Se connecterBoth Charlie and Hamed felt a little awkward just then, as there were plenty of things that shouldn't be said out loud.Hence, deciding not to go down that path, Charlie clapped Hamed on the shoulder. "Try to head home and get things done. Call me right away if you're having trouble—I'll do my best to help.""Okay!" Hamed nodded, emotional. "Thanks, brother!"-Charlie and Claire remained adamant about not attending the evening party.On the other hand, both Elaine and Jacob were very interested, and having heard about the details, were keen to join the fun.Bernard was himself keen to use this opportunity to get a freebie off Tanya—his enthusiastic invitation was naturally extended in hopes that Tanya would sing at the party.The seaview bar always had a live band, a stage, and all the proper equipment to deliver a lively atmosphere. If Tanya would sing some of her trademark songs there, the guests would be pleased, and, most importantly, the establishment would gain global att
Fortunately, Tanya didn't want to be mobbed wherever she went. She had been staying in her villa, ordering room service to avoid the trouble.So Charlie didn't bump into Tanya at the restaurant; instead, he bumped into Hamed and his two wives.Both men were once again chatting outside until Hamed told Charlie, "I'll be going back to Syria after the party. Why don't you join us for some drinks? It's rare for us to meet.""No, I'll be skipping the party," Charlie smiled. "But we can have a couple of drinks at the seaview bar after.""Sure! I'll call you after the party," Hamed nodded, and then flashed a mysterious smile. "So, did you bring the missus here for a Human Creation Project?""What project?" Charlie blurted, not quite following.Hamed chuckled and mimed a bulging belly, raising a brow. "Human Creation Project! Getting the missus pregnant! I myself am already worried that I have no heir, while your estate is way bigger than mine. You'd need at least ten heirs to inherit it
As 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 saw Hugo’s expression that was full of shame, his impression of him also changed a little.He had originally thought that Hugo was just an egoist who was only greedy for glory and wealth, but looking at it now, he still had some conscience.As for Hugo, he had never said these heartfelt w
Therefore, Charlie’s plan was to sneak into Bergen International Airport before the plane landed to keep an eye on this plane as well as the people and cargo unloaded from this plane to see where their destination was and who their target truly was.Although Bergen was the second largest city in Nort
With that said, Charlie said again, “Mom, how about this? I’ll rush over there now and call my client on the way to see if he can help think of a way to release you as soon as possible. After that, I’ll pick you up directly, and we can go back to Providence together!”In truth, Charlie had already ar
This was especially so when his daughter was still pregnant at the moment.When Keith saw that Merlin was crying, he hurriedly said, “Merlin, there will be great blessings after a catastrophe. You should be happy, so why are you crying?!”Having said that, he quickly turned to Kathleen and said with g
