The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5748
Even though he was touched by his grandson's filial piety, he still felt unworthy of being a grandfather and thought he didn't deserve such deep filial piety from his grandson.When he heard that Charlie no longer blamed him, the huge burden in his heart finally fell.At this moment, Charlie looked at Keith and said, “Grandpa, on such a joyous day, I really want to have a drink with you. So, enjoy yourself and take this Rejuvenating Pill now. When we drink later, let's both have a few more glasses!”Seeing that Charlie had brought up the matter to this extent, Keith unloaded the burden in his heart and nodded heavily, saying, “Okay, Charlie, you will accompany Grandpa to enjoy some drinks later!”Lady Acker, who was next to them, was also delighted and said, “Charlie, Don Albert prepared some ingredients for me. I made a dish of stuffed eggplants that you used to love when you were young. Do you remember how they taste?”Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, “Of course I remember.

The two elderly people kept looking at each other, hoping to see the legendary effect of time turning back from each other's faces.The Rejuvenating Pill never disappoints. Once its effects kicked in, it was like a slideshow that was being played in fast-forward mode.The snow-white hair of the two elderly people quickly began to show patches of black, and the deep wrinkles on their faces seemed to diminish instantly. Their sagging faces also appeared to have gained the ability to defy gravity.As they looked at each other, they were both astonished and delighted to see their companion, whom they had spent most of their lives with and whom they had witnessed gradual aging, suddenly begin to rapidly grow younger. This miraculous experience elevated their feelings for each other once again.However, the biggest change was in their bodies.The old man’s brain which had been ravaged by Alzheimer's disease started to become clearer and more lucid. He was originally an extremely intelli

The table was filled with delicious dishes, most of which were prepared by the chefs from The Heaven Springs. Charlie was already accustomed to the taste of The Heaven Springs, so he wasn't particularly impressed. However, the eggplant dish prepared by his grandmother still brought back memories of his childhood.The Acker family members were even happier. Everyone poured themselves a drink, celebrating as a family because they had finally found Charlie. Their excitement was evident.After a few drinks, the Acker family members started chatting. They asked Charlie about the details of his life over the years while also providing him with detailed updates about the things the Ackers had been through.After that, the conversation turned to the times Charlie had saved the Ackers from danger. This provided Charlie with an opportunity to discuss the current risks the Ackers were facing.Charlie said, “I've always suspected that there must be other moles planted by the Qing Eliminating S

Lulu’s expression suddenly became somewhat uneasy. She had known her husband for over ten years, and their daughter was already twelve years old this year. She couldn't believe that her husband could be suspected of anything.But then again, she also knew very well that before the incident with Adrienne happened, she had been very affectionate with Jaxson. Everyone thought that Jaxson had married a beautiful, elegant, and kind wife, but who would have known that she would have wanted to kill the entire Acker family, sparing no one at all?!At this point, Keith added, “After the incident in New York last time, both Kaeden and I had great suspicion of Zekeiah, but not long after that, Adrienne committed suicide by taking poison. So, our focus shifted entirely to Adrienne. Thinking about it now, it's hard to clear suspicion away from Zekeiah.”Charlie then spoke up and said, “I think what Grandpa said makes a lot of sense. If we calculate this matter based on this timeline, Uncle Zekei

Charlie knew that it was the best time for him to bluff now. The plane that the three elders from Qing Eliminating Society were on had turned back over the ocean, proving that Fleur was afraid.Since she was afraid, it was time for him to strike while the iron was hot.The Ackers wouldn't leave Aurous Hill for the time being, and there were definitely spies from the Qing Eliminating Society within the Ackers. By taking advantage of this opportunity to spread the word, it could also serve as a deterrent.The current Acker family members had complete trust in Charlie. Since Charlie said so, everyone naturally had no objections and planned to follow Charlie's instructions.As for Lulu's husband, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to start probing him immediately. After all, in his opinion, if the Ackers kept a low profile from now on and didn't give any outsiders a chance to pry into their secrets, the situation could be stabilized.As for Fleur, since she had received his threat, she would

Charlie chuckled and said, “Grandma, don't worry. The alcohol has already been consumed by my internal qi, so I won’t be drunk driving.”After saying that, Charlie added, “By the way, Grandpa, Grandma, I'll go to Willow Manor tomorrow to transfer the formation for the Rejuvenating Pill here. You two should live in Aurous Hill for a while longer. Your health will improve even further then.”Lady Acker subconsciously said, “Charlie, don't waste the Rejuvenating Pill on us again…”Lord Acker, who was aside, also said very seriously, “I just said that Charlie can make all the arrangements, so you don't need to contradict me.”For Keith, he had already taken a whole Rejuvenating Pill. In fact, the formation wasn't that important to him anymore, but he recognized a basic logic: since Charlie had asked them to follow his arrangements, he naturally had to abide by that decision, regardless of whether Charlie's decision was beneficial or detrimental to him.Lady Acker’s thoughts were actua

