Chapter 16

Author: Lord Leaf
Sabrina crossed her arms in front of her chest and said in a pompous tone, “Yeah, I despise you, so what? Can’t you bear some criticism now, you loser?”

“Everyone in college knows that you married Claire and became their live-in son-in-law after graduation! A miserable loser who couldn’t even afford a decent meal in college and a toyboy after graduation! How dare you come looking for my help being such a big loser as you are? Who do you think you are?”

A rage of fury was slowly burning inside Charlie.

One would not attack unless attacked first. Sabrina was going too far this time!

Right at this moment, he received a text message from Stephen. “Young Master, the Wade family owns Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. The Shangri-La of Aurous Hill is just one of our many Shangri-Las throughout the world.”

Charlie’s pupil shrank in astonishment!

Did he just say that the Wade family owned Shangri-Las?

He responded reflexively, “You’re not bluffing, are you?”

“Of course not. The person in charge of Aurous Hill’s Shangri-La is Isaac Cameron, his number is 155…, please give him a call and he will settle everything for you.”

“Okay.”

Sabrina was a little agitated by Charlie’s attitude, staring at his phone and texting while she was mocking him.

She felt like she was abusing a dog and of course, she wanted to hear the dog yelp.

Unexpectedly, Charlie didn’t say anything.

It proved that in his case, time did not change anything. He was a loser since college, and he was the same loser now who didn’t even budge after being insulted.

Hence, she increased the cockiness in her tone and sneered, “Hey, Mr. Class Rep, you’re pretty good at putting up with insults!”

“Oh yes, by the way, I heard that you and Claire have not slept together after being married for three years. Is Claire actually someone else’s mistress and you’re nothing but a smokescreen for her affairs? Hahaha!”

Charlie frowned indignantly.

‘Not only did you insult me, but you also insulted my wife. Sabrina Lee, you’re digging your own grave!’

Enraged, he called Isaac Cameron’s number. He stared at Sabrina and said flatly while waiting for the call to be answered, “I’m going to ask your person in charge about how Shangri-La recruits employees, for even people with a foul mouth like you can work here!”

“What? How dare you taunt me? You really need a beating!” Sabrina growled furiously and shouted to the guards beside her, “He’s here looking for trouble, beat him!”

At this moment, his call was answered.

“Hello, who is it?”

A charismatic male voice came from the other end of the line.

Charlie said coldly, “Are you Isaac Cameron? I am Charlie Wade, I’m now at the entrance of Shangri-La. I’ll give you a minute to get the h*ll here or you can just get out of Shangri-La!”

Upon hearing it, the man who was originally full of charisma immediately panicked and stuttered, “Young…Young Master? Are you really at the Shangri-La now?”

“Fifty seconds!”

The man yelped over the phone and blurted frantically, “Please wait a moment, I’ll be there right away!”

Sabrina smirked as she listened to Charlie’s phone conversation and mocked sarcastically, “Hey, Charlie, I didn’t know that you’re so good at blowing your own horn! Do you know who Mr. Cameron is? Even the most prestigious members of Shangri-La dare not to be so pompous in front of Mr. Cameron! Do you really think you can fool me by pretending to make a call?”

Charlie glared at him and said faintly, “You’ll know in thirty seconds if I’m fooling you!”

Sabrina laughed contemptuously. “Okay, our beloved class rep! I’ll wait for thirty seconds! Oh no, let’s make it three minutes. If Mr. Cameron doesn’t show himself in three minutes, I’ll let the guards tear your bluffing mouth off your face, you lying little prick! Hahaha! This is so funny!”

Twenty seconds later, a middle-aged man in a top-of-the-line bespoke suit ran towards them in a panic.

He was a dog who worked for the Wade family. He was also a very powerful dog.

Ever since he had been appointed as the general manager of the Shangri-La in Aurous Hill, he became one of the most respectable icons in the city. When was the last time he was ever so panicked and anxious?

However, his panic was understandable. He had never imagined that the young master of the Wade family would appear at Shangri-La, which was under his management…

Sabrina intended to continue insulting Charlie when she suddenly saw the guards looking pale and horrified as they glanced behind her.

She followed their stunned gazes and turned around when she saw Mr. Cameron emerge. Her eyes opened widely as if she had been struck by lightning.

Then, she turned back at Charlie, her eyes full of horror. “This… how… how is it possible…”

“Who is Mr. Charlie Wade?”

Isaac’s voice was trembling in fear and disbelief.

Everyone stared at him in bewilderment, stunned. The man who could easily shake Aurous Hill by simply stomping his feet had become so terrified and frightened that even his voice changed!

Charlie said loudly, “I am!”

Isaac quickly rushed towards him and bowed. “Young…”

Charlie interjected immediately, “Mr. Cameron, some things are not suitable to be said out loud in public.”

Isaac was shaking with jitters upon the statement.

‘Oh, my goodness! I’m such a stupid dog! Young Master’s identity must be highly confidential, yet I almost called him out! If I offend Young Master, it will be the end for me!’

Thus, he hurriedly changed the address but still spoke in a respectful tone, “Mr. Wade, welcome to Shangri-La. Please follow me to my office for further discussion.”

Sabrina was utterly stunned. She could not accept the fact but it had unfolded right in front of her eyes.

Who was Charlie Wade really? What was his real background? How could he make the big boss of Shangri-La bow before him like a lowly peasant?

He wouldn’t bear a grudge against her for her mockery, right?

