Jacob had been watching silently from the corner as his son-in-law turned things around and brought about a radical change, reversing the course of events. He was extremely shocked. 6
He could not understand how Charlie could be so strong nor why he had such a strong aura around him.
This Charlie was completely different from the Charlie that was always being yelled at and reprimanded by Elaine at home. 5
At this time, Charlie stepped forward before he asked, " Dad, are you okay?" 4
Jacob hurriedly shook his head as he said, "Yes, I'm fine. Fortunately, you came in time. Otherwise, I would have suffered a very terrible fate..." 7
Charlie smiled slightly before he said, "Dad, I am truly thankful that you are fine. I have already taught those people a lesson. Are you satisfied now?"
"Satisfied! I am very satisfied!" Jacob nodded repeatedly. After that, he asked with a worried expression on his face, "Charlie, don't you think that you were being a little too cruel just now? Aren't you afraid that... the Webb family will try and retaliate against you?" 6
Charlie smiled as he said, "You cannot be afraid of revenge and retribution when dealing with people like
the Webb family. They will kill you even if you do not provoke them. So, why don't you play along with them instead? Don't you agree with me?"
Jacob replied, "That is true, but I am still a little worried that they will come and stab us in the back. After all, we are not as wealthy or powerful as the Webb family. If they really come at us, we might be at the losing end."
Charlie waved his hand before he said, "Don't worry, dad. I will definitely protect Claire as well as ensure mom’s and your safety. You can rest assured." 4
Jacob nodded when he heard Charlie's words. 1
Charlie continued speaking, "By the way, dad, to not make Claire and mom worry about this matter, we should not tell them anything about this when we get back home later." 6
"Yes, yes!" How could Jacob possibly have the courage to tell Elaine about this?! If Elaine ever found out about this, wouldn't she create a big scene over this matter? When that time came, she would turn the whole world upside down then. 1
Charlie finally relaxed a little.
