Charlie nodded and said, “Then, you must be drinking tonight, right?”“Yup,” Jacob said with a laugh. “I’ll certainly drink a little. Why?”Charlie then said, “Oh, I have some business to tend to this afternoon. If it’s convenient for you, I want to use your car later.”Jacob handed the car keys to Charlie without any hesitation and said, “Of course it’s convenient for me! Go ahead and use it. It just so happens that I will drink a glass or two tonight. If I drive, I would have to find someone to drive me home. It’s much more convenient to just take a cab.”Charlie nodded and took the car keys from Jacob.Claire, who was standing at the side, said, “Dad, I’ll be going to my office later. I can send you to the association on the way.”Jacob laughed and said, “Wonderful! I can save on the taxi fare, then!”After Jacob and Claire had left, Charlie took the pills out, put them into an inconspicuous shoulder bag, and left the house.He got into Jacob’s car and went straight to Graha

As Doris listened to Dr. Spears illustrate the case, she carefully recalled her father’s activities and said, “Dr. Spears, I have never seen my father take any unknown drugs after his illness worsened nor did I see him take any traditional medicine, let alone Dutchman’s pipe.”Then, she added, “Overall, he was in excellent health after his last kidney transplant with a relatively mild form of diabetes, so he had been taking metformin extended-release tablets, but that drug does not do harm to the kidneys and will not cause acute kidney failure.”Dr. Spears nodded and said, “I understand. Dutchman’s pipe is just an example, but there are a lot of traditional medicinal ingredients out there that can trigger acute kidney failure, not just Dutchman’s pipe. There are many chemicals and organic compounds that have great nephrotoxicity.”Doris asked, “Dr. Spears, is there any way to find out exactly what caused my father’s acute kidney failure?”Dr. Spears said, “I’ve sent your father’s b

As soon as Doris answered the call, she said respectfully, “Yes, Young Master. What can I do for you?”Charlie answered with a smile, “Oh, I just wanted to continue what we left off yesterday. Are you free tonight? If you are, come to Mr. Quinton’s house for a get-together. You all came to my house during New Year’s Eve, but I haven’t gotten the chance to treat you all to a meal since the New Year, and I feel quite sorry about it.”Doris managed a bitter smile and said, “Oh, Young Master. It was our pleasure. Don’t mention it.”Charlie laughed. “I have to. It’s a matter of courtesy! I’ve prepared a small gift for everyone. It’s not worth any money, but it’s a small token of appreciation. If you have the time, come over. However, if you’re not free, it’s okay. I’ll pass you the gift later.”Doris hurriedly said, “Oh no, Young Master, I can’t let you do that. How about this? Please let me know the time and venue, I’ll drop by in the evening.”Charlie said, “Very well, then. I’ll mes

Edmund’s remarks made Doris’s heart skip a beat. The strong sense of oppression made her feel like she was about to suffocate.Although she was very disgusted and even found Edmund’s offer extremely repulsive, she also knew that the kidney source Edmund had secured in the United States was the only source she knew of that could match her father’s blood type. This was the only choice she had for the time being.If someone else bought the kidney, she would lose all hope.Doris had studied in the United States back then, so she knew the situation in the country very well.Compared to Oskia, the overall degree of rule of law in the States was relatively loose.Not only were guns and drugs easily accessible, but even the trade in human organs was unregulated.If a person wanted to sell his kidney, he could complete the kidney removal surgery even in a veterinary clinic. Everything was very easy and smooth.This also meant that if the donor found a suitable seller, he could sell his k

After a long moment of silence, Doris said, “Edmund, if I agree to be your lover and go to work for your company, can you promise me that you will not force me to reveal any business secrets of Emgrand Group?”Edmund frowned in dismay when he heard this and asked, “You’re just a manager in the company. Why should you be so loyal to them?”Doris replied earnestly, “It’s my professional ethics!”Edmund sneered, “Doris, there are three things about you that are valuable to me. Number one, your body. Number two, your ability. And number three, your mastery of the core secrets of Emgrand Group. For me, these three elements of yours are equally important!”Doris ground her teeth and asked, “Edmund, do you really have to do this? I can promise you all those nasty conditions you offer, but can’t you leave room for me to bargain?”Edmund laughed, “Of course you can bargain, but there has to be a minimum principle. For example, I insist on the three aforementioned elements, but we can discu

After Edmund had said that, he turned around and left the ward.Doris trembled uncontrollably out of anger and frustration as she stared at Edmund’s back as he left.Her mother, Faith, walked forward with tears all over her face as she took Doris’s hand. She choked up and said, “Forget it, Doris. Just give up. I cannot watch you jump straight into Edmund’s trap just like that…”Doris’s eyes choked up, and tears began flowing down her face unknowingly as she said, “Mom! Dad does not have much time left now… If we cannot get this kidney source, perhaps within half a month…”Faith slapped Doris’s hand a few times. Although she was in a lot of pain and grief, she said resolutely, “Your dad and I have already lived for more than fifty years now. Over the past fifty years, we have lived very full, happy, and prosperous lives. We are already very satisfied. So, even if your dad were to leave just like this, I would not have any regrets in my heart. After all, the both of us have already t

Aurora had also specially driven him around the lake on a speedboat back then.However, as the weather at this time was still cold, the scenery by the lakeside was more or less rather dull and depressing. It was not as lush and vibrant as the last time when he had come by.Therefore, Charlie said to Graham in passing, “Mr. Quinton, the vitality of this villa is a little lacking during the winter. Although the trees and grassland here are only withered temporarily, in terms of Feng Shui, they are still considered as dead objects. So, it would be better for you not to live here before spring begins because it will certainly have a little impact on your body and fortune.”When Graham heard this, he immediately said, “Oh! Thank you for your reminder, Master Wade! If that is the case, we will move back to the city tomorrow, then!”Aurora subconsciously asked, “Dad, why don’t we buy a villa at the Thompson First community, then? That place is not only big, but we can also be neighbors wi

Charlie handed the two wooden boxes over to Graham under Graham’s watchful gaze. After that, he said, “Mr. Quinton, these two pills inside these two wooden boxes are a small token from me. The one on the right is slightly larger and darker in color. That is the Healing Pill that I gave to all of you before this. As for the slightly smaller and brighter pill on the left, it is the Rejuvenating Pill that I have just refined this time.”Graham was so excited that he was completely at a loss for words. He said in a trembling voice, “Master… Master Wade… how could I be worthy of such a valuable and precious Rejuvenating Pill?! This… this Rejuvenating Pill could easily be sold for two to three billion dollars if you were to put it up for auction in the market. It is… it is really too expensive…”Although Graham had been longing for the Rejuvenating Pill for the longest time, he understood very well that the value of the Rejuvenating Pill was simply too high and expensive. It was far more v

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
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

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

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
