The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6073
Bruce was not that bold before. However, Charlie's psychological manipulation was indeed strong. More importantly, Bruce loathed the Rothschild family very much. The reason why he was able to suppress his hatred and frustration before was entirely because of his fear of the family. But now, the fear is gone. Hence, he couldn't care less even though Harrison had called him personally. On the other end of the line, Harrison was bewildered by Bruce's boldness, but he didn't want to provoke Bruce further, so he suppressed his rage and comforted the latter patiently, "Bruce, I know that you have been greatly betrayed and insulted. No one can accept this kind of thing in stride." Harrison pursed his lips and continued, "But we are adults, and we can resolve our problems in a business-like manner. Besides, there is room for negotiation as long as the price is right. Give me a number, a price that you think you'll be happy with, and forgive everyone and everything." "Do you thin

"Is 100 million not enough? That's fine, we can discuss the price." Harrison hastily suggested, "How about 500 million?" "500 million?" Bruce chuckled contemptuously. "Oh, Harrison. You're so old now that you might die anytime soon. How about you keep the money for your funeral!" With that, Bruce immediately slammed the handset shut and unplugged the phone. Then, he realized that his cell phone had been in recording mode, meaning the whole conversation had been recorded. He grinned triumphantly, and another revenge plan hatched in his mind. - On the other hand, Harrison was like a volcano on the verge of eruption, ready to explode at any moment. Stomping his feet agitatedly, he huffed under his breath, "Damn it! Bastard! Since when did that loser start to value dignity?!" Julien recounted, "The takeover team is about to arrive, and Bruce has refused our offer. What are we going to do with Biden?" Harrison sighed dejectedly. "I wanted to bribe Bruce and let him make Bide

Harrison's eyes widened in shock. He quickly unlocked his phone and checked the short video platform. He clicked on Bruce's third video and saw Bruce looking into the camera with a firm expression on his face, saying, "I know that once I upload the videos, the Rothschild family will do whatever they can to do crisis PR. They will definitely use their wealth and power to influence those seemingly fair social media platforms." "So, don't be surprised if those big websites delete my videos and any content related to me. This is the family's real power." "They can silence any American media on this matter, so the only people I can rely on now are you, my fellow netizens. Please share my videos and don't let my voice disappear on the internet!" Just as he said this, in the video, the phone on Bruce's desk suddenly rang. He answered it, and Harrison's voice was heard. Then, Harrison made a series of statements to Bruce on the phone to make peace. Bruce uploaded the whole conversa

Harrison's grandson added, "The phenomena on social media platforms is even worse. Almost all platforms are discussing our affairs. We are in a bad state now..." Donning a gloomy face, Harrison was so furious he wanted to bite Bruce's head off. He regretted his decision to call Bruce to make peace. If he hadn't made that call, he would have still remained in the dark. In that case, he could still make Malcolm take the blame alone, whether it was legal responsibility or public wrath. However, this plan was completely ruined after the release of the third video. At this moment, Julien said, "The think tank has come up with the best solution. The person in charge is waiting online. Do you want to talk to him?" The Rothschild family had its own think tank which consisted of a large group of intellectuals. Whenever a major event occurred, the think tank would analyze and simulate the direction of the event from the most objective perspective and at the same time, give their

Late that night, a video suddenly made the headlines of all media except the short video platforms. The title of the video was "Sincere Apology from Harrison, the Current Patriarch of the Rothschild Family". In the video, Harrison looked haggard, with a very decadent and sickly look, which made people feel that he was dying. The deliberate appearance was one of the think tank's ideas. They believed that acting old and pitiful could garner sympathy from the public and subconsciously reduce their hatred and guilt for Harrison. For example, compared to a healthy youth, if an old man with a terminal illness was caught pickpocketing, society would be more tolerant even though the cause and nature of theft were no different. Although Harrison's reputation would be tarnished by an old and pitiful makeover, it would definitely reduce the public's hostility toward the Rothschild family. The think tank's judgment was indeed correct. When Harrison appeared in front of the camera, tum

"Also, I would like to ask the police to investigate me. If my conduct is suspected of violating American laws, I am willing to accept all legal responsibility." "Finally, on behalf of my entire family, I would like to express my sincere apologies to Mr. Bruce Weinstein and Mr. Biden Cole. We will continue to be in contact with them and do our best to make up for the damage Malcolm has done to them." After his speech, Harrison stood up and bowed deeply to the camera with some difficulty. As expected, his apology statement managed to restore some of the Rothschild family's reputation. Coupled with their control over most of the American news media and with the deliberate media framing and hype, the Rothschild family's image saw a significant improvement. Many people accepted Harrison's statement and felt that Bruce's exposure was Malcolm's doing and had nothing to do with the family. As for Harrison's attempt to bribe Bruce, the public portrayed it as a matter of course for a pa

Charlie nodded with a smile. "Go to the toilet now with your phone and record a video. Tell us how you made a deal with the Rothschild family, why you were imprisoned here, and how the family used your family's power in Mexico to achieve their goals." "What?!" Gustavo blurted in shock. "They will kill me if I do so!" Charlie smiled reassuringly. "Let me finish." Gustavo quickly shut his mouth and nodded vigorously. Charlie cleared his throat and continued, "Look. Moses almost killed you yesterday. In the video, you can ask your son for help. Tell him that you nearly died in prison and that someone framed him for the murder attempt, but you didn't believe him at all." "Then, you tell them what you think about this. You say that you feel the Rothschild family wants to kill you because you are no longer useful and know too many of their dark secrets. They not only want to kill you but are also trying to frame your son." "You need to both denounce the Rothschild family for thei
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6080
To Charlie, Gustavo had lost his value after he had successfully approached Bruce. A Mexican drug lord who had lost his power and was imprisoned by the Americans on top of having a son who wanted to be killed had no practical value. He would be useless unless Charlie got him out of jail and brought him back to Mexico to help him regain control of the Sanchez family, but that was even less cost-effective for Charlie. Firstly, Gustavo was a notorious drug dealer whom Charlie did not want to get involved with, especially in terms of interests. Secondly, Gustavo had been extradited from Mexico by the U.S. government at a great expense. It was a great achievement of the government in eradicating drugs. They had to make sure that Gustavo stayed in prison for the sake of their reputation. Once he escaped from prison, it would be a great shame to the US justice system. At that time, the US government would be even more desperate to catch him. Hence, even if Gustavo returned to Mexico

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6608
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.
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6606
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
