When Edmund heard Charlie mentioning the words ‘Salem Whittaker’, he immediately had a very dumbfounded look on his face!He really would not have expected his father to come all the way to Aurous Hill just to find him.However, this did not make him feel elated. Instead, he could not help but feel terrified and fearful deep down in his heart.Although he had been using the Whittaker family and the Rothschild family to try and scare Charlie and as his last and desperate struggle to free himself, Edmund knew very well that this was all just a facade, and he was simply making use of someone else’s power to throw his weight about.‘Our family is just a distant relative of the Rothschild family. We are actually not that strong or powerful.’‘Regardless of whether it is in the past or present, the so-called distant relatives refer to the relationship between the king’s mother and the king’s wife’s relatives. Therefore, to put it simply, these distant relatives were not important to the
At this moment, Albert’s subordinates had already brought Steven and Salem into Albert’s office.As the two men were still unconscious and bound up, Albert’s subordinates could only use a pair of scissors to cut up the two men’s clothes into countless strips of cloth.One of Albert’s subordinates walked into the office when the two men were left wearing only their underwear after all of their clothes had already been cut off.He was holding an empty basin in one hand and a huge bucket of water in the other. At this time, he said with some difficulty, “Ahh! This bucket of water is really heavy!”At this time, one of the gang leaders called Bill walked toward that subordinate before placing his hand into the bucket of water. After that, he smacked his lips together as he said, “Selig, why isn’t the water cold at all? What is going on?”The subordinate who was known as Selig hurriedly replied, “Bill, I took this water from the tap in the bathroom. Therefore, the water coming from the
When Steven heard Charlie’s words, all of the fats on Steven’s body shuddered in an instant as he blurted out, “I don’t know anything! What do you want me to say?!”Charlie took out his cell phone from his pocket before he pointed the camera at Steven. After that, he sneered and said, “I will only give you one chance. Tell me honestly now. How did the Schulz family plan to murder Helen Dunn and Sophie Schulz?”“If I am satisfied with your performance, I can temporarily choose to spare your life. However, if your performance is unsatisfactory, I will make sure that you will permanently be listed as a missing person!”Steven quivered in shock.He was no fool. After all, Charlie could kidnap him directly. On one hand, this proved that Charlie had extraordinary strength and power, and on the other hand, this also proved that he had the ability to deal with the aftermath of this situation.Therefore, Steven thought to himself, ‘I’ve disappeared silently from the eyes of the public this
He did not know whether Charlie believed his words or if Charlie already knew from a long time ago that he was the one who had secretly tried to take Sophie’s life.Therefore, he decided to do everything he possibly could to gain Charlie’s trust and make sure that the latter would believe him. So, he blurted out, “To be honest, my father has already felt very dissatisfied with my elder brother’s entire family ever since a long time ago. He drove my elder brother to Australia not too long ago, and he also deprived him of his right to become the heir that would eventually inherit the Schulz family in the future.”“In fact, my father not only intended to kill Helen and Sophie this time. Before I came to Aurous Hill, he also asked me to place Jaime under house arrest…”“However, Jaime reacted even faster, and he escaped before we could capture him. But even if Jaime has already escaped, many of the Schulz family’s subordinates have already been dispatched to look for his whereabouts. As
“Yes, Master Wade!”Albert replied before he immediately walked forward. After that, he grabbed hold of Steven’s hair before he gave Steven a tight slap across his face. Steven felt as though he could see stars dancing before his eyes at this time.This was the first time Steven had ever been slapped directly in the face by an outsider throughout his entire life. He was very furious and angry, but he did not dare to show his anger and frustration at all. So, he could only silently endure it.Charlie glared at Steven before he said coldly, “You are not allowed to say a single word if I did not ask you to speak.”Steven could only hold onto his face as he nodded repeatedly. He did not dare to say anything else.At this time, Charlie looked at Matteo before he asked him, “I want to ask you something. When Cadfan gave you the order back then, did he ask you to kill Helen alone, or did he ask you to kill both Helen and Sophie?”Matteo blurted out, “Master Wade, Cadfan only instructed
The terrified Steven hurriedly blurted out, “I will tell you the truth! I will tell you everything…”Charlie nodded as he turned on the video recording function on his cell phone once more.When Steven saw that Charlie was going to record a video, he felt a little flustered, and he said, “Mr. Wade… I will tell you everything that you want to know. I will honestly tell you everything, but would it be okay if you stopped recording the video…”Charlie asked him, “Why? You dare to do it but you do not dare to admit it?”Steven replied vaguely, “No… it’s not that… it’s just that… I… I am just not used to it…”Charlie glanced at Steven in disgust before he said coldly, “You are dawdling and talking so much nonsense. Albert, slap him again!”Albert did not hesitate as he rushed forward and kicked Steven’s fat belly. After kicking him directly to the ground, Albert stepped on his chest before he bent over and gave him two tight slaps across his face.Steven was confused and in a daze af
At this time, Charlie looked at Steven, who was flustered, and he smiled slightly before he said, “There are three different sections for the video that I recorded just now.”“The first section is your confession. You said that it was Cadfan who wanted to kill Helen. At the same time, you also pushed the blame entirely onto Cadfan, saying that he was the one who wanted to take Sophie’s life as well.”“In the second section of the recording, you confessed that you were actually the one who had hired and paid Zakir to kill Sophie.”“In the third section, you confessed that Cadfan was the one who had secretly betrayed Rosalie back in Japan. After that, Cadfan pushed the blame and responsibility to your eldest brother, Sheldon.”Having said that, Charlie smacked his lips together before he said, “Tsk. Tsk. But it seems as though the first section and the second section are somewhat contradictory. So, I can only choose to release one of the videos, then…”After he was done speaking, Ch
Charlie continued speaking at this time. “As for the second section of the video, that is the part where you confessed that you were the one who wanted Sophie dead. I will only send this video over to your eldest brother after he kills Cadfan and becomes the head of the Schulz family.”“That way, if Sheldon had the opportunity to make a comeback and even if Cadfan is killed, you will not be able to relax and live peacefully, because as soon as your eldest brother finds out that you were the one who wanted to kill his daughter, he will certainly find a way to kill you at all costs.”“Well! What do you think about my closed-loop plan? Regardless of whether it is your father or eldest brother who is going to win in the end, you will only be met with a tragic ending!”When Steven heard this, tears began welling up in his eyes.He understood now.He finally understood it now!‘What Charlie is intending to do is to make sure that my father, my eldest brother, and I would always be host
