Chapter 1177 Extra Story 67 Of Charlie Losing The Citadel
I mean...you're not eating too much, either..." "That's okay! I can eat your food if you can't eat them up. Aha!" At the thought of it, Evelyn didn't mind eating more.
That was just who she was. She got used to teasing and bullying the people around her. To be certain, others could treat her in the same way. They could naturally enjoy equal rights as long as they stood by her side. Puzzled by Evelyn's words, Elsa looked at her up and down, while her eyes widened in amazement. Then, she asked, "What the hell is your body made up of?" "She is a reincarnation of a hungry ghost,"
With a sly tone, Charlie replied very seriously. With that, Elsa shifted her gaze towards Charlie, puzzled by how he could have said that rudely and straightforwardly in front of his sister.
These past few days, she had seen that Charlie treated Evelyn very kindly. But sometimes, Charlie was rather sharp-tongued as if he didn't care about others' feelings at all. "Yes. I was born to eat." Upon hearing this, Evelyn shrugged her shoulders and then dialed Ezra's phone number. "Ezra, Elsa and I are going to send a list of food that we want to eat. We will arrive at Mr. Lu's home about half an hour later. I am sure that you know what you have to do. If we don't see the food after our arrival, I will break the promise for changing my family name to yours. Bye bye."
Evelyn conceitedly shook her head, and before Ezra could reply, she had hung up the phone.
Looking out of the car window, she was humming with pride, believing that she wouldn't have to keep her promise anymore. After all, the food listed was available from different areas of A City, so she was certain that it was impossible for Ezra to buy all the food over half an hour. She thought Ezra even couldn't make it over two hours. However, Evelyn was so excited that she forgot one thing.
That was, in this world, there might be something that you couldn't do, but you would be able to do everything if only you had money.
Marx ever said, "With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 percent will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 percent certain will produce eagerness; 50 percent, positive audacity; 100 percent will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 percent, and there is not a crime at which it will scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged."
To buy all the food listed by Evelyn within the given deadline, Ezra was willing to pay more than 300 percent to those taking errands for him. With so considerable commissions, it was beyond doubt that these people would deliver all the food to Shaun's house within the time límit even at the risk of running the red lights. Looking at Evelyn who seemed to have realized that she had to keep her promise, Elsa knew at heart that she shouldn't laugh at her.
But despite all her efforts of holding it back, she really couldn't help bursting into laughter, instead, she just hid behind Evelyn. "Alas, you are destined to marry me!" Patting Evelyn on her shoulder, Ezra continued, "In the games, you are no match for me, and failed to kill me within the given time limit. Now, I have ordered all the food for you as you requested. Hmm, perhaps we could go to get our marriage licenses tomorrow.
As you see, I am old enough to get married, while you've reached the legal age for marriage as well."
Grasping Evelyn by her wrist, Ezra talked to her very seriously as though he had been brainwashed. He didn't give Evelyn any chance to interrupt him at all.
It was not until this moment that Elsa had witnessed and recognized Ezra's eloquence as a lawyer. She inferred that he would be capable of confusing what was right with wrong when he was serious. "I can't even imagine what Evelyn's life could be in the future if she would indeed marry him."
With her eyes fixed at them, Elsa said with glassy eyes. Shaun poured a glass of wine for Charlie and then went to squeeze some fruit juice for Elsa. Thereafter, he said, "Evelyn is too valiant and tough, so she must marry a man who can keep up with her." Usually, he was very serious, but now he smiled and added, "She doesn't need a man who only knows how to spoil her. At least, the man that should marry her shall be as capable as Ezra, or else they will break up sooner or later."
While saying that, he pushed a glass of fresh fruit juice along the countertop towards Elsa. After giving her a quizzical look, he shifted his attention to Charlie immediately and continued, "I've tracked the IP of the professionals who played the games for After Your Birth. All of them are experts and nearly made my computer crash." "Who are they?"
With a serious tone, Charlie asked. Determined to defeat the team in the next game, Shaun shrugged his shoulders and responded, "Their IP is mobile.
If I didn't guess it wrong, they are hackers."
As Charlie finished his words, he looked down at the red wine inside the glass, an evil smile spread at the corners of his mouth that one shouldn't have given at his age. But he was so handsome that others cared more about his appearance rather than his natural disposition. "They could even hack the nearby Wi-Fi connection despite their use of mobile IP. How professional they are!"
Thereafter, Ezra took a seat beside Charlie. With a grin, he stared at Evelyn who was cramming some oden into her mouth angrily on the other side. "You talk about your businesses first. I am going to accompany Evelyn."
Holding the glass on her hand, Elsa couldn't even understand what the three of them were talking about. Since what the three men were discussing was none of her business, she stood up and walked towards the sofa with the fruit juice that Shaun had squeezed for her and Evelyn.
Seeing her move away from the counter, Charlie didn't keep his eyes off Elsa until she sat down on the sofa. Then, Ezra asked him, "You came here with Elsa, are you gonna spend the night together, too?" "Do you think all men are studs like you?"
Not surprised at all, Charlie sneered, his eyebrows raising a little. Judging from his reaction, Ezra was made speechless for a moment. Soon afterward, he angrily questioned, "What kind of person I am in your eyes?
I only have Evelyn in my heart. I think I made that very clear to you." "Oh..." Out of nowhere, Charlie came to realize something and blurted out, "Well, are you still a virgin?"
After he finished his words, he looked down at Ezra's crotch and added, "You have to go to see a doctor as soon as possible if there is any problem with your..." These words made Ezra speechless over again as he too looked down at his part. His cheeks turned scarlet red at the thought and an awkward expression was shown on his face. As a lawyer, Ezra was much more eloquent than Evelyn and could easily convince her to believe whatever he wanted her to believe. However, with this situation now that he had with Charlie, he felt helpless to cope with him. In fact, he could deal with him, but he just couldn't figure out how.
Shutting the idea off, Ezra just thought it was not worth arguing with Charlie at this moment, for fear that he would take Evelyn from him.
This was just the reason why Ezra had been made speechless by Charlie's words over and over again. He was thinking about Evelyn.
Instead of retorting and responding back to Charlie, Ezra behaved like a mature man who disdained to argue with Charlie. Gritting his teeth and pursing his lips, he said, "Shaun, hand me a glass of whiskey." Immediately, Shaun grabbed some ice cubes, put them into a glass, poured some whiskey and handed it over to Ezra and said, "I guess the whiskey would be useless for suppressing your anger." Intending to change the topic, he switched his gaze to Charlie and asked, "What do you plan to do?" Smiling back, Charlie responded, "I am just a toy boy. I can't do anything."
Apparently, he looked very innocent to describe himself that way. These words not only made Ezra speechless but surprised as well.
Even Shaun was shocked to hear those words from Charlie's mouth, which made him raise his eyebrows. Sensing their awkward reactions, Charlie shrugged his shoulders, looked back at Evelyn and chided, "Actually, Ezra has made a point." When the other two men were confused by his words, Charlie shifted his attention to Shaun and asked, "Which one do you think will be better? Shall I sleep with Elsa tonight or get married with her?"
Hearing his words, the boys that were following him with their eyes were completely surprised. Dazed and confused at the same time, they doubted whether Charlie was serious or not when he said those words. D
