Chapter 2025
Dn was just thinking about finding somemon topics to try to get closer to Doris when he
suddenly received a WhatsApp message from his mother, Sylvia.
The content of the WhatsApp message hit him very hard, as if he were struck by lightning, i
"How did you useless brat provoke Charlie Wade?! Wrigley from the Golding family just called and
chewed me out, saying that you were in trouble again and Charlie wants to extend your punishment
period i n Aurous Hill to two years!"
Dn was on the verge of copse!
"Two years?! Isn''t that going to kill me?"
"I had just stayed in Cliffcouls of Aurous Hill for two days and I couldn’t take it any longer. I have no
idea how I am supposed to endure it for a year. Why did Charlie suddenly add another year to my
punishment time? What did I do to him?" 3
As he thought about it, Dn looked at Charlie and subconsciously asked, "Mr. Wade, I..."
Charlie did not even wait for him to speak. He passed a cup of tea and said with a faint smile,
"Come! Please drink some tea, Mr. Koch. This tea is good. I brought it back from overseas. If you
drink it, then two will remain as two. If you don’t, two will change to three, or even four or five." 4
At this moment, Dn grimaced in fear.
As he listened clearly to Charlie''s words, he could understand the hidden threats within them. 2
Charlie''s intention must be informing me not to spew nonsense. If I were to just earnestly drink tea
and stop spewing nonsense, my time in Aurous hill will be maintained for two years. If I refuse, the
punishment period might be changed to three years, four years, or even five years 4
As he thought about it, Dn hadpletely fallen apart! 2
This Charlie, is indeed worse than demons! How did I provoke you? Why are you ying me like
this?!
Unless... Unless this was because of that Doris ?! Could it be that my intention to court Doris has
offended him?!
Doris is not even Charlie''s woman! Isn''t she just Emgrand Group''s vice chairperson? What
rtionship does she have with Charlie? Charlie, your control is too much... 1
As Dn was feeling deeply depressed, the others looked at Charlie, puzzled, and tried to
comprehend the meaning of two changing to three or four in his words earlier.
ire asked in surprise, "Charlie, what are you talking about? What''s with two changing to three,
two changing to four... I don''t understand...'''' 1
Charlie smiled a little and replied, "Wife, I am just ying charades with Mr. Koch. When we met
last time, we found out that we both love charades. So, I just gave Mr. Koch an impromptu riddle." 1
ire nodded lightly and asked with a smile, "So, what is the answer?"
Charlie smiled and said, "The answer to the riddle can''t be disclosed, or else it will be meaningless."
As he spoke, he pushed the teacup again towards Dn and asked with a smile. "Mr. Koch, so...
Do you want to drink this cup of tea?" 3
Dn knew that if he were to not take the cup of tea, h e might not be able to escape his extended
stay in Aurous Hill for the next three or four years.
If he wished to stop damage to prevent any further losses, he had to hurriedly drink this cup of tea.
Thinking of this, his eyes reddened and he almost cried on the spot.
Two years! Living in this dpidated shantytown of Cliffcouls for two years, is no different from
staying in jail!
Wouldn''t it be better to just rot in jail!
What sin have Imitted to meet such an immoral person like Charlie! I had lived a debonair life
before meeting him. Ever since meeting him at Jasmine''s birthday party, my life has been nothing
but bad luck!
At this point, Dn eximed in his heart of hearts, Damn it! That time I offended Charlie because I
wanted to pick up Jasmine! This Charlie is such a bastard?! He''s a married man with such a
beautiful wife, yet he kept cock-blocking me?! Could it be that these are all his women?! 7
Those many times of inadvertent encounters with Charlie were killing him. In the future, he just
wanted t o stay as far away as possible from him, hoping that h e would never see him ever again in
this lifetime... 5
Filled with resentment, he could not help butpromise with Charlie and respectfully receive the
teacup that was pushed towards him by Charlie. He brought the teacup close to his mouth with
trembling hands as he said with great pain, "Thank you for making the tea, Mr. Wade. I will drink it!"Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
