LOGINWith that in mind, Charlie's position in Tanya's concert crew as her Feng Shui consultant was probably bullshit.Claire already suspected that the masked dancer whom Tanya kissed so passionately on stage was Charlie himself. However, she was convinced that a megastar like Tanya wouldn't be interested in some Feng Shui consultant like her husband, because she was a titan—if not positively divine, in comparison.But in hindsight, the one who was positively divine was Charlie and never Tanya!Now, she and Charlie just arrived at Cheval Blanc Randheli, but Tanya's coming tomorrow as well.It goes without saying that she must be coming for Charlie too.It was her only trip with Charlie, and could well be the last.Never could she have expected that another competitor was about to show up, and one who was way more wealthy and influential at that.How was she supposed to feel good about this?Still, seeing the surprise on Charlie's face, she asked, "Ms. Sweet is coming too? What a coi
As Tanya would be arriving tomorrow, all staff needed to make preparations tonight. At this point, the guests wouldn't be able to maintain secrecy at all and the staff hence admitted, "That's the notice we've received at the moment, but we can't be sure if it's really happening, or if there might be other issues."Even so, the guests playing with the stingrays cheered.Some amongst them were willing to pay scalpers ten times the normal ticket prices just to see their idol from afar, but even that might prove difficult. So none of them could have expected that she would come to the same island as them for their holiday, and how could they not get excited?Moreover, as the Cheval Blanc Randheli was basically one big hotel, all facilities were open to the public unless specified otherwise.That meant they could be dining in the same restaurant as Tanya, swimming in the same pool, or even riding the same yacht!However, while every other guest appeared thrilled, two of them appeared
Getting up, Charlie went over to give Hamed a heads-up before leaving the restaurant with Claire.Hani then approached them with a smile. "Mr. and Mrs. Wade, how does playing with stingrays sound? They often flock around the northern beach.""Stingrays?" Claire blurted in surprise. "Are they domesticated?""No, but they are a local species," Hani smiled, shaking his head. "And there are plenty of them in the waters around the island. They'd be playing or feeding during this hour, and return to the depths when it gets dark. So now's the best time to see them."Claire nodded and asked, "Can you take us there?""Of course, no problem!" Hani smiled. "We can ride a golf cart over. Allow me to drive."Claire finally smiled, and she chirped happily, "Thank you so much!"With that, she and Charlie got into the golf cart Hani used to ferry guests, the electric vehicle speeding steadily over the cobblestone path on the island as they headed straight for the northern beach.The island was
Elaine was naturally upset with Hani's response, and argued right then, "What's the meaning of this? Is the owner denying us hospitality? Who's more important, your owner or your customers?"Hani was left responding awkwardly, "Please, ma'am. While we always prioritize our clients, a concierge like me won't get to sway the owner's arrangements.""Where is he now?!" Elaine argued. "Tell him to see me—I need to ask if this is how he usually treats his customers!"Hani flinched from the retort, but asked gingerly, "Ma'am… would you happen to know who our owner is?"Elaine snorted in disdain. "Who cares? I paid for this vacation, or what? Is your boss a bigger deal than Bill Gates?"Hani cleared his throat as he quietly explained, "Well, he ranked third in last year's world's richest list… and Bill was the eighth.""What the hell?!" Elaine blurted in shock. "Some hotel owner is actually the third richest person in the world?!"Hani quickly went into lecturer mode and explained, "If
Jacob looked overwhelmed as he sprang to his feet, exclaiming in surprise, "Oh, Mr. Ahmed! Your Oskian is so fluent!"Hamed smiled. "I've been in Oskia for a long while on business. I'm basically a friend of the nation!"Hamed naturally avoided saying that he studied in Oskia, or he'd have to lie more if they pressed the issue.Still, Jacob nodded. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Ahmed. I'm Jacob Wilson—Charlie's father-in-law!"Elaine hurried over right then. "I'm Elaine. Charlie's mother-in-law."Hamed then turned toward Claire and smiled. "And I'm guessing this angel is Mrs. Wade!"Claire had a hunch who Hamed was, and knew that everything he said was going to be a lie.After all, anyone who 'knew' Charlie would know his true heritage.Still, she didn't let it show and flashed a polite smile. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Ahmed. I'm Claire."Hamed nodded politely. "I've always been grateful to Master Wade for helping me with the Feng Shui in my business, and I guess it's fate that brought
Charlie's in-depth projections and analysis left Hamed nervous right then, and he was scowling as he asked, "Come on, man—I can't attack or defend? Doesn't that mean I'm going to lose anyway?"Charlie sighed. "Well, things definitely look bleak—I just didn't think you guys would win that quickly, or for the situation to change this quickly."Hamed groaned, "Well, what should I do?"Charlie thought about it for a while, and said solemnly, "In your place, I'll start from the inside. Seek out any discord or signs of infighting in the enemy camp. Turn them against each other or use money to tempt potential allies. Then, find the right timing for a pincer, and you'd be looking at a complete takeover.""Oh, but…" Hamed smiled awkwardly. "You're a master tactician, but I'm not! To be honest, it's taxing for me just leading 3,000 men. If I had to lead more, I'd be overwhelmed!"Then, he turned towards Charlie excitedly, "Unless you're willing to take over command for me!""Buzz off," Cha
It was already late by the time Charlie was done solving everything, and there were also hundreds of people kneeling densely on Mount Wintry which was brightly lit.Charlie turned his back to look at his parents’ tomb that was not too far away, and he stared at it for a long time before he sighed lig
When Charlie saw that she was afraid, he then said to Albert, “Don’t kill her first. Let her talk.”The girl hurriedly said, “Princess Olivia asked us to take Princess Helena… to St. Petersburg in Russia…”Charlie frowned and asked, “Why are you taking her to St. Petersburg?”The girl replied truthfull
When Charlie said that he was being excessively soft-hearted, this group of members from the Wade family’s collateral families felt that Charlie was simply being extremely shameless.However, after Porter agreed and was singing the same tune as Charlie, all of them were basically so frightened that t
At the moment when Jeremiah uttered the word ‘Charlie’, Clayton sat back in his chair once again.The anger in his heart had already made him feel somewhat numb at this time.‘From the moment Dad asked the whole family to go out and greet Charlie today, everything related to Charlie has already exceed
