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
“Brother, did you invite him?”Everyone stared at Jerquis.“I’ve heard about the reputation of Goodfood Company, but I don’t know their boss,” Jerquis looked confused.“For Grandpa’s honor, Brother, you should go and greet him,” Randi said.“Yes, definitely!” Jerquis agreed immediately.Randi nodded. Outside the main hall.“Boss Connor, you must be tired from coming all this way!” Jerquis greeted Connor with a smile.“Who are you?” Connor glanced at Jerquis, then walked right past him and quickly headed towards Charlie.“Mr. Charlie, I heard it’s your grandfather’s 80th birthday today. I came here to congratulate him!” Connor said as he bowed respectfully to Charlie.This scene left the entire Whitford family in complete shock.None of them had expected that Connor from Goodfood Company had come because of Charlie’s invitation!More importantly, Connor bowed respectfully to Charlie! “Thank you, Boss Connor. My grandfather is in the main hall,” Charlie said calmly.“I’ll go wish him
Outside the main hall.Dasante and Rahil, along with the other bosses, walked towards Charlie. The grandchildren sitting next to Charlie trembled in fear and anxiety as they saw this group of powerful people approaching Charlie.“Mr. Charlie!” Dasante and all the bosses greeted Charlie.At that moment, the place fell into a sudden silence.Everyone present stared at Charlie, greeted by Dasante, with expressions of shock, fear, and despair.They couldn’t imagine just how powerful Charlie must be to command the respect of the entire business world of San Setillo city!“Hello, Mr. Dasante.”Charlie responded casually. He looked as if he was greeting an ordinary friend. His face and body remained calm, as if he was used to situations like this.Seeing Charlie like this, Nythor was confused!“Mr. Charlie, I purposely brought everyone here to celebrate your grandfather’s birthday,” Dasante said with a smile.After speaking, Dasante led the others into the main hall.Charlie turned to look
