Elaine trotted up the stairs to the second floor and tried to open the door to Charlie and Claire’s room. She grinned triumphantly when the doorknob twisted open easily.Once she was inside the room, she began to rummage through their stuff.However, it was their first day moving into the villa. They hadn’t had the time to keep their things in the closets and there was nothing valuable laying around.Elaine searched for a long time but couldn’t find Charlie’s wallet nor bank card. Just when she was in the midst of frustration, her eyes blinked enthusiastically when she saw Charlie’s coat hanging in the closet. She hurried forward and rummaged through the pockets for a while. Finally, she found a black and gold bank card in one of the pockets.The card was filled with words from some foreign language that she couldn’t comprehend except for the fact that the card was from Citibank. She didn’t know what kind of bank card it was even after looking at the cards back and forth carefull

Mrs. Lewis sighed, “It was my job to take you off the street and into the orphanage, but you don’t have the obligation to take care of me and pay for the expensive medical bills. Besides, I know very well how your life in the Wilson family is…”Then, she continued, “Don’t worry, Charlie, I’ll find a way to pay you back.”Charlie was moved. Mrs. Lewis had really treated him as her own son and cared so much about him.He said in a sincere tone, “Mrs. Lewis, you don’t have to worry about the money nor pay me back either.”“No, I can’t do that! It is a lot of money, I have to repay you!”“No, Mrs. Lewis. I’ll always remember your kindness towards me. It’s my duty to spend money on your treatment. If you still insist on paying me back, you’re treating me as a stranger and I might not want to see you again!”Mrs. Lewis smiled warmly at his remark, but she knew that she couldn’t accept his money just like that. She would return the money to him no matter what he said.But, she said on

Elaine immediately entered the wedding anniversary of Charlie and Claire into the ATM.The screen prompted, “Hello, honorable Citibank Supreme VIP member, your password is incorrect, you have one attempt left today.”“D*mn it!” Elaine cursed. “Wrong again? D*mn, I have only one chance left…”She was stomping anxiously, suddenly, a thought struck her mind. Could it be Charlie’s own birthday?She wanted to give it a try eagerly, but she suddenly realized that she didn’t know when his birthday was. She sheepishly took out her phone and called Claire.She hurriedly asked as soon as the call was answered, “Claire, when is Charlie’s birthday?”Claire asked skeptically, “Mom, why do you want to know?”She knew that her mother had always looked down upon Charlie, so she couldn’t comprehend why she wanted to know Charlie’s birthday so abruptly.Elaine said, abashed, “Oh, erm, Charlie got us a villa, didn’t he? He worked hard for that, so I want to reward him with something like celebrat

Elaine stared at the numbers on the ATM, shocked and befuddled!She felt like the world was crumbling all around her.Her heart was still thumping vigorously. She did not understand why Charlie had twenty billion in his account!“No way! How is it possible? Twenty billion! Am I crazy or is Charlie? Where did he get so much money?”Elaine’s hands were shaking violently. Twenty billion! Not two hundred dollars, not two million dollars, but twenty billion!She had never even dreamed of so much money in her life!Where did Charlie get so much money? Did he fool Bill Gates without their knowledge?At that very moment, her first thought was to call Charlie and ask him about the money.But the next second, she shook her head hard. “No! I can’t call him! He will know that I’ve stolen his card!”The thing she should do now was to transfer his money into her account as soon as possible before he found out!She immediately clicked on the transfer option and entered her bank account numb

‘Yes, I am Elaine. My execution style is like a tornado, wherever I go, I don’t leave anything behind!’Gripping the card tight in her hand, she walked into the bank, thrilled and determined.A young and enthusiastic young man approached her as soon as she walked in, “Hello, how may I help you? Let me get you a number.”Elaine waved the black card in her hand and said eagerly, “I would like to make a transfer!”The young woman was bewildered when she saw the card!All Citibank staff had undergone professional training before they started work. In one of the training classes, there was a section dedicated to explaining about the black card!The black card was Citibank’s most exclusive card. It was limited to one hundred cards in the world and there were only five in the country!Everyone owning the black card was Citibank’s super VIP customer that could enjoy a personalized treatment with utmost respect and hospitality by the top executives of any branch!The young staff had nev

