The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 891
Elaine never would have expected to endure a beating and pay the price for the consequences of her actions because of the incident relating to Matilda after more than twenty years had already passed by.She initially thought that she would be able to convince Jennifer to take her side. She never would have expected Lady Wilson to subvert all of her efforts just by bringing up this matter. Instead, she was plunging into an endless abyss at this time.The few women who came up to beat her violently have all experienced a tragic history of a third party intervening in their marriage and relationship. Therefore, when they were hitting and kicking her, they brought all of their old hatred into this matter and they did not show any mercy towards Elaine at all.Elaine was in so much pain that she felt as though she was dying after she was getting beaten up again. Elaine felt as though she was going into shock a couple of times but she was woken up twice when the other inmates began to kick

Elaine nodded in a daze before she said, “Sister Jennifer, please let me have some food. Otherwise, I’m really going to die…”Jennifer sneered before she poured the rest of the porridge in the lunchbox on the ground. After that, she tapped the porridge on the ground with her toes before she sneered and said, “Do you want to eat something? If you want to eat it, then you can just lick it off the ground!”When Jennifer had asked Elaine to lick the porridge off the ground yesterday, she was very unwilling to do so.This was because Elaine felt that she could not kneel down and do such an embarrassing and humiliating thing just to get some food.However, she could not be bothered about her own face and reputation anymore. Who cared about all of that indiscretions as long as she could fill her stomach? So what if she had to kneel down and lick the porridge off the ground?Therefore, Elaine knelt down and she started to use her tongue to lick the cold porridge off the concrete floor wit

After getting taken to the police station, Elaine was immediately brought to an interrogation roomA few police officers came in before they sat down in front of her and said, “Elaine, have you thought it through seriously in the past two days? Are you ready to confess all of your crimes?”Elaine started crying as she said, “Officer, I’ve already told you that I was wronged…”The officer snorted coldly before he said, “What? Do you really think that this is the first day that we are interrogating our suspects? If we cannot catch any of your accomplices, then we will just put this entire crime on you then! If that is the case, then you will probably be shot for your crime!”As soon as Elaine heard that she might be shot, she panicked and she started pleading immediately, “Officer! I have already told you many times that the card does not belong to me!”“I simply took the bank card out of my son-in-law’s pocket. The password for my son-in-law’s bank card was his birthday. That shoul

After that, the police officer continued speaking, “Your son-in-law is a very upright and magnanimous person. He does not have any greed in him at all. As soon as he received this bank card and found out the balance in this bank card, he made a police report about this matter. We told him not to act too hastily or behave in a rush. However, you had stolen his bank card and actually gone straight to Citibank to withdraw the money!”Elaine exclaimed regretfully, “Oh! If I had known that this was the situation all along, I would not have stolen his bank card even if you killed me!”As Elaine spoke, she could not stop crying bitterly. She really did not expect to walk right into this kind of trap!It turned out that a criminal organization had stolen Charlie’s personal data, forged a bank card before sending it directly to Charlie!They simply did this to lure Charlie and tricked him into having greed for the $21.9 billion balance in the bank card!After that, Charlie would go to the

Elaine completely believed the story that the police officer had told her. What she was most worried about right now was that the police officer would continue detaining her in the detention center to prevent her from spreading any rumors or raising any false alarms. If that really happened, then she did not know when she would finally be able to regain her freedom.Elaine looked at the police officer with pleading eyes as she cried and said, “Officer, I really won’t say a word about this matter to anyone at all. Please let me go. If you continue to lock me up in the detention center, I will definitely die inside the cell…”The police officer shook his head cautiously before he said, “Elaine, I cannot believe you. After all, I have already seen plenty of people like you. On the surface, you will tell us that you will not tell anyone about this matter but as soon as we let you go, you will definitely tell people about this matter because of your big mouth.”After that, the police o

