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 7295

    Charlie's offer only made Claire feel even worse.Ever since she met Stephen Thompson, she had come to realize how many lies Charlie had to tell just to keep up appearances.Emgrand wasn't owned by the Wades, but the Wades bought it just for Charlie.And all this time, she thought Doris Young was a VIP to her career, but little did she know that she was just a spokeswoman for Charlie. That all the conveniences Emgrand afforded her company were granted by Charlie from behind the scenes.If they couldn't meet the deadlines by the second day of the second month in the Oskian calendar, Claire wasn't sure if she should apologize to Doris, or Charlie—the real owner.Just the thought left Claire despondent.She used to think that she was good enough to earn the approval of those influential entrepreneurs, that every single one of them was eager to sign contracts and partner with her.In hindsight, she realized that she could be incompetent, but they would still be supportive as long

    Charlie finally arrived at Aruous Hill in the morning, though only Elaine was at home when he got back.Clarie herself was busy at work for days now, intent on fulfilling her contracts before she left.As for Jacob, he was hanging out at the Calligraphy and Painting Association every day, enjoying life.In comparison, Elaine had a lot of time on her hands, and was now completely focused on their Maldives trip, buying everything from snorkeling gear, swimsuits and goggles.Seeing Charlie, she grinned in delight, "Oh, you're finally home, sonny! We're heading off to the Maldives in two days, so don't take any jobs in the meantime!"Charlie smiled. "Don't worry—I won't be taking jobs until the new year.""Great!" Elaine was at once relieved. "I've told Claire to get her work done soon, and not to bring her laptop on our trip."Charlie smiled and nodded—it was clear Elaine was really enthusiastic about the trip. Still, it was a good thing for the family since it was a rare opportuni

    Tanya sighed regrettably. "Acutally, I really didn't want to go back, but my family is urging me to go home soon. I was thinking I should arrange for us to meet at a tourist spot instead."Charlie appeared puzzled. "Why won't you want to go back? Isn't it a good thing, spending time with family? After being away for so long?"Tanya pursed her lips in awkwardness.She certainly would like to see her family too, but there was a simple reason she didn't want to go back—she did not want to face Trevor Kennedy, her boyfriend.When feelings change, a person would naturally try to avoid their current partners as much as they could, ideally not meeting or talking for a while.The silent treatment, as one would say.The best outcome would be for the partner to ask for a breakup on their own following the silent treatment, and with that, the relationship could end without further face-to-face interaction.That was why Tanya was so keen to stay away, or only make a quick stop back home if

    In the days before the Oskian New Year, Charlie was still following Tanya as he toured between different cities, until she finished her Oskian tour.However, he already regretted taking the job after Eastcliff, but it was already too late—he couldn't just tell his wife that he was giving up halfway as Tanya's Feng Shui consultant.Nonetheless, after the twenty concerts, Curtis Autos had also gained widespread brand awareness in Oskia, as well as the rest of the world.Although Curtis Autos had yet to announce any car model at the moment, Charlie knew full well that when it came to starting a new business, one principle must always be followed: always get famous early.In recent history, before certain public figures launch their car brands, they first build hype by vowing to dedicate all honor of their lifetime into making their brand successful. It would immediately draw the public's attention, and to no one's surprise, their cars would sell like hot cakes.As Curtis Autos was na

    Claire had her pride too.She didn't want to be labeled the girl who married rich or the icon of a modern-day Cinderella story—instead of being a vassal to an important family, she'd rather have a boring, easy life.Moreover, Quinn suited Charlie more than herself, and she definitely sacrificed a lot to find him.Whether it was sentiment or rationality, Quinn deserved her blessing and respect.She certainly could give the former by ending her marriage with Charlie, which counted as a virtue.Hence, she replied to Charlie, "Yes, let's attend the concert in Eastcliff together—just the two of us. When it's over, I might be going on a business trip, so you can head back to Aruous Hill while I fly from Eastcliff to Rochester.""Why Rochester?" Charlie asked in curiosity.Claire thought for a moment, and came up with an excuse. "A client just introduced me to her bestie, whose villa in Rochester needs a makeover. She was hoping for a design from me, but I need to survey the site first

    Though Claire was sullen as she headed upstairs, neither her parents noticed anything unusual.And she was used to it—they didn't have the innate instinct to care. In fact, no one in the house cared about her mood save for Charlie.All Jacob and Elaine could think about at that moment was how to get their tickets' worth of fun in their Maldives trip, not noticing at all that Claire's eyes were swollen red from crying.Returning to her room, she washed her face with cold water, doing her best to calm down as she thought about what she could do to minimize the damage when she left Charlie.Still, that meant she should first check with him his schedule for the second day of the second month in the Oskian calendar—his birthday.Picking up his phone, she sent Charlie a voice message, "How are you going to spend your birthday?"-Charlie was just getting bored, sitting backstage at Tanya's concert.Receiving Claire's message, she didn't hesitate to reply right away, "You're a big fan

    Upon hearing that Charlie would host him, Julien was flattered and expressed his gratitude, saying, "I truly appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me!"

    "What?!" Jacob exclaimed excitedly, suddenly on his feet. "That prick is really going to start a business in Aurous Hill? What, did he get sick of living the good life elsewhere?"In Jacob's mind, there were only two reasons why Raymond had returned to Aurous Hill.The first was that he had gotten
