Charlie had never been one to protect others. His father-in-law's recent actions had dealt a severe blow to his reputation, and he showed no remorse. Consequently, Charlie could no longer secretly aid him.
With that in mind, Charlie made the decision to let his father-in-law do as he pleased. He had chosen to let go.
On the other hand, Peter spoke up for Jacob at that moment and said, "Master Wade, I can somewhat understand why Mr. Wilson did what he did. When he 'broke' that vase, it was actually because of my scheme. I had someone hit him to make it more believable. It's only natural that he resents me."
Charlie nodded and sighed, "It's understandable to hold a grudge, and seeking revenge is also understandable. However, the method he used was indeed somewhat inappropriate. Even so, I don't think there would have been a significant issue if he had simply wanted to restore his dignity from you. The problem lies in his inability to know when to stop."
"Before Zachary exposed this incident, he wasn't really at a disadvantage. Although he sold a valuable item at a low price, the item itself was sold to him by someone else. He even made a net profit of 200,000 dollars. The problem is that once he found out the bronze Buddha was sold at a high price, he wanted it back. If he hadn't taken it too far, I wouldn't have let Zachary expose this incident."
