Chapter 85
Jerome immediately punched in a number on his phone and yelled into it, “Zaz, I’m in SilverwingHospital right now. Bring along a few of your underlings, we have a brat to kill!”novelbin
Charlie, on the other hand, didn’t bother calling anyone. Instead, he texted Albert Rhodes: [Come toSilverwing Hospital, someone is trying to kill me.]
Don Albert immediately called him.
“Mr. Wade, who is this son of a bitch?”
Charlie then replied dismissively, “Less talking, just come over.”
Don Albert replied, “Don’t worry Mr. Wade, I’ll be there in a few minutes.”
When Jerome realized Charlie was talking on the phone as well, he scoffed. “Hah, don’t tell me youhad someone to come over as backup. What a joke!”
Charlie ignored his remark and smiled. “As I said earlier, I’ll have the both of you die the most painfuldeath.”
Jerome laughed as though he had just heard the funniest joke on earth. “Who the hell do you think youare? No one in Aurous Hill dares to defy me!”
Douglas, who was struggling to sit up straight on the bed, panicked and said, “Charlie, just leave. Youcan’t win with this bastard, just don’t.”
Charlie walked up to him and tucked him back into bed. “Just lie down.”
Still panicking, Douglas insisted, “You don’t know how powerful he is! His family is very well-known inAurous Hill…”
Charlie peeled a mandarin and shoved a piece into Douglas’s mouth. “There is no one whom I don’tdare to defy just yet.”
Lily laughed. “Really, now? You’re so deluded! Do you even know who you’re dealing with?”
Charlie interrupted her before she could continue. “I don’t care who he is, I just know that he’s going tobe disabled for the rest of his life!”
He paused before continuing, “Oh wait, your fate will be the same as his!”
Lily’s expression immediately darkened. “Fine! If you want to die that badly, just you wait!”
Charlie then turned to Douglas. “Did you inform her father, Lawson Lewis, about this?
“Yeah,” Douglas replied. “I called him.”
Charlie nodded. “Well, what did he say?”
Douglas furrowed his eyebrows. “He said that this was none of his business! He just wanted to find anexcuse so that I wouldn’t go looking for him anymore!”
Charlie pressed on further. “What about the ten thousand dollars you invested in the restaurant? Didyou ask him to pay you back?”
“I did!” Douglas grew even more frustrated and clenched his teeth. “That old bastard… he told me thatthe money wasn’t an investment, it was a gift from his future son-in-law! He said that I didn’t have theright to get it back, so he’s not going to give it back to me!”
“How dare he!” Charlie huffed. “No wonder he has such a bitch of a daughter seeing as he himself isthe scum of the earth!”
“What did you just say, Charlie?” Infuriated, Lily yelled, “How dare you speak ill of my father! Death isjust at your doorstep if you don’t watch that mouth!”
She then immediately clung to Jerome and pleaded, “Jerome darling, look what he said about myfather! Beat him up for me!”
Jerome was nothing but a mere player. He wasn’t tall, nor was he built. He was at least half a footshorter than Charlie, and moreover, Charlie handled everything around the house, even living a healthylifestyle. If Jerome were to pick a fight with Charlie, it was clear as day as to who would win.
Not only that, but Charlie’s father had also taught him Wing Chun ever since he was a young child.Even after the death of his parents, he had not missed a day of training in the orphanage. It wasbecause of how much he trained that no one in the orphanage had dared to bully him.
Hence, if they were to engage in a fight, Jerome definitely didn’t have a chance. Even if there were tobe five of him, Charlie would still easily win the fight.
Jerome understood the situation that he was in. He knew that if he fought him now, only defeat awaitedhim. Therefore, he held Lily’s hand and comforted her. “Don’t worry, babe. Zaz is already on his waywith his men. When he arrives, we’ll have him dead in a ditch!”
