Elaine felt very triumphant as she shook the jade bracelet on her hand. “I have already sent a text message to some of my friends. Many of them are already jealous of me because of this jade bracelet, and now, I even have a big and luxurious villa!”
Charlie looked at the jade bracelet on his mother-in-law’s hand. In actual fact, that was the bracelet that Graham had given to him, and he had been planning on giving it to Claire in the first place. However, who would have expected that Elaine would take it for herself instead.

At the White family mansion.
Gerald was standing in the hall as he reported what he had just found out to his father over the phone.
After he was done speaking, Gerald hesitated for a moment before he raised his head and said, “Dad, is uncle confused? He did not even stay a single day in that villa, but he did not hesitate at all to give it to Charlie! You have to persuade him to take it back from Charlie!”
Gerald’s father had a solemn expression on his face as he continued to sit on the sofa.
Gerald had just informed him that his uncle had given the villa at Thompson First to Charlie.
He did not believe it at first, and so, he had gone to verify this information with his brother, Zeke, only to find out that Gerald’s report was true after all.
Moreover, Zeke had refused to tell him the reason why he had given the villa to Charlie. Instead, he simply stated that he owed the latter a favor.
What kind of favor could Zeke possibly owe Charlie that would make him give away such an expensive villa when he had always been an extremely stingy man?
At this time, Gerald’s father simply said, “I have already called your uncle. It seems as though he is very determined about giving the villa to Charlie. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that he would ask Charlie to return the villa to him.”
Gerald gritted his teeth before saying, “Dad, don’t you think that there is something wrong with Charlie? We have been investigating and looking into his background for such a long time, but it seems as though we can never find any news or information about him at all. Don’t you find that extremely strange?”
Gerald’s father pondered for a while before he replied, “Well, your uncle has always been a shrewd person throughout his entire life, and he would never reward Charlie for no reason at all. So, no matter what it is and even if there is really something wrong with Charlie, you should not provoke him in any way. I will check with your uncle tonight to find out everything about Charlie.”
“Okay.”

At the same time, Christopher and his wife were also very unhappy with Charlie. Consequently, they were complaining about Charlie to Lady Wilson right then.
Wendy snorted as she cried in front of Lady Wilson. “Grandma, I do not know what Charlie did to deceive the White family into giving him the biggest villa in Thompson First! That villa is worth more than one hundred million dollars! Moreover, he did not invite you to live in the villa, but he even drove our whole family out of the villa just now! Don’t you think that is too much?”
Lady Wilson was sitting on the sofa, and currently, she had a very displeased expression on her face as she snorted, “Yes! I agree that Charlie does not have any respect for his elders at all!”
“Yes, mom! Charlie is so shameless!” Christopher agreed with a calm expression on his face. “As one of the sons-in-law of the Wilson family, he should have naturally offered to share any good things that he has with you! The villa that you are living in, as well as the furniture, is already so outdated. We should have moved into a newer place with better furniture a long time ago. If Charlie really respects you, he would offer to give you the villa at Thompson First! He should allow you to enjoy and live in the villa.”
Lady Wilson’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard Christopher’s words.
After all, they had already been living in this villa for more than ten years. Even though the exterior of the villa was still very stylish, it was already an old property. Since it was situated in a bad location, the villa was worth at most ten to twenty million dollars.
The villa at Thompson First was definitely a hundred times better than this villa. Therefore, the old lady felt greedy immediately because she could never afford to live in a villa like that.
However, as soon as she heard the news that Charlie was the owner of the biggest villa in Thompson First, she had the same opinion as Christopher. She felt that as the head of the Wilson family, she should be given the privilege to enjoy the villa!
