How is it possible that he remains unaware of the impending fate awaiting the Webb family?


    Cynthia was certainly prepared to confront him. The Wade family would undoubtedly rally to her side.


    At its peak, the Webb family paled inparison to the power of the Wade family, and the current state of the Webb familyrgely weakened by Charlie—was even less formidable. In the presence of the Wade family, they were scarcely more than insignificant insects.


    Donald couldn’t shake the feeling that the Wade family might very well obliterate his beleaguered family.


    With this thought, he choked back his emotions and pleaded, “Master Wade and Ms. Wade, I had no idea and unintentionally offended you. Please, forgive me!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Cynthia seethed with hatred for Charlie but dared not unleash her fury on him. Instead, she directed her wrath at Donald, gritting her teeth as she spat, “You, with the surname Webb, mark my words—today, I, Cynthia, will not let you off the hook! Just wait; I’ll make sure you meet a fate so grim there won’t be a ce left to bury you!”


    Donald felt as though he might crumble under the weight of her words.


    While a tarnished family reputation and dwindling assets were bearable, the thought of the Wade family pursuing him relentlessly was terrifying.


    If his family were truly destroyed, it would be the end for him!


    With desperation clouding his vision, he turned to Charlie, tears welling in his eyes, and begged, “Master Wade, I implore you for help. This is truly a misunderstanding. If the Wade family can find it in their hearts to forgive me, I would be willing to give up 20% of my shares! I only ask for your mercy!”


    Cynthia, her teeth clenched, retorted, “Don’t even mention your 20% shares. To me, that’s not worth a thing—50% or 100% wouldn’t make a difference!”


    Charlie waved his hand dismissively: “Let’s not kid ourselves; even if you think it’s worthless, it’s still something in my eyes.”


    He then turned to Donald, stating, “Mr. Webb, you’ve not only taken my mother-inw but also my aunt. I am a double victim in this situation. Let’s adjust your offer from 20% to 40%. If you agree to follow my orders, I can assure you that the Wade family won’t pursue you further.”


    Donald felt a mix of relief and despair upon hearing this.<fn7028> Newest update provided by Find[?]ovel</fn7028>


    The silver lining was that Charlie had offered a way out; the Webb family still had a chance at survival.


    However, the grim reality was that giving up 40% of the shares felt like a devastating blow to the Webb family.


    Cynthia was unwilling to relent at this moment. She had endured far too many grievances and trials today, and without the ability to confront Charlie, Donald became her sole target for release.


    If Charlie prevented her from unleashing her anger on Donald, would she be forced to turn her frustration toward the pair who had kidnapped her? Those two were mere children; what could she aplish by eliminating their entire family?


    In a fit of fury, she shouted, “Charlie! Whether or not to pursue him is not your decision to make—it’s mine! Ultimately, it’s your grandfather who calls the shots!”


    Charlie replied coolly, “I’ve already provided Donald with a resolution. If he agrees, it won’t matter what any of you think.”


    With that, Charlie turned to Cynthia, his voice rising in intensity as he added coldly, “And don’t assume that just because I haven’t been active in the Wade family for some time, you can dictate how things go. When my marriage was arranged, it was clear that I would not be used to further the Wade family’s interests with powerful allies. I won’t grant you that opportunity!”


    “So, if you dare to scheme against me again, don’t expect me to hold back! Whether it’s you or anyone else in the Wade family, I won’t let it slide!”


    Cynthia, momentarily taken aback by Charlie’s fierce gaze and tone, retorted loudly, “Charlie! Do you honestly believe you can challenge the Wade family? Your Emgrand Group and the 10 billion cash—it was all thanks to the Wade family! They can elevate you or crush you! Without the Wade family, you would be just another nobody,cking any foundation! The Wade family can easily annihte Donald, and it would be ten times, a hundred times easier!”


    Charlie regarded her, intrigued by her hysteria, and raised an eyebrow, asking yfully, “Oh? Is that so?”
