After that, Claire looked at Elaine before she said, “Mom, can you stop making things difficult for dad already? He does not usually spend much money anyway. Why are you confronting him now that he simply wants to treat some of his friends to dinner?”Elaine said, “I am simply trying to save some money for the family! Are we the kind of family who should be spending twenty thousand dollars just for a meal?”After that, Elaine glared at Jacob before she said, “No matter what it is, you will have to give me the money today, whether you want to or not!”In truth, Claire already knew what her mother was up to.She knew that her mother was just a very materialistic person who was mad about money. If her father refused to give her mother the money today, it would be impossible for him to leave the house.At this time, Claire quickly cut in. “Mom, stop making things difficult for dad. You want ten thousand dollars, right? I will give it to you.”“Okay!” Elaine replied in excitement, “Th

When Charlie saw how persistent Claire was, he nodded as he said, “Alright then, wife. Thank you for your hard work. I will leave now.”“Alright, go!” Claire then quickly asked, “Since you are attending a friend’s birthday banquet, did you prepare a present for him?”Charlie hummed before he said, “Yes, I’ve prepared a gift for him already.”Claire hurriedly asked, “What gift did you prepare for him? Make sure that it is not too petty or cheap, otherwise, he might feel a little dissatisfied!”Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “I have already prepared something that I made myself for him. It is not the gift that counts, but the thought behind it that matters anyway. After all, my friend does not really care that much about money. Therefore, I believe he will definitely love my gift.”“That’s great!” Claire nodded before she smiled and said, “If that is the case, you should leave now!”“Okay.”At this time, Charlie got up before he put on an ordinary coat. After that, he bid

Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “Thank you for coming all the way here to pick me up today.”Jasmine hurriedly replied, “Yes, this is my responsibility. After all, it is the Moore family’s honor that you are able to attend my grandfather’s birthday banquet today.”As she spoke, Jasmine hurriedly trotted two steps forward as she took the initiative to open the door of the co-driver seat before she bowed slightly and made a gesture at Charlie as she blushed and said, “Master Wade, please get into the car.”Charlie nodded before he got into the car directly without being courteous or polite to Jasmine at all.If anyone saw Jasmine, the famous and prestigious young lady of the Moore family, personally taking the initiative to open the car door for a young man, they would be so shocked that their jaw would be hanging out in the open.However, no matter which aspect it was from, Charlie felt that it was only natural for him to be worthy of Jasmine’s act of opening the car door f

In the car.Jasmine drove as she spoke to Charlie, “Master Wade, my grandpa has been talking about you for a few days now. He was afraid that you would not have the time to come and attend his birthday banquet. I believe that he will definitely be very happy to see you!”Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “Since I have already promised you that I will be coming to attend the birthday banquet, why would I break my promise to you?”“Mm!” Jasmine nodded happily before she said, “I think that the person my grandpa wants to meet the most today is you.”As she spoke, Jasmine could not help but sigh as she said, “I do not know what is going on with my grandpa. He has been talking about you continuously over the past few days ever since he went to see the genius doctor, Dr. Simmons, a few days ago. He also told me in secret that his greatest wish is to see you at his birthday banquet today.”Charlie was stunned for a moment before he chuckled lightly.He knew the reason why Lord Moo

Charlie smiled before he said, “This is the price they have to pay for harming others.”“Yes!” Jasmine nodded as she said, “These people should be held responsible for their own actions!”As they spoke, Jasmine had already driven her car into the Moore family mansion.At this time, Zeke, Graham, Albert, Liam, and Doris had all already been waiting in the Moore family courtyard for a long time. As soon as Charlie stepped out of the car, the group of people quickly surrounded the both of them.When Jasmine stopped the car, she quickly said, “Master Wade, please sit down and wait for me to open the car door for you.”Charlie hurriedly replied, “You don’t need to be so polite to me. I can just get down by myself.”Jasmine quickly replied, “No! No! Master Wade, you are our most distinguished guest today! I have to give you the most common courtesy. Otherwise, my grandpa will definitely scold me!”As she spoke, Jasmine quickly pushed the car door open as she ran over to the passenger

