The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 692
“Chester Scotson?” Jacob could not help but frown as he asked, “Are you talking about that old man who likes to brag to the point that he doesn’t even remember his last name just because he has a little money?”Morgan nodded before he said, “Yes. My support for you alone won’t be enough. When the other guests arrive later, you’ll have to try to win the support of the president and the other directors. That way, you might actually have a chance to defeat Chester in the internal voting and become the executive director instead. Do you understand what I’m saying?”Jacob nodded hurriedly as he said sincerely, “Brother Morgan, thank you for your sincere advice. You’re really inspiring! Thank you so much!”Morgan smiled slightly before he said, “Brother, why are you being so polite with me?”After that, Morgan glanced at the time on his watch before he said, “The chairman and the rest of the guests will also be here soon. Let’s wait for them at the door. That way, it will seem that you a

When everyone in the room heard that Chester had actually booked a Gold Room upstairs, they were all shocked!The Heaven Springs was one of the top restaurants in the entire Aurous Hill.Even some of the savvy and prestigious figures from the upper class society in Aurous Hill hardly had the opportunity to book a Gold Room even if they spent a lot of money or made use of the connections that they had to do so.Among everyone present here tonight, even Mr. Bay who had the highest status had never had the chance to enter the Gold Room for dinner. They had never been able to step into the Gold Room to see how luxurious it was.Now, Chester was actually offering to entertain all of his guests in the Gold Room at The Heaven Springs tonight. All of the guests in the room were in fact very surprised and excited when they heard that they would have the opportunity to go in and see the Gold Room for themselves!In comparison, Jacob’s small Bronze Room was now completely incomparable to the

Therefore, among all the people present here today, not one of them had even been up to the fifth floor of Glorious Club.Even Chester himself could only afford the lowest Classic membership tier at Glorious Club. Therefore, everyone naturally did not believe it when Jacob said that he had been to the tenth floor of Glorious Club before.Jacob really did not expect everyone to think that he was only bragging when he was simply telling them the truth. Therefore, he replied uncomfortably, “My son-in-law was the one who arranged for me and some of my old classmates to go up to the tenth floor of Glorious Club that night.”Chester laughed before he said, “I know who your son-in-law is. He is just a useless and casual son-in-law in Aurous Hill, isn’t it? I heard that he’s just a vagrant who is living off his wife. He’s almost as pathetic as you, so can he really afford to bring you to Glorious Club?”Jacob snorted coldly before he said, “It is entirely up to you whether you believe me

The expression on Jacob’s face was obviously very ugly after getting ridiculed by Chester.However, Jacob kept Morgan’s reminder in mind and he reminded himself that the most important thing was to win the position of the executive director at the end of the day. Therefore, he should not lose his temper and get angry at Chester.Jacob held back his anger and he did not say anything anymore. Instead, he simply followed the crowd of people as they followed Chester all the way to the Gold Room that he had already booked upstairs.As soon as they stepped into the Gold Room, everyone was very surprised as they admired the luxurious decorations in the Gold Room.At this time, one of the directors could not help but exclaim out loud, “It’s all thanks to Chester that we can get this opportunity to take a look at the Gold Room inside The Heaven Springs today!”Someone echoed, “Yes! Not too long ago, a friend of mine who had tens of millions of dollars wanted to book the Gold Room. However,

Jacob could only grit his teeth in anger.If he knew that Chester would be so vicious to keep insulting and humiliating him like this, Jacob would not have agreed to come up to the Gold Room at all.***Jacob was completely speechless and at a loss for words.At this time, Albert has just stopped his car at the entrance of The Heaven Springs.The first thing that he did after getting out of his car was to hurriedly ask the manager who opened the car door for him, “Is there a customer named Jacob Wilson who reserved one of the rooms at our restaurant today?”“Yes. He booked the Bronze Room No. 3.” The manager kept a careful record of the guests who came to the restaurant every day. Therefore, he naturally knew every single guest who booked a room at The Heaven Springs today.Albert nodded slightly before he hurriedly said, “Come. Come with me to the Bronze Room No. 3 now!”While he was still at Lord Moore’s birthday banquet, Master Wade had informed him that his father-in-law wo

Everyone turned around to look out the door as soon as they heard this voice. At this time, they saw Albert walking into the room with the manager.Chester naturally knew who Albert was. When he saw that Albert was here, he quickly stepped forward before he said respectfully, “Don Albert, why are you here personally?”Unexpectedly, Albert glanced at him with a cold expression on his face as he said, “Were you the one who called Mr. Wilson a pathetic fool earlier?”Chester was stunned at this time. What was happening? Did Albert know Jacob?As he thought about this, he hurriedly explained, “Don Albert, this is probably all just a misunderstanding. Both Jacob and I are members of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and we share a very good and close relationship with one another. Therefore, it’s only natural for us to ridicule and make fun of each other occasionally.”Albert frowned before he looked at Jacob and said respectfully, “Mr. Wilson, I really did not expect you to per

Albert pointed his finger at Chester before he instructed his men, “Guys, come over here! Drag this guy out and beat him up nicely! I want you to focus on hitting his filthy mouth!”When Chester heard Albert’s words, he was so scared and frightened that he immediately knelt down in front of Albert as he cried out, “Don Albert, I am so sorry! I really did not know that Jacob was your distinguished guest! It’s all my fault. I admit to my mistake and I apologize for my actions! Forgive me! Please forgive me this time!”Chester really did not expect Jacob’s son-in-law to be so amazing and incredible that even the underground mobster boss of Aurous Hill would actually be Jacob’s lapdog because of him!Before Chester could even continue begging for mercy, some of Albert’s men had already stepped forwards and slapped him across his face!Chester instantly felt dizzy and he fell to the ground when Albert’s bodyguards started punching and kicking him. He looked very pathetic and miserable a

The expression on Chester’s face changed drastically at this time. He was scared to death in an instant and he could not help but feel very desperate at this point!How could he possibly live and sleep with pigs? How could he possibly eat what pigs ate?That was too f*cking sick, wasn’t it?Besides that, the pigsty was a very messy and disgusting environment. Moreover, the smell of the pigs was also very nasty and smelly. He would definitely feel very sick if he was forced to sleep with all the dirty and smelly pigs!Furthermore, the food fed to the pigs were always leftovers. Due to the lack of air circulation and the sultry temperature in the pigsty, the leftover food fed to the pigs would usually be rotten within a few hours. What would happen to his health and body that he has taken such good care of for so many years if he had to eat this kind of food?He even has to live with the pigs for a week. He was afraid that he would belch for the whole entire week there!As he thoug

Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa

As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh

The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office

On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…

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
Chapter 6383
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
Chapter 6381
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
