The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 775
When Lady Wilson heard Christopher asking her to either sell off their furniture or their antiques, she could not help but feel a little angry.She said angrily, “I can bear to sell the furniture but don’t even think about selling my antiques! Those antiques are the only thing that your father left behind as my retirement fund before he died!”Christopher hurriedly persuaded, “Mom, the most important thing is to make sure that we live well and survive while we’re still alive! Why do you want to keep the antiques for? Are you going to bring those antiques with you to meet my father when you die?”“Don’t talk rubbish here!” Lady Wilson cursed angrily as she shouted, “What do you know? These furniture in our house are already registered with the bank. When the bank comes over here to seal up the Wilson family villa, they’ll definitely take this batch of furniture with them. However, the bank doesn’t know anything about the antiques that we have! These antiques will be able to save our

However, in order to live and not to get beaten up or go hungry, Hannah could only choose to compromise and give in.At this time, the Wilson family did not know that she was actually suffering and enduring such humiliation.They actually thought that she was actually living at a five star hotel as she was being served by a lover who was about twenty years younger than her.Therefore, even though Lady Wilson was cursing and insulting Hannah in front of Christopher and Hannah’s son and daughter, they simply listened without saying anything at all. They did not get angry but they also felt a lot of anger and dissatisfaction in their hearts at this time.The person who felt the most miserable at this time was none other than Christopher.For Christopher, he had not only lost all of his family’s wealth, but he had also lost his wife. He could not help but wonder all day if Hannah was actually enjoying herself with all sorts of young men outside since she had so much money with her. Sh

Early the next morning, Charlie and his family had breakfast before they drove to Furniture City.Even after thinking for the entire night, Elaine could not think of a way to take the money from Jacob’s bank account at all. She could not help but feel very anxious when she saw that they were about to spend the two million dollars.At the same time, Lady Wilson and all of her family members were also up very early that morning.After they were done with breakfast, the truck arrived in front of their villa.The workers started to load up the Lexington sofa set from the Wilson family villa into the truck before they set off towards Furniture City with the Wilson family members.There was a large scale Furniture City in the west of Aurous Hill, with almost all the furniture sellers in Aurous Hill gathered here.There were all sorts of furniture from the low, middle, and high grade here at Furniture City. Therefore, this was the best place for them to shop for their furniture.Jacob

“A living room measuring more than one hundred square meters?” The salesman was dumbfounded after listening to Jacob’s answer. After that, he could not help but blurt out, “That is too huge, isn’t it?”Jacob chuckled before he said, “My house is the biggest villa at Thompson First. So, how could the living room possibly be small?”The salesman was shocked at this time and he hurriedly said, “Sir, you have such a big living room that it would only be natural for you to buy more furniture so the living room will look less empty!”After that, the salesman hurriedly led him to a Lexington sofa set before he said, “Sir, this is our 3 + 2 + 2 + 1 Lexington sofa set which is custom-made for all of our villa owners. This Lexington sofa set can seat up to eight people! It is very elegant and classy, and it can fit all of your guests when they visit your house.”Jacob stepped forward to touch the armrest of the sofa. He was very satisfied with the smooth feel of the sofa set. At this time, h

Jacob was very confused by the boss’s question.He was obviously here to buy furniture. Who said that he was here to sell some furniture?Therefore he quickly told the boss, “I’m here to buy furniture. Do you understand me?”The salesman hurriedly stepped forward as he said, “Boss, this gentleman here is here to buy a Lexington sofa set.”After he was done speaking, he hurriedly pointed a finger at Christopher who had just stepped into the shop before he said, “This gentleman here is the one who is here to sell his furniture.”The boss quickly realized his mistake and he hurriedly told Jacob, “Oh, I’m so sorry! I’ve made a mistake.”After that, he looked at Christopher before he asked, “Sir, are you here to sell your furniture?”When Christopher heard that Jacob was here to buy some furniture, he really wanted to turn around and leave immediately.After all, he really did not want Jacob to treat him as a joke.However, this furniture shop was the largest Lexington furniture sh

