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 7817

    Charlie, Vera, and Julien headed to the Bay Area together while Rob and Rachel drove there.Charlie and Vera both adopted pseudonyms along the way—Charlie was Andy Cooper, while Vera was Anna Cooper.The country club was owned by the Rothschild family. The selection process for the membership was strict and was reviewed personally by the Rothschild family. It was not even a matter of paying them enough—exclusivity was the motto, and only those deemed worthy by the Rothschild family became members. The strongest advantage of such exclusivity was easily the management members. By leveraging the Rothschilds' influence and resources to bring together the rich and the important, the pooling of wealth and influence would lead to improved relations and stronger business partnerships. There was also the privacy and exclusivity maintained—no one of such caliber and privilege was prone to leaking what was said and done here, or being exposed by a 'friend'. While inappropriate remarks or ac

    Wallis Getty—Rachel's mother—soon answered and asked, "It isn't the usual time for check-ins. Is this important?""Rob's granduncle is here!" Rachel exclaimed excitedly right then. "It's Julien Rothschild, the heir apparent of the Rothschild family!" "Wait, Julien? In California?" Rachel's mother blurted in surprise."Yes!" Rachel exclaimed excitedly, "That's not all—he's right here in the Bay Area! He even invited Rob to dinner, while asking if he had a girlfriend. Rob naturally told him about me, so he asked Rob to bring me along for dinner!" Wallis paused, but soon exclaimed with immense joy, "Really?! That's wonderful! Rob is making things official, while you get to meet Julien Rothschild too?! Lady Griffin was pinning her hopes on our lineage to marry into the Rothschild family, and now that seems more and more possible!"Rachel was thrilled too, as she was aware there would be no stop to Fleur's plan to infiltrate everything and everyone. The high society of the western he

    Rachel, forcing back her excitement, asked Rob tentatively, "Don't you think it's inappropriate for me to join a family dinner?""What's inappropriate about it?" Rob asked, smiling at her. "He suggested it. Just tag along if you have nothing on your plate."Rachel feigned hesitant silence, eventually saying nervously, "A-Alright… But you gotta warn me if there's anything I should worry about beforehand…"Rob found her nervous reaction all adorable, and couldn't resist caressing her cheek while grinning, "There's nothing to worry about. Sure, he's the heir apparent of the Rothschild family, but just pretend he's another uncle."Rachel nodded. "Oh, do you think I have time to change? I have to look a little solemn, at least."Rob smiled and nodded. "Sure. Let's get to the dorms."She nodded and they both headed to the girls' dorms.It was quite a luxurwy accommodation, with each unit being an apartment with two rooms and a common area.Boys were allowed in during daytime, but Rob

    But since Julien had put it that way, Rob couldn't refuse even if he wanted to, and braced himself as he replied, "Yes, sir…"Julien chuckled heartily. "Good, then go get prepared now.""Okay…"Rob was confused even as he hung up, but he didn't wait to call his father.After all, Julien was virtually the second-in-command of the family. Whatever his intentions were, Rob had to tell his family first.His father was just as surprised when Rob told him, as his own father Damian had a terrible falling out with Julien before Julien was named heir apparent.Even though Damian now wanted to make peace, Julien wasn't having it. It was therefore confusing that Julien would, for some reason, invite Damian's grandson to dinner, but also an unexpectedly pleasant surprise. This was indeed a bit puzzling, but it was also an unexpected joy for the family. Considering how bad the feud with Damian was, the fact that Julien was now being chummy with Rob at least meant progress.That was why Ro

    Before today, Rob wouldn't even dare dream that Julien would invite him to dinner.With how tense things were between Julien and Rob's grandfather, and Harrison eventually naming Julien as his heir, Rob's grandfather kept trying to make peace.But forget dinner—Julien wouldn't even answer his own brother's calls!That was why Rob was so mystified that a kid like him would be invited to dinner by someone this high up in the family. It was just bizarre no matter how one tried to frame it!And amongst his generation, Rob was the most self-aware even though he was not the most successful. There was just nothing about him that stood out, except the halo effect from the Rothschild name. That was why he knew too well that he just wasn't important enough for Julian to take an interest in him.But even if he couldn't guess the reason, Julien extended an invitation, and he definitely couldn't refuse.After all, Julien was the heir apparent—someone like Rob couldn't afford to miss the opp

    However, Rob's girlfriend—Rachel Getty—was an outlier.Forget jumping him! The furthest they had gone this far was hugging and holding hands, as she refused to even kiss!Rob initially thought she was just playing hard to get, until he had a private investigator dig into her.The PI certainly went to great lengths too, investigating all of Rachel's records since kindergarten, along with her social circle history since grade school. To everyone's shock, she was simply that chaste and disciplined even as a child. Not only did she excel in all her academic studies, she was also athletic, earning numerous accolades on every stage of her education. On top of that, she never had any romantic connections in the past twenty years, with all her acquaintances insisting she never once held hands with any boy.And when the PI submitted his findings, Rob was utterly entrapped by Rachel's iron discipline and purity.In his mind, there was no way she would have kept up a facade this long even

    Charlie shook his head and sneered as he said, “I am your master!”Zayne was completely flustered, and he cried out as he said, “No, don’t! Please don’t seal my consciousness. I do not want to become a living dead! Please let me go. I will do whatever you want as long as you are willing to let me go!

    As soon as Zacheus heard these words, he immediately felt extremely embarrassed over the other end of the line, and he had goosebumps all over his body.Immediately after that, Zacheus hurriedly denied, “Young Master Wade, you have misunderstood us.
