On the other hand, he was scared because there was only one set of the extravagant banquet menu ready in the Diamond Suite and it had already been served to these people. What should he do when the real honorable guests were here?Harold raised to his feet and shouted in dismay, “What are you doing? I reserved this suite, who do you think you are to create trouble here?”Bill pointed at Harold and asked, “You’re Harold Wilson?”Harold nodded and said proudly, “Yes, I am!”Bill commanded coldly, “Bring him to me!”Two sturdy men immediately pulled Harold out of his seat and dragged him away.“What do you think you’re doing? Let me go!”“F*ck, shut up!”One man kicked Harold’s knee and he knelt directly in front of Bill as he shrieked in pain.Bill eyed Harold from head to toe with his cold and dagger-like glare, making him shiver like a scaredy-cat.Slap!The signature bill was thrown directly at Harold’s head.Bill shouted loudly, “Who gave you the right to use this room?”

Gerald was so frightened that he shivered uncontrollably and almost pissed himself. His stuttering voice sounded, “Big Boss Bill, I’m the White family’s…”“The White family?” Bill grinned sinisterly. “What the heck? Don’t make me laugh, okay!”Bill spat disdainfully. He kicked Gerald to the ground and snarled, “The don just finished teaching an idiot from the White family a lesson yesterday, that fool was slapped by one of our guys ten thousand times in the face! You still have the nerve to mention the White family to me, huh!”“Huh?” Gerald recoiled in extreme shock.He thought that Kevin had been beaten while being robbed, but it turned out that it was actually Don Albert who had beaten him up!Just as he was still in the midst of extreme shock and terror, Bill raised the bat and slammed it down against his head!Bang!Gerald felt the world spinning around him. A buzzing voice kept humming inside his head, blood flowed from his mouth and nose, his vision was getting blurry and

Don Albert was here!Mr. Wade? Who was Mr. Wade?Albert marched into the room and pounded Bill to the floor. “You f*cking idiot, how could you not recognize Mr. Wade! I’ll f*cking kill you!”Albert cursed while kicking Bill frantically.Bill, who was so invincible and pompous earlier, was crouching on the floor yelping like a dog being beaten.Loreen was genuinely bewildered. What was going on?All the men were also panicking. Was the young man actually Mr. Wade? They had almost laid their hands on him too. They were literally digging their own graves!Albert growled at the rest of the gang, “And you fools too! What are you standing there like stupid logs? Apologize to Mr. Wade now!”“Mr. Wade, we’re so so sorry. We were a bunch of fools to not have recognized you! Please forgive us!”All the men knelt down simultaneously and apologized profusely.Bill was equally terrified. He slapped himself in the face while begging for mercy. “Mr. Wade, I’m terribly sorry, please forgive

Loreen had agreed with Doris Young of Emgrand Group to start working tomorrow.After leaving Heaven Springs, Charlie sent her back to the hotel where she was staying and then left.Loreen was still in shock from what happened at the restaurant earlier while pondering about her future prospects.She was assigned an important mission for her trip to Aurous Hill this time. From the obvious perspective, she was here for her new job at Emgrand Group, but she had a much larger hidden agenda from her family.Her father had told her that according to top secret information, the Wade family, the most prominent family in Eastcliff, had found their young master who had been missing for many years. They had even bought the entire Emgrand Group as a gift to the young master to practice and sharpen his entrepreneurship skills.In other words, the young master of the Wade family was in Aurous Hill now and he was the new chairman of Emgrand Group.In Eastcliff, which was filled with mysterious a

Doris became alert and cautious as soon as Loreen said that.Charlie had just asked her to keep an eye on Loreen the day before yesterday. As soon as Loreen reported to duty, she asked about the chairman. It seemed very odd and unusual.Doris eyed the pretty young lady and thought to herself, ‘What is your purpose of coming all the way to Emgrand Group?’She said with a smile, “Our chairman rarely comes into the office, but if he does, I’ll tell him and I’ll notify you if he wants to see you.”Loreen was a little disappointed, but she kept a smile on her face and said, “Okay, thank you, Miss Young!”As soon as Doris returned to her office, she immediately reported the matter to Charlie.Charlie became more vigilant as well when he heard that Loreen had requested to see him as soon as she reported to work.Sure enough, the lady had literally come for him.What was her purpose in approaching him?Was she trying to harm him or seduce him?Regardless of her purpose, Charlie felt

Charlie was very happy to hear his wife say so.It seemed that he had picked the best venue for their wedding anniversary. She must be so thrilled and happy on that day!They walked into the Sky Garden and sat down in the reserved seats. Soon, Loreen arrived.“Claire!”“Loreen!”The two best friends hugged each other, happiness flooding their expressions.Then, they reminisced about their past excitedly while holding hands. It took them a while until they finally calmed down from the excitement.Loreen chided, “Claire, you’re such a spendthrift. You actually booked the Sky Garden for dinner!”Claire giggled gleefully, “You’re here! Of course I’d need to spend some money!”Loreen grinned. “You’re my best friend!”“Frankly speaking, I’m not qualified to dine here. I’d asked Miss Doris Young to make the reservation for me with her membership card!”Loreen sighed. “The Sky Garden sets quite a high requirement, doesn’t it? I heard that it’s only for their Diamond members or somet

