Wendy did not expect that the belt that she bought to give to Charlie had somewhat angered her grandmother again.When she saw her grandmother’s temper where she had to control everything and make decisions on everything, Wendy also got angry, and she blurted out, “Every single cent that I spend right now is all my own hard-earned money. It is my freedom to buy whatever I want! You have no right to interfere!”“What?! I have no right to interfere?!” Lady Wilson had just been stifled by Charlie, and even though she had tried every means that she could to please him, Charlie had rejected her directly. So, she was already feeling very depressed. When she saw that Wendy also actually dared to talk back to her, she instantly became very angry and enraged.Immediately after that, she stopped in her tracks and angrily rebuked, “Don’t forget that I’ve always been the head of this family. I was the head of the family in the past, now, and also in the future! Our family is facing the most dif

When Christopher and Harold heard this, the father and son duo who were lying on the bed were both completely stunned for more than a minute.Harold was still in disbelief as he spoke up and asked, “Grandma... You’re not joking with me and just teasing me, right?”“How I wish that I was just joking!” Lady Wilson said resentfully, “I would never have dreamt that the noble man who helped Wendy would be him. If I could choose, I’d rather choose anyone else rather than him.”Harold had a puzzled expression on his face as he said, “But... But why would Charlie help Wendy? It would only be reasonable to say that Charlie should be holding a grudge against us, and he should be more than eager to make a laughingstock out of us. So, why would he help us?”Wendy spoke up, “Brother, you should not try to measure the stature of a great man using the yardstick of a small person. Brother-in-Law might have had a grudge against us before this, but that is also because we have constantly been findin

Christopher’s words did not really comfort Harold in any way at all.On the contrary, what he had said was too pragmatic, and this instantly made Harold feel in despair about his future life.He had always thought very highly of himself, and he had always felt that he would definitely become a big shot in the future. He even felt that his future wife would have to be a good, first-class woman. She must not only have the best looks and the perfect figure, but she also had to have a strong and extraordinary family background.That was also the reason why he had been so intent on pursuing Loreen with all of his heart. He had wanted to become the son-in-law of the Thomas family.But now, his father’s words made him realize that he would have absolutely nothing to do with a woman such as Loreen anymore in the future.In the future, he might only be able to become a blue-collar worker who had to work hard to earn money, and he was also afraid that he would have a hard time finding a wom

Jacob instantly regretted his words as soon as he was done saying them.He had just been momentarily agitated, and that was the reason why he had blurted those words out. It was only after he had finished speaking when he realized that he had stirred up a hornet’s nest. Sure enough, as soon as Elaine heard this, she stretched out her hands as though she wanted to fight with him as she cursed, “Jacob, you b*stard! It’s fine if you don’t want to give me anything, but you are actually coming up with all those damn f*cking ideas when my good son-in-law is giving me something! Just wait and see if I will f*cking tear your face up into pieces!”Claire did not expect that the both of them would start fighting as they talked. So, she hurriedly stepped forward and stood in between them to block them as she said helplessly, “Oh! Dad! Mom! How long are the both of you going to keep this up?! Don’t forget that it is Charlie’s birthday today. It’s supposed to be a happy and joyous occasion, but

The family of four dined and wined to their heart’s content. Jacob was already a little drunk, and he had already started to speak with a lisp. It was obvious at first glance that he had drunk too much.Both Elaine and Claire could not hold their liquor very well, but after Elaine had heard that a bottle of wine costs more than a hundred thousand dollars, she ground her teeth and drank more than half a bottle of the wine. She drank until she was delirious, and she looked foolishly happy as she held onto the bottle of wine.Claire drank less, and although her cheeks were also a little flushed, she was still very sober. When she saw that everyone had already dined and wined to their hearts’ content and there was only an hour left to the concert, Claire then said to Charlie, “Husband, I’ll go upstairs and change my clothes. The both of us can just head to the concert directly in a short while!”Charlie nodded, and he smiled as he said, “Go ahead. I’ll wait for you downstairs.”At this
