The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 252
Who would have known that Lady Wilson was just a believer in Buddhism on the surface, but she was actually an extremely greedy and shameless person within!At that time, he would have been willing to kneel down in front of anyone if that person offered to give him one million dollars.No one can resist the attraction of money when they are in need.Those who are able to really treat money as dirt are those people who have more than enough money to spend.What was ten or twenty million dollars to Charlie now? He had tens of billions of dollars in his bank account and Emgrand Group made tens of billions of dollars in profits every year. He did not know what else he could spend his money on anymore.Therefore, what was the point of him accepting the twenty million dollars from them now? He would rather not take the money, but instead allow them to pay homage to him and to treat him as their benefactor just so they would show him more respect in the future.That was what he really wa

Jasmine returned to the Moore family mansion after sending Charlie home that night.Lord Moore did not listen to Charlie’s instructions to rest in bed. Instead, he was sitting in the living room at this time as he spoke to Jasmine’s father and uncle who were reporting the entire family situation to Lord Moore at this time.As soon as he saw Jasmine arriving back at the Moore family mansion, Lord Moore waved his hand before he said, “Jasmine! I’ve been waiting for you to come home!”“Grandpa!” Jasmine replied in a respectful manner before she asked, “Why are you waiting for me?”At this time, Lord Moore replied, “You were the one who invited Mr. Wade here today, weren’t you? Can you give me a detailed account of how you met him?”“Okay, Grandpa!”Jasmine hurriedly explained herself. “Mr. Wade and I met by chance at Vintage Deluxe. At that time, Mr. Wade was with his father-in-law…”“Father-in-law?” Lord Moore asked as he frowned immediately. “Mr. Wade is already married?”“Yes.”

Jasmine hurriedly replied, “Grandpa, please tell me what you want me to do!”Lord Moore suddenly said, “I want you to make Mr. Wade the son-in-law of the Moore family!”“What?” Everyone present in the living room, including Jasmine, could only stare at Lord Moore in shock.At this time, Jasmine felt a burst of excitement in her heart.However, she was still very cautious and she said, “Grandpa, Mr. Wade…is already married.”“So what?” the old man replied in a firm manner. “I don’t care if he’s already married or if he has many wives or mistresses. Even if he has a lot of children, we’ll have to win him over! I want to have a son-in-law like him. If he is the son-in-law of the Moore family, then the Moore family business will definitely increase exponentially and we’ll also be able to rise up the ranks among the other powerful and prestigious families. The Moore family will finally have the opportunity to become one of the most powerful families in the country!”Jasmine hesitated

Claire was very puzzled when she heard her mother persuading her to return to work for Wilson Group again. Therefore, she could only ask her mother, “Mom, what kind of ecstasy did Grandma feed you? Why are you always forcing me to go back to work for Wilson Group?”Elaine was very anxious at this time and she quickly replied, “If you work for Wilson Group, you’ll be getting a fixed annual salary. Isn’t that better than starting your own business? What if you lose all of your money because you chose to start your own business? What should your father and I do, then?”Claire replied in a firm manner, “Mom, stop trying to force me! I’m never going to return to work for Wilson Group. Even if I have to beg for food on the streets, I would never return to work for Wilson Group in this lifetime! I might have to beg for food but I’ll never lose my own pride or dignity!”Elaine glared at Claire before she said, “Are you doing all just to preserve your own pride or dignity?”After Elaine was

If that was the case, she would not even have the opportunity to live in the villa that Zeke had given to Charlie after the renovation was completed.Elaine gave in immediately when she thought about this.At this time, she could only sigh before she said, “Okay, I’ll choose to be supportive of you, then. I won’t mention Wilson Group anymore, okay?”Claire was finally satisfied and she nodded before she said, “Alright then, we won’t move out, then.”Charlie could not stop himself from showing a thumbs up gesture at Claire when he witnessed her showdown with her mother.His wife was really incredible. Even though it was not apparent, Claire was always very effective at handling all the critical moments.Jacob did not say anything so far but when he saw his daughter who rarely lost her temper finally getting angry and frustrated, he came forward and said, “Look! Why should you be fighting? Isn’t it good for the family to be harmonious and happy?”Elaine glared at Jacob with a shar

When Jacob said this, everyone looked at him with an incredulous expression on their faces.Elaine asked Jacob in surprise, “Are you telling me that someone wants to spend three hundred thousand dollars for this tattered thing? I don’t think that you’ll even be able to sell it for fifty dollars!”Jacob replied in a triumphant manner, “Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, why don’t you take a look at my message history?”As soon as he said this, Jacob took out his cell phone before he opened his text message and clicked on a voice note sent to him by someone called Zachary.Zachary’s voice sounded over the phone at this time. “Uncle Jacob, you’ve got a very good pen holder in your hands! I do think the pen holder is really from the Qing Dynasty! Why don’t you sell the pen holder to me instead? I’ll give you three hundred thousand dollars for it!”Elaine was very surprised and she quickly said, “Oh my god! You were telling us the truth! Jacob, you’re incredible. You boug

“Okay, I’ll drive.”The couple drove to Antique Street together.Since it was the weekend, there were many people at Antique Street.Zachary had already opened his stall for a long time on Antique Street. Therefore, he has his own permanent booth on the street. Charlie could find him as soon as he entered the Antique Street.At this time, Zachary was holding a fake jade pendant in his hand as he was bragging to a foreign couple. “I am telling you that this jade pendant was worn by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty before he passed it to his grandson and the generation after that. After many twists and turns, the jade pendant finally fell in my hands…”“Is it really that valuable?” the middle-aged man asked in surprise. “How much does this jade pendant cost?”Zachary grinned before he replied, “Since we’re fated to meet today, I’ll sell this jade pendant to you for just one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. After leaving Antique Street, you can actually sell this jade pendant to

Charlie nodded in satisfaction when he saw how obedient Zachary was.In fact, Zachary was a very clever man and he would definitely be useful to Charlie in the future since he is indeed very capable and full of ideas.After that, Charlie told him, “Zachary, I’ll definitely treat you well if I’m satisfied with your behaviour.”Zachary hurriedly clasped his fists together before he said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I’ll definitely make sure you’re satisfied!”Charlie could not help but smile at Zachary’s flattery. “Do you know that I really feel like hitting you because of how shameless you look right now?”Zachary laughed before he said, “Mr. Wade, I know how ugly my face is but you should also know that money is never ugly!”After that, Zachary took out a black box from under the seat before he handed it over to Charlie. “Mr. Wade, this is the three hundred thousand dollars in cash that I’m supposed to give your father-in-law. Please check if the amount is correct.”Charlie waved hi

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

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
