The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 145
Graham arrived at Charlie’s house early the next morning.He waited outside Charlie’s house until Charlie finally stepped out of the house as he headed to the market to buy some vegetables. After that, Graham greeted him before he handed his black card over to Charlie.At this time, Graham told Charlie that there were more than a few hundred million dollars in the black card. It seemed as though Graham was really willing to spend all of his fortune to save the Quinton family.Aurora had accompanied Graham but this time, she was not as arrogant and haughty as she had previously been.In fact, she was very respectful towards Charlie.Ever since Adam got into trouble, the Quinton family had encountered a lot of strange and unpredictable events. Her grandfather had also fallen ill and his body was deteriorating for no reason at all. Aurora knew that Charlie was the only one who would be able to save her family!After handing the black card over to Charlie, Graham knelt down in front

Early the next morning, Charlie prepared to attend the auction.Jacob could not sleep well the previous night because he was so worried about the matter related to the Quinton family. Therefore, he continued nagging at Charlie in the living room.At this time, Charlie asked Jacob, “Dad, I heard about the special treasure that will be up for auction at the Treasure Pavilion today. Am I right?”“Yes,” Jacob replied immediately. “I’ve heard that it’s a valuable treasure that is unparalleled in this world.”After he was done speaking, Jacob suddenly thought of something. After that, he quickly pulled Charlie aside before he said, “My dear son-in-law, please don’t get any ideas about this treasure. The starting price for this treasure is ten million dollars! We should just take a look at the treasure from afar.”Charlie knew that his father-in-law was simply worried that he would be using the Quinton family’s money for his own purposes. Therefore, he smiled before he replied, “Dad, don

Shortly after, they finally arrived at the exhibition center.The exhibition center was a building with a circular dome. The outer circle was filled with shops selling all sorts of different goods from flowers to birds and the auction house was located at the center.The exhibition center was built last year and it looked absolutely magnificent.Charlie followed Jasmine into the glass elevator as they headed to the sixth floor.As soon as the elevator door opened, an artistic exhibition hall with various antique calligraphy and paintings hung on the walls suddenly appeared in front of them. This was the auction house.The auction table was placed right in front atop a red carpet. There were numerous sofas below the stage and the tables were filled with wines and fresh fruits for the enjoyment of the guests.As compared to the last auction, it seemed as though Treasure Pavilion had put in a lot of effort to the auction this time. It had probably cost them more than one million dol

At this time, Jasmine felt a little awkward as she said, “Mr. Wade, please don’t take it to heart. Mr. Yaleman has a rather short fuse.”Charlie shook his head indifferently before he said, “Let’s head inside now.”The guests entered the venue one after the other. The host was none other than Finn Baxendale, the owner of Treasure Pavilion. He went on stage and gave a routine speech to start the auction section.After that, the auction officially began!Due to the sudden cancellation of the last auction, there were twice as many guests present at the auction today.The first item that was placed on stage, courtesy of two ladies, was an antique copper incense burner covered in white mist and a fragrant smell.At this time, the auctioneer introduced the first item. “This is a Reverse Incense Burner, which is one of the treasures used by the king in the past. No one was allowed to use it without authorization from the king himself. Moreover, the production method for this incense bur

Adam had led a very miserable life for the past few days.After getting into trouble a few days ago, he had been severely beaten up by his second uncle. Moreover, his uncle also banned him from leaving the house,However, due to his extreme love for antiques, it was impossible for him to miss out on this auction.Therefore, he tried his best to escape the house before he participated in the auction today. However, he did not expect to see Charlie here today.He had always been very disdainful and doubtful of Charlie’s skills. In his opinion, his second uncle had been completely deceived by this young man.However, he did not dare to provoke Charlie face to face. When he saw Charlie making a bid for the pearl necklace, he made a bid immediately because he wanted to challenge Charlie.At this time, Charlie glanced at Adam before he turned around and faced the auctioneer again. After that, he continued his bid. “Seven hundred thousand dollars!”Adam followed in his footsteps. “Eigh

The naturally formed jade contained a certain amount of spiritual energy. Charlie felt that this was the perfect item for Graham to expel the evil spirit from his home. Therefore, he raised his hand immediately.“Nine hundred thousand dollars!”As soon as his voice fell, the familiar voice sounded again.“One million dollars!”Charlie turned around and he met Adam’s provocative eyes immediately.Charlie did not say anything but he continued raising his hand.“One million one hundred thousand dollars!”“One million two hundred thousand dollars!”After bidding several times, the price of the jade had already doubled and under Adam’s deliberate bidding, the price of the jade soared to two million dollars!Everyone in the auction hall knew that Adam had deliberately raised the price of the jade because he wanted to provoke Charlie.Therefore, everyone was waiting to watch another good show as they watched Charlie raise his hand again.At this time, Charlie slowly raised his hand

