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 7179

    Mrs. Sun quickly asked, "Are you saying we should tell Claire… everything?""Yes," Ashley said solemnly. "It's time to make her aware of Charlie's current situation, that he can't keep looking behind his back all the time. If she leaves him—even briefly, it would definitely be in everyone's interest."Mrs. Sun nodded and asked, "Well, how should we tell Claire? And we'd need to be persuasive… Should I go?""No," Ashley refused solemnly right then. "To society, you're merely a missing person who vanished years ago. Even if you showed up suddenly in front of Claire and told her such things, she might not necessarily believe you."Mrs. Sun tilted her head in thought. "Well, who would be the right person for the job?""If there is anyone up to task, it'd be Stephen Thompson," Ashley replied. "If it's the Wades or the Ackers… Well, they can be persuasive, but Charlie will get upset if he finds out. We shouldn't let our own family play the villains here, so we just have to ask Stephen t

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7178

    The night skies of Eastcliff were bright but exceedingly cold.Charlie lay in bed, tossing and turning, losing his sleep.The past, present, and future kept overlapping in his mind, leaving his thoughts a mess.-Meanwhile, in the temple on top of Mount Pantro, thousands of miles away, a woman as beautiful as a painting was seated on the garden armchair, gazing up at the boundless stars.Even though she was long past fifty, there were barely any wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.Naturally, it was Ashley Acker, Charlie's mother.The elderly but robust Mrs. Sun hurried into the garden just then, bowing her head respectfully as she said, "Ma'am. Stephen Thompson's man reported from the Wades' residence that your father-in-law… had a discussion with your son earlier.""Oh, and what about?" Ashley asked in curiosity."About Ms. Golding, Ma'am," Mrs. Sun replied.Ashley smiled tenderly. "Oh, Quinn… And regarding what, specifically?"As Mrs. Sun told Ashley everything, Ashley wa

    Nodding, Charlie said, "I'll tell her when I see her and ask her if she'd like to visit.""Good!" Jeremiah laughed cheerfully. "Well, it's dinner in this house tomorrow… Oh, and since Quinn is coming, why not invite her parents too?"Charlie was at once uneasy. "What are you up to, Gramps?"Jeremiah chuckled. "Nothing. It's been a while since we've all had dinner together, and there's no problem with inviting friends over for dinner, right?"Charlie sighed in exasperation. "It's your call, but I think you should call Mr. Golding personally if you want to invite him over. I'd rather not have to play messenger.""Sure thing!" Jeremiah nodded without hesitation. "Once you pick Quinn up from the airport, go visit Yule and his wife, and I'll call him in the afternoon to invite him over. I'm sure he won't refuse.""Alright," Charlie nodded and stayed silent.He was completely on the back foot, and anything he said would be used against him.So, he simply stopped talking.Jeremiah th

    Jeremiah's earnest talk only left Charlie in despair.He had never considered the issue before in-depth—it was just not necessary to make that choice at this time, and there was no ideal solution.But Jeremiah was right about one thing.If Charlie did succeed in taking down Fleur Griffin and the Qing Eliminating Society, he could make his triumphant return to the fold of the Wade family.Then, he would make it known to the world that the son of Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker lives.But when that day came, what would he tell Claire?She would find out—it was just a matter of time, and the thought left Charlie weary.Lies beget more lies, and he had been lying from the start. Not only did he lie to Claire about who he was, but he had also lied about many other things, including about his parents.Other matters aside, he was the one who had had Elaine thrown in prison for stealing his debit card and wiring all his savings to her own account. While Claire had been worrying, he had be

    Pausing, Jeremiah continued, "When that happens, how much flak do you think they would give Ms. Wilson? And the legions of fans who admire Quinn so zealously, who are eager to see you tie the knot with her. Have you considered the idea that they would mob her? And run their mouths in her presence?"Charlie really couldn't argue against Jeremiah, because his grandfather was right.Claire simply wasn't a celebrity like Quinn and didn't have legions of fans like Quinn.Over the years in show business, Quinn had had no scandals or rumors affecting her. Everyone knew that she was the only daughter of a millionaire family, and that she wasn't working in showbiz for fame or the money, but to seek her lost fiancé.It was such a refreshing change that countless people quickly became her fans, and one might even say that there was no one else like her in showbiz. Naturally, there were other celebrities who had worked in show business for decades without scandals, too, but they would often

    Charlie was stunned speechless. "Yule's entire family?!"After a while, he asked, "But why make such a decision? It's so unfair to Quinn, and I am not worthy enough for them to go that far…"Jeremiah sighed wryly. "I don't get it myself. I've even tried reasoning with Yule, but he insists that he has made up his mind and even asked me to talk to you about it. What more can I say?"Charlie remained flustered. "I mean, this just isn't the solution! Have they not considered how terrible the backlash would be for Quinn if word spreads? Even when she retires from showbiz, her influence will remain for sure—both the public and the media will be watching!"Jeremiah shook his head. "Don't worry about that. Yule has already thought of a solution. Years ago, he bought a private island in the Maldives, which he planned to develop as a resort. But now, he's planning to cancel those plans and simply use it as a private residence."Once Quinn gets pregnant, Yule will bring his wife and Quinn ov

    Hamed laughed at this time and spoke up, “What I want is for us to keep the peace and stay out of each other’s business. We will not interfere with each other, nor should we attach ourselves to each other. At the same time, I want to remain in the opposition forces. Otherwise, if I were to change ou

    Kathleen heard Jacob’s empty praises, and firmly believed that the man was faking it.Even so, she went along with him. “Mr. Wilson, you’re absolutely right. This is indeed a marvelous work. Although incomparable with the likes of the top calligraphers such as Xephr Walker, it’s still one of the best

    Jasmine then added with a meaningful smile, “Number 35, you’re the one who made the bid at two hundred and ten billion US dollars. That means that the price is within your affordability. Besides, it’s already a dream come true for you to purchase the pill even at this price. If you are dissatisfied
