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?

    Pausing, Charlie then added, "And if the IPO succeeds, that's hundreds of millions, if not billions. Who would care about fifty million at that point? It's both of us who win if you do this, so don't give me crap and just get to work!"Albert mused to himself for a while, eventually nodding. "If you think so highly of me, it's only right that I do my very best!""Now, that's better!" Charlie laughed, satisfied. "Also, Tanya still has more concerts across Oskia. As an honorary citizen of Aurous Hill and my gratitude toward this place, I will insist she set Aurous Hill as her first stop whenever she comes to Oskia in the future."I'll also be inviting her over right away to Heaven Springs as an ambassador, and she'll be there in any city where you set up a branch. At that point, you don't have to worry about securing a steady stream of customers—just do your part and do it well.""Alright!" Albert promptly replied. "You've really taught me an important lesson there. I won't let you d

    Albert was surprised that Charlie was being so insistent.While he knew Charlie meant well, it still hurt his pride as a self-made man.Hence, he told Charlie, "Mr. Wade, you've already helped me way too much ever since we met, including saving my life. It's only thanks to you that Heaven Springs suddenly gained such prominence, and I think with that foundation, we'd rise further beyond if we just stick to our guns. I'm already endlessly grateful for all of that, so I really can't take your money on top of that..."Charlie rolled his eyes. "Don't get so cagey with me, Albert. If I've given something to you, then it's something I'm convinced you deserve. If you don't deserve it, I wouldn't give it to you even if you asked."Albert pursed his lip awkwardly. "I get what you're saying, Sir—it's like a good boss always giving employees increments. But it's way too much with what little I do, and my conscience can't allow it…"Then, remembering what Isaac had said, he clenched his knuck

    Still, Claire didn't dwell on it as she knew nothing about Feng Shui.Since her husband had gained widespread approval, he must have something going for him, so a laywoman like her shouldn't speculate.-Early next morning, Charlie headed to Heaven Springs after Claire had gone to work.Heaven Springs wasn't open to the public in the mornings, but plenty of netizens were outside the entrance taking photos.Charlie wasn't in a hurry to go inside anyway and was just swiping through his phone when he noticed that Heaven Springs was still trending on news channels and social networks across the nation.This was mainly thanks to Tanya posting a pile of social media posts showering endless praise on the food.Now, countless fans would die to be there to have a taste or even just post pictures of the place if they couldn't afford it. Seeing people literally queuing up just to check in or take photos, Charlie went to the back door to find Albert already waiting there, and the latter u

    Isaac's words left Albert freezing up, blurting, "Wait, Mr. Cameron… Are you saying that Master Wade already handled everything for me?""Please use your brain for once," Isaac laughed. "I was the Wades' spokesman in the state and represented their family, and you're basically my successor after I left Aurous Hill. With the heir to the Wade family assigning you such an important post, he'd definitely want you to get a fresh start. It's the Wades that would suffer embarrassment if something happens otherwise, don't you agree?"Delighted, Albert quickly said, "Oh, honestly… You have no idea, Mr. Cameron! My heart's been racing the whole night. I was afraid that when Heaven Springs became widely known, those who know my past would rush over to expose me, and it would embarrass Mr. Wade… but I'm relieved now."Then, he sighed emotionally, "I really didn't expect Master Wade to be so kind to a two-bit thug like me… I would lay my life down for the man!"Isaac laughed out loud. "Flatter

    Pausing, Tanya then added, "But don't worry, promotion of this place comes free of charge."Charlie smiled and nodded, "Then, allow me to thank you on behalf of Mr. Rhodes."Still, he was impressed that despite being an international pop sensation, Tanya was still quite the people's person.Tanya then pointed out, "There are still a lot of journalists outside, so I could talk about Heaven Springs when I step out to promote it a little."Charlie nodded and checked his watch, "You've had a long flight and came straight from the airport, so you'll need to catch your breath. Don't let me keep you and get some rest back at the hotel."Tanya was still reluctant to go just then, "It's alright, Mr. Wade. We're not that tired, and there's no work lined up for the day."Charlie smiled begrudgingly—even if they were fine, he still had things to do, and his wife still needed her beauty sleep.That was when Trevor said, "Come on, Babe—you said you'd talk to the press later, and I bet there's

    Meanwhile, Albert was swiping his phone endlessly while Charlie, Claire, Tanya, and Trevor were dining.After all, he had noticed, to his delight, that Heaven Springs was trending amidst the media buzz of Tanya's arrival in Aurous Hill, and he repeatedly refreshed posts mentioning Heaven Springs.Then, remembering what Charlie had said earlier, he definitely had to agree that such prominence meant opening up a branch would be all too easy.Even now, the press was camping outside the entrance, clearly hoping for another quick interview from Tanya after she left.In fact, they wouldn't mind just taking photos or videos even without an interview.Some even asked to interview the owner, but Albert became nervous when word reached him.After all, he used to be convinced he had reached the pinnacle of his existence when he became a mob boss, but that was until he met Charlie.It was then that he understood he had never once risen beyond his humble beginnings, and being a mob boss in t
