At that moment, Charlie received a text from Jasmine: [Master Wade, I hope you don’t take what happened earlier to heart. With the Moore family present, the Webb family won’t act too presumptuously.]


    Charlie smiled as he typed back: [Not at all, I don’t mind. They’re just a bunch of circus clowns.]


    Across the room, Donald and Sean were seated in the VIP section, observing the scene.


    Sean nced between Jasmine and Charlie, noticing that both were engrossed in their phones. Whenever Jasmine put her phone down, Sean would pick his up, and vice versa. It was clear they were exchanging messages.


    Watching this back-and-forth filled Sean with frustration. He had added Jasmine on Facebook, but she had set her profile to private! <h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    In fact, she seldom replied to his messages. Yet, right now, as he watched her interact with Charlie, she seemed incredibly engaged, almost as if she were anxious not to miss a single message from him. She even wore a sweet smile while looking at her phone.


    Sean, who considered himself quite experienced in matters of the heart, recognized that Jasmine was undeniably falling for Charlie.


    As he red at the two of them, an intense fury began to bubble within him.


    Leaning against his father, he whispered, “Dad, I want Charlie dead! Tonight!”


    Donald sighed at Sean’s agitated tone and shook his head. “Do you know what disappoints me most about you?”


    Sean shook his head, confused.


    Donald sighed again and replied, “You’re too impulsive and hasty. You need to prioritize better.”


    He continued, “Charlie is just a nobody without any connections; we can deal with him anytime. Don’t jeopardize our rtionship with the Moore family over this. The priority is to win Jasmine’s heart!”


    Though still annoyed, Sean nodded reluctantly. “I understand. I’ll wait two more days, then I’ll arrange for someone to take care of him!”


    “Take a step back and observe him first. While Charlie might seem insignificant, he has several allies in the city. Not only the Quinton family, the White family, and Don Albert, but even the Moore family backs him. He could be a significant problem for us.”


    “What’s our n?”


    “We need to devise a foolproof strategy if we want to eliminate him!”


    Donald borated, “Even though Albert is just a thug, hemands a lot of men. If we provoke him, he could summon a small army in no time. Killing Charlie could lead to retaliation, and if that happens, we might not escape Aurous Hill alive.”


    “Albert?” Sean frowned and eximed, “Let’s take him out first, then!”


    Donald nodded in agreement. “Exactly. We’ll catch Albert off guard and eliminate him before he realizes what’s happening. Then, we can assist Cain Lloyd in taking over his position and be the new rulers of the underworld!”


    A sinister glint appeared in Donald’s eyes. “Once we establish a solid power base in Aurous Hill, getting rid of Charlie and those insignificant families will be a walk in the park!”


    Sean felt a surge of excitement as he listened to his father’s scheme and blurted out, “So, Dad, when do we go after Albert? I can’t stand him any longer!”


    “Calm down. I’ve got a n in ce. My men will send Albert across the Rainbow Bridge tonight!”<fn46fd> For more chapters visit f?ndnovel</fn46fd>
