LOGINTanya 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,
Despite Tanya's reluctance, she agreed to join the party for the sake of future partnership, if not out of respect towards Bernard.Alexander sighed in relief and quickly said politely, "Thank you, Ms. Sweet. I'm sure it has been a journey and you'd need some rest, so I'll let your concierge lead you and your family to your villa. Mr. Arnault also instructed that you just need to ask your concierge for anything you need, and our island's staff will do their best to meet it."Tanya nodded. "Do send Mr. Arnault my thanks."Alexander smiled, but at the same time wondered if Tanya misunderstood.While he said they would meet her needs, he never mentioned waiving the bill for her stay.And with how frugal Bernard had been late, he was not about to pay Tanya's bill for her…For an instant, he thought about warning Tanya indirectly, but soon decided against it.If Tanya got upset, Bernard would blame him for talking too much.The policy required all payments to be combined into a sing
Charlie waved her off, groaning, "Urgh… I'd rather not see familiar faces while I'm on holiday."Claire shrugged. "It's no big deal—we're staying here for four nights anyway. It's just three nights left, and it will be over before we know it."-Meanwhile, it was indeed Tanya, her family, and her bodyguards in the seaplane that was beginning its final approach.She had flown from LA on a private jet for half a day, journeying over nine thousand miles and finally landed on Male slightly before dawn.She managed to get some proper rest on her jet, but it still left her a little upset.Even as she changed to the seaplane, she was complaining to her mother, "I thought we'd arrive in seven hours—eight, tops. But instead it took half a day and it's killing me… Should have asked before letting my manager choose the Maldives."Her mother smiled. "The Maldives isn't famous back home since it's way too far, but the climate is the same as the Caribbean and the scenery is good too. Let's ju
When Charlie saw Nanako walking in, he smiled and said, “I came to see Mr. Ito, and I was also asking Mr. Ito to do me a favor.”Nanako hurriedly asked, “Then, has your matter already been resolved, Charlie-kun? Do you need my help?”Charlie smiled and said, “It has already been settled. I was just ca
Cadfan sighed, and he said guiltily, “I’ve been unable to eat and sleep over the past two days because I’m not only filled with guilt toward both you and your mother, but I’ve also been thinking about how I can compensate the two of you. It just so happens that Arrington and I were talking about Mal
When Quinn heard this, she suddenly tensed up and became very nervous as she blurted out, “Dad, I... I did not cause any trouble for Brother Charlie, right?!”At this time, Rachel spoke up, “I think that it should not be a bad thing even if the Acker family finds out that Charlie is still alive. Char
Falco had a cold smile on his face at this time.He knew that this ignorant young man in front of him was about to pay the price with his own life.This was because no one could possibly stop his native parasitic worm!Even though this worm was white and fat, its body was actually even tougher than ste
