Charlie's words made Spencer and Xavion's faces turned pale.
They had already vaguely guessed that it was likely that Homer had caused some big trouble. However, they had not been able to figure out what Homer had actually done due to their limited knowledge and time.
After hearing Charlie's rebuke, it seemed as though Homer had also taken a lot of lives, which instantly caused the both of them to feel terrified.
Spencer hurriedly said, "Mr. Wade, I really know very little of Homer's affairs! I've never heard of the things that you just mentioned before, a-and..."
As Spencer spoke, he subconsciously glanced at his son, Xavion, who was next to him. He felt torn for a moment before he decided to go out of his way and say seriously, "And... I was not the one personally disciplining Homer ever since he was young. I've never been involved much in his growth and cultivation. It was my son, Xavion, who was responsible for Homer's education and cultivation..."
When Xavion heard this, he shuddered in fear. He never would have dreamt that his father would still be holding a grudge against him for what had happened in the afternoon and that his father would not forget to push the blame on him.
So, he could only say with trepidation, "Mr. Wade, to tell you the truth, I've never paid enough attention to Homer when he was growing up. This child has been attending an aristocratic school ever since he was a child, and he has been sent to boarding schools ever since he was twelve or thirteen years old. He is rarely home, and his mother has also always been arrogant toward him, never disciplining him...”
Xavion's wife also panicked at this point, and she blurted out, "Xavion Fox! Why are you dragging me down with you?!"
Xavion hurriedly said, "No, no, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that... the both of us have really been negligent in disciplining our children..."
When Charlie saw this family throwing the blame at one another, he sneered, "Since the Fox family likes to shirk their responsibilities from generation to generation, I will get another person to come over and see if he is also as irresponsible as you guys!”
After saying that, Charlie looked at Porter and spoke up, "Porter, bring those people in!"
