Claire felt a reluctance to shake Peter\u2019s hand, but with his offer extended, she knew it would be impolite to refuse. With a tight-lipped expression, she extended her hand hesitantly.<\/p>\n

Just as Peter was about to grasp her delicate hand with excitement, a large hand unexpectedly intervened, gripping his firmly.<\/p>\n

Peter froze, momentarily stunned. He looked up, his anger boiling over as he demanded, \u201cWhat the hell!? Who are you?\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire also raised her gaze, a bit dazed by the sudden turn of events.<\/p>\n

\u201cCharlie! When did you get here?\u201d she exclaimed.<\/p>\n

Quickly, she turned back to Peter and clarified, \u201cHe is my husband.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the mention of \u2018husband,\u2019 Peter\u2019s expression darkened, as if a storm cloud had settled above him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just arrived,\u201d Charlie said with a smile directed at Claire, then shifted his attention to Peter, feigning ignorance of the tension in the air. \u201cYou\u2019re Peter Murray, right? The boss of Millenium Enterprise?\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter responded with a sullen tone, \u201cYes, that\u2019s me. What\u2019s it to you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing much. Just wanted to point out that you\u2019re quite the lecherous, dirty old man!\u201d Charlie replied, his tone dripping with mock sincerity.<\/p>\n

Annoyed, Peter tried to pull his hand away, but Charlie\u2019s grip felt unyielding, as if it were made of iron.<\/p>\n

Peter hissed in pain as the pressure increased, feeling like his bones might snap. \u201cHey, let\u2026 let go of my hand! This really hurts!\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire, aware of Charlie\u2019s strength, urged, \u201cCharlie, please let go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, Charlie released his hold, casting a knowing smile at Peter.<\/p>\n

Peter\u2019s face was twisted in discomfort as he glared at Charlie, then turned to Claire with irritation. \u201cTell your husband to leave. I\u2019m not comfortable discussing business in front of outsiders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire hesitated for a moment before responding, \u201cCharlie is my husband. He\u2019s aware of my plans; he\u2019s not an outsider.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStill! I prefer to keep significant discussions private,\u201d Peter retorted, glaring at Charlie as if he wished him to vanish. \u201cBesides, he wouldn\u2019t understand what we\u2019re talking about anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire leaned in and whispered to Charlie, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you head home first? I\u2019m here for official business.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fine, I\u2019ll wait,\u201d Charlie replied, settling down beside Claire.<\/p>\n

Peter\u2019s frustration grew as he watched Charlie sit close to Claire, their arms brushing against each other. He felt exasperated, having almost secured Claire\u2019s attention, only to be thwarted.<\/p>\n

With a dismissive snort, he said, \u201cYou\u2019re the live-in son-in-law of the Wilson family, aren\u2019t you? You do know how infamous you are in Aurous Hill? Claire is working hard to support the family. We\u2019re discussing a potential collaboration, so please don\u2019t interfere and just leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter\u2019s tone was blunt and disrespectful, reflecting his disdain for Charlie, and he was eager to have him gone.<\/p>\n

Many in their social circle were aware of the so-called deadbeat son-in-law of the Wilson family, and Peter lamented the fact that a woman like Claire was tied to someone he viewed as a leech.<\/p>\n

Charlie frowned at Peter\u2019s condescending tone, his gaze icy.<\/p>\n

\u2018Claire\u2019? They were on a first-name basis now? She was not your wife, you jerk!<\/p>\n

Peter looked at Charlie with disdain. \u201cCharlie, if you\u2019re a man, don\u2019t get in Claire\u2019s way! Can you even help her? Do you have the funds for her company? Can you secure her a contract for architectural drawings?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf not, I suggest you find a job. You could be a deliveryman or a security guard. Don\u2019t just sit at home all day, suspicious of your wife like a pathetic loser!\u201d<\/p>\n
