Could it be…Could it be…Could it be the Rejuvenating Pill that Anthony had taken?!Lord Moore had been dreaming of getting a chance for Charlie to bless him with one of the Rejuvenating Pills so that he could indulge in the intense feeling of going back in time, borrowing more time to stay alive and helping the family go further.However, if there was one thing he had learned throughout his long life, it was that chances were hard to come by!He dared not go to Charlie for the pill for fear that Charlie would find him repulsive, thus, he could only wait patiently for the right moment to come.Initially, he thought that this rare chance would only come by when Jasmine and Charlie had made substantial progress in terms of their relationship.But now, from the way Charlie put it, he felt as though Charlie might truly have prepared the pill as a birthday gift for him.He wasn’t sure and did not dare to ask him directly, so, he bowed at Charlie as he suppressed the excitement and

In Lord Moore’s opinion, Charlie had always been the best candidate for the son-in-law of the Moore family.With his eighty years of life experience, he knew at a glance that Charlie was extraordinary!Charlie was the first man he recognized to possess powerful abilities that were comparable to a true dragon on earth!In addition to the wonderful effects of the Rejuvenating Pill, he was more convinced of Charlie’s ability and wanted to lean on him.Establishing a good relationship with the Webb family was nothing more than diversifying more routes to make even more money for the family.However, the Moore family was considered rich even though they were not as wealthy as the Webb family.There was not much difference between a net worth of 100 billion dollars or 200 billion dollars, it only equaled one thing—they already owned more money than they could spend.Moreover, for Lord Moore, money was no longer important. Lifespan and health were the most important of all!Therefore,

Jasmine was the best candidate as his son’s wife!Donald was a little hesitant and indecisive when he thought of it.Following Donald’s gloomy silence, the atmosphere turned into an awkward reticence.Reuben secretly punched his knuckles in dismay when he witnessed this awkward scene.If both families fought and generated an irreversible crack or in the worst-case scenario, turned against each other, it would undoubtedly be a massive blow to the Moore family!More importantly, Jasmine would be even more unlikely to marry Sean!If Jasmine didn’t marry him, his position as the future heir would be unstable!Even if he was appointed as the head of the family, Jasmine might have a part in the family’s inheritance!He was determined to not let Jasmine stay with the Moore family, and so, he would definitely oppose strongly for Jasmine to marry Charlie and let him live in their house!Therefore, he hurriedly stood up to lighten the mood and said, “Hey, Uncle Webb, Sean, today is my g

The crowd started to walk toward the banquet hall where the birthday celebration was about to begin.Lord Moore exchanged a few words with Charlie and went to sit at the main seat.Sitting next to him was his eldest son, third son, and fourth son.Among the second-generation heirs of the Moore family, Reuben’s father was the eldest son, and Jasmine’s father was the second son, but he had died young, hence, Jasmine was the only one left in this line.As for the family of the third and fourth sons, they were relatively young and their children were still in the teenage or elementary school age, thus, they were not considered in the inheritance competition.The rest of the guests sat down at their assigned tables.Charlie sat with the Quinton family, the White family, Albert, and so on.Donald and Sean were sitting with a few local families. Some of them were families who were busy buttering them up, and they surrounded the Webb family’s father and son, continuously flattering them

At this moment, he received a text from Jasmine: [Master Wade, I hope you don’t take what happened earlier personally. With the Moore family around, the Webb family will not be too presumptuous.]Charlie smiled and replied: [Of course, I don’t mind, they are nothing but a bunch of circus clowns.]Meanwhile, Donald and Sean were sitting in the VIP seats on the other side.Sean looked at Jasmine, then at Charlie, and saw that both of them were looking at their phones. When she put it down, he picked it up, and when he put it down, she picked it up again. It was obvious that they were exchanging texts.As he watched their exchange, he was even more agitated. He had added Jasmine as his Facebook friend, but she had set her profile as private!In fact, she rarely responded whenever he chatted with her.However, as he watched the frequency of her chatting with Charlie now, she was so acute and responsive, almost as though she was afraid to miss his message for even a second. She even h

Sean shivered in elation at the thought of killing Albert tonight!His father was right, Don Albert was Charlie’s firearm in Aurous Hill!If they wanted to attack Charlie, they must first remove his firearm!Not only must they remove his firearm, but they also had to turn the firearm into their own!That way, the firearm would become the bridgehead for the Webb family to march into Aurous Hill in the future!At that time, Charlie would pay the price with his own life for insulting them and tackling Sean’s girl!The Quinton family and the White family would also pay the price for not taking the Webb family’s side!Donald looked at Sean and said flatly, “You must learn to calm down and put up a poker face, don’t let your true emotions show so easily on your face and body language.”Sean quickly retracted his grin. “Okay, Dad, I understand!”“Good.” Donald nodded, putting Charlie’s matter behind him, and he asked, “Have you prepared the birthday gift for Lord Moore?”Sean nodded

