"Moreover... Moreover, not only did they humiliate me, but they... They even hit me!"
"Right now, my... My face is already swollen... after getting hit by them..."
"But in a few days... I’ll have to attend Quinn's concert a s her... as her special guest..."
"Face... If my face is so swollen, when the time comes... How could I possibly meet people like that?"
"I... I cannot possibly... I cannot possibly be wearing a face mask... and impersonate a masked singer, right?"
Carmen felt very powerless when she heard Tom crying so miserably over the other end of the line. 3
She sighed before she spoke up and asked, "Tom... how did you offend Charlie?"
Tom cried as he said, "I... I simply argued with him over the phone. I would not have expected that I'd get caught by his men as soon as I got off the plane..." 2
Carmen was extremely helpless as he said, "Tom, I'd have been able to help you resolve anything regardless of who you offended in Aurous Hill, but if the person you have offended is Charlie, there is nothing I can do about it!" 3
"Ahh?!" Tom subconsciously blurted out and asked," Why, Aunt Wade?! You're the eldest lady of the Wade family, and he is nothing more than the Wade family's distant relative. So, why can’t you afford to provoke him?!" 2
Carmen said awkwardly, "Tom, he is not the Wade family's distant relative. He is my second brother, Curtis Wade's son, Charlie Wade."
When Carmen’s words came out, Tom felt as though his brain was buzzing.
He had already heard of Curtis's great name ever since he was a child.
As for Charlie, he did not know much about him.
