The pride that Charles Warner had buried deeply within his heart rose rapidly as Sierra Summers called him uncle, instantly growing into a towering tree, overwhelming his inner self to the point he could hardly breathe.
Of course, he knew it was his own doing, a consequence of his own actions!
But how could this young girl make it sound so simple!!?
If it were truly that easy, why couldn't he resist temptation back then, insisting on clashing head-on with Caleb Sterling, only to realize he lacked the necessary skills.
He refused to acknowledge his own inadequacy.
Charles Warner came today because he had vaguely heard that Caleb Sterling recently took in a mistress. If he could plead in front of this mistress, Caleb might take pity on this account and show mercy to his entire family?
As it turned out, this mistress was even more ruthless than Caleb Sterling!!
