The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 2581
Jacob was stunned by the scene in front of him before he could even finish saying the word ‘bath’.Right then, Matilda had gotten out of bed and was standing by the bed.The down jacket had been taken off her body and she wore only a home singlet, not to mention that the sleeves on both sides were pushed up above her elbows.How was Matilda so different at this time as compared to that sickly look just now?!Looking at her, it could be said that she was in a state of excellent spirit. Her complexion was rosy and lustrous…What was more exaggerated was that at this time, Matilda, who was stretching her arms forcefully, may have felt that it was not enough to relieve the tension. So, she simply jumped twice.Jacob was dumbfounded. After being amazed for quite some time, he finally came back to his senses. He stammered and asked, "That… Matilda… You… How did you get out of bed?!"Matilda said with a strong voice, "Jacob! I feel completely well thanks to your bowl of millet porridge

As he thought of this, Jacob could only say begrudgingly, "Well, since you want to run, I will definitely have to accompany you, then!""That's great!" Matilda was busy saying, "In that case, you can go out first. I'll change my clothes quickly and we'll leave immediately!""Okay..." Jacob, who was depressed, could only agree, turn around dejectedly, and go out the door.This bedroom, originally in his eyes, was the tender place he had left behind for almost thirty years.But now, he could only stand outside the door, waiting for Matilda to change her clothes inside.The key was that Matilda, after changing her clothes, was dragging him to go running…The depressed Jacob let out a long sigh, covering his face with one hand and holding his head with the other as he squatted down in front of Matilda's bedroom.As he was squatting down, he was still thinking, 'What went wrong in the end?! It's hard to believe that the millet porridge really had such a magical effect!'After three

While Jacob was running after Matilda by the riverside until his legs were almost broken, Charlie was only a few kilometers away from the Moore family's manor in the far suburbs of Aurous Hill.At this moment, in the banquet hall of the Moore family's manor, the father and daughter of the Ito family as well as Emi and Tanaka were talking with Lord Moore, who was accompanied by Jasmine.The cooperation between the Moore family and Nippon Steel was all because of Charlie, who had cured the chairman of Nippon Steel, Shinwa, but it was also thanks to Yahiko who had made the bridge.Moreover, after being saved by Charlie, Jasmine had also been under the Ito family’s care when she had encountered an accident in Japan.Therefore, Lord Moore was very polite to his guests.As for Nanako, she was busy whispering away with Jasmine. The two kept exchanging pleasantries and laughed uncontrollably from time to time, just like good sisters.The Akita dog that Nanako had brought with her was lyi

As Aurora stroked the head of the Akita pup, she looked at Nanako with an expectant face and asked, "Nanako, is this dog really for me?!""Yes!" Nanako nodded and smiled before saying seriously, "His name is Momotaro, and he is a little boy. Although he is a boy, he is very good-tempered and gentle. From now on, please take good care of him!"Aurora was very excited, and she said gratefully, "Nana-chan, thank you so much!"Nanako laughed, "We are all friends, why are you being so polite!"Aurora said with a red face, "I… I am embarrassed… I never had the chance to say sorry for hurting you like that in the competition before..."Nanako replied, "Since it was a competition, there are bound to be losses and wins. Some people will get injured. We were all competing fairly, so there is no need to be sorry. You must not take it to heart."Aurora said sheepishly, "But… But… I was..."All of a sudden, Aurora did not know how to explain.After struggling for a moment, Aurora ground her

Hearing the two talk about being saved by Charlie, Aurora was a little lost all of a sudden.With Momotaro in her arms, she sat on the floor and sighed, "Hey, suddenly I envy you guys so much..."The two couldn't help but look at her at the same time. Jasmine opened her mouth and asked, "Aurora, what are you envious of us for?"Aurora said seriously, "I envy you all for having the experience of being saved by Master Wade! Why have I not encountered such a thing..."Nanako hurriedly interrupted her and said offhandedly, "Aurora, don't talk nonsense! This kind of thing is not a joke!""That's right!" Jasmine also said very seriously, "Don’t talk nonsense! The most important thing is to be safe and sound!" Aurora said softly, "But… But I really envy you guys..."Jasmine and Nanako saw her stubbornness, and they could not help but look at each other simultaneously with a bitter smile. On one hand, the two were surprised at Aurora's odd thinking, and on the other hand, they

Jasmine nodded in admiration and lamented, "Maybe there is no one else other than him, just like a flower that can attract so many butterflies as well..." At this moment, several men in another corner of the banquet hall were also talking to each other happily. As everyone chatted, Lord Moore looked at Graham and smiled, "By the way, Mr. Quinton, don't you have a lot of business exporting to Japan recently? In the future, you can get in touch with Mr. Ito to see if there is any good direction for cooperation."Yahiko asked curiously, "Oh? Mr. Quinton also has business in Japan?"Graham nodded and said truthfully, "To be honest, I was initially in the medicinal herb business originally only for the domestic market in Oskia. However, recently, the export volume from Oskia to Japan has surged, accounting for half of all my medicinal herb sales, and it is still growing."Yahiko asked in surprise, "Mr. Quinton, is the amount supplied to Japan that large?"Graham said with a res

Seeing that Charlie had arrived, Graham took the lead and stood up, saying respectfully, "Master Wade, you're here! We were just talking about you!"Charlie laughed, "I heard you! Didn't you say you wanted to have drinks with me to your heart's content later?"Graham hurriedly laughed, "Indeed, I want to have drinks with you to my heart's content, but I definitely don't mean to fill you up."Charlie smiled and then said to Lord Moore, "Are you in good health lately, Lord Moore?"Lord Moore nodded repeatedly and said respectfully, "Master Wade, thanks to your blessing, I am in very good health."Charlie nodded, and at that moment, Yahiko, who was on the side, waved to Charlie and said with the same respect, "Hello, Mr. Wade, we meet again!"Charlie had long guessed that Yahiko must be here, but naturally, he still had to pretend to be very surprised on the surface, so he said, "Oh, it's Mr. Ito! I didn't expect you to be here too."After saying that, Charlie looked at Emi and Tan

Aurora pouted in an aggrieved manner before she said in a low and muffled voice, “I got it, Dad…”Charlie smiled at this time as he asked, “Let the housekeeper take care of the dog first. I’ll play with it after I’m done eating.”Lord Moore then hurriedly asked the housekeeper to take the dog out first.Everyone began to sit down, one after the other.Lord Moore sat on Charlie’s left while Yahiko sat on Charlie’s right.As for Emi and Hiroshi, both of them were originally unworthy to sit at the table to eat together with them. However, Charlie managed to get them to sit down at the table anyway.The relationship between a master and a servant was very clear and distinct in Japanese society. Sometimes, the title as a senior could easily make a junior demonstrate his respect, but it was relatively less rigid in Oskia. Moreover, Charlie was not the kind of person who cared so much about these details. So, he simply asked them to sit down together at the table.Emi and Hiroshi were

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
