Confronted by Mia’s probing questions, Charlie decided to drop the facade. He asked her, “Miss Liu, are you aware that over 20 years ago, your father made a promise to a man named Bruce Wade? He vowed not to trouble another young man named Arman. However, shortly after, Bruce Wade passed away unexpectedly, and your father broke that promise, forcing Arman to hide in Chinatown for more than two decades?”


    Mia’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Charlie, asking, “You… what is your connection to them?”


    Charlie responded calmly, “Bruce Wade is my father, and Arman is my father’s friend.”


    Upon hearing this revtion, Mia felt a rush of emotions; her expression turned incredulous. She choked out, “So when you came to Hong Kong Ind and stayed at our home, it wasn’t to discuss business with my father at all. You were deliberately getting close to our family, waiting for the right moment to exact revenge on him…”


    Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued, “So, from the very first time we met until we parted at noon today, you were just putting on an act, right?”<fnf114> ???? ????s? ???????s ?? FιndＮovel</fnf114><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie was taken aback by the sorrow in Mia’s gaze and quickly rified, “I was acting, but only in front of Liu Jiahui.”


    Mia, now in tears, asked, “Were you acting around me too? If you weren’t, then why hide your true identity and intentions?”


    Charlie nced at Arman beside him and replied, “The reason I concealed my identity was to seek justice for Uncle Arman. You must understand that your father intended to harm him, and if I hadn’te, Uncle Arman might have faced danger the moment he stepped out of this airport!”


    Mia followed Charlie’s gaze and looked at Arman, feeling a wave of shame wash over her.


    She then turned to Arman, bowing her head deeply in apology, “Mr. Arman, I have heard about my father’s intentions to harm you before. Over the years, I’ve tried to persuade him against it. Each time, he dismissed my concerns, iming he didn’t know your whereabouts. I learned today that you returned to Hong Kong Ind, so I rushed over to make it clear to my father and to prevent him from causing you any more trouble.”


    As she spoke, she shot another nce at Charlie, her expression tinged with resentment. “I never expected things to turn out like this…”


    Hearing this, Liu Jiahui immediately broke down in tears. “Mia… Dad truly regrets his actions. You and Mr. Wade must show mercy. If you give me a chance for redemption, I’m willing to pay any price…”


    Mia sighed, looking at Charlie with pleading eyes. “Mr. Wade, I implore you, for the sake of my father’s past missteps, please don’t humiliate him too much…”


    She then nced back at Liu Jiahui, adding, “Although my father has made questionable choices and has a poor reputation, he is aging. I am his daughter and know him well. He may not be a good man, but he isn’t entirely bad either. Compared to truly wicked individuals like Zyaire, he’s just a bit narrow-minded and self-serving. Yet, he has never intended to take anyone’s life. Thanks to you, Mr. Arman, my father didn’tmit a grave mistake this time…”


    Liu Jiahui was taken aback, realizing how his daughter perceived him.
