Even if Carmen was at fault for going to Charlie's mother-in-law on her own accord, Charlie should not have treated Carmen so harshly. He even forced her to stay in Aurous Hill's shantytown for a week on New Year's Day. 2
This proved that it was absolutely not as easy as Jeremiah had imagined if he wanted to tame Charlie, let alone have him return to Wade family and follow his command.
Jeremiah decided that he should not rush this matter. Otherwise, it might backfire.
Realizing this fact, he said, "Carmen, you were at fault i n this matter after all. So even if Charlie did go a little too far, there is no need for you to completely turn against him. I'll have to ask you to bear with him for a few more days, and we'll come up with a better solution in the long run."
Relieved, Carmen quickly replied, "I know, Father. I'm sorry that I can't be by your side during this period of time, especially during the New Year..."
Jeremiah smiled faintly. "It's okay. It's not a big deal, don't you mind about it. I'll wait for you to come back."
"Okay." Carmen wiped her tears while nodding profusely toward the camera.
At that same moment, Clayton, Jeremiah’s eldest son,
appeared on his phone screen as he approached and said anxiously, "Father, I've just inquired about a piece of news."
Jeremiah frowned. "What is it?"
Clayton swallowed as he explained. "I heard that the Schulz family is recruiting all kinds of martial artists throughout Asia with a high price. They offer ordinary martial artists tens of millions of dollars a year and billions for the higher-level ones. It is estimated that they spend about ten billion in investment for these martial artists, and it has attracted many retired masters to come out of retirement!" 3
