Carmen never expected that Charlie would dare to talk to her like that!
Moreover, when she heard him say that he had the right to inherit a quarter of the Wade family’s assets, she was enraged in an instant! 2
Thus, she shouted sternly, "B*stard! You think too highly of yourself! Inheriting a quarter of the Wade family’s assets?! Who do you think you are?!"
Charlie said in a cold voice, "I am Charlie Wade, and m y father is Curtis Wade!"
Carmen rebuked, "Your father has been dead for so many years, besides, do you think you have what it takes to inherit the Wade family assets? Dream on! You don't deserve a penny of it!"
Charlie stared at Carmen and laughed coldly. "For how my father fought for the Wade family back then, he should even be the patriarch of the family! You, on the other hand, have absolutely no say in this. According t 0 the rules of the big families, a married daughter no longer has business with her maiden family. Since you have already married, you are no longer a member of the Wade family! Who do you think you are to criticize me?" 4
Carmen hated it the most when people told her that a married daughter was no longer associated with her
maiden family.
Even though she had been married ever since a long time ago, she had always been craving the Wade family's assets. Now that she had separated from her husband and was undergoing the divorce procedure, she had put her future hopes on the inheritance! 6
However, her brothers, Clayton, Caleb, and Chronos, had always been hostile toward her, and they often mentioned that she was no longer a part of the family after she had gotten married. They were obviously reminding her to give up the thought of the family inheritance because she was married and did not deserve an inheritance! 3
