Take Me Away

At Wen family residence

The moonlight was shining through the window as Charles walked into the living room. Ryan, about to go upstairs after he had his dinner, stopped when he saw his brother. "Charles, you came back."

All the servants and housekeepers greeted Charles in unison.

"Hmm." Charles nodded at them casually.

"Mr. Wen, would you like to have some dinner?" the nanny eagerly asked him.

"No, thanks. You may leave now." Charles waved his hand at them but his gaze was on Ryan the entire time

"Yes."

"When did you come back from S City?" Charles asked casually.

"I arrived yesterday."

"And is everything going well?"

"Yes. Everything is fine. Anyway, if there's nothing else, I think I'll go upstairs," Ryan calmly replied.

"Don't you want to talk to me?" Slowly walking towards the living room sofa, Charles unbuttoned his shirt, with a faint smirk on the corner of his mouth. "I'm your brother after all, Ryan. We have a deep brotherhood. Shouldn't we be able to get along?"

"You've always regarded me as an outsider. Now that you are back from abroad, why do you suddenly seem to care about my business?" Ryan asked, frowning. "If this is about the family business, you don't have to worry. I have no plans of competing with you."

"Wow, I don't know if I should be relieved or sad hearing what you just said. You don't believe that I'm here for your own good?" Charles said, laughing.

"I really don't believe you."

Charles burst out into laughter. His voice had hints of both playfulness and gloom. "I don't care if you believe me or not, Ryan. But it seems like all my efforts have been in vain. It took me a while, but I watched Le Bar's surveillance footage."

Ryan's face turned white as a sheet. "You know about that?" he asked, staring at Charles. "Why would you check the surveillance footage? I honestly don't remember what happened that night. But if you want to tell Dad, then go ahead."

"You got me wrong." The smile on Charles' face was unfathomable. "You probably don't understand what I mean. You have no idea how much it surprised me. This girl, Leona, is really scheming!"

"What are you talking about?" Ryan's eyes were doubtful.

"Things are not always as they seem. Sometimes, what you see with your eyes is not the actual truth. And if you keep avoiding it, you'll end up falling into someone's trap." The smile at the corners of Charles' mouth deepened as he intentionally stressed the word "trap." He continued, "I still think that you and Fiona are more suitable for each other. Don't you like Fiona? And as your elder brother, I suggest you go have a look at it, or you'll surely regret it for the rest of your life."

that said, Charles headed towards the second floor. He meaningfully patted Ryan on the shoulder as he
