The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Bruce hadn’t always possessed such bravery. However, Charlie’s psychological cues were remarkably effective and Bruce harbored a deep-seated resentment toward the Rothschild family.

In the past, Bruce had managed to suppress his loathing for the Rothschilds out of sheer fear. But now, that fear has dissipated. Consequently, even when Howard Rothschild personally called him, Bruce wouldn’t yield an inch.

In this moment, Howard found himself taken aback by Bruce’s audacity. The more he faced Bruce’s resolve, the less inclined he was to provoke him further. So, he swallowed his anger and spoke patiently, “Bruce, I understand you’ve been deeply hurt. It’s a grave insult, and no one can face such a situation calmly.”

With empathy, Howard added, “However, we’re all adults, and in the adult world, every issue can be resolved through business. Moreover, as long as the price is right, there’s no business deal that can’t be negotiated. So, all you need to do is name a price you find satisfactory to let go of your grudges and move on.”

Bruce responded with disdain, “Do you think my dignity as a man can be bought with money?”

Howard offered a faint smile and continued, “If dignity truly couldn’t be bought with money, why have you remained silent for so long? Bruce, I don’t want to waste everyone’s time. Here’s my proposition, I’m willing to offer you a fixed sum of $100 million. If you put an end to this, take down all the videos, and publicly acknowledge that you instigated your wife to seduce Matt, as well as intentionally confined Peter Cole in that underground secret room, I’ll provide you with $100 million. It’s more than enough for you to live comfortably anywhere in the world.”

In Howard’s perspective, no one could resist the allure of wealth over principles. If it was possible, the offer wasn’t large enough. He believed that every principle in the world had a price, some were just cheaper than others.

He continued persuading Bruce, “Bruce, I genuinely understand your current feelings, but you should also consider what comes after your momentary satisfaction. Without the Rothschild family, if I don’t employ you, your million-dollar annual income will plummet to zero! Plus, you’ve earned our ire, and no one in Europe or the United States will dare to hire you. You’ll find yourself destitute, begging on the streets. Do you really wish to end up like that after seeking revenge? I earnestly hope you can reconcile with us, take the money, leave the United States, and find a new, better life with younger women, completely rid of these troubles. What do you say?”
