The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 586
”I win!” Linda yelled excitedly as she pushed all of her tiles down suddenly! “I have fifty-eight thousand, all in one suit, a Concealed Hand, and a Concealed Kong! This is a multiplier of forty-eight, and that means I win four hundred and eighty thousand dollars! Sorry, Sister Elaine!”Elaine felt as though she had just fallen into an ice cellar!Four hundred and eighty thousand dollars just because she discarded one tile?She had just won three hundred thousand dollars after such a long time, and she was already giving up all of her winnings just like that. She even had to top up another one hundred over thousand dollars to make up for the losses…That was more than a hundred thousand dollars!Elaine felt very uncomfortable, and she felt as though she was breaking apart mentally.Hannah hurriedly persuaded her, “Oh! Elaine, it cannot be possible for you to win every game anyway! You have already won so many games. It does not matter if you lose one game. You will get back all o

Even though Hannah was trying to stabilize Elaine’s mentality and emotions, Elaine’s mentality had already collapsed at this point!To put it bluntly, she did have some skills when it came to playing mahjong. However, the biggest problem was that she could not change the tiles that she drew. There was nothing she could do if she had a bad hand. At this time, all of her emotions were openly displayed on her face.For instance, she could be very excited for a very long time if she won, but when she lost, she could not help but wait to eat the other person alive!She had won so many games earlier, but she had only won about three hundred thousand dollars. However, she had lost so much money after losing two big games. This naturally made her feel very uncomfortable. Not only did she lose the three hundred thousand dollars she had won, but she also lost more than two million dollars! This was literally half of her life savings!Elaine had not earned much money for herself in this life,

This set of tiles was another Heavenly Hand. She could win with two North Winds and a red tile.Most importantly, if she could get a North Wind tile, she would be able to get East, South, West, and North Wind. She would be able to win a big four!Winning with a big four was one of the biggest multipliers!If she could touch a North Wind, she would be able to win her two million dollars back!As she thought about it, Elaine really wanted to yell in excitement as she wanted to get a North Wind tile.She felt that the North Wind tile or the red tile would usually be of little use to anyone. Therefore, an average person would usually discard these tiles when they have it. So, even if she could not draw the tile on her own, someone would definitely discard one of these tiles.Little did she know, these tiles that she had were already a dead-end!The North Wind and the red tile that she needed were already in Gianna’s hand. That was to say, like her previous Heavenly Hand, the set in

Elaine had completely fallen into a pit. She did not realize that she had already fallen into a trap. All she could think about was how she could win her money back.Therefore, Elaine got very nervous when she heard that Linda did not want to continue playing anymore. At this time, she blurted out immediately, “How can we stop playing just because you want to stop playing now?! We already agreed to play another eight rounds! We have only played three rounds now!”Linda replied helplessly, “Sister Elaine, it’s not that I do not want to play with you anymore. However, the point is that you do not have the money to play with us anymore!”After she was done speaking, Linda said, “Why don’t we take a step back instead? Why don’t you settle this account first and then, we can play a smaller game? I will still accompany you to play even if it is a one thousand dollars or one hundred dollars game. Will that be fine?”“One thousand dollars? One hundred dollars?” Elaine blurted out anxiously

Elaine secretly made up her mind to earn back all of her money and make more profits this time!She gave everything that she had to continue playing the game.However, she would never have expected to lose the one million three hundred and twenty thousand dollars in just half an hour!Elaine was completely bewildered at this time. She was very unwilling to stop playing after losing all her money, and she quickly said, “Come, come, let’s play another round!”Linda said, “Sister Elaine, you don’t have any more money now. So, how are you going to pay us if you lose after we continue playing?”“I…”Elaine did not know how she should answer her question.She had completely exhausted everything she had.She had already used up all of her savings, and she had even mortgaged the only house occupied by her entire family.She did not have anything else she could mortgage anymore.However, Linda had sharp eyes, and she could recognize the value of the jade bracelet on Elaine’s wrist at

Hannah already knew that Zeke was the one who had given Charlie the villa at Thompson First.Therefore, she knew that she would have to push Elaine to the limit if she wanted to win the villa at Thompson First over from Elaine.Hannah knew that Charlie would not sit back and watch idly if Elaine did something so unreasonable.At that time, she would finally have the opportunity to take over the villa.Therefore, Hannah told Elaine, “You have already lost so much money. I think that it will be very difficult for you to win back all your money if we continue betting only ten thousand dollars. Why don’t we raise the bet instead? How about fifty thousand dollars? Anyway, you have enough money to cover your losses with the villa, but if you win, you can easily win back all your money in just two games!”Elaine had already lost all of her reasoning at this point, and she simply wanted to win all of her money back. Upon hearing this, Elaine immediately nodded in agreement as she blurted

