Chapter 830

Penulis: Lord Leaf
”No.” Charlie pretended to be surprised as he asked, “Why? What’s wrong? Is Mom not back home yet?”

“No.” Claire replied, “I thought that she was going out with her friend. However, one of her friends just called me earlier and told me that they have not been able to contact my mother ever since the afternoon. They kept waiting for her to confirm whether they would be having dinner together, but they could not find her at all. I also asked dad about it, but he told me that he did not know where she was. That’s why I decided to ask you instead.”

Charlie replied indifferently, “I really do not know where your mother is. She asked me for some money in the afternoon, saying that she wanted to go out for dinner with her friends. However, since dad is in charge of our family’s money now, I told her that I had to ask for dad’s consent first. I did not give your mother any money because your dad did not consent to this matter. I think your mother was a little angry.”

Claire nodded thoughtfu

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 831

    Claire barely touched her chopsticks at all during dinner.She kept picking up her cell phone to try to call Elaine and she kept sending her many text messages but there was no response from her at all.On the other hand, Jacob has a very relaxed and contented look on his face. He felt that it would be great if Elaine had run away from home, just like Hannah did. If that was truly the case, then his life would truly be liberated.Claire was very anxious at this time and she kept saying that she wanted to go to the police station to make a police report. At this time, Jacob said, “Oh, Claire, your mother is already an adult. Perhaps she really has something to do outside? Why are you so worried about her? What if she really intended to run away from home? Are you really going to ask the police officers to drag her home then?”“How can that be possible?” Claire replied earnestly, “Mom has already been looking forward to moving into the villa at Thompson First for such a long time. No

    After searching around for a short while and not seeing Elaine anywhere, Jacob suddenly said, “Charlie, should we look for a place to eat some barbequed meat instead? Claire was rushing us so much during dinner tonight and I was eating in such a hurry so I am not full at all.”Charlie smiled before he said, “Okay, dad. I know of a roadside barbeque stall selling some really delicious barbecued meat.”Jacob patted his thigh before he said, “Let’s go. We should enjoy some roast meat and drink a couple of beers together tonight.”Charlie replied hurriedly, “Dad, I am driving so I can’t drink with you tonight.”Jacob waved his hand before he said, “We will just call for a driver then! It is a rare opportunity for us father and son to be able to enjoy a drink together. Your mother-in-law is always nagging and chanting into my ears all day long and it is really very annoying. Now that she happens to be away, shouldn’t we enjoy a drink together then?”Charlie shrugged before he smiled an

    As Charlie was considering the issue, Claire asked impatiently, “What about you and dad? Have you found any clues on mom?”“Um…” Charlie looked at the pile of skewers and beer in front of him before he said, “We are still looking at many different mahjong halls to look for mom. There are no clues on her whereabouts for the time being.”Claire sighed before she said, “Then you can continue looking for her. Loreen and I will also continue looking for mom now.”“Okay.” Charlie hurriedly replied, “Don’t worry, dad and I will definitely work hard to find mom!”“Okay.” Claire replied, “Then let’s hang up first. Give me a call to let me know if you have any clues at all.”“No problem!”When Charlie hung up the phone, Jacob was already enjoying his meat with a good appetite.Jacob drank a glass of beer before he poured out a glass of beer for Charlie. As he enjoyed the barbequed meat, Jacob said, “My good son-in-law, no one will be bothering us today. Let’s enjoy a good drink together.

    ”How could I explain myself?” Jacob replied, “No matter how much I tried to explain the situation, it was a fact that something had happened between Elaine and myself. Matilda is obsessed with cleanliness. She wanted her life to be clean, and she also wanted her relationship to be clean and pure. She knew that Elaine was the one who got me drunk and planned for everything to turn out like this. However, Matilda felt as though she could no longer accept someone like me. Therefore, she broke up with me without any hesitation at all and she went to the United States.”Charlie deliberately asked, “Then, do you still have thoughts of her?”Jacob opened up his heart as he replied, “How could I possibly not think of her? She was the first woman that I ever had in my life, and she was the only woman that I have ever loved. Otherwise, I would not have changed the password to unlock my cell phone to her birth date…”Charlie nodded slightly before he asked, “Then, have you inquired about her c

    Jacob would never have dreamt that he would receive another phone call from Matilda in this lifetime.What was more unexpected was the fact that Matilda was going to return to Oskia!Matilda went to the United States immediately after they graduated from college. After that, she continued living in the United States after she was done with her studies. None of their old classmates had seen her again ever since that day. It has already been more than twenty years since then.However, although he had not seen each other for more than twenty years, Jacob could not help but feel his heart getting stirred up as soon as he heard her voice.Therefore, he hurriedly asked, “Matilda, you…are you really coming back to Aurous Hill? When will you be coming back?”Matilda smiled before she said, “I will be getting on the plane soon. If everything goes smoothly, I will arrive at Aurous Hill by eleven o’clock in the morning. We should be able to have dinner together with all of our old classmates

    ”Yes!” Jacob replied excitedly, “The main point is that her husband is already dead! Hahaha! Don’t you think that god is helping me too?”Charlie nodded slightly before he said, “But dad, mom is not dead…”The expression on Jacob’s face changed before he said embarrassingly, “Don’t get me wrong. I am not cursing or hoping for her to be dead!”As he spoke, Jacob sighed before he said, “Don’t you think that it would be great if Elaine really eloped with another man, just like Hannah did?”Charlie shook his head helplessly. He was afraid that Jacob’s heart had already been fully occupied by Matilda who was about to return to Oskia soon. All the feelings that Jacob had left for Elaine had already completely disappeared.Charlie could only sigh as he said. “If Claire can accept mom’s disappearance as an elopement with someone else, then that would be perfect.”If Claire had the same attitude as Jacob did, then Charlie would just let Elaine disappear from the face of this world.For s

    Elaine felt seriously wronged as she laid on bed.She had not eaten anything for more than twelve hours now and she had endured a severe and violent beating. She was already starving at this point. Even if she could live without eating or drinking anything, she could not stop her stomach from growling or making any noise!However, Elaine did not dare to offend Jennifer.After all, this stinky woman would hit and beat her really hard.Elaine thought that everything would be okay if she simply covered her head with her blanket and tried to fall asleep instead. Who would have expected her unsatisfied belly to grumble at a moment like this?Jennifer stood up immediately before she stomped toward Elaine and greeted her with a tight slap across her face. Elaine felt that her extremely swollen cheeks were already exploding in pain after this slap from Jennifer.Elaine could only plead desperately, “I am sorry. I am sorry. I didn't mean to do it…”Since she had already lost her two fron

    After all, wouldn’t she have done the same if she was in the same situation as Elaine?Therefore, Lady Wilson did not intend to be kind or gracious toward Elaine at all.Moreover, Lady Wilson could not help but remember the humiliation that she had suffered at the villa at Thompson First today. At this time, she said coldly, “This is the result and price that you are paying for your own actions! You should just enjoy the consequences of your actions! This is just the first day. We are going to spend another fourteen days together!”After she was done speaking, Lady Wilson snorted coldly before she turned around and walked out of the toilet.Elaine was sitting on the toilet floor and she felt very hungry and cold. She really felt like crying because she was so helpless and desperate at this point. However, she immediately covered her mouth when she thought of the fierce and vicious Jennifer.However, she could not help it in the end and she simply hugged her legs tightly as she bur

    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

  • 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

    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

    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
