The secretary was flustered. "Sir..."
"I didn't come here to drink tea. Humph!"
"Clean it up." Charles was still calm. Regardless of the trouble that Frederic made, he kept his calm.
"Yes, Mr. Fu." The secretary collected the broken pieces and cleaned the room with a mop.
Seeing Charles stoic face, Frederic was no longer in the mood to argue.
"Charles, give me an explanation." His voice was laced with irritation this time.
"Secretary, two cups of tea," Charles ordered softly.
"Yes, sir." The secretary soon brought two cups of tea and put them in front of Charles.
"Mom, I remember you like it too. Here you are." Charles pushed a cup of tea in front of Angelina.
He picked up a teacup, blew on the tea gently, and took a sip. "This kind of tea is the best. Its smell and taste are both great."
Frederic swallowed hard as if swallowing down his irritation.
Honestly, after shouting for so long, his throat was dry enough to be marked as a desert.
"Yes, I also like drinking tea." After saying that, Angelina took the cup and was just about to drink tea.
"Put that down. I haven't even taken a sip yet!" Frederic yelled and grabbed the teacup from Angelina's hand.
Angelina and Charles smiled at each other.
Old people would sometimes act like children.
"Father, please." Angelina asked the secretary to bring her another cup of tea.
Since Frederic was willing to drink tea, they knew that they had gotten past his first layer of mental resistance. A reasonable parley was somewhat possible now.
"Grandpa, are you only here for tea?" Charles asked as he opened a document.
"Put your work aside first. I want to ask you if your uncle's car accident had anything to do with you."
"Yes."
"You bastard! You have only been doing business for a few years, and you have already learned all the crafty and wicked things of this circle. You fail to live up to my expectations!" Frederic's hand holding the cup began trembling.
In the past, he insisted on giving the TS Group to Charles not because of his brains, but because of his kindness. What went wrong with Charles? Why did he turn evil just after a few years?
Frederic couldn't hide his disappointment.
"What are you talking about, Charles?" Angelina asked. She knew Charles wasn’t stupid. So why was he trying to irritate Frederic?
Wasn't he worried about the consequences?
"What I meant was since my uncle, Derrick, got in an accident, I couldn't just wait and watch. I had to take some action! The police arrested Hiram and asked him to tell the truth. I also want to know the truth. But as far as I know, Hiram isn't someone capable of executing such elaborate schemes. Besides, he knows that Derrick is my uncle. Why would he do something so illegal without my permission? Anyway, he should know the consequences, right? He is not stupid. Why would he do such a thing? What do you think, Grandpa?" Charles explained.