Everyone was watching Adam at this time. He hesitated for a moment before he finally decided that reason defeated impulse.He said in a furious manner, “I give up!”“Ha!”“Lousy!”“What a shame!”“Such an embarrassment!”Everyone continued scolding and making fun of Adam as they laughed at him. Adam was left embarrassed and he did not know where else to hide his face.He regretted his actions. He regretted coming out today. Otherwise, he would not have been so embarrassed.Adam was very angry as he felt very embarrassed at this time. After a short while, Adam turned around and he was even angrier when he saw Charlie laughing at him.At this time, he could not stop himself from rushing over to Charlie immediately.“The one with the last name Wade! Are you doing this on purpose?”Charlie picked up the glass of wine from the table before he took a sip and said, “No one forced you to bid against me. You wanted to bid against me, so why are you mad at me now?”Jasmine also spoke

The crowd started bidding and very soon, the price of the clam increased to twelve million dollars.Many people stopped bidding as soon as the price exceeded their limit. However, the people who knew the value of the clam continued bidding for it.At this time, Jack suddenly stood up before he said, “I bid fifteen million dollars for it!”After that, he turned around before he bowed and said, “Dear friends, the reason why I am here at the auction today is because of this clam. Therefore, I hope everyone will give up on bidding for this item so I can bring it home with me today. I will give everyone here today a peace talisman as a token of my gratitude.”Most of the guests who were present today were bosses and businessmen who knew of Jack’s reputation. No one dared to offend him.If he was unhappy, he could probably do something that would cost the other party his entire fortune or family!Besides that, he would also be giving out a peace talisman worth two hundred thousand doll

Charlie hadn't thought about that and was therefore surprised.When he returned from the States, the Ackers were just planning to found a new automotive brand powered by new energy.And they were ready to acquire one now?With that in mind, he quickly asked, "Uncle Kaeden, do you mean to say that you've already acquired one?""Yes," Kaeden nodded. "There's this company having trouble with capital, and their founding directors were looking for financiers wherever they could reach. I bumped into their CEO in Eastcliff by chance myself and discussed it with Christian—we both decided to acquire it for 3 billion USD since it's really not that much."Charlie nodded—3 billion really wasn't much, even for himself, let alone the Ackers.That was when Yolden couldn't resist asking, "Mr. Kaeden, could you perhaps be referring to Godot Autos?""Why, yes," Kaeden replied, surprised. "Are you perhaps familiar with them?"Yolden nodded. "I have heard of them and that they were in trouble with

Charlie smiled. "All is well. Aurous Hill is a safe place."And with that, he introduced Yolden to his maternal grandparents, who were enthusiastic to learn that he was a classmate of Ashley's.As the family invited Yolden to take his seat, Keith told his sons, "Be sure to make our guest feel at home—the professor was your sister's old friend, after all."Then, turning to Yolden, he said, "Do drink more if you can, but feel free to refuse if you can't. We're not that strict with drinking around here."Yolden could stomach his alcohol despite rarely drinking, and he did not hesitate to agree to drink with them, seeing that it was a pleasant evening for the Ackers.Keith then turned to Charlie, "You drink too, boy. Just ask your aunt to drive you home later."Charlie smiled. "It's alright, Gramps. Everyone on this hill is a friend—I'll ask Don Albert to send a car."Keith laughed heartily. "Wonderful! I shall drink with you too!""Really?" Holly quickly interrupted. "Did you get

Yolden didn't go into detail despite apologizing, as he was sure the Ackers would understand, so he didn't have to rub it in twice.However, it had been twenty years since Ashley's passing, and they certainly could take a brief mention in stride. That was why none of them found it offensive, especially since Ashley and Yolden were good friends and classmates.Charlie was just going to introduce Yolden, and so he said, "Yolden, I'm sure you recognize Uncle Kaeden? He often makes public appearances."Yolden nodded. "Yes, it's only natural. Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Acker!"Kaeden politely replied. "You flatter me, Professor Hart."After a brief handshake, Charlie moved on to the others and was surprised when he arrived at Merlin as Yolden spoke before he could, "This must be Chief Merlin Lammy, pride of the Oskians! I've seen your interviews and articles, and I really admire you!"Merlin smiled humbly. "I'm just a police chief—nothing to be proud about. The rest of you have

