Very soon, Lady Wilson arrived at Charlie's door in a very aggressive and overbearing manner before she pressed the doorbell directly.
Inside the villa, Charlie had just returned to the living room after putting the cake into the refrigerator.
Claire and her parents were still getting busy in the kitchen.
At this time, Charlie heard the doorbell, and so, he got up and went to the front door.
He glanced at the monitor, and he realized that the person standing outside in the courtyard was, surprisingly, Lady Wilson. So, he asked coldly, "Is anything the matter?"
When Lady Wilson heard Charlie's voice, she snorted coldly and said, "Let me in. I want to see Jacob!"
Charlie casually replied, “Sorry, but you're not welcomed here. Hurry up and leave. Otherwise, I'll look for the property security!"
"You!" Lady Wilson scolded angrily, "This is my son's house! So, am I not welcomed here just because you say that I'm not welcomed here? I will have to go inside today, then!"
Charlie laughed and said, "It’s true that my father-in-
law is your son, but you have to get something clear. This is my house, and this house is registered under m y name. The property rights also belong to me. So, if I refuse to let you in, you will not be able to enter. Do you understand?"
Lady Wilson was extremely enraged and furious because of Charlie's words, and she said, "Charlie Wade! Do you really think that you are still the same bullish Master Wade that you were? Don’t think that I d o not know that a charlatan like you, who makes a living by swindling and using tricks to mislead people, is about to be done for!"
Charlie could not help but laugh and ask, "Oh, my! Whoever told you that I'm about to be done for? How come I have not even heard about it myself?"
Lady Wilson sneered and said, "Charlie, do you honestly think that your little matter will be able to slip right through my sharp eyes?"
As she spoke of this, Lady Wilson had a contemptuous look on her face as she said, "Yes! I admit it! You really did fool a lot of rich and powerful people before this, but what you have to know is, which one of these people is not a giant among men? They could be deceived by you because they had just been momentarily blinded for a moment. They cannot possibly be unable to see the truth for the rest of their lives!”
The reason why no one had come to his house to send him any gifts today was simply because he had already greeted them in advance. Otherwise, according to his schedule today, where he would still have to go and see Quinn's concert after having dinner tonight, time would be so rushed. If another group of people was to come to his house to send him gifts, he would truly be badly battered and exhausted.
However, Lady Wilson did not know this.
She had concluded that Charlie was about to go down based on her own practical experience, and so, that was the reason why she had come over to mock and ridicule him so that she could avenge her past insult.
When she saw that Charlie was not saying anything, she felt that her guess was actually pretty close!
So, she looked at Charlie with a disgusted expression o n her face as she said, "I think that this villa of yours will be taken away shortly. Don’t say that I did not take care of you as a grandmother when your family ends up on the street, then. If Claire comes and grovels in front of me and apologizes to me, I will ask Wendy to arrange a job for her as a hostess!" 4
As she spoke, Lady Wilson had a smug look on her face as she said, "By the way, I forgot to tell you that our Wendy is now working as the general manager of the largest etiquette company in Aurous Hill, and she has a very bright future!" 4
