The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 604
Linda was frightened by Charlie’s remark. She wailed and said, “Master Wade, please forgive me, I’m sorry! I can give you all my money! I earned quite a lot when I was in Macau and I have a total of twenty million in my hands. I can give you all that money, please spare my children!”She took out her phone, opened the mobile banking app, and showed Charlie the balance of her account.Indeed, there were more than twenty-one million in her personal account.Charlie said flatly, “Donate the money to the official donation account of Hope Foundation!”He retrieved his phone, searched for the official account, showed it to Linda, and said coldly, “Transfer it now.”“Master Wade, will you let me go after I donate the money?”“Oh? Do you want a bargain now?”Linda was taken aback. She grabbed his phone, keyed in the account number that Charlie showed her, and donated all the money to the charity.She passed the phone back to Charlie and cried, “Master Wade, I’ve donated all the money a

While Linda cried bitterly, Charlie ordered Albert’s men to bring Hannah to him.Hannah was shaking with fright. She looked at Charlie and pleaded, “Charlie, I’m your aunt. You’re part of our family. For…for the sake of the Wilson family, could you forgive me, please?”Charlie chuckled as if he heard a funny joke. “Stop with your nonsense. Tell me, how much money do you have now?”Hannah’s heart skipped a beat. She blurted out frantically, “I don’t have any money… Really, I don’t have any money!”“I’ll give you a chance to come clean. I advise you to take it or you’ll end up like Linda.”Hannah trembled in fear. She was being cautious in the midst of terror and said, “I… I have five million, that’s all our family has…”Charlie nodded knowingly. “Okay, open your mobile banking app now and show me the balance.“I… I don’t have the app!”“Is that so?” Charlie said in a cold tone, “If I find out that a mobile banking app is installed on your phone, I’ll break your leg.”“O… okay,

“Huh?!” Hannah shrieked in a panic, “But I just donated fifteen million as you said…”“So what?” Charlie said coldly. “You’re the mastermind behind today’s scam, do you think it’s fair for me to punish Linda alone?”“Yeah!” Linda growled indignantly, “She’s the real culprit!”Charlie looked at Hannah and smirked, “See, even your accomplice says that you’re the culprit. You have to go to the coal mine with your pal here and contribute to Hope Foundation.”Then, he pointed to the woman named Gianna and commanded, “And you too, the three of you, get ready to work at the coal mine and redeem yourself.”Gianna cried out loud. She shook her head and hands, knocked her head on the floor to beg, and wailed, “No, please don’t! I’m innocent! Linda dragged me here to join them for mahjong, that’s all! I don’t know about their plan, I don’t know anything!”Charlie said coldly, “Do you think I’d believe you? Shut up when I ask nicely and I’ll spare your family. If I hear a single yelp from yo

Elaine completely forgot about her money when she was immersed by the scene of the people wailing and crying.When the thought struck her mind, she turned to Charlie and yelled, “Hurry, ask them to return the money to me! They won more than two million dollars from me!”Charlie asked them to donate their money to Hope Foundation for two reasons, one was to punish them and the other was to teach his mother-in-law a lesson.You were always so greedy and dissatisfied with your current situation, weren’t you?You were addicted to gambling, weren’t you?You thought that you could make a fortune and be rich by playing mahjong, didn’t you?Well, I let you lose all your money so that this experience would stick in your mind!Charlie looked at the women on the floor and asked, already knowing what their answer would be, “Hey, about the money you won from my mother-in-law—quickly discuss how you’re going to repay her!”They exchanged befuddled glances and cried, “We’ve donated all our mo

Elaine was on the verge of collapsing.She couldn’t collect the two million dollars and she broke the five million dollar jade bangle. It was a terrible loss!She turned her glare at Gianna and shouted hysterically, “You! You didn’t donate your money! Give me back my money! Give me all my money back or I’ll kill you! I’ll f*cking kill you!”Gianna knelt on the floor in fright, crying and pleading, “I don’t have any money, I’m very poor. I only have around sixty thousand in my savings account. I’ll transfer it all to you if you want it…”Elaine slapped her furiously and growled, “I don’t believe you! Show me your balance! Hurry!”“I really don’t have any money, I have an income of two thousand something a month. I wouldn’t have joined Linda to con people if I were rich…”Then, she took out her phone, opened the mobile banking app, and showed Elaine her balance. It really only had sixty-three thousand dollars in it.Elaine nearly fainted.What could she do with sixty-three thousa

Charlie shook his head slightly and said, “Forget it, Albert. Sometimes, there are things that you must learn to accept, be it good or bad.”Albert glared at Elaine indignantly while she crouched at the side, trembling in horror.She didn’t dare to mention a word about the money anymore and kept the grief and bitterness in her heart.At this moment, several cars stopped abruptly in the villa’s courtyard. Isaac got out of the car and personally escorted five adults who were tied up into the house.Fear and terror were written all over the five people’s faces. As soon as they saw Linda after entering the door, a young man blurted, “Mom, what’s going on?!”Linda looked at the crowd and wailed in despair when she saw her husband, children, and children-in-law being taken into the house.“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, it’s all my fault… I’m so sorry for dragging all of you into this…”A man in his fifties hurriedly asked, “Dear, what’s going on?!”Charlie said coldly, “Are you aware that

