When Edmund heard Charlie mentioning the words ' Salem Whittaker', he immediately had a very dumbfounded look on his face!
He really would not have expected his father to come all the way to Aurous Hill just to find him.
However, this did not make him feel elated. Instead, h e could not help but feel terrified and fearful deep down in his heart.
Although he had been using the Whittaker family and the Rothschild family to try and scare Charlie and as his last and desperate struggle to free himself, Edmund knew very well that this was all just a facade, and he was simply making use of someone else's power to throw his weight about. 2
'Our family is just a distant relative of the Rothschild family. We are actually not that strong or powerful.’
'Regardless of whether it is in the past or present, the s o-called distant relatives refer to the relationship between the king's mother and the king's wife's relatives. Therefore, to put it simply, these distant relatives were not important to the king at all.'
'Therefore, the Rothschild family will never take revenge on anyone just because of me...'
'As for the Whittaker family, we are not that powerful o r influential at all. Our family is certainly not worth mentioning in front of someone like Charlie...’
'Even if my father came all the way to Aurous Hill, it is absolutely impossible for him to be Charlie's opponent as this is Charlie's territory.'
'Furthermore, Charlie is the young master of the Wade family as well as the chairman of Emgrand Group. He i s tens of thousands of times stronger and more powerful as compared to the Whittaker family...'
'So, aside from sending himself directly into Charlie’s hands, there is absolutely nothing else my father would possibly be able to do.’
'What if he also falls into Charlie's hands?! Wouldn't it be all over for us, then?!’ 4
As he thought about this, Edmund hurriedly said," Charlie Wade! This matter is between the both of us and has nothing to do with my father!"
Charlie smiled as he said, "Oh? What do you mean by that?"
Edmund blurted out, "My meaning is very simple. I am talking about a phrase that is constantly used in your country! A person's family should not be implicated or responsible for their own mistakes! So, if you have any problem with me, you can deal with me directly. Don't involve my father in this matter!"
Charlie nodded in agreement before he said seriously,"
