”Therefore, this isn’t something that we can decide as if we’re still teenagers. We have to think carefully and consider everything before we come up with a mature decision.”Jacob replied immediately, “I can’t accept what you’ve just said. I know that you still have feelings for me deep down in your heart and I have feelings for you too. Since we still have feelings for each other, why can’t we get through this together then?”As he spoke, Jacob forcefully asked, “Matilda, I want you to tell me the truth. Do you have any feelings for me now?”Matilda was slightly embarrassed as she replied, “How do you expect me to answer your question? After all, we were both deeply in love and we had such a good relationship back then. We were each other’s first loves and we have already been deceiving ourselves for more than twenty years now.”After that, Matilda replied, “I’ve already told you what I feel about this matter. We shouldn’t only be considering our own feelings in deciding our rela

Jacob suddenly became very emotional as they spoke about this matter.He stared right into Matilda’s eyes before he said emotionally, “Matilda, I’m not joking with you. Every word that I am saying comes from the bottom of my heart. For the past twenty over years after you left me, I have never been happy at all. Not even for a single day. We’re both already so old, so why can’t we put aside all of these scruples and focus on pursuing our love instead?”Matilda sighed faintly before she said, “Jacob, I’ve also thought about everything that you’ve just said. To be honest, I have such illusions and thoughts in my heart too. However, our current situation really isn’t the same as it used to be. The thing I hate the most in my life is a third party. Therefore, I do not wish to become a third party in anyone’s relationship. That’s all the more why we shouldn’t be so anxious and act so hastily in this matter. You should give me some time and I’ll also give you some time to think about us.”

As both of them continued talking, a burning smell suddenly spread throughout the kitchen.Matilda exclaimed, “Oh no! My stir-fried shrimp!”After that, she hurriedly pushed Jacob away and she was blushing as she ran towards the side of the stove. She looked at the pan and she suddenly wailed, “It’s over! It’s gone! The shrimp is burnt now!”Jacob hurriedly reminded her, “Turn off the fire quickly! Otherwise, it’ll get even more burnt!”Matilda hurriedly turned off the gas on the stove. The shrimp in the pan was completely burnt at this point. She could only say helplessly, “This is all your fault! The stir-fried shrimp was originally my best dish but now it is completely destroyed…”Jacob also felt very guilty and embarrassed. Therefore, he hurriedly said, “Should I go out to buy you another bag of shrimp?”At this time, both Charlie and Paul who were enjoying their tea outside also smell the burning smell coming out from the kitchen. Charlie subconsciously asked, “Do you think

The two first lovers continued working hard in the kitchen and they finally came out with a table full of dishes after more than one hour.Jacob came out and told Charlie and Paul, “Get ready! We can eat soon.”After that, Jacob asked Paul, “By the way, Paul, would you like to have a drink or two with me tonight?”Paul smiled slightly before he took out a gift box and said, “Uncle Wilson, it so happens that I’ve also brought two bottles of 30-years old Kweichow Moutai liquor. This bottle of Kweichow Moutai isn’t just any ordinary Moutai. This is the exported version of the liquor from over twenty years ago. This liquor was exported to the United States and it was kept and preserved by collectors in the United States until now. Each bottle weighs about two kilograms.”Jacob was very surprised and he said, “Thirty years aging after being exported more than twenty years ago? Wouldn’t it be more than fifty years now?”“Yes!” Paul smiled before he said, “I believe that it’s about fifty

Charlie smiled before he said, “Don’t worry. I’ll just give it my all and ask them for help. Who knows if someone will agree to help me? They are much more powerful and more capable than we are, so they’ll definitely have stronger connections and contacts than we do. Perhaps they’ll be able to figure out what happened to Mom.”Claire breathed a sigh of relief and she said gratefully, “Charlie, thank you so much for everything!”Charlie smiled as he said, “Silly girl. I’m your husband, why are you being so polite to me?”As he spoke, Charlie patted her gently on her shoulder before he said, “Let’s go down and have dinner first, okay? After dinner, I’ll go out and look for some of my friends to see if they would be willing to help me. If they aren’t willing to help me, then I’ll beg them for help. No matter what it is, I promise to bring Mom back home safely!”Claire nodded repeatedly and she felt a lot more comforted and relieved at this time.Before this, Claire always felt that s

Charlie had a very big appetite as soon as he saw all of the dishes prepared by Matilda. However, out of politeness, he did not raise his chopsticks to try the dishes immediately. Instead, he took the bottle of liquor before he poured out a few glasses of liquor.After that, he took the wine glass in his hand before he smiled and said, “Aunt Hall and Paul, I would like to welcome you back to Oskia and Aurous Hill. I would also like to give you a warm welcome here in our house as our guest. Let’s enjoy a drink together today.”Jacob also hurriedly said, “That’s right! Let’s enjoy a drink together today!”Matilda picked up her wine glass before she said sincerely, “I really appreciate your kindness and hospitality towards my son and I. I really did not expect to be able to enjoy a home-cooked meal at my old classmate’s house on the first day that I’ve returned to Aurous Hill. I really want to thank you for this opportunity.”Jacob smiled before he said, “Matilda, we’ve been old class

At this time, Matilda gave Claire some steamed fish in vinegar sauce before she smiled and said, “Claire, why don’t you try the fish? This is also one of my specialty dishes. However, I’ve not cooked this in a long time so I’m not sure if it will suit your appetite.”When Claire saw Matilda enthusiastically placing the fish in her bowl, Claire nodded slightly in order not to hurt her feelings. After that, she said, “Thank you, Aunt Hall. You don’t have to keep giving me food. You should eat first.”Matilda nodded before she smiled and said, “Alright then. Make sure that you eat more today. If you can’t reach any dishes, ask Charlie to take some food for you then.”Claire nodded immediately. After that, she tasted the fish that Matilda had placed in her bowl. Claire could not help but marvel in shock as soon as she tasted the fish.Matilda’s cooking was really delicious and amazing. The fish was soft, chewy, and very fragrant.Jacob was also dumbfounded.He has never eaten such de
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 885
Since Matilda’s cooking skills were so amazing, everyone really enjoyed the meal tonight.Although Claire was somewhat dissatisfied with Matilda and felt a little repulsed by her, she did not have the ability to resist her delicious cooking at all. She would usually pay close attention to her diet but she actually ate three times the usual amount of food that she usually ate tonight.This was also the same case for Charlie and his father-in-law, Jacob. Both of them ate to their heart’s content and they finished up almost all of the food on the table.After he was done with his meal, Jacob secretly put his hand under the table to loosen his belt so that he could temporarily relieve his bulging stomach.At the same time, Jacob could not help but secretly thought to himself: “Matilda is really the most perfect woman in every aspect. It would be great if I could really divorce Elaine and get together with Matilda instead. I’d definitely be ascending from the eighteenth level of hell

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
