In a hushed tone, someone remarked, “Fitz, you’re just a disappointment! You’ve submitted for six months, and now you don’t even want to deal with Charlie? That’s fine, but as a member of the Banks family, why are you acting like such a coward?”


    The anger in Lord Banks simmered beneath the surface, leaving him feeling a bit suffocated, and his expression was far from pleasant.


    Meanwhile, Charlie, sitting not too far away, inquired, “Master Banks, you seem a bit off today. Is everything alright?”
