She could not help but criticize him in her heart, 'If you did not plan on letting Tom go, you could simply have said that you cannot forgive him and that it'd be useless for anyone to beg for mercy, right?' 'But you just had to forceto admit that I did not cto plead for mercy on Tom's behalf in front of Tom. Aren't you settingup for injustice? Perhaps I might be his stepmother in the future! If I were to fall for your trap because of this matter, wouldn't this child hold a feud againstin the future, then?' So, Carmen could only bite the bullet as she pleaded," Charlie, this kid, Tom, is actually quite a good person. He is simply a little too bad-tempered at times. I hope that you will be willing to forgive him and let him off this once on my account." Charlie smiled as he spoke, word for word, "I'm sorry, Aunt, but you really do not deserve such great respect!" As he spoke, Charlie's voice beccold and stern as he said, "If you did not cto Aurous Hill and act all high and mighty back then, I'd certainly have honored you and shown you respect since you are my elder." "But your mistake is that you are too self-righteous!" "You're constantly very supercilious as though the whole world has to obey all your commands!" "I do not care how domineering you are elsewhere, but it will not work in Aurous Hill!" After being reproached by Charlie, Carmen felt extremely depressed, but she did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, and she could only say conciliatorily," Charlie, I know that I have had many faults in my aspects in the past, but after a reflecting on myself for stime, I have already deeply realized my own mistakes..." As she spoke, Carmen then added, "As for Tom, I believe that he was also just momentarily confused. Give him a chance to change, and he will also definitely be able to realize what his own mistake was. He will certainly be able to..." 5 Charlie interrupted her words directly as he said indifferently, "Alright, that's enough. You don't need to continue pleading on his behalf anymore. It is impossible for an arrogant and domineering rich heir like him to truly realize what his mistake was." 1 Tom cried as he said, "Mr. Wade, I know I was wrong. I was the one who offended you because I was blind to the fact and failed to recognize your greatness. I will not do it again, so I beg you, please letoff this tH Charlie sneered and said, "Look. The fact that you think that it is because you were blind to the facts and failed to recognize my greatness proves that you did not even realize what your real mistake was! What do you mean by being blind to the facts and failing to recognize my greatness? It means that you are not treating everyone equally, but that you're only going to treat people according to their social status! If a person is stronger than you, you will act favorably to try and please them, but if a person is weaker than you, you'll only be trampling all over him. I absolutely cannot allow a piece of trash such as yourself to be released back into society before you've changed completely!" With that being said, Charlie took the cell phone from Tom's hand as he spoke to Carmen, who was on the other end of the line, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Tom Zielinski's father. So, I'll have to trouble you to deliver a message to him on my behalf." Carmen hurriedly said, "You can go ahead and speak u p. I'll definitely convey the message to him!" Charlie then said, "It is not entirely impossible forto let Tom Zielinski off give him two options. The first option is for him to stay in Aurous Hill for the tbeing. When my shipping company starts, he will go and work on my ship directly as a seaman for two years. He will not be able to disembark for two years. I'll let him leave when the two years are up!" When Carmen heard this, her eyelids started twitching! Two years as a seaman?! Wouldn't he have to suffer a lot of hardships, then? Tom was on the verge of collapsing when he heard these words.
He really would not have expected Charlie to actually be so ruthless!
He was a celebrity in the entertainment industry, and he would have to continue working in the m entertainment industry in the future. So, if he were to agree to go on a ship to beca seaman for two years, wouldn't his career in the entertainment industry be completely over?! 1
Moreover, he would not be able to get off the ship for two years. What was the difference between this and being v.el lacked up in prison for two years, then?! As he thought about this, he asked offhandedly, "What is the second option?!"
Charlie looked at him and said indifferently, "The second option is forto break both of your legs, and then X
