The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Chapter 3696



In fact, Vintage Deluxe had not announced the news that it would be co-hosting the auction with Shangri-La.

This was also Charlie's intention.

Some time ago, the public had assumed that Ten Thousand Armies had taken over half of the Wade family's assets. Many people had intended to draw a clear line with the Wade family and so, the business of hundreds of Shangri-La's all around the world had also been affected to a considerable extent.

Charlie was planning to take advantage of the auction this time to teach those wealthy people a lesson so that they would have to stay in Shangri-La before they could participate in the auction.

However, Charlie did not plan to announce the news immediately because if the auction venue was announced early, there might be many people with ulterior motives or malicious intentions who would come to the auction venue in advance to stake out the venue.

It was also possible for some people who were eyeing the Rejuvenating Pill to want to do something at the venue.

Therefore, Charlie intended to put this in suspense and only reveal it at the last minute so that the

organizer, which was Vintage Deluxe, would arrange for these wealthy people who had signed up for the auction to check-in at Shangri-La directly upon arrival in Aurous Hill. At that time, it would be up to them to offer their own prices for the rates of a room for one night for one million, ten million, or even one hundred million dollars.

Regardless, Shangri-La would be closed for management in advance, and those who were not staying in Shangri-La would not have to opportunity t o participate in the auction,

Moreover, during this period of time, they could secretly prepare for the renovation of the ballroom in Shangri-La as well as work on the security details to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

However, what Charlie did not expect was that his intention would be perceived by a woman whom he had never met before.

Kathleen and Sophie were both the same. They were both elites who had been carefully cultivated by their big families, but the only difference was that Kathleen had begun to carry out practical exercises ever since she was just a teenager whereas Sophie was just a student before Charlie had pushed her to assume the high position as the head of the Schulz family.

Furthermore, Sophie had even planned to continue her studies in the United States before this.

Therefore, even though there were not many differences in their age gaps and the environment that they had grown up in, Kathleen was still a lot stronger compared to Sophie in terms of her character as well as her level of refinement.

When she realized that something was not quite right with Shangri-La, she immediately surmised in her heart that there had to be some kind of connection between Shangri-La and Vintage Deluxe. Content

She was even 70% certain that Shangri-La would be the actual venue of the Rejuvenating Pill auction.

So, she asked Sherry to book the room in Shangri-La immediately. After that, the group was escorted by a pickup team, and they headed to Shangri- La directly.

At this time, Shangri-La's business was still somewhat depressing.

Although the entire administrative building was still closed to the public, the occupancy rate of the remaining half of the available rooms was only about thirty percent.

For a hotel with an occupancy rate of more than eighty percent over the previous years, this was even more desolated compared to the New Year. The number of service staff in the hotel lobby was even more compared to the number of guests.

When Kathleen stepped into the hotel lobby, she also felt a little surprised.

It was truly unexpected for a five-star hotel's business to be so bleak.NôvelDrama.Org content.

Just as Kathleen was standing in the middle of the empty lobby, looking around and wondering, two men walked quickly past her.

As they passed by, she heard the

younger man speak up and say,

"Send those few people to Albert. As for the researcher, leave him alone first. Let him take his time to do his research slowly."

The older man nodded and said, "Okay, Master Wade."

Immediately afterward, the young man who was called Master Wade asked, "Has Jasmine arrived yet?"
