The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1990
To make matters worse, since the New Year was coming soon, many employees had already applied for leave to go home for the holiday. The passenger flow in the supermarket had doubled, but the number of employees working was lesser than usual. Therefore, there was a shortage for all of the various jobs in the supermarket.There was a shortage of salespeople, cleaners, and also cashiers. Even the employee responsible for weighing the groceries was far from enough. Anyone who wanted to weigh their groceries would have to wait at least ten minutes in line.When Jacob saw so many people in the supermarket, he was very frustrated, and he said, “Sigh! We should have come out earlier to buy the goods. If that was the case, I could be lying down at home and watching television right now instead. I would not need to come in here and join in the crowd!”“That’s right.” Charlie smiled helplessly before he said, “I wanted to come here yesterday, but Mom got hurt.”Jacob hummed as he said, “Don’t

The commotion immediately attracted Jacob’s attention. He was so bewildered and astonished when he saw his mother.After a long moment, he turned to Charlie and asked, “Hey, Charlie, i-is that my mother? That is my mother, right?”Charlie smiled faintly and said, “Yes, Dad, that is indeed Lady Wilson.”Jacob gaped in shock. “W-Why is she wearing a staff vest?! Did she come to work here?”Charlie nodded. “It seems like it.”Jacob said, baffled, “Something’s wrong. Didn’t Donald Webb give the Wilson family a capital injection? He even bought them the Thompson First villa. They should be living a very prosperous and comfortable life now!”Jacob didn’t know what had happened over the past two days. He didn’t know that Elaine had been kidnapped by his own brother and nephew, and he didn’t even know that Donald had surrendered a considerable part of his family assets and become Albert’s slave. So, of course, he didn’t know how miserable the Wilson family had become over the past two da

Charlie asked, “So, Dad, do you have any plans?”He did not know what Jacob was thinking at this moment. Seeing Jacob’s sorrowful expression, he assumed that Jacob might want to lend Lady Wilson a helping hand.Jacob simply sighed and said, “As her son, it breaks my heart to see my own mother living such a hard-knock life and doing such a tedious job. I should not just sit on my hands and watch.”The next second, he closed his eyes and said, “However, I didn’t see anything! It was nothing but an illusion!”With that, he quickly turned around and said, “Charlie, let’s go buy some fish, shrimp, meat, and eggs. As for the vegetables, let’s buy them at another supermarket. What do you think?”Knowing Jacob’s intention, Charlie immediately smiled and said, “Yes, Dad. I’m thinking the same thing. The vegetables in this supermarket are not so fresh. Let’s go to the wet market later to buy the vegetables! First, let’s go see if they have a larger Boston lobster, and we’ll buy some back!”

Charlie also saw Hannah.When he laid eyes on Hannah’s green vest, he felt that it was somewhat comical. He started wondering what she looked like when she was working at the coal mine back then and if she was given a uniform. He even started to imagine what she would look like in the coal mine uniform.Hannah was feeling very frustrated now, shooting a vengeful glare at Charlie.Charlie was the one who had brought all these miseries upon her. It was he who had ruined it all when she tried to spring a trap on Elaine.That was not all.The worst part was that he had donated all her money to charity and then sent her to the coal mine!When she thought of her wretched moments in the coal mine, she couldn’t help cursing, “This d*mned Charlie! He sent me to that hell hole! I gave up so much when I was there, but what I got in return were STDs and a child! If it were not for him, I wouldn’t be so miserable today…”The more she thought about it, the more agitated she felt toward Charli

Hannah had only just come to the supermarket today to apply for a part-time job at a hundred dollars a day, but after having a conversation with the manager, he decided to let her take the job as a cashier since she was a college graduate.Cashier work was not as tiring as the other tasks, and the wage was a hundred and fifty a day. Therefore, she had agreed to the job offer in delight.The manager would love to have Hannah at the post she was at now if there were no big issues, but he could not keep her if she dared to provoke customers at the checkout counter. Fortunately, since she was just casually bickering with her relatives, the manager decided to let it slide and reminded her, “You need to watch out for your image since you are on duty now. Don’t chit-chat even if they are your relatives when you’re working, got it?”Hannah hurriedly nodded and said flatteringly, “Don’t worry. I won’t do it again!”The manager nodded and prepared to turn and leave when Jacob said, “Hey, a

The manager instantly understood what was going on after hearing Jacob’s remark, and he thought to himself, ‘So, Hannah clashed with customers, shouted at them, and even lied to my face in front of the customers! This is simply outrageous! If I kept her here for the job, I wonder how many customers she will offend next, and it may end up dragging me down too! No! I must get rid of her now!’Thinking of this, the manager said in a stern voice without hesitation, “Hannah Wilson, I hired you to work as a temp here, but I didn’t expect you to mistreat customers! I don’t think you are suitable for the job. Give me the cashier keys now, take off your vest, and leave!”Hannah felt as if her world had crumbled upon her!She thought to herself, ‘I came here early in the morning to look for a job, and I’ve been working so hard all morning! It’s almost lunchtime, and I was looking forward to going to the staff canteen and enjoying my free lunch, but I was fired! In this case, not only do I hav

Hannah shouted desperately, “Who are you to expel me?! Why aren’t you paying me a salary?!” No matter how loudly she shouted, no one pitied her nor sympathized with her. When Hannah was about to be dragged out from the supermarket, the manager said to Charlie and Jacob apologetically, “Let me offer my sincere apologies to both of you. It was my fault for hiring an unsuitable candidate to work here.” Jacob nodded, then he said, “It wasn’t your fault. Nonetheless, you are responsible for this incident as you didn’t hire the suitable worker!” Jacob then sighed and said melancholically, “You have poor judgement.” The manager nodded his head in embarrassment, “Your criticism is right. I’ll learn from my mistakes!” Jacob patted his shoulder and said proudly, “You still need more experience!” “Yes!” The manager nodded his head repeatedly. Then, he waved his hand at a cashier who had just finished her meal and was about to start her shift, and he said to her,

At this moment, Hannah felt that the days she had here were worse than those days at Mount Blackpine.She cried while reminiscing those days at Mount Blackpine, sighing as she said, “Despite those days at Mount Blackpine being not that good either, at least I did not have to starve when I was with the supervisor!” “Not only did I not have to starve, but I also did not have to do much work. Moreover, I also could gamble with Linda Howard and her family. How I miss those days!”“Although the supervisor looked ugly and was unhygienic, he was good in bed and had enabled me to experience unprecedented feelings…” Thinking of this, Hannah sighed. She sobbed and said to Wendy, who was by her side, “Wendy, how are we going to go through these tough days? We face many problems every day. Gone is our money, our company has gone bankrupt, we’re staying at a stranger's villa, and we hardly even have meals to consume. When will days like these end?” Wendy couldn’t help but cry too a

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6611
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.
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6606
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
