Gerald was taken aback.


    The vi at Thompson First represented the pinnacle of the White family’s assets.


    This property belonged to Zeke, the current patriarch of the White family and Gerald’s uncle.


    Zeke was also Kevin’s father, while Gerald’s own father held the position of second-inmand.


    Despite Gerald and his father’s deep affection for Thompson First, they simply could not afford such avish vi!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Thus, when Gerald learned that his uncle had decided to give this vi to Charlie, he was filled with shock and difort. He quickly called Wendy, saying, “Wendy, hold on a second. I need to ask my uncle about this.”


    Wendy hung up, shooting a furious re at Charlie. Gritting her teeth, she demanded, “Charlie, what did you do? How did you manage to con Uncle White into giving you this vi?”


    Charlie responded casually, “Mr. White offered me the vi of his own volition.”


    “You’re lying!” Wendy eximed suddenly. “You’re not a member of the White family! Why on earth would Uncle White just give you such an expensive property? You must have used some underhanded trick to get this vi!”


    Just then, Wendy received a call from Gerald. “Wendy, it seems my uncle is extremely busy right now. He hung up on me without saying a word.”


    With a sneer, Charlie took out his cellphone, activated the speakerphone, and dialed Zeke directly.


    As soon as the phone rang, Zeke answered immediately.


    Wendy was left speechless.


    “Mr. Wade!” Zeke eximed, his voice dripping with ttery. “Mr. Wade, have you had a chance to visit the vi I gifted you? Are you pleased with it?”


    Charlie quickly replied, “Yes, I’m currently at the vi. It’s truly beautiful. Thank you.”


    Zeke responded, “Mr. Wade, you don’t have to thank me. I’m just happy that you like it!”<fn32fe> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? Find_Novel(.</fn32fe>


    Charlie continued, maintaining his calm demeanor, “I’m calling to let you know that I’m very satisfied with the vi.”


    “Mr. Wade, please feel free to let me know if you need anything else. I’ll do my utmost to assist you and ensure your satisfaction!”


    Everyone surrounding Charlie was astonished.


    They had not anticipated that Zeke had voluntarily gifted this vi to Charlie. Why would he do such a thing?


    Moreover, Zeke was Wendy’s future father-inw, yet he was so deferential and respectful towards Charlie. This only fueled Wendy’s frustration.


    Finally unable to contain her anger, she interjected loudly, interrupting Charlie’s phone call, “Uncle White, I’m Gerald’s fiancée, Wendy. Why would you give Charlie this vi without any reason? Can you exin this to me?”


    “What? Who do you think you are? Do you really believe you have the right to question my personal affairs?”


    Zeke retorted coldly.


    Wendy felt her face flush with embarrassment.


    At that moment, Charlie calmly said, “Mr. White, I think you should rify this situation. Otherwise, they’ll remain convinced that I tricked you into giving me the vi.”


    “Alright!” Zeke responded promptly. “Since Mr. Wade requests an exnation, I will oblige him out of respect. I owe Mr. Wade a tremendous favor for saving my life. That’s why I’m gifting him this vi as a token of my gratitude. I hope you all will stop doubting Mr. Wade, as I won’t tolerate further skepticism!”


    Wendy felt humiliated as her face turned red from the embarrassment of being reprimanded by her future father-inw in front of everyone.


    Seeing Wendy so upset, Christopher cleared his throat and said, “Mr. White, Wendy is still quite young. She only asked about the vi out of curiosity and meant no harm.”


    Zeke ignored Christopher and turned to Charlie, asking respectfully, “Mr. Wade, is there anything else you would like me to rify?”


    “No, that’s all,” Charlie replied.


    “Alright then. I won’t take up any more of your time, Mr. Wade. Please reach out if you need anything,” Zeke said before hanging up the phone.
