At this moment, he finally realized that he had caused big trouble!
Hence, looking toward Doris, Edmund cried and begged, "Doris! I beg you to send me to the police! Let m e face legal sanctions and a just trial, please. I beg you, Doris! Please pity me, Doris!”
Edmund knew in his heart that although it was scary t o be in jail, at least he could enter the prison healthily.
If he were to be in the hands of Charlie and to be tossed around by him, he would not only face all kinds of painful torture but in fact, he might die cruelly in the dog farm in the end. 1
Thus, comparatively, to be in prison was much more humane.
Charlie ridiculed him, "Edmund, you change really fast. Didn't you beg Doris not too long ago to not hand you over to the police? A few minutes have just passed, and you have already begun to beg her to send you to the police?
Edmund cried painfully and answered, "Master Wade ... Master Wade, please be merciful. Call 911 and let the police take me away. I am a criminal and should face legal sanctions. I don't want to bother you any further
Then, looking at Doris, Edmund cried and pleaded, " Doris... please say something! Please beg on my behalf to Master Wade. Doris, I bow to you..."
Before his voice fell, Edmund desperately faced the floor to bow. As he bowed, his head hit the floor, and it was so loud that the floor made thudding sounds.
Doris did not say a word at this moment.
Charlie had mentioned 'do unto him as he does unto you' a few moments ago. Although the tactics were scary, to be honest, this was the best way to teach people like Edmund a lesson.
After all, Charlie still planned to spare Edmund's life, unlike Edmund, who had tried to kill her father without compassion!
If she herself did not agree to his nasty conditions, he, for sure, would not have lent her father a helping hand!
