With that, Charlie’s demeanor shifted to seriousness as he dered, “This ends today’s discussion. If I find out that you’ve dared to act behind my back, don’t expect me to treat you kindly!”


    Cynthia gazed at Charlie, wanting to voice her support, but the words caught in her throat, unable to fully materialize.


    She couldn’t help but notice how much Charlie resembled his father, her second brother, Bruce.


    What made Bruce so renowned in his time? He appeared to be a frail schr, yet he stood resolutely in front of the army. Once hemitted to a course of action, he never wavered or failed. Even when faced with insurmountable odds, he forged his own path.


    This led to a saying in Eastcliff’s elite circles: “With a son from the Wade family, you can’t hold back a tiger!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Even his adversaries respected Bruce, secretly admiring his tenacity. He was, without a doubt, the brightest star in the Wade family’s constetion.


    In that moment, Cynthia recognized the same formidable aura emanating from Charlie. A sense of reverence filled her heart as she realized she could no longer afford to offend this nephew she hadn’t seen in years. The thought of him possibly severing familial ties sent a chill down her spine.<fnfb9b> Original content can be found at Find~Novel</fnfb9b>


    Thus, she swallowed her pride, reluctantly conceding, “Charlie, I will abide by your wishes today. I won’t pursue any issues with your mother-inw or Donald…”


    As she spoke, her tone turned almost pleading, “But you can’t continue to shield the father and son who have wronged me, can you? Auntie has endured so much today, and you must understand…”


    With those words, memories of her miserable day flooded her mind, bringing tears to her eyes.


    Today had truly been a harrowing experience for her.


    She had intended to enlist ine’s help to assert her power, hoping to win her over, but instead, she found herself at ine’s mercy.


    Then came Harold, along with Christopher and his son, who brought her to this very ce.


    To make matters worse, Donald arrived and assaulted her, nearly causing her to lose control and wet herself…


    Cynthia had never faced such hardships before, but today she experienced the harsh realities of life.


    What infuriated her further was that she had never shed with ine before, only to be humiliated by her. The desire for revenge simmered within her, but as Charlie’s mother-inw, she found herself unable to retaliate.


    Now, with Donald willing to sacrifice most of his family’s wealth to be Charlie’s subordinate, her options for retaliation against the Wilson family appeared limited.


    Charlie furrowed his brow upon hearing this and turned to Don Albert, asking, “What’s the current status of Christopher and Harold?”


    Don Albert replied, “Those two have had their arms and legs broken by Donald’s men. They’re no longer a threat. Master Wade will decide how to proceed with them!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
