Wendy's criticism made Lady Wilson's legs go weak, and she nearly fell as she sat on the ground directly.

She would never have dreamt that the noble man who had brought her family back from the dead would actually be Charlie, whom she had always despised and wanted to look for an opportunity to seek revenge on!

This reality was as shocking as the big bang explosion in Lady Wilson's heart.

This was because she thought that the noble man who had helped Wendy could be anyone in the world, but it was unlikely that it would ever be Charlie.

However, that had to be the truth of the matter. 3

Charlie had to be the one who had rescued Wendy from signing the contract, and he was the one who had handed the entire Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation over to Wendy so that she could manage t. 2

Lady Wilson was feeling panicked and scared at this time. She came to a realization in the depths of her heart, 'The tone of my voice when I spoke to Charlie just now was indeed a little too arrogant. So, I do not even need to ask to know that Charlie must be very

angry at me now... Will he be so mad at me that he decides to kick Wendy out of Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation, then?! Wendy is currently the only hope for our family of four now! If Wendy loses her job and ends up being unemployed, wouldn't we end up being forced back to our original situation again?! When the time comes, wouldn't I have to go to the supermarket to pull plastic bags for customers again?!' 6

As soon as Lady Wilson thought of the consequences of offending Charlie, she became extremely terrified, and she immediately had a very flattering and selfcondemning expression on her face as she pleaded guiltily, "Oh... Charlie... This is all because I was too ignorant, and I failed to recognize what a person with more perception would have easily recognized. I really did not expect that you would reciprocate our evil with kindness, and you actually helped Wendy and us so much..." 2

As she spoke of this, Lady Wilson wept bitterly and pitifully as she choked up and said, "You returned our evil with kindness, and you even helped us, but I am truly a terrible old woman who is repaying your kindness with ingratitude, and I even came to clamor and yell at you on your birthday. I am indeed someone who cannot seem to distinguish between right and wrong... You are a broad-minded person who will not hold anything against a narrow-minded person. So, I hope that you will not hold a grudge against someone like me since I'm already so old, okay?"

When Charlie saw Lady Wilson's sudden change in her posture and demeanor, he could not help but sigh in his heart, 'This old lady does not have any other abilities except her acting skills. She can switch between being happy and sad in an instant, and she is even more of an actress as compared to a veteran actress! If she could just devote a little of her mind in this aspect and focus it on the serious matters, Wilson Group would not have ended up in such a state.' 3

However, Lady Wilson was already old after all. So, Charlie did not want to be so ruthless and unfeeling toward her to the end. Since she had already acknowledged her own mistakes, Charlie was naturally willing to give her a way out. 3

So, Charlie then said indifferently, "Alright, then. At the end of the day, you're still Claire's grandmother, and I do not wish to hold anything against you anyway. But from now on, you'd better remember to mind your own business. You and your family members should not come and cause my family any more trouble or discomfort. Otherwise, I'll not be so merciful anymore!"

Lady Wilson heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.

She had finally realized that Charlie was the one who had given her family of four their basic security of life. If she refused to repent even at this time, she was afraid that her family would have to starve and go out to beg for food out on the streets, then.

So, Lady Wilson hurriedly nodded her head repeatedly, almost like a chicken that was pecking on rice as she promised, "Don't worry, Charlie. I'll never replace fault with you and cause you any more discomfort in the future!"

As she spoke of this, Lady Wilson

then smiled as she said in a flattering tone, "Charlie, no matter what it is, we are all still a family after all. There were simply some unclear misunderstandings between us in the past. As long as we clear

Set

up those misunderstandings, we are stiffa family that is filled with love and affection. You are my grandson-in-law, and Claire is my granddaughter. Jacob and Elaine are also my son and daughter-in-law. So, in actual fact, we are actually really close relatives!"

At this time, Lady Wilson's face was already filled with wrinkles because of her wide smile, and she said in a somewhat low and humble voice, "Charlie, look. Grandma has already apologized to you now. So, it is time for both of our families to make up and reconcile with one another now. It just so happens that it is your birthday today. So, why don't we take advantage of this happy occasion so that both of our families can get together and enjoy a meal together? We can just bury the hatchet and let go of the past completely. What do you think?" 1

When Charlie heard her words, he simply smiled and sneered as he said, "We don't need to bury the hatchet and let go of the past completely. I do not wish to have anything to do with any of you, and it is also the same case for my family. So, you can just stop your wishful thinking."

With that being said, to put a complete end to Lady Wilson's thoughts, Charlie then seriously warned her," If you dare to disclose the matter today as well as the fact that I handed Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation over to Wendy so that she can manage it to Claire or my parents-in-law, I am sorry, but I'll take everything back, then!" 4