Yolden was inwardly relieved, hearing that Charlie really didn't mind revealing himself to his future wife and stepson. He had led a down-to-earth life and earnestly loved Matilda and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.That was why he hoped that whenever they mentioned Charlie, Matilda wouldn't merely think of Jacob Wilson's son-in-law, who had coincidentally met some locally influential figures through his feng shui business.He was rather bad at pretending and even worse at lying.Still, he would have understood and respected Charlie's decision if the latter had refused, and he was therefore surprised Charlie had agreed to it so easily.Naturally, he was not aware that Charlie intended to take his new family under his wing and was happily riding shotgun as Charlie drove up to the Champ Elys villa.Keith Acker and the rest of his family were already there waiting, and Charlie's three uncles, aunt, and Merlin were outside to receive them.Keith and Holly would have

Yolden then asked, "By the way, there's something I'd like your opinion for.""Do tell," Charlie replied politely."Autumn and I know who you really are," Yolden said. "But that's not the case for Matilda or Paul… Well, Paul's smart, so even if he had no idea who you are specifically, he'd still have a hunch that you're someone incredibly wise and influential. That's why he really respects and worships you."Pausing, he then continued, "Well, now that Matilda and I are going to start a new family, I hope that I can be honest with her in every way possible as her husband. However, I still think I should ask about your opinion when it comes to your identity, so if you think I can tell Paul and Matilda, I'll find a time to tell them. But if you think I shouldn't, Autumn and I will understand and respect that."Charlie was actually surprised that Yolden would ask permission over something like that, and it made him even more sure about Yolden's personality.When it comes to the reall

Charlie chuckled. "Don't sell yourself short, Mr. Hart. There are plenty of business folk who got so used to their comfort zone that they became caught in the illusion that they can be successful in anything they do. It's a mindset that leads to them blindly developing new projects and new competition, and then they end up losing big."If memory serves, there have been real estate businesses that started mineral water brands, search engines that tried the car industry, e-commerce sites attempting social media, and vice-versa. All of them are multi-billion-dollar companies venturing into new frontiers, but all to unimpressive outcomes."Pausing, Charlie then continued, "You've mentioned rising above the competition amidst the development of the new energy industry. That would get anyone's attention, and it is why I believe that you definitely will make a strong impression with your strategizing and knowledge of the basic principles."Yolden found it hard to refuse, seeing that Charli

Having lost it all, Jacob really looked like he wouldn't be getting back up.But fortunately, he had a pillar in the form of Elaine.In fact, Elaine would serve to be a container, whipping Jacob into shape if he got too full of himself.But on the other hand, now that Jacob was utterly despondent, she would be forcing him to smile and function in general.Elaine's attitude to the entire issue was clear as well. Even though Jacob had just lost his job, she would make him go shopping with her in Dubai even if he fell into a coma. Even if he was dead, she'd just cremate him and bring his ashes along.Hence, with Elaine's firm grip around Jacob's leash, he went on strolls, going shopping and taking selfies with Elaine everyday, eventually easing the toll on his mood and spirit.-Back at Aurous Hill, Charlie was preparing for Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall's wedding as it approached.Yolden was a schoolmate of his mother, Ashley Layna Acker, as well as Charlie's elder.And while Cha

"See you." As soon as Charlie hung up on Matilda, Don Albert's call came right after.He sounded nervous as Charlie answered the phone, saying, "Master Wade, I think I might have gone too far…""Wait, what's this about?" Charlie asked."Your father-in-law, of course…" Don Albert sighed. "You asked me to leave him hanging for a while, so I did. I even refused when he asked to book a room in Heaven Springs.""Well, that's not a problem, is it?" Charlie shrugged. "He and Zachary ganged up for some real mischief. As you are Zachary's boss, it's right that you refused him because you didn't appreciate what he did.""That's just it. I thought that approach was just right as well," Don Albert quickly said. "I wasn't playing nice when Mr. Bay of the Calligraphy and Painting Association called me either. That's when he said he'd try to save Jacob's position as vice-president, but I told him it's none of my business."I then hung up on him without much thought, only for Zachary to tell m

Meanwhile, Charlie was downstairs in Claire's office, waiting to pick her up and head home.That was when Matilda called him, asking as soon as he answered, "Charlie, do you know how Jacob is doing? He never answered any of my texts—is he going to be alright?""I wouldn't know," Charlie replied. "Both he and Elaine are in Dubai on a trip… What's wrong?""He resigned," Matilda sighed. "I only saw the public statement that the Calligraphy and Painting Association posted this afternoon. It says that he tendered the resignation himself, but it doesn't really feel that way. I wonder if he's at odds with other members of the association…"Charlie was actually surprised to hear that Jacob had resigned.He had told Zachary to expose the truth of the bronze sculpture fraud case to teach Jacob a lesson so that Jacob would understand the meaning of true pain.However, he anticipated that Mr. Bay would at least keep Jacob around with an unimportant job even if Jacob did lose some money and e
