Lord Wade frowned as he addressed his daughter, “Cynthia, as a member of the Wade family, why do youck any patience? If you can’t manage this small issue, what else are you capable of?”


    He continued, “Remember, you should avoid any further conflicts with Charlie, especially over trivial matters. Charlie has promised to return for the Ancestor Ceremony during the Spring Festival. This is a positive step towards his reintegration into the Wade family.”


    Frustrated, Cynthia shot back, “Dad! Why do you always defend that worthless Charlie who shows no respect for his elders? He’s just a poor kid who’s been away for years and hasn’t even attended school. What does he bring to the Wade family? You still want him to be part of the Ancestor Ceremony? He’ll just embarrass our family’s legacy!”


    With a cold tone, Lord Wade replied, “Regardless of your opinion, Charlie is still part of the Wade bloodline. He also holds the marriage contract with the Sun girl, which gives him potential value that surpasses anyone else, including you! So, stop causing unnecessary trouble. I expect you to stay in Aurous Hill for seven days without any fuss. It’s ridiculous toin over a simple meal of pork and pickled dumplings!”


    After delivering his words, Lord Wade abruptly hung up the phone.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    On her end, Cynthia felt tears of frustration welling up. The more she thought about it, the more her resentment towards Charlie grew.


    In her mind, all her suffering and her father’s reprimands stemmed from Charlie’s actions.


    Determined, she vowed to herself that she would find a way to make Charlie pay for what he had done!


    This seemed like the perfect opportunity to strike back!


    With a fierce resolve, Cynthia muttered to herself, “Charlie! I, Cynthia, will make sure you learn a painful lesson!”


    Wiping her tears, she opened the door and approached Don Albert’s associate with a remorseful expression. “Sir, I acknowledge that I was reckless earlier, and I sincerely apologize. I hope you can forgive my outburst…”


    As she bowed deeply, the man’s mood visibly softened. “Alright, I’ll overlook it this time due to your respectful attitude,” he replied.


    Cynthia felt a wave of relief wash over her and expressed her gratitude before asking, “Could you please pass a message to your boss for me?”


    ……..


    Later that night, while rxing at a spa hotel, Charlie received a call from Don Albert.


    “Charlie,” Don Albert began, “your aunt asked me to convey a message. She hase to realize her mistakes over the past few days and wants to apologize on her behalf. She hopes you can forgive her for her past immaturity.”


    Charlie responded with indifference, “I find it hard to believe that someone like her would genuinely apologize. She must have some ulterior motive.”


    Don Albert replied, “She expressed a desire for you to allow her to return to Eastcliff early, considering her change in attitude.”


    Charlie scoffed, “Absolutely not! Tell her to stop dreaming. It’s seven days, no less.”


    Don Albert quickly agreed, “Understood, Charlie. I’ll make sure to pass that along.”<fn7033> Official source is find?novel</fn7033>


    “Good,” Charlie instructed. “Once the full seven days are up, she must leave Aurous Hill immediately and never return!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
