Chapter 16
Author: Lord Leaf
Sabrina crossed her arms in front of her chest and said in a pompous tone, “Yeah, I despise you, so what? Can’t you bear some criticism now, you loser?”

“Everyone in college knows that you married Claire and became their live-in son-in-law after graduation! A miserable loser who couldn’t even afford a decent meal in college and a toyboy after graduation! How dare you come looking for my help being such a big loser as you are? Who do you think you are?”

A rage of fury was slowly burning inside Charlie.

One would not attack unless attacked first. Sabrina was going too far this time!

Right at this moment, he received a text message from Stephen. “Young Master, the Wade family owns Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. The Shangri-La of Aurous Hill is just one of our many Shangri-Las throughout the world.”

Charlie’s pupil shrank in astonishment!

Did he just say that the Wade family owned Shangri-Las?

He responded reflexively, “You’re not bluffing, are you?”

“Of course not. The person in charge of Aurous Hill’s Shangri-La is Isaac Cameron, his number is 155…, please give him a call and he will settle everything for you.”

“Okay.”

Sabrina was a little agitated by Charlie’s attitude, staring at his phone and texting while she was mocking him.

She felt like she was abusing a dog and of course, she wanted to hear the dog yelp.

Unexpectedly, Charlie didn’t say anything.

It proved that in his case, time did not change anything. He was a loser since college, and he was the same loser now who didn’t even budge after being insulted.

Hence, she increased the cockiness in her tone and sneered, “Hey, Mr. Class Rep, you’re pretty good at putting up with insults!”

“Oh yes, by the way, I heard that you and Claire have not slept together after being married for three years. Is Claire actually someone else’s mistress and you’re nothing but a smokescreen for her affairs? Hahaha!”

Charlie frowned indignantly.

‘Not only did you insult me, but you also insulted my wife. Sabrina Lee, you’re digging your own grave!’

Enraged, he called Isaac Cameron’s number. He stared at Sabrina and said flatly while waiting for the call to be answered, “I’m going to ask your person in charge about how Shangri-La recruits employees, for even people with a foul mouth like you can work here!”

“What? How dare you taunt me? You really need a beating!” Sabrina growled furiously and shouted to the guards beside her, “He’s here looking for trouble, beat him!”

At this moment, his call was answered.

“Hello, who is it?”

A charismatic male voice came from the other end of the line.

Charlie said coldly, “Are you Isaac Cameron? I am Charlie Wade, I’m now at the entrance of Shangri-La. I’ll give you a minute to get the h*ll here or you can just get out of Shangri-La!”

Upon hearing it, the man who was originally full of charisma immediately panicked and stuttered, “Young…Young Master? Are you really at the Shangri-La now?”

“Fifty seconds!”

The man yelped over the phone and blurted frantically, “Please wait a moment, I’ll be there right away!”

Sabrina smirked as she listened to Charlie’s phone conversation and mocked sarcastically, “Hey, Charlie, I didn’t know that you’re so good at blowing your own horn! Do you know who Mr. Cameron is? Even the most prestigious members of Shangri-La dare not to be so pompous in front of Mr. Cameron! Do you really think you can fool me by pretending to make a call?”

Charlie glared at him and said faintly, “You’ll know in thirty seconds if I’m fooling you!”

Sabrina laughed contemptuously. “Okay, our beloved class rep! I’ll wait for thirty seconds! Oh no, let’s make it three minutes. If Mr. Cameron doesn’t show himself in three minutes, I’ll let the guards tear your bluffing mouth off your face, you lying little prick! Hahaha! This is so funny!”

Twenty seconds later, a middle-aged man in a top-of-the-line bespoke suit ran towards them in a panic.

He was a dog who worked for the Wade family. He was also a very powerful dog.

Ever since he had been appointed as the general manager of the Shangri-La in Aurous Hill, he became one of the most respectable icons in the city. When was the last time he was ever so panicked and anxious?

However, his panic was understandable. He had never imagined that the young master of the Wade family would appear at Shangri-La, which was under his management…

Sabrina intended to continue insulting Charlie when she suddenly saw the guards looking pale and horrified as they glanced behind her.

She followed their stunned gazes and turned around when she saw Mr. Cameron emerge. Her eyes opened widely as if she had been struck by lightning.

Then, she turned back at Charlie, her eyes full of horror. “This… how… how is it possible…”

“Who is Mr. Charlie Wade?”

Isaac’s voice was trembling in fear and disbelief.

Everyone stared at him in bewilderment, stunned. The man who could easily shake Aurous Hill by simply stomping his feet had become so terrified and frightened that even his voice changed!

Charlie said loudly, “I am!”

Isaac quickly rushed towards him and bowed. “Young…”

Charlie interjected immediately, “Mr. Cameron, some things are not suitable to be said out loud in public.”

Isaac was shaking with jitters upon the statement.

‘Oh, my goodness! I’m such a stupid dog! Young Master’s identity must be highly confidential, yet I almost called him out! If I offend Young Master, it will be the end for me!’

Thus, he hurriedly changed the address but still spoke in a respectful tone, “Mr. Wade, welcome to Shangri-La. Please follow me to my office for further discussion.”

