When Sheldon heard this, he was extremely shocked, and he stood motionless in front of Charlie.
He never would have expected that Curtis’s son would still be alive!
He also would not have expected that Curtis's son would suddenly appear in front of him!
At this time, in addition to his nervousness, Sheldon was also feeling a little angry! 2
'Curtis Wade! Curtis Wade again! Ever since I got to know Helen, these words, ‘Curtis Wade', have always been my nightmare. It was only until Helen's whereabouts were completely unknown after she met with a car accident a few days ago that I was finally free from Curtis Wade's shadow. But now, Curtis Wade’s son is actually here?! Where did this guy come from?!' 1
When Sheldon saw that Charlie's features and temperament were very similar to Curtis’s, Sheldon hardly had any doubts about his words at all.
He simply stared at Charlie before he asked in a cold voice, "Even if you are Curtis Wade's son, what do you mean by appearing in my room now?" "What do I mean?" Charlie sneered as he said, "I came
here to settle the score with you, and you are asking m e what I mean?"
"Settle the score with me?" When Sheldon saw that Charlie seemed to be here with bad intentions, and when he thought about how there would be no one around him to help him since he was currently in the Wade family’s hotel, he could not help but feel even more flustered.
Therefore, he could not hide his nervousness as he said, "Your father and I were just acquaintances at most. We did not have any friendship or hatred. So, what score are you settling with me?" 3
Charlie replied coldly, "I will settle the score related to the Anti-Wade Alliance with you here today! Back then, you were the one running around fanning the flames to set up the Anti-Wade Alliance to go against my father, right?"
Sheldon created an excuse for himself as he said, "The Anti-Wade Alliance was just a way of saying something back then. This is just like how the airlines have a Sky Alliance and a Star Alliance. Everyone is just competitors who are targeting each other. So, what's the big deal?"
As soon as his voice fell, Charlie suddenly stood up as he got up from the sofa. Before Sheldon could come to his senses, Charlie rushed directly toward him as he grabbed his collar. After that, he used his other hand t o give him a tight slap across his face. 6
The sound of the slap rang out loudly...
Sheldon's entire left face suddenly swelled up, and a bright-red mark of five fingerprints and a palm appeared instantly on his face.
At this moment, Sheldon was completely stunned because of the slap, and he roared hysterically, "You... you actually dared to hit me?!" 4
Charlie had an astonished look on his face as he asked, "Why? You do not know the answer to that question yet?"
After he was done speaking, Charlie gave Sheldon another slap across his face. There was a loud slapping sound, and this caused Sheldon to spurt out blood directly.
