Cain's mockery was unexpected and shocking.
The mockery not only targeted Charlie, but also the people who paid their respects to Charlie. 1
Albert almost burst into flames of wrath when Cain came out of nowhere with his senseless insult. He glared at him and shouted coldly, "Cain Lloyd, do you have a f*cking death wish? Do you want me to carve words on your forehead just as I did to your son?!" 3
Charlie realized the cause of this direct mockery the second he laid eyes on the outraged Cain.
This man was Marcus Lloyd's father.
Marcus, the rich kid with his catchphrase 'pathetic jerk', the young man who had provoked him at the Champs Elys Resort which resulted in a miserable ending-Albert had carved the words 'pathetic jerk’ on his forehead as directed by him. 4
He didn't expect to bump into the young man's father a t the Moore family’s banquet, let alone be insulted by him.
Cain exchanged a hateful glare with Albert and said, “ Albert Rhodes, don't you be so f*cking cocky and bossy! Do you really think I’m scared of you?!" 6
Then, he pointed at Charlie and said viciously, "I don't get it, why a deadbeat loser like you who can only
survive by mooching off your wife and in-laws can be here! And why are all these people complimenting you and calling you 'Master Wade'? What the hell?! Are they all f*cking blind to the point they cannot see what kind of a loser you are?" 6
His rude remarks infuriated the crowd, and they were all prepared to jump at Cain, but Charlie stopped them and said flatly, "Everyone, today is Lord Moore's birthday, please don't do anything silly and make a fool out of yourself." 1
Then, he turned to Cain and said with a smile, "I was wondering what kind of idiot produced such an arrogant son like Marcus, and now that I see you, I finally know why." 3