Sabrina was utterly stunned. She could not accept the fact but it had unfolded right in front of her eyes.

Who was Charlie Wade really? What was his real background? How could he make the big boss of Shangri-La bow before him like a lowly peasant?

He wouldn’t bear a grudge against her for her mockery, right?

    Kaeden's speech certainly showed the world Curtis Autos' ambitions, and the decision to use Curtis' name showed that the two families weren't just betting their reputation on this project, but also Curtis'.After that, Yolden and Matilda took the stage as well. As the CEO and the CLO respectively, they each spoke about their perspective and determination for the project.Matilda's presence alone proved Curtis Autos' determination—no other carmaker had ever appointed an elite veteran lawyer as their CLO off the bat. In fact, most wouldn't even worry about it since one never actually needed legal assistance… That was, until they paid through their nose for it.Like ecommerce, the automotive industry was a hotspot for commercial disputes, and one was always vulnerable to pitfalls without a formidable team of lawyers. It wasn't just a matter of intellectual property—even the names of car models could lead to trademarking and copyright disputes. It was like exporting a car model name, on

    After escorting the two patriarchs off the stage, Kaeden returned to the podium, brimming with confidence as he announced. "And now, there will be a PPT presentation as we unveil our forecasted figures for this project."First and foremost, as stated before, our initial investment is set at forty billion USD, which will be the lifeblood for this project."Within the year, we aim to construct a megaplant capable of producing at least 350,000 automotive units in twelve months. That number is projected to be doubled in two years, and following the second phase, which will also be two years long, it will further rise to 1.5 million units."The sheer scale of becoming a carmaker with a 1.5 million unit production capacity certainly left everyone awestruck, as such numbers were rare for any carmaker.It was absolutely unbelievable for a new brand to be this ambitious and reach such numbers, as the carmakers that could reach this level would have established their brand for decades.Howe

    Everyone was left awestruck simultaneously as the words 'Curtis Automotive' flashed on the screen, many of whom were reminded of a question that was asked many times back in the day.How far and how high would Curtis Wade's accomplishments continue?While most journalists working now wouldn't know that, the realization soon struck—Curtis was Jeremiah Wade's second son!So, this joint project was named in honor of the man who had left many years ago, though it was not surprising that the two families would suddenly choose to work together again after twenty years.After a brief pause, Kaeden sighed emotionally on the stage. "As most might have guessed, Curtis Automotives is named after Curtis Wade, my late brother-in-law. The brand shall inherit his will—an indomitable spirit which never backs down in adversity and always strives to improve to the next level."Both of our families are also ready to go all out to establish Curtis Autos as an international powerhouse. It is our ambit

    The Ackers and the Wades were investing over thirty times more money into their new car brand compared to Ricebolt! It was a power move through and through—forget Oskia, it was unlikely anyone could invest this much even if it was the automotive industry.The audience behind the screens was all gaping too, with Aurous Hill residents all whooping in excitement. After all, they were talking about a sudden injection of 300 billion Oskian dollars into the city. They could certainly expect everything to improve up to the next level, and each of them would more or less reap some benefits from this.Meanwhile, Kaeden continued on stage, "I'm sure everyone is aware that the Ackeriver Group has recently acquired Godot Autos, which had collapsed due to bankruptcy. That being said, we won't be trying to resuscitate the brand, as our two families have agreed to establish a new one."All of Godot Autos' human resources and hardware will now be assimilated under our new banner, while their name

    Hearing that the press conference was starting, Claire and Nellie stopped gossiping, while Charlie breathed a sigh of relief.It was truly in a journalist's nature to be a monger for gossip, what with all the news articles they published or read each day. And at the rate she had been spilling information, Nellie might even let slip something vital that might expose Charlie. That included his last name being Wade, and the day his parents were killed, which also happened to be the day he was sent to that orphanage. Fortunately, Claire wasn't one who obsessed over gossip, or she would have noticed the signs with just a little prying. In addition, Charlie's personal information had always been well protected. All the media knew was that Curtis Wade's son had gone missing, but they didn't know the boy's name, or Nellie would have started grilling him no matter how simple-minded she seemed.Nonetheless, the press conference soon began with Kaeden taking the stage as the emcee.

    Nellie smiled. "Well, you see, the rumors always had it that Curtis' family died here in Aurous Hill, and that the Ackers and the Wades chose this place for their joint project to memorialize them."Claire was even more shocked, "Wait, Ashley Acker died here, in Aurous Hill? I've read all the articles about her, and people are still talking about her accomplishments stateside, but I never heard about that!"Nellie shrugged. "It makes sense if you have never heard of it. There's basically been a media blackout since what happened to Curtis' family, and it's not just Ashley. Curtis was famous in his own right and accomplished a lot individually as well.""Fair enough, but I don't think I've heard of him," Claire replied, frowning. "I did hear about Ashley because she made a name for herself in Silicon Valley, where she invested in many networking giants when they were just startups."Nellie nodded. "Well, Curtis is less famous, but what he accomplished was nothing short of genius. I
