    Don Albert quickly sped his hands together, asking, “Master Wade, what are your instructions?”


    Charlie smiled and replied, “My aunt still needs to remain in Aurous Hill for a few more days. During this period, I need you to continue to keep a close eye on her. Everything should proceed as it has been.”


    Don Albert quickly inquired, “Master Wade, how many days did you say… how many days do we have?”


    Charlie pondered for a moment before chuckling, “Let’s make it seven days. That gives us a full week to address the situation. If those seven days aren’t enough, it means my aunt is still quite upset, and we may need to provide her with a more substantial remedy.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Don Albert nodded with a smile, saying, “Understood, Master Wade!”<fna619> Find the newest release on FιndNovel</fna619>


    As Charlie contemted, he thought, “Cynthia, who believes she is Wade’s mother and daughter, dares toe to Aurous Hill and act like a queen. And yet, she still shows no remorse. If she remains obstinate, she can’t me my subordinates for being harsh. I truly believe I can resolve this today!”


    Upon hearing Charlie’s words, Cynthia’s face turned pale instantly!


    Her tone shifted, filled with desperation as she pleaded, “Charlie! You can’t do this! I’ve been through so much in the past nine days that I hardly look human anymore. Do you have any idea what I’ve endured during this time? Have you eaten? It doesn’t matter if it’s oil or water; I’ve been without facial cleanser, masks, or even eye cream…”


    “My skin is in terrible shape. It will take at least a month to restore it. If you keep me here for another seven days, it will be the end of my skin…”


    Charlie’s smile faded as he spoke seriously, “My dear aunt, do you still not understand why I want you to stay in Aurous Hill?”


    “I am keeping you here so you can reflect and learn to humble yourself. If you can manage that, I’ll let you go; if not, you’ll stay until you do. That’s the bottom line!”


    “As for the state of your skin, why should that concern me?”


    Cynthia felt immense resentment but maintained a cating demeanor, saying, “Charlie, I’m your aunt. We’re family. How can you treat me this way…”


    Charlie replied with a grin, “Oh, is it only now that you consider me family? Why didn’t you think of me as family when you came from Eastcliff to confront me? When you went to my mother-inw to speak against me, did you consider me family then?”


    Cynthia felt embarrassed and stammered, “I…I was acting in your best interest…”


    Charlie chuckled, “So you were doing everything for my benefit!”


    Cynthia asserted, “Of course! I’m your aunt; if I’m not looking out for you, who else would?”


    Charlie pped his hands and smiled, “What a coincidence, aunt! I’m doing this for your own good right now! You must not disregard my goodwill towards you!”


    With a serious expression, he continued, “Now, I’m giving you two options!”


    “The first option is to stay here honestly for another seven days!”


    “During these seven days, you are not allowed to curse, go on a rampage, or make a fuss!”


    “If you behave yourself, I will allow you to leave after the week!”


    After hearing this, Cynthia quickly asked, “What’s the second choice?”


    Charlie replied coldly, “The second option is to remain here for an entire month! During this month, if you want to curse, go ahead. If you want to act out, feel free. Scream all you like; I’ll assess my mood after a month!”


    “If I’m in a good mood, you can leave straight away. But if I’m in a bad mood, I might have to keep you longer and y the gracious host!”
