PopularNovelCarmen was very clever indeed.
She knew that when so many people were equally guilty, whoever stepped up and admitted their mistake first
would have the upper hand.
Moreover, she also knew far more about Charlie's deeds as compared to the others, and she had even
experienced it more personally. She had also heard of how Charlie had dealt with several experts from the Webb
family from Sudbury before this.
Charlie had asked Albert to carve words on those few mens' foreheads, and whoever admitted their mistake first
would have lesser words carved on their foreheads. The number of words carved on the forehead of each person
after that would increase by one. It was said that when it cto the last person, the space on his forehead had
not even been enough to carve all of the words.
With these previous lessons learnt, how could Carmen allow others to kneel before she did?
Charlie also did not expect that Carmen would kneel so quickly. So, he spoke up, "You're my aunt, and no matter
what mistakes you've made, you're still my elder. Even if | am the head of the Wade family now,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt
the distinction between an elder and those who are younger cannot be messed up. So, you should not be
kneeling in front of me. Even if you kneel, you should be kneeling before the Wade family's ancestors!"
Carmen reacted very quickly, and as she knelt, she quickly used both of her knees to adjust the direction that
she was kneeling toward to face the Wade family's ancestral grave that was not far away.
Immediately afterwards, she knocked her head on the ground with a loud bang as she cried out and said, "My
worthy ancestors! Your unworthy descendant, Carmen Wade, has failed to put the reputation of the Wade
family's ancestors and the interests of the Wade family in first place! | nearly sold out and betrayed my own
ancestors for glory and regarded our enemy as my kith and kin. | have really let my ancestors down, and |
deserve to die for my sins! | beg for my ancestors to condemn me!"
Carmen was already completely convinced now.
Whatever dignity, reputation, 'old princess’ status or ' old baby' bad temper that she had possessed previously
had already dissipated at this moment.
She knew that the most important thing at the moment was to get Charlie's forgiveness. Otherwise, Charlie
would be able to make a daughter like her, who had already married out of the Wade family, expelled from the
Wade family immediately with just one word. In that case, all of her efforts would have been for nothing!
Charlie felt a little amused when he saw Carmen being so upright and proper.
However, he kept a straight face and
nodded with approval as he said, "Since you can be the first person to
admit your mistake and take the initiative to confess your sins to the Wade family's ancestors, this proves that
you're more conscious as compared to the others. So, your sentence shall also be reduced!"
As soon as Charlie's words fell, Clayton, Felix, as well as Caleb, Hugh, and the others, all ran like crazy in front of
the Wade family's ancestors’ grave. All of them tried to grab the most centre position as they knelt to the ground
with a thud wordlessly and began grovelling desperately to confess and admit
their mistakes.
In an instant, the rhythm of these people's desperate grovelling was just like those oil pumping machines that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwere commonly used for oil extraction, and it looked quite comical. Charlie did not say anything. Instead, he
simply stared at them blankly as he watched them scrambling to grovel and confess.
Charlie knew very well in his heart
that his aunt Carmen, was really convinced now. Since she was truly convinced, she would naturally be able to
continue remaining in the Wade family in the future to serve the Wade family. However, the group of people in
front of him were all cunning, and he could not let any of them off easily!
This group of people continued grovelling for a long time. The more they grovelled, the more they felt pain, but
at the stime, the more they grovelled, the more bottomless it was. They had originally thought that as long
as they behaved positively and piously, Charlie would definitely be as lenient with them as he was with Carmen.
Unexpectedly, even after all of them had been grovelling for a long time, Charlie had not even said a single word
by far.
There was no other choice. No one dared to stop, and they could only continue grovelling continuously, one after
the other, and they grovelled until their foreheads were already bruised. It was Charlie's youngest aunt,
Charlotte, who could not stand it anymore in the end, and she spoke up and said, "Charlie... If they continue
grovelling like this, it could cost a person's life..."
