Aaron was seething with anger upon hearing Charlie’s remarks.


    He shot a disdainful look at Charlie and retorted, “You’re quite theedian. My son-inw is incredibly respectful towards me. Why on earth would he ever strike me?”


    With that, Aaron pointed his finger at Jake and dered with arrogance, “Let me set the record straight. My son-inw is leagues ahead of your pathetic one! Do you have any idea how much pocket money my dutiful son-inw gives me each month? A whopping one hundred thousand dors! I’m not trying to belittle you, but can you even earn that much in a year?”


    Jake scoffed and replied, “Charlie, you’re really something else! Don Albert will be here any minute. If you don’t leave now, do you really think I won’t ask Don Albert to deal with youter?”


    “Are you actually serious about getting Albert to silence me?” Charlie asked, disbelief etched on his face.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Jake sneered, “What? You doubt it? Do you even know my connection to Don Albert?”


    Charlie shook his head and feigned curiosity, “Care to enlighten me about your rtionship with Albert?”


    “I’m a close brother to Don Albert!” Jake shot back, ring at Charlie. “Who gave you the right to call him Albert? You should refer to him as Don Albert!”


    Charlie smiled and replied, “When Albert shows up, you can ask him if he dares to make me call him Don Albert. How does that sound?”


    Surprised, Jake looked at Charlie and sneered, “How dare you disrespect Don Albert? You’re finished! I’ll make sure he tears you apart when he arrives!”


    Just then, Jake noticed Albert entering the lobby, apanied by two loyal followers.


    Excitedly, Jake waved his hand and called out, “Don Albert, over here!”


    With a smug look, he turned to Charlie and said, “Charlie, Don Albert is here. You’re in big trouble now!”


    Charlie’s back was turned to the entrance, so Albert didn’t see him as he walked in, and Charlie didn’t bother to look back.


    Once Don Albert reached them, Jake quickly announced, “Don Albert, there’s a foolish bird here being disrespectful to you! He’s addressing you just as ‘Albert!’”


    Albert frowned, ready to assert his authority, but when he turned around and spotted Charlie among the crowd, he froze. His voice trembled as he asked, “Wade… Mr. Wade, what brings you here?”


    The room fell silent, everyone shocked by Albert’s words.


    What was going on?!


    Albert had a fearsome reputation, yet here he was, showing such deference to Charlie?!


    Why was he calling Charlie ‘Mr. Wade’ when he was so much younger?


    Charlie regarded Albert coldly and asked sharply, “Albert, is this your so-called brother? He not only tried to act tough in front of me, but he kept boasting about how he’d get you to silence me today.”


    Albert was now trembling in shock!


    Who was Charlie? He was more significant to Albert than his own father! If it weren’t for Charlie, he would never havee into possession of the miraculous pill!<fn85fb> Th?s chapter is updated by find·novel</fn85fb>


    Furthermore, Albert had been striving to win Isaac’s favor without sess, but now Isaac was showing him respect due to his connection with Charlie.


    In Albert’s eyes, Charlie was almost like a parental figure!


    As for Jake, he was merely one of Albert’sckeys. Why would he ever turn against someone like Charlie, who he considered family? What was he thinking?


    With a re, Albert turned to Jake and said in a chilling tone, “You dared to offend Mr. Wade?”


    Jake was left in utter shock.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
