The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 426
Mr. Hicks quickly handed his cell phone over to Albert before he said, “Don Albert, Chairman Cameron is looking for you.”As soon as Albert picked up the cell phone, Isaac reprimanded him over the phone immediately, “Don Albert, what is the matter with you? Who gave you the right to make trouble on my territory? Are you trying to go against me now? Aren’t you being a little too arrogant?!”At this time, Albert earnestly replied, “Chairman Cameron, I am not the one causing trouble here. In fact, Marcus was the one who offended Mr. Wade, and your manager, Mr. Hicks, was the one who wanted to help Marcus teach Mr. Wade a lesson! So, what do you think of this matter, then?”Isaac blurted out immediately, “Mr. Wade? Are you talking about Mr. Charlie Wade?”“Of course I’m talking about him. Which other Mr. Wade would I be talking about?” Albert asked as he laughed.Isaac was shocked!Unexpectedly, a dog under his hand had just bitten its owner!D*mn it!Therefore, Isaac quickly said,

When Albert saw that Charlie was already losing his patience, he hurriedly waved his hands and instructed his men, “Beat him up now!”A group of strong men rushed forward immediately before surrounding Mr. Hicks, and they started punching and kicking him. They only stopped when he had already been beaten almost half dead.Mr. Hicks lay on the ground as he cried out in pain. However, the worst had yet to come. At this time, Albert suddenly said coldly, “I will give you half a day to leave Aurous Hill. If I still see you loitering around Aurous Hill tomorrow, I will kill you with my bare hands!”The dying Mr. Hicks coughed weakly before saying, “Don Albert, please have mercy on me and give me two days of grace at least. Let me treat my injuries before I leave…”“You can go to the next province to receive treatment instead!” Albert replied icily. “Call your family and ask them to hire an ambulance to take you away. Make sure that you stay away from Aurous Hill from now on! If you die,

When Charlie saw this scene unfolding before him, he knew that only the two beautiful women could look at and appreciate one another. He felt that there was no hope for him anymore.Therefore, Charlie went into the other room and changed into the shorts that he had brought with him today.Since Charlie changed into his shorts relatively quickly, the two women had still not come out of their bedrooms after he came out of his room.He then headed out into the courtyard first before slowly entering the huge hot spring pool.Charlie could not help but let out a huge sigh of relief as the warm water gradually covered his body.After a short while, he heard the sounds of footsteps approaching him. Claire and Loreen had already changed into their swimsuits and were walking toward the yard at this time.Charlie raised his head to look at both of them and his eyes lit up immediately.The swimsuit that Claire was wearing was slightly conservative, but it also outlined her perfect figure,

Charlie had a calm expression on his face as he faced Loreen’s sudden confession. He merely replied, “We just happened to meet a few scumbags, and that is why I decided to teach them a lesson. Don’t take it to heart.”Loreen replied seriously, “No matter what it is, I would really like to thank you!”After that, Loreen sat down beside Charlie and quickly stretched out her hands as she hugged him in her arms.Both of them were wearing very little clothes, and Charlie could instantly feel Loreen’s smooth and tender skin rubbing against him.Charlie’s body tightened immediately and he quickly said, “Loreen, don’t do this. I don’t want Claire to see us acting like this.”Loreen chuckled before she asked, “Does that mean I can hug you and do whatever I want if Claire cannot see us?”“That’s not what I mean…” Charlie replied helplessly.Loreen hugged him a little tighter before she said stubbornly, “I want to hug you, and it would be best if Claire could see us acting like this now. A

Charlie was completely at a loss for words at this time. What did Loreen mean? Was she willing to become his mistress and underground lover just because of him?Still, how could he possibly agree to this kind of request?First of all, his feelings for Claire were real, and he was really sincere toward her. Even though Claire had been initially dissatisfied with her grandfather’s arrangement, she finally agreed to marry Charlie although her whole family was laughing and ridiculing her for her decision. Of course, Claire had never looked down on him before.Furthermore, when the auntie who had taken care of him in the orphanage fell ill, Claire was the one who lent him the money so that he could pay for her medical expenses. Charlie would never be able to forget Claire’s kindness.So, how could he possibly agree to let Loreen become his lover?At this time, Claire, who was fast asleep, suddenly moved a little.Charlie was startled and quickly pushed Loreen out of his arms.Loreen

As Charlie, his wife, and Loreen were bathing in the hot spring pool, Marcus, who had had the words ‘pathetic jerk’ engraved on his forehead and his plastic girlfriend who now had a crooked nose had hitched a ride in a dilapidated van back to the city.At this time, Marcus, who was sitting inside the van, kept his bloodied forehead covered out of fear that the van driver would see the words engraved on his forehead.Both of them had stopped the van on the way out of the Champs Elys Spa Resort. They had negotiated with the van driver and come to an agreement that the van driver would send both of them home for two hundred dollars. Right now, all Marcus wanted was to get home as soon as possible. He did not want any more trouble!However, the van driver could see the blood that was oozing out of Marcus’s forehead from the rearview mirror.After observing him for a long time, he could not help but ask in surprise, “Young man, are you hurt?”Marcus replied angrily, “This has nothing t

