Ma Kui understood in his heart that Soleil had taken the initiative to sever ties with the outside world. After years of coboration with Soleil, he knew her well.


    As a result, Ma Kui had not heard anything regarding the events that transpired at Soleil and Xu Jianxi’s residence.


    Noticing the confusion on his face, Charlie remarked casually, “Their family members were arrested by the police for moneyundering. Most of their ill-gotten gains have been seized, which indicates that both of them have been engaged in wrongdoing for years, umting a significant amount of wealth.”


    “The ck money I received is essentially gone. Just think about it: twenty years of hard work down the drain, and I’ve also sent my rtives to prison. Was it worth it?” As Ma Kui’s heart filled with dread, Charlie paused to let the information sink in.


    He then added, “However, their families won’t face long prison sentences. Once they’re released, I’ll take them to Syria, where the families of you three can still meet.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Ma Kui was taken aback. He hadn’t anticipated that Charlie would go so far as to cut off his son and grandson from their family. Would this mean that the two families would be utterly ruined and unable to recover? Just as panic gripped him, Charlie smiled and said, “For now, the three of you can be considered colleagues. This connection will be passed down to your descendants. Perhaps in the future, when your son is digging an air-raid shelter in Syria, he might meet a new friend—Soleil’s son.”


    “Imagine them digging together in Syria, working hard every day. After a long hour, they could take a break and share stories about their parents’ glorious pasts. Quite amusing when you think about it.”


    Ma Kui felt overwhelmed and cried out, “Mr. Wade… it’s all my fault. Please, I beg you, don’t let my wife, children, and grandchildren suffer for my mistakes. My eldest grandson has just started elementary school. You can’t do this to the children!”


    Charlie, in a gentle tone, reassured him, “Don’t worry, if your immediate family members are underage, I won’t harm them. They will have a chance at a normal life.”


    However, he shifted the conversation, stating, “That being said, I want to make one thing clear: once he reaches adulthood, even though I won’t bring him back to Xueliya, I will ensure everyone around him knows what you’ve done. This includes his ssmates, friends, teachers, and future partners.”


    “I want them to understand what kind of elder he has. As a result, he may feel ashamed of you, which could lead him to resent you for the rest of his life!”<fn9f97> Chapters first released on find(?)ovel</fn9f97>


    “I will instruct my subordinates to inform him that as long as he retains the surname Ma, no matter where he tries to hide, I will ensure he can’t escape your shadow. Unless he chooses to change his surnamepletely and live anonymously from that point forward!”


    “Eventually, your grandson may be embarrassed to carry yourst name, leading him to change it, and his children will likely do the same. Thus, your lineage wille to an end! After you pass away, people will only remember the hatred they felt for you, not a single person will mourn your loss. The Ma family legacy will be entirely severed, leaving only your infamy behind!”


    Ma Kuiting felt a wave of panic and shouted, “You can’t do this! It’s inhumane to treat a child this way! We’re in the 21st century, not in ancient times when families were punished together. What’s the difference between you and a barbarian?”


    Charlie chuckled lightly and replied, “I’m sorry, but that’s just how I operate! Civilized methods only lead to annoyance from your carelessness, but they won’tpel you to truly reflect on your actions. I want you to genuinely regret what you’ve done, and I won’t grant you the opportunity to start over or change your path. I intend to fill every moment leading up to your death with endless pain!”
