As soon as Charlie’s words came out, Theodore shuddered with fear.
The reason why he had said all these to Charlie was because he had wanted to let Charlie understand that his family’s current business was not dependent on the Wade family, nor did he need any resources or help from the Wade family at all. Therefore, there was no need for him to come to Oskia once every three months to give Charlie a report.
However, Theodore would never have thought that after saying so much, Charlie would actually ask him t o stay in Oskia directly to help him instead.
Theodore was instantly filled with regret, and he really wanted to slap himself in the face!
After that, he had a miserable look on his face as he hurriedly said, "Mr. Wade... Please don’t take what I've just said seriously because I was merely bragging...”
Charlie had a calm expression on his face as he asked, "Oh? Is that so?"
Theodore hurriedly nodded repeatedly as if he was pounding garlic.
At this time, a middle-aged man beside Theodore had a nervous expression on his face as he spoke up and said, "Charlie... I'm Theodore’s father and your father's cousin brother, Herman Wade. This son of mine has
always loved to brag, and he basically fits the saying ' empty vessels make the most noise'. I don't know how many times I've already scolded him and told him not to brag blindly outside, but he simply refuses to listen t o me..."
As he spoke, he quickly smiled and said, "You're the head of the family now, so please do not hold it against a child like him who likes to brag..."
Charlie nodded slightly and muttered to himself, "Oh... After so long, it turns out that he was only just bragging?"
Herman smacked Theodore on his head and shouted angrily, "You b*stard! Aren't you going to hurry up and apologize to the head of the family?!"
Theodore did not look aggrieved after getting slapped but instead, he had a look of apprehension on his face as he said, "Mr. Wade... I was wrong. I should not have bragged in front of you... Please... Please do not hold it against me..."
Charlie waved his hand and said casually, "Sigh. Aren't all young people frivolous and vain? Who wouldn’t like to brag when they are young? I certainly would not hold something like this against you."
