Chapter 1920


    "Carmen?!" Jeremiah blurted out over the other end of the line, "How are you? Have you


    encountered any danger?!"


    Carmen started crying as she said, "I have been detained by Charlie. He said that he will not let me


    return to Eastcliff to celebrate the New Year! Dad, this guy has no respect for his elders at all, and


    he is very arrogant! You have to help me out!" 1


    Jeremiah asked in surprise, "What is happening?!


    How did you end up having a conflict with Charlie?"


    At this time, Charlie took over the cell phone from Carmen before he said coldly, "She went behind


    my back to look for my mother-inw, and she even tried t o bribe my mother-inw so that she


    would persuade my wife, ire, to divorce me. Is this the Wade family''s style of doing things?" 3


    Jeremiah was startled, and he hesitated for a moment before he sighed and said, "Charlie, no


    matter what it i s, she is still your aunt after all." 2


    Charlie asked him again, "So what? Does that mean that she has the right to interfere with my own


    freedom of marriage, then? Don''t mention the fact that she does not have this right, but even you


    will not have this right at all!" 2


    Jeremiah replied emotionally, "Well... you are right.


    Your aunt should not have done that. I apologize on her behalf. So, can you let here home,


    then..." 4


    Charlie replied coldly, "I''ve already said that I will be detaining her here in Aurous Hill for the New


    Year. I will send her back home after the New Year. Before the New Year, no one will be able to get


    her out of Aurous Hill at all!"


    Jeremiah hesitated for a moment over the other end o f the line before he said helplessly, "Alright,


    then. It is u p to you!"


    When Carmen heard Lord Wade''s words, she was immediately filled with desperation. She hurriedly


    pleaded, "Dad! I want to go back home to Eastcliff to apany you and spend the New Year with


    you! Dad!"


    Jeremiah replied earnestly, "Carmen, you do indeed have a very foul temper. Perhaps you should


    take advantage of this opportunity to learn your lesson and make some changes to your temper and


    personality. You are already almost fifty years old, but you are always so hot-headed like a young


    person!" 5


    "I..." Carmen was suddenly at a loss and she did not know what else to say.


    At this time, Jeremiah spoke up again, "Charlie,e home when you have time. Grandpa really..."


    s


    Before Jeremiah could finish saying the words '' misses you very much’, Charlie had already hung


    up the phone directly. 4


    He did not have any rtionship with Jeremiah, and h e felt that Jeremiah was more or less


    responsible for the death of his parents. Therefore, Charlie had no patience to deal with him at all.


    As soon as Charlie had hung up the phone, Carmen choked up and asked, "Charlie, it is fine if I


    have to spend the New Year in Aurous Hill. However, I want to spend the New Year alone in the


    presidential suite in the Shangri-La hotel!” 6


    Charlie smiled before he said, "The presidential suite i n Shangri-La? I think you must be dreaming.


    I am going to rent you a house in the small vige,


    Cliffcouls, and you will be living there for one week!"


    "What?!" Carmen felt as though she was about to copse, and she said, "You... you want me to


    live in Cliffcouls?! You are so cruel!” i


    Charlie sneered. At this time, he suddenly thought of Dn, who was riding a bicycle to Aurous Hill.


    Charlie could not help but wonder where Dn could possibly be at now since it was already almost


    the New Year. 6


    So, Charlie called Loreen directly.


    As soon as the call was connected, Loreen asked happily, "Charlie, why did you think of calling


    me?" 3


    Charlie asked her, "Loreen, where is your cousin, Dn, now?"


    Loreen replied, "He told me this morning that he was about to cross the Yaak River soon. He should


    be able t


    o reach Aurous Hill by tonight.” 1


    Charlie frowned as he asked, "Why is he so slow?”


    Loreen could only reply helplessly, "He encountered a small ident on his bicycle, and he injured


    his arm. That caused him to slow down a little." 1


    Charlie asked again, "Have you found a house for him i n Cliffcouls?"


    Loreen replied, "Yes! I''ve already found a house for him ording to your request. The rental for


    the house will cost five hundred dors a month."


    Charlie hummed slightly before he said, "Okay, then. I wille and check it out tomorrow." 3Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    After hanging up the phone, Albert came over with Donald, who was wearing a ck spit hood over


    his head.


    Charlie immediately instructed, "Arrange for someone to go to Cliffcouls and rent the worse house


    there. Make the arrangements for Madam Wade to stay there for seven days. She is not allowed to


    step out of the house at all over the next seven days. Arrange for someone to get her all the food,


    drinks, and daily necessities that she needs for these seven days.


    Furthermore, you are only allowed to get her the mostmon and basic items. Do you


    understand?" 1


    Albert nodded immediately as he said, "Okay, Master Wade! I will go and make the arrangements


    now!"
