The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 819
As soon as they arrived at the Aurous Police Station, Elaine was taken directly to the interrogation room at the Regional Crime Unit.She trembled in shock when she saw the words ‘Regional Crime Unit’ print on the door.Elaine was on the verge of collapse as she was dragged to the interrogation room like a defeated hen in a cockfight.The officers pushed her down on the chair in the interrogation room and shone the incandescent light on her face.In front of her were several officers from the crime unit.One of them started in a cold voice, “Elaine Wilson, you are now the first and only suspect in an overseas high-tech criminal gang. I advise you to be truthful and tell us everything about your criminal process. Otherwise, what awaits are the fair trial and justice.”Elaine started wailing again. “Officers, I swear, you get the wrong person! Charlie Wade is the suspect… no, he is a criminal, I am a law-abiding citizen. I stole the card from his jacket, it wasn’t me!”“Do you thi

The three detention centers in Aurous Police Station served their respective purpose. One was for detaining male suspects and one was for female suspects, while the other was for juvenile suspects.After the four members of the Wilson were arrested, they were sent to two detention centers, with Lady Wilson and Wendy sent to the women’s detention center while Christopher and Harold were sent to the men’s detention center.Lady Wilson felt itchy and tingling when she first entered the cell. She sat on the thin bed, recalling her recent tragic happenings.This period of time was the greatest and most devastating catastrophe for Lady Wilson and the Wilson family. All her hard work and assets had been confiscated by the court, her own son refused to let her live in the Thompson First villa, and he had even called the police to arrest her! She was getting more and more irritated as she thought about it.Sitting cross-legged on the bed, she slapped the bed in despair and wailed loudly, “A

Jennifer’s remark immediately aroused the anger of the people around her! They started to cheer with righteous indignation!Although everyone was a prisoner, the people here generally had not committed serious crimes nor were they wicked people. They had an instinctive sympathy towards the old and weak.When they looked at Lady Wilson with her grayish hair and wrinkled face talking about her pathetic life in the sobbing tone, they couldn’t help but believe her words.Hence, everyone started condemning the ‘perpetrators’ in unison.“How dare they abandon such an old mother? They are nothing but a bunch of scumbags!”“You’re right! They get to live in a million-dollar villa but they can’t even spare an empty room for the old lady. They are so disgusting!”“Ma’am, don’t worry, karma’s a b*tch and it will haunt your d*mned daughter-in-law soon!”Tears drenched Lady Wilson’s face. “Thank you for your concern and support, thank you so much! I didn’t expect to meet so many good people

However, the officer told her that since she was the prime suspect of a major transnational case, she was not allowed to meet or contact her family, or even hire a lawyer for the time being before the case was tried.The wrath of fury was burning violently inside Elaine, but she couldn’t vent it out.After entering the high wall of the detention center, the officer immediately took Elaine to go through detention formalities.It was quite a complicated and complex procedure. Her pictures had to be taken and her identity verified. Next, she had to take off all her clothes and belongings and hand them to the staff, then put on the prisoner uniform and take the daily necessities provided.After Elaine changed into the prisoner uniform, the officers who brought her here had already left. From then on, everything about her was to be managed by the detention center.A female prison guard brought her into the prison area, and as protocol, she explained while walking, “This is a twenty-per

Elaine was shocked when she heard the voice.She turned around and she saw Lady Wilson sitting cross-legged on the bed as she pointed her finger and cursed at her.Lady Wilson really did not expect to see Elaine at the detention center.Furthermore, Elaine was wearing the same prison uniform as herself in the detention center. It seemed as though she had just been arrested for committing a crime!Elaine was also very flustered after seeing Lady Wilson and Wendy.She really did not expect to be placed into the same cell as the both of them.She had just been wishing that she would not end up in the same cell as the both of them but she never expected herself to be so unfortunate.Therefore, she hurriedly yelled out of the small window on the iron gate while the prison guard was still nearby. “Comrade! Officer! Can you please switch me to another cell instead? I do not want to be in the same cell as these people!”The prison guard simply replied, “Do you really think that this de

When she saw that she had already achieved her purpose, Lady Wilson quickly burst into tears as she hit her own legs and started wailing, “I have been so miserable in this life! My family is really so unfortunate to have this kind of vicious daughter-in-law! I am already about to die, but my daughter-in-law is still yelling at me and reprimanding me!”Jennifer could not tolerate it anymore when she saw the old lady crying.She suddenly recalled the tragic appearance of her mother who had been sent to the hospital after drinking a whole bottle of pesticide. She did not die at that time, but the doctor had told her that her mother could no longer be saved because her lungs had already become irreversibly fibrotic after taking in such a large amount of pesticides.At that time, her mother had also been crying as miserably as this as she lay on the bed. Jennifer could not help but shed some tears as she thought of that heartbreaking scene.Since Elaine had forced and pushed this old la

