Chapter 1957


    Carmen never expected what Albert said would really happen.


    She thought of asking for preferential treatment from Charlie, but instead of submitting to her


    request, Charlie instead reduced her daily meal budget from fifty to a measly thirty dors.


    She finally experienced the pain that Lady Wilson had been put through. 3


    If she had known that this would be the consequence, why did she even bother making a fuss? 2


    Looking at Carmen''s face that was awash with agony, Albert mocked with a yful smirk.


    "What did I just say? I told you Master Wade would surely decrease your meal budget, but you


    refused to believe me. So, are you beginning to now?" 2


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Donning a gloomy expression, Carmen said nothing, nor did she dare say anything, because she


    knew that the more she spoke up, the worse the consequences would be. She might really end up


    eating bread and hotdog if she went on.


    Albert smiled when he saw her being submissive and continued taunting. "Miss Wade, I hope you


    enjoy your seven days'' worth of wonderful vacation here. If there''s nothing else, I''ll see myself out."


    Carmen red at Albert fiercely. The moment he left the room, she crouched down and burst into


    tears. 2


    She immediately whipped out her phone and videocalled her father, Jeremiah, who was in Eastcliff


    now.


    Once the call was connected, Carmen sobbed loudly." Father! That bastard Charlie has humiliated


    me! Look a t the kind of shithole he got me into!" 4


    She switched the camera and showed Jeremiah the condition of her surroundings.


    Jeremiah did not expect Charlie to be so cruel to his own aunt to arrange such lousy


    amodation for her. He started to feel a rising dissatisfaction within.


    He sighed. "Charlie has gone too far in this matter. No matter what, you are still his aunt..."


    Sighing a couple of times, he continued. "But Charlie i s now of great use to Wade family. If we can


    get him back to Wade family and marry the Golding girl, our family’s status will significantly


    increase. It would be even better if he’s able to win the Schulz girl’s heart..."


    Listening to Jeremiah''s exmation, Carmen suddenly remembered the things Charlie told her in


    the helicopter.


    He said that the Webb family''s Big Eight had perished in his hands and that Yule Golding had


    recovered from his terminal illness because of him.


    He even mentioned that the catastrophic havoc between the three top families in Japan some time


    ago was his doing too.


    Judging by what he imed, what Charlies was capable of was probably far beyond everyone''s


    expectations. 3


    As she thought about it, Carmen''s heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself: I can''t let Father


    know about any of this, or he''ll definitely favor Charlie even more. That little son of a b*tch! I can''t let


    Charlie return to Wade family! If he does, there will be no ce for me! 5


    Carmen hastily replied, "Father, I''ll be frank. Charlie is a cold-blooded monster with zero affection.


    You want him to return to Wade family because of the family bloodline, but he doesn''t care about us


    at all. Just look at the way he treats me, his own aunt! Should he return to Wade family, and if by


    any chance we upset him, won''t he wreak havoc upon our entire family?" 3


    Jeremiah fell into silence all of a sudden as Carmen’s words suddenly made him feel rmed.


    For that matter, anyone would love having a capable person under theirmand who could do


    great things and reach outstanding achievements, but the essence was whether they could


    overpower such a person or not.


    In Jeremiah''s opinion, Charlie''s recent actions had indeed gone overboard.
