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

Carmen was very clever indeed.

She knew that when so many people were equally guilty, whoever stepped up and admitted their mistake first would have the upper hand.

Moreover, she also knew far more about Charlie's deeds as compared to the others, and she had even experienced it more personally. She had also heard of how Charlie had dealt with several experts from the Webb family from Sudbury before this.

Charlie had asked Albert to carve words on those few mens' foreheads, and whoever admitted their mistake first would have lesser words carved on their foreheads. The number of words carved on the forehead of each person after that would increase by one. It was said that when it came to the last person, the space on his forehead had not even been enough to carve all of the words.
