Jacob prayed to God, hoping that Elaine would never come back again. She had tormented him for more than 2 decades, he had accomplished the unthinkable because of this, it was time to set him free.If Elaine never came back, he was certain that he could be with Matilda again and resumed their previous relationship.He even thought that Matilda’s son was a quite nice person who was open-minded enough to accept him as his stepfather.As for Claire, she was a sensible and filial daughter. If her mother was indeed missing, she wouldn’t object to him pursuing his true love. After all, he could not live alone for the rest of his life after Elaine disappeared.His only concern right now was whether Elaine would return.So he could only pray to God for his wish to come true.However, he didn’t know that it was not up to God to decide on this, but his son-in-law, Charlie.***When Charlie arrived at the entrance of Shangri-La, the hotel staff immediately marched forward and opened the d

Jacob’s concern was straightforward and simple, he was worried that Elaine would return home suddenly in the next two days. His precious chance to invite Matilda over to his house would be thrown out the window if she did return.He wouldn’t dare, even if anyone pointed a gun at him, to invite Matilda to his house when Elaine was at home. Elaine would kill him there and then!Hence, he should grab the chance when it comes his way as soon as possible.Matilda stumbled into the reminisce of her past too.Since she was from Sudbury, she had to live in a dormitory when she was studying in Aurous Hill.Moreover, back in those days, people were not open-minded enough to brag about them being in a relationship, they were rather shy and low-key, they didn’t even dare to let their family know. She always wanted to cook a meal for Jacob but they never found a suitable time and venue to do so.In fact, it was not as convenient as it was now.Nowadays, couples could simply rent a hotel apar

Charlie understood right away that the two elderly people must have some unusual memories of “cooking” or “coming home with him” that made them react so awkwardly.Paul also noticed the peculiarity, but he was too embarrassed to point it out, so he turned to Charlie and said, “Charlie, let’s go to our suite first.”Then, he turned to Matilda and said, “Mom, you’ve been on the plane for more than ten hours, you must be tired. Let’s go to the suite and talk if you have something to say to Uncle Wilson.”Matilda suddenly regained her composure. She was thinking about her past with Jacob and even recalled the details of their first love-making experience. She blushed shyly and said, “Oh, look at me, I’m so absent-minded! Yes, let’s go to our suite and talk!”Jacob echoed hurriedly, “Yes, let’s go to the suite. It’s my fault, once I started talking, I forgot about all of it!”Charlie shook his head and even sighed helplessly. They were like firewood and raging fire finding each other a

Charlie didn’t expect that Paul would ask such a straightforward question! However, he knew that Paul was simply guessing and he would never admit it.Before he could deny it, Jacob chuckled and said, “Oh, Paul, you are overthinking this. Charlie is our family’s live-in son-in-law. If he really is from the Wade family of Eastcliff, it would be a Cinderella story! All of us would prosper!”Although Jacob was kind of a slack who hadn’t worked for a day in his life, he knew about the Wade family.In fact, there were not many people in the country who didn’t know the Wade family because they were so famous.Because of this, he was absolutely certain that Charlie was not one of them. There were a lot of people with the last name Wade in the world, but there was only one Wade family.He knew Charlie’s life experience like the back of his hand. He lived in the orphanage when he was young, then worked on the construction site at the age of 18, later, Lord Wilson took him home when he was

Matilda asserted, “Wow, I didn’t expect that you still remembered all of it. Frankly, I don’t even remember some of the dishes myself.”Then, she sighed and continued, “Actually, the Sudbury cuisine is delicious too, but, I don’t know why, ever since I attended college here, I prefer Aurous cuisine more.”Jacob said with a regretful smile, “I still remember that you always said that you wanted to make a few Sudbury dishes for me to try, it’s a pity…”He sighed and quickly asked, “Oh yes, by the way, Matilda, what do you think about going to my house to cook dinner? To be honest, I’ve been waiting for so many years, I hope that my dream can come true someday!”Matilda was touched by his remark and uttered, “I’m okay, but I don’t know if Paul is available tonight.”Then, she turned to Paul and asked, “Son, do you have any plans tonight? If not, how about we go to Uncle Wilson’s house for dinner later? I would love to meet his daughter too.”Paul nodded graciously. “No problem! Let’

After all, Paul had grown up in a strict upbringing with high intellectual development, he was quite a broad-minded and unbiased gentleman. Thus, he was calm and collected when he heard Charlie describe his ‘job’, unlike others who usually looked at him differently afterward.As for Charlie, there was nothing for him to feel embarrassed or ashamed of. He was a live-in son-in-law for three years now, it was nothing new for people to learn that he was a moocher.At this moment, Paul said, “By the way, Charlie, since you know Mr. Cameron from Shangri-La, I wonder when is it convenient for you to introduce him to me? Well, I intend to actively expand my local resources and network in Aurous Hill since I’ll be shifting my company here. I will be very grateful if you can help me with this.”Charlie didn’t want Paul to know how close he was to Isaac Cameron. He almost guessed his connection with the Wade family just now, after all, it could be possible that he would discover more details a

Jacob glanced at Matilda in bewilderment. “Matilda, are you very proficient in law and the firm?”Paul chuckled and said, “Uncle, don’t underestimate my mother. In fact, she is also a Ph.D. graduate from Yale. She and my father met at the Master’s School at Yale and married afterward. Later, my father founded the law firm and my mother was always there to assist him. If not because of my mother, my father’s career would not take off and sail so smoothly.”Then, he sighed, “Too bad I’m still not capable of handling the firm myself yet, so I need my mother’s help to assist me.”Matilda chuckled, “Son, you have done a great job. I hope that you can grow up as soon as possible and take over the company as a whole, then I can finally enjoy my retirement.”She couldn’t help sighing, “Now that I’m back to Oskia and Aurous Hill, my biggest dream is not to start our family business here, but to enjoy the retirement life of an Oskian old lady peacefully.”Then, she secretly gazed at Jacob a

The lunch gathering at Shangri-La was delightful and fun. Jacob and Matilda were feeling equally happy. She was feeling under the weather after her husband’s death but it seemed that the sky had cleared now.Paul was very pleased to see his mother in such a good mood.As for Charlie, he felt sorry for his father-in-law.The reason was nothing more than Matilda being too perfect for him. He couldn’t imagine what would happen when such a glamorous, elegant, wealthy lady who was also single returned to Aurous Hill. She would attract a lot of attention, especially the pursuit of other wealthy old men, which would only accumulate troubles for Jacob.Matilda and Paul were rather exhausted after traveling for long hours back to Oskia. Hence, after lunch, Jacob and Charlie sent them to their room at Shangri-La.Again, Jacob was taken aback because Matilda and Paul checked into the extremely luxurious executive suites.The executive suite in Shangri-La was second only to the presidential

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
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.

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
