Claire quickly said, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Lewis. Charlie and I are doing great.”Then, she blushed and said apologetically, “Mrs. Lewis, I’m sorry for not being able to visit you in Eastcliff. I wouldn’t even have known that you had recovered and were back to Aurous Hill if Charlie hadn’t told me. I’m terribly sorry…”“Oh no, please don’t, honey. You guys have helped so much. You took care of me in the hospital when I was seriously ill. I may have already died from the illness if it weren’t for you two helping me with the bills…”Mrs. Lewis’ eyes reddened with tears and she choked up, “I’m ever so thankful to you, Claire. You had to take care of the Wilson family affairs as well as me, it must have been very hard on you. I feel very thankful and guilty at the same time. I’m a burden to both of you. It should be me who says sorry!”Claire grabbed her hands tight and said, “Mrs. Lewis, don’t forget that I am Charlie’s wife! You are his fairy godmother, which means you are my fairy godm

At this moment, as Stephanie locked her gaze on Claire, there was a dash of jealousy and anguish in her eyes.She had liked Charlie ever since she was a child and always dreamed of being Charlie’s bride. She hadn’t forgotten this dream, but from the looks of it, her dream could never come true.That was why she envied Claire even more. In her opinion, Claire was the happiest woman in the world because she had married the best man in the world.Mrs. Lewis smiled gently and said, “Yes, building your career is important, but so is family. It’s better to have a baby when you are young, as it will affect your health otherwise.”Claire nodded, her blushing face as red as an apple.Stephanie then said apologetically, “Mrs. Lewis, the owner of the restaurant just called, he said that there was a problem with their electricity in the restaurant, so they had to close for business today. Looks like we have to find another place to eat.”Mrs. Lewis said with a motherly smile, “It doesn’t mat

Mrs. Lewis hurriedly interjected, “Max, I can understand your kind intention, but we don’t have to go to such a high-end place just to celebrate my recovery. It’s too expensive!”She continued, “Besides, it’s just a meal. I can cook for you guys, let’s just eat in the orphanage. This way, you can save your money for other purposes. Don’t spend it on me, it’s not worth it…”She had been thrifty and frugal her entire life that she had never been to such a luxurious place before. Moreover, she would feel awkward and uneasy to dine at a place that would cost so much money.However, Max smiled and said, “Mrs. Lewis, please don’t say that. You literally brought us up, it’s about time for us to repay your favor. Besides, I’m not the only one to cover the bill, I’ll share it with them!”Seeing Mrs. Lewis’s hesitation, he persuaded, “Mrs. Lewis, don’t worry, it won’t be too expensive. The Hyatt Hotel is my company’s client, I can get some discounts on my visit, so it will cost them only a f

The BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Series were quite equivalent in their range, but Max knew very well that Charlie’s BMW 520 was the lowest model in the 5 Series, while his Merc E300L was closer to the most premium model in the E-Class Series. There were also the E260 and E200 models below him.In other words, Charlie’s BMW 520 was of the same grade as the Merc E200, while his E300L was more advanced than his car in terms of its performance.He grinned coyly and said, “Hey, Charlie, I don’t want to condemn you, but you are being so vain. Experts have said that you must never buy the cheapest and lowest model in the series. Why did you buy this lousy beggar version 520 instead of the better model with the higher-spec in the 3 Series? Are you trying to show off?”Some asked curiously, “Max, what is the beggar version?”Max answered with a smug smile, “The beggar version means the car with the lowest specs in the series, the entry-level, the basic of them all.”Everyone

“No can do!” Max shouted. When he saw Charlie start to back off, he jumped on him instead and said in a loud voice, “Guys, you heard him, right? You said it yourself, Charlie, ‘Hamilton can win because he is Hamilton, not because he has the best cars’. If so, let’s race and see if you really deserve the Schumacher nickname..”Charlie waved his hands timidly and said, “Hey, Max, just forget about the whole thing. We are not even at the same level, it’s not fair.”It truly wasn’t fair. A BMW 760 vs a Merc E300L was like sending a wolf after a Husky.Max assumed that Charlie was trying to talk him out of the race because he was scared, so he teased again, “Charlie, you were showing off just now, why have you become such a coward suddenly? Can't you man up in front of your wife?”Charlie replied, pretending to be annoyed, “Hey, Max, don’t say that. We’re childhood friends, why must you be so aggressive toward me? Yeah, you drive a great car, stop bragging about it! Do you think you can

Max said, “Mrs. Lewis, please stay out of it, this is between Charlie and me. Besides, no matter who wins or loses today, the orphanage is the biggest winner. The resale value of my car is about four hundred grand, Charlie’s car is slightly cheaper, around two or three hundred grand. You can use the money to improve the facilities and buy things for the children in the orphanage.”Charlie said with a warm smile, “Mrs. Lewis, don’t you worry about us, Max and I will handle it personally.”Mrs. Lewis was actually afraid that Charlie was at the losing end of the stick, however, looking at Charlie’s confident smile, she felt that it was not as simple as she thought.Frankly, while she was receiving treatment in Eastcliff, she noticed something strange and peculiar.Firstly, she noticed that the doctors in the hospital were very polite and respectful toward her, almost as though she was a VIP patient.When she was in the hospital, a famous celebrity had come to Fairview Hospital to see

The nosy guys cheered delightfully and hopped into the car, but since they only had two cars there, the rest had to take a taxi to Hyatt Hotel.Charlie got into the BMW 760. Claire sat in the front passenger seat while Mrs. Lewis, Stephanie, and Harvey sat in the back.Charlie said after starting the car, “Guys, sit tight. Later when I reach the straight road ahead, I can win the race with just a step on the accelerator.” Then, he looked at Mrs. Lewis and said, “Mrs. Lewis, please hold on to the handrails. Once I accelerate, I will win a Mercedes-Benz for the orphanage! You can sell it for three hundred thousand dollars, then use the money to buy toys and books for the children!”Mrs. Lewis nodded with a gentle smile. “I thank you on behalf of our children!”Meanwhile, five people were inside Max’s car, all of whom were his lackeys.Max drove and stopped beside Charlie’s car, wound down the window, and said with a smirk, “Hey, buddy, whenever you’re ready, man! I’ll give you a t

If he really went back on his words, he would be a laughingstock forever!However, he didn’t want to give away his brand new car to the orphanage!For an instant, he even thought that he would simply drive away, skip the dinner, and never interact with his orphanage friends again in the future!Something struck his mind again and he had a change of plans. He shifted to the right lane swiftly and tailgated the car in front of him!Max had the perfect plan laid out in his mind, and that was to stage a car accident! That way, the race would be forfeited due to unexpected circumstances, so he would not lose!Thus, he eyed the cars on the road, searching for a scapegoat.At this moment, the guy in the front passenger seat yelped in horror, “Max! Max! You’re going to hit the car! You’re going to hit it!”Max smirked and thought, ‘Yeah, I want to hit it!’However, as he got closer and closer, he realized that it was a black Porsche Cayenne. He stepped on the brakes immediately!A Por

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6563
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
