The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4674
Charlie and Claire accompanied Elaine to have a whole day of fun in New York the next day.During lunch, Charlie mentioned that there was a client in New York who wanted to discuss something with him at night, and Claire and Elaine did not think much of it. After all, Charlie was very busy with his ‘career’ now, and the two of them had long been psychologically prepared for this.Charlie accompanied and had dinner with both of them before driving them back to the hotel. After that, he drove to the Fox family’s private manor on Long Island. Charlie had originally planned to come over to meet with Lord Fox so that he could give him the promise that he had always been dreaming of in front of Kathleen. At the same time, he wanted to ensure that Lord Fox would give Kathleen unwavering support for as long as he lived. However, what Charlie did not expect was that when Lord Fox found out that Charlie was coming, he had notified everyone in the Fox family the previous night and asked all

Kathleen then said somewhat nervously, “Mr. Wade, how could I possibly sit on a seat higher than you when you’re here?! Why don’t you sit on the master seat instead?”Charlie smiled faintly, waved his hand gently, and said, “You are the master of this family, so you are the biggest here no matter who comes. As a guest, I cannot take the master seat away from you.”Subsequently, Charlie pulled out the seat opposite Kathleen and sat down directly. Kathleen was suddenly at a loss for what to do, but Jordan, who was aside, then said, “Kathleen, you should follow Mr. Wade’s instructions. Mr. Wade is right. You’re the head of the Fox family, and there is no one else who is qualified to sit in that seat.”Kathleen had no choice but to sit down.In fact, in Oskian etiquette, what was most important was respect.It was just like how whoever had the higher status would hold their wine glass higher when toasting at the dinner table. If someone did not have the qualifications and strength b

“Give up the Rejuvenating Pill?”When Jordan heard Charlie’s words, he was first stunned before he asked with some trepidation, “Mr. Wade... You... Why are you making such a request?”Charlie looked at him and said indifferently, “Lord Fox, if the auction continues next year, do you think that you will be able to successfully win the bid for the auction of the Rejuvenating Pill with your economic strength?” “Well...” Jordan could not help but recall the auction scene at that time. His limit was only two hundred billion US dollars, but Christian’s asking price was almost twice as high as his own. If the Rejuvenating Pill reached this price again next year, he would not be able to afford it anymore. Furthermore, it was impossible for him to sacrifice the interest of the Fox family for his own selfish interests. The incident last time had taught him a very, very painful lesson. Therefore, he could not make the same mistake twice.This also meant that he would basically lose the qua

Jordan, who was extremely happy, trembled immediately as he cupped his hands together and raised his hands above his head as he said respectfully, “I... I would like to grovel to thank you for the pill, Mr. Wade!”Charlie placed the pill in Jordan’s palm and said indifferently, “Lord Fox, you’re welcome. Why don’t you get up and eat the pill first?”Still, Jordan did not dare to get up. Instead, he knelt on the ground and carefully placed the half of a Healing Pill in his mouth.The half of a Healing Pill melted in his mouth and then turned into a warm current that flowed directly into his elixir field before flowing throughout his whole body through his meridians. In just a moment, Jordan felt that his body’s physical condition was in a much better state. He had still experienced a lot of inconveniences moving around before this, but now, he immediately felt that his whole body was much more relaxed.Just as he was extremely happy and carefully experiencing indescribable pleasur

The next day was already the day for Elaine to return to Oskia.Charlie had specially brought Elaine to buy more than twenty to thirty thousand US dollars of various specialties and gifts. Although he did not say anything, he treated this as a gift to thank Elaine because she had come to accompany Claire in the United States this time. Charlie and Claire sent Elaine to the New York JFK Airport at five o’clock in the evening. Elaine was not in a hurry to go through the check-in procedures because Charlie had bought a first-class flight ticket for her. Instead, she said to Charlie and Claire, “Charlie, Claire, you two don’t have to go through all the trouble of sending me in and watching me go through the security check. The friend that Lucy introduced to me happens to be on the same flight as me. She sent me a WhatsApp message just now saying that there is a first-class lounge as soon as we enter the airport. She asked me to wait there for her for a while so that we can go in and c
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4679
At this point, Elaine did not know what was in store for her. Elaine entered the airport, but she did not rush to the security check. Instead, she looked for the first-class lounge according to Clarissa’s instructions.She went in and had only sat there for less than ten minutes before a woman who was dressed very extravagantly walked in with a suitcase and handbag.Elaine recognized at a glance that this woman was her new friend, Clarissa, based on the WhatsApp profile picture and photos in her WhatsApp profile.So, she was a little nervous and excited as she waved at her, smiled, and said, “Hello, Madam Zinn! I’m Elaine! Nice to meet you!” When Clarissa saw Elaine, she could not help but say with some surprise, “Oh, Elaine! We finally meet! You must have been waiting here for a long time. I’m sorry, but I was still hosting a meeting before coming to the airport. You don’t know how many things I have to do all day long. It really makes me frustrated.”Elaine smiled and said, “

Clarissa had also heard Lucy mention Elaine’s situation before coming here. She knew that Elaine lived in a first-class villa in Thompson First in Aurous Hill and drove a Rolls-Royce. Therefore, she was not too surprised.She smiled and said to Elaine, “Don’t you think that a car like a Cullinan is a little too big for a woman like us to drive? I rarely drive when I go out, and I would always let the driver drive the MPV so that I can sit in the middle row. It’s much more comfortable and less worrisome compared to when I drive on my own.”Elaine said enviously, “We don’t have a full-time driver or an MPV at home. Otherwise, I would be able to experience the feeling of being a female boss too.”Clarissa smiled and said, “Isn’t this just a trivial matter? I can give you an MPV if you don’t have one. Do you know the Lexus LM300? I ordered three units from a parallel import car dealer some time ago. I was originally planning to keep one for my parents, but they plan to settle down in th

Meanwhile, Clarissa was pretending to pack her suitcase and handbag when her cell phone rang. When she saw the words ‘Mr. Challe’ displayed on the caller ID, she deliberately pretended as if she could not be bothered to pick up the phone and put it to her ear to answer the call. So, she turned on the speakerphone directly, put her cell phone aside, and spoke up, “Mr. Challe, I’m about to board the plane. If there’s anything, we can talk after I land instead.”The other party’s voice sounded very urgent as he said, “Miss, Madam met with an accident!”Clarissa suddenly tensed up and hurriedly asked, “What happened? What’s wrong with my mom?!”The other party said, “Madam went riding with the little master today. I don’t know what happened, but the horse got scared and kicked Madam. Madam passed out. I just took her to the hospital and the doctor said that her condition is a little serious.”Clarissa said anxiously, “What exactly happened? How did my mother get kicked by a horse?! Wha

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

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
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
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
