The members of the Wade family who were kneeling really did not expect that Charlie would be so ruthless.
They were all a family, and all of them were children and grandchildren of the Wade family. However, Charlie actually wanted to imprison all of them on Mount Wintry and force them to mourn for their ancestors for three years!
For these rich people who were already accustomed to being pampered and enjoying life, even three days would already be unacceptable, let alone three years!
So, everyone hurriedly looked at Jeremiah expectantly and waited for him to step up and put in a good word o n their behalf.
Jeremiah looked at the pitiful eyes of this group of people, and he felt a little compassion in his heart.
He supported Charlie in his decision to punish these cowardly children and grandchildren of his properly, but he really did not expect Charlie to be so merciless as soon as he started.
So, Jeremiah could not help but say to Charlie," Charlie, it is indeed a very good punishment for them t o mourn for their ancestors, but wouldn't three years b e a little too long?"
"Is it long?" Charlie said seriously, "You should not forget what kind of ideas each of them came up with!
They secretly bought mourning clothes without your knowledge, and they clearly wanted to wait until the moment when you were going to confront Porter face t o face before they defected and turned against you. What would their intention be in doing so? They were clearly planning to push you to your death and trample all over your corpse to join the enemy after you're dead! Do you think that the punishment of mourning for three years is really too long for such people?"
Jeremiah suddenly had a stunned expression on his face.
He also understood this truth.
It was only that he had been deliberately trying not to think about this.
Still, if he were to truly get to the bottom of this matter, the truth was exactly as Charlie had said.
Clayton cried out at this time and said, "Dad! That was not what we meant at all! You really should not misunderstand us, Dad!”