This was starting to get a little tricky.Charlie felt that he needed to talk to Isaac in advance and arrange for full protection on the day. He couldn’t reveal his identity no matter what.In the middle of the dinner, Loreen started, “Before I came to Aurous Hill, I talked to some of our collegemates about it and they suggested holding a class reunion. What do you think?”Charlie said immediately, “No thanks, I won’t attend.”“Why?” Loreen asked curiously. “Although we were not collegemates for four years, we spent a year together nonetheless!”When Charlie was taken in by Lord Wilson, he sent him to Aurous University in order to let him know Claire in advance. He and Claire spent the final year together in the same class.After graduation, they got married immediately.He didn’t build a friendship with anyone in the class. Besides, most of them looked down on him, so he wasn’t interested at all when he heard about the reunion.Claire shared the same reluctance. She said to Lo
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 47
Since Charlie had agreed to attend the class reunion, Claire reminded him, “We have to prepare some gifts for the opening of Douglas’s restaurant, we can’t go empty-handed.”Charlie nodded. “Alright, I’ll go and buy a gift from him tomorrow morning.”“Great,” Claire said, “I have to go to the Emgrand Group office tomorrow morning.”Loreen said in surprise, “Is that so? Then stop by my office when you’re done, I can carpool to Douglas’s restaurant with you at noon.”Claire smiled coyly, “Well, you can throw your wishful thinking out the window! I don’t have a car. I usually take the taxi or bus, and sometimes Charlie will fetch me with his scooter.”“What?” Loreen blurted, exasperated. “Young lady, you’re a director of a company now, why don’t you buy a car for yourself?”“I’ve just started working and haven’t made any money yet. My salary is usually used for our expenses and I have to give my mom an allowance. I’m only left with a thousand dollars or so at the end of the month an

Jacob asked, "Then, what would this sculpture be worth if it was genuine?"Mr. Cardensky thought about it. "Well, there are standards when it comes to Renaissance relics, but with something this exquisite, it'd definitely be auctionable for one or two million—and that's the conservative estimate.""How much would you sell it to me for?" Jacob then asked."Thirty percent of the market price," Mr. Cardensky quickly replied. "As I've said, the conservative estimate for this one is around one to two million, so we will set the price with the median estimate value at 1.5 million. And thirty percent means 450 grand."Jacob shook his head right away. "No, no, no… that's too expensive. What if I end up unable to sell it, on top of that?"In his mind, while he could barely accept that pricing, he still needed Raymond to be able to afford it if he wanted to swindle Raymond for twice the money.Mr. Cardensky quickly chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Montague—now you're being too serious. In this business,

"Okay!"Mr. Cardensky smiled and pointed at a nearby farmyard. "There's our workshop—the good stuff is all in there. Allow me to take you there!"The farmyard seemed uninteresting at first glance, but Mr. Cardensky soon led them to the stables and brushed off the straws covering the floor, revealing a plank laid flat on the ground.Mr. Cardensky then lifted it, revealing a passage below—they had dug a cellar into the ground beneath, with the stables as an entry point.As Jacob followed Mr. Cardensky down the cellar, he exclaimed in awe, "Your operation is definitely big, digging such a huge cellar!"Mr. Cardensky smiled humbly. "Anyone working in the business would have sustained their losses before. In the end, we're all folk of humble origins, starting out with raiding tombs or excavating artifacts. Just digging a cellar is really nothing."As they conversed, they cleared the stairs and arrived at the main hall.It was certainly a hall as it was around a hundred square meters,

Zachary nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Montague? Very well!""Yes!" Jacob grinned smugly. "Longer last names are simply better—it just sounds so authoritative."With that agreed upon, both men alighted, where the master was waiting nearby.Seeing them get off, he hurried over to them, smiling, "Please, follow me."Zachary looked around and huffed, "Honestly, Mr. Cardensky, isn't this way too far from the highway? The road is narrow and terrible, and I have to park my car all the way out here. Just coming here is taxing."Mr. Cardensky smiled in turn. "My friend, that's exactly why we picked this place. Do you remember seeing a couple of cars parked by the road, occupying half of it?""We arranged for them to be there. Anyone coming by car would have to slow down that way, buying time for us to see who they truly are. If it's cops, our watchers would quietly text us while we clean the house and bail."Zachary exclaimed in realization, "You boys really run a tight ship!""For sure," Mr.