At this time, Elaine asked the police a tentative question in a low voice, “Well…officer…am I not even allowed to talk to my son-in-law about this matter in private at home?”The police officer who was playing the villain slammed his hands on the table angrily before he looked at the police officer who was playing the hero and said, “I have already told you that it is impossible to trust this stupid and foolish woman! You even wanted to release her from the detention center? Did you hear what she just said? She wants to confront Charlie about this matter! Wouldn’t she be simply ruining our case and putting her own life at risk then?”The expression on the police officer who was playing the hero’s face darkened immediately. He stared at Elaine before he replied coldly, “Elaine, you really disappoint me. I really thought that you would be able to keep this matter to yourself without saying a word about this at all. I really did not expect you to think of confronting your own son-in-law
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 897
When they saw the desperate look on Elaine’s face, the police officers quickly exchanged glances with one another. After that, the police officer who was playing the hero asked, “Elaine, we can consider letting you go but there are some issues that we would have to discuss with you first. First of all, if we really do allow you to go home today, then what are you going to tell your family if they ask you about your whereabouts for the past two days?”Elaine hurriedly replied, “I…I will tell them…for the past two days…in these two days…”Elaine hesitated for a long time without saying anything at all. This was because she did not know what to say or how she should explain things to her husband and daughter when she got home.After all, she has already disappeared for two days and two nights for no reason at all. What was even more important was the fact that there was not a single spot on her body which has not been beaten up at all.Furthermore, Elaine also lost her two front teeth

Jacob cleaned himself up and he dressed up immediately. After that, he did not even want to have breakfast at home because he was simply too anxious to go out.When Claire saw him all dressed up again, she asked him immediately, “Dad, where are you going so early in the morning?”Jacob replied cheerfully, “I have already made an appointment to meet up with your Aunt Hall. Both of us are going to visit our alma mater together today since she has not been back in Aurous Hill for more than twenty years now!”When Claire heard this, she suddenly got angry and she blurted out, “Mom has already been missing for more than two days and two nights now and there is no news on her at all. How could you still go out to hang out with Aunt Hall at a time like this? Aren’t you going to go out to help us to look for Mom at all?”“Well…” Jacob chuckled slightly before he replied in a secretive tone, “Well, aren’t you and Charlie already looking for Mom? After all, both of you are still young and it

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A

While Jacob was feeling delighted after pulling off his con, Raymond had posted details of the bronze sculpture online.The website he was using was the biggest platform for antique collectors and the antique trade where each user could set a favorite tag in the antique category and era. If a user who preferred canvas art pieces of the Tudor dynasty set that label as their favorite, they would immediately be notified with text or desktop notifications in regards to any item with the same label.As medieval bronze sculptures were rare in the first place, most who were interested had already set that label on their favorites and were immediately notified soon after Raymond posted pictures of the bronze sculpture online.The collectors were naturally eager to check it out as gilded sculptures of the medieval era were really rare, and most collectors would go a lifetime without picking one up for their collection.On top of that, the seller had even listed a major flaw and was only ask

"Nope," Jacob chuckled. "We were both working separately and just happened to get back in at the same time."Then, he immediately became smug and excited, "Guess what, dear? I made 200 thousand out of the deal! In net profits!""For real?!" Elaine gaped. "200 thousand in just one night?! That's amazing! How did you do that?"Claire was surprised to hear that too, and she came over to ask, "What deal was it, Dad?"Jacob grinned, "Oh, it's nothing to brag about. It's just that I managed to pick up a nice antique item thanks to my wisdom and then sold it for 200 thousand."Pausing, he then sighed in dismay, "However, the buyer wasn't too rich—I would have squeezed him for 400 thousand, but he couldn't afford more, so I had to settle for less."Elaine quickly exclaimed, "Shit, we're talking about a loss of 200 thousand! People would work a year and still never earn that much…"She trailed off for a moment before asking, "By the way, dear—are we still flying out first thing tomorrow?

Jacob laughed. "Put that issue behind us? Sure, but we're not becoming friends. Hell, I can't even hold a grudge now that you're shit out of luck."Then, his tone changed sharply and suddenly became icy, "But you see, Aurous Hill is not a place you can stay just because you want to. No… After this, you're not going to be able to make a living in the antique trade.""If I were you, I'd be running a thousand miles away, far away from Aurous Hill where no one would know my face to start over. That way, you just might be able to make a living."Raymond simply kept smiling, "You need not be concerned about how I'm going to survive here, Mr. Wilson. I'd be very grateful if you'd cease any form of harassment once you leave my premises."Jacob pursed his lips, staring at Raymond in disappointment. "I'm plenty magnanimous, so I won't stoop to such pettiness. Just do whatever you like!"Clicking his tongue, he huffed, "Tut, tut… And here I'd thought you're tough, but you're just yet another

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an

That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door

Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
