Initially, Loreen thought that Charlie’s way of speaking was just barely eptable, but there was always a nagging feeling that something wasn’t quite right.


    However, Charlie’s tendency to make fun of himself quickly dispelled any lingering doubts Loreen had.


    She recalled how, during his school days, Charlie was often looked down upon, even bullied by ssmates who came from simr backgrounds.


    Yet, he seemed unfazed by it all, never engaging in arguments or fights; it was as if he lived in his own world, untouched by the opinions of others.


    Given Charlie’s nature, it seemed unlikely that he would discuss Stefanie with anyone, and even if he did, who would believe him? This thought made Loreen admire him a little more.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He knew the Sun family and was familiar with Ms. Sun’s siblings, yet he kept this knowledge to himself, choosing to endure scorn rather than exploit their connection. Such humility was indeed rare.


    Still, a slight worry lingered in her mind.


    Earlier, she had noticed the close interaction between Charlie and Stefanie, which left her feeling that something unusual was brewing between them.<fn51ee> Official source is find?novel</fn51ee>


    Curious, she cautiously asked Charlie, “How did you reconnect with Miss Sun?”


    Charlie smiled and replied, “Are you familiar with Nova Dias?”


    “Yes,” Loreen nodded, “Isn’t that the incredibly popr gastric medicine that works wonders? Oh, and I think Miss Sun is its spokesperson!”


    Charlie continued, “Do you know that Oracle Nova Dias, the manufacturer, is based in Aurous Hill?”


    Loreen nodded again, “Yes, I’m aware.”


    Charlie then exined, “When Stefanie came to Aurous Hill to film amercial recently, she had dinner with ire and me. Since Stefanie is a public figure, I didn’t mention it to you.”


    “Oh, I see…” Loreen said, her understanding dawning. She then asked, “Did ire know that you and Stefanie were acquainted back then?”


    Charlie shook his head. “Actually, I didn’t tell ire the whole truth at that time. Stefanie was focused on her work, and I didn’t want my past with her to be public knowledge, as it mightplicate things for her. So, I kept it to myself. Honestly, if I hadn’t run into you today, I wouldn’t have shared this.”


    Loreen nodded thoughtfully, and feeling a twinge of sympathy for Charlie, she said, “Charlie, you don’t always have to downy yourself. You’re really impressive—few canpare to you!”


    Her words were sincere.


    Loreen truly believed that Charlie was extraordinary. His strength alone set him apart from ordinary people; after all, The Butcher Brothers had posed no threat to him.


    Given Charlie’s remarkablebat skills, those who once insulted him were hardly his equals, yet he seemed to brush off their remarks without a second thought.


    Meanwhile, Stefanie had remained silent, aware that her earlierment could have caused Charlie trouble. Thankfully, Charlie’s quick thinking had averted any potential awkwardness.
