Charles instantly felt as though he had just fallen from heaven to hell. He had a very anxious expression on his face as he said, “Uncle Zivon, I don’t want to go to Africa. You should also know that I’ve only just gotten married recently and I’m preparing to have a baby with Cecilia. I cannot leave at this time.”
“Uncle Zivon, I beg you. Can you give me a different form of punishment instead? Why don’t you arrange for me to go to the company to do odd jobs for you for a month instead?” Charles said in panic. After all, he would also be humbling himself and lowering his own status if he were to do odd jobs for a month.
However, the cold expression on Zivon’s face did not change one bit. He knitted his brows and said, “Punishment? Charles, you’re worrying too much about it. I already told you that it’s just a trivial matter and there’s no need for me to be angry about it. Moreover, I am asking you to go to the African branch because I want to promote you and I want you to exercise your ability there. It cannot be considered a punishment.”
“As for a child, this is the year of the rat and children born in the year of the rat are usually crafty. It’s not a good year. You should try to have a baby next year instead.”
Pfft.
Children born in the year of the rat were usually crafty. This sarcasm felt as if Zivon was stabbing Charles directly in the heart! The main point was that he could actually be so noble, friendly, poised and dignified even when he was being sarcastic!
Xavia felt as if she was about to spurt out a mouthful of blood when she heard this and she came to a conclusion in her heart. She could mess with anyone, but she should never mess with Zivon Burton!
Charles’ lips twitched fiercely at this moment. He really didn’t expect that his Uncle Zivon would still be so ruthless even though he had already admitted his own mistakes.
He wanted to cry but he didn’t have any tears, and he also wanted to look for an excuse to plead for mercy…
“There’s still something that I have to do today. You don’t have to worry about the air ticket. I will ask Nathan to make the arrangements for you,” Zivon spoke up coldly first. After that, he left together with Xavia.
Zivon didn’t give Charles a chance to refuse at all!
Boom! Charles sat down on his seat with a look of lifelessness and absolutely no desire at all.
Not too long after that, Dylan walked in and asked with concern, “How did it go? Your Uncle Zivon didn’t give you a hard time, right?”
Charles raised his eyes and his gaze was cold and indifferent as he said, “Uncle Dylan, there is no need for you to put on a hypocritical show of affection here. I will have nothing to do with you from now on!”
“Oh, by the way, I will definitely reveal everything about how you investigated Uncle Zivon one day when I feel unhappy.”
As soon as he said those words, Charles stood up directly and bumped into Dylan’s shoulder fiercely before knocking him and walking away.
“Damn it!” Things didn't work out for him. He even had a fall out with Charles and got threatened in the end!
Dylan was very angry and he kicked the stool. As a result, he used too much force out of anger and he could feel severe pain on his toes!
“Ahh!” Dylan screamed and jumped in pain.
