Ben gently nudged Charlie's shoulder with his elbow, "Charlie, I'm really envious of you."
Charlie raised an eyebrow, with a smug smile on his lips.
Ben didn't see Charlie's contented expression. His eyes were firmly staring at Nancy, "Vivian is beautiful, kind and talented. This wife of yours is definitely a worthy one."
At this moment, he saw that Nancy put her mobile phone in her bag and walked away directly without even glancing at Charlie. He laughed out loud, "Ha-ha-ha, Young Master Firth, Vivian is good at everything, but her memory is bad, ha-ha-ha..."
Charlie was immediately displeased. His hawkish gaze swept across Ben's face. Ben quickly recoiled with a dry laugh, then backed away at once.
"Um..."
He picked up the pool cue lying next to him, and gave a placating smile to Charlie, "Should we... play another round?"
Charlie gave him a cold look, pointed to the pool cue Nancy had just used and said, "Don't let anyone else use it. It's now exclusive to my wife!"
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
Ben thought Charlie had really changed!
Referring to his 'wife' at every other sentence, perhaps he honestly fell deep in love.
He immediately stood upright and respectfully nodded, "Yes, command noted!"
Charlie ignored him, put his left hand in his pocket, and followed Nancy up without another word.
Nancy, having just won five hundred thousand dollars, was over the moon.
With this money, she no longer had to worry about being unable to afford her dad's medical treatment after switching things up with Vivian. She could even buy Henry a new computer and some nice clothes...
Just as she was thinking about it, an arm suddenly reached around from behind her, and caught her in a chokehold!
