At this moment, Loreen said to Dylan, "Cuz, let me introduce you to my college mate."

Charlie turned around with a wide grin on his face as soon as Loreen said that. The moment Dylan saw him, he opened his eyes so widely as if he saw a ghost! 4

He was so shocked that it took him a long while before he came to his senses. Then, he started gritting his teeth and growling, "Oh! Charlie Wade! I was about to go after your *ss, and now you even dare to show up at my grandma's house! I'll f*cking kill you today!" 5

Loreen shrieked in bewilderment and said, "Cuz, what are you talking about? Charlie is our guest... you can't talk to him like that!"

Dylan shouted, "Do you know why I had that surgery?"

Loreen blurted, "My mom told me that you swallowed a necklace."

"That's right!" Dylan shouted furiously. He added, "And why did I do that? It's all because of this motherf* cker!" 6

Charlie smirked. "Mr. Koch, please be reasonable and honest. Did I force you to swallow that necklace? Did I pry your mouth open and stuff the necklace down your throat?" Dylan kept quiet.

What else could he say? What Charlie said was true. He didn't force him to swallow the necklace.

Nevertheless, it was a bitter promise that he had to keep after losing a bet to him.

Charlie was certainly the main culprit behind the whole incident!

Thinking of this, Dylan cursed harshly, "Charlie! Stop your f*cking nonsense here! I'm going to settle the score with you today!"

Charlie ignored him. Instead, he turned to Lady Thomas, handed over the gift box, and said earnestly," Lady Thomas, this is the birthday gift Claire and I prepared for you. Please accept it." 4

Lady Thomas wasn't sure what kind of conflict Charlie had with her grandson, but she was an elder of a prominent family after all, so she put up a gracious manner and extended her hands to take the gift. She said, "Thank you. I appreciate it very much." 5

Dylan blew a gasket upon seeing Charlie ignoring him. He snatched the gift box from his grandmother's hand and chucked it on the floor. Then, he cursed while pointing at Charlie, "Hey, get the f*ck out of here and go back to Aurous Hill to prepare for your funeral!

I will head over to Aurous Hill in two days to kill you myself!" 5

Charlie maintained a poise expression on his face and said flatly, "Dylan Koch, I'm talking to you nicely for Loreen's sake, but please respect me and yourself.

Otherwise, I'm not going to be so polite anymore."

Loreen was also furious and scolded, "Cuz, what is wrong with you? Charlie is our guest! How can you kick him out of here? How can you throw away grandma's present!?"

With that, she bent down and picked up the torn gift box as well as the painting in the box.

Dylan huffed in a despicable manner. "What kind of good stuff can this f*cker give to grandma anyway? It's just a cheap painting! Only a loser like him can afford such lousy shit!" Lady Thomas sighed helplessly.

She knew very well about the nature of her grandson's character. From their argument, she could roughly figure out that Charlie might have had something to do with Dylan's surgery, but judging from this incident, it was probably Dylan's own fault, and Charlie should not be entirely blamed for it. 4

Therefore, she cleared her throat and said in a stern voice, "Dylan, you're a grown-up now; how can you talk in such an immature and rude manner? The gift represents a gesture from the heart, regardless of the price."

Upon hearing this, Dylan immediately took out a gift box from his pocket and opened it, revealing a greenjadeite carved Maitreya Buddha pendant.

The jadeite was in a shade of imperial green with excellent quality and texture. It was without any blemish. The carving was perfect, with a circle of diamonds around the pendant.

He gave the jadeite necklace to Lady Thomas and huffed. "Grandma, this jadeite pendant is made of a rare green jade worth at least 30 million. The lousy painting looks like something worth several hundred dollars that you can find in any tourist shop. Just put these two things together, and you can tell the difference! Garbage will always be garbage. No matter how nice he wrapped it, it is a worthless piece of shit!'