Elaine felt a sense of comfort and at ease when she heard Dorian’s remark.So the ATMs were for ordinary people!Hahaha, by ordinary people, did he mean poor people? Haha!He was right. She was about to become a super-rich woman with a net worth of billions, how could her noble self perform the transaction in front of an ATM like those lowlifes?Elaine grinned triumphantly as she stretched herself and said, “Not bad, Lee, good job!”“Oh, you are too welcome!” Dorian said respectfully, “You want to make a transfer, am I right? I will assist you personally.”He sat opposite Elaine and turned on the computer in the VIP room.When the computer was turned on, he asked, “Ma’am, which account and how much are you going to transfer to?”Elaine took out her card, handed it to him along with the black card, and uttered, “Transfer 21.9 billion from this black card to this white ICBC card!”Dorian was startled to the point that he almost wet himself.“Ma’am…are you sure you want to trans
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 814
Then, Dorian said immediately, “I received a notification here that says the money has been transferred.”Elaine quickly opened the mobile banking app on her phone to check. She frowned frustratedly and asked, “Why haven’t I received it yet?”“Oh, don’t worry, this is 21.9 billion, after all. When such a large amount of money is involved, the banking system has to repeatedly confirm the transaction and also report it to the headquarters for filing purposes, so it will take a while for the transfer to complete.”Elaine growled in frustration. “Oh my god, are you kidding me? Do I have to wait? How long do I have to wait?!”“I’m not sure, it will take either tens of minutes or maybe up to one working day”“Oh my god, why does it take so long? Hurry and urge the system to work faster or I’ll order the Citibank to fire you!”“It’s not up to me to control it, it’s the decision from the headquarters. My hands are tied even if you sue me in court…”From the looks of it, Elaine determine

Charlie, who had always been calm and steady, couldn’t help being dumbfounded when he saw the message!There were a total of 21.9 billion deposited in his Citibank black card.Among that was the ten billion that had been originally in the account when Stephen first gave him the card.Then, there was the ten billion that he had exploited from Masao Kobayashi, and one billion he obtained from Jiro Kobayashi after his father’s death.There was also the one billion he had received from Lord Moore that he didn’t know how to deal with, so he had deposited the money into the card.Hence, he had a balance of twenty two billion in his account. But since he didn’t spend much of the money, there were 21.9 billion plus tens of millions in change.But now, someone had transferred 21.9 billion away! Who had done it?!The first person he thought of was the Wade family.Did they decide to take back his card because he was unwilling to return to the family for so long?No, it was highly unlike

If Charlie really did get Jimmy to stay, who knew what other rubbish Jimmy would spout.As for Jimmy, he was actually surprised Charlie was asking him to stay, and his instincts told him that Charlie definitely didn't mean well.Not only that, he was on foreign soil—wouldn't he be defenseless if Charlie called in his friends to beat him up?Hence, he shook his head without hesitation as he said, "I'm sorry, but my sister-in-law is quite keen for me to leave, so I have no reason to stay and add to her problems. And it is her big day. I can afford to let her save face instead of spilling the beans on her all at once.""Oh, but you were complaining about the lack of important people just now!" Charlie quickly interjected. "It just so happens that we have a big-shot on his way here, and he's a good friend of the groom. When I told him about you over the phone, he said to keep you here no matter what it took, since he would like to talk to you face to face."Jimmy frowned. "What, are y

And with those words, Jimmy turned to leave.Despite threatening Matilda, there was no such agreement, and he knew that Matilda was well aware of that.Regardless, the only strategy he had in mind when he came to Oskia was harassment. As such, he simply came up with a lie to make Matilda look bad in public. All it took from there was just for one person to relay what he had said—even if it were all lies, Matilda's character would still be called into question.He made himself very clear so that Matilda would understand that if she didn't give in, his family would keep hounding her to take their two pounds of flesh. Even if she wouldn't surrender the stateside estates and human resources of Smith Group Corporate Law, they would still claim a sizable chunk.But if that failed too, they would just have to destroy Matilda's reputation along with Smith Group Corporate Law.Either way, they were not letting her off easy!And reading that much from Jimmy's behavior, Matilda snapped co
Chapter 6603
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
Chapter 6599
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
