As Lady Wilson was about to kneel down, Jacob panicked and hurriedly reached out to stop her.The old lady was determined to kneel down anyway. She fell straight down to the floor with her knees bent. She thought that she would admit defeat first and see if Jacob was really so stubborn and not pity her.However, Jacob shared the same thought as Elaine.Although he was on bad terms with Elaine and had even planned to separate from her, they both agreed that they couldn’t let Lady Wilson live in the villa with them!Hence, Jacob held the old lady in his arms and said coldly, “Mother, please stop your sympathy-seeking act. No matter what you say, I can’t let you live in this villa!”Lady Wilson chided sadly, “Jacob Wilson, you ungrateful b*stard! I gave birth to you, you self-centered brat! How dare you stop me from living with you after you moved into such a big villa?!”Jacob nodded and said firmly, “Mother, like it or not, this is fact. No matter what, I can’t let you stay here!”
Charlie nodded sternly. Since they wanted to remain so stubborn and audacious, he didn’t have to give in.“Grandma, since you don’t have a place to live, how about I arrange a place for you? It includes food and housing and doesn’t cost a penny.”“Shut up!” Lady Wilson chided disdainfully, “You want me to live in the old apartment where the four of us used to live, don’t you? No freaking way! I don’t want to live in such a shabby place! I will move into this Thompson First villa today!”Charlie said, amused, “Oh no, Grandma, you’re overthinking it. We bought the old apartment and we won’t let you stay in for free, of course.”He immediately took out his phone and texted Isaac.“The Wilson family has come to cause trouble at Thompson First. Call someone and lock these people up in the detention center for 2 weeks.”Isaac quickly replied, “Okay, Mr. Wade, I’ll get on it right now.”Elaine was extremely annoyed by Lady Wilson’s antiques, she tried to push her out the door with grea
Elaine hurriedly intruded, “Officer, don’t listen to her! She kicked my husband out of her family and cut ties with him a long time ago!”The officer looked at Elaine, then at Lady Wilson, and asked skeptically, “Is what she said true?”“Of course not!” Lady Wilson urged, “It’s something I said in the heat of the moment!”“The heat of the moment?!” Jacob was provoked. “Mom, you kicked me out of your house a long time ago, you kicked me and Claire out of Wilson Group, you deducted Elaine and I’s pensions in the company, and cut ties with me! Now that you’re in a downfall, it suddenly becomes something you said in the heat of the moment?!”The officer frowned in confusion. He asked, “Who does this villa belong to?”Charlie said, “It’s mine.”The officer nodded and asked, “What is your relationship with the old lady?”Charlie shrugged indifferently. “We’re not really related. She is my wife’s grandmother.”The officer turned to Lady Wilson, “Ma’am, you’ve come to the wrong place.
With two officers clutching his arms, Harold glared at Charlie in hatred as he was being dragged out of the house and shouted, “Hey, b*stard, is this all your doing?”Charlie grinned. “Take a wild guess.”Christopher yelled from the top of his lungs, “Charlie Wade, you’ll pay for this! I’ll kill you myself!”The leading officer scolded, “Shut up.”Then, the group of police officers escorted all four of them into the police car and drove to the station.As Elaine watched the car drive away, she was so thrilled she jiggled around, dancing and cheering, “Yes! We’ve finally kicked them out of here! The dead old woman is getting a dose of her own medicine!”Jacob sighed in disapproval. “Watch your tongue. It’s fine that you don’t want her to live here, but she’s still my mother and she’ll always be.”Elaine pouted contemptuously. “Huh, you can call that woman your mother all you want as long as she doesn’t live in my house!”Claire, who had been silent the whole time, sighed and sai
Elaine figured that Charlie the loser wouldn’t dare to disobey her if she asked for the money from him directly.As soon as she got the money from him, she could invite her friends for a meal at a luxurious restaurant followed by a spa and facial treatment. This was what they called the upper-class lifestyle.Charlie shook his head at her request. “Mom, I can’t give you the money.”“Why not?” Elaine frowned, perplexed. “Dad is now in charge of the household fund and expenses. If you want to use the money, you’ll have to get Dad’s approval first.”“What do you say?!” Elaine growled hastily, “My words don’t count anymore, do they?”Charlie nodded. “For anything regarding money, you’ll have to go through Dad first.”“Hey, don’t you dare use Jacob to overpower me! I’m your mother-in-law and if I ask you for money, you have to give it to me, no questions asked!”Charlie smiled. “Of course, I can give you the money if Dad says okay, I can even give you all of it!”“You…” Elaine con
Elaine trotted up the stairs to the second floor and tried to open the door to Charlie and Claire’s room. She grinned triumphantly when the doorknob twisted open easily.Once she was inside the room, she began to rummage through their stuff.However, it was their first day moving into the villa. They hadn’t had the time to keep their things in the closets and there was nothing valuable laying around.Elaine searched for a long time but couldn’t find Charlie’s wallet nor bank card. Just when she was in the midst of frustration, her eyes blinked enthusiastically when she saw Charlie’s coat hanging in the closet. She hurried forward and rummaged through the pockets for a while. Finally, she found a black and gold bank card in one of the pockets.The card was filled with words from some foreign language that she couldn’t comprehend except for the fact that the card was from Citibank. She didn’t know what kind of bank card it was even after looking at the cards back and forth carefull
Mrs. Lewis sighed, “It was my job to take you off the street and into the orphanage, but you don’t have the obligation to take care of me and pay for the expensive medical bills. Besides, I know very well how your life in the Wilson family is…”Then, she continued, “Don’t worry, Charlie, I’ll find a way to pay you back.”Charlie was moved. Mrs. Lewis had really treated him as her own son and cared so much about him.He said in a sincere tone, “Mrs. Lewis, you don’t have to worry about the money nor pay me back either.”“No, I can’t do that! It is a lot of money, I have to repay you!”“No, Mrs. Lewis. I’ll always remember your kindness towards me. It’s my duty to spend money on your treatment. If you still insist on paying me back, you’re treating me as a stranger and I might not want to see you again!”Mrs. Lewis smiled warmly at his remark, but she knew that she couldn’t accept his money just like that. She would return the money to him no matter what he said.But, she said on
Elaine immediately entered the wedding anniversary of Charlie and Claire into the ATM.The screen prompted, “Hello, honorable Citibank Supreme VIP member, your password is incorrect, you have one attempt left today.”“D*mn it!” Elaine cursed. “Wrong again? D*mn, I have only one chance left…”She was stomping anxiously, suddenly, a thought struck her mind. Could it be Charlie’s own birthday?She wanted to give it a try eagerly, but she suddenly realized that she didn’t know when his birthday was. She sheepishly took out her phone and called Claire.She hurriedly asked as soon as the call was answered, “Claire, when is Charlie’s birthday?”Claire asked skeptically, “Mom, why do you want to know?”She knew that her mother had always looked down upon Charlie, so she couldn’t comprehend why she wanted to know Charlie’s birthday so abruptly.Elaine said, abashed, “Oh, erm, Charlie got us a villa, didn’t he? He worked hard for that, so I want to reward him with something like celebrat
