As Jimmy desperately pleaded, Matilda found herself momentarily speechless. Paul, sitting beside her, felt a twinge of sympathy and turned to Charlie Wade, saying, “Mr. Wade, despite my uncle’s harsh demeanor, he is my father’s younger brother. Please consider giving him a chance to change; he truly regrets his actions.”
As Paul made his appeal, Jimmy was still processing the situation, thinking, “Paul, my dear nephew, if you genuinely want to help me, you should be pleading with your stepfather instead. After all, he’s friends with the eldest son of Rothschild. What good does it do to beg this young man beside you?”
At that moment, Charlie Wade interjected with curiosity, asking Paul, “He intends to steal the inheritance from your parents, and you still wish to advocate for him?”
Paul offered an awkward smile and replied, “I’m fully aware of my uncle’s character. The reason he has traveled all the way from the United States to act in such a disgraceful manner is that hecks any legitimate means to im the shares of Smith Law Firm from my mother and me. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would have already taken legal action against us in the U.S. While his actions today may be despicable, he is merely grasping at straws. Even if he returns to the U.S. without consequences, he won’t have any viable options to obtain those shares.”
Jimmy was taken aback by his nephew’s insight and admitted, “Paul, you’re correct… I’ve been mentally unstable and thought I could create chaos on this joyous asion. If you forgive me this time, I promise I won’t trouble you again!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
As he spoke, he wiped his tears, expressing his grievances: “Now, I have paid dearly for my foolishness. I never imagined my boss would set a trap to expose my ws. If he decides to banish me, I will return jobless, and my prospects of working as awyer might be forever ruined. This is all for the sake of a little recognition. Please, don’t condemn me; I still have a wife and children…”
Seeing Jimmy acknowledge his errors and suffer significant consequences, Matilda turned to Charlie Wade and suggested, “Charlie Wade, why not let it go? You could speak with Mr. Rothschild and provide Jimmy with a chance to redeem himself.”
Steve, concerned that Charlie Wade might actually extend mercy to Jimmy, quickly interjected, “Mr. Wade, we must deal with this despicable individual decisively. If we don’t, he’ll return to his life, forget the pain, and create trouble for us again. Trust me, I’ll handle everything. I guarantee you will never have to see him again!”
Steve had felt wronged in Jinling for days and was eager to find an outlet for his frustration. If he could just unleash even a fraction of his anger, he would feel much better.
Jimmy’s face drained of color, and he didn’t dare to plead with Steve. However, observing how Paul and Matilda had just begged this seemingly ordinary young man and noticing that even Steve Rothschild showed him respect, it dawned on him that Charlie Wade was the true power yer in this scenario.
With desperation, he looked at Charlie Wade and eximed, “Mr. Wade, my sister-inw and nephew have stopped bothering me. Please ask Mr. Rothschild to show mercy. I promise I will never cause trouble again! If I break my word, feel free to send me to jail!”
Charlie Wade regarded him with a slight smile and replied, “You see, Mr. Rothschild has just mentioned that you won’t be going to jail in the United States. There’s no extradition agreement between China and the U.S., so you can stay here.”
In a panic, Jimmy stammered, “I… I only came here under a transit visa exemption. I can only remain in China for 144 hours. If I haven’t left by then, I’ll be deemed illegally present…”
Charlie Wade reassured him with a smile, “Don’t worry. I know a safe ce for you to settle down. You can stay in China as long as you need.”<fnead6> Latest content published on FindN0vel</fnead6>
Steve, overhearing this, couldn’t help but smile excitedly, “Yes, yes! The dog farm! Mr. Albert’s dog farm! That’s perfect for him; it’s much better than prison!”
