Semua Bab The Charismatic Charlie Wade: Bab 6961 - Bab 6970

Not giving Claire the chance to refuse further, Charlie dragged her along toward the crowd and Kelly.Kelly was at the center of the crowd, with each person holding their champagne flutes and listening to her speak eloquently. Even Miki could only watch her admiringly from the very edge of the crowd.That was when she caught sight of Charlie and Claire approaching out of the corner of her eye, followed by Loreen and Miki's cousin, Sachiko. Her brow creased right then, and she stared at Charlie intently to watch how things would play out.When Charlie reached the edge of the crowd and was about to call out to Kelly, Miki was smirking as she strode up and warned very loudly, "You're not supposed to be here, Mr. Wade."She really didn't have to be that loud to persuade Charlie to leave, but she did so deliberately to draw everyone's attention and capitalize on the situation. Since her grandfather, the head of the family, was also present, she could use the opportunity to take Sachiko

While the main event, which was Tanya, had yet to arrive, all present were elite businessmen. They weren't there to fawn, but to make money.So, even as they hovered around Kelly to chat her up, what they truly wanted was a partnership with Kathleen.But unfortunately for them, Kathleen had never been interested in showbiz and never accepted Mitsui Group's many invitations.Still, the elite were surprised that two of Kathleen's other friends were present despite Kathleen herself being absent.And judging from how respectful Kelly was to the pair, they were definitely close friends of Kathleen's, or at least closer than Kelly was to Kathleen.On the other hand, Miki's mind was broken as she gaped at Charlie, as she simply couldn't understand how he could be Kathleen's friend.They were talking about Kathleen Fox, the head of a trillion-dollar dynasty. Mitsui Group's wealth was child's play in comparison.Miki's face paled as she remembered how she had dissed Charlie and Claire, a

Everyone was immediately alert upon hearing that the Mitsuis and Tanya were coming.While they were shocked that Kathleen's close friends were present, they were still, at best, an intermediary, and they would rather Kathleen herself were here. In contrast, the people who were arriving basically owned Japan.Mitsui Yoshitaka, the head of Mitsui Group, always kept a low profile just like his predecessors.He rarely attended parties such as these and was only here because he had a soft spot for his daughter, who was an avid Tanya fan.As her father, he naturally had to do his best to support her.With several black-clad bodyguards quickly clearing a path, the elderly couple entered the hall, with their daughter following them.With them were a Caucasian couple—Tanya Sweet and her burly split-mustache boyfriend, Trevor Kennedy.Everyone was clapping and cheering as soon as they entered, with some even hollering their names as they entered.It went without saying that it was a norm

"The other color?"Charlie's words left Loreen musing to herself, but she soon exclaimed in realization, "Oh, that reminds me—Tanya's been vocal about helping the blue party and calling for her fans to vote. I'm actually shocked that they lost even though she went that far… I'd be depressed too if I were here."Pausing, she sighed, "And here I was thinking that she's upset because Mitsui Group didn't pay her enough. Just thinking that such a minor disagreement might get the concert canceled altogether hurts… but now that I think about it, I'm sure Tanya isn't short on money."Claire couldn't help sighing. "Now you're just being nasty.""Hehe!" Loreeen giggled. "That said, I love Tanya's songs, her talent, and her showmanship, but public figures with private agendas still leave a bad taste in my mouth. I think she can support whoever she wants, but only if she keeps it private."Why does she have to keep droning on and on about the same thing everyday? Many of her fans are minors,

Yoshitaka certainly remembered how Kathleen had firmly rejected his numerous invites to this party, ultimately sending Kelly as her representative.But while he had finally decided to give up, he was shocked to learn that Kathleen was coming after the party started.It was as surprising as it was delightful, and he promptly announced it without stopping to help Tanya hype up the crowd.Naturally, the crowd was also clearly more enthusiastic about Kathleen coming, which left Tanya looking all the more unpopular.Just remembering how her own rousing speech had been completely disregarded, Tanya felt as disappointed as she was furious.Watching as the guests happily chatted amongst each other, she was left wondering why she was so coldly received and why they weren't interested in one of the most controversial issues of the present.Even Yoshitaka turned away just then, asking his assistant, "Do you know why Ms. Fox suddenly changed her mind?"The assistant quickly replied, "Her as
