Caesar was fully aware that Charlie had sent Lloyd to KTV as a form of punishment, designating him as the “tortoise.” If he were to assist Lloyd openly, it would be akin to confronting Charlie directly, something he certainlycked the courage to do.


    Thus, Caesar contemted a more discreet approach to looking out for Lloyd. He decided that his help should be subtle and limited. For instance, if he encountered Lloyd in the KTV bathroom and saw him handing out tissues at the door, he could choose to give him a little more than usual: if he typically offered five dors, he might consider giving ten; if he usually gave ten, he could opt for twenty. However, he knew that if Charlie noticed that he was significantly increasing Lloyd’s earnings, it could lead to trouble for him once again.


    Charlie had already discussed the operational direction of the etiquettepany with Wendy. He instructed Caesar, saying, “Caesar, take Wendy and Lloyd to handle thepany transfer this afternoon. Ensure that Lloyd and Teresa Fay move the funds to thepany ount.”


    Caesar quickly nodded, assuring, “Master Wade, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it!”


    Charlie nodded back, his tone growing serious as he warned Caesar, “I won’t address today’s incident now, but in the future, you must be more cautious. Don’t presume you’re untouchable in Aurous Hill and help others with reckless abandon. If I find out you continue this kind of interference, I’ll ensure you share Lloyd’s fate as the ‘dear tortoise,’ do you understand?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Caesar shivered at the threat and replied, “Master Wade, I assure you, if I ever do something like this again, I will face the consequences!”


    Charlie scoffed, adding, “In the underground world, one must tread carefully. There are far too many legitimate ways to earn money in bars, KTVs, and nightclubs. Don’t exploit the market or take advantage of people; otherwise, I’ll have to involve Don Albert!”


    Caesar quickly bowed and responded, “Master Wade, your guidance is invaluable; I will remember it!”


    Disregarding him, Charlie turned to Wendy, instructing, “Wendy, follow through with thepany takeover as nned. Perform your duties well, and don’t let me down!”<fn0f42> For original chapters go to fι?dnοvel</fn0f42>


    Wendy, overwhelmed with emotion, replied, “Good brother-inw, I will give it my all…”


    Charlie nodded, “Alright, execute everything properly. I’ll check in on the situation in a few days. I’m heading out now.”


    Wendy expressed her gratitude, saying, “Brother-inw, take care…”


    Caesar also stepped forward, bowing, “Master Wade, take care!” As Charlie prepared to leave, he remembered something in the back of the car: he pulled out a cloth bag he used for shopping and retrieved a brand new, unopened Apple phone.


    He handed the phone to Wendy, exining, “This mobile phone is for you. In today’s world, it’s nearly impossible to manage many tasks without one. Since you are about to be the boss of thepany, you’ll need it tomunicate with your business contacts and your team.”


    Wendy was utterly astonished that Charlie had even thought to buy her a phone; she felt deeply touched by his generosity.


    “Earlier today, I just wanted to help when I saw you being bullied; that was a chance encounter…” she reflected. “But this phone is such a thoughtful gift! He knew I didn’t have one and wanted to provide for me!”


    At that moment, Wendy felt a surge of gratitude that words could hardly express.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
