Chapter 593 Stirring up a Discord

John shot Charles a fierce glare. If not because of his face was beyond recognition, his ferocious look
could be seen.

He knew very clearly that if he admitted, he would die, therefore he could only deny it. "No, they didn't
interrogate me. They beat me up because I bullied that woman. That woman seemed to be Armand
Bernie's girlfriend."

After Armand beat him, he understood the reason why Armand was angry. He cared about that woman
very much and she must be his girlfriend. That was why he was so angry that he wanted to kill him.

John hugged Declan's leg. "You have to believe me. That goddamn lame is just trying to stir up a
discord. You must not believe him."

Declan squatted down, raised his chin, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did they really not interrogate
you?"

John shook his head. "No, even if they did, I wouldn't say anything that’s against you."

Declan snorted. "If you dare to betray me, I’ll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!" Declan's evil
words made John shuddered.

Charles watched them quietly and was not provoked when others struck his sore spot. He had gone
calm towards it after hearing it several times.

"I’ve fulfilled my promise. Shouldn't Mr. Bailey return my man now?"

Declan turned around, glimpsed at him and gave him an address to let him find his man by himself. He
asked his subordinates to send John to the hospital.

Charles did not leave immediately, but asked, "I suppose Mr. Bailey didn't harm my man?"



Declan shoved his hands into his pockets and smiled. "You’re a lame, what if I really did do it? I won't
do it if he’s willing to talk."

He interrogated the man named Tom and asked where John had gone. He kept his mouth tightly shut
and did not say anything. When he asked him whether Charles and Matthew knew each other, he
refused to say anything too. Declan got angry and he asked someone to beat him up.

Charles slowly clenched his fists on the armrests and he rumbled, "He's just someone who takes care
of me. He doesn't know anything. How dare you do it?"

Declan came over and looked at him up and down. Finally, he fixed his eyes on his legs, laughed, and
soon hid away his smile. "Why, do you want to avenge me?"

"If you’re willing to apologize to Tom, I can consider forgiving you." Charles directly ignored his eyes.

"Tut, you’re overestimating yourself!" Declan did not pay attention to Charles at all. The scoundrel of
White City was nothing in City B.

He asked his men to take John to the hospital.

Charles's eyes were cold and gloomy. He stared at Declan and said nothing in the end. He turned his
wheelchair and went towards the car.

He understood it was no use trying to sound harsh. Action speaks louder than words.

He got into the car under the help of the chauffeur. He then asked the chauffeur to take him to the
place where Tom was captivated.

He did not look good. Tiana sat beside him and held his hand. "It's alright. Let's go back to White City
today."



She did not want to be here. She was afraid something else would happen.

Charles smiled blandly and reached out to touch her cheek. "Why, you don’t want your parents
anymore?"

"I can come back anytime I miss them, and they could come visit me too." She was inexplicably upset.
She just wanted to leave quickly. "That's what my mother said too. She hoped we can go to White City."

Charles looked up at Mrs. Meyer.

"That’s what I thought. This place is full of troubles. You'd better take Tiana to White City. Your father
and I could visit you when we miss you both." Mrs. Meyer expressed her attitude.

It was not far from White City anyway, and the transportation was convenient now.

"It's okay. I want to spend more time with you." Charles smiled, no one could read his real thoughts.

Mrs. Meyer was afraid that he cared about what happened this time and she said, "Well, since we’re
the ones who lost track of the person first, it's reasonable for him to be angry. Everything's all right now,
so let's pretend nothing has happened."

Mrs. Meyer did not directly ask about the relationship between Charles and Matthew in front of her
daughter.

If they did not have any relationship, Charles would not hand Declan's man to Matthew.

Even though they did have something to do with each other, Matthew did not act too friendly to
Charles.

She was not sure what the relationship was between Charles and Matthew.



"I know, mom. The reason I want to stay is not because of Declan, but because I want to spend more
time with you and dad with Tiana. You only have this one daughter, and since you’ve now let me take
care of her, I hope I can treat you with filial piety with her." The reason he said that was to stay in City
B. Tom was beaten because of him, and he could not pretend nothing had happened at all. Declan
must apologize to Tom!

Charles had a limp. The reason he could manage such a large company and his capability was
convincing was because he had strong insight. He knew Mrs. Meyer must doubt the relationship
between him and Matthew.

He then explained, "Mr. Nelson and I are friends. But because I’ve done something wrong, he has held
some grudges against me. This time, I took the initiative to give him the person he wants. I just want to
show goodwill, hoping we could turn fighting into friendship. Yet I didn’t expect that Declan will catch
me and ask you for the person, leading to this."

Whether true or false, he needed only to explain things reasonably and let Mrs. Meyer believe it.

He did not mean to cheat. He could not possibly tell them his thoughts on Dolores, could he? Plus, he
will try his best to forget her and treat Tiana well in the future.

Mrs. Meyer said, "Is that so? No wonder their attitude was so cold when I asked them for the person."

Charles did not utter a word. At this moment, the chauffeur had driven the car to their destination, a
building about to be completed. Tom was captivated there by Declan.

He asked Mrs. Meyer and Tiana to wait in the car and then got off to find Tom with the chauffeur.

Declan had already been there and left, leaving Tom inside alone.



There was a fully built wall without cement. The wall consisted of red bricks. All kinds of construction
waste were scattered on the ground, and Tom was left among those messy sundries.

Tom was beaten up severely, but his face was not hurt. The wounds were all on his body. After his
guards left, he was dropped onto the ground.

The chauffeur went to untie the rope on him. He opened his eyes and saw Charles. "Mr. White."

Charles asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Tom could not stand up. He can only stand up with the help of the chauffeur. His body hurt when he
moved. He said, "The injury still won’t cost my life."

Charles said, "I'll take you to the hospital."

The chauffeur carried him to the car. Mrs. Meyer said, "Please drop me and Tiana at the front."

Charles said, "OK, I'll take him to the hospital."

That was what Mrs. Meyer meant. Knowing that Tom was going to the hospital, it was inappropriate for
her and Tiana to follow.

"I want to go to the hospital with Charles." Tiana did not want to go home with Mrs. Meyer. She
preferred to stay with Charles.

Charles did not refuse.

Yet Mrs. Meyer did not want her daughter to wander around outside. "Please go home with mommy."

Tiana took Charles's hand and shook her head. "Mom, please go back by yourself. I'll accompany
Charles."



Her attitude was firm and Mrs. Meyer could not force her anymore. She sighed and agreed.

Mrs. Meyer was dropped at a crowded place that was easy to call a taxi.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Meyer, Charles asked the chauffeur to drive to the hospital. Tom was
admitted into the hospital. The doctor checked and said that there was no life-threatening situation, it
was all outer injury.

Knowing Tom’s situation was not critical, Charles left the hospital and paid a nurse to take care of Tom.

He indeed had no power in City B, but that did not mean he could consent to the fact that his man had
been beaten.

Tom had been staying by his side like his family, how could he just let it be?

Your enemy's enemy is your friend.

Matthew happened to be Declan's enemy. It could be a time for them to cooperate.

He came to the WY Group, but did not find Matthew.

Meanwhile, Matthew and Boyce had gone to a private club when they heard that Declan was there.
