<\/h1>\n

Sabrina quickly donned a charming smile and addressed Charlie in a sweet tone, \u201cClass rep, welcome to Shangri-La! It\u2019s a true honor to have you here, and as your former college mate, I\u2019m delighted to see you. Please, come in\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

She thought her flattery and gentle demeanor would make Charlie overlook her earlier rudeness. However, Charlie was not as forgiving as she had hoped.<\/p>\n

Isaac was taken aback by Sabrina\u2019s words, promptly asking, \u201cLee, you\u2019re Mr. Wade\u2019s college mate?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes! Absolutely!\u201d Sabrina responded with urgency. \u201cMr. Wade was my class representative in college, and we were quite close!\u201d<\/p>\n

Isaac declared without hesitation, \u201cHead to the president\u2019s office tomorrow. You\u2019re going to be the HR manager of Shangri-La!\u201d<\/p>\n

In Shangri-La, moving from team leader to HR manager represented a significant leap in hierarchy. This promotion would not only boost her salary and benefits tenfold but also give her authority over a majority of the hotel\u2019s employees. Being an HR manager was considered a prestigious managerial position. Sabrina was so excited by this news that she nearly fainted.<\/p>\n

Charlie replied coldly, \u201cMr. Cameron, do you have any idea what my relationship with Sabrina Lee is?\u201d<\/p>\n

Isaac assumed Charlie was unhappy with the promotion and quickly offered, \u201cMr. Wade, I can make Miss Lee the vice president if that would make you happy!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie interjected, \u201cI reached out to Sabrina Lee for help because I didn\u2019t possess a membership card, and out of the blue, she insulted me and even urged the guards to harm me. And now, you want to promote her to vice president? What\u2019s the intention behind this? Are you trying to provoke me?\u201d<\/p>\n

Isaac felt a wave of panic wash over him; he had miscalculated his flattery! He shot a furious glare at Sabrina, his voice filled with anger as he exclaimed, \u201cHow dare you offend Mr. Wade? Did you borrow courage from a lion? Are you seeking trouble?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sabrina, terrified, fell to her knees, trembling as she cried out, \u201cMr. Cameron, I\u2019m so sorry!\u201d<\/p>\n

Isaac kicked her harshly, sending her sprawling away, shouting, \u201cYou foolish girl! I\u2019ll make sure you understand the consequences of offending Mr. Wade!\u201d<\/p>\n

He then turned to the security guards, barking, \u201cGive her a severe beating! Show no mercy; ruin that plastic face of hers and send a message throughout Aurous Hill that anyone who hires her will be opposing me, Isaac Cameron!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sabrina was filled with dread, pleading desperately, \u201cMr. Cameron, please forgive me!\u201d<\/p>\n

Isaac\u2019s face flushed with anger as he yelled, \u201cNow you realize your mistake, huh? What were you thinking earlier? How dare you provoke Mr. Wade? If it weren\u2019t for him, I\u2019d end you right now!\u201d<\/p>\n

Tears streamed down Sabrina\u2019s face as she crawled before Charlie, bowing deeply. \u201cMr. Wade, I\u2019m so sorry! Please, for the sake of our past friendship\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie looked at her with a frosty stare and replied, \u201cSabrina Lee, we may be friends, but why did you insult me and my wife just now?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cClass rep, I was completely out of line! It was my big mouth, please forgive me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t retaliate unless provoked. You\u2019ve crossed the line, so I won\u2019t let this slide! You\u2019ve brought this upon yourself!\u201d Charlie then scoffed. \u201cNow, experience the consequences of your own actions, you ignorant woman!\u201d<\/p>\n

Isaac growled, \u201cYou wretched girl! Don\u2019t you dare bother Mr. Wade again, or I\u2019ll tear your mouth off your plastic face!\u201d<\/p>\n

Sabrina didn\u2019t dare utter another word, remaining on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.<\/p>\n

