Claire frowned in confusion. Was this where Charlie had booked their anniversary dinner tonight?She couldn’t help but ask suspiciously, “You’re not bluffing, are you?”Charlie chuckled gleefully. “Of course, not!”Then, he continued, “I made a reservation a few days ago. Let’s go in and check if you don’t believe me.”Claire shook her head. Charlie had never once deceived her after being married for three years, especially not on such an important day as today. So she said, “Nah, I believe you.”She tilted her head curiously and asked, “Did you reserve the seat in the Sky Garden? There’s some VIP guy who booked the whole place for today, right?”Charlie quickly explained, “The seat I reserved is next to the Sky Garden, it happens to have a view of the inside of the garden. We can peep to see who on earth booked the place later! What do you think?”Claire giggled. “I’m not such a busybody like you are!”Then, they walked into Shangri-La Hotel.As when they were waiting for the
Julie didn’t notice how Claire’s expression suddenly changed. She pulled the man next to her with a smug smile on her face and said, “Let me introduce you to my husband, Kyle!”Then, she complimented, “He is the young master of the Sullivan family and also the heir apparent to his family’s fortunes worth hundreds of millions!”Claire nodded politely.Charlie, on the other hand, glared at the young couple in annoyance.He brought his wife here for their wedding anniversary, who knew such an annoying blockhead would appear in their way!Julie continued in her smug tone, “Oh, by the way, my husband is a platinum member, so he has a lot of benefits and privileges here. I guess the best Charlie could get is the normal suite, am I right? Why don’t I let Kyle upgrade you guys to the luxury suite?”Claire was about to reject her offer when Charlie chuckled and said, “Well, I booked quite a nice place, so thanks but no thanks.”He had booked the entire Sky Garden to make up a grand weddi
“During your freshman year, according to records, you checked into different hotel rooms no less than a hundred times with eight different men, including Brett Cooley, Jack Pierce, and Austin Cannon.”Julie’s face turned pale, her eyes wide and her mouth agape in extreme shock. She blurted angrily, “What the h*ll are you talking about! I’ll sue you for slander!”On the other hand, deep frowning wrinkles started forming on Kyle’s forehead. He was obviously shocked and traumatized. Charlie started again, “Wow, this one is amazing. There were a few times that you checked in a hotel room with two men, Ben Decker and Jay Decker, at the same time. They were brothers, weren’t they? Were you in a threesome?”Julie shrieked in horror, “Shut up! Shut up! It’s all bullsh*t!”Charlie ignored her and continued, “Also, during your sophomore year, you had a sugar daddy. He was the vice president of Herolutions Enterprise and paid you thirty thousand per month for three years. During this period
Kyle’s face was as green and ugly as it could get, suppressing his outburst.He finally felt how it was like to be cheated on by his wife repeatedly!Eventually, he couldn’t hold it anymore and started slapping Julie hard while cursing, “You b*tch! You’ve been lying to me all along! You cheated! I’m going to kill you, sl*t! I’m going to kill you!”Julie screamed in agony and wailed loudly, her hair flying all over the place.Kyle shouted while slapping her, “I want a divorce right now! You won’t get a penny from me! Otherwise, I’ll get someone to make your parents and your brother perish from this world!”Julie was completely devastated!She tried, by all means, to marry into the Sullivan family and she finally succeeded. She was dreaming of becoming a rich wife for the rest of her life, but today, her dream was totally shattered!It was all because of Charlie Wade!She hated Charlie so much, but Charlie simply grinned contemptuously and said to Claire, “Dear, let them fight ea
Just as turbulent waves were tossing in her confused mind, the elevator reached the top floor of Shangri-La Hotel.A waiter standing next to the door bowed respectfully and said with a smile, “Ms. Wilson, on behalf of our Shangri-La Hotel, I would like to extend my heartfelt blessings to you and Mr. Wade for your wedding anniversary tonight.”Charlie waved his hand and said, “Okay, you can go off now!”All the staff nodded and left.In an instant, only Claire and Charlie were left in the empty Sky Garden.Claire felt like she was in the middle of a sweet dream.In front of her was a vast space with luxurious decoration.The gorgeous crystal chandelier was hanging on the ceiling, casting bright and clear sparkles that emphasized the elegant and serene ambiance of the lavish Sky Garden.The soft sound of piano masterpieces echoed across the Sky Garden that slowly warmed the heart of its listeners, easing away the tension and anger within them.Fresh and rare flowers delivered di
The whole Aurous Hill was watching the extremely lavish wedding through the hazy frosted crystal glass.While they were extremely envious of the couple and their setting, they couldn’t help but wonder who the couple who held their wedding in the Sky Garden was.Moreover, they were so mysterious that there were only two of them at their wedding. Not a single relative nor friend was present, not even a witness!On the crystal stage, Charlie took Claire’s hand and retrieved the jade necklace he had prepared for a long time.“Claire, this is my wedding anniversary gift for you. I hope you like it!”Claire stared at the crystal-clear jade necklace and exclaimed, “This…isn’t this the prized possession of Emerald Court? Charlie, how and where did you get this?”Claire was astonished when she said it.Was Charlie the mysterious billionaire in the video?How else could he have had this jade necklace?But…But it didn’t make any sense!She was very clear about Charlie, how could he be
Overnight, the grand wedding at the Sky Garden became the hottest topic in the city.However, the bride and groom of the wedding remained unknown.Charlie drove the modified BMW 520 and went home with Claire.Claire was still immersed in great happiness, almost as if she was laying in the center of cloud nine. She couldn’t help but ask, “How did you book the Sky Garden? They’ve never allowed that ever.”Charlie smiled coyly and said, “Frankly, the senior executive of Shangri-La is a good friend of mine back at the orphanage. We used to share our hard and difficult times together and I always shared half of my steamed bun with him, so when I asked him for a favor, he said ok.”Claire nodded lightly. “Oh, I see. Why haven’t I heard about this before?”“I have a lot of friends at the orphanage, I might need at least three days to talk about all of them. I’ve never mentioned anything because I thought you didn’t like listening to it.”Claire uttered in an earnest tone, “You are my h
Wide and radiant smiles were plastered on the in-laws’ faces when Charlie said that he would buy a better car for them tomorrow.What Jacob didn’t realize was that he had just missed out on the top-spec 760.Claire was a little worried. After returning to their room and washing up, she quietly asked, “Do you really still have the money to buy a new car? I have some secret stash here, take it tomorrow!”Charlie waved his hands quickly. “No, I don’t need your money. I still have some, it’s enough.”Claire mumbled apologetically, “I’m so sorry, I didn’t know my dad and mom would be like this…”“What are you talking about? Your parents are my parents too. We are a family, I’m glad to be able to shower them with gifts once in a while.”Charlie lay on his tiny bed on the floor and said with a gentle smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll go and get a new car for dad tomorrow morning!”Claire smiled warmly. “Thank you, Charlie!”Charlie chuckled. “The pleasure is mine, my dear!”Claire suddenly b
