The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2978

She could not help but criticize him in her heart, 'If you did not plan on letting Tom go, you could simply have said that you cannot forgive him and that it'd be useless for anyone to beg for mercy, right?'

'But you just had to force me to admit that I did not come to plead for mercy on Tom's behalf in front of Tom. Aren't you setting me up for injustice? Perhaps I might be his stepmother in the future! If I were to fall for your trap because of this matter, wouldn’t this child hold a feud against me in the future, then?’

So, Carmen could only bite the bullet as she pleaded," Charlie, this kid, Tom, is actually quite a good person. He is simply a little too bad-tempered at times. I hope that you will be willing to forgive him and let him off this once on my account."

Charlie smiled as he spoke, word for word, "I'm sorry, Aunt, but you really do not deserve such great respect!"

As he spoke, Charlie's voice became cold and stern as he said, "If you did not come to Aurous Hill and act all high and mighty back then, I'd certainly have honored you and shown you respect since you are my elder."

"But your mistake is that you are too self-righteous!" "You're constantly very supercilious as though the

whole world has to obey all your commands!" "I do not care how domineering you are elsewhere, but it will not work in Aurous Hill!”

After being reproached by Charlie, Carmen felt extremely depressed, but she did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, and she could only say conciliatorily," Charlie, I know that I have had many faults in my aspects in the past, but after a reflecting on myself for some time, I have already deeply realized my own mistakes..."

As she spoke, Carmen then added, "As for Tom, I believe that he was also just momentarily confused. Give him a chance to change, and he will also definitely be able to realize what his own mistake was. He will certainly be able to..." 5

Charlie interrupted her words directly as he said indifferently, "Alright, that’s enough. You don’t need to continue pleading on his behalf anymore. It is impossible for an arrogant and domineering rich heir like him to truly realize what his mistake was." 1

Tom cried as he said, "Mr. Wade, I know I was wrong. I was the one who offended you because I was blind to the fact and failed to recognize your greatness. I will not do it again, so I beg you, please let me off this time H

Charlie sneered and said, "Look. The fact that you think that it is because you were blind to the facts and failed to recognize my greatness proves that you did not even realize what your real mistake was! What do you mean by being blind to the facts and failing to recognize my greatness? It means that you are not treating everyone equally, but that you're only going to treat people according to their social status! If a person is stronger than you, you will act favorably to try and please them, but if a person is weaker than you, you'll only be trampling all over him. I absolutely cannot allow a piece of trash such as yourself to be released back into society before you've changed completely!"
