The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 41
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

A lot of women were envious and curious after hearing the news.Everyone was wondering who was so lucky to have a man spend millions of dollars in one night to charter the whole Sky Garden and confess his love to her!Many people were looking forward to the day to come so that they could go and have a look for themselves!In order to keep his identity secret, Charlie ordered Isaac to make a special transformation to the Sky Garden on the day of the event. At the same time, he anticipated the arrival of the day!He wanted to give Claire a once-in-a-lifetime grand wedding on their wedding anniversary!***Charlie went to the 4s shop early the next morning.He had a bank card with a balance of ten billion dollars that he hadn’t used much of yet. This time, he wanted to spend it on a luxury car for Claire that was classy and presentable.He intended to buy her a Rolls-Royce right away, but on second thought, he was worried that Claire would not accept it. First, it would not be e

Jacob wasn't really concerned with the invitation. He wouldn't be going anyway, and he wouldn't tell Elaine about it.Right now, he had a question.After hanging up on Walker, he asked curiously, "A designated driver would be just a few dozen bucks at most. Why get Walker?"Mr. Bay sighed meaningfully. "Jacob, my boy—it's not just my job description you must handle when you succeed me. You must understand the unspoken rules of the workplace as well as interpersonal relationships."Raising his right index finger, he chuckled, "Earning the loyalty of subordinates is a science. But it has to be a carrot and stick—never just the carrot, while offering them chances to be of service.""Take Walker, for example. As his boss, buying him lunch is 5 points. Ask for a favor, but it's 50 points instead!""As a leader, you should also make sure to give requests that are reasonable. That way, they will consider you to be their ally, or soon enough.""People are strange that way—psychology sim

Jacob certainly agreed with Mr. Bay. When going to a dinner where alcohol would be involved, having a designated driver would be most convenient.Still, Jacob had another plan in mind.Since he had a Cullinan and this was the perfect chance to show off, it would kill him not to drive."Actually, we should go on our own," Jacob told Mr. Bay right then. "We will take my car and get a designated driver to take us home. We can hang out in the backseat to chat—I mean, you'd be in a bad mood if you get a bad driver, bringing a car that stinks of tobacco. You know how bad it can get."Mr. Bay nodded cheerfully. "Alright! I'm counting on you!""Oh, it's only right!"Coming to an agreement, they hurried outside, with Jacob driving and Mr. Bay riding shotgun.They were having a pleasant conversation when Jacob suddenly got a call from Walker, who was his sub at Senior University.Answering with the in-car Bluetooth system, he said, "Hey, Walker. What's up?""Mr. Wilson! I'm done with cl

As such, Albert did not hesitate to say right then, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilson—since they are your friends, I will offer the half-price rebate as you've suggested! When the guests take their seats, I'll personally deliver a couple of nice bottles over as a token of my sincerity!"Oskia truly sets the bar when it comes to being humanistic.There were times when one must show due respect, but not too much either in case it changed the status quo.It was just like a couple eating out with a third-wheel.Even if the third-wheel was better off and happily took the check as the girl watched, there would inevitably be competitiveness. The generosity might even lead to the girl getting attracted to the third-wheel.As such, since Jacob was actually secondary in importance at the event, Albert would have to make sure not to rain on the host's parade while showing his respects to Jacob. Otherwise, the host may hold a grudge against Jacob even if everything was free of charge.And when it cam

Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,

Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min

Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa

As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh

The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office

On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…
