Phoebe said this with more disappointment than surprise.
She had always had a good impression of Charles for he was a good student with good character and learning back then. After graduation, he should at least be a decent man.
But what Charles did tonight had really disappointed her.
Not only was he pompous and ostentatious at the class reunion, but also he sent some gang members after them for retaliation.
Charles was a twisted man now. After hearing Phoebe's question, he showed a ferocious expression. "Why should I do this? How do you still have the nerve to ask me why?!"
"You knew that I had planed and put a lot of effort into the class reunion tonight. Do you know how much I spent? Over a million! A whole million! Just so I could prove myself in front of my classmates and teachers, so I could get your attention! But what about you? You had ruined everything for me!"
"You must feel so good about what you had done at the reunion party. Even Quan Xi was like a good pappy in front of your husband. Feel good, right? Well, how about now?"
Charles got more excited and angrier as he continued, and the ferocious expression made him look like a beast. The gentleleness and elegancy of him were no where to be seen!
Phoebe clenched her teeth. "Then what do you want? Do you want us to apologize to you? If that's what you wante, I can say sorry to you right now."
Charles sneered. "You really think an apology would do? Hehe, Phoebe, are you that naive? Or are you just saying that to humiliate me?"
As he said this, he walked over leisurely and said to Tom, "I admit I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to know Forrest, but so what? Now you're still in my hands, hehe."
Tom narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "Charles, I advise you not to act rashly. Let it go. I didn't intend to steal your limelight tonight. Who knew you would invite Forrest over?"
However, it only made Charles even angrier. "How can you put it like that when you were the one who reaped the benefits? You really don't know when to stop, do you? Tiger, now, take him down!"
"Okay, Charles." With a wave of his hand, Tiger was about to pounce on Tom.
"Wait a minute!" Tom shouted.
Charles stopped the guys with a cry and said disdainfully, "What? Now you're scared?"
Tom's face darkened. He said to Charles, "What exactly do you want?"
"It's very simple." Charles looked triumphantly and began to laugh. "As long as you kneel down and apologize to me and call me grandpa ten times, I'll let you go."
Phoebe's face immediately changed and she scolded, "Charles, we were classmates afterall. Do you have to do this?!"
Charles smiled disdainfully and looked at Phoebe. "Classmates? So what? I'm telling you. He has to kneel down and admit his mistake, and I'll record the video and send it to the group chat. He was very good at pretending just now! I want to see how he can pretend in the future. As for you..."
Charles laughed and showed a lewd expression. He looked at Phoebe and swallowed. "Old classmate, don't go home tonight. Let's have some fun at the hotel later. Haha."
Hearing this, Phoebe was so angry and flustered that her body trembled.
"I don't have much patience. I'll count to three. If you don't kneel, don't blame me for being rude to you!" Charles's tone became cold and he began to count. "One, two..."
At this moment, Tom sighed and said, "You had your chance, but you didn't cherish it. Why?"
"You want to do this the hard way, do you? Tiger. Give him what he wanted!" Charles lost his patience and showed a ferocious expression again.
Tiger, the bald man, sneered when he got the order. He glanced at the two men next to him. Immediately, they began to stride towards Tom like a cat teasing a rat.
