The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1618
This was completely unacceptable for all of Charlie’s cousins!At this moment, everyone began to plan a countermeasure out of desperation.Jeremiah, on the other hand, was feeling at ease and delighted. He was absolutely certain that the opportunity for the Wade family to take off and succeed was in Charlie’s hands. This instantly cleared up the doubts that had been plaguing him for the past four years and made him feel extremely relieved.He laughed out loud, stood up, and said in a cheerful voice, “Alright, that’s it for today. Dismissed!”Everyone donned a complex expression, but no one dared to say anything against Jeremiah’s orders. They had their own ax to grind, and most of them had not anticipated Charlie’s high-profile return to the Wade family.After the meeting, as soon as Stephen returned to his office and sat down, he received a call from Charlie.Delighted, he hurriedly answered the call and asked respectfully, “Mr. Charlie, glad to hear from you. What’s the occasio

The Tea Time Room was divided into three sections—the front yard, middle yard, and backyard, all of which were typical antique wooden buildings with a built-in stage inside where people often came to listen to live bands or stand-up comedy.The front and middle yards were open to the public where the members of the teahouse could enjoy the facilities, but the back yard was closed to the public. This was Stephen’s private territory which was extremely confidential.Stephen graciously invited Charlie and Quinn into the private parlor in the backyard.Once inside, Stephen immediately dismissed all the service staff and personally invited Charlie and Quinn to sit down on the sofa and made a pot of tea for them with his precious limited-edition tea set.After serving the fragrant tea to the two of them, Stephen said, unable to conceal his excitement, “Mr. Charlie, I didn’t expect to see you in Eastcliff, let alone with Miss Golding…”Frankly, Stephen had long hoped that Charlie would b

Charlie could just take the Rejuvenating Pill out and give it to Stephen if he wanted to. However, he stated a condition where he would give it to Stephen when he needed it the most to gain Stephen’s trust and reliability.It was not because he had any doubts about Stephen in any way, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with being cautious under any kind of circumstances.With the Rejuvenating Pill as bait, Stephen would definitely be more loyal to him.As expected, upon hearing this, Stephen startled in awestruck and said gratefully, “Mr. Charlie, I’m really glad to hear you say this. I swear, I dedicate my life to you, and I’m willing to go through all kinds of treacherous routes for you!”Stephen was not only a loyal man but also an intelligent one.Although he had no idea what the Rejuvenating Pill was, he was able to get a glimpse of it through Yule’s current condition.First of all, the magical elixir that Charlie had mentioned must be the miracle drug that could cure

Stephen managed a bitter smile when he heard Charlie’s question and said forlornly, “Mr. Charlie, the vast majority of people in the world is ungrateful and often take things for granted. Only when in need of others will they cling to them and enjoy the benefits and support that is blessed to them, but once they don’t need help, they will turn the other way and even, in turn, blame those who helped them, just to steal their limelight…”At this point, Stephen said in a rather dejected tone, “When your father led these families to fight the Rothschild family, they all sucked up to him, so much so that they even took the initiative to establish an Eastcliff Business Alliance and elected your father as the first chairman of the alliance…”“But after your father had defeated the Rothschild family, they immediately disbanded the alliance and even slandered your father’s reputation by accusing him of failing to manage and secure an absolute victory against the Rothschild family. There were

Stephen quickly said, “Mr. Charlie, I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?”Charlie replied, “Of course. Fire away.”Stephen started, “Mr. Charlie, if you want to make those in Eastcliff who have failed your father pay, you must first take the Wade family firmly into your hands, and then make a detailed and complete plan to swipe at them one by one!”Charlie asked, “If I had the Wade family in my hands, which family do you think I should strike first?”“The Schulz!” Stephen replied without any hesitation.“The Schulz family is the most powerful and wealthiest at the moment. Destroying them is equivalent to achieving half of your goal. Besides, the people who slandered your father behind his back were all assembled by the Schulz family. They had formed a group called the Anti-Wade Alliance where the Schulz family was the leader.”“Anti-Wade Alliance?” Charlie sneered, “What a name! I won’t stop pursuing the Schulz family then, I swear!”Stephen said, “By the way, today, Lord

“Becoming the patriarch of the Wade family?”Charlie smiled and replied with a slight disdain, “I have no interest in becoming the patriarch of the Wade family.”Stephen replied instantaneously, “Mr. Charlie, please do not forget that the Wade family is the second most prominent family in all of Eastcliff and I dare say, second most prominent in the country! So, if you’re able to obtain the title as patriarch of the family, Mr. Charlie, then the power gap between you and the Schulz family will be relatively closer.”Charlie waved his hands and replied. “Stephen, one day, I will defeat the Schulz family with my own hands. I will destroy all those who had wronged my father and his family. I will use my own strength to make them kneel before my parents grave and confess their sins!”Stephen sighed. “Mr. Charlie, if you were to become the patriarch of the Wade family, you can realize your wish much sooner!”Charlie said coldly, “I don’t want to go back to the Wade family because when

During the journey, Quinn didn’t utter a single word. It was as if she had something on her mind.After seeing her beautiful brows frowning, Charlie couldn’t help but ask, “Nana, what’s on your mind?”Quinn came back to her senses and replied, “Brother Charlie, is your relationship with Claire really…good?”Charlie was surprised by the question and replied with a question of his own. “Why do you ask this so suddenly?”Quinn replied, “I’m just curious and also a little worried.”“What are you worried about?”“Worried about what I should do in the future if your relationship is really good…”Charlie smiled a little and asked, “Before you met me, have you ever wondered about your future?”Quinn nodded. “I’ve thought about it before. Before I met you, I had always known that I must look for you. If I couldn’t find you, then I’d stay single since I have no feelings for other men anyway.”Charlie continued, “If you really hadn’t met me… I don’t think you’d actually stay single until

Early the next morning, Charlie was planning to bid farewell to Quinn’s family and then take a taxi to the airport but unexpectedly, Yule insisted on personally driving him to the airport.Rachel and Quinn were both accompanying them.Charlie didn’t want to trouble them and waste their precious time but they insisted and it was difficult for him to reject their hospitality, so he agreed.Yule was driving his Rolls-Royce with Rachel sitting at the passenger seat, while Charlie and Quinn were both seated in the back seat.Quinn was feeling a little depressed but since her parents were in the car, she tried to refrain from speaking. She looked as if there was a lot on her mind.As the outline of the airport was within sight, Quinn built up some courage to reach out her hand to grab Charlie’s hand and gave it a little squeeze.Charlie turned his head and saw Quinn looking back at him with a stubborn and resentful stare. He couldn’t help but feel a little sense of guilt building up wi

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6609
Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his
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
