Chapter 2840

작가: Lord Leaf
Meanwhile, Sheldon had finally arrived in Syria after flying for a day and night.

Unlike Charlie, who had the privilege of taking the Concorde, he could only fly all the way to the Middle East. After landing in Turkey, he had to cross the border of the country as he entered northern Syria using the overnight road vehicle.

Deep down in his heart, Sheldon felt like dying as soon as he set foot on Syrian soil.

Because he had entered the country illegally, the vehicle dragged him away to avoid the city, and Sheldon was immediately shocked because of this desolate country.

There were deserts, hills, and decaying towns and villages in this country which was heavily damaged and in a disastrous state.

The endless deserts and mountainous terrains immediately reminded him of an ancient poem, ‘The Solitary Smoke in the Desert’.

After traveling hundreds of kilometers deep into the Syrian border, Sheldon had a realization deep down in his heart. He realized that if Charlie refused to agree to

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 2841

    When Hamed saw a few people with East Asian appearances, he immediately smiled as he spoke in his fluent Oskian dialect, “The few of you must be Brother Wade’s subordinates. Welcome! Welcome! Warmest welcome!”The several people looked at each other, and they could not help but exchange glances with one another.In their impression, this kind of slogan such as ‘Welcome! Welcome! Warmest welcome!’, should be shouted out by young cheerleaders whose faces were blushing red, red scarves tied around their necks, and also flower garlands in their hands.But they would never have expected that these words would come out from the mouth of a big and burly Middle Eastern warlord who had a thick beard. The man who was leading the group was Isaac’s confidant, and his name was Yanciel Zewell.When Yanciel saw that Hamed was being so polite and had the demeanor of a warlord, he smiled politely as he asked, “You must be Commander Hamed, right?”Hamed nodded and laughed as he said, “We’re all f

    Hamed could not be bothered to pay any attention to Sheldon.He smiled as he said to Yanciel, “Sirs, I’ve made some good black tea. Please come in and have a few cups of tea!”People in the Middle East loved drinking black tea. They generally liked to cook a particularly large amount of tea leaves into a very rich tea soup before topping it up with a lot of white sugar, which then became a refreshment with extremely high sugar content.This point was very different as compared to the Oskians.When the several people saw that Hamed was being so hospitable, they felt that it would not be polite to turn his invitation down.So, Yanciel then said, “Commander Hamed, in that case, I’d like to trouble you to please arrange for your subordinates to take Mr. Sheldon to his place of residence first.”“Yes! No problem!” Hamed said as he patted his chest. “I’ve already asked my subordinates to prepare the courtyard after receiving Brother Wade’s instructions. The courtyard is right next to m

    When he lowered his head to take a look, this was not a f*cking room, but this was actually a pit latrine with a roof!There was nothing in the room, only one deep pit that had already been dug in the middle of the room. There were two wooden boards there, and there was a hole that was exposed in the middle. That was the cesspit. In addition, there was no sewage device, and it was estimated that it would have to be manually removed before the cesspit was full…Sheldon was on the verge of collapse.‘Who the hell would be able to stand it if they had to shovel the pit latrine every once in a while in the future?’ ‘Most importantly, there is only one broken window in this dilapidated house, and the ventilation is not very good. If I were to take a dump here, how long would it take to get rid of the stench?!’Sheldon felt as though his future was already filled with darkness at this moment.He did not have any personal belongings here. He did not have a cell phone or computer, and t

    Sheldon was completely dejected. Although he would really like to give Charlie an additional one hundred million US dollars in exchange for decent living conditions for himself, he did not have that much money at his disposal anymore.Lord Schulz had very tight control over the family’s financial power. Although Sheldon was the eldest son and possessed a lot of real estate as well as various assets, he actually did not have much money or funds at his disposal.The entire Schulz family’s capital expenditure was basically conducted through family credit. They were allowed to spend money, but the money spent had to be within the control of the family’s financial system.Cadfan was not stingy, but he had a strong desire to be in control. He would not necessarily be reluctant to do so, even if it was a few hundred million US dollars to buy a plane. However, he had to know about it in advance, and he would have to give his approval before the other party would be able to spend this sum

    She was worried that Cadfan would still refuse to let her mother off in the future. So, that was the reason why she had decided to make an even bigger impact out of this matter.This way, the attention of the people in this whole country would certainly be drawn to this matter.No one would dare to risk universal condemnation when the focus and attention of the whole country were entirely on this matter.So, the bigger she made this matter out to be, the more passive her grandfather, Cadfan’s movement would be in the future. That way, Sophie and her mother would also be much safer.Therefore, Sophie looked for her maternal grandfather, Jefferson, and asked him for his help to contact the media. She was prepared to hold a press conference in the evening to explain everything that had happened to her and her mother in the tunnel.The media, the police, and all the people in the country had been waiting for the news of Sophie and Helen’s whereabouts. Sophie believed that as long as t

    Jaime had recently been busy with the concert matters at the venue. So, he had already run out early in the morning to supervise the work. Although he had seen the news that his younger sister was going to hold a press conference, he did not bother to ask her what exactly she was planning to do.So, he said to Cadfan, “Grandpa, I happen to be a little busy with some matters today, so I haven’t had time to talk to Sophie. Why don’t you wait for me for a while? I’ll call her and ask her about it, then.”Cadfan blurted out, “Don’t call her. There are many details that you’ll not be able to detect over the phone. You should hurry up and make a trip back home so that you can talk to Sophie face to face. It’d be best if you can bypass your mother and grandfather and question Sophie about it in private. Ask her clearly what she is planning to do exactly so that I can also make some early preparations, then.”Cadfan was truly afraid that Sophie would aim all of the spearheads directly at hi

    So, Sophie quickly put her manuscript away indifferently and rubbed her cheeks amidst her somewhat cold and stiff expression.After trying her best to make herself look as natural as she could, she spoke up, “Brother, you can just come in. The door is unlocked.”Jaime hurriedly pushed the door open and entered.As soon as he entered, he immediately locked the room door first before looking at Sophie.When he saw that there was nothing unusual about Sophie’s expression, he smiled and said, “Sophie, why have you suddenly decided to hold a press conference?”Sophie said seriously, “Such a major incident happened in the tunnel that time. The people in the whole country have been very concerned about my mother and my safety. I feel that there is a need for me to explain things to the public so that those goodhearted people who are worried and concerned about us can finally rest assured.”“Oh…” Jaime nodded gently and smiled as he said, “So, that is the case! You’re right! Ever since y

    Sophie’s rebuke gave Jaime a headache.He could not help but question Sophie in his heart, ‘Although it is indeed true that Grandpa really tried to kill mom, does that mean that Mom does not have any responsibility for this matter, then?’‘As the daughter-in-law of the Schulz family, she was always thinking about that dead man named Curtis Wade. Besides that, she even went to publicly bid for the mansion that Curtis Wade used to live in back then. Wasn’t she simply embarrassing the Schulz family, then?’‘Also, all of us are adults now. Does hatred truly matter anymore? The Schulz family has trillions of dollars worth of fortune. Should we really draw a clear line and boundary with our grandfather just because he attacked Mom brutally?’‘If we were to draw a clear line with him, that would be equivalent to us drawing a clear line with the Schulz family’s trillion dollars worth of family fortune. Wouldn’t we end up losing out in the end?’‘If we lose the right to inherit the Schulz

    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

    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

    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

    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

    Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he
