Carmen hurriedly said, "Don't be in such a hurry. I'd like to trouble you with another matter. Tom's father would like to talk to him on the phone. Do you think that it'd be convenient for you?" "Talk on the phone?" Charlie frowned before he glanced at Tom, who was kneeling on the ground in fear and trepidation, as he turned on the speaker directly and said, "How about this? Tell his father that he can talk to him over the phone, but he will only be able to talk to him for up to two minutes. Will that be fine?" "Yes." Very soon, Zacheus, who had received Carmen's reply, called Tom's cell phone.

After Charlie answered the call, he immediately turned on the speakerphone as he handed the cell phone over to Tom.

Zacheus, who was on the other end of the line, asked tentatively, "Tom, are you there?" When Tom heard his father's voice, he broke down emotionally as he cried and said, "Dad! Save me, Dad! There is a man here who wants to sendoff to work as a crew member on a ship for three years! He will not even allowto get off the ship throughout the three years. Dad, please find a way to saveand bringback!" Zacheus said awkwardly, "Tom, I'm afraid that I might not be able to help you with this matter." "What?!" Tom instantly broke down as he shouted out loud offhandedly, "Dad! I still have to attend Quinn's concert, and I'll have to prepare for my own concert next season! You cannot just abandon me, Dad!" "Why are you still thinking about sgodd*mned concert at this time?!" Zacheus reprimanded him out of exasperation as he said, "When will you finally grow up and be a little more mature?! Don't you think that you've already caused enough trouble? Don't think that I'll be able to clear up your mess for you every tyou cause trouble. Lettell you the truth. I won't be able to help you with the trouble that you've caused this time. You'll have to clean up your own mess on your own! If you cannot do that, you should just behave yourself!" Tom burst into tears as he sobbed, "Dad! You cannot be so heartless! You cannot just abandonwithout trying to save me, Dad!" Zacheus was exasperated because his son really could not live up to his expectations at all, and he wrung his hands as he rebuked him, "Tom! When will you finally grow up? I am already making things so clear, but you still have not realized that there is nothing else that you can do about this matter! What you need to do now is not begto save you or scoldfor being heartless, but you should learn a lesson from this painful experience and reflect on your own problems. After that, you should behave yourself and perform well over the next three years!" Tom could not help but raise his head to look at Charlie as he thought desperately to himself, 'It seems as though this Charlie Wade's strength is indeed much stronger than what he thought. Otherwise, it would be impossible for not only Carmen Wade's pleading to be useless, but even my father cannot seem to do anything at all... It seems as though I'll really have to spend the next three years of my life at sea, then...I really cannot escape...' At this time, Charlie spoke up and said, "That's enough. It's about time. You can just stop talking here." 2 Zacheus, who was on the other end of the line, hurriedly pleaded, "Young Master Wade, this stubborn and mischievous son of mine must have really caused you trouble. I'll have to trouble you to discipline him On my behalf in the future..." Charlie laughed and asked him, "You seem to be very familiar with my aunt?"

Zacheus hurriedly said, "Yes... She has been my old Id glassmate and old friend for many years now." 2

Charlie snorted, and he laughed as it seemed as though he had seen right through them. After that, he said faintly, "You can actually make my aunt, who is extremely selfish and egocentric and cares for her own image and reputation more

than anything else, get off her high horse and put aside her hatred forto plead and intercede on your behalf in such a lowly and humble manner. I think that the relationship between the both of you should not be as simple as merely the relationship between old classmates and old friends. Will you suddenly end up X