Sean’s loud growl attracted a lot of curious glances from the guests who passed him by on the second floor, wondering why the young master of the Webb family suddenly became angry.Sean glared at them in annoyance and shouted, “What are you looking at? Get lost!”The frightened guests quickly turned their heads and looked away. Sean, with his gloomy face, gestured for Cain to come to him.Cain sprinted toward him like a loyal puppy and asked diligently, “Yes, Young Master Webb, what do you need?”Sean pointed to Charlie who was standing beside Jasmine in the yard and muttered indignantly, “Check that dude’s identity. I want to know who the heck he is!”Cain looked curiously in the direction where Sean was pointing and was shocked when he saw the person, so much so that his eyes opened wide!Wasn’t that Charlie Wade?!He recognized the guy even if he turned into ashes!Charlie was the reason why Marcus, his precious son, had the words ‘pathetic jerk’ carved on his forehead by Al
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 654
Jasmine was so attentive and gentle toward Charlie, yet so cold and stern toward him, this was so insulting!Sean gritted his teeth in dismay and commanded Cain coldly, “I’ll give you a task right now. If you do it well, wait for awesome rewards, but don’t come to see me ever again if you fail!”Cain spruced up and burst out, “Alright, Mr. Webb, speak your orders. I’ll do my best!”Sean shot a ghastly glare at Charlie in the yard and said, “Later, think of a way to humiliate Charlie in front of Jasmine! Teach him a lesson. I want him to be embarrassed so badly in front of Jasmine! It’s best if you can make him leave this place like a defeated dog!”Cain grinned excitedly upon hearing Sean’s demand. It was the best chance to take his revenge! He blurted excitedly, “Okay, Mr. Webb! I’ll go down and meet him now!”He had done some investigations on Charlie. The latter had managed to fool some of the VIPs in Aurous Hill with his feng shui tricks that had earned him the title ‘Master W

Cain’s mockery was unexpected and shocking.The mockery not only targeted Charlie, but also the people who paid their respects to Charlie.Albert almost burst into flames of wrath when Cain came out of nowhere with his senseless insult. He glared at him and shouted coldly, “Cain Lloyd, do you have a f*cking death wish? Do you want me to carve words on your forehead just as I did to your son?!”Charlie realized the cause of this direct mockery the second he laid eyes on the outraged Cain.This man was Marcus Lloyd’s father.Marcus, the rich kid with his catchphrase ‘pathetic jerk’, the young man who had provoked him at the Champs Elys Resort which resulted in a miserable ending—Albert had carved the words ‘pathetic jerk’ on his forehead as directed by him.He didn’t expect to bump into the young man’s father at the Moore family’s banquet, let alone be insulted by him.Cain exchanged a hateful glare with Albert and said, “Albert Rhodes, don’t you be so f*cking cocky and bossy!

Pausing, Julien then said, "I mostly drink wine and the occasional whiskey.""How much are those, usually?" Raymond asked.Julien thought about it. "If it's table wine, 10,000 to 50,000 USD. For bigger occasions, it'd be something over a hundred thousand."Raymond nodded and pointed at the bottle of Oskian vodka he had bought. "Guess how much that is?"Julein shook his head. "I don't usually drink Oskian alcohol, so I'm not too sure…""Come on," Charlie chuckled. "We're not asking if you know—we're just asking you to take a guess.""Then…" Julien quickly said. "I'm guessing, three thousand?""Three thousand?" Raymond chuckled and shook his head. "That's way too flattering. It's around 7 USD.""Seven bucks?!" Julien exclaimed, and he blurted, "You usually drink something that cheap, Mr. Cole?""Well, not stateside," Raymond smiled. "But I liked it after I ordered one from a diner yesterday. It's cheap, and it has quality."Julien gulped as he stared at his own cup filled to th

Julien flinched and promptly threw his hands up. "No, no, no… please don't say that, Mr. Wade! That's not what I mean—as a son, it's only right that I hope my father lives long and prospers. Why wouldn't I want him to?"Charlie pointed out, "Then why'd you say that I've screwed you over repeatedly?""Oh. I, uh…" Julien wasn't sure how to respond to that, and he groaned unhappily, "I was not being mindful with words. I take that back…" Charlie nodded. "Then, I'll give you another chance.""Huh?" Julien was left confused, and he quickly asked, "Another chance… for what?"Charlie clapped him on the shoulder again, smiling, "We're old friends, aren't we? Why would I screw you over? Anyway, your turn."Julien was left utterly aggrieved as he read through Charlie's intention—that was precisely the definition of screwing him over!If his father knew he had come to Aurous Hill to hang out with these two, especially Biden Cole, he would definitely be removed as heir! And yet, Charlie

