LOGINAfter Mr. Larcelle alighted, the chauffeur took out their Louis Vuitton suitcases and handed them over respectfully. "Enjoy your honeymoon, Mr. and Mrs. Larcelle!"Mr. Larcelle had his hands in pockets, looking around and noticing a lot of people staring as he got out of his Bentley—including Jacob and Elaine, who stood nearby.Hence, he barked haughtily, "Bosley, send my Bentley to service later. Remind them that I want the best engine oil."Bosley nodded respectfully. "Don't worry, sir! I'll get it done."Mr. Larcelle then added, "Oh, and get the Alpha when you pick us up when we come home. The missus would have bought a ton of stuff from Dubai.""Yes, Mr. Larcelle. No problem!" The chauffeur nodded repeatedly.Mr. Larcelle nodded, satisfied.He made sure to be loud enough to draw everyone's attention, and couldn't resist gloating to Mrs. Larcelle, "I remember the days when I always traveled on private jets, but they are doing a maintenance check Stateside, so it's just first-
Early in the morning before the Oskian New Year, Charlie, Claire, Elaine, and Jacob had all packed their bags, heading to the airport for their rare vacation. Jacob's suggestion was to drive the Cullinan to the airport and park it there. They'd just be gone for five days anyway, and they could just drive home with it when they return.In the man's own words, it afforded them the perk of not having to get a rental—with so much luggage, it would be troublesome.However, Charlie knew full well that his father-in-law had been driving everywhere in that Cullinan—even to pick up cigarettes at the convenience store.One way or another, he refused to let slip any opportunity to show everyone else that he owns a Rolls.Charlie didn't think much of it because that was how his father-in-law always was, and he didn't mind playing along.On the other hand, Claire really didn't like the idea of her father bringing out the Cullinan to show off even now, because the Rolls belonged to Kathleen F
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
Merlin had always been unhappy with Xavion, mainly because of his dislike for Xavion.He had also heard that Xavion’s father, Spencer, had taken the opportunity to seize power while Jordan was vulnerable. Merlin admired Jordan a lot, so he despised Spencer and his son, Xavion.Xavion could not deal wi
“Me?”Kathleen never would have thought that Charlie would ask her to express her opinion at this time.She was well aware of her status in the Fox family, and she knew that she was no match for Spencer, Xavion, or Homer.Despite her grandfather’s love for her, when it came to seniority, she could only
Later, they went down for breakfast. There, Stephanie suggested, “Brother Charlie, why don’t we just close the convenience store today? The three of us will take you around Vancouver together!”Charlie laughed. “Sorry, Stephanie. I have some business to take care of later.”Mrs. Lewis was curious. “Ch
Dorothy’s eyes lit up as soon as Quinn mentioned Charlie.She agreed and blurted out, “That’s right! Go and get Charlie to help! If the Fox family dares to hurt you, tell Charlie to punch the sh*t out of him!”Dorothy’s words embarrassed Quinn, and she said awkwardly, “Can you be a little more ladylik
