The Wade family did indeed have many branches of distant relatives. These distant relatives were spread all over the country and even all around the world. Although they also had the last name Wade, compared to the Wade family in Eastcliff, their economic situation was indeed far worse off.

Therefore, if he was a member of the Wade family in Eastcliff, Tom certainly would not be able to afford to mess with them. However, if Charlie was just a distant relative of the Wade family, Tom really did not have to be afraid at all. 3

After all, the Zielinskis were also a dignified and reputable family. Moreover, the Zielinski family had a pretty good relationship with the Wade family. So, they certainly would not allow a distant relative to trample all over him, right? 3

At this moment, Charlie smiled playfully before he asked him, "You said that you knew Carmen Wade just now. Are you very close to her?"

"Of course!" Tom blurted out, "Aunt Wade has a very good relationship with my father. We even had dinner together just a few days ago!" 3

Charlie asked with much interest, "Since you have such a good relationship with Carmen Wade, didn't

she mention me in front of you at all?"

Tom curled his lips as he said disdainfully, "You're nothing more than a distant relative of the Wade family. As far as I know, even if there are not one thousand, there are at least eight hundred young people like you amongst the Wade family's distant relatives. So, how could Aunt Wade possibly mention you in front of me?"

Charlie smiled and said, "Why don't we do this, then? I'll get someone to bring your cell phone here. You can call her and ask her about it yourself."

When Tom saw the playful expression on Charlie's face, he could not help but feel a sense of panic in his heart as he thought to himself, 'Could it be that this guy is truly some big shot?'

But on second thought, it would not be a bad idea for him to call Carmen. At the very least, he would have the opportunity to send her some signals to call for help!

So, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay! You can give me back my cell phone, and I will call Aunt Wade to ask her about your origin!"

Charlie glanced at Isaac and gave him a signal as he said, "Mr. Cameron, ask someone to send his cell phone over here."

At the same time, the Zielinski family had also asked someone to inquire and ask for some information.

According to the news that they had received, the group of burly men from the airport had already brought Tom directly to Shangri-La!

The members of the Zielinski family

were all shocked. Everyone knew that Shangri-La was the Wade family's property. So, now that Tom had already been captured and taken to Shangri-La, who else could it be if it was not done by a member

of the Wade family? 2

However, the Zielinski family did not have any grudge against the Wade family. On the contrary, they had a pretty good relationship with one another. So, why would the Wade family kidnap Tom?

Therefore, Tom's father, Zacheus, took out his cell phone without any hesitation at all as he made a phone call to Carmen.

Carmen's name was saved as 'Carmen' in Zacheus's cell phone, and this clearly showed that the both of them had an unusual relationship. 6

Sure enough, as soon as the call was connected, although Zacheus was feeling very anxious, he asked in a gentle tone first, "Carmen, what are you doing?"

Carmen also seemed to be quite happy when she received his phone call, and she said cheerfully, "Oh, m e? I'm doing some body treatments."

Zacheus asked in surprise, "Why are you getting a treatment done again? Didn't you already get it done yesterday?"

Carmen smiled and said, "Sigh. Isn't

it because I did not have time to

care for my skin when I went outstation not too long ago? So, I'm seizing the opportunity to make up forit during this time."

As she spoke, she stretched her body lazily and yawned before she smiled and said, "Why are you calling me? Is it because you miss me?" 2 Zacheus hurriedly said, "Of course I miss you. I miss you all the time, but the reason why I'm calling you is mainly because I want to ask you something." Carmen giggled and asked, "What is it?"

Zacheus blurted out, "Tom went outstation to prepare for his performance. However, he was taken away as soon as he got off his plane."

"Are you serious?" Carmen said in surprise, "Tom is a public figure. Who would possibly dare to take him away in broad daylight?"

Zacheus sighed. "Don't mention it anymore. There is news saying that he has been kidnapped and taken to the Shangri-La hotel in Aurous Hill. I wonder if the Wade family had anything to do with this?"

Carmen was shocked, and she blurted out as she asked, "What did you say?! Aurous Hill?!" 6