Having seen a sliver of the common folk's plight, Julien turned back to the journey at hand.Soon, his MPV arrived at Aurous Hill's Antique Street.As it was closing hours, the place appeared bleak, almost as though it had been completely abandoned. It was only during opening hours and the few hours before closing that the place became most alive anyway.Most of the time, the vendors and employees outnumbered the guests, and during closing hours, it would get very quiet. One wouldn't even find strays here as there weren't scraps around.Still, Julien had no idea what the hell the place was, even as he arrived outside Treasure Measure following the location Charlie had sent.Once he was sure he was at the right place, he called Charlie, immediately sounding respectful and flattering, "I'm here, Mr. Wade. If you don't mind opening the door…""Alright, just hang on," Charlie said and put down the phone while turning to Raymond, who was putting the food on a folding table, "Our frien

The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What

At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav

The cabbie nodded. "Well, Talbot Associates, it is! They're said to be number two."-While Jacob was heading off to consult a law firm, Charlie was calling Julien Rothschild over the phone.The manchild had just had room service and was lounging on the couch, fiddling with his phone.After visiting the kennels with Charlie, he had been idling his days away at the hotel, waiting for Salem and his son to post that video of them being out at sea.Once that was done, Julien would return to the States, once more the heir apparent of the Rothschilds. Still, it was boring to simply lounge around in the hotel, and he would really like to strengthen his ties with Charlie.However, he was also afraid of being too forward as Charlie could be intimidating, and he could upset him—just like a fan eager to get close to their idol but was still worried about their idol getting disgusted with them.As such, he never expected Charlie to call him, and he immediately answered eagerly, "Good even

Pausing, Mr. Bay continued, "If they're not that upset with the idea, I'll bang my gavel and make the call so that you can at least stay as a vice president."If they keep refusing, I just have to promote Mr. Zonda to become a vice president while you take over his position of head-of-department as insurance. What do you think?"Jacob certainly wouldn't protest the idea of insurance, especially when he thought he would be forced to leave the Calligraphy and Painting Association altogether earlier. He quickly exclaimed gratefully, "Thank you so much, Mr. Bay!"Mr. Bay chuckled, clearly relieved as well. "Come on, Jacob—you don't have to be so formal. I'm like a brother to you! Don't you think that's what I should be doing?"Jacob laughed earnestly for once. "Well, brother, I'm honestly relieved…" He trailed off but soon pressed on, "But I have to ask, won't the other members have things to say even if you manage to persuade the other vice presidents? What if they remain unhappy?

There were times when making a person despair to some extent could be a people-strategy.For example, when your distant acquaintance asked for a ten grand loan but you could only lend him one, you couldn't tell him directly that. It would make them think you were being insincere.The better option would be to tell them how you were worse off than they were and had a debt yourself, or that some other friend had borrowed money for three years and never repaid it.And when that mere acquaintance was in despair, you could tell them that if it was really important, you could lend them one thousand with a credit card loan.That way, while the mere acquaintance wouldn't exactly be awash with gratitude, they at least wouldn't complain about your lack of sincerity.That was exactly what Mr. Bay was doing.He had no intention of offending Jacob, but he also couldn't directly tell him to give up on claiming the position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Otherwise, Ja

Jacob felt absolutely horrible just then, and he certainly did not expect Don Albert to give him the cold shoulder.If he had known, he would have just stayed content with the 200 thousand he had made and enjoyed his trip to Dubai! If he had, the Calligraphy and Painting Association wouldn't have found out about the bronze sculpture plot, and Don Albert would still be on friendly terms with him.Absolutely regretting everything, Jacob got in the backseat of the cab, tears of grief almost welling up and out of his eyes.Then, noticing that the cabbie was quietly watching him from the rearview mirror, he turned his face aside, whipped out his phone, and called Mr. Bay.As soon as Mr. Bay answered, he asked, "How did things go over there? Have you sorted out Zachary Evans yet?"He was waiting for Jacob to ask Don Albert for help so that the latter would pressure Zachary into posting a statement retracting his previous claims.However, Jacob knew full well that there was no hope for