After that, Christopher could not be bothered with Jacob anymore. He simply looked at the boss as he said, “Please come with me to see the sofa set!”“Okay!” The boss nodded slightly before he walked out of the furniture shop with Christopher.Lady Wilson frowned as she glared at Jacob and asked coldly, “What are you doing here?”Even though Jacob had already cut off all ties and relationship with this old lady, on the bright side, she was still his mother anyway. Therefore, he still had some respect for her when he saw her.At this time, Jacob replied respectfully, “Mom, the renovation for Charlie’s villa has already been completed. We’re here to buy some furniture so we can move into the villa as soon as possible.”Jacob was simply telling the truth but when the words reached Lady Wilson’s ears, she felt so uncomfortable that it felt as though someone was slapping her across her face!At this point, she was about to get driven out of her villa and she was so desperate that she

“Enough!” Lady Wilson was very angry and she yelled violently as she glared at Elaine before she cursed and said, “You b*tch! So what if the Wilson family is in despair right now? We’ll definitely have a chance to rise again sooner or later. When that day comes, it will be completely impossible for me to accept you back into the Wilson family even if you beg me to accept you!”Jacob hurriedly said to Elaine, “Elaine! How could you speak to Mom like this? Hurry up and apologize to her now!”Elaine frowned as she stared at Jacob and said coldly, “Have you forgotten that this old woman drove you out of the Wilson family? Are you starting to defend her and protect her again? You may treat her as your mother but has she ever treated you as her own son?”After she was done speaking, Elaine pointed at Lady Wilson before she said coldly, “Old lady, I hope that you can get your facts right and figure out the exact situation that you’re in right now. Are you still pretending as though you’re

The salesman nodded slightly before he said, “You can come back here again if you want to buy the sofa set from us.”When they turned around, Lady Wilson had already disappeared with the rest of her family.Jacob went to several shops selling Lexington wood furniture but he did not see any sofa sets that he liked.Elaine felt very anxious at this time and so, she proposed that they should just buy the other furniture for the bedroom and dining room first. Otherwise, they would have just made a wasted trip to the Furniture City today.Jacob also felt that it was not feasible for them to continue wasting time like this. Therefore, they went to check out the other shops instead.Elaine chose a bed that cost tens of thousands of dollars for herself whereas Claire simply chose a bedroom set that cost about ten thousand dollars. At this time, they also bought some furniture such as wardrobes, a dining table, and so forth for the bedrooms and the living room.They even bought all the ho

Unable to nitpick on the air stewardess' response, Elaine pouted, "Well, try to ask management to improve on your first-class cabins anyway. Maybe even make a premium-class or something since it's not like we can't afford it."The air stewardess quickly said, "We will definitely relay your message to the management."Nodding in satisfaction, Elaine waved her off. "Alright. You can go back to work now."Clearly relieved, the air stewardess bowed her head respectfully. "Always happy to be of service."After the air stewardess left, Jacob asked Elaine in curiosity, "Was the private jet that good?"Elaine rolled her eyes. "Didn't you see the stuff I posted in the chat group?""Not really," Jacob blurted. Elaine was ready to snap at him for not caring, but considering that they had made up now and she shouldn't fuss too much over the little things, she snorted, "Just remember to like and comment on all my posts in the chat group, otherwise, I will make you regret it!""No problem!"

While the ten collectors were taking turns studying the bronze sculpture, Jacob and Elaine were boarding their flight.As they were flying first-class, they had priority over the other passengers and boarded from the separate plug door at the first-class section.The capacity of the Boeing 777 was huge, and the wide-body aircraft could be connected to a special double corridor bridge where first class and business class passengers boarded separately from the economy class passengers.As the terminals to economy class and business class were connected, Elaine and Jacob were able to get through the first-class terminal unimpeded, but the passengers in economy class had a queue of over two hundred passengers. Even as she walked, Elaine was looking over her shoulder and exclaiming at Jacob, "Must be nice being rich! We used to have to queue like the rest of them, waiting for over thirty minutes just to board our flight." "In first class, we may be in the same plane, but we don't hav

Meanwhile, once Raymond had briefed everyone about the rules, he opened the door and invited everyone into Treasure Measure.It was not that wide but appeared spacious since the interior was mostly empty—it was not really crowded even with thirty-ish people.Then, locking the door from the inside, Raymond told them, "I can tell from everyone's faces that we are all veterans here, so I'm sure you understand the rules while appraising: no photos or videos, thank you very much."Indeed, there were many rules that governed the hobby, the most important being respecting the seller's requests and privacy.As the collectors listened, they knew that Raymond was selling but did not want the public to know too much about him.They all nodded, and those who had their phones out slid them back into their pockets.With that, Raymond took out the bronze sculpture that he had brought, leaving Trippy a little surprised.He had never seen the bronze sculpture with his own eyes before, only from

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma
