Charlie raised a hand to interrupt him and then said seriously, “Uncle Janus, I am asking for an explanation on my father’s behalf right now. I think that any decent person would have abided by the promise that he made to others even if the other party has already passed away!”Having said that, Charlie looked at Shawn and said coldly, “Although my father is no longer here, as his son, I will pay for what he owes others, and I will also collect what others owe him on his behalf!”When Shawn heard this, he was so flustered that he could not stop shaking violently. The reason why Shawn had not taken the agreement that he had made with Curtis into consideration at that time was mainly because he felt that Curtis and Ashley had already been abandoned by both the Wade and Acker family. Otherwise, both families would not have sat back and watched them both get killed. It was precisely because of this that he had not taken the promise that he made to Curtis to heart at all.Many people

Shawn was so frightened by Charlie’s words that he nearly fainted.He secretly thought to himself, ‘When that prodigal son, Rudy, provoked Charlie, Charlie extorted ten billion US dollars from him within a span of ten years. I offended Charlie’s father twenty years ago, and I even went back on my own word. According to this perspective, this crime of mine is even worse than Rudy’s...’As he thought of this, he almost cried as he pleaded repeatedly, “Mr. Wade, I’m to blame for not being trustworthy and reneging on my promise. I really know that I was wrong now. I am willing to fly overnight to repent and admit my mistakes in front of your father, Curtis’s grave. I’m also willing to grovel before Janus and apologize to him. As long as you can forgive me this time, I can assure you that I will never make things difficult for Janus again in the future. From now on, Janus will be my brother, and I will definitely do my best to do anything that you want me to do!” Charlie sneered and sai

Although he looked as though he was a happy person who was always smiling, this old man was, in fact, a downright miser.He knew about Rudy’s previous experience, yet he could still offer Charlie a price of merely two billion US dollars over twenty years. This showed that he clearly wanted money more than he cared about his life.However, Charlie did not really want his money.For him, he currently only had two demands. The first was to make Shawn pay for the breach of his promise to his father, and the second was to make Shawn come up with compensation to make it up to Janus. The second matter could be solved with money, but the first matter was never a question of money.Charlie would never use his father’s name so that he could go and wantonly make money out of Shawn. In Charlie’s opinion, Shawn should pay a price other than money for this matter, and this price should include but was not limited to personality, dignity, and also physical punishment. However, he did not wa

Charlie’s words frightened Shawn so much that he fainted directly. Jenna, who was beside him, hurriedly reached out her hands to hold him and support his head. She shook him as she shouted in his ear, “What’s wrong with you, Shawn?! Wake up, Shawn! Don’t scare me like this...”Thanks to Jenna’s screams, Shawn woke up with a start. The first thing he did when he woke up was to look at Charlie as he cried and said, “Mr. Wade, you’re killing me! How can I possibly afford to give you twenty billion US dollars in ten years?!”As Shawn said that, he cried bitterly and said, “It’s true that I was not trustworthy and went back on my word, but you cannot take advantage of this matter to ask me for so much money! You might as well kill me directly if you want so much money from me! Why don’t you kill me? If you kill me, my inheritance can still be left to Marianne and all my other children. However, if I make you that promise, I will be left with nothing, and their futures will also be penni

“It’s okay.” Charlie waved his hand. “You can go ahead and buy it first. Get an invoice for the amount that you spend, and I will reimburse you for it. If you don’t have money to pay in advance, you can call me when you have decided, and I will arrange for someone to go over to settle the bill.”Shawn became even more and more frightened. He knelt down and said with an expression full of remorse, “Mr. Wade, I am sincerely repentant now. Please give me another chance, and we can discuss the specific amount...”Charlie smiled slightly, “Mr. Long, there is no need for us to continue discussing such matters. I don’t want your money. You can just go ahead and die, and you won’t have to worry about anything else.”Shawn was so frightened at this point that he instantly burst into tears. He felt that if Charlie really wanted to take his life, he would not have any way to survive at all. Even if he was a billionaire, Porter would have ten thousand ways to kill him in one day.As Shawn thou

