The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4421
Elaine had always been bullied by Hannah when she was in the Wilson family, and she held a lot of grudges against Hannah. However, now that Hannah was suddenly currying favor with her and flattering her, this instantly magnified her vanity and gave her the refreshing feeling that her life had turned around completely. So, she was also happy to hang out with Hannah every day.For Elaine, she could only feel that she was really a different person from who she used to be in the past when Hannah was flattering and fawning over her. So, when Elaine heard Hannah’s voice over the other end of the line, she hummed and said, “I haven’t slept enough yet. What time is it?”Hannah hurriedly said, “It’s almost eleven o’clock! Didn’t you say yesterday that you wanted to go shopping in the mall today? I’m all ready and am waiting right in front of your house! Are we still going out today?”It was only then that Elaine came to her senses and blurted out, “Oh, no! I forgot about it! I was planning

Elaine drove the domineering Rolls-Royce Cullinan all the way to Harbour City in Aurous Hill.After carefully driving into the underground parking lot with more than a dozen cars, she finally parked the car. She then went to the first floor with Hannah.The first floor in Harbour City was filled almost entirely with first-tier luxury brands.Amongst them, half of it was clothing and luggage brands such as LV and Gucci, whereas the other half were jewelry brands such as Bvlgari and Cartier. Elaine took Hannah to the Bvlgari store as soon as they arrived. It was not that Bvlgari was much better compared to the other brands, but it was mainly because Elaine liked the name ‘Bvlgari’, and felt that it was festive.As soon as they entered Bvlgari, Elaine went straight to the counter in the middle and sat on the high stool in front of the counter as she slapped the Rolls-Royce key on the counter with her right hand and placed the Hermes handbag that Charlie had given her on the counte

After saying that, she hung up the phone, stepped in front of Elaine, and smiled as she said, “Madam, come. Let me help you try it on.”Elaine nodded and put on the necklace with the salesgirl’s help. After that, she kept looking in the mirror.The price-performance ratio of the jewelry from this big brand was really thin. The 18K gold chain was not worth a lot of money, and the pendant made of broken diamonds also did not cost much. When it was put together, it was estimated that a fraction of the price was already enough to cover it.However, what Elaine valued was not the price-performance ratio, but the reputation-to-price ratio.The so-called price-performance ratio was the ratio between product performance and price. For the same price, the better the performance would naturally be better. As for the reputation-to-price ratio, it was the ratio between the reputation and the price of the product. At the same price, the higher the reputation, the more important it was. Even i

The salesgirl’s sentence that stated that Elaine was the top amongst the noblewomen overwhelmed Elaine immediately.She felt that the salesgirl’s words had a kind of chemical energy which could produce a large amount of dopamine that would rush straight to her head through a chemical reaction with her eardrum. Simply put, it made her lose her sense. This feeling was like a young man who had just learned to smoke and had grabbed his uncle’s dry tobacco pouch and taken a big puff of it.It not only went up to his head, but it also made him feel a little dizzy.Elaine was so happy that she could not even close her mouth. She looked at the salesgirl, and the more Elaine looked at her, the more she liked her. Hannah was indeed very good at patronizing her, and they had obviously been sisters-in-law for decades. Hannah could also praise her whenever she wanted to.However, if Elaine were to really compare the salesgirl in front of her with Hannah, Hannah would definitely lose out.

However, when Elaine thought of how the salesgirl had already set up the atmosphere, wouldn’t she be unable to live up to the title as the ‘top amongst the noblewomen’ if she were to say that she could not afford it? Just as Elaine was feeling uneasy, the salesgirl placed the treasure of the store in front of her.Elaine looked down at the price tag and suddenly exclaimed, “Oh, my God! Seven, eight, eight, eight... Seven, followed by six eights with no decimal points... This is f*cking 7.88 million dollars!”The salesgirl in front of her took the necklace out, looked at Elaine, and then looked at the necklace before she shook her head and said, “Madam, I suddenly feel that this necklace is somewhat dull in front of you.”Elaine was about to cry.‘A necklace that is nearly eight million dollars also looks somewhat dull in front of an old lady like me?! Do you think that I’m as bright as the sun?!’Hannah, who was behind her, was also shocked and blurted out, “This necklace is too

Hannah, who was aside, had already exclaimed in shock before Elaine responded. She blurted out, “I remember that there have never been any discounts in your brand before. How can it suddenly be eighty thousand dollars cheaper?!”The salesgirl smiled and said, “Madam, you’re right. We never offer discounts in our store. Today is the only exception, and it is only for today!”Elaine was also moved.A brand that had never given any discount was now directly cheaper by eighty thousand dollars. This was a huge bargain!As the saying goes, it would be stupid if she did not take advantage of a bargain.If she did not buy this necklace, she would wake up with regrets at night. So, she quietly turned on her cell phone and glanced at her account balance in her bank app. She had three hundred and sixty-two thousand dollars left in her bank account.In the few days that Charlie and Claire were gone, not only did she spend eighty thousand dollars in the beauty salon for a super VIP member

The salesgirl said, “The cashback is 20%. Didn’t you buy this necklace for three hundred and sixty thousand dollars? We will refund 20% of the money to you after the transaction, which is seventy-two thousand dollars.”“Oh, my God...” Elaine blurted out, “Wouldn’t that mean that I would be able to buy this necklace, that is worth more than four hundred and eighty thousand dollars, for less than three hundred thousand dollars after I participate in these various activities?!”“Yes!” The salesgirl held the calculator for a while and said, “The actual price will be only two hundred and eighty-eight thousand dollars, which is two hundred thousand dollars cheaper!”Elaine was extremely happy. Two hundred thousand dollars cheaper! Wasn’t this a great bargain for nothing?!Just as Elaine was feeling excited, the salesgirl said, “By the way, you can come to the store to participate in the lottery at about 1.00 pm or 2.00 pm after you buy the necklace. The lottery is free, and the highest

Even though she had no tears, Elaine really felt like crying when she heard this.However, in order to maintain her status as the top amongst the noblewomen, she could only clench her teeth and bear with it.After all, she thought to herself, ‘I cannot argue with this salesgirl for the arrival time of the seventy thousand dollars. After all, she was quite good to me and gave me so many discounts...’‘What’s more, it’s not that they are not going to return the seventy thousand dollars back to me. It’s just the normal procedure, so how can I have a fallout with them over this? Wouldn’t it be a little too unreasonable of me, then?’As Elaine thought of this, she could not help but sigh as she thought to herself, ‘The main thing is that I only have more than two thousand dollars in my bank card now, and it will only be enough to last me for a few days...’After making up her mind, Elaine did not continue talking about this issue. Instead, she pretended to laugh and casually said to th

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

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
