As Charlie was watching television, Claire suddenly came up to him.When she saw that he was watching television, Claire sat down next to him.After that, Claire hesitated for a moment. Then, she asked him in a low voice, “Charlie, I want to ask you something. You have to answer truthfully, and you shouldn’t lie to me.”Charlie nodded before he said, “Go ahead and ask away, dear.”Claire handed the shopping receipt in her hand to Charlie before she asked him, “Why are there three sets of skincare products written on this receipt? It’s not that I do not trust you. However, I hope that you can just explain the situation to me.”When Charlie saw the shopping receipt, he was stunned for a moment. He quickly realized that Isaac must have placed the shopping receipt directly into one of the gift boxes after purchasing the skincare products. Charlie looked around, and when he saw that Elaine was not there, he whispered, “I will be honest, dear. In truth, Dad is the one who asked for a

While Nanako was visiting her mentor, Kazuki, she heard the news that Victoria, the Australian athlete that Aurora had defeated in the match today, was also currently receiving treatment at the Silverwing Hospital.Hiroshi had specifically gone to inquire about the matter, and he came back with results that truly shocked Nanako.It turned out that both of Victoria’s arms had been broken by Aurora’s kick during the match. Now, she had already put on a plaster cast, and she had already officially announced her withdrawal from the match to determine third place in the competition for the day after tomorrow. Michelle, the opponent that Nanako defeated, had immediately obtained the title of third place in the competition due to Victoria’s forfeiture.Moreover, Victoria not only withdrew from this competition, but there was a high possibility that she would be retiring completely.This was because the arms were very important for a combat and fighting athlete. After getting her arms brok

Jacob did not eat dinner at home that night.According to him, he was having dinner with several leaders of the Calligraphy and Painting Association as well as a few core members of the Senior University.Jacob called Charlie a little after nine o’clock.When Jacob called, Charlie was watching television with his wife in the living room.His mother-in-law, Elaine, had put on a caviar anti-aging facial mask as she lay down on the two-seater sofa in a leisurely manner while she scrolled through her online short video platform. As she was scrolling on her cell phone, she muttered, “Oh! That Japanese girl who came to Aurous Hill to participate in the combat and fighting championship has a pretty good appearance!”Charlie knew that she was definitely talking about Nanako. At this time, he did not say anything, but his cell phone had already started vibrating.When Charlie saw that it was a phone call from Jacob, he hurriedly answered the phone and said, “Hello, Dad.”Jacob sounded a

She was very excited, and she said to Charlie, “My good son-in-law, why didn’t Mom find out that you were so good in the past?”Charlie laughed, but he did not say anything. If he had known that he would be able to deal with a shrewd woman like Elaine simply by spending fifty thousand dollars a month, he would have spent that money a long time ago to save himself from all that trouble.At this time, Elaine was simply thinking of flattering Charlie, and she deliberately said to Claire, “Oh, Claire! You are already getting older, and you have already been married to Charlie for almost four years now. I say, it is also about time for both of you to have children already. Our family of four is living in such a big villa, it is indeed a little lonely and cold here. Wouldn’t it be livelier if there was a child running around in the villa?”As soon as Charlie heard these words, he was indeed very surprised!This was perfect!His mother-in-law truly thought of nothing else other than her
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1443
Claire never expected Charlie to use money to win her mother over.Even more unexpectedly, the effect of using money to win her mother over seemed to work very well indeed!Claire suddenly felt very embarrassed, and she truly felt like digging a hole and burying herself in it.At this time, when Elaine saw that Claire was not saying anything, she kept urging her from the side, “My good daughter, why don’t I bring you to see that old Oskian doctor tomorrow so that he can prescribe some medicine for you?”Claire felt completely helpless at this time, and she said embarrassedly, “Mom, stop talking nonsense!”Elaine replied solemnly, “How could you say that I am talking nonsense?! I also want to be able to carry my grandson as soon as possible!”Claire knew that if she did not leave now, her mother would definitely talk endlessly. Thus, she pushed Charlie hurriedly and said, “Let’s go and pick Dad up to bring him home now.”Charlie smiled as he nodded and said, “Then, we should go a

Charlie and Claire were still in the car, and they were still some distance away from the group of people. So, they could not hear exactly what they were talking about.However, by the looks of it, it was obvious that Matilda must have asked her son, Paul, to help her prepare a gift for Jacob in exchange.Claire felt even more depressed when she saw both of them exchanging gifts with one another. “Just look at Dad and Aunt Hall! Both of them are obviously acting more than just ordinary friends. They are more like a middle-aged and elderly couple in love!”Charlie nodded gently.He had already noticed a long time ago that both of them had a deep affection for each other. Matilda had even given Paul the middle name ‘Jamal’. This proved that she had never once forgotten about Jacob throughout all this time.As for Jacob, there was nothing else that needed to be said. After being oppressed by Elaine for so many years, he had already been missing and yearning for Matilda for a long tim

Jacob thought that he and Charlie were the only two people in the car. Charlie was not only his son-in-law, but he was also the person he trusted the most.Therefore, he was not guarded against Charlie at all. He was also not afraid that Charlie would find out about the things that were going on between him and Matilda.At this moment, as he was unpacking the gift, Jacob sighed as he said, “Oh, my dear son-in-law, do you know how popular your Aunt Hall is at the Senior University? Those who are interested in her range from young people between the age of thirty to forty years old, to old men between the age of sixty to seventy years old. It is simply a huge number, and I cannot count the number of people who like her at all! If I don’t pay more attention to it, I am afraid that the situation will end badly for me, then.”Charlie laughed awkwardly as he tried to change the subject by saying, “Dad, you must have drunk quite a bit during dinner tonight, right? Why don’t you stop talkin

Charlie stretched out his right hand to cover half of his face because he truly did not know how to respond to his stupid father-in-law anymore.At this time, Jacob answered the call, and he said casually, “Hello, Claire. I am already with Charlie, and we are on our way home now.”Suddenly, he heard Claire’s angry voice sounding from the backseat, “Dad! You truly disappoint me!”Jacob yelped in shock. As he was not holding his cell phone firmly, it slipped from his hand and fell into the gap.He did not even bother picking up his cell phone. Instead, he simply turned around as he stared at Claire in horror. “Cla… Claire?! You… why are you in the car too?!”Claire asked in a huff, “Why can’t I be in the car? If I was not in the car, I would never have known that you were cheating on Mom behind her back!”Jacob felt very aggrieved, and he blurted out, “Oh! Claire, don’t talk nonsense. When did I ever cheat on your mom?!”Claire replied, “You and Aunt Hall are already at the point

Ares LLP was the biggest law firm in the States, and only the best of the best were recruited as associates.If Jimmy got to pick ten of their partners, he was basically taking a huge chunk out of their human resources.Moreover, the partners' salaries would be very expensive. With Jimmy included, eleven of them meant over a hundred million US dollars at minimum. Ares would definitely be maimed if they had to pay that much money while losing ten of their elites! Naturally, Jimmy didn't feel confident about achieving that, and he asked Charlie, "Mr. Wade… Don't you think it's too much? Would Nate even agree to that?"Charlie shrugged. "Of course he won't agree if you're the one asking, but he would definitely say yes if it were Julien."Julien almost rolled his eyes.The man was truly ruthless, ready to inflict so much damage at the drop of a hat.Worst of all, he was going to play the villain for Charlie.Still, he said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade! I will pressure him

However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e

The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi

And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J

Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h

Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des

As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside

Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e

Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
