Chapter 959

Penulis: Lord Leaf
Mrs. Lewis hurriedly interjected, “Max, I can understand your kind intention, but we don’t have to go to such a high-end place just to celebrate my recovery. It’s too expensive!”

She continued, “Besides, it’s just a meal. I can cook for you guys, let’s just eat in the orphanage. This way, you can save your money for other purposes. Don’t spend it on me, it’s not worth it…”

She had been thrifty and frugal her entire life that she had never been to such a luxurious place before. Moreover, she would feel awkward and uneasy to dine at a place that would cost so much money.

However, Max smiled and said, “Mrs. Lewis, please don’t say that. You literally brought us up, it’s about time for us to repay your favor. Besides, I’m not the only one to cover the bill, I’ll share it with them!”

Seeing Mrs. Lewis’s hesitation, he persuaded, “Mrs. Lewis, don’t worry, it won’t be too expensive. The Hyatt Hotel is my company’s client, I can get some discounts on my visit, so it will cost them only a f

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 960

    The BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Series were quite equivalent in their range, but Max knew very well that Charlie’s BMW 520 was the lowest model in the 5 Series, while his Merc E300L was closer to the most premium model in the E-Class Series. There were also the E260 and E200 models below him.In other words, Charlie’s BMW 520 was of the same grade as the Merc E200, while his E300L was more advanced than his car in terms of its performance.He grinned coyly and said, “Hey, Charlie, I don’t want to condemn you, but you are being so vain. Experts have said that you must never buy the cheapest and lowest model in the series. Why did you buy this lousy beggar version 520 instead of the better model with the higher-spec in the 3 Series? Are you trying to show off?”Some asked curiously, “Max, what is the beggar version?”Max answered with a smug smile, “The beggar version means the car with the lowest specs in the series, the entry-level, the basic of them all.”Everyone

    “No can do!” Max shouted. When he saw Charlie start to back off, he jumped on him instead and said in a loud voice, “Guys, you heard him, right? You said it yourself, Charlie, ‘Hamilton can win because he is Hamilton, not because he has the best cars’. If so, let’s race and see if you really deserve the Schumacher nickname..”Charlie waved his hands timidly and said, “Hey, Max, just forget about the whole thing. We are not even at the same level, it’s not fair.”It truly wasn’t fair. A BMW 760 vs a Merc E300L was like sending a wolf after a Husky.Max assumed that Charlie was trying to talk him out of the race because he was scared, so he teased again, “Charlie, you were showing off just now, why have you become such a coward suddenly? Can't you man up in front of your wife?”Charlie replied, pretending to be annoyed, “Hey, Max, don’t say that. We’re childhood friends, why must you be so aggressive toward me? Yeah, you drive a great car, stop bragging about it! Do you think you can

    Max said, “Mrs. Lewis, please stay out of it, this is between Charlie and me. Besides, no matter who wins or loses today, the orphanage is the biggest winner. The resale value of my car is about four hundred grand, Charlie’s car is slightly cheaper, around two or three hundred grand. You can use the money to improve the facilities and buy things for the children in the orphanage.”Charlie said with a warm smile, “Mrs. Lewis, don’t you worry about us, Max and I will handle it personally.”Mrs. Lewis was actually afraid that Charlie was at the losing end of the stick, however, looking at Charlie’s confident smile, she felt that it was not as simple as she thought.Frankly, while she was receiving treatment in Eastcliff, she noticed something strange and peculiar.Firstly, she noticed that the doctors in the hospital were very polite and respectful toward her, almost as though she was a VIP patient.When she was in the hospital, a famous celebrity had come to Fairview Hospital to see

