The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Charlie then texted Isaac Cameron from the Shangri-L a: [Who is this Jerome Hunt?]

Isaac replied almost immediately: [His family runs a business, they're mostly involved in the jade industry. They buy stocks or put them up for bidding. His power within the area is just as everyone claims as well. Why do you ask? Did he piss you off?] 4

Charlie responded: [Yeah. I've already asked Albert to handle this. But I do need a favor from you.] 2

Isaac replied: [Anything, young master!] 1

Charlie ordered: [I need you to bring Jerome's father to the hospital. Oh, and another old man who identifies antiques, his name is Lewis Rhys. Bring them to me.] 4

Isaac replied: [Yes, young master, I'll have them brought to you this instant!]

Charlie then responded: [You don't have to, just have someone else do it. I don't want people to notice that we know each other.] 1

Another text from Isaac showed up on his phone: [Alright then, young master. Do they need to be taught a lesson?]

Charlie texted back: [Give them a good beating first, then have them tied up and sent to me.] 4

Isaac complied instantly: [Yes, young master! I'll have

someone carry out your orders right this instant!] 1

Shoving his phone back into his pocket, Charlie turned to Jerome and Lily, speaking in a cold tone. "The parent would need to take the blame of a child's fault. I'll have both of your fathers brought here, let's see what they have to explain about your behaviour!" 1

Jerome's expression was grim. "I would advise you to not cross certain boundaries, punk, otherwise you'll really end up dead in a ditch once my men arrive!" 1

Charlie huffed. "Have you men hurry up, I'm very much impatient." 4

Just as Jerome was about to yell at Charlie, the door to the ward was flung open to reveal a beef-faced man with seven to eight underlings standing behind him. 2

Upon seeing Zazpi, Jerome immediately pointed at Charlie. "Zaz, it's this little brat! Teach him a lesson!" 1

The man named Zazpi furrowed his eyebrows, speaking in a cold tone. "So, you're the one who pissed my brother off?"

Charlie smiled coldly and nodded. "So what? Are you going to beat me up like he asked you to?" 1

Confused, Zazpi stared at him. It was an unfamiliar face. He had never seen Charlie before let alone know anything about him, and so, he didn't understand why Charlie did not fear him. 2 After a long pause, he asked cautiously, "Hey punk, where are you from?" 1

Charlie replied dismissively, "I'm from home." 4

Jerome then added, "Zaz, this brat is a boytoy. He lives off of women!"

Subsequently, Jerome whispered into Zazpi's ear, "Zaz, this brat has no background, you can beat him up as much as you want. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."

"A boytoy?" Zazpi laughed sarcastically. "Sure! Let's see if he'll still be able to live off women after I break his pen*s off!" 2

Without waiting for a reply from Charlie, Zazpi gestured to his underlings. "Let's kill this punk, d*mn i t!"

Jerome shot Charlie a cold smirk. "Hey, Wade, any last words?"

Charlie ignored him, merely staring at Zazpi and finally, he said coldly, "Kneel down and I'll consider forgiving your sorry ass." 2 Stunned, Zazpi dug his ear and furrowed his eyebrows. "What did you say? Repeat that and I'll promise you a swift death!" 3

At that very moment, a loud yell came from outside the door. "Zaz, Mr. Wade told you to kneel down, are you freaking deaf?" 3 Zazpi was startled. Don Albert had arrived!
