Cain’s mockery was both unexpected and shocking.
His insults not only targeted Charlie but also those who hade to pay their respects to him.
Albert could hardly contain his fury when Cain, out of the blue, hurled a senseless insult at Charlie. With a fierce re, he shouted, “Cain Lloyd, do you have a death wish? Do you want me to carve words into your forehead just like I did to your son?!”
Charlie immediately understood the source of Cain’s mockery as soon as he saw the outraged expression on Cain’s face.
This man was Marcus Lloyd’s father.<fnec0e> The source of th?s content is F?nd-Novel</fnec0e><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Marcus, the wealthy young man known for his catchphrase “pathetic jerk,” had been the one who provoked Charlie at the Champs Elys Resort, leading to a humiliating oue—Albert had carved the words “pathetic jerk” on Marcus’s forehead at Charlie’s behest.
Charlie never anticipated encountering the young man’s father at the Moore family’s banquet, let alone being insulted by him.
Cain shot a re back at Albert and retorted, “Albert Rhodes, don’t get so cocky! Do you really think I’m afraid of you?!”
Then, with venom in his voice, he pointed at Charlie and eximed, “I don’t get it! Why is a deadbeat loser like you, who survives by leeching off your wife and inws, even here? And why are all these people calling you ‘Master Wade’? Are they all blind to see what a loser you are?”
His crude remarks ignited anger in the crowd, who were ready to confront Cain, but Charlie intervened, saying calmly, “Everyone, today is Lord Moore’s birthday. Let’s not do anything foolish that could ruin this asion.”
Turning to Cain with a smile, Charlie remarked, “I was curious about what kind of idiot raised someone as arrogant as Marcus, and now that I see you, it all makes sense.”
After a brief pause, Charlie added, “You should take a lesson from what happened to your son. My advice? Keep a low profile and tone down that arrogance. The skin on your forehead is so wrinkled that if we wanted to carve words into it, it wouldn’t be as smooth as what we did on your son’s forehead.”
Cain, indignant, shot back, “Hey, listen, don’t think I won’t give you a chance to live. Kneel before me right now and let me carve ‘pathetic jerk’ into your forehead, and I’ll let you go. Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
Charlie smirked in disdain. “What makes you think you could actually kill me?”
“You think you’re so powerful just because you have Albert, that garbage thug, at your side. But I have the Webb family backing me up. Albert is a nobody, and I can crush him like an ant, let alone a loser like you,” Cain sneered.
Albert’s face flushed with rage, and he moved forward, but Charlie stopped him, smiling. “Cain, your master is quite a coward. It’s fine for them to let their dogs run wild, but shouldn’t they be present? What if the dog ends up getting beaten to death?”
Cain scoffed, “Charlie Wade, don’t think I don’t know who you are. You’re just a scammer fooling these people with your so-called mystical tricks. They’re oblivious now, but when they wake up, I won’t need to lift a finger because they’ll turn on you themselves!”
He then turned to Jasmine, speaking seriously, “Miss Moore, you’re recognized as a powerful and captivating entrepreneur in Aurous Hill. How could you be deceived by a loser like him? Besides, he’s married! He lives with his wife’s family! Associating with him will ruin your reputation. If it spreads that the topdy in Aurous Hill has fallen for a married loser, it will be a scandal!”
Jasmine’s face contorted in disdain.
Yes, she liked Charlie, and he was indeed married, but so what? Was it wrong to have genuine feelings for someone?
Moreover, who was Cain Lloyd toment on her choices, even if she had made a mistake?
However, Jasmine knew she needed to remainposed in the face of Cain’s usations. If she reacted angrily, people might think it was out of shame and that Cain’s words held truth.
Instead, Jasmine adopted a stern expression and rebuked him, “Cain Lloyd, right? We don’t have you on our guest list. Who let you in?”
