The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4643
With that being said, Kathleen paused slightly and continued, “I originally did not intend to use this plane, but when my grandfather heard that I was coming to Hong Kong to see you, he transferred the plane over to New York directly.”Charlie nodded lightly and smiled as he asked, “How is Lord Fox doing lately?” “Not bad.” Kathleen said truthfully, “There have been no serious health problems with his body during this short period of time, and he is also in a good mood. He is definitely in much better shape compared to before. Lately, he has also been talking about how he is eager to go and learn Tai Chi with others, saying that he wants to strengthen his body and try to live for an extra two more years.”Charlie smiled and said, “It seems that Lord Fox is in good shape.”“Yes.” Kathleen nodded and said, “He is indeed in much better shape compared to before, and this is all thanks to your help, Mr. Wade.” Having said that, Kathleen said again, “Oh! By the way, my grandfather is

Charlie was holding a Healing Pill in his palm at this time.The Healing Pill was about one centimeter in diameter, and he did not bother to put it in a wooden box because it was not as precious as the Rejuvenating Pill. Instead, he simply sealed it with wax paper specially used to seal food. When Kathleen heard that Charlie was going to give her a gift and was acting like a child as he deliberately clenched one of his fists with his palm down as if it was a mysterious gift, she thought that Charlie was joking with her. So, she smiled and said, “What kind of small gift did you prepare for me, Mr. Wade? Could it be a small bug? Let me state in advance that I’m not afraid of bugs.”During childhood, little boys had always loved to tease little girls. The most common one was for them to grab a bug in the palm of their hand and pretend to have a gift for the girl so that they would reach out and pick it up.Kathleen also felt playful at this time. As she spoke, she also reached out he

When Charlie saw that she was crying, he hurriedly said, “Look, how did I make you cry by giving you a small gift?!”He then handed a piece of tissue over to her and said, “Wipe your tears away quickly. Otherwise, when the flight attendant comes over and sees this, she will think that I am bullying you when no one else is around.” Kathleen could not help but laugh out loud. As she laughed, she accepted the piece of tissue and wiped away her tears as she teased, “What are you afraid of? I would not blame you even if you truly did bully me...”Having said that, she realized that her joke seemed inappropriate. So, she hurriedly changed the subject. She remembered the joke she had made to Charlie just now, and she immediately said very firmly, “Thank you for this great gift, Mr. Wade. I will buy you the two companies, Patek Phillipe and Rolex within a week and give them to you in return...”Charlie quickly waved his hand and said, “No, don’t!”He pointed at the Patek Phillipe watch t

Charlie’s words made Kathleen’s entire body tremble. She knew the weight behind Charlie’s words.Since Charlie had said that he would keep her grandfather alive for another ten years, he would definitely be able to fulfill his promise.This was basically equivalent to giving her grandfather half a Rejuvenating Pill.What’s more, Charlie’s only condition for her grandfather to live for another ten more years was not to ask for money or anything else, but only to assist her and help her secure her position as the head of the Fox family!She could not help but think to herself, ‘Mr. Wade is doing all this to pave the way for me...’As she thought of this, she looked at Charlie with tears in her eyes as she said gratefully, “Mr. Wade, thank you for everything that you have done for me. I swear that the Fox family will definitely work together with you in the future, and we will definitely become the most solid and reliable ally by your side! There will be no one else who will do bet

Charlie spoke up and said, “Look, what these rich people or wealthy families that we usually come into contact with usually like to do is to make more money with money. They were born just to make money, which would only lead to them spending money where it could increase or add value and bring greater wealth to them. By doing so, they are completely blinded by money.”Having said that, Charlie said again, “If a family has already seen through excess money and is treating it as nothing more than just a number game and is thus spending money in the direction of pure consumption in the true sense or has no other way to manifest it with specific values at all, what would happen, then?”“Pure consumption...” Kathleen frowned and thought for a moment, but she was still a little puzzled. So, she said embarrassedly, “Mr. Wade, I still do not understand it well. Can you explain more to me?”Charlie said seriously, “To give you the simplest example, the Rothschild family’s assets of more tha

In the eyes of the vast majority of people, wealth was a symbol of strength, but Charlie had never taken money seriously at all. The facts also proved to him countless times that money was, in fact, not everything at all times.For example, so what if Jordan had a fortune worth a trillion US dollars? He still had to rush to spend more than two hundred billion US dollars to buy a Rejuvenating Pill. Even Charlie’s eldest uncle, Christian, was willing to pay more than three hundred billion US dollars in exchange for a mere Rejuvenating Pill.Theoretically speaking, as long as Charlie was willing, he could use the Rejuvenating Pill to scour all the wealth of all the old and wealthy people in this world. In that case, his wealth could even surpass that of his grandfather’s family, the Saudi royal family, or even the Rothschild family. However, when Stephen had given Charlie ten billion dollars back then, he had not even known how to spend the money. So what if he had more money th

After all, the flight number of a private jet would not appear on the big screen at the airport.It was already eight o’clock local time when the full-size Cadillac SUV sent Charlie to Hilton Hotel.The driver carried two huge suitcases from the trunk first, both of which were the Hong Kong specialties that Shawn had prepared for Charlie. After that, the driver took out a small twenty-inch suitcase from inside the car, which was Charlie’s own carry-on luggage. Charlie also put the Patek Phillipe watch that Marianne had given him into this suitcase.When the bell boy at the hotel saw that Charlie had three big suitcases, the bell boy hurriedly pushed the luggage cart and placed all three of Charlie’s suitcases on it. After that, he followed Charlie to the top floor of the Hilton Hotel. At this time, Claire had just had dinner with Elaine. Over the past few days ever since Elaine had come to the United States, she had already familiarized herself with the city of Providence. S

Elaine opened the door and prepared to make some noise outside the door. However, when she suddenly saw Charlie standing outside the door, her ugly expression immediately became extremely happy as she said excitedly, “Oh, my dear son-in-law! When did you return? Why didn’t you tell us in advance?”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “I didn’t tell you guys in advance because I did not want you both to worry.”Elaine smiled and said, “I know that it must be because you want to give Claire a surprise!”When Claire, who was inside, heard the commotion, she walked toward the door and asked, “Mom, is Charlie back?” Elaine hurriedly turned her head and shouted inside, “Claire, my dear son-in-law is back! Come quickly!”As she spoke, she saw that there was a bellboy who was pushing a luggage cart behind Charlie. When Elaine saw that there were three suitcases on the luggage cart, she immediately asked excitedly, “My dear son-in-law, I remember that you didn’t seem to bring any luggage wit

Ares LLP was the biggest law firm in the States, and only the best of the best were recruited as associates.If Jimmy got to pick ten of their partners, he was basically taking a huge chunk out of their human resources.Moreover, the partners' salaries would be very expensive. With Jimmy included, eleven of them meant over a hundred million US dollars at minimum. Ares would definitely be maimed if they had to pay that much money while losing ten of their elites! Naturally, Jimmy didn't feel confident about achieving that, and he asked Charlie, "Mr. Wade… Don't you think it's too much? Would Nate even agree to that?"Charlie shrugged. "Of course he won't agree if you're the one asking, but he would definitely say yes if it were Julien."Julien almost rolled his eyes.The man was truly ruthless, ready to inflict so much damage at the drop of a hat.Worst of all, he was going to play the villain for Charlie.Still, he said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade! I will pressure him
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6617
However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e

The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi

And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6613
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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6612
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
