Kathleen then said somewhat nervously, “Mr. Wade, how could I possibly sit on a seat higher than you when you’re here?! Why don’t you sit on the master seat instead?”
Charlie smiled faintly, waved his hand gently, and said, “You are the master of this family, so you are the biggest here no matter who comes. As a guest, I cannot take the master seat away from you.”
Subsequently, Charlie pulled out the seat opposite Kathleen and sat down directly.
Kathleen was suddenly at a loss for what to do, but Jordan, who was aside, then said, “Kathleen, you should follow Mr. Wade’s instructions. Mr. Wade is right. You’re the head of the Fox family, and there is no one else who is qualified to sit in that seat.”
Kathleen had no choice but to sit down.
In fact, in Oskian etiquette, what was most important was respect.
It was just like how whoever had the higher status would hold their wine glass higher when toasting at the dinner table. If someone did not have the qualifications and strength but was still holding his wine glass high, he might have to be taught a lesson on the spot.
Kathleen also did not want her seat to be higher than Charlie’s. She could not help but feel some chagrin as she thought to herself, ‘Why didn’t I think of this earlier? If I had thought about it earlier, I would have replaced all the seats to be the same instead... It seems like I will have to pay attention to this next time...’
After Kathleen was seated, Jordan slowly sat down next to Charlie. He was full of expectations at this moment, but he was also a little nervous.
So, he could not help but ask Charlie, “Mr. Wade, I wonder why you’re here tonight?”
Charlie smiled indifferently and said, “Thanks to the help given by Kathleen and the Fox family during this period of time, I managed to resolve a lot of difficult problems. So, the reason why I came here is mainly to thank you.”
Kathleen hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, it’s the Fox family’s honor to be able to contribute to resolving your problems. You don’t need to especially thank us for that...”
Charlie waved his hand. “I have to thank others as long as I’ve received their help. This is the way of life that my parents have taught me since I was a child.”
Ten years. This promise was extremely important to him!
So, he stood up, clasped one of his hands over his fist, and said respectfully, “I, Jordan Fox, would like to thank you for your great kindness and virtue, Mr. Wade! I will never forget it!”
After saying that, he was about to kneel.
However, Charlie reached out his hand to stop him and said seriously, “Don’t be in such a hurry to thank me, Lord Fox. I have another condition that you must agree to.”
Jordan hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, please speak up. Not to mention one condition, but I will not hesitate even if you have ten or a hundred conditions!”
Charlie said indifferently, “I want you to give up completely on bidding for the Rejuvenating Pill from now on!”
