As he spoke, Jacob glared at Elaine before he said, “We placed the two million dollars in your custody. When the time comes, I will sue you and ask you for half of that money in court! You will be legally responsible for it if you cannot take the money out at that time!”“You…” Elaine really did not expect Jacob to be so heartless and cruel!Was he really going to divorce her and ask her to split their properties and assets between them? What was she going to do if he was really going to sue her for the money? She was already old and she had no money at all. How was she going to continue living if Jacob really wanted to divorce her?Elaine could not help but feel a little anxious and nervous as she thought about this.She softened her voice immediately and she hurriedly said, “Oh, my dear husband, why are you so mad at me? The both of us have already endured so much difficulties and sufferings together for the past twenty years. Are you really going to turn your back on me now?”

Elaine was utterly shocked by Jacob’s raucous grunt!She knew that, at this moment, she couldn’t keep the secret anymore, so she mumbled in a sheepish and shaky voice, “Dear, I’m sorry, I lost all our money in the mahjong…”She didn’t dare to tell the truth about Hannah being the mastermind behind the scam, because she knew that if the Wilson family knew about her involvement in the scam despite being a victim, they would come to her first since they were looking for Hannah frantically. Of course, she was not doing this to protect Charlie, she simply didn’t want to invite trouble for herself. All those people were reported as missing persons after Albert sent them to the coal mine, she feared that she might be dragged into this mess if an investigation was executed regarding their missing status.Thus, she could only say that she lost the money on gambling but not the scamming part.Jacob was up in arms about her confession that she lost more than two million in mahjong that he s

Moreover, Claire’s parents were at the age when they got each other for support as they grew old. They would not be happy if they divorced now.More importantly, where would they stay after the divorce? Even though they had two houses now, she always felt that the villa was an unstable constant as it was a gift obtained from Charlie’s deception, the original owner might take it back someday.So, what would happen then? Did she really want her parents to leave the marriage with nothing? Besides, she had just started her business venture. Thanks to Charlie and his friends’ support, her business was slowly going on track, but her company hadn’t earned any significant money yet and she didn’t have the money to buy a house for any of her parents as their retirement home. If they divorced now, the family would break apart.So, she cleared her throat and pleaded in a sobbing tone, “Dad, Mom already apologized to you, let bygones be bygones, can you forgive her this time, please?” She qui

On the balcony, Claire hugged Elaine tightly and cried, “Mom, please forgive dad, he is in a black mood right now. Give him some time, he will okay after this. Please, come down, will you?”Elaine climbed on the window and cried loudly, “Girl, don’t stop me, tonight will be the night I die! From now on, during the holidays, don’t forget to burn some money for me, don’t be like Charlie who doesn’t do so to his dead parents! His parents were so broke down there they had to come to him in his dream to remind him about it…” Charlie’s face turned into an irritating shade of green when he heard it!Elaine oh Elaine, you bloody woman, you still remembered the one hundred million dollar cheque that I received from Jasmine and accidentally gave you, it was so close!Luckily you didn’t buy it and came back to pick a fight with me. If you managed to cash the one million dollar cheque, I bet you would be so pompous that you thought you were a goddess!This incident indicated that you didn’t

Claire almost fainted from all the preposterous scenes.Her mother wanted to commit suicide when her dad wanted a divorce, but in the middle of the commotion, she picked a fight with someone who they only heard his voice, cursing such ear-piercing expletives…Jacob was also a little flustered.He knew that Elaine could be very ferocious verbally, but he didn’t expect it to be so ruthless…If he insisted on divorcing her, would she spend the rest of her life crying and cursing in front of him? It would be a horrifying living hell!Jacob sighed dejectedly and thought, ‘Damn, it seems that the divorce plan doesn’t go as planned. Besides, I won’t dare to now…’After winning the raucous debate at the balcony, Elaine felt a bit relaxed. Leaning against the railing, she thought for a few minutes, then, she climbed down, sweeping the dust off her body, and walked back to the house.“Jacob Wilson, you can get a divorce, here’s my term. I get the house, you have to pay fifty thousand
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 757
Seeing that Jacob was hesitating, Elaine hurriedly shifted into a flattering mode and said, “Dear, we can still earn money! Claire’s company is starting to grow, so when her business starts to make money, she will give you all her money for safekeeping, and you will be the financial power of our family, okay?” Jacob started to feel a little relieved when he heard the idea. He figured that since he couldn’t be in the upper hand now, it would end up bad if he bumped his head against her, hence, the better option right now was to compromise and accept the proposed solution.Elaine, on the other hand, was thinking, ‘Jacob Wilson, you’ll never be able to escape my grip! I put you in charge of the family’s finances because we don’t have any money now, you are nothing but a puppet. When we have money in the future, I will snatch the power back!’She was extremely delighted as she thought of it, so she started, “Dear, you are the best! I’ll cook tomorrow and make your favorite braised praw