Blood drained from the woman’s face. She blurted, her voice shaky, “I… I’ve never been involved in the operations, I just do the accounting…”“Accounting?” Charlie said flatly, “That makes you an accomplice too! You’d better go with them to redeem yourself. All of you are really a bunch of scum!”Isaac said, “Master Wade, I know this woman. Her father is Lucas Frank and he runs an underground casino nearby. Do you want me to destroy them?”“Investigate their operations and background and see what they’ve done. If their sins are unforgivable, just kill them.”The woman collapsed on the floor, frightened and befuddled.Soon, three Toyota Coaster mini buses drove into Thompson First and parked in front of the villa. Albert’s men broke Hudson’s leg along with the rest of his gang’s before sending them into the bus.Charlie said to Elaine, “Mom, let’s go.”There was a dash of embarrassment on Elaine’s face. She pulled Charlie aside and whispered, “They filmed me, the shameful kind. Q

Elaine knew that if she was busted, she could be charged for gambling. Worse still, if her husband and daughter knew that she had gambled with such a large amount of money, they would be infuriated.She would be condemned for what she had done.Although the money was gone now, at least she did not end up worse than those people who were sent to the coal mine for the next one to two decades. Yet, she couldn’t help feeling depressed with the money and bangle lost.She could still explain herself about the broken bangle. She had taken the broken pieces with her anyway, she could tell her family that the bangle broke.What explanation should she come up with regarding the money?Jacob did not have his own bank account. All the household money was in her own hands, including the money her husband earned from reselling the antiques.Now, she had lost all the money to gambling. If Jacob were to find out about it, he would be extremely angry at her!Elaine was sighing in depression an

Charlie was driving Jacob to Thompson First when the latter received the text from Matilda.Seeing that they were reaching the front gates, Jacob promptly snapped at Charlie, "Charlie, stop the car now!"Charlie did so and asked in curiosity, "What's wrong?""Matilda just texted me," Jacob replied, showing the chat log between him and Matilda.Charlie was just glancing at it nonchalantly when he saw that Matilda's contact name was 'AAA July Florist'."Wait, why is that Aunt Matilda's contact name?" He exclaimed in surprise."I changed it."Jacob explained gingerly while reading through the text Matilda sent. "Her profile picture is an iris, so I changed her contact name to a florist since I'm mostly worried Elaine would peek into my phone.""Anyway, she's asking if I'm attending her wedding with Yolden. They would send us an invitation if I accept, extended to our whole family… what do you think I should say?"Charlie asked in return. "You're planning to skip it, aren't you? T

Then, Matilda suggested, "How about this—I'll ask him before deciding." "I'll pass on inviting the rest of my former classmates too. They're too vain and love comparing, so I'd rather not have anything to do with that. Also, there are our Korean friends who have it together, and they were telling us to invite them if we were going to get married. We have to keep our promise, right?""Yeah—then, it's basically decided. Aside from Charlie, we shall invite our colleagues and Korean friends while we wait for an answer from Jacob."Yolden nodded and said, "Now, I'll talk about the honeymoon—cut me short if you have a different opinion."Matilda nodded, resting her chin on her hands and smiling. "Shoot. I'm all ears."Feeling a little embarrassed by Matilda's glowing stare, Yolden took a sip of his ice water before continuing, "My idea is to head to the States for our honeymoon after the wedding…"He trailed off, staring at Matilda and waiting for a response.However, she was merely

"Oh, Jacob…?"Matilda chuckled awkwardly. "Just today, he offered to buy me dinner, but I said I didn't have the time, and I also told him about our wedding… So, we should invite him since he's aware of it.""Jacob offered to buy you dinner?" Yolden exclaimed in surprise. "Did he say why?""Nope," Matilda shrugged, smiling. "Probably just dinner between old classmates."However, she was actually smart enough to guess Jacob's intention even though Jacob was inviting her somewhere near campus. That was why she had also mentioned she was marrying Yolden while turning down Jacob, all so that he would give up on her.After she had managed to get over their past fling completely, she didn't want to give Jacob false hopes before she walked down the aisle.In the same regard, she didn't want to worry Yolden, and therefore, had deliberately discouraged Jacob.Be that as it may, Yolden was smart too.He knew about Matilda and Jacob's past and that her son, Paul's full name was Paul Jam

