LOGINAs the Cheval Blanc Randheli was a C-shaped islet, the outer circle was a shallow reef, suitable for diving. However, because the reef was sharp and the waters shallow, ships couldn't get too close. It was down the middle of the cove, where the waters go over ten feet deep, that small and medium vessels could steer in.Management was naturally quick enough to intercept the other ships, stopping them outside the cove and forcing them to patrol the outside reaches.The loudness of the engines left Charlie annoyed—it was a rare vacation and he just wanted some good sleep, but the whole place was as noisy as a flea market on his second day here.Tanya's sudden arrival left Claire in a bad mood too, and she didn't want to leave the villa if she could. Even when they went out to the restaurant for food, she would look over her shoulder in fear of bumping into Tanya.
Cheval Blanc Randheli, usually quiet and serene, was at once lively following Tanya's arrival.Even though it was noon—when the sun was the hottest, most of the guests weren't staying indoors but wandering around, hoping to bump into Tanya.More unbelievably, there were suddenly a lot of yachts and speedboats from unknown origins, and of varying sizes. They kept circling Cheval Blanc Randheli, some clearly intent to dock, so management had to send out security and concierges to intercept them.Tanya just arrived in the morning, but many tourists had already posted about it online.There were hundreds of islets open to tourists, and dozens of thousands, if not hundreds. They naturally would have the money to afford further travel, and hearing that Tanya was in Cheval Blanc Randheli, they naturally have to come over for a look—if only for a glimpse of the person in the flesh.Even if they couldn't, they could just post photos of the luxury island on social media to brag.
Tanya was definitely no fool, but she was not as sharp as a tack either.Not able to read between the lines—especially against a sly old fox like Bernard, she even nodded respectfully. "You're too kind, Mr. Arnault. Your islands have been famous for so long, I've been looking forward to visiting them for a long time. Naturally, I can't bother you over little old me, but I didn't think you'd be here yourself. Talk about a coincidence!"Bernard laughed. "The Oskians call it fate, and it's what brings us all together. Let's enjoy a couple of drinks at tonight's party too, as the Oskians would always bond over social drinking."You seem pretty interested in Oskian culture, Mr. Arnault?" Tanya asked, surprised.Cindy complained just then, "He went on a trip there recently, and came back a new man. He claimed he learned spiritual training over there and actually seemed to develop a passion for Oskian history, too."He had since been reading up on all kinds of Oskian literature and resea
Claire turned to Charlie, asking, "Don't you think that's inappropriate? Ms. Sweet was your client and you both just happened to take a vacation on the same island. You should at least meet her."Charlie shrugged nonchalantly. "What's inappropriate about it? The partnership came at the spur of the moment, and it's over now so we're no longer partners."Claire nodded quietly, judging that Charlie wasn't all that interested in Tanya and took solace in that.-Meanwhile, Tanya had no idea that the man she was obsessing over was on the same island.After such a long flight, she didn't even have the appetite for breakfast and simply sunbathed on her villa balcony, taking in the sights.She had rented four sea villas: two for his bodyguards, one for her parents, and the last for herself alone.Along the way, her parents had been asking why she didn't bring Trevor along, as they saw that they had been getting along just fine, not to mention that he was the boyfriend she had dated the l
When Charlie, Claire, Elaine, and Jacob arrived at the French restaurant, the concierges and waiters there would inform the guests coming in about the same thing: That there was a party at the seaview bar in the evening, everything was free, and everyone was invited, as it was a party Bernard Arnault and his wife were hosting in Tanya Sweet's honor.Elaine exclaimed, "Whoa, Tanya Sweet really came?!"Hani nodded. "Yes, Madam Parker. Ms. Sweet actually arrived this morning—you have to attend the party if you're a fan, as you stand a chance to get a photo with her and an autograph."Elaine chuckled through her nose and clapped Charlie on the back as she bragged, "Actually, do you know that Tanya recently had, like twenty concerts in Oskia? My son-in-law here was invited on her crew as a Feng Shui consultant. You could tell her that Master Wade is on the island too, and she should visit whenever she can."Hani was left gaping as he blurted in shock, "Madam Parker… are you serious?!"
Hamed sighed in exasperation. "Oh, I'm sure we'll have plenty of chances in the future. And right now, too much is weighing on my mind, and I'd like to get home and sort them out soon. Also, Tanya is the type of superstar you'd never get close with, even if she's on the same island as we are. Don't you see how many bodyguards were there with her?"Siti turned to Farah just then. "Well, he's right. We've seen her and taken some photos, so that's about enough."Farah was silent for a while, but nodded despite her reluctance. "Well, okay…"Hamed sighed in relief and whipped out his phone to make a call, saying, "Book us the next flight home, and ask Cheval Blanc Randheli management to prepare a seaplane to take us back to the airport.""Yes, sir. Right away, sir!" The voice on the other end replied.Hamed then hung up and told his wives, "I'll greet my friend from yesterday, and then we can go."Both women nodded, just as a staff member arrived before the crowd and announced loudly,
The salesgirl said, “The cashback is 20%. Didn’t you buy this necklace for three hundred and sixty thousand dollars? We will refund 20% of the money to you after the transaction, which is seventy-two thousand dollars.”“Oh, my God...” Elaine blurted out, “Wouldn’t that mean that I would be able to bu
The moment Merlin fell to the ground, not one of the people in the elevator spared Merlin another glance.One of them saw Merlin’s dead face, and he blurted out through the intercom system in his helmet, “Boss, this man seems to be the detective from the New York Police Department, Merlin Lammy!”The
At this moment, Charlie saw the relief on Shawn’s face.However, he simply smiled slightly and asked Shawn, “Mr. Long, you look very happy. Is anything special happening today?”Shawn waved his hand and smiled as he said, “Haha! Everything else is all trivial matters aside from my collaboration with y
When Kathleen heard this, she instantly understood that Marianne was not crying because her cell phone had fallen. So, she said to Charlie, “Oh, Mr. Wade, you still don’t understand women. We are not as tough as boys, so you cannot simply come up with solutions. You have to help us solve the problem
