Can you believe it? A man over fifty, with a family and a home, is expected to marry Mr. Ward’s daughter?!


    Charlie’s words ignited an explosion of anger in the room.


    Grant Ward was furious, shouting, “Are you out of your mind? How dare you suggest my precious daughter marry Steve’s father?!”


    With augh, Charlie replied, “Surely you must be blind. Didn’t you notice that Steve has no interest in marrying your daughter? Meanwhile, Steve’s parents are eager to bring your daughter into their family. So, wouldn’t it be wiser to let Mr. Carson marry your beloved daughter?”


    “You little brat! What nonsense are you spewing?” Leann fumed. “Letting my husband marry Mr. Ward’s daughter… and what happens to me?!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie shot back, “You? I thought you wanted Mr. Ward’s daughter as part of your family. Doesn’t this resolve your issue? You should thank me for this suggestion.”


    Turning to David, Charlie smiled brightly. “Old man Carson, after all these years with that dreadful old hag, don’t you think it’s time for a change? You’re lucky I’m making this decision for you. Not only do you get a younger wife, but you also stand to gain fifty million dors and a new son! What a deal!”


    “Shut your mouth!” Leann screeched, pointing at Charlie. “You little brat! You’re just asking for trouble! Mark my words, I’ll bring my people and break both your legs!”<fnf8e3> Original content can be found at find?novel</fnf8e3>


    After venting her frustration, she turned to Mr. Ward, her voice trembling with urgency. “Mr. Ward, this troublemaker is trying to stir up chaos. My husband may be old and unattractive, but your daughter is still young and beautiful. No matter what he says, my husband can’tpare to your daughter!”


    Grant Ward was seething. He raised his voice, gritting his teeth. “You’ve got guts, kid. I didn’t expect you to provoke me like this. Do you even know who I am?!”


    Charlie retorted, “I don’t care who you are. All I know is that you’re about to be David’s future father-inw.”


    “You…” Mr. Ward trembled with rage.


    He was very protective of his daughter’s reputation. That was precisely why he was willing to pay any price to marry her off to someone willing to join the Ward family. He never expected this Charlie character toe up with such ridiculous ideas about marrying his daughter to David Carson, a man close to Mr. Ward’s age. How could he face anyone if that actually happened?!


    Mr. Ward snapped, “Kneel and beg for my forgiveness, or I will make you regret being alive.”


    “Oh really, Mr. Ward has the nerve to say that?” Charlie sneered. “Okay, let’s see what you can do. If you can’t make me eat my words, then I’ll make you eat yours!”


    Leann felt a mix of embarrassment and fury. She immediately shot back at Charlie, “What did you eat to be so foolishly brave?! How dare you speak to Mr. Ward like that! My people will beat you to a pulp!”


    Charlie looked around and realized that most of the onlookers were elderly or ordinary folks. The thought that they could harm him wasughable!


    He knew he had to be cautious with his powers if a confrontation arose. He certainly didn’t want to identally hurt anyone—it wouldn’t end well. Besides, this was a trivial matter; there was no need for violence.


    Charlie then taunted Leann further. “Old hag, are you really that clueless? You’re fighting Mr. Ward’s battles? Just so you know, your husband is about to be Mr. Ward’s son-inw. Once that happens, you’ll be out of the Carson family. In terms of rtionships, Mr. Ward will be your love rival’s father! Shouldn’t you be directing your anger at him instead?”
