Charlie laughed and said, "Oh? If you want a chance to repent, do you know what you did wrong, then?"
“This..." Spencer clasped one of his hands over the other as he said, "My mistake was that I shouldn't have underestimated and neglected you, Mr. Wade... Please do not hold it against me!"
Charlie retorted coldly, "Spencer Fox, you have committed at least five deadly sins! Arrogance is only one of them. Do you know what the other four are?"
Spencer said in a terrified manner, "Mr. Wade, I am an honest and practical person who does my duty in a down-to-earth manner. It is true that I am arrogant because of my high position, but how can there be seven deadly sins to speak of...?"
Charlie said coldly, "You think too highly of yourself, and you look down on everyone else. This is arrogance!”
Spencer hurriedly nodded repeatedly as he said, "Yes, yes... Mr. Wade, you’re right!"
Charlie raised his volume a little and said in a stern and sharp voice, "You seek power and gains through unscrupulous means! This is greed!”
Spencer was stunned, and he froze as soon as he heard Charlie's words. He did not expect that Charlie would mention his own pursuit of power and gains, and he could not help but think to himself, 'Could
Charlie Wade have been here before I took over my father’s position as the head of the family?’
Just as he was panicking, Charlie continued, "If you were a servant, you would be disloyal if you committed the following crimes!"
"But as a son, you forced your father away, and that is unfilial!"
Spencer’s face had already turned pale by the time Charlie had said this.
