The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1573
Charlie had brought more than one Rejuvenating Pill with him to Eastcliff this time.Although he was certain that one pill would be enough to cure Yule, he had brought extra pills just to be on the safe side.From the looks of it, in the divination that the old man had given him, the only way out from the stalemate was the Rejuvenating Pill.Meanwhile, he couldn’t help but ponder the old man’s words.It seemed that the dragon stranding formation had manifested when he married Claire in Aurous Hill.The elder said that the reason why he was stranded in a rut was because he had started a family by the river. Aurous Hill was located next to the Yaak River, which corresponded to his aforementioned statement.Moreover, he had had a tough life until the sudden appearance of Stephen Thompson last spring, which had brought him a turn for the better fortune.However, the greatest gift he had obtained was not to be found again by the Wade family, but to obtain the by ch

Charlie said in a serious tone, “You’ve helped me, so I’m simply returning the favor. Take this pill, and it should extend your lifespan by ten years.”Although the elder had no idea what the Rejuvenating Pill was, he repeatedly nodded in excitement. He threw his cane and got to his knees slowly before raising his hands above his head.Charlie put the pill in his hands, helped him up, and said, “Sir, take it now. At your age, you might not look any different physically after taking it, but the real effect of the pill should be felt by someone with great wisdom like you.”The elder was so grateful that he blurted, “Thank you, Mr. Wade!”Without hesitation, he put the Rejuvenating Pill into his mouth.After that, he closed his eyes and stood as still as a statue for about a minute.One minute later, he slowly opened his tearful eyes. He turned to look at Charlie, knelt down again, and choked, “Mr. Wade, this medicine is truly a miracle elixir! Thank you for saving my life!”Charli

Hearing that Chandler was preparing to return to the United States for his retirement, Charlie bowed at him and said with a smile, “In that case, I wish you happiness and health for the rest of your life!”Chandler returned the salute and said, somewhat flattered, “I’m grateful for your blessing, Mr. Wade!”Then, he hesitated for a moment before speaking, “Mr. Wade, I have a piece of advice for you, I hope you don’t mind.”Charlie quickly said, “Of course not. Please say it, Mr. Lennard!”Chandler said, “Although the dragon stranding predicament has been broken, you should not remain by the river or ford.”Charlie asked, “Then, where do you think I should go?”Chandler replied with the utmost respect, “In my opinion, you should return to Eastcliff because this is the capital of our country. In terms of the city’s Feng Shui layout, it is the city with the best formation, and your return here could be described as a dragon entering its nature in terms of Feng Shui.”Charlie smiled

When Lord Wade invited Chandler back from abroad, he had arranged for him to live in the Wade family mansion, even providing him with the best hospitality they could offer.However, after Mount Wintry had been built, Chandler insisted on moving out of the Wade family mansion and living there.Lord Wade was reluctant to let Chandler live in the Wade family’s ancestral tomb even though it was very well built with living quarters for the staff to work and live. Lord Wade felt that he could not let such an old man as Chandler live there.Even though Lord Wade had tried to stop Chandler, Chandler still insisted on moving over. The main reason was that he had been waiting for his precious opportunity, for the exit gate in his fortune-telling, to open. He had been waiting for Charlie to appear and give him the Rejuvenating Pill that could prolong his life for ten years.Now that the opportunity he had been waiting for for four years had come, it was time to go.So, he said to the head

Charlie smiled in response to Yule’s remark and said, “I have many things to attend to in Aurous Hill, so I have to go back.”Yule nodded gently and said with a sigh, “Please come to Eastcliff often to visit us. My wife and I are looking forward to your return to Eastcliff.”Charlie simply hummed and didn’t say anything more.Yule tacitly dropped the subject and asked, “Charlie, you said you were going to your friend’s grandmother’s birthday banquet tomorrow. Have you prepared a gift?”Charlie replied, “Not yet. I plan to hit the streets to look for it later.”Although Charlie had the Rejuvenating Pill that was a significant and precious gift to the elderly, he couldn’t give Loreen’s grandmother such an expensive gift for her birthday since he had never even met her before. Therefore, he planned to buy a gift with a price range of a hundred thousand to show his sincerity.Hearing that, Yule laughed and said, “I have a small painting at home—it is Henri Matisse’s Portrait de Famil

