The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Although he looked as though he was a happy person who was always smiling, this old man was, in fact, a downright miser.

He knew about Rudy's previous experience, yet he could still offer Charlie a price of merely two billion US dollars over twenty years. This showed that he clearly wanted money more than he cared about his life. However, Charlie did not really want his money.

For him, he currently only had two demands. The first was to make Shawn pay for the breach of his promise to his father, and the second was to make Shawn come up with compensation to make it up to Janus. The second matter could be solved with money, but the first matter was never a question of money.

Charlie would never use his father's name so that he could go and wantonly make money out of Shawn.

In Charlie's opinion, Shawn should pay a price other than money for this matter, and this price should include but was not limited to personality, dignity, and also physical punishment.

However, he did not want to let Shawn feel relieved so quickly. He would have to give Shawn enough pressure in this matter to frighten him to death first before finally giving him a little room to breathe. So, Charlie looked at him and said coldly, "Shawn, who do you think is more guilty? Rudy or you?"

Charlie's words made Shawn frightened, and even his lips turned pale. He looked like a living dead person who had just finished getting his makeup for a dead person done.

What he feared the most was that Charlie would ask him such a question.

This also meant that Charlie's punishment for him should be benchmarked against Rudy's punishment.

'If my crime is smaller than Rudy's, that would have been easy, then. If my crime is bigger than Rudy's, the amount of compensation that I offer should not be lower compared to Rudy's benchmark either.'

'That's ten billion US dollars in ten

years... It's US dollars! Jenna has already been together with me for so many years; yet I haven't even given her a hundred million US dollars. Now, this man named Charlie Wade is suddenly popping out of nowhere and asking me to spend so much money. This feels even more uncomfortable than him asking to take my life...' noveldrama

'But... he is so powerful, so how can I provoke him?! Furthermore, I definitely would not be able to go against Ten Thousand Armies or even Solomon from the Order of the Star!'

As he thought of this, Shawn trembled in fear.

At this moment, Shawn really did not know how to answer Charlie's question.

This was because he knew very well in his heart that he had disrespected Charlie's deceased father when he went back on his word. It stood to reason that this crime was much greater than Rudy's incompetence in educating his own son! More than twice as serious! However, how could he say that?

Once he admitted it, it would then cost him a lot of money! 1

When he thought of this, Shawn,

who loved money as much as he loved his own life, burst into tears as he pleaded with a snotty nose and tears on his face, "Mr. Wade, please give me a chance to use practical actions to repent and atone for my crime. I'm willing to go to your father's grave and kneel for three days and nights as an expression of my repentance. At the same time, I also hope that he will be able to forgive me for the mistakes I made when I was young..."

Having said that, he looked at Janus and said seriously, "I have delayed Janus's youth for twenty years. So, I would like to compensate him for twenty years of income based on the highest income of professional managers in Hong Kong!"

Charlie laughed out loud when he

heard this. "Oh, Mr. Long, you're really good at making calculations. The highest income received by

professional managers in Hong net

Kong Cannot exceed a hundred to two hundred million Hong Kong dollars a year. You will only be forking out about four to five billion Hong Kong

dollars for the past twenty years, then. You just said that you would be willing to pay two billion US dollars in twenty years, but now, it has become less than one billion US dollars. You're reporting lesser and lesser money, right?" Shawn trembled in fright and hurriedly said, "No, no, that's not what I meant. Mr. Wade, I'm willing to go to your father's grave and kneel for three days and nights. In addition, I will also take out two billion US dollars over a span of twenty years!" Charlie looked at Shawn, smiled playfully, and deliberately scared him as he said, "I will name a price. Twenty billion US dollars in ten years. We can continue talking if you agree to it, but there's no need for us to talk anymore if you don't agree!"
