Novel1Claire was in jitters as she listened to their banter and interjected, "Mr. Murray, Charlie helps out a lot at home.
Also, please callMiss Wilson. Callingby my first nsounds very unprofessional." 3 "What does he do
at home, anyway? Go to the market? Cooking? Laundry?" Peter laughed sarcastically." Claire, if your husband has
a hard tfinding a job, my company happens to be recruiting security now. You can let him try." 2
Then, he continued with a mocking grin, "Claire, if | were you, | would not have married a man who doesn't even
have a secure job. | would have divorced this loser a long tago."
Claire frowned in dismay, but before she could speak, she felt an abrupt chill coming from beside her.
She turned around and saw Charlie stand up with a smile on his face as he said to Peter, "Mr. Murray, your
reputation precedes you. Now that I finally have the honor of meeting you, indeed, your personality matches
your reputation perfectly. | also have something to say to you, Mr. Murray." 2
Peter's lips curled downward into a frown. "What is it?"

He bet that Charlie the loser would not dare to do anything to him!
Charlie put his hands on the table, leaned forward
slightly, and said with a sly smile, "What | want to say i s, being a person, you can be useless or incompetent,
but you must have a moral standard! Because if you don't, you're not a human, but an animal!" 3
He then held the mushroom soup that had just been served with both hands and poured it over Peter's head, his
face blank and emotionless. 4
Peter wailed in pain and jumped up abruptly as the hot soup scalded his head and face.
Claire was utterly shocked by the commotion. She quickly composed herself and called the waiter to bring
napkins. 2
The steaming hot soup had scalded Peter's face, and it ran down his neck and into his clothes. The sticky soup
drenched his head and clothes, and there was even a piece of mushroom sticking to his glasses. Peter wailed
continually in agony and pain.
The manager rushed over with a few waiters and was stunned by the scene. He quickly ushered the waiters to
help clean up the mess.
Peter took off his glasses and pointed to Charlie, yelling, "What the f*ck!!!"
Then, he took out his phone and made a call.
"Hey, Willy, get sguys and cto Little Italy right now! | need to teach a poor bugger a lesson!" s
Upon hearing him make the phone call, Claire quickly apologized to Peter. "Mr. Murray, I'm so sorry. My husband
was a little agitated just now..."
"Stop your bullsh*t! He splashedwith soup! I'm going to make him kneel in front oftoday!" Peter huffed
angrily. 6

Claire hurriedly turned around and said to Charlie," Hey, go out first, letexplain this to Mr. Murray."
"Forget about him, let's go!" Charlie extended his hand and tried to take Claire's hand.
Instead, she frowned in dismay and pushed him away, saying in annoyance, "Mr. Murray is the boss of Millenium
Enterprise! He is very influential in the construction industry in Aurous Hill. He knows people, legal, and even the
underworld! Never mind that | can't get his investment, but there are sthings that you can't solve with just
your strength." 5
"It's just a small company, | don't give a d*mn."
"A small company?!"
Claire rolled her eyes, exasperated.
In the civil engineering industry of Aurous Hill, Millennium Enterprise was ranked in the top five. Its scale was
much bigger than the Wilson Group.
Afraid that Charlie might offend Mr. Murray further, her face was icy as she said, "Charlie, leave this to me. Go
out and wait foroutside!"
