“Esme, you...”Charlie looked embarrassed.“This is a gift for you, Brother Charlie. Thank you for letting me vent my anger just now!” Esme said with a smile.Charlie helplessly shook his head and said, “Alright, I’ll take you home.” Charlie also didn’t expect Esme to act so foolishly. Kissing someone of the opposite sex isn’t something to be taken lightly.He accompanied Esme back to her house.Estella had just finished cooking. Being very grateful to Charlie, she insisted that he eat first before leaving. This thought was the same as Esme’s.Since both of them were adamant, Charlie couldn’t refuse either.As for their parents, they were working in coastal cities. So, it was just Esme and Estella at home.At the dining table,“Estella, I didn’t expect you to be such a great cook. You’re beautiful and kind. Anyone who marries you will surely be very lucky.” Charlie complimented her in between their meal.Estella, flattered by the praise, blushed, “It’s not like that. Mr. Charlie has
If Charlie stayed in this house any longer, what he feared might happen.“Brother Charlie, I still want to ask you something! Can you stay for just a little while longer?” Esme pouted, looking at Charlie with pleading eyes, hoping he could linger a bit longer.“Esme, I really have to go home! If you have any questions, please ask me next time.” Charlie smiled flatly.What Esme wanted from him, Charlie knew very well...“Esme, there are many things that Mr. Charlie still has to do. Don’t bother him!” Estella said, trying to calm Esme.Soon after, Estella turned to look at Charlie and smiled, “Mr. Charlie, I’ll walk you to the front.”Charlie nodded and followed Estella’s lead.As Charlie stepped outside, he caught a glimpse of Esme staring at him sadly.After going downstairs, Estella said, “Mr. Charlie, Esme can be very reckless. If she acts disrespectfully, please forgive her,” she said with a sincere smile.“Yes.” Charlie nodded in agreement.“Mr. Charlie, actually...”Estella sudde
After entering Silvia’s office, she said, “Honey, a few days ago, I came across a company that makes short videos. I think their videos are very innovative. They’re looking for investors, and I believe we should invest and buy some shares!”As Silvia spoke, she handed a document to Charlie. Charlie didn’t read the document; he just replied, “Go ahead if you’re sure. How much do you want to invest?”“The more shares we invest in, the higher the return if they succeed, but we also risk losing more if they fail. I think 100 or 200 billion would be enough to buy six percent of their shares,” Silvia explained briefly.“Alright. Just invest 200 billion for those six percent shares. I’ll transfer the money to you.”Charlie immediately took out his phone and transferred 200 billion to Silvia.“Will it be invested under Enigma Group?” Silvia asked.“No. Register it under a separate investment company called Axiomix Investment Corp, which will be specifically used for investments,” Charlie ans
When the guard eavesdropping outside the door heard Peter’s words, he turned around and went to report the situation to David.In the villa’s living room, Peter’s exact words on the phone while he was in the bathroom were relayed to David without missing a single word.After David listened to his guard’s report, he shook his head and sneered, “So it’s just about his mistress! Why all the secrecy? I thought it was something major!” Eleven o’clock at night.Five hundred meters outside the villa, Charlie, Dario, Edgar, Aspen, and four others were quietly observing from that distance. Alex, who was in charge of Enigma Security, was also present. “Brother Charlie, the Enigma Security team has around a thousand men. They’re ready at the perimeter. As soon as you give the command, they’ll move in immediately,” Alex said with a firm tone.Charlie nodded in understanding. “We’ve completed the preparations on this side. The most important place now is where Peter is. He needs to shut down
The expression on David’s face changed.Charlie continued speaking, “If you hadn’t fought me back then, you might not be where you are today. All of this is the consequence of your own mistakes!”“Charlie, can you let me go? As long as… as long as you are willing to let me go, I’ll give you half of my wealth, and then I’ll leave San Setillo City! How about that?” David said, his voice trembling.Although David was extremely reluctant to bow his head to Charlie and beg for mercy, it was the only option he had now.Charlie sneered, “If I had lost in the battle between the two of us, would you have let me go? I don’t think so.”Right after, Charlie turned to Edgar and said, “Edgar, Aspen, take him to the rooftop and drop him. Tomorrow’s morning paper in San Setillo City will report that the chairman of Visionary Group committed suicide because of his failed investments.”Upon hearing this, David’s expression drastically changed. His eyes radiated a mixture of anger, fear, and helplessnes
Soon after, Charlie turned his gaze to Peter.“Peter, because of you, I won’t make a big deal out of your son’s behavior. However, your son is really lacking in discipline. I hope you can teach him better in the future,” Charlie said indifferently.“Thank you, Mr. Charlie. It’s because I’ve spoiled him too much. I’ll be stricter with him from now on!” Peter bowed to Charlie.After that, Peter spoke cautiously, “Mr. Charlie, may we leave now?”“Wait a moment!”Charlie stood up and walked toward Peter.Seeing Charlie’s approach, Peter’s expression shifted slightly. He grew worried, a sense of fear rising in his mind. He feared Charlie might kill him and silence him. After all, he was a key figure under David.By now, Charlie was standing right beside him.“Mr. Charlie has promised. As long as I’m willing to cooperate, he will keep me and my son safe!” Peter thought, still speaking cautiously.Charlie smiled. “Why are you so nervous? I just want to give you this!”Charlie handed a bank
After Charlie and his grandfather’s call ended, Charlie silently calculated. The assets and resources under his control now included the San Setillo branch of Enigma Group, Enigma Security, Axiomix Corp, and Axiomix Investment Corp. He also controlled the San Fecero branches of Enigma Group and Enigma Security.The total assets in his hands amounted to no less than ten trillion! If he included undeveloped resources, such as the gold in Mount Ridge, the number would increase even further. This amount was truly unmatched in the city of San Setillo!In just a few months, Charlie had grown from nothing to this point. Besides the support from his grandfather, Charlie’s own efforts were inseparable from this achievement.Charlie turned to Alex. “Alex, there’s one more thing. You need to rename Enigma Security to Axiomix Security,” Charlie explained.“Understood!” Alex accepted the order enthusiastically. “Take over David’s territory in the coming days. There’s a lot to be done. You can go
“Of course! Of course!” Salvino could only smile and nod his head.Meline continued, “And also, you should choose your friends carefully. Take that poor guy sitting next to you. You don’t need to be friends with someone like him. He won’t be beneficial for you. Maybe in the future, he’ll be the one borrowing money from you.”After hearing this, Salvino’s face suddenly looked very displeasing. “Meline, what are you talking about?! Money can’t measure my friendship with Charlie. Do you understand?!” As Salvino said this, he stood up from his seat.Since Salvino fell in love with Greta, his friend Meline had always looked down on him. Whatever came out of her mouth always sounded unpleasant when it concerned Salvino. All this time, Salvino had tried to endure it. He felt that everything was okay as long as he and Greta loved each other. But Meline had already said something bad about Charlie. That was what made Salvino unable to remain silent.After Salvino said that, Vikus, who ha