After working in Antique Street for years, Zachary's connections and influence were naturally special. And yet, though he was acquainted with some of the more impressive individuals, he was not that close with them either.For example, the forgery masters who worked specifically to deceive experts only accepted jobs from major clients, usually antique traders high in social status and wealth.In contrast, they wouldn't ever be interested in frivolous people like Zachary. Even if he could reach them, they might not look at him twice.If one would describe them as the cartel boss, then Zachary would be a low-level enforcer, managing night joints or goofing off.But now, Zachary had turned over a new leaf—he worked under Don Albert, so one of those masters was pleasantly surprised when he called one of them, inviting him to his own workshop for a visit and further discussion.As such, Zachary picked up Jacob and went over to the master's hideout where the latter worked on his count

Zachary was naturally shrewd enough to read Jacob's intention.In reality, he wasn't offering to pay just because he wanted the profit. He merely wanted to get in Jacob's good graces. After all, wouldn't Jacob be even more grateful that he wasn't just helping his revenge but also helping him make money?As such, he didn't hesitate to tell Jacob, "Well, chief—since you'll be paying, I will make sure that you will get every cent of profit that you deserve."Jacob was grinning ear-to-ear, but he said, "Oh, you don't have to! If we really are making a profit, there's no way I would let your good work go unrewarded!"Spreading his arms, he continued generously, "How about this? I will pay the full cost while you get twenty percent of the net profit!"Zachary laughed. "Now, that can wait, chief. We need to pay as soon as we decide on the item we want, and there's no time for buyer's regret. But if Raymond doesn't take the bait, all that money will go down the drain, and whether we can s

Zachary chuckled and continued, "Well, I went to Antique Street and asked around. Turns out our mutual friend only brought a few hundred thousand grand with him. If he messes up and loses all his money, won't it be over for him?""He won't just be broke either—he'd be humiliated and forced to fuck off from Antique Street. You'd get even then!"Jacob was at once excited.Just yesterday, Claire and Charlie were warning him that assault meant doing time.As the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and the next presidential-hopeful, he would lose his place if he was charged with assault or being an accessory to a case.However, Zachary's plan was much better. Jacob wouldn't have to take responsibility, and the damage on Raymond would be even worse!In comparison, slapping Raymond meant nothing. Watching him go broke and get humiliated would really ease his heart!With that in mind, he promptly pressed Zachary, "Are you sure that prick will mess up?""I can't a

Jacob Wilson was in his office at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, planning his itinerary in Dubai.Still, he was immediately thrilled when Zachary told him that there was progress, and he quickly said, "Come see me at the Calligraphy and Painting Association. We'll talk in my office!""Alright!" Zachary agreed to it happily. "Just wait, Mr. Wilson. I'll be right there!"Jacob then quickly told him, "By the way, remember to address me as the vice president when you're here. Got it?"Zachary was naturally sharp enough to understand why, especially around other members of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.Smiling, he said, "Don't worry, chief. You can always be at ease when I'm on the job!"Once he hung up, he drove to the Calligraphy and Painting Association at top speed.There were just a dozen people around the dozens of work cubicles although Zachary was curious about the personal effects or office tools in the cubicles.After asking around, a staff member le

Then, Mick continued, "I won't lie—Moore Group's bean counters have been eager to get rid of Vintage Deluxe for a while now. It's only Miss Moore's insistence that keeps them at bay, even occasionally coming to check on how business is going. That means she holds sentiment for this place, but if she knows that Raymond is back and doing well, she might hire him again!"Zachary could laugh right then. After all, Mick was terrible at gathering information—he could worry about anyone taking his palace, but not Raymond. The man was fired because he had insulted Master Wade's father in-law, and Miss Moore was endlessly respectful—even obedient to Master Wade. There was no chance that she would hire Raymond back after what he had done, and Mick was just being paranoid.However, Zachary did not tell Mick that.As Mick was begging him to intervene and thus owing him big time, he would also be helping Jacob Wilson get even.Two birds with one stone, so why not?With that in mind, Zachar

Zachary then said, "By the way, I have some friends who have a lot of stock. How much capital do you have, Mr. Cole? I'll check if they have stuff that suits you, and you can partner with them."When Zachary asked how much capital, he was basically asking Raymond how much he would invest in his own business and how much he could spend on taking new stock as he was buying.As such, Raymond replied modestly, "I've been chasing my tail for a while, so I didn't earn more than a few hundred thousand. I definitely would have no issue taking items with rebates, but I'm afraid I can't afford premiums.""Alright!" Zachary nodded, having discerned the scale of Zachary's capital."I'll check on what's available and see if we can get a few personal deals."Raymond nodded. "Thank you, Zachary!"Zachary smiled, shaking his head. "Mr. Crane, please buy another fruit basket for Mr. Cole—I'll pay you later."Mick quickly said, "Oh, you don't have to, Mr. Evans! It's my pleasure, no worries!"Zach
