“Charlie, do you only have the ability to intimidate the security guard here? He said you’re a stray child; is that wrong? Look at how tattered your clothes are! It’s so far from the honor that the Whitford family possesses!” Darren sneered.The two cousins beside him covered their mouths and laughed quietly.“Are you two daring to laugh at me?” Charlie glared at both of them. “So what? You’ve been kicked out of the Whitford family, right? We should be the ones saying that. Do you still have the face to mock us? Are you qualified to laugh at us?” Micah scoffed.“That’s right!” Owen chimed in.Darren scoffed and continued, “Charlie, you clearly arrogantly refused yesterday. You have the guts to come here. Seeing your arrival now, I’m sure you must have come to try to gain some advantage, right?”Immediately after that, Darren turned around and waved his hand.“Come on, let’s go inside. There’s no point in wasting our energy arguing with this kid. It’s pointless.”After that, Darren l
“Ariella, I heard you just got your master’s degree from Artemis Business School, is that true?” Charlie looked at Ariella with enthusiasm.“Hmm.” Ariella nodded.“Ariella, you’re the best among the young generation of the Whitford family,” Charlie said, smiling with pride.Artemis Business School is one of the best universities in the world!It’s also known as a “factory” that trains entrepreneurs, supervisors, and general managers. Graduating from this university means that a person is sure to have a very bright future in business!Ariella being able to graduate from there shows that she must have incredible business skills!“Charlie, hurry up and graduate. After you graduate, how about you work at my company? I’ll definitely give you a job and a salary that’s far beyond enough,” Ariella said with a smile.Charlie knew very well that Ariella was doing this because she wanted to help him with his job situation.“Ariella, have you started your own company?” Charlie asked in surprise
After Charlie entered the door, an old man with a head full of gray hair caught his attention. Although the man was old, he still appeared firm and authoritative. He was Charlie’s grandfather, Nythor Whitford. Perhaps due to their lineage, Charlie felt an inexplicable resemblance after seeing his grandfather.“Charlie, come here, sit down,” Nythor waved his hand, calling for his grandson.“No need, Grandpa. If there’s something I need to do, just tell me,” Charlie stood tall.Upon hearing Charlie’s words, Nythor, who was reading a newspaper, had no choice but to set the newspaper down and lift his head. When Nythor looked at Charlie, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes. Nythor had been through countless ups and downs in life. His eyes naturally held a broad insight about anything.The last time Nythor saw Charlie was several years ago when Charlie’s mother brought him to borrow money. At that time, Charlie appeared to be a humble, timid, weak man...Now, when Nythor saw Charlie aga
At that moment, everyone’s eyes were on Charlie.“Charlie, hurry up and take it,” Ariella whispered with a smile.Charlie glanced at the card in front of him, then stood up and calmly said, “Grandpa, I acknowledge your wish, but I will not accept the money you’ve offered. Moreover, I’m not interested in a position at the company.”Wow!As soon as Charlie said this, the entire table erupted in chaos.Everyone stared at Charlie in disbelief.“What? For such a generous gift, this kid is actually saying he doesn’t want it?”No one expected Charlie to refuse the gift graciously given by Nythor. Everyone present knew very well that Charlie’s family was very poor. They even came to the Whitford family to ask for money for Charlie’s school fees.Darren immediately stood up, pointed at Charlie, and said sharply, “Charlie, you really have no self-awareness, do you? All the other children and grandchildren of the Whitford family had to struggle to get into the company. Now Grandpa is offering yo
“My brother is amazing!” Darren proudly boasted about Drake in front of everyone. A smile appeared on Drake’s face; he naturally enjoyed the cheers from everyone.“Alright, everyone, get in the car. I’ll drive ahead and lead the way,” Drake said. Then, Drake looked at Charlie, “Charlie, do you have a car?”All members of the Whitford family drove expensive cars, at least an Audi. Darren drove a Maserati, and Drake drove a red Ferrari. “Charlie, you just belittled the Whitford family’s company. That means you’re great and rich, right? Your car must be better than ours, right?” Darren sneered. “In terms of price, my car is indeed more expensive than yours,” Charlie said casually. “Really? Where is it? Bring it out and let us see!” Darren said mockingly. “My car isn’t here right now,” Charlie said. Charlie had come in a Lamborghini, but Dario was using his car at the moment. “Not here? Haha, your lie is absolutely ridiculous. Do you think we’re stupid enough to believe that
Coach couldn’t stand it any longer. He thought Charlie had become too arrogant, so he said, “Mr. Charlie, typically, for someone who has never held a firearm, it’s very difficult to control the first shot. Besides, we’re using real guns here, not toy guns. And Mr. Drake is a skilled sniper. Compared to him, you...”Although the coach didn’t finish his sentence, the meaning was clear.“Charlie, don’t even think about challenging him. He’s a member here, and you’ve never handled a real gun before,” Ariella pulled Charlie, trying to prevent him from making a scene.“I think I might be a bit better than him,” Charlie replied with a smile. He wasn’t offended at all by the coach’s words.“A bit better than me? Haha, since you’re so insistent on challenging me, wouldn’t it be shameful if I didn’t accept?” Drake said with a scornful grin.Drake had been waiting for an opportunity to teach Charlie a lesson, but he didn’t expect the man to initiate his own downfall.The commotion between the tw
“You... how could you be so amazing?!” Drake’s face instantly turned pale, and his voice sounded very sharp.“You’re the one who’s worthless. Honestly, comparing my abilities to yours is a real insult,” Charlie replied indifferently.“You...”Drake’s facial muscles suddenly twitched; his expression was very gloomy.“Because I won, don’t forget the stakes. I think you’re really good, Drake. Don’t break your promise. Thanks for the Ferrari.” Charlie extended his hand.Drake could only grit his teeth and pull out the keys to his Ferrari. At this moment, the man was utterly furious and ashamed! His Ferrari had vanished just like that! Drake’s arrogance and confidence burst like a bubble! Before he dared to pull out the Ferrari for a bet, Drake had thought he would definitely win against Charlie. So, he wasn’t too afraid of losing his Ferrari.“I will never break my promise! Here, take it!” Drake immediately threw the car keys to Charlie.After all, there were so many spectators around;
Darius felt that he might be able to approach Ornell through Charlie; this was very important! “Mr. Darius, he left five minutes ago,” said the manager. In the evening, at the Whitford Family villa. The Whitford family villa was brightly lit at that moment.Everyone sat in their respective chairs.“Drake, Grandpa heard you went to a shooting club with real guns today; how was your game?” asked Nythor.“Grandpa, I have something to report to you today.” Drake stood with a serious expression.“Oh? What’s the matter?” Nythor asked, looking curious.“Actually, every Sunday, I always go to the club to practice shooting. The goal is to strengthen the Whitford family’s relationship with Darius. You know that, right?” said Drake.“Good!”Nythor and the elders present all nodded.“But...”Drake suddenly pointed at Charlie and said harshly, “He ruined everything! Darius deliberately wanted to get to know him because he’s very skilled at shooting, but he arrogantly ignored Darius and made hi
