“Please speak your mind.” Right now, Charles probably had his head in the clouds, imagining all the wonderful things and not realizing the annoyance Ethan displayed, and his attitude turned even more sycophantic.

Any good deal that fell between the fingers of a person such as Ethan was enough to last the Woland Family a lifetime, and he wasn’t ready to miss this golden opportunity!

Although Charles was already in his seventies, he seemed like a lapdog when he nodded and smiled at the twenty-eight-year-old Ethan, looking nothing short of ridiculous.

“From today onward, if anyone from the Woland Family, including you, makes Alice frown even just a little, I’ll skin the Woland Family alive.” Ethan parted his lips and enunciated each word slowly and clearly. He wasn’t loud, but the air of dominance and authority that he carried with him made one obey without any questions.

“Yes, of course…” Initially, Charles was still unaware, and his bootlicking attitude made him agree even more to anything that Ethan said.

No matter what Ethan said, he simply had to agree to it, but after a few seconds of concurring, he finally came to his senses and realized what Ethan meant.

He paused in stunned silence and looked at Ethan in bewilderment. The smile on his face slowly froze up, and he looked like an absolute joke.

At the end of the day, Charles had lived past seventy and wasn’t a dumb person. So, it finally dawned upon him what Ethan was speaking about as he finally regained his wits. “How are you related to my granddaughter?”

By bringing up that Alice was his granddaughter, Charles clearly wanted to draw the distance closer to Ethan and had forgotten that he wanted to toss her into the jail just minutes ago. He even wanted to kill her and had conveniently forgotten that he wanted to burn all bridges with her.

Even a person as composed as Ethan was taken aback by Charles’ thick skin. “You have no right to know.” By now, he couldn’t even be bothered to spare a look at Charles, whom he doubted was Alice’s family.
