At that moment, Charlie nced at James, who appeared quite flustered. With a slight smile, he remarked, “The video we just watched has three segments. The first segment contains your confession, where you reveal that Lord Banks intended to kill Deana. However, you shifted the me onto Lord Banks by iming he also wanted to kill Zara. In the second segment, you admit that you hired Tate Landry to eliminate Zara. The third segment reveals your confession that Lord Banks secretly betrayed Xion, and then you implicated your older brother, Zayne…”


    Charlie then smacked his lips and added, “Tsk tsk… but actually, no. The first and second segments contradict each other, so if I decide to release them, I can only choose one.”


    With a glint of curiosity, Charlie asked, “James, which one do you think I will choose to release?”


    James shook his head in confusion. He couldn’t decipher Charlie’s inclinations and was unsure of his intentions. In reality, regardless of whether the first or second segment was released, he knew he would be in trouble either way.


    Noticing James’s silence, Charlie smiled and confessed, “To be honest, I n to release the first and third segments because they both clearly ce the me regarding Deana, Zara, and Xion squarely on Lord Banks. That should be enough to stir up quite a storm for that old dog! I prefer to concentrate my efforts on significant battles, so it’s crucial to focus our firepower. Lord Banks is going to get a serious beating!” After sharing this, Charlie grinned, then shifted the topic slightly. “As for the second video… I intend to hold onto it for now and send it to your brother Zaer.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    James, bewildered, asked, “Why… why would you send it to my elder brother?”


    Charlie replied with a knowing smile, “If I send the first and third videos to your brother, he’ll realize that Lord Banks is out to harm both of his daughters and his wife. Do you think he won’t fiercely confront Lord Banks?”


    James hesitated, saying, “Well… my elder brother is quite fearful; he doesn’t possess that kind of strength…”


    “That’s not a concern,” Charlie reassured him with a smile. “Whether Zayne is capable or not is irrelevant. As long as I can turn them against each otherpletely, that’s all I need.”


    James was baffled by the young man’s ruthlessness. “If you actually release those videos, my elder brother and the old man will be bitter enemies… The problem is, I’ve exposed the old man’s dealings and implicated Zara as well; he’ll despise me for it!”


    Charlie interjected, “Wait for the first and third segments to be released. Once those videos are out, Zayne will undoubtedly want to kill Lord Banks, and I suspect Lord Banks will be looking to eliminate you in return! At that point, you’ll be begging me to protect you; otherwise, you’ll have to face the consequences. I fear Lord Banks might kill you, or even if he doesn’t, he’ll make you wish you were dead.”


    James felt a wave of panic wash over him. “Charlie is absolutely right. If those two videos are made public, my father will undoubtedly want to tear me apart… and that’s no exaggeration! I may very well end up having to plead with Charlie for shelter. Otherwise, as soon as I step outside, even if my father realizes that I was coerced by Charlie, he won’t show me any mercy…”<fna4a8> Content originallyes from fin?novel</fna4a8><h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
