In order to please Charlie, Wrigley kept aside the little sympathy that he felt in his heart for Dylan.
He said sternly with a cold expression on his face," Dylan, all of us are adults. So, if you are willing to place a bet then you should honor your bet after losing your bet. I don't think that you should continue talking nonsense here. Hurry up and swallow the jade pendant now!"
The expression on Dylan's face turned very bitter and miserable in an instant.
Wrigley said coldly, "Let me tell you something. You should be feeling very lucky now. You swallowed a necklace the last time. This time, it's just a jade pendant. Fortunately, you did not match this jade pendant with a chain. Otherwise, you’d also have to swallow the chain with the jade pendant then!"
Dylan cried miserably as he looked at cousin, Loreen and pleaded bitterly, "Loreen, my good sister. Please quickly help me to plead with Mr. Wade. Please ask M r. Wade to let me go this time. I know that I’m wrong now. From now on, I'll never be so pretentious in front of him ever again. From now on, I'm even willing to become his dog. I will do whatever he asks me to do. Even if he asks me to bite anyone, I won’t hesitate to d o so! So, please just ask him to forgive me and let me off this time..." i
Loreen felt very entangled in her heart at this time.
She had also been very dissatisfied with the way that her cousin was treating Charlie before this.
Women were all the same. Dylan was Loreen's cousin and both of them used to have a very good relationship with one another when they were both young. 4
However, Charlie was the person that Loreen had a crush on for the longest time. So, if these two people were placed in front of her, then she would naturally b e biased towards Charlie.
Now that Dylan was pleading with her to intercede with Charlie on his behalf, Loreen suddenly did not know what to do.
When Sylvia saw this, she hurriedly ran in front of Loreen and she was already prepared to kneel down a s she cried. She kept wailing as she said, "Loreen, please give your aunt face and please help me to plead with Mr. Wade to be magnanimous and let your cousin off this time. I will even kneel down before you!"
Loreen wanted to reach out her hands to stop her aunt from kneeling down in front of her, but Sylvia had already knelt down in front of her. Both parties were caught in a deadlock.
Loreen really could not bear to see her aunt kneeling i n front of her. So, she hurriedly looked at Charlie with an apologetic expression on her face as she hurriedly pleaded, "Charlie, please forgive my brother and let him off this time on my account...” 7
