Soleil trembled at Charlie’s words.


    With wide eyes, she confronted him and blurted out the question that had been gnawing at her: “Charlie, who are you?!”


    Juarez and Ma Kui, along with the others, shared her confusion, staring nkly at Charlie, all eager to uncover the truth about his identity.


    Charlie offered a calm smile and replied, “Many people are curious about who I am, but you, Soleil, are the least deserving of that knowledge. Just understand this: the entire Dragon Pce is loyal to me. I mention this not to boast, but to make it clear that when you meet your end, I have the power to make your family face the consequences.”


    Abbas, standing nearby, interjected with a chilling tone: “As long as Mr. Wade gives the signal, even if your family tries to flee to the ends of the earth, I, Abbas, will bring them back!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Soleil gazed at Charlie as if he were a monster.


    At that moment, she realized she had provoked a formidable adversary for the sake of money!


    With the Wanlong Pce under his control, Charlie could easily bring her two sons to Syria or even end her life without a second thought!


    Fear overwhelmed Soleil.


    Though she had lived a life of wickedness, she had never experienced true nightmares until now.


    From the moment she chose her treacherous path, she had built a powerful psychological fortress around herself.


    She convinced herself that her actions were for the benefit of future generations, believing that if her descendants could thrive and break free from the cycle of poverty, her sacrifices would be worthwhile—even if it cost her life.


    Yet now, she found herself vulnerable, with Charlie holding her fate in his hands.


    When her family faced cmity, Soleil had felt despair, but Xu Jianxi and Jase had encouraged her. They assured her that her sons were only under suspicion for moneyundering, a crime that wasn’t severe in China, and they would likely be free in a few years.


    With that hope in mind, she hade here resolved to umte wealth not just for her sons, but for her grandchildren as well.


    However, Charlie’s words shattered the foundation of her hopes.


    The mere thought of her sons heading to Syria, destined for a life of oppression and darkness, pierced her heart like a knife.


    In front of Charlie, her legs buckled, and she fell to the ground, pleading: “Mr. Wade… Please, I beg you to spare my two sons. If you can let them go, you can take my life right now—I won’tin!”


    Charlie sneered and countered, “Soleil, you need to offer something of value to negotiate. Think carefully—what bargaining chips do you have left?”


    Soleil’s face reflected sheer panic.


    Deep down, she understood she had nothing to offer Charlie.


    With tears streaming down her face, she cried out in desperation, “Mr. Wade, my sons aren’t very capable; theyck smarts. You brought them to Syria, and all they will do is cause trouble and waste your resources. Please, have mercy, Mr. Wade…”<fn4dd1> Newest update provided by find?novel</fn4dd1>