At night at Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, everyone except Vera had already retreated. After Charlie arrived by car, he passed through the courtyard directly and ascended the stone steps. As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Vera was already there. Upon seeing Charlie, she greeted him with an expression of joy and shyness, “Young Master…”At that moment, Vera was dressed in a white dress, and her long hair, which fell down her shoulders, still seemed a little damp. The adjacent hot spring pool was still filled with many flower petals floating on the surface, giving the entire courtyard a faint floral fragrance.Charlie subconsciously guessed that Vera had just finished bathing, so he refrained from looking at the hot spring pool and focused on her instead. He said with a hint of nervousness, “Miss Lavor, I apologize for disturbing you so late at night. Besides the matter I promised the three elderly gentlemen earlier, I also have some things that I need you to help me solve.”Vera b

Charlie said, “I just met my grandparents’ family. My eldest uncle mentioned that my father happened to obtain a book called the Preface to the Apocalyptic Book. Although my eldest uncle didn't know what was written in the book, he remembered my father often mentioned terms like the ‘fate of the ascending dragon’. I once heard Master Lennard say that people's destinies can be categorized into different destinies such as the fate of the python and the fate of the dragon, but I didn't know what the fate of the ascending dragon is.”Vera didn't answer Charlie's question but curiously asked, “When you mentioned Master Lennard, which Master Lennard are you referring to? What's his name?”Charlie replied, “He is Chandler Lennard, the direct descendant of the Feng Shui master, Master Brice Lennard…”Vera murmured, “Gold is solid, wood is tough, water is clear, fire burns, earth is hard, and wind is strong. The Chandler Lennard you mentioned should be the great-grandson of Jory Lennard, my

Jimmy didn't expect Matilda to break down the share ownership of Smith Group Corporate Law to such detail, and he hollered as he was starting to feel embarrassed, "Now, you're just being irresponsible, Matilda. My father gave my brother a million to start the law firm in the first place, and they had agreed that the family would have a stake, albeit only at 49%, to not deny your decision-making as a startup. Or are you denying it?"Matilda immediately became furious and snapped, "Bullshit! That was just a loan of one million, and the agreed term was three years. However, your brother returned it in one! I even asked him to return the money with every single one of his siblings watching, since you might all get skeptical, yet suddenly, you're calling it an investment?""You said he's returned it? Well, what proof do you have?" Jimmy quickly shot back. "Our entire family can testify that the money hasn't come back to us!""So, this is how you're going to play it?" Matilda smirked. "Th
Chapter 6602
In the first place, Jimmy had come to Oskia to claim a stake in Smith Group Corporate Law, ideally strong-arming Paul and Matilda into splitting the firm in two, with Jimmy taking everything in the States while Paul kept what was left.The way Jimmy saw it, Paul and Matilda were going to be permanently residing in Oskia anyway. There was no way they could manage things over in another country properly, so it was basically returning the firm to the rightful owner.Naturally, Jimmy also knew that despite bearing the Smith family name, the success of Smith Group Corporate Law was all the work of Jimmy's brother and Matilda. Jimmy's father had helped to a certain extent, but that extent of financial support wouldn't amount to an investment at all. No judge in the world would support his claim to the law firm's shares.Therefore, when he learned that Matilda was remarrying, he thought he could seize the moment to cause a scene. Nothing could be better if she and Paul decided to sacrifice

Jimmy deliberately raised his voice as he said coolly, "Oh, but I didn't want to intervene. It's you and your mother who left the States in a split second, taking with you the law firm which bears the Smith family name. Don't you think such behavior is inappropriate?"Seeing the surprised reactions of the guests, Paul promptly retorted, "The law firm uses the Smith family name, but it is my parents' legacy! They worked blood and sweat to build it from the ground up, and as their only son, I have a veto when it comes to decisions. Or did we need your permission to move to Oskia?""Where's your conscience, Paul?" Jimmy pursed his lips. "Even if you don't know how Smith Group Corporate Law was founded, is that the case for you? It would have been a joke if it weren't for my father's connections!"Hell, it's no exaggeration that it was my father who fought to expand the law firm across America, and just using the family name means you're borrowing the family's influence. The family hono

The blonde man's voice drew everyone's attention in an instant.Despite his foreign appearance, he spoke Oskian fluently and walked with a haughty gait, almost as though he was above the rest.Paul's expression turned grim the instant he saw him, and he hurried over with Charlie.Still, before Paul could speak, Charlie stopped him, frowning at the man as he said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate to come slinging personal attacks at someone else's wedding?"The man clearly didn't know Charlie, and he wasn't worried, seeing that he was young.Snorting in disdain, he asked, "You must be from the groom's family, yes? Please tell him that he doesn't deserve my sister-in-law.""It's up to the happy couple to decide that," Charlie retorted quietly. "Deserving someone is no issue as long as they both love each other."The man pursed his lips and looked pointedly around him. "Just look at how simple this wedding is. Forget picking an unassuming city like Aurous Hill—is there a single

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
