The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2271

This was Hebron's first time meeting a person like Charlie.

On the outside, Charlie did not fight, did not scold, and was always smiling. He looked more civilized than anybody. But once he opened his mouth, one's bones would be eaten.

Fifteen and a half million Oskian dollars? How could he take out so much money?!

Despite opening an etiquette company and earning lots of money due to his prostitution side business, people like him earned more and spent more too.

Having blended with the dark underworld in the past, this kind of person carried a type of 'today's wine must be drunk till groggy, money earned must be spent today and not wait till tomorrow' mentality. Therefore, despite earning a lot on normal days, Hebron spent a lot too.

In a year, he could earn at least millions. However, he could not stop spending extravagantly. In the end, he was only left with eighty million.

Hebron's total savings amounted to around three to four million Oskian dollars. Now, Charlie was demanding for him to pay fifteen and a half million

Oskian dollars. Even if he were to sell his kidneys, he would not be able to raise so much money. 2

Hence, Hebron pleaded, "Master Wade, let me tell you honestly, I really don't have that much money..."

Hearing this, Jayden kicked him and scolded, "You are given face and you don't want it? Master Wade has given you a solution! How dare you talk back? Will you be satisfied only if I kill you?!" Hebron warbled, "It's not that... Brother Jayden, I am not trying to talk back or rebel. It's just, I truly do not have that much money..."

Jayden snarled, "No money? If that's the case, I will cripple your legs!"

Feeling frightened, Hebron swiftly looked at Xavia and angrily scolded, "It's all your fault, you mean woman! Giving troubles to me all day and night outside!"

Then, he spoke to Charlie, "Master Wade. About the imparity clauses, it is all controlled by Xavia. You should find the person responsible and settle it with her!" 2

Hearing this, Xavia was shocked till her soul left her. She hurriedly replied, "Hebron! You are so shameless! All of these were your ideas. I am only an employee helping you execute them. To put all the blame on me, aren't you being too heartless?!"

Then, she hastily spoke to Charlie, "Mr. Wade, Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation was established by Hebron himself. I was just a girl serving beer in the KTV room. It was him who accepted me as his lover, and he promised to let me earn some money. Then, I was lured into this industry. Strictly speaking, I am the same as Wendy-a victim!"

"Nonsense!" Hebron blurted, "Xavia, don't pretend to be innocent. All of Aurous Hill knows what kind of motherf*cking woman you are!"

"Aren't you the one who was selling, too?!"

"Never mind selling, when you saw other girls making money, you wanted to be independent and went on to poach the other girls' clients too, thus breaking a taboo!"

"When they threatened to use sulphuric acid to destroy your face and left you with no choice, you ran to me and pleaded with me to protect you and bring you out of that circle!" 3

"That time, if it were not for me, your face would have been disfigured! Yet, right now, you even dare to stab me in the back! Do you still have a conscience?!"

Xavia answered in a flustered manner, "You... don't you talk nonsense! Those are all made up by you!"

At this moment, Charlie coldly shouted, "Silence!"

Xavia was so scared till she shrank her neck and immediately closed her mouth.

Staring at her, Charlie coldly said, "Ms. Carter, there's no point in rushing things through. Once I settle everything with Mr. Lawry, I will surely come to you and calculate everything carefully one by one."

Xavia was terrified, and she hurriedly knelt as she pleaded, "Mr. Wade, I... I was forced... Seeing that I am a woman, there's no need to lower yourself to my level..." Jayden, who was beside them, heard this. He immediately came forward and fiercely slapped her face.
