Olivia was so embarrassed because of Charlie's words that she really felt like using her toes to drill a hole in the floor so that she could just escape to the first floor.
What 'Romeo and Juliet' was he talking about? How could she possibly wait for Walliot to come out of prison?!
She really could not wait to get rid of all her relations and connections to Walliot quickly now!
Otherwise, if Walliot were to go to prison, she would not have a good end herself either!
How could Walliot's father, Gregory, not hear Charlie’s sarcasm and ridicule? When he saw that Charlie seemed to be completely unwilling to accept a private settlement, he felt extremely terrified in his heart.
He looked at Charlie as he pleaded bitterly, "Mr. Wade, this is all my fault for not teaching my son well. As long as you can name your conditions, I will definitely find a way to meet your demands no matter how difficult it is!"
Charlie ignored him. Instead, he looked at Walliot and said coldly, "Walliot, if you want me to be magnanimous, you will have to give me an honest account of the cause and consequences of the entire situation immediately first. This includes who you actually made this decision with, and aside from the
croupier, how many people at this scene are actually your accomplices!"
Walliot hurriedly said, "No one else... No one else... The croupier is my only accomplice... He worked as a croupier in casinos in Las Vegas for many years, and h e has great gambling skills. So, I often team up with him to win some pocket money at parties similar to this... Only the two of us have conspired in this matter from the beginning to the end, and there is no other third party involved in this."
Charlie said coldly, "Is everything that you're saying the truth? Let me warn you. If there is even one word that you're saying that is not the truth, I will call the police to deal with you immediately! When the time comes, I will also ask the Wade family to put pressure on the Northern Europe judicial system and demand a strict sentence for you!"
As he said that, Charlie then added, "You have to think clearly. If the police arrest you, you may have to stay i n prison for the rest of your life, then! I don’t care who the person you're trying to defend is, but you may not even have the chance to see that person when the time comes. By then, that person will still be able to live his or her own chic life, but you will only have iron bars for company!"
