Charlie had long thought of a full set of plans to deal with these treacherous members from the Wade family’s collateral families. This was also the reason why he had rushed all the way back from Northern Europe directly without stopping. He wanted to deal with all these collateral families at one go.
When Stephen heard of Charlie's series of plans, he was shocked, but he also felt extraordinarily relieved a t the same time.
Although Stephen was not a member of the Wade family, he was also very angry when he saw the members of the Wade family's collateral families, who usually relied on the Wade family's help, flee in the night when the Wade family’s life and death were at stake. Therefore, Stephen naturally agreed with Charlie now that he wanted to teach them a lesson.
However, Stephen did not expect that Charlie would actually be so ruthless. According to this situation, it seemed as though Charlie was really going to cut the Wade family's collateral families assets by half.
When Charlie saw the complicated expression on Stephen's face, he asked him, "Mr. Thompson, do you think that I’m being too hard on them?"
Stephen thought for a moment and spoke up, "Young Master, it is indeed a little harsh if we were to talk about the intensity of the punishment alone. After all, i
t would be hard for any person to accept it when it involves half of the family's assets..."
After saying that, Stephen paused for a moment and then said, "But Young Master, I also think that what you're doing is justified at the same time. After all, basically, a large portion of their assets in itself was accumulated by relying on the Wade family. Since they could betray the Wade family's trust at the most critical moment, it is only justifiable for the Wade family to take over a part of their assets. It would also be an excellent supplement to the Wade family."
Charlie smiled slightly and said seriously, "Mr. Thompson, in truth, the reason why I am punishing them this time is not really for the assets in their hands, but it is mainly because I think that these people's loyalty to the Wade family is really too low. It's so low to the point that it's outrageous. So, I have t o take advantage of this opportunity to rectify this issue.”
As Charlie spoke of this, he had a serious expression o n his face as he said, "This time, I will have to let them understand that if they want to rely on the Wade family, they should have a strong sense of loyalty toward the Wade family just like how those ancient vassals were loyal to the kind! I will make sure that anyone who dares to make use of the Wade family only to betray the Wade family pays a painful price for their actions!"
