The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4344
Kathleen suddenly tensed up, and she was very nervous when she heard Merlin suddenly asking about Rosalie.She knew that Rosalie’s identity was relatively sensitive, and if Merlin had set his sights on Rosalie, he might already be suspecting Ten Thousand Armies at this moment. Kathleen also knew very well that if Merlin was looking for Rosalie directly, this meant that he must have information that Rosalie had entered the country together with her. So, she could not slip up in front of Merlin at this time. Otherwise, she would definitely be in trouble if Merlin had a handle over her.When Charlie, who was on the other end of the line, heard that Merlin was here to look for Rosalie, he also realized that Merlin must have regarded Rosalie as a breakthrough.At this moment, Charlie couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed. He had asked Rosalie to escort Kathleen to Syria because he had considered the fact that she was completely credible and also a woman, therefore, it would be conven

Kathleen nodded. “Chief Lammy, if you feel that there is a need for a lockdown, I have no problem with that, but I’d like to remind you that you will need legal authorization documents in order to put Fox Group under lockdown. Besides, I still have many reporters here who are preparing to leave, so you’d better have a legitimate reason for locking them in.”When Merlin saw that Kathleen was not relenting, he spoke up and threatened, “Miss Fox, I think that you should also know of the identity of the people backing Rosalie Schulz. If I go back and apply for a search warrant to lockdown this place, I will answer truthfully if the media reporters ask me any questions about this. I will explain that I suspect that Fox Group has a relationship with Ten Thousand Armies. Miss Fox, how are you going to explain yourself to the people, then?”Kathleen said indifferently, “My grandfather and I were being pursued overseas, and it was Miss Schulz who protected us and helped us return to the Unite

So far, Rosalie was the only clue Merlin could find. He knew he needed to find Rosalie in order to solve the case, for she was the only lead to dig out other clues related to the Ten Thousand Armies.Otherwise, he would never be able to solve the series of lynchings in New York. It’d be an impossible task, especially after Rosalie and Ten Thousand Armies departed from the United States. His failure would be the biggest shame in his career.As a police officer, he abhorred lynching in every form. It was the police’s responsibility to crack down on crime, not vigilantes.Anyone except the police did not have any law enforcement power. Committing private executions was a crime. Even if they punished evil and promoted good, they were still punishable by law.Thus, Merlin was determined to find Rosalie. He was confident that he could find her as long as Kathleen wasn’t given any chances to tip her off. Rosalie would not leave so quickly.That was why he immediately told Kathleen after

Everything would be fine as long as he could find Rosalie hidden in Fox Group. Even the president wouldn’t have the authority to punish him.Unfortunately, he was unaware that Rosalie had just left the Fox Group mere minutes ago.The hackers from Ten Thousand Armies had invaded the Fox Group’s security surveillance system right after Rosalie’s departure. They manipulated and edited every surveillance that showed Rosalie.All the while, Rosalie made her way to the port in New York Harbor. There happened to be a cargo ship from the Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group at the harbor. Since the cargo ship was ready to return to Oskia, Charlie arranged for Rosalie to immediately leave the United States by boat.The cargo ship was scheduled to sail back to Oskia from New York on its usual route via the Panama Canal into the Pacific Ocean. But due to the long voyage, Rosalie was to take a helicopter to Cuba when the ship passed through Cuba, and then fly to Oskia from Cuba.The confident Merl

Charlie understood Janus’s gesture. He was unaware of the current situation, but he understood Janus’s message. The robbed girl seemed highly suspicious.However, Charlie did not leave immediately. Instead, he went behind the woman and strode into Janus’s restaurant.After entering, Charlie deliberately sat in a corner with his back to the door. Then, he greeted Janus and said, “I’d like to order a Roast Goose Rice.”Janus didn’t want Charlie to come in at first. However, he didn’t say much after seeing that Charlie was in a relatively hidden position.He replied, “Sure thing! Please wait a moment. I need to help this lady right here.”After that, Janus took out his phone and dialed 911. Then, he turned to the girl and asked, “Would you like to speak to the police yourself, or should I do it for you?The girl looked at Janus gratefully. “Please lend your phone to me. I can speak to the police myself.”“Sure,” Janus handed his phone to her. The girl took it and dialed 911 at once

The girl gave it a thought before replying, “Well, he was too fast for me to see. I couldn’t react in time, so I couldn’t get a good look on his face. Still, I’m pretty sure he’s an Oskian. He’s around the average height and quite thin. He’s very agile, too.”The police sounded helpless. “An Oskian around the average height, and quite thin… These people are everywhere in Oskiatown! If you don’t have any detailed descriptions, it’ll be difficult to catch him.”Then, he explained, “As you know, purse-snatching is a common problem in New York. Many had their phone, laptops, and bags snatched. There are at least a thousand cases daily, and it’s hard to catch the perpetrators.”The other policeman was looking around the shop while the two spoke. Then, he pointed to one of the surveillance probes facing the door and said, “The incident happened in front of this store. In that case, this surveillance probe must have captured it, right? If we can have an image of the criminal, it’ll be rela

“I think so,” Janus’s face was grim as he continued solemnly, “Did you see that woman and the two police officers earlier? They were acting because they wanted to get the surveillance video from my shop. Since they went through that trouble, I’m sure they have other plans for it.” Charlie became a little curious and asked, “Janus, how can you tell that she and the two police officers were acting?” Janus explained, “A middle-aged Oskian man came to my shop as soon as it opened. The man casually ordered a meal and kept staring at the three surveillance cameras in the shop. Think about it. Why would any person care to observe the surveillance cameras in a small restaurant? At first, I thought he wanted to steal some cash from me. If not, then he’s probably a plain-clothes police officer.”Charlie asked, “What happened after that? Did he leave right after eating?”“Yes,” Janus said. “That man ate quickly and then paid for his meal. He left in a hurry. Afterwards, he quickly removed t

Charlie was impressed at Janus’s attention to the minute details. He praised, “I guess they must think they’ve done a great job. Still, they couldn’t deceive you.” Janus waved his hand humbly. “You’re praising me too much, Mr. Wade. I’m not that attentive, but I’ve been in Oskiatown for many years. I’m so familiar with this place that I can immediately notice if anything strange happens here.”Janus then added with a smile, “It’s no exaggeration to say that after staying in one place for a long time, I can even tell if the next door dog’s barks sound different from usual.” His tone changed into one of worry as he asked Charlie, “Mr. Wade, why are the police paying attention to you? Did the Ten Thousand Armies leave any clues for them to track down?” Charlie shook his head. “The Ten Thousand Armies didn’t. Actually, I might have overlooked a small detail. I sent a girl with a sensitive identity to escort Jordan and Kathleen Fox back to New York. At that time, I didn’t think too m

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

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
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
