Gerald was also stunned.
The villa at Thompson First was the most valuable property owned by the White family.
This house was owned by Zeke, the current head of the White family, who was Gerald’s uncle. 1
Zeke was Kevin's father, and Gerald’s father was only second-in-command. 1
Even though Gerald and his father really loved Thompson First, there was no way they could afford such an expensive villa! 2
Therefore, Gerald felt extremely shocked and uncomfortable when he heard that his uncle had actually given this villa to Charlie. He immediately told Wendy over the phone, "Wendy, give me a minute. I will ask my uncle about this." 1
Wendy hung up the phone before she glared at Charlie as she gritted her teeth and asked, "Charlie, what did you do? How did you trick Uncle White into giving you this villa?" 1
At this time, Charlie replied in a light manner, “Mr. White offered me this villa on his own accord." s
"You are lying!" Wendy suddenly blurted out. “You're not related to the White family at all! Why would Uncle White give you such an expensive villa for no
reason? You must have gotten this villa from him using some sort of despicable means!" 2
At this time, Wendy suddenly received a phone call from Gerald. "Wendy, it seems as though my uncle is very busy right now. He hung up on me without saying anything at all." 9
Charlie sneered before he took out his cell phone. After that, he turned on the speaker before he called Zeke directly.
As soon as the phone started ringing, the other party answered the call immediately.
Wendy was stunned. 1
"Mr. Wade!” Zeke exclaimed in a flattering manner over the other end of the line. "Mr. Wade, have you gone to Thompson First to check out the villa that I gave you? Are you satisfied with the villa?”
Charlie responded immediately, "Yes, I'm looking at the villa right now. It's a really beautiful villa. Thank you."
Zeke quickly replied, "Mr. Wade, there's no need to thank me. I'm glad that you like it!" 1
At this time, Charlie simply replied, "Mr. White, I think you should give them an explanation on this matter. Otherwise, they’re very convinced that I've tricked you into giving me the villa." 9
"Okay!" Zeke replied immediately. "Since Mr. Wade wants me to explain myself, then I will explain it to you because I am giving him face. I owe Mr. Wade a huge favor because he saved my life. Therefore, I'm giving him this villa as a gift and token of my gratitude. I hope that you clowns will stop doubting M r. Wade because if you continue to doubt him, I won’t let you off!" 7
Wendy felt very aggrieved at this time. Her face turned red because she felt so embarrassed that her future father-in-law actually scolded her in front of everyone else. 9
When Christopher saw that Wendy was so aggrieved, h e coughed before he said, "Mr. White, Wendy is still a young child. She only asked you about the villa out of curiosity. She had no other intentions." 3
Zeke ignored Christopher and he simply said in a respectful manner, "Mr. Wade, is there anything else you would like me to explain?"
"No, that is it," Charlie replied.
"Okay then. I won't bother you anymore, Mr. Wade. Please call me whenever you need my help."
After that, Charlie immediately hung up the phone.
