dollars for each serving.He estimated that this dinner was worth at least two to three million!Jacob had never eaten such an expensive meal in his entire life. He shivered in delight and said to Albert, “Mr. Rhodes, thank you so much for your hospitality! I really appreciate it!”Albert smiled lightly, retrieved a business card from his pocket, and said as he handed it to Jacob, “Mr. Wilson, this is my name card, please keep it! Next time, if you’d like to come to The Heaven Springs again, just give me a call and I’ll reserve the Diamond Suite for you right away.”Jacob grinned as he held the business card like a child receiving a lollipop.The people from the association witnesse

Everyone in the suite was startled by the abrupt noise.They looked at the door and saw a brawny man walking into the suite with a cold face.Behind him, four arrogant-looking men followed and entered the suite too.These five men were Donald Webb’s personal bodyguards.Cain and Marcus followed these men with wicked grins on their faces.Albert frowned in dismay as he saw the Lloyds and chided, “Huh, you’re very bold huh, bring someone to challenge me at my own restaurant?!”Marcus snorted disdainfully. “Albert Rhodes, you can keep up with your cockiness, but you’re going to die soon anyway! I’ll never forget the humiliation and scorn I got from you and I’m here to kill you today!”Everyone’s jaw dropped as soon as Marcus finished talking!Was he serious?Was he really bold enough to kill Don Albert?!Albert laughed at his sinister remark instead and said, “You? Want to kill me? Do you really think that my title is nothing but a hoax? Do you know how many men I have in the ci

Jacob was shaking in fright. He urged Morgan as he saw him standing frozen and hesitant, “Morgan, go! If they really attack you, I don’t know how and what to say to your family!”Johnny shouted coldly, “If you don’t want to go, just stay.”Morgan gritted his teeth in agony. After a short hesitant, he turned around and ran out of the suite.Jacob was completely in despair right now, but he was fortunate that Albert was here with him, so he prayed that Albert could handle the tricky situation.Little did he know that Albert was powerless at this moment.If his men were around, they would have barged into the room when these people made such a loud commotion in the Diamond Suite. Since no one had come over, it proved that they had been seriously and fatally injured as stated by these people.Cain glared at Albert in resentment and growled, “Albert Rhodes, today is your day to die!”Then, he turned and said respectfully to Johnny, “Mr. Johnny, please!”Johnny nodded, took a step fo

When Cain and the gang barged into the Diamond Suite, Charlie was on his way to The Heaven Springs, driving Jacob’s BMW.He had not planned to go out so early, but there was an annoyance in the house—Elaine.She couldn’t stop nagging him. First, she nagged about how wasteful Jacob was to have spent twenty grand on dinner instead of cosmetics for her and some mahjong rounds with her friends.Then, she diverted her nagging attention to Charlie, disliking him for not earning a living outside and staying at home mooching off them.She became more and more energetic as she went on her nagging spree, insisting on introducing Charlie to a job as a security guard in the parking lot with a monthly salary of three thousand dollars a month and insisting that he give her all his salary when he received it.Charlie knew that Elaine’s pocket was as clean as a whistle after the scam and that she couldn’t afford any lavish expenses like she used to, so she could only spend most of her time at hom

When Charlie entered The Heaven Springs, he found all the waitresses and security guards lying on the floor.Charlie approached them to investigate and realized that they lost consciousness. There were large bruises on their necks as if someone had struck them vigorously with their hands.‘Hmm, it looks like they are skillful and powerful!’ Charlie frowned, the truth slowly sinking in. Then, he moved his legs and went upstairs!At this moment, Albert was on the verge of dying, his eyes slowly turned white.On the other side of the suite, Cain and Marcus exchanged glances.Marcus took a dagger from his belt and said coldly as he looked at Jacob who was trembling in the corner, “Since Johnny has Albert under control, I’ll deal with this b*stard Jacob!”“Dad, grab him, I want to carve ‘pathetic jerk’s father-in-law’ on his forehead!”Cain nodded with a vile smile, “Yes! Do it! Carve with all your strength, carve until you hit his skull!”Jacob was so frightened, he felt as if hi

Charlie’s expression was as cold as frost!Never would he have imagined that Cain and Marcus would dare to bring someone to kill Albert and Jacob!He was so furious right now that he was ready to make a killing!Cain and Marcus, on the other hand, were over the moon when they saw him!For all this while, Marcus was in the living hell, suffering all kinds of insults and humiliation! It was all because of Charlie!Finally, he got his revenge tonight!Cain was equally spiteful towards Charlie due to his attack today. Initially, he regretted that he could not kill him today, but he showed up right in front of them! What a surprise!Cain quickly turned to Johnny and yelped, “Mr. Johnny! This motherf*cker is Charlie Wade! Kill him now!”Marcus shouted cheerfully too, “Yes, Mr. Johnny, kill the f*cker now!”Charlie frowned and said in the calm before the storm, “Let Albert and my father-in-law go right now and I may consider sparing your life.”Cain was infuriated. “D*mn it, what

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
