Chapter264
Theresa didn’t really think she would ever have the nerve to show up in front of Charlie again, yet he just had
sufficient
bargaining chips in his grip to force her to do that, say, children.
Jonathan implored Theresa earnestly, “Could you be merciful enough to rebuke less in front of him, madam? It’s
actually very easy to calm Mr. Calsis down, just by coaxing him with a good word. You could well think you are doing
that for the sake of your father’s business…”
“Enough, Jonathan.” Theresa stopped him disapprovingly before she entered the private box.
The two boys were sitting at the table, peeling some fruit, while Charlie was sitting aside with some tea in the front,

though relishing it. The rich could just enjoy the service which common people dared never to imagine, say, lolling
in the VIP private box when you couldn’t even get a ticket downstairs.
Theresa located an empty seat and made a cup of tea. She put down the cup after taking a sip, just to find Charlie
was
staring at her. Yet she just kept her eyes downcast unheedingly, and was about to take out her phone.
“Do you have to be going with Roderick?” Charlie finally uttered. He did warn her to keep away from Roderick and
she just didn’t give a damn about it even when he was threatening with the business of the Cameron family.
Theresa retorted, “I didn’t know you would show up, as I thought you must have been too engrossed watching your
fiancee to remember me. I would have kept distance from him should I know you’d go backstage.” But her
undertone was clear enough that she would only obey his order in front of him, while doing whatever as she liked
behind him.
Facing such a stubborn woman, Charlie could only take his eyes off her and say grimly, “You are just being willful,
taking advantage of my favoritism to you.” Others could have died for a thousand times on that occasion, he
indicated, as he really had tried hard to stifle his anger just now.
Theresa paused. She regarded him, who was gazing at somewhere far away solemnly and chillily. She then started
to peel an
grape.
Seeing that, Leonard went up to her and opened his mouth out of reflection. Theresa complained jocosely, “You just
enjoy the service of others like your father.” He simply couldn’t live without the service of others!
Yet little Leonard glanced at Charlie coldly, “I’m different from him.”
Charlie raised his eyebrows. “What did you say?” The hint of dislike in Leonard’s words was so apparent that it

Charlie bawled in his heart.
Leonard swiftly hid behind Theresa, only watching Charlie in fear, though still with no intention to take back his
words. What an obstinate boy, huh, thought Theresa, and his character was so opposite to his cunning brother.
Charlie hit the bell which beckoned Jonathan inside. “Get Leonard out.” instructed Charlie.
Theresa rose to her feet. “Then I’ll leave with him.”
“Are you against me on purpose?” Charlie glared at her.
“Only because you are so arbitrary.” replied Theresa. “No one told you that you are just like a tyrant? Anyone who
goes against you is to be punished, even when it’s only a little boy?!”
