When Adrian saw that his elder brother was agreeing t o his proposal so readily, he could not find any more reasons to cause any trouble for him anymore. Thus, h e ground his teeth and said, "Okay, then! We will wait for the results of your physical examination to come out later! If you have not fully recovered, I think it would not be suitable for you to continue assuming the role of the chairman of the board due to your physical health and condition. So, you should give up the position of chairman of the board so that a healthy person can take over the position as chairman instead!” 10
Charlie, who had not spoken at all throughout this entire time, simply smiled and said, "If a healthy person is required to fill up the position as chairman o f the board, I believe that neither you nor your brother would be able to meet this requirement either." 4
Adrian yelled out loud, "D*mn it! Stop talking nonsense here! I am in extremely good health!"
"Is that so?" Charlie sneered as he said, "If I've guessed correctly, you must have already lost your potency, right? You are not even fertile and yet you still have the face to say that you are very healthy? Does that mean being potent is not important to you at all?" 4
Adrian had been holding back all the anger and frustrations he had been feeling because of his
sudden impotence. Based on his character and personality, he would not have been able to tolerate it, and he would have already settled the account with Charlie.
The reason why he had been holding back, and the reason why he had not said anything to Charlie at all, was because he had placed his priority on taking over the position of chairman on the board. 2
However, he never expected Charlie to actually take the initiative to ridicule him because of this incident even though he had not even mentioned anything about it at all. This made him extremely angry, and he lost his composure as he blurted out angrily, "Charlie Wade! D*mn it! I have already investigated and looked into your background! You are nothing but a useless live-in son-in-law from Aurous Hill! Why are you showing off in front of me?!"
When Rogan saw that Adrian had already lost his cool and exploded directly, he also stood up as he ground his teeth and cursed, "Charlie Wade! What kind of method did you use to deal with us?! If you refuse to help us return to our normal state today, don't blame m e for not giving you face! Even if our elder brother is standing on your side, I will not let you off!" 3
Wrigley and Wilhelm, who were sitting at the farthest end of the conference room, had been suppressing the anger that they felt for Charlie all this while. They had not dared to say anything at all out of fear that they would be ruining things for Adrian and Rogan.
However, when they saw that their fathers were
already attacking Charlie, both of them stood up immediately. 3
Wrigley said viciously, "You are Charlie, right? If you don't give us a satisfactory solution for this matter, I will make sure that you return to Aurous Hill in a wooden urn!” 7