The police officer replied coldly, “Okay, then. You are insulting a law enforcement officer now! That means that you are blatantly resisting the law! Don’t blame us for taking actions against you, then!”As soon as he had finished talking, the police officer took out his pepper spray and aimed it directly at Marcus’s face before spraying it on the latter’s face.Marcus could feel the burning pain in his eyes at this time, and he subconsciously reached out his hand to rub his eyes, completely forgetting that as soon as he removed his hands, the two bloodied words that were engraved on his forehead would be instantly exposed.“Oh, my God…” One of the police officers exclaimed out loud. “Just look at him! He has some words engraved on his forehead!”“What kind of tattoo is that? That’s really very hardcore!”“Hahaha! It’s no wonder why this young kid likes to call other people a pathetic jerk. It is simply because he has the words ‘pathetic jerk’ engraved on his forehead!”When Marc

Harold was also slowly losing his temper.What the hell was this?He had seen Marcus being handcuffed at the side of the road by the police officers. That was the reason why he decided to come over to say hello to him. However, he did not expect this guy to actually curse at him and spit at his face instead. This was f*cking disgusting!Harold said angrily, “Mr. Lloyd, you are too much! I just came over to ask you about the situation out of concern since we are friends. So, how can you treat me like this?!”Marcus yelled immediately, “Who the f*ck do you think you are? Do you really think that a poor man like you is actually worthy enough to become my friend?! You are nothing more than a pathetic jerk in my eyes! Are you trying to butter up to me so that you can get closer to me? Get lost!”“I…” Harold felt seriously wronged.However, he did not dare to go against Marcus at all. After all, Harold knew very well that the Lloyd family was countless times more powerful and stronger

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an
Chapter 6481
That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door

Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
Chapter 6478
Soon, the video of Mick's staged act was uploaded to the online group, and everyone eagerly watched it as soon as it was done uploading.Mick certainly set a new bar with his acting as none of them could see that it was an act.Moreover, everyone could see that the bronze sculpture looked like the real deal, and they might have been swindled if it were them.As such, they couldn't help being impressed as Mick had easily seen through Billy's con, and he was the definition of a pro in that video.No matter how Billy had packaged it, there was no tricking real experts like Mick Crane. Just a quick glance and he had seen through that it was a postmodern replica, matched with a base from the Renaissance era to misdirect and beguile.With that, many fellow antique dealers changed their opinion of Mick.After all, Vintage Deluxe's business had been declining after Mick took over as manager, and people were presuming that his skills were lacking.But now, they were all shown that he had

"Amazing, Mr. Crane!""It's Mr. Crane who shines through, in the end! His eyes see through everything!""I guess Miss Moore made the right choice firing Raymond and appointing Mr. Crane! Mr. Crane is infinitely better!"Mick was immediately thrilled to see them fawning over him, and he laughed, "You flatter me—I'm merely sharing my personal perspective on this. In this trade, anyone who knows would understand how hard it is to get the good stuff in this age of technology.""There are plenty of people who hold ulterior motives and change their tactics knowing that there are always those scheming to get their hands on vintage treasures, so they just have to make it. That is how they started making counterfeits of everything, from scrolls to sculptures to statues, each of them so real just to trick those fools who think they could get rich overnight!""Exactly!" Someone promptly agreed. "There's never a lack of any such fools, and I just happened to meet one. I had this piece of jade

In groups like these, any gossip would immediately spread like wildfire as people share everything here with their other circles.Within minutes of these people's good work, Antique Street was abuzz even as the skies darkened: one of the antique traders had been swindled for 300 thousand, and it was Raymond Cole—the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe at that!Some of them wondered when Raymond had actually returned while others were laughing.He was supposed to be the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe, but he had messed up as well? You had to be kidding!Many were dumbstruck too—how would Raymond survive in Antique Street after losing so much money? It had been so long since such a major scam had been pulled!As such, all the antique dealers were asking one question: how did Raymond Cole get fooled?Meanwhile, Mick didn't leak the security footage right away, instead sending his people out to spread the news in other channels, claiming that Raymond thought he had won big by
Chapter 6475
Mick had already clipped the security footage and was waiting for Zachary's word.He had checked the footage repeatedly as well and was only getting more impressed with his masterful acting by the second. He looked just like a maestro, and every detail he mentioned was flawless and showed experience.Zacahry even said that Raymond had truly slipped up with that bronze sculpture, leaving him endlessly thrilled.The proverbial missing piece of the puzzle was here!Hence, calling all the staff he trusted, he told them excitedly, "Spread the word right away—Raymond Cole slipped up, spending 300 thousand on a fake Renaissance-era bronze sculpture!"His staff had no idea of the conspiracy involved, only that Mick had said that someone had tried to sell a counterfeit bronze sculpture but he had seen through it right away and chased him away, only for Raymond to end up buying the fake bronze sculpture soon after.Someone asked, "Mr. Crane, don't you think Raymond Cole bought from the man
Chapter 6474
Raymond had said everything he should and shouldn't and with complete sincerity exactly because Billy would never believe it.As Billy just wanted to swindle him, it didn't matter how sincere Raymond was—he wanted the 300 thousand whatever it took. The key here was that Billy had refused a better prospect when told it was possible, and there was evidence that would support Raymond if either he or Zachary realized the truth and came to start trouble.That meant Raymond had nothing to worry about—they could take this to the United Nations but he'd still win this case.Having been in the antique trade for so long, he had seen every form of oddity and was always cautious with people, considering every aspect of any issue.Hence, once he downloaded the security footage to his phone, Raymond decided that he needed to sell the bronze sculpture—not because he was in urgent need of money, but because he realized that there were those who wanted him out of Aurous Hill's Antique Street.Afte