“Alright, I’ll take a shower.”***Meanwhile, as Charlie and Claire lay on the bed preparing to sleep, a heavy-lift helicopter flew by the Sudbury sky, soaring loudly. After spending two hours on the helicopter, Donald and Sean Webb finally arrived above the exclusive mansion in Sudbury. All the Webb family members were waiting on the big lawn of the mansion including Kian and his mother who were waiting by the side of the lawn. They already knew about the unfortunate incident in Aurous Hill and were eager to greet and comfort them.As the helicopter slowly descended, warm tears drenched Donald and Sean’s eyes as they saw their family waiting on the ground.The incidents that had happened in Aurous Hill were like purgatory which caused great suffering and misery to both of them.They were filled with relief and warmth now that they had finally returned home!As the helicopter landed and the door opened, the servants hurriedly rushed forward to help Donald, Sean, Johnny, and

At this moment, Lord Webb was lying weakly in the ICU room of his luxurious mansion. Wires and cables scattered on his body like a million worms. The ECG monitor, blood pressure machine, blood oximeter, and so on were hooked to his body to monitor his condition round the clock. In fact, in order to sustain the old man’s condition, the doctors infused nutrient solutions through a tube and installed an oxygen inhalation system for him.The TikTok video was such a disastrous blow to Lord Webb that it triggered a severe heart attack instantly. Couple with his old age, he wasn’t physically and mentally strong enough to withstand the blow that he succumbed to a heart attack. It was fortunate that it didn’t escalate to a full-blown myocardial infarction.The old man was lying in bed, angrily cursing, when Donald, Sean, Kean, Derrick, and the rest of the family members came into the ICU room.“Those two shameless bastards, how dare they openly insult my family! If I don’t kill them, the W

Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega

Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade

Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd

Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki

Neither Charlie nor the Ackers expected Yolden's insight to cover all corners.In fact, it felt like the man had a blueprint ready and was only waiting for the time to put it to use.That was why everyone was immensely approving of Yolden and wanted no other man for the job of CEO.Kaeden smiled, "Well, since everyone has agreed, let's put this to rest as soon as possible—this will be a joint investment between our family and the Wades, and Professor Hart will take the post of CEO. Let's all do our best to make this a good one!"Yolden also made up his mind, deciding that he didn't want to let slip a chance to realize his ambitions. "I'll resign from the university after my honeymoon trip. It probably shouldn't be long, and I can get involved in early preparations via teleconference."Charlie nodded. "Then, we can have Uncle Kaeden stay on schedule while I'll ask the Wades to send a representative over to sign a memorandum for the investment."Keith smiled and nodded. "You should

Charlie hadn't been born and raised in Aurous Hill, but he still started living here at the age of eight and was more attached to this place than Eastcliff.If he was going to take part in this automotive investment with the Ackers, he naturally found Aurous Hill the ideal location.Not only would it create a huge number of jobs for Aurous Hill, but it would also rake in much economic flow for the region.Yolden also nodded at his suggestion. "If the first plant is meant to cover the demand of the entire local market, there's no reason for a coastal plant. Aurous Hill stands at an intersection between the north and the south, so transportation is convenient. It's also killing two birds with one stone, as Mr. Wade is fond of the city."Charlie couldn't help but agree. "I won't lie—Aurous Hill has been good to me, and I hope to give back. Nothing's better than succeeding in that respect."Yolden spread his hands, "Heavy industries are certainly ideal to contribute to Aurous Hill's e

Yolden had actually been researching new energy for a while—in fact, it was when Tesla's first car models were produced.He was passionate about the subject and had his own opinions as well as ambitions, but he was busy teaching, so he couldn't realize any of it.But was this not a golden opportunity tailor-made for him?Seeing that Yolden was clearly interested, Charlie turned toward Kaeden, "Actually, the professor is getting married soon. There's no way we'd split up newlyweds so soon after the wedding, right? So, is it possible to set up base in Aurous Hill instead?""Not a problem!" Kaeden replied without hesitation. "Our family is planning to return to Oskia anyway, and everyone knows about Ashley and Curtis. So, why don't we invest in this enterprise alongside the Wades and have the base set up in Aurous Hill? And then bring Godot under as a subsidiary?"Turning to Yolden, he continued, "By the way, Godot's plant is already in the province—barely 100 miles from Aurous Hill,
