Chapter 6962
Not giving Claire the chance to refuse further, Charlie dragged her along toward the crowd and Kelly.Kelly was at the center of the crowd, with each person holding their champagne flutes and listening to her speak eloquently. Even Miki could only watch her admiringly from the very edge of the crowd.That was when she caught sight of Charlie and Claire approaching out of the corner of her eye, followed by Loreen and Miki's cousin, Sachiko. Her brow creased right then, and she stared at Charlie intently to watch how things would play out.When Charlie reached the edge of the crowd and was about to call out to Kelly, Miki was smirking as she strode up and warned very loudly, "You're not supposed to be here, Mr. Wade."She really didn't have to be that loud to persuade Charlie to leave, but she did so deliberately to draw everyone's attention and capitalize on the situation. Since her grandfather, the head of the family, was also present, she could use the opportunity to take Sachiko

Sachiko had no comeback despite Miki's diss, but she wasn't keen on arguing or keeping things awkward.Turning to Loreen, Charlie, and Claire, she quickly smiled at them to ease the awkwardness. "Let's get a drink over there! Come on!" Miki laughed coldly, seeing that Sachiko was trying to bail. "What, did I hit the nail on the head? Well, let me give it to you straight—I'm going to tell Grandpa as soon as I'm done here. So, you'd best pray your unseemly friends don't make Tanya uncomfortable, or you would have brought shame to the family!"With that, she turned to leave and headed to the middle of the room before Sachiko could argue.Sachiko quickly apologized to Loreen, Charlie, and Claire, "I'm really sorry! Miki's a cousin, but she's always been overbearing and a little brusque in the way she talks. Please don't take it to heart!"Claire and Loreen smiled, shaking their heads to tell her that it was fine.On the other hand, Charlie's attention remained on Miki.Although Mik

Charlie was stunned by Miki's bluntness—should she really say such things out loud?But she did, so Charlie wasn't planning to speak in riddles either, replying, "I am unemployed, only offering Feng Shui consultancy from time to time to make some money. If you have any such requests, I definitely can help."It was only then that Miki realized Charlie was not being humble.Frowning for a moment, she soon smiled in amusement. "There are similar things here in Japan, but I'm afraid it's a niche if not downright undesirable. You're not getting clients from the elite circles here."Then, turning to Claire, "And what do you do for a living, ma'am?""I have a design studio of my own. Just opened it recently," Claire replied."A workshop? Where? Oskia?" Miki pressed."Yes—in Aurous Hill," Claire replied.Miki actually considered for a moment that Claire was a famous fashion designer in Oskia, but she had never even heard of Aurous Hill. It could only mean that it was a second-rate ci

As Tanya was way too famous, her concert in Tokyo drew not just elites, but also many famous celebrities from across the country.In fact, Claire and Loreen recognized many invited celebrities, all of whom were A-list actors and popular singers.Charlie watched as the pair started listing the faces they had spotted while he stood in a corner.He simply wasn't interested in any celebrities, here or elsewhere, and even less keen to mingle with the elites around the room. He was never one who sucked up to wealth and influence, and the elites here didn't interest him, no matter how accomplished they were.After all, even the Rothschilds were slaves to his whims, and everyone here was insignificant compared to the Rothschilds.Interestingly, everyone here was speaking English and not a single word of Japanese, which surprised Charlie.Still, it soon made sense to him as the Japanese had always admired the western side of the globe, as suits, neckties, steaks, and the English language

Loreen was envious of Claire, too, especially since she had had the hots for Charlie for a while now, and seeing how Charlie would dote on Claire in every way made her envy Claire even more.Still, she took a moment to compose herself as she told Charlie and Claire, "Meet Sasaki Sachiko. Her mother and my mother were friends in university, and we both go way back, too."Sachiko hugged Loreen's arm and smiled, "My mom was just saying that we should visit Oskia soon, and she wants to meet your mom. I'll join her if I have the time!""Great!" Loreen beamed happily. "Do tell me before you come—I will definitely arrange the best trip ever as your host, and we can share a bed at my place!"Sachiko smiled and nodded. "I was just thinking about inviting you as well as Mr. and Mrs. Wade over to my place, but you told me you booked a hotel."Loreen turned and smiled pointedly at Charlie just then, "Sorry, but Charlie here insisted that we shouldn't owe you too much. I mean, as soon as I tol

Charlie, having nothing to do in the morning, was dragged along by Claire and Loreen on a stroll across Tokyo.In the afternoon, Loreen took them to a famous sushi restaurant, and the chef was an old geezer with a strange temper.The food was expensive, and it was hard to get a booking there. Charlie had three distinct opinions after that lunch.First and foremost, the interior was more than a little rundown.Secondly, he couldn't fathom what the divine flavor was about.Thirdly, he definitely didn't get a full stomach from it.After that, they returned to the hotel to unload what they had gotten from shopping, and Loreen urged Charlie and Claire to put on something formal before the pre-concert private party.After they had cleaned up and changed, they headed downstairs, where a Lexus LS was waiting for them.It was a Mitsui Group event, and they made sure to provide transport to every guest, each one being the same car model.It was a few hours before the actual concert, but
