The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 667
In Sean’s opinion, he was convinced that there was nothing Charlie, the deadbeat moocher, could give to Lord Moore that was comparable to Vermeer’s painting!Thus, he concluded that he would win over Charlie big time and also become the winner in the gift-giving round who surprised the guests and impressed Lord Moore the most.After all, in Sean’s view, Charlie was just a worthless loser who had chosen to marry into his wife’s family, it was impossible for him to come out with a decent gift, so no matter what his present was, it couldn’t possibly be on par with the precious painting he had given Lord Moore!Therefore, he sneered, “Grandpa Moore, I heard that Master Wade has been lingering in the feng shui fraud for some time now, he must have accumulated a significant fortune from all the scamming he did. I bet his birthday gift to you must be a precious treasure that is worth hundreds of millions, or maybe even billions of dollars!”Then, he turned his sneer at Charlie, “The paint

Charlie smiled at him with feigned ignorance and retrieved a small wooden box from his pocket.Charlie had bought the wooden box by the street for five dollars. He had bought it because he thought it was inappropriate to put the pill directly into his pocket or wrap it with a napkin.Sean couldn’t conceal his disdain when he saw the wooden box and sneered, “D*mn, what the heck is that? Did you buy that by the street for ten dollars?”Charlie smiled. “You are half right. Yes, I bought it by the street, but it only cost me five dollars instead of ten.”Everyone gaped in shock at Charlie’s remark!Did he even take Lord Moore seriously?How could he come to Lord Moore’s birthday with a five-dollar wooden box?!Even if there was something in the box, it would be some lousy junk, right?He wouldn’t put something valuable inside such a shabby-looking box.Hence, everyone started booing at Charlie.Even Reuben covered his mouth and tutted contemptuously.Sean howled indignantly as i

No one would have imagined that the 80-year-old Lord Moore would actually kneel to Charlie!Supposedly, when someone lived to be 80 years old, his parents and elders might have already passed away. No one, not even God himself, deserved the privilege of getting him to kneel before them.Moreover, Lord Moore was the head of the Moore family! The largest and most prominent family in Aurous Hill!Their 80-year-old family patriarch had literally knelt before a young man in his twenties!This was incredulously extraordinary and bizarre!Sean was equally dumbfounded.What the hell?!Had the old man actually knelt for a piece of enhancement pill?You should’ve said so sooner!I could’ve used the 400 million dollars on the Vermeer’s painting to buy enhancement pills, it would have been enough to cater to your needs until your 200th birthday!I didn’t even ask you to kneel to me, betrothing Jasmine to me was all I asked for!Meanwhile, the Moore family members were all donning differ

Sean thought that the old thing must have lost his mind or someone had knocked him hard on the head, otherwise, why would he kneel and bow to Charlie?!Lord Moore was the most senior among all the attendees today. Even though the Webb family was at a higher level than the Moore family in terms of the social class pyramid, his father’s power and assets were lesser than the Moore family, not to mention, Lord Moore was an elder.As for the guests, many of them were from average and above average families, but they were still worth at least over 100 million.There was only one loser in this hall, and that was Charlie!Yet, Lord Moore chose to kneel before this loser and even bowed his head to him!Why?!What the f*ck did Charlie have that he didn’t?!Why did Lord Moore kneel to Charlie so humbly?!In other words, he would give his granddaughter to this loser, wouldn’t he?!Sean was extremely depressed and infuriated as he thought about it!If he didn’t tarnish Charlie’s influence

Lord Moore had been very enthusiastic after receiving the Rejuvenating Pill, and he wanted to swallow it the minute he received it.After all, he had seen the magical effect materialize on Anthony after the latter had taken the pill, so he was very worried about damaging it when he held it in his hand.The only way to feel assured was to eat it!Since Charlie had said so, Lord Moore nodded and said gratefully, “Okay, Master Wade, I’ll take it now!”Then, he carefully put the pill into his mouth and swallowed it!As the pill was being digested, he felt that the pill had transformed into a stream of heat that surged into his limbs and veins, warming his body, and every cell in his body was full of vitality. It was as if he had returned to his teenage years, feeling youthful and energetic.Just like Anthony, Lord Moore felt that every part of his body had been nourished by the pill to the point that it was glowing with long-lost youth.Surprisingly, he found that the old wounds and

Charlie was her ideal partner if she ever wanted to marry someone and have children with.But would Charlie fall in love with her?Would Charlie be willing to give up on his current loveless marriage and be with her?Jasmine was a little worried.On the other hand, the rest of the crowd cheered loudly!They were so excited when they saw with their own eyes the exceptional changes that happened to Lord Moore!“How… how is it possible… How did Lord Moore become so young suddenly?!”“Oh my goodness, is this the effect of the Rejuvenating Pill?!”“A pill that can make someone ten years younger! This is a magical pill!”“Master Wade was indeed the true dragon!”“I… I want the pill too…”“Me too… I’m willing to buy it for 10 million!”“One million? You must be kidding! I’ll buy it for 100 million!”“D*mn it! If Master Wade wants to sell the pill, I’ll pay 200 million!”Ear-deafening astonishment and exclamations resonated in the hall!If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes

No one at the scene would have expected Donald, who was scolding Charlie and pressuring Lord Moore to give him an explanation earlier, to suddenly change so quickly.Even Sean himself was stunned at this time!He blurted out subconsciously as he asked, “Dad! Why are you being so polite towards a casual and useless son-in-law such as him? Don’t forget that he called our family garbage when we were outside just now!”At this time, Donald blurted out, “B*stard! You’d better shut up now!”There were so many things that Donald could not say in front of everyone here.However, he was already roaring in his heart.You b*stard! What would you know?Sean was still young and his body was at its peak as he was still in his twenties. That was the reason why he could sing songs every night, party and drink, go to bed at three o’clock in the morning, wake up at nine o’clock in the morning, or even stay up all night. However, he could not do that anymore!Sean’s current physical state was typ

Jasmine looked at Charlie with gratitude in her eyes and the feelings that she had for him increased intensely again!She felt that she would never be able to repay Charlie’s kindness towards herself even if she willingly gave her life to him!When Reuben heard this, he felt very angry inside.He was very annoyed!He blamed and hated Charlie for being so nosy!He blamed Charlie for renewing and prolonging Lord Moore’s life!He even blamed Charlie for giving all the credit to Jasmine!However, he did not dare to display even the slightest resentment that he was feeling deep within his heart and he could only subdue the murderous intent that he was feeling inside.At this time, Lord Moore nodded repeatedly as he replied sincerely, “Yes! I will always keep Master Wade’s instructions to heart!”After that, Lord Moore kowtowed in front of Charlie again to express his gratitude and thanks to him.Charlie had the opportunity to stop Lord Moore from kneeling down and kowtowing to him

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

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

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
