The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

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 it 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 to 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 to 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

If he said that he is going to make you crawl back, he definitely will not change his mind.
