Despite still being the former Christopher, he knew he stood no chance against Charlie.
He couldn’t quite grasp when or how Charlie had honed his skills in martial arts to the point where he could easily take down the Wilson family’s formidable bodyguards. There was no way Christopher could handle a confrontation with Charlie!
Feeling defeated, Christopher suppressed his anger and spoke softly, “Jacob, I apologize for my rudeness earlier. I really need to speak with ine about something important. Could you please arrange it?”<fn1fdb> For more chapters visit find~novel</fn1fdb>
Jacob was overjoyed at this moment. He felt an urge to embrace his beloved son-inw and shower him with affection!
After being frustrated by Christopher’s earlier provocations, Jacob had found immense satisfaction when Charlie pped him. It was a sight to behold!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
With a secret smile of joy, Jacob adopted a serious expression and asked, “Brother, didn’t you and Hannah want to check out a vi a couple of days ago?”
“How did you know that?” Christopher replied, his suspicion evident.
“ine mentioned it. She was at a friend’s house ying mahjong when you and Hannah went to look at the property,” Jacob exined.
Christopher nodded in acknowledgment. “Yes, that’s true, but what does that have to do with today?”
Meanwhile, Lady Wilson frowned in confusion and asked, “Chris, what’s happening? Are you nning to buy a house? When? Why haven’t I heard anything about this?”
Christopher was taken aback and sighed deeply, realizing that in his anxious state he had forgotten to keep this a secret from his mother.
Noticing Lady Wilson’s displeased expression, he took a calming breath and replied patiently, “Mom, Hannah and I are concerned about being left without a ce to stay after the vi is taken, so we were just exploring our options…”
“That’s nonsense!” Lady Wilson eximed. “You think my house will be seized because you refuse to contribute financially to the family? You’re so miserly when ites to helping thepany, and now you’re house-hunting behind my back?!”
Christopher felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him. He knew it would take a while to calm his mother’s fury…
In frustration, Lady Wilson pped him and shouted, “You ungrateful child! You trust an outsider over your own mother! Fantastic job, now your fifteen million is wasted! You’re leading us straight to ruin, you fool!”
Jacob felt a pang of bitterness as he realized Christopher had fifteen million at his disposal. Once part of the family, he had only managed to save one million, whichter grew to two million through trading antiques and ire’s help.
Seeing Christopher’s wealth made Jacob feel a bit envious. “So that’s it! Brother, you transferred all that money to Hannah, didn’t you?”
Christopher replied indignantly, “That’s none of your business!”
Jacob sighed and said, “Brother, you’ve given Hannah a fortune. Even if she remains loyal to you, there are plenty of young men out there who would love totch onto a wealthy woman for support, treating her like their lifeline!”
“What do you mean by that?” Christopher asked, frowning with irritation.
Feigning surprise, Jacob responded, “Haven’t you seen all those real-life stories online? There are countless simr situations! Young men often target rich older women like Hannah, charming them with their youthful appeal. Before you know it, they might say something like, ‘I don’t want to work anymore,’ and those women would be ready to shower them with gifts—cars, houses, or even run away with them!”
Shaking his head regretfully, Jacob continued, “Fifteen million, Chris—fifteen million! Just imagine how many young men might be circling around Hannah, like bees to a flower! I worry she might struggle to make the right choice!”
