"Charlie, is this... did the White family really give this villa to you?" Jacob asked Charlie in surprise when he finally regained his senses. 3
"Yes, dad," Charlie replied as he smiled.
"This... you..." Jacob stuttered. He felt as though he was still dreaming.
Claire hurried over to her father before she said, "Dad, why don't you sit down and rest for a while? Since Mr. White has already explained the situation to everyone, everyone should know clearly now that this villa rightfully belongs to Charlie." i
Claire specifically emphasized the words 'rightfully belongs' because she wanted her relatives to hear her loud and clear. 2
Hannah held her hand against her chest in disbelief before she muttered, "The White family must be really insane! If they wanted to give this villa to someone else, why didn’t they give it to me instead?" 6
Hannah was not the only one in disbelief because the rest of them were also very shocked at this time. In fact, Harold was extremely jealous of Charlie. 5
He could never afford to buy this villa even if he worked hard for ten lifetimes, but how did this good fortune fall on someone like Charlie?! 1
What kind of luck did he have?
Christopher's face was still pale, and the fact that Zeke had ignored him did not matter anymore. He felt that this villa should have been his daughter's property in the future, but unfortunately, it had ended up in Charlie's hands instead. This was totally unacceptable! 3
He looked at his daughter who was still crying miserably before he looked at Charlie, and he could feel his heart sinking immediately. 1
He had always looked down on Jacob for the longest time, but now, the latter was actually so many steps above him because of his son-in-law. How could he accept this?
Christopher suddenly spoke up and asked, "Charlie, what kind of favor does Mr. White owe you? Are you going to help him under the Wilson family's name?" 5
Charlie replied lightly, "Well, this is my personal business, so there is no need for me to explain myself t o you!" 2
After that, Charlie turned around and spoke to Barry. "I t is already getting late. Please help me to see the guests off."
Even though Christopher claimed to be his 'elder', he was nothing at all in Charlie's eyes!
