Alexandrina grew angry at her relatives' jeers. She had brought Chuck here to shut her relatives up. However, she did not expect her mother to add in and join as they insulted Chuck together.
She was very displeased and felt sorry for Chuck.
"I'm living off my parents for the time being, but I have my own goals," Chuck explained calmly.
After he found Willa, Chuck would expand his business and make himself the richest man in the world.
"Goals? What goals do you have?" Miranda laughed at him. This was what she wanted to see all along. It was only when Alexandrina saw her boyfriend being ridiculed by her relatives that would she realize her mistake of choosing to be with him. How could she have found someone like him?
Chuck shook his head, "Let's not talk about that now."
Alexandrina turned to look at him. What goals did he have?
Of course, she knew about Karen's abilities. With Karen's current wealth, it was enough for Chuck to spend for a dozen lifetimes.
If his mother was rich, then he could live off of her for a long time.
"Are you embarrassed to tell me your goals? You must be looking to become a disappointment to your family. Tell me, who else is in your family? Let's see just how long you can live off of them for," One of the relatives mocked.
The Middleton family was extremely wealthy, and even the poorest amongst them had at least several million dollars worth of assets. To them, Chuck was probably from a poor family.
His family might have tens of millions of dollars. How long would that last him?
"From his appearance, he's not from a rich and powerful family. He doesn't have the elegance from a wealthy family at all. What a joke," Another man sneered.
"You're asking too many questions. What does Chuck's family have to do with all of you?" Alexandrina spoke out, unwilling to let them continue.
This was not acceptable. Only she could judge him, no one else could!
"Alexandrina, we're just asking him out of curiosity. Since he said he lives off his parents, he should be rich, right?" Someone laughed.
"That's right. If he is rich, why not allow us to witness it? We'd like to see just how rich he is."
Several other of her relatives burst out laughing. Of course, the smiles on their faces were filled with jest and mockery.
Just how could someone like Chuck be considered rich? There were probably tons of other guys like him in other families.
"You guys..." Alexandrina's gaze turned cold. Usually, she would restrain herself whenever she returned home. She had never revealed that she was the leader of an assassins' organization.
Today, these people were forcing her to show her hand.
"Don't worry, Alexandrina. They are your family," Chuck patted Alexandrina's hand and shrugged.
Alexandrina was startled. Wasn't Chuck angry at all?
Sure enough, Chuck thought that there was nothing to be angry about. All of them were Alexandrina's family members, and Chuck was reluctant to do anything to them.
It was not necessary.
"Chuck, are you upset? I'll give you some money and a hug when we get back, all right?" Alexandrina said.
She was sincere. After all, she could see that Chuck was being thoughtful for her sake.
If Karen's name was said out loud, her whole family would be shocked.
At the very least, Karen had an entire business empire here. As the boss of the assassins' organization, she certainly knew that some people in her family had worked together with Karen before, and they had all earned a sizable profit from that.
For this reason, everyone would be especially shocked when they figured out Karen was Chuck's mother.
Chuck smiled and agreed to her proposal, "Okay.” "Why don't you continue? Are you embarrassed?" Miranda was very aggressive.
The rest of the relatives urged him on.
They wanted to see how "rich" Chuck was.
"It's not that I'm embarrassed, I just don't have to say it. To put it bluntly, I can live off my family's wealth for another few generations," Chuck shook his head and replied with a calm expression.
"What? A few generations? Haha, are you kidding me?" Someone immediately burst out laughing.
Miranda sneered, "Yeah, that's only possible if you only spend a dollar a day. If that was the case, you would never use up your money. According to your logic, I could rely on my fortune for a million years, right?"
"Yeah, how dishonest. How can you say something like that? How insolent! It's no wonder he doesn't dare to tell us. He's afraid of embarrassing himself!"
Jeers and mocks filled the table continuously. All of them were aimed solely at Chuck.
