Chapter 1597
After that, the birthday banquet officially began. 7
Charlie was enshrined as a most distinguished guest and he sat beside Lady Thomas with Loreen
and Wrigley.
After that, the Thomas family members took turns to offer him a toast. Their expression, tone, and
actions were all full ofpliments and ttery.
Charlie did not have much to say. When someone came to offer him a toast, he would simply drink
in return. He also drank readily even when it was Dn who came to offer him a toast.
At this time, Wrigley also cautiously offered Charlie a toast as he ttered him and said, "Mr. Wade,
there is something that I would like to ask of you..."
Charlie already knew what he wanted to ask him even before he started speaking. He obviously
wanted him t o restore his ability and make him potent again.
However, in view of all the bad things that their family of four had done towards Yule’s family of
three, Charlie was certain that he would never allow them to recover right now.
An adult would have to pay the price and consequence for their own actions. Otherwise, how much
they possibly learn their own lesson then? s
So, he did not wait for Wrigley to finish speaking and h e interrupted him lightly, "Wrigley, you have
witnessed this incident today from the beginning to the end. You should also understand why I
asked Dn to go to Aurous Hill to undergo a selfreformation for a year, right?”
"Yes! Yes!" Wrigley nodded repeatedly and said, "Mr. Wade, it is because you are upright and fair.
Therefore, I naturally have the utmost trust in you. However, for this matter...can you at least give us
a timeline as you did with Dn? Why don''t you set a timeframe for us s o that we can look forward
to it and feel hopeful too? What do you think of that?"
Charlie nodded before he said, "You should also know that Dn did not do anything evil or
outrageous. He simply speaks without thinking. That is the reason why I asked Dn to undergo a
self-reformation for a year. However, the four of you were too much. The four of you were even
using someone''s life to threaten your uncle before this. So, inparison, the nature o f your acts
is much worsepared to Dn!"
Wrigley’s face was covered in cold sweat.
He knew what Charlie meant.
Dn simply shot his mouth off in front of him and h e had to undergo a self-reformation for one
year.
On the other hand, his father, third uncle, cousin, and himself tried to force his uncle to hand over
trillions o f dors’ worth of assets to them and they even threatened to deal with and take the lives
of his aunt and cousin sister after Yule''s death. They had reallymitted a much greater sin
compared to Dn. 9
Moreover, his eldest uncle was Charlie’s father, Curtis''s good brother and his aunt was Charlie''s
mother''s good sister. His cousin was also Charlie''s fiancee ever since they had a marriage contract
when they were still young. Since Charlie had such a close rtionship with his eldest uncle''s
family, then he would certainly hate the four of them even more! 4
If Dn had to undergo a self-reformation for a year just for shooting his mouth off, then wouldn''t
the four of them have to undergo a self-reformation for ten to twenty years then? 7This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
Wrigley felt like dying when he thought about the fact that he would not be able to enjoy that aspect
of life or have any children at all in the next ten to twenty years. 4
So, Wrigley had a bitter and miserable look on his face as he pleaded, "Mr. Wade, please forgive us
this time o n ount of my eldest uncle...or perhaps, you can shorten the time for our self-
reformation..." 3
Charlie replied lightly, "It depends on all of your performances then. If all of you perform well, then I
will help you to recover in three to five years.
However, if all of you perform badly, then it might take you twenty to thirty years then." i
Wrigley felt as though he was about to burst into tears and he said in a low voice, "Mr. Wade, you
will be my brother-inw in future. Why don''t you forgive me and let me off on ount of this
rtionship then? If news gets out to the public that your brother-inw is impotent, wouldn''t you
lose face too? Don''t you agree with me?”
Charlie smiled as he said, "I think that it''s fine. There''s no reason for me to lose any face at all..." s
"Oh..." Wrigley felt as though he was about to copse.
Charlie was really very stubborn and difficult to deal with!
Wrigley was initially nning to rely on his rtionship with his cousin to get him to change his
mind. Unexpectedly, Charlie was not willing to give him any chance at all. i
Moreover, even if he were to perform well, it would still take him three to five years before Charlie
would heal him. Three to five years of abstinence. Wouldn''t that be equivalent to killing him? 3
However, three was no other way out of this. So, Wrigley could only have a thick skin as he said
respectfully, "Brother-inw, I will make sure that I perform well in future. Don’t worry." i
Charlie replied angrily, "Don''t talk nonsense. I am not your brother-inw."
Wrigley nodded before he said, "I know. You are not m y brother-inw now, but you will be my
brother-inw sooner orter..."
Charlie was toozy to be bothered with him over this kind of silly matter. So, he simply stopped
paying any more attention to him.
At this time, Loreen came over before she asked Charlie in a low voice, "Charlie, when will you be
going back to Aurous Hill?” 4 "Tomorrow."