After the three sons, Jasmine and Reuben walked on stage, knelt in front of Lord Moore, and presented their gifts.Oscar then announced:“The eldest grandson, Reuben Moore, presents a pair of imperial jadeite ornaments, worth 80 million.”“The eldest granddaughter, Jasmine Moore, presents a painting, The Blinding of Samson by Rembrandt, worth 70 million.”After the family finished their rounds, the guests stepped forward one after another, giving gifts.Although the guests’ gifts were not as valuable as the Moore family members’, they were also quite pricey between the range of 10 to 30 million.Next, Donald and Sean stood up. Sean held the gift carefully and walked toward Lord Moore with his father.On his way, Sean shot a scornful look at Charlie.He was about to give Lord Moore a priceless piece of authentic painting from Vermeer, it had to be the most valuable gift among all the guests!He was certain that Charlie’s gift would pale in comparison to his gift, he would know
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 667
In Sean’s opinion, he was convinced that there was nothing Charlie, the deadbeat moocher, could give to Lord Moore that was comparable to Vermeer’s painting!Thus, he concluded that he would win over Charlie big time and also become the winner in the gift-giving round who surprised the guests and impressed Lord Moore the most.After all, in Sean’s view, Charlie was just a worthless loser who had chosen to marry into his wife’s family, it was impossible for him to come out with a decent gift, so no matter what his present was, it couldn’t possibly be on par with the precious painting he had given Lord Moore!Therefore, he sneered, “Grandpa Moore, I heard that Master Wade has been lingering in the feng shui fraud for some time now, he must have accumulated a significant fortune from all the scamming he did. I bet his birthday gift to you must be a precious treasure that is worth hundreds of millions, or maybe even billions of dollars!”Then, he turned his sneer at Charlie, “The paint

The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th

It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m

Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their

Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300

"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom

"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
Chapter 6533
At this point, Don Albert could very well be Jacob's personal messiah.Even if he did threaten Zachary with calling Charlie persistently, he actually wouldn't dare call Charlie.After all, how would he start explaining that he was involved in a crime? And telling Charlie was basically telling his daughter—what would they think of him after this? Would he ever be able to hold his head high in the family again?As such, his only option now was to ask Don Albert and see if he would help.What he didn't know was that Don Albert was with Charlie, who had already anticipated Jacob's move.When Jacob realized he couldn't stop Zachary, Jacob would find someone who could, and Don Albert was the best man for the job!To no surprise, Don Albert's phone soon started ringing with a call from Jacob.Don Albert didn't answer right away, however, instead turning toward Charlie as he asked gingerly, "So, shall I stick to your script, Master Wade?"Seeing Charlie nod, he pressed on, "Should I

As soon as Jacob sent the voice message, Mr. Bay called.Jacob quickly answered, asking nervously, "How are things over there, Mr. Bay?""How, you ask…?" Mr. Bay sighed in exasperation. "The entire Calligraphy and Painting Association was demanding your dismissal as soon as Zachary Evans posted his statement, thinking that you have no business being the administrative vice president let alone have a place in the association."Even those officials came asking me questions, and you know how they are—gossipers, every last one of them, always finding out about the juicy stuff instantly even if it's really no big deal. The only excuse I have to stop them is that we don't have the facts, but this issue still needs to be taken care of."So, be straight with me. Were you a part of this? If you don't, do you have any definitive evidence that can refute Zachary's claims?""I… Uh…" Jacob stammered, unable to answer.He certainly wanted to say no, but he had no evidence to back himself up.

Jacob bellowed furiously, "Raymond Cole made over 19 million dollars! From my bronze sculpture! Yet you're telling me to refund that 300 thousand too?! You're just fucking with me, aren't you?!""Well, if you don't like it, just do what you like, then," Zachary replied calmly and quickly hung up before Jacob could answer.Jacob was left twitching and shaking endlessly, and there was no telling if it was from rage or fear.Beside him, Elaine quickly asked, "What did Zachary say, dear? Can he get that bronze sculpture back?"Caught by surprise at her question, Jacob flinched, and his phone slipped out of his grasp.As it seemed to hover in the air, he tried to catch it twice but failed, but Elaine managed to grab it.It was then that she noticed that he was sweating all over his face, and she promptly asked, "What's wrong, dear?"Coming to his senses, Jacob's eyes went wide with rage. "Zachary is trying to kill me! He leaked the whole thing to his Twitter page—it's like he's pulli
