The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2979

Tom began quivering as soon as he heard that Charlie was going to break his legs and make him crawl all the way back to Eastcliff.

He had already been in Eastcliff's circle of rich heirs for more than twenty years, and based on his understanding of this circle, although the people in this circle were all arrogant, domineering, and ruthless, they would basically only be acted that way toward people who were outside this circle. Most of them would hold back and restrain themselves when i t came to people from the same circle.

Take Tom himself for instance. He had also bullied many people throughout so many years, and he had broken other people's legs more than once. However, that was when he was targeting people with backgrounds that were far more inferior as compared t o him. If it was someone who was in the same circle a s him, he would certainly have to show the other party some respect.

After all, all of them were rich and powerful, and they would have to be interacting with one another in their business dealings every now and then. So, everyone knew that they would have to mutually leave a way out for each other.

This had already long become an unspoken rule that everyone in the circle of rich heirs abided by.

But Tom realized that this Charlie in front of him did not seem to care about this established rule.

So, he blurted out, "Charlie, my family will definitely not let this matter go if you truly break my legs. After that, you will certainly be ostracized and isolated by everyone in the circle. So, why don’t I kneel and grovel in front of you to admit my mistakes? I'll also pay you some money so you can just let me go!"

Charlie had a straight expression on his face as he said, "I've already told you the two options that you have. So, you can choose an option yourself. If you have not told me your final choice within a minute, the first choice will become three years, while the second option remains the same."

When Tom saw that Charlie was being very stubborn and adamant, he hurriedly shouted at the phone," Aunt Wade, you have to help me by putting in a good word for me..."

Carmen sighed as she spoke up, "Tom, I'd advise you t o hurry up and choose the first option. If you continue dragging it on, two years will turn into three years. I'm afraid that it'd be even more unbearable for you, then

H

As she spoke, Carmen then added, "No matter what it i s, you cannot choose the second option. You should not think that Charlie is just bluffing you. Charlie is a man of his word. If he said that he is going to make you crawl back, he definitely will not change his mind. Previously, Dylan Koch from the Koch family in Eastcliff had to cycle all the way from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill on his own. He also has to live in the dirtiest and worst shantytown in Aurous Hill. His life i s not even as good as that of a beggar..."

After all, for a rich heir like him, leading a life of luxury and debauchery every day was his paradise on earth. But as soon as he got on the ship and becomes a seaman, all that he would be facing every day would b e the vast sea. What kind of dull and boring days would that be?!

Moreover, Charlie would also not allow him to get off the ship for two years. How was this different from being in prison?!

Just as Tom was at a loss for what to do, Charlie spoke up and reminded him, "It'll be a minute soon!"

Tom began to panic immediately.

He did not know whether he should choose the first option or not. After all, he was not willing to allow Charlie to fool around with him like that. He was still hoping that his father would be able to save him after finding out about this matter.

As Tom was still hesitating, Carmen, who was on the other end of the line, said anxiously, "Tom, you should hurry up and choose the best option at hand first! Otherwise, if there is no longer any room for mediation, at the very least, you will not be suffering excessive losses!"