    The nosy guys cheered delightfully and hopped into the car, but since they only had two cars there, the rest had to take a taxi to Hyatt Hotel.Charlie got into the BMW 760. Claire sat in the front passenger seat while Mrs. Lewis, Stephanie, and Harvey sat in the back.Charlie said after starting the car, “Guys, sit tight. Later when I reach the straight road ahead, I can win the race with just a step on the accelerator.” Then, he looked at Mrs. Lewis and said, “Mrs. Lewis, please hold on to the handrails. Once I accelerate, I will win a Mercedes-Benz for the orphanage! You can sell it for three hundred thousand dollars, then use the money to buy toys and books for the children!”Mrs. Lewis nodded with a gentle smile. “I thank you on behalf of our children!”Meanwhile, five people were inside Max’s car, all of whom were his lackeys.Max drove and stopped beside Charlie’s car, wound down the window, and said with a smirk, “Hey, buddy, whenever you’re ready, man! I’ll give you a t

    If he really went back on his words, he would be a laughingstock forever!However, he didn’t want to give away his brand new car to the orphanage!For an instant, he even thought that he would simply drive away, skip the dinner, and never interact with his orphanage friends again in the future!Something struck his mind again and he had a change of plans. He shifted to the right lane swiftly and tailgated the car in front of him!Max had the perfect plan laid out in his mind, and that was to stage a car accident! That way, the race would be forfeited due to unexpected circumstances, so he would not lose!Thus, he eyed the cars on the road, searching for a scapegoat.At this moment, the guy in the front passenger seat yelped in horror, “Max! Max! You’re going to hit the car! You’re going to hit it!”Max smirked and thought, ‘Yeah, I want to hit it!’However, as he got closer and closer, he realized that it was a black Porsche Cayenne. He stepped on the brakes immediately!A Por

    Although the Porsche was a luxury car brand, an ordinary Cayenne was just over a million.German’s Volkwagen was considered a common car brand too, however, the Phaeton was a very rare and expensive model.The top-spec Phaeton was worth more than two million dollars which were equivalent to the top-spec Audi A8, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and BMW 7-Series.Earlier, Max was so taken aback by the Porsche Cayenne’s logo that he had instinctively tried to crash into a cheaper car. When he saw the Phaeton, he only recognized the Volkswagen logo and the car looked like a cheap Passat, so he ran into it swiftly.Never did he expect that it had turned out to be the underrated Phaeton…When he thought of the car’s price tag—2 freaking million dollars!—he was so depressed that he wished he could die right there and then.The parts-to-whole price ratio was an important element in a car that would reflect the auto maintenance cost in ordinary use. In other words, if the parts of a car were taken

    The Four Great Guardians were well-known figures in Aurous Hill, and Jayden was the most famous of them all.His nickname in the underworld was Chief Jay.Max never expected that he would run into Jayden’s Phaeton in order to avoid a Porsche Cayenne.He regretted his decision very much. If he knew that it would end up like this, he would have crashed his car into the Porsche!No! If he knew it would be like this, he wouldn’t agree to race with Charlie! It was a trap!Yes, that’s right!Charlie was to blame for all of this! The b*stard had tricked him! His BMW 520 must be a modified car since it was surprisingly powerful.If Charlie hadn’t set up the trap, he wouldn’t have made such a decision!Max hated Charlie very much as he thought of it.Jayden snorted at Max’s pale and shaky face, and growled, “Hey, show me your driver’s license and ID!”Max nodded profusely, went into the car to retrieve all the cards, and handed them to Jayden respectfully. Jayden glanced at the cards

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 967

    Max shivered in fright and horror. His mind was in a big mess, he didn’t know what to do.Jayden shrugged him off indifferently. He went back to his Phaeton to take his personal belongings and then tossed the car key to Max.“I have a spare key for this car, I’ll give it to you when you hand me the new car. Don’t worry, although I’m a mobster, I never blackmail anyone. I’ll take what’s mine, I won’t take anything that is not. We in the underworld have a principle—honesty!”“However, if you don’t fulfill my demand, I’ll track you down!”Then, he raised his hand to hail a cab, got in, and left like a gust of wind.Max’s friends watched the scene in awe and bewilderment.Jayden was truly the boss in the underworld, acting very decisively and with a no-nonsense attitude. He had simply tossed his 2 million dollar car here and left. He was so awesome.On the other hand, Max was crouching on the floor, wailing and crying.Where could he get the money to buy a new Phaeton? Even if he s

    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

    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
