The Amazing son in law Chapter 7319

charlie Wade stretched, leaned back against his chair, and remarked casually, “I recognize some of you. You’re prominent figures in the United States, aren’t you? So why can’t you just live your lives peacefully? Why resort to such despicable and twisted methods?”

His blunt question left everyone speechless. They knew all too well how outrageous their actions on the island had been, which was why they had been eliminating anyone connected to it to hide their crimes.

There had been someone like Matt Finkelstein before—a man who also owned an island and hosted similar gatherings. That man had been killed in prison recently.

Their plan this time was to force Matt Finkelstein to kill Tawanna first, then find an opportunity to eliminate him as well. Once this loose end was taken care of, they believed they could finally breathe easy.

What no one expected at the time was that the situation would escalate to this point today.

Seeing the silence in the room, charlie Wade said, “You don’t want to speak, is that it? Fine, then I’ll speak for you.”

He then raised his voice slightly and continued, “First, you intended to assassinate Tawanna. Since you plotted to take a life, you must take responsibility for it. I can reach an agreement with you on Tawanna’s behalf. From now on, Tawanna will not disclose anything about your actions, but you must immediately stop all attempts to harm her. Additionally, you owe Tawanna an apology for what you’ve done and must compensate her for the mental anguish you’ve caused.”

One of them, relieved, quickly responded, “No problem, no problem! As long as Miss Sweet doesn’t reveal our secrets, we promise we’ll never trouble her again. And regarding the compensation for mental distress, we’re willing to pay!”

These individuals understood clearly that, although they didn’t know charlie Wade’s background, his presence alone commanded respect—even Steve Rothschild treated him with deference. They knew better than to provoke him, as even Steve might turn against them if they did.

With this realization, the others quickly expressed their agreement as well.

At this point, everyone was ready to spend money to avoid further trouble. Even Matt Finkelstein, who had orchestrated the plot, felt the same way. After all, the reason he offered a billion-dollar bounty to kill Tawanna was to safeguard the group’s secrets and put their minds at ease.

charlie Wade then said, “Alright, I won’t demand more than necessary. Each of you will pay $100 million as compensation for mental damages. Matt Finkelstein, since you were the one who hired the assassin, you’ll pay a bit more. You initially set aside $10 billion to resolve this issue, so you’ll still pay the same amount. This way, you haven’t actually spent anything extra, and I’ll consider the matter settled without holding you accountable for your actions.”

The group had no objections to the $100 million price tag. For them, paying this amount to eliminate Tawanna as a threat and avoid repercussions from charlie Wade and Steve was a worthwhile deal. They quickly agreed, eager to finalize the arrangement before charlie Wade changed his mind.

Matt Finkelstein felt a bit disheartened. While the others only had to pay $100 million, he was being forced to hand over $10 billion—a truly painful sum.

Despite his frustration, he had become Steve’s lackey and didn’t dare to disobey charlie Wade. He quickly said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I can provide $1 billion right away…”

Tawanna, meanwhile, was stunned. She hadn’t expected charlie Wade to demand over $2 billion from these people in a single move. More importantly, if this money were handed to her, she wouldn’t dare accept it.

She whispered to charlie Wade, “Mr. Wade… I can’t take this money…”
