“W-What?”
Leo exclaimed in astonishment, “Charlie, did the Collins family do anything wrong? Ever since you came back from Europe, you seem quick-tempered. Two days ago you were mad at the Mirren family. Today it's the Collins family. Didn't you always say that businessmen only care about profits?”
Charlie's gaze shifted to the kitchen, “The Collins family has crossed the line with me. Do they have a daughter?”
“How would I know?”
Leo was unhappy, “I’m so busy with work all the time. I don’t have time to care about whether or not others have daughters. And the Collins family isn’t important. Even if they do have a daughter, she’s merely a nobody in my eyes.”
He stopped abruptly, then asked, “Charlie, you said the Collins family crossed the line? What is the line? I didn’t know you had such a line.”
Charlie averted his gaze, and said coldly, “Give me all the information about the Collins family's daughter in ten minutes, otherwise…”
With a snap, the call was ended all of a sudden.
Staring blankly at his phone, Leo jumped up angrily, "Damn it! Every time you ask me to do something, there’s always a threat at the end. Like, ‘or else,’ ‘or else’ what! What can you do to me if I don't do it?"
Although he complained, he still quickly picked up his phone to make some calls.
Having a brother like Charlie was really his bad luck!
In nine minutes, the information was sent to Charlie's mailbox.
Charlie picked up his tablet and looked at the information of Fiona. An evil smirk spread at the corner of his mouth.
“How could a girl be so arrogant and domineering? If you dare to bully my woman, you’re doomed.”
His fingers quickly moved across the screen of his tablet.
...
After dinner, Nancy sat contentedly on the sofa. She noticed Charlie sitting beside her and smiled, “How was it? I’m not a bad cook, am I?”
Charlie nodded, “Not bad.”
With Maid Heather approaching, Nancy leaned on Charlie and asked playfully, “Who cooks better, me or Maid Heather?”