Charlie did not continue covering up in the face of Marianne’s questioning. He asked Marianne, “Miss Long, do you know that your father once made a promise to a man named Curtis Wade more than twenty years ago, saying that he would not continue causing trouble for a young man named Janus Campbell? However, Curtis Wade passed away due to an accident not long after that, and your father then broke his promise immediately, causing Janus Campbell to live in hiding in Oskiatown for more than twenty years.”Marianne’s eyes widened as she stared at Charlie in disbelief and asked him, “What... What is your relationship with these two people?”Charlie said indifferently, “Curtis Wade is my father, and Janus Campbell is my father’s good friend.”When Marianne heard this news, she was instantly shocked. She stared at Charlie, choked up, and said, “So, that means that you did not come to Hong Kong and stay in our house to discuss a collaboration with my father at all. You were deliberately appr
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4571
So, he knelt down in front of Charlie again and begged, “Mr. Wade, Marianne is right. I really haven’t done anything truly evil to hurt anyone, and no matter how bad I am, I do not deserve to die. Please spare my godd*mned life! I will give you all the money that you want from me!”At this time, Marianne also suddenly knelt down and lowered her head as she said, “Mr. Wade, money is a material item. As long as you are willing to give my father a chance to repent, we will not hesitate to give you any sum of money that you ask for!”Charlie did not expect that Marianne would kneel as well. So, he hurriedly reached out his hand as he tried to help her up.However, Marianne resisted and said expressionlessly, “Mr. Wade, I will not get up if you refuse to agree to my request. Please kill me too if you really want to take my father’s life.”Charlie looked at the resentful expression in Marianne’s eyes, and he felt his heart throb a little. So, he could not help but sigh as he looked at Sh

Shawn’s whole spirit and will had long been destroyed by Charlie. He could no longer consider his gain or loss now, and his only wish was to be spared from death.Therefore, he was willing to agree to all the conditions that Charlie was about to propose without any hesitation at all.When Charlie saw that Shawn had conceded completely and that he had also achieved his purpose of disciplining him, Charlie said coldly, “Shawn, listen carefully to me. The first thing I want you to do is to pay Uncle Janus twenty years of salary according to the highest salary drawn by professional managers in Hong Kong. After that, you should pay an additional two times the compensation. The first will be used as compensation for Uncle Janus’s loss of youth, and the other will be regarded as emotional compensation for Uncle Janus’s family.”Having said that, Charlie then said again, “That means that you will be paying Uncle Janus sixty years' worth of salary all at once according to the salary of the h

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6478
Soon, the video of Mick's staged act was uploaded to the online group, and everyone eagerly watched it as soon as it was done uploading.Mick certainly set a new bar with his acting as none of them could see that it was an act.Moreover, everyone could see that the bronze sculpture looked like the real deal, and they might have been swindled if it were them.As such, they couldn't help being impressed as Mick had easily seen through Billy's con, and he was the definition of a pro in that video.No matter how Billy had packaged it, there was no tricking real experts like Mick Crane. Just a quick glance and he had seen through that it was a postmodern replica, matched with a base from the Renaissance era to misdirect and beguile.With that, many fellow antique dealers changed their opinion of Mick.After all, Vintage Deluxe's business had been declining after Mick took over as manager, and people were presuming that his skills were lacking.But now, they were all shown that he had

"Amazing, Mr. Crane!""It's Mr. Crane who shines through, in the end! His eyes see through everything!""I guess Miss Moore made the right choice firing Raymond and appointing Mr. Crane! Mr. Crane is infinitely better!"Mick was immediately thrilled to see them fawning over him, and he laughed, "You flatter me—I'm merely sharing my personal perspective on this. In this trade, anyone who knows would understand how hard it is to get the good stuff in this age of technology.""There are plenty of people who hold ulterior motives and change their tactics knowing that there are always those scheming to get their hands on vintage treasures, so they just have to make it. That is how they started making counterfeits of everything, from scrolls to sculptures to statues, each of them so real just to trick those fools who think they could get rich overnight!""Exactly!" Someone promptly agreed. "There's never a lack of any such fools, and I just happened to meet one. I had this piece of jade

In groups like these, any gossip would immediately spread like wildfire as people share everything here with their other circles.Within minutes of these people's good work, Antique Street was abuzz even as the skies darkened: one of the antique traders had been swindled for 300 thousand, and it was Raymond Cole—the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe at that!Some of them wondered when Raymond had actually returned while others were laughing.He was supposed to be the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe, but he had messed up as well? You had to be kidding!Many were dumbstruck too—how would Raymond survive in Antique Street after losing so much money? It had been so long since such a major scam had been pulled!As such, all the antique dealers were asking one question: how did Raymond Cole get fooled?Meanwhile, Mick didn't leak the security footage right away, instead sending his people out to spread the news in other channels, claiming that Raymond thought he had won big by