Before Charlie had arrived, Jacob was still furious that Matilda would soon marry Yolden.After Charlie came, however, he was instead worried that Matilda would send him a wedding invitation.Meanwhile, Matilda and Yolden were discussing their list of guests.They had different social circles, but most of their friends were Stateside, and they only had some distant relatives in this country.Still, they had colleagues in Aurous Hill. Matilda had classmates too, but she was out of touch with them aside from Jacob, whom she often met.Still, as they discussed who should be invited, Matilda first suggested, "Let's go through everyone. First, our Stateside friends… I don't think we should tell them at all since it's a long journey, and inviting them would seem tactless. What do you think?"Yolden nodded, smiling, "I was just thinking the same thing. We're close with our Stateside friends and always keep in touch, but inviting them to our wedding might be a stretch. We'd just hit a wa

With that being said, once Matilda was thrown in the mix, Elaine would suddenly become an African honey badger, with every bit of black air force energy that was implied.As such, if Jacob had managed to be brave and take that one step back then, Charlie would have tried to help, stopping Elaine from harassing Jacob or Matilda.However, the reality was that Jacob had to bungle the chance when Matilda offered it to him.That was why the best option was for Jacob to understand that he couldn't get together with Matilda now so that he would feel much better.And since he had always been a coward, Charlie's slight intimidation cleared his head considerably.He then sighed, "Well, that's just life—you don't always get what you want, and you should never try to claim what you couldn't. I couldn't bring myself to choose Matilda over thirty years ago, so not being together now only makes sense.""Now, I can only pray that Elaine never finds out… or at least that things don't get out of h

Then, Jacob quickly pressed, "Dear boy, maybe you could stay a few days instead of taking more jobs. At least you could be there to stop my wife if she snaps.""Sure," Charlie chuckled, cheerfully agreeing to it. "Don't worry—Claire's returning in a couple of days too, and you'll be fine with us around. You're cheating in your mind, anyway…"Pausing, he then added a reminder, "But if she's really furious, just bear with her beatings and clawings. Live and let live, as they say."That left Jacob sulking, however. "What the hell! If I knew this would happen, I should have just taken her to court and divorced her openly! That way, I'd definitely make things work with Matilda. Yolden wouldn't even stand a chance!"Charlie had to keep a straight face. "Now, you're not quite right there—don't you know what would happen to your wife if you took this to court?"Jacob snorted coolly. "Elaine would just snap at me, hit me, and make sure I don't get a cent in the divorce. That's no big deal—

"Fuck!" When Jacob heard what Charlie said, he was horrified. He nervously asked, "Matilda isn't going to come to our house to deliver the invitation, is she? If Elaine finds out that I've been hiding Matilda's return from her all this time, I'll be so dead!" Charlie, having long seen through Jacob, knew he would never escape the shadow and claws of Elaine. He shook his head and said, "Whether they'll invite you, I have no way of knowing. If you're worried, you can tell Matilda that you don't want to be invited to her wedding and that you don't want to go." Jacob sighed. "That's just a temporary solution. Even if she doesn't know now, she'll probably find out sooner or later. A lot of our mutual friends already know about Matilda's return. You went to the gathering too. But those friends are not really in contact with Elaine, so she hasn't found out yet." Charlie smiled and said, "Matilda's return to the country was at a pretty sensitive time. If I'm not mistaken, she came b

Jacob then realized that Charlie was also driving a Rolls-Royce, and it was a more expensive Phantom. Surprised, he asked, "Charlie, where did you get this car?" Marilyn had prepared the car for Charlie when he left Scarlet Pinnacle Manor. He had driven it to Thompson First, so he had decided to use it today. Charlie replied, "A client lent it to me. You sounded urgent, so I drove it over." Then, he added, "You're something else. You're crying like a baby yet you're still in the mood to ask about the car. What's going on? Your friend said you'd cried twice already?" "That bloody Simon!" Hearing this, Jacob became furious and cursed, "He still doesn't have the slightest clue! He's such a damned fool! The more I try to avoid him, the more he keeps blabbering on and on. Argh, he's so stupid!" Charlie asked, "What exactly is bothering you?" Jacob's face instantly turned dejected, and with a long sigh, he choked up and said, "Charlie— Matilda— She's getting married—" "Gettin
Chapter 6376
Things were a little different and unique in the United States, though. Westerners tended to approach marriage with greater caution. Many couples stayed together for years, had several children, and yet remained as boyfriend and girlfriend. Being together, having children, and raising them jointly didn't necessarily mean they would get married. In fact, it was not uncommon for some to walk down the aisle only after having multiple kids. Because of this environment, elderly couples in the West often limited their relationships to dating, and at most, cohabitation. Very few progressed to the stage of marriage. However, Yolden, like a young man in the throes of passionate love, had invited her on a trip, secretly prepared a proposal ceremony by the seaside, and gotten down on one knee with a ring to propose. These actions deeply moved Matilda and, at the same time, gave her an unprecedented sense of security. Now, Yolden had moved their wedding up a big step and set the date just on