Charlie ignored her completely and turned to Isaac, stating flatly, \u201cI need to discuss the Sky Garden with you. Let\u2019s go to your office.\u201d<\/p>\n

Isaac eagerly agreed, leading the way. \u201cOf course, Mr. Wade, right this way!\u201d<\/p>\n

Before they exited, he shouted to the guards, \u201cTeach her a lesson, and don\u2019t stop until I say so!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, Mr. Cameron!\u201d the guards replied nervously. They rushed toward Sabrina, forcing her down and giving her a harsh beating. Behind Charlie, Sabrina\u2019s cries echoed, but he paid no mind as Isaac guided him into Shangri-La.<\/p>\n

Once inside Isaac\u2019s office, Charlie got straight to the point, saying, \u201cMy wife and I will be celebrating our wedding anniversary in a few days. Can I book the entire Sky Garden?\u201d<\/p>\n

Isaac responded without hesitation, \u201cYoung Master, to maintain fairness to all premium members, we don\u2019t allow the chartering of the Sky Garden, not even for prominent politicians in the city. However, I assure you, it will be reserved exclusively for you in the future!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie replied coolly, \u201cThat\u2019s not necessary. I just need it for my anniversary, and I would appreciate your help in arranging a surprise for my wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely! You can count on all of us at Shangri-La to fulfill your requests!\u201d<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

After taking care of the arrangements at Shangri-La, Charlie boarded the bus home. He noticed that nearly all the passengers were engrossed in videos on their phones. To his astonishment, everyone was watching the same clip! It was the video of him flaunting thirteen million dollars in cash at Emerald Court just days prior!<\/p>\n

The video began with Stephen and the security team stepping out of their black Rolls-Royces. Then, it shifted to the guards unloading numerous black suitcases into Emerald Court, humiliating the arrogant sales manager. The entire incident had been filmed and uploaded online, but the video unfortunately did not clearly show Charlie\u2019s face.<\/p>\n

The footage spread rapidly throughout Aurous Hill, igniting curiosity as people speculated about the identity of the wealthy individual. Many young women began to fantasize about their own rags-to-riches stories, hoping to encounter their own Prince Charming soon.<\/p>\n

Charlie breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his face was too blurry in the video to be recognized. When he finally arrived home, the atmosphere was filled with joy and excitement. Claire had secured the Emgrand Group contract and was on the verge of being appointed as the director of the Wilson Group. Her parents were overwhelmed with tears of happiness.<\/p>\n

After years of being mocked and belittled, they could finally bask in the glory of their daughter\u2019s success! With his in-laws in such a good mood, they no longer viewed him as despicable or bothersome.<\/p>\n

Elaine exclaimed joyfully, \u201cI\u2019m just so thrilled today! My daughter is amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n

Turning to Charlie, she smiled\u2014a rare sight indeed\u2014and said, \u201cCharlie, despite your shortcomings, I must give credit where it\u2019s due; Claire\u2019s success is thanks to your encouragement. You won\u2019t need to cook dinner tonight. We\u2019ll celebrate out!\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire giggled. \u201cLet\u2019s go to Kempinski!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s too pricey!\u201d Elaine gasped. \u201cIsn\u2019t it at least a thousand dollars per person?\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire laughed, \u201cMom, the director\u2019s salary is substantial, with an annual income of one million.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWow!\u201d Elaine clapped her hands in delight. \u201cThat\u2019s incredible! My dear Claire has finally achieved something remarkable!\u201d<\/p>\n

After a moment of thought, she added, \u201cBut you\u2019ll need to give me 70% of your salary. You young people don\u2019t know how to handle money. Hand it over, and I\u2019ll manage it for you. I promise I\u2019ll handle it better than you ever could!\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire agreed, \u201cAlright, Mom. I\u2019ll give you that every month, but let\u2019s set some boundaries: Please don\u2019t insult Charlie again; he\u2019s your son-in-law!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay, okay! For your sake, I promise to ease up on my criticisms of him!\u201d<\/p>\n