While Elaine was suffering in the detention center, Charlie received a phone call from Isaac.As soon as the phone call was connected, Isaac said, “Young master, Elaine has already been locked up in the detention center. I have also arranged for her to be placed in the same cell as the old lady of the Wilson family and Wendy as per your wishes.”Charlie asked, “Have you already greeted the prison guard?”Isaac replied, “Yes, I have already asked my subordinates to greet the person-in-charge of the detention center. No one will bother butting in or doing anything even when Elaine is getting tortured in the detention center.”“Okay.” Charlie replied coldly, “I want her to suffer a little more inside!”Isaac hurriedly asked, “Young Master, do you want me to arrange for a few people to go into the detention center to get rid of Elaine directly? This way, she would never be able to provoke you again.”Charlie hesitated for a moment before he said, “Don’t worry. Let me see how things a

The prison guard took a step back before he pulled his leg out of Elaine’s grasp. After that, he simply told the two women who were supposed to collect the food, “Hurry up and come with me.”Both of them hurried forward as they followed closely behind the prison guard.Elaine felt very desperate and helpless.As soon as the prison guard closed the door behind him, Jennifer walked toward Elaine with a dark expression on her face. She ground her teeth as she said angrily, “The one with the last name Parker! You are really very bold! You actually dared to tell on me?”Elaine felt as though she was about to collapse! She quickly pleaded, “Sorry! Sorry! I must have been a little confused. Please let me off and forgive me this time!”“Forgive you?” Jennifer raised her hand and gave Elaine a tight slap across her face. Elaine felt a little dizzy as soon as she was slapped.Lady Wilson walked over to Elaine and gritted her teeth as she stepped directly on Elaine’s fingers and cursed, “Yo

Jacob wasn't really concerned with the invitation. He wouldn't be going anyway, and he wouldn't tell Elaine about it.Right now, he had a question.After hanging up on Walker, he asked curiously, "A designated driver would be just a few dozen bucks at most. Why get Walker?"Mr. Bay sighed meaningfully. "Jacob, my boy—it's not just my job description you must handle when you succeed me. You must understand the unspoken rules of the workplace as well as interpersonal relationships."Raising his right index finger, he chuckled, "Earning the loyalty of subordinates is a science. But it has to be a carrot and stick—never just the carrot, while offering them chances to be of service.""Take Walker, for example. As his boss, buying him lunch is 5 points. Ask for a favor, but it's 50 points instead!""As a leader, you should also make sure to give requests that are reasonable. That way, they will consider you to be their ally, or soon enough.""People are strange that way—psychology sim

Jacob certainly agreed with Mr. Bay. When going to a dinner where alcohol would be involved, having a designated driver would be most convenient.Still, Jacob had another plan in mind.Since he had a Cullinan and this was the perfect chance to show off, it would kill him not to drive."Actually, we should go on our own," Jacob told Mr. Bay right then. "We will take my car and get a designated driver to take us home. We can hang out in the backseat to chat—I mean, you'd be in a bad mood if you get a bad driver, bringing a car that stinks of tobacco. You know how bad it can get."Mr. Bay nodded cheerfully. "Alright! I'm counting on you!""Oh, it's only right!"Coming to an agreement, they hurried outside, with Jacob driving and Mr. Bay riding shotgun.They were having a pleasant conversation when Jacob suddenly got a call from Walker, who was his sub at Senior University.Answering with the in-car Bluetooth system, he said, "Hey, Walker. What's up?""Mr. Wilson! I'm done with cl

As such, Albert did not hesitate to say right then, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilson—since they are your friends, I will offer the half-price rebate as you've suggested! When the guests take their seats, I'll personally deliver a couple of nice bottles over as a token of my sincerity!"Oskia truly sets the bar when it comes to being humanistic.There were times when one must show due respect, but not too much either in case it changed the status quo.It was just like a couple eating out with a third-wheel.Even if the third-wheel was better off and happily took the check as the girl watched, there would inevitably be competitiveness. The generosity might even lead to the girl getting attracted to the third-wheel.As such, since Jacob was actually secondary in importance at the event, Albert would have to make sure not to rain on the host's parade while showing his respects to Jacob. Otherwise, the host may hold a grudge against Jacob even if everything was free of charge.And when it cam

Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,

Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min

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…
