As soon as the other party heard his words, he quickly responded, “Vi C11 at Thompson First. Make sure to bring your house deed with you. If you think about calling the police, I’ll kill your mother-inw right away!”


    Charlie replied without hesitation, “Okay, I’ll head there right away.”


    After ending the call, Charlie returned to the private room and told Jacob, “Dad, I need to step out for a bit. You can keep enjoying yourself here with your friends. Just let the waitress know if you need anything; it’s all on Albert’s tab.”


    “Alright,” Jacob nodded and gave Charlie a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “My dear son-inw, thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me today. Without your help, I would have felt so embarrassed and lost a lot of face.”


    Charlie smiled gently and replied, “Dad, I’ve realized today that it hasn’t been easy for you all these years. As your son-inw, it’s only natural for me to help you regain some face and respect!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Jacob felt a wave of emotion wash over him as he nodded appreciatively.


    Charlie chose not to say anything more; he simply stood up and exited the room.


    Instead of going home to grab his house deed, he hailed a cab and directed the driver straight to the vi at Thompson First.


    On his way there, he immediately called Albert.


    As soon as Albert picked up, he said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, how can I assist you?”


    Charlie quickly exined, “I need your men toe to Thompson First. My mother-inw has lost over sixty million dors in a mahjong game, and she’s being held hostage. Something isn’t right here, and I need you to apany me to sort this out.”


    Albert’s anger red at Charlie’s words.


    How dare someone set a trap for Charlie’s mother-inw in Aurous Hill?


    This was a clear invitation to disaster!


    “Mr. Wade, I’ll gather my men and take care of that scoundrel right away!” Albert vowed.


    Before long, Charlie arrived at the vi where his mother-inw was being held.


    He knocked on the front door, and as he entered, he was met with a sight that made his heart sink. About a dozen gangsters were surrounding his disheveled mother-inw in the living room. Her face was bruised and swollen from the beating, and she looked utterly defeated.


    Charlie noticed two unfamiliar middle-aged women in the vi, and to his surprise, Hannah was among them.


    Taken aback, Charlie wondered why Hannah was there.


    Hannah felt a pang of guilt upon seeing him but quicklyposed herself.


    She rationalized that it wasn’t her fault ine lost money to Linda; after all, she hadn’t forced ine to y. She was merely a spectator, so what could Charlie possibly do to her?


    When ine spotted Charlie walking in, she broke down in tears, eximing, “Charlie, my dear son-inw! Why did it take you so long? I was so worried!”


    Charlie looked at her and asked, “Mom, how did you end up losing more than sixty million dors ying mahjong?”


    “I don’t know how I got so unlucky!” ine cried. “Your aunt invited me to join her and her friends for a few games, and I thought it would be fun. I didn’t expect to lose so much money! They even forced me to mortgage your vi at Thompson First just to continue ying. I had no choice…”


    ine’s anger red as she added, “I suspect they’re all working together to cheat me!”


    Charlie scoffed and replied, “You don’t need to suspect anything. They’re clearly trying to con you.”


    Linda piped up, “Hey! Don’t talk nonsense! Everyone agreed to y mahjong willingly. If your mother-inw has bad luck, that’s on her!”


    Hudson quickly interjected, “Second Aunt, why waste your breath on him? Let me handle this!”


    He red at Charlie and demanded, “Hand over your house deed now! I also want a voluntary transfer statement! If you don’tply, neither you nor your mother-inw will leave this vi today!”


    “Oh,” Charlie responded nonchntly. “I didn’t bring my house deed with me.”<fnb95a> The source of th?s content is FιndＮovel</fnb95a>


    ine’s anxiety spiked as she lost herposure. Her expression shifted to one of fury as she eximed, “Charlie! Are you trying to get me killed? Didn’t I tell you to bring the house deed to save me? Are you deaf?”


    Charlie replied calmly, “I’m sorry, Mom. I promised ire I’d move into the vi with her next month after the renovations are done. I can’t break that promise.”


    ine cursed, “So you’d rather keep your promise to ire than save my life? I’ll be done for if you don’t hand over the vi!”


    Charlie assured her, “You won’t die so easily with me here.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