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7197

    Yule and Rachel traded glances, their eyes wide in excitement as they took the pills at the same time.They were a happy couple, and taking a Rejuvenation Pill each meant they'd spend decades more in each other's company.Their appearances changed dramatically right after they took the pills, too.While Rachel had always maintained her beauty and looked hardly fifty, she was now positively radiant with the Rejuvenation Pill. Her youthful appearance made her look closer to Quinn, too, and they looked more like sisters.Most importantly, they felt as though they had shed dozens of pounds. Aging was inevitable considering their years, and it always felt like rolling down a downhill slope. But with the Rejuvenation Pill, they seemed to be twenty years younger, their creaky joints and difficulty in moving fading right away.And it was so obvious in Rachel that Yule was gaping at his wife, not knowing that he had suddenly transformed into looking thirtyish, too.Just seeing each other'

    Rachel and Yule were naturally shocked that Quinn would call the Rejuvenation Pills Charlie's dowry, while Charlie also felt a little embarrassed.But in this situation, he knew he shouldn't say anything, let alone correct Quinn.If he kept quiet, Rachel and Yule would take the Rejuvenation Pills without qualms, and everything would be more or less resolved for now.Naturally, Charlie intended to keep dragging this engagement issue as long as he could, just like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.After all, he had no reasonable solution aside from avoidance.As Yule and Rachel watched Charlie stay silent, they were more or less content—they understood Charlie's mindset and circumstances, and that it'd be coercion if they tried to make him openly agree to marry Quinn.Charlie's offering of the Rejuvenation Pills as a dowry offered a neutral stance, and it was already good enough for them.Seeing that her parents were easing up, Quinn pressed, "The pills are a gesture of Cha

    Of course, there was the option of cosmetic surgery, but such things would never last long, and the side effects were permanent. It was why people always pointed out permanent disfigurement as a reason not to do it.On the other hand, Charlie's Rejuvenation Pill could make her younger by at least twenty years, making it the best cosmetic surgery bar none.Still, Rachel played it cool at the thought that the pills were worth trillions. It was so expensive that just yearning for it could well be considered overstepping.Yule shook his head as he said, "I'm already exceedingly grateful that you came to save my life before, Charlie… How could we take something so precious on top of that? Just save them for yourself, and I'm sure you can use them in the future!"Charlie shook his head, his tone solemn. "The Rejuvenation Pill is only expensive because of scarcity. After all, there was just one available at that auction, so it was only natural that the price inflated so ridiculously."No

    Lunch at the Goldings' was scrumptious, with many rare food ingredients that Yule was usually reluctant to eat himself, and Charlie had never encountered them before.Rachel was smiling at Charlie, having taken a great liking to her future son-in-law, no matter how much she looked at him.She would urge him to eat, encouraging Quinn to put more food on Charlie's plate.While Charlie was worried that Yule and Rachel would mention Quinn's engagement or having children, he was surprised neither of them said a word.While he felt relaxed thanks to that, he soon felt disappointed in himself.It was precisely because they weren't pressuring him that he could feel how understanding and accommodating they were to him.And being a man who always repaid his debts, directly pressuring him would have been a mercy.Hence, while they were idly chatting around the table after lunch, Charlie took out two Rejuvenation Pills and gave one to Yule and Rachel each."This is a little gesture of my s

    Pausing, Ashley sighed. "I was the one who pushed to engage Charlie with Quinn. I truly love that girl, and she's been like a daughter to me ever since she was born. Yule and Rachel used to love Charlie, too, which was why I suggested the engagement when they grew up."I've been told that such old-fashioned engagements shouldn't continue in the new age, or it'd look like we're back in feudal times… but I just think that there are some things that are just so perfect that a parent must fight for it despite their child's opinions."That was when Ashley sighed. "The Qing Eliminating Society reached out to Curtis and me on multiple occasions. I was not even worried that they would come for us… only that they would send Scholars to infiltrate Charlie's inner circle."Mrs. Sun's expression stiffened at the mention of Scholars, as she knew how astounding the Scholars could be. The Qing Eliminating Society had groomed each Scholar since they were children, all for the express purpose of '

    Quinn's memory of Ashley was pretty hazy, as she had been just a child when Ashley had left Eastcliff with Charlie."I don't remember her face, Mom," she couldn't help groaning. "Did she like me back then?"Rachel smiled. "Oh, you have no idea… She was there when you were delivered, and she was also the second person who carried you.""Really?" Quinn exclaimed, clearly surprised. "Then, who was the one who proposed my engagement with Charlie? I don't think I was told.""It was Ashley," Rachel sighed. "At that time, the Wades were the strongest family in Oskia, while Curtis and Ashley had taken good care of both your father and me. To be honest, we always thought that they were far beyond us, and it was our honor that they considered us friends. Considering that, would we even dare ask for such an engagement?"Surprised, Quinn blurted, "Well, why would Ashley want me as Charlie's wife?"Rachel smiled. "Because she liked you, of course. She believed you were her best choice as a da

    In order to snipe Zephan’s troops, three hundred of Hamed’s soldiers immediately closed off the entrance of these firing points from the inside after entering more than thirty of these firing points. This way, each firing point would then become an independent bunker, and the soldiers inside would h

    Charlie snorted before he said indifferently, “So, that’s the case.”As he spoke of this, he then asked Yaron curiously, “By the way, there is a problem that I cannot seem to understand no matter how much I think about it. Can I ask you for some advice?”Yaron grunted, “Go ahead!”Charlie laughed and s

    Dorothy, who was helpless, could only open the luggage at Quinn’s request as she took out the item that Quinn had been thinking of.Quinn stared at the video for a long time, and she heaved a sigh of relief when she made sure that there was nothing wrong with it. After that, she instructed, “Dorothy,

    Doris asked again, “Since you’ve just come to Aurous Hill, have you gotten used to it, then?”“It’s pretty good.” Autumn smiled and said, “Actually, it feels much better to be in Oskia as compared to being in the United States. On one hand, it’s because there is a greater sense of belonging here, and
