After being dealt a series of blows, Peter started to sweat so profusely that he could not even stand straight and he had to use the wall to steady himself. 1
Claire did not know who had called Peter but she could see the change of the expression on Peter's face after answering the call. He looked as though he was going to collapse immediately. 5
"Charlie, do you think Peter is unwell?" 1
Charlie smiled before he replied, "Yes, perhaps there is something wrong with his brain and he can't remember who he really is."
Peter’s secretary continued panicking over the other end of the line but Peter could not hear whatever she was saying at all. He could only hear a ringing sound i n his ear and all he could think of was what Charlie was saying earlier.
"You’re already bankrupt!"
Peter was sweating all over and he raised his head in horror as he stared at Charlie with a firm expression o n his face.
How did Charlie predict all of this? 1
He...he was really bankrupt!
Peter collapsed to the ground out of desperation.
Charlie glanced at him with a cold and indifferent expression on his face before he said to Claire, "Let's g o."
Claire did not know what was happening to Peter at this time but she did not want to have anything to do with Peter anymore. Therefore, she turned around to follow after Charlie immediately.
At this time, Peter suddenly regained his sense and he raised his head as he watched Charlie walk away from him. 1
Peter suddenly stood up as he rushed towards Charlie without any hesitation at all.
Just as Charlie was about to get into his car, Peter stopped him and he stared at him with bloodshot eyes. 1
Claire was shocked to see the crazy look on Peter's face and she subconsciously took a step back as she hid behind Charlie. 1
"You did this, right? You were the one who did all this, right?"
Peter stared at Charlie as he asked in frustration. 1
Charlie simply glared at Peter as he yelled, "Go away!"
