Chapter 104 Shein responded with mild indifference, “It’s rare to find someone so righteous at his age. You could learn a thing ortwo from him.” Meanwhile, Wanda, who was hiding in the warehouse, felt a sense of contentment hearing her father praiseCarlisle. “Oh, Carlisle, remember this is your future father-in-law. Best behavior, okay?” Wanda silently urged. Zachary scoffed,“Learn from him? Do you even realize how out of line he was? If | hadn’t stepped in, he’d be in serious trouble. If he sets theexample, it’s the end of the Thompson family legacy!” Wanda tightened her fists in annoyance. “Why does Zachary always haveto be so mean? Can't he just be civil?” she fumed inwardly. Shein shot Zachary a stern look. “Shut up!” Shein thought to himselfthat Zachary needed a good talking—to when they got back home, especially considering he was being so rude in front of Yuriel.Zachary rolled his eyes, thinking, “This guy’s almost run off with your daughter, and you’re defending him?” Shein then smiled atCarlisle and reassured, “Lad, that’s just how my son is. Don’t take it to heart.” Carlisle grinned. “It's okay. He’s not wrong. Iunderestimated the situation and ended up in trouble because of it.” Yuriel turned to Carlisle and asked, “Are you here to buypaintings too?” Carlisle nodded. “My grandfather's birthday is coming up. He loves paintings, so | came to find somethingspecial. Zachary eyed the painting in Carlisle’s hand and then glanced at the money in the Retrovintique owner's hand. It lookedlike around 100 thousand dollars. “That painting looks expensive,” Zachary remarked, suspecting Carlisle had swindled Wandafinancially. “It wasn’t cheap, and it cost me 100 thousand dollars,” Carlisle replied honestly. “Come with me,” Zachary saidexpressionlessly as he headed outside. Carlisle quietly followed him. With his father and Yuriel present, Zachary wouldn’t darelay a finger on him, would he? Once outside, Carlisle noticed a dozen well-dressed bodyguards standing by the entrance.Zachary lit a cigarette, then pressed Carlisle against the wall, coldly warning, “Carlisle, let me remind you, stay away from mysister. She’s not someone you can mess with.” Carlisle calmly replied, “You can’t dictate Wanda’s feelings.” pter104 272“Smack!” Zachary punched Carlisle in the face, causing him to stumble. Several passersby stopped to look. The bodyguardsquickly lined up to block the view of the onlookers. Zachary grabbed Carlisle’s collar and sneered, “You might not have knownwhat the Thompson family was like before, and | can’t blame you for that. But understand this: the Thompson family is a leagueyou'll never join.” Carlisle wiped a speck of blood from his cheek with his tongue and calmly replied, “I never aspired to be part ofthe Thompson family. | don’t reach for what’s beyond my grasp, so don’t underestimate me.” “Damn...” Zachary raised his hand,ready to strike again. “Zachary!” Wanda rushed out from Retrovintique and pulled Carlisle behind her. She looked up defiantlyand declared, “If you want to fight, fight me!” Shein emerged from Retrovintique, wearing a grim look. He asked calmly, “What'sgoing on here?” With his hands in his pockets, Zachary smirked. “You wondered why Wanda didn’t get into a top-tier university,right? It's because of him. Wanda deliberately scored lower to get into Riverland University and then started dating him!” Sheinraised an eyebrow. “Is that true?” Wanda remained silent. Tears welled up in her eyes. Feeling the weight of the situation,Carlisle knew no matter what he said, the Thompsons wouldn’t think highly of him. He spoke earnestly, “Mr. Thompson, Wandaand | will focus on our studies.” Just as Zachary was about to retort, Shein silenced him with a stern look. Shein turned toCarlisle and said, “You're both still young. | hope you'll make wise decisions.” Wanda looked at her father in disbelief, wonderingif he had just allowed her to be with Carlisle.The content is on NovelDrama.Org!