Mick had already clipped the security footage and was waiting for Zachary's word.He had checked the footage repeatedly as well and was only getting more impressed with his masterful acting by the second. He looked just like a maestro, and every detail he mentioned was flawless and showed experience.Zacahry even said that Raymond had truly slipped up with that bronze sculpture, leaving him endlessly thrilled.The proverbial missing piece of the puzzle was here!Hence, calling all the staff he trusted, he told them excitedly, "Spread the word right away—Raymond Cole slipped up, spending 300 thousand on a fake Renaissance-era bronze sculpture!"His staff had no idea of the conspiracy involved, only that Mick had said that someone had tried to sell a counterfeit bronze sculpture but he had seen through it right away and chased him away, only for Raymond to end up buying the fake bronze sculpture soon after.Someone asked, "Mr. Crane, don't you think Raymond Cole bought from the man

Raymond had said everything he should and shouldn't and with complete sincerity exactly because Billy would never believe it.As Billy just wanted to swindle him, it didn't matter how sincere Raymond was—he wanted the 300 thousand whatever it took. The key here was that Billy had refused a better prospect when told it was possible, and there was evidence that would support Raymond if either he or Zachary realized the truth and came to start trouble.That meant Raymond had nothing to worry about—they could take this to the United Nations but he'd still win this case.Having been in the antique trade for so long, he had seen every form of oddity and was always cautious with people, considering every aspect of any issue.Hence, once he downloaded the security footage to his phone, Raymond decided that he needed to sell the bronze sculpture—not because he was in urgent need of money, but because he realized that there were those who wanted him out of Aurous Hill's Antique Street.Afte

There were those in Antique Street who made their living from swindling the average Joe while others swindled antique traders.In fact, it was already cliche for them to trick antique traders with forgeries, and it was not surprising that someone had tried their luck on the opening day of Raymond's shop.As such, it was strange that he had just started today without any hype or even a proper shop sign, but someone was already after him.That told him that he was being targeted, and Raymond was putting his money on Zachary.The sole reason for that was how Zachary had come earlier to ask Raymond about how much capital he had, and he had humbly said a few hundred thousand.The fact that Billy had come and immediately demanded 500 thousand made even more sense—he wanted to siphon all of Raymond's capital.Even losing money wasn't the worst part—the worst was being labeled as an amateur.When that happened, customers who wanted the good stuff wouldn't come to him, and he would find

Just as Jacob was celebrating fooling Raymond, getting his revenge, and earning 200 thousand on top of that, Charlie was left musing to himself on the second floor of the teahouse.He knew that Billy was a conman as soon as he saw him, but he didn't understand why Raymond would buy from Billy.Could the item really be medieval as Raymond stated?As soon as the thought occurred to him, Charlie was sure of it. Given Raymond's knowledge of antiques, there was no way he would mess up in Antique Street of Aurous Hill.While his father-in-law and Zachary had worked hard to weave this elaborate conspiracy, Charlie still wondered how they would take the news that Raymond had bought something worth millions for just 300 thousand.Meanwhile, Raymond watched as Billy left and locked the door from the inside before studying the bronze sculpture once more.He trusted his own judgment that it was a gilded bronze statue from the medieval era. He was playing down its importance since the bronze

Meanwhile, Raymond sighed unhappily. "I really can't afford four hundred grand—like I said, there's not much to offer here in my shop, which I've been investing a lot in. I'd have to pay rent to the owner soon as well, and everything would end terribly for me if I paid that much…"Billy blurted right then, "You said it's medieval and worth millions, didn't you? You'd make a fortune if you sold it!"Raymond sighed again. "Million-dollar antiques aren't that easily sold, and people would be especially skeptical with a small business like mine. I could sell it at an auction too, but that's only happening when someone decides to organize one, not to mention the troublesome appraisal processes it involves.""And right now, I just think it's medieval in terms of style, but I'm no authority in the matter. In the end, it's up to experts and specific groups that would verify it, and if I messed up, it's entirely my loss.""Even if I'm lucky and it's medieval, I'd still have to wait until th