In fact, these five million dollars was made up of Elaine’s two over million dollars, including the two million dollars that Hannah had put in as bait. Linda was simply repeatedly lending the same five million dollars that Elaine kept taking and losing back to her. After a whole night, the fifty million dollars that Elaine got from mortgaging the villa was already lost.At this time, Linda told Elaine, “Sister Elaine, I am sorry, but it seems as though you have already used up the fifty million dollars that you got from the mortgage.”Elaine felt as though she was going insane, and she blurted out immediately, “My villa is worth more than one hundred million dollars! You cannot simply take a mortgage from me for just fifty million dollars! You should give me another fifty million dollars for it!”“I am sorry.” Linda smiled slightly before she said, “We have already signed a mortgage contract, and everything is written in black and white. You were the one who agreed to mortgage the v

Linda had already exposed her true colors.She was already entering the finishing stage of slaughtering the pig!When Elaine saw the murderous expression on Linda’s face, she felt that she could not possibly be a wealthy woman at all.She suddenly realized that she had probably been cheated.After looking at Hannah, she felt that something was really wrong at this point.Why would Hannah take the initiative to come and apologize to her today? Moreover, why would Hannah even take the initiative to invite her to come over to play mahjong with them?Was this really planned by Hannah?There was something amiss with Linda too!Wasn’t she supposed to be bad at playing mahjong?So, how could she possibly win so much money from her then?As she thought about this, Elaine suddenly realized that she had probably been fooled!At this time, Elaine pointed a finger at Hannah before she blurted out furiously, “You with the last name Queen! You are such a shameless b*tch! You actually coll

Charlie smiled. "Who, me? You'd laugh at me, but it was only after Steven found me that I learned to drive. I never bought my own car either and only had the two supercars gifted to me, and I only drove those a handful of times at best. Even now, I'm driving the BMW 5-series I bought for my father-in-law."Then, he remembered Marianne Long and said, "I did drive a friend's Tesla back to Hong Kong, but it was only for a short time, and I didn't manage to look into their so-called assisted driving system."Yolden thought about it and smiled, "But y'know… how would I describe the car, specifically? Have you heard of Mario Balotelli, the soccer player?"Every man present aside from Keith nodded—Mario had been a philosopher on the soccer field, and even those who didn't watch soccer were familiar with his name.Nodding, Yolden continued, "The way I see it, Mario has been a player with top-class hardware but third-rate software. Give him Messi or Ronaldinho's intelligence, and he'd be a

Kaeden then asked, "Well, professor, how do you suppose we overtake the competition at turning points? Or indeed, what qualifies as succeeding in that respect?"Yolden thought about it, formulating his words before explaining, "My personal understanding of the matter isn't simply to aim for turning points. Instead, it's things like staying on the inner lane of the race track and reaching the finish line faster by going where no other race car had gone before—or indeed where people never thought to go before."That's the case for new energy cars. Our fossil fuel energies have constantly lost to other countries and would always come up short. But with new energy cars, we can change the rules altogether."We can't catch up to their engine tech? Then we won't—there's no way they are masters in electric-powered engines, are they? They've spent decades on internal combustion engines and haven't the first clue about electric-powered engines."So, while everyone hasn't turned all their foc

The Ackers were really interested in Yolden's perspective.For their family, investing in the new energy automotive industry wasn't meant to make money—they simply intended to add to Oskia's strength as a manufacturer.But with Yolden's input, they had new things to look forward to.If they really could propel their business to giants like Tesla, opportunities and profits would go without saying—there was also no question that it supported and improved Oskia's local car industry and manufacturing sector.Giants in the manufacturing sector were different from online giants, as the latter often enforced a stranglehold monopoly. Before they had the monopoly, they would be offering perks and subsidies to the market, and when they gained sufficient customers and consumer faith, they would start choking the market for profits.To put it in perspective, a five-mile Uber ride would cost five bucks before, and the driver would be paid ten for it. But after Uber got the monopoly, the rider

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