Charlie rubbed his nose awkwardly as he answered, “Uhm… I’m your best friend’s husband!”Loreen replied in a somewhat indifferent tone, “I know. A fake husband and a fake marriage for four years. I wonder how much longer this make-believe game will last.”Just when they were chatting, a limited edition Bentley drove up to the front of the villa and stopped beside them. The back seat window was wound down, and a luxuriously dressed woman poked her head out of the window. The woman looked at Loreen and asked, “Loreen, why are you out here?”As soon as Loreen saw the woman, she hurriedly smiled and said, “Oh, auntie! Where is uncle?”The woman in the car answered, “He’s busy with his work. He’ll come at noon before the banquet starts.”Loreen continued, “Where’s cuz?”The woman sighed and replied, “I haven’t seen him since last night. Argh, I’m so pissed. He is so stubborn! It wasn’t long after his surgery that he started to stay out all night again. Talk to him, will you?”Loreen

Charlie didn’t know who Loreen’s cousin was, but he didn’t find it weird to bump into an arrogant rich kid or two since he was in Eastcliff. The place was known for having a lot of rich people, and eight or nine out of ten over-privileged rich kids would turn out to be obnoxious and cocky.When he and Loreen arrived at the entrance of the Thomas family’s house, the front porch and garage were already full of all kinds of luxury cars.Two men were warmly welcoming and greeting the guests outside the door, and Loreen hurried forward and said, “Dad, uncle, let me introduce you to my friend from Aurous Hill, Charlie Wade.”The men sized Charlie up, and Loreen’s uncle replied, “I haven’t heard of any Wade family members in Aurous Hill.”Loreen quickly explained, “Oh, Charlie is not from any family. He was my college mate.”Back then, Lord Wilson signed Charlie up into a one-year program at Aurous University where he was not only Claire’s classmate but also Loreen’s.Loreen didn’t stat

With a cold expression, Loreen stated, “Dad, I’m not interested. Please don’t ask me again to get to know him!”With that, she looked at Charlie and added, “Charlie, let’s go inside!”“You!” Javier chided angrily. “Why are you so stubborn? If you could be with the young master of the Golding family, you wouldn’t have to go to Aurous Hill anymore!”Subconsciously, Loreen took a glimpse at Charlie again before she responded to her father in a stern voice, “I like Aurous Hill! I will definitely look for a husband there!”Javier rebuked, “What are you talking about? There is no prominent family in Aurous Hill! How can you find a suitable candidate there? Besides, how can my daughter marry a man from such a sh*thole?”Disappointed, Loreen answered, “Dad, why have you become so snobbish now?”“I’m snobbish?” Javier growled. “I’m doing this for your own good!”At this moment, Loreen’s uncle spoke up, “That’s enough, Javier. Don’t rush it. Let Loreen go in with her friend.”Since his b

The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6608
Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6607
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.

Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6605
If Charlie really did get Jimmy to stay, who knew what other rubbish Jimmy would spout.As for Jimmy, he was actually surprised Charlie was asking him to stay, and his instincts told him that Charlie definitely didn't mean well.Not only that, he was on foreign soil—wouldn't he be defenseless if Charlie called in his friends to beat him up?Hence, he shook his head without hesitation as he said, "I'm sorry, but my sister-in-law is quite keen for me to leave, so I have no reason to stay and add to her problems. And it is her big day. I can afford to let her save face instead of spilling the beans on her all at once.""Oh, but you were complaining about the lack of important people just now!" Charlie quickly interjected. "It just so happens that we have a big-shot on his way here, and he's a good friend of the groom. When I told him about you over the phone, he said to keep you here no matter what it took, since he would like to talk to you face to face."Jimmy frowned. "What, are y
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6604
And with those words, Jimmy turned to leave.Despite threatening Matilda, there was no such agreement, and he knew that Matilda was well aware of that.Regardless, the only strategy he had in mind when he came to Oskia was harassment. As such, he simply came up with a lie to make Matilda look bad in public. All it took from there was just for one person to relay what he had said—even if it were all lies, Matilda's character would still be called into question.He made himself very clear so that Matilda would understand that if she didn't give in, his family would keep hounding her to take their two pounds of flesh. Even if she wouldn't surrender the stateside estates and human resources of Smith Group Corporate Law, they would still claim a sizable chunk.But if that failed too, they would just have to destroy Matilda's reputation along with Smith Group Corporate Law.Either way, they were not letting her off easy!And reading that much from Jimmy's behavior, Matilda snapped co
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6603
Jimmy didn't expect Matilda to break down the share ownership of Smith Group Corporate Law to such detail, and he hollered as he was starting to feel embarrassed, "Now, you're just being irresponsible, Matilda. My father gave my brother a million to start the law firm in the first place, and they had agreed that the family would have a stake, albeit only at 49%, to not deny your decision-making as a startup. Or are you denying it?"Matilda immediately became furious and snapped, "Bullshit! That was just a loan of one million, and the agreed term was three years. However, your brother returned it in one! I even asked him to return the money with every single one of his siblings watching, since you might all get skeptical, yet suddenly, you're calling it an investment?""You said he's returned it? Well, what proof do you have?" Jimmy quickly shot back. "Our entire family can testify that the money hasn't come back to us!""So, this is how you're going to play it?" Matilda smirked. "Th
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6602
In the first place, Jimmy had come to Oskia to claim a stake in Smith Group Corporate Law, ideally strong-arming Paul and Matilda into splitting the firm in two, with Jimmy taking everything in the States while Paul kept what was left.The way Jimmy saw it, Paul and Matilda were going to be permanently residing in Oskia anyway. There was no way they could manage things over in another country properly, so it was basically returning the firm to the rightful owner.Naturally, Jimmy also knew that despite bearing the Smith family name, the success of Smith Group Corporate Law was all the work of Jimmy's brother and Matilda. Jimmy's father had helped to a certain extent, but that extent of financial support wouldn't amount to an investment at all. No judge in the world would support his claim to the law firm's shares.Therefore, when he learned that Matilda was remarrying, he thought he could seize the moment to cause a scene. Nothing could be better if she and Paul decided to sacrifice
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6601
Jimmy deliberately raised his voice as he said coolly, "Oh, but I didn't want to intervene. It's you and your mother who left the States in a split second, taking with you the law firm which bears the Smith family name. Don't you think such behavior is inappropriate?"Seeing the surprised reactions of the guests, Paul promptly retorted, "The law firm uses the Smith family name, but it is my parents' legacy! They worked blood and sweat to build it from the ground up, and as their only son, I have a veto when it comes to decisions. Or did we need your permission to move to Oskia?""Where's your conscience, Paul?" Jimmy pursed his lips. "Even if you don't know how Smith Group Corporate Law was founded, is that the case for you? It would have been a joke if it weren't for my father's connections!"Hell, it's no exaggeration that it was my father who fought to expand the law firm across America, and just using the family name means you're borrowing the family's influence. The family hono

The blonde man's voice drew everyone's attention in an instant.Despite his foreign appearance, he spoke Oskian fluently and walked with a haughty gait, almost as though he was above the rest.Paul's expression turned grim the instant he saw him, and he hurried over with Charlie.Still, before Paul could speak, Charlie stopped him, frowning at the man as he said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate to come slinging personal attacks at someone else's wedding?"The man clearly didn't know Charlie, and he wasn't worried, seeing that he was young.Snorting in disdain, he asked, "You must be from the groom's family, yes? Please tell him that he doesn't deserve my sister-in-law.""It's up to the happy couple to decide that," Charlie retorted quietly. "Deserving someone is no issue as long as they both love each other."The man pursed his lips and looked pointedly around him. "Just look at how simple this wedding is. Forget picking an unassuming city like Aurous Hill—is there a single
