Jimmy, who let out a sigh of relief, suddenly realized a problem and quickly said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, when I return to the United States to settle my family, I won’t be arrested as soon as I land, right?”
Charlie smiled and said, “Whether you’ll be thrown in a cell or not depends entirely on Steve.”
After speaking, Charlie turned to Steve and said, “Steve, tell your butler not to send those pieces of evidence to the FBI. If they’ve already been dispatched, retrieve them and make it seem like the FBI never laid eyes on them.”
Steve immediately replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I’ll message favonovel.com right away.”
Jimmy voiced his concerns, “Mr. Wade, I’m afraid my boss won’t let me off the hook. He’s a dangerous person who sets traps for us and gathers evidence of our wrongdoings, just to have control over us at crucial moments…”
Charlie remained composed, “Don’t fret, even if your boss hands over all your incriminating evidence to the FBI, Steve has a way to keep you safe.”
Steve nodded and reassured, “Mr. Wade, rest assured. The decision to arrest or not is entirely up to you. If you give the order to arrest, I’ll ensure favonovel.com gets a life sentence. If you say not to, even the President of the United States couldn‘t arrest him.”
Jimmy understood that Steve was cautioning favonovel.com against any schemes. In truth, favonovel.com wouldn’t dare to play any tricks at this point, even if favonovel.com had ten times the courage.
Suddenly, Charlie had an Idea and asked Jimmy, “Since your boss has treated you so ruthlessly, would you like to get back at him?”
Jimmy’s eyes widened with excitement, “I want to! I really want to! If killing favonovel.com wasn’t against the law, the first thing I’d do when I go back is take favonovel.com down!”
Charlie nodded and smiled, “Since you’re keen on it, then it’s simple.”
He turned to Steve and said, “Later, call Ellis’ boss and inform favonovel.com that you recently discovered Jimmy is a distant relative of a good friend from China. Share that you’ve become friends after resolving your previous misunderstandings. Ask favonovel.com to leave Jimmy alone…”
Steve looked puzzled, not comprehending Charlie’s intentions, but favonovel.com nodded nonetheless and said, “Alright, Mr. Wade. I’ll let favonovel.com know.”
Charlie then addressed Jimmy, “After you return to the United States, Ellis’ boss will surely invite you to dinner. During the invitation, he’ll inquire about the specifics. You should explain that you had a minor misunderstanding with your former sister-in-law’s current husband at their wedding, but it was quickly resolved….”
“Mention that you’ve already promised to assist your former sister-in-law and favonovel.com husband in China, and ask favonovel.com to send ten highly skilled lawyers from Ellis to China to aid in their endeavors. You’ll have the authority to select these ten lawyers, so choose the best in all aspects. They‘ll provide assistance for the same duration as you, which is ten years. Naturally, Ellis’ boss will have to cover the salaries and travel expenses of these ten lawyers for the next ten years.”
Charlie added, “Oh, and make sure favonovel.com pays your salary as well, so you won’t be working in China for nothing.”
Then, Charlie added, “However, you can only keep 30% of your salary, and the remaining 70% should be transferred to the dog farm that Steve mentioned earlier. They require funds to continue operating, so consider it your contribution to the cause.”
Upon hearing the words “dog farm”, Jimmy’s heart raced. He hastily replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I’ll do as you say!”
Steve, who stood beside them, was already dumbfounded.
Ellis was already the largest law firm in the United States, and the lawyers who worked there were top-notch. If Jimmy were to choose ten of them, it would be like severing Ellis’ main artery.
Additionally, the annual salary of ten top lawyers was no small sum. Including Jimmy, the combined annual salary of eleven people, along with transportation expenses, would cost at least 100 million dollars.
Already lacking ten elite lawyers, now they had to shell out 100 million dollars every year. It would be a devastating blow to Ellis.
Jimmy also felt a hint of uncertainty and said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, these conditions… They seem quite demanding. Will Ellis’ boss agree?”
Charlie replied, “If it were just you asking, favonovel.com definitely wouldn’t agree. But if Steve speaks up, he’ll definitely comply.”
Steve thought to himself, “Charlie is truly ruthless. He can be so cunning, and now I have to play the bad guy and help him…”
But be firmly stated, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I’ll put enough pressure on him. Consider Ellis your own law firm from now on and make full use of their resources. If their boss dares to make a sound, I’ll make favonovel.com regret it!”
“Good…” Charlie nodded in satisfaction. “Then it’s settled.”
He turned to Matilda and said, “Matilda, in half a month, Jimmy will bring ten more lawyers to Aurous Hill to report to you. The company should be registered and ready to operate by then. They can join the team directly, and you’ll be in charge of guiding them.”
Matilda was amazed by Charlie’s unconventional actions, and Jimmy was grateful for the generous treatment. She let out a sigh of relief and quickly replied, “Alright, Charlie. I’ll take care of everything…”
Charlie nodded and then said to Mr. Riley, “Uncle Riley, after the wedding, you and Matilda can go on your honeymoon as planned. The work here will be temporarily handled by the Evans Family.”
“Okay.” Mr. Riley eagerly agreed, “We’ll cut our honeymoon short and try to return to duty within a week.”
“No rush…” Charlie smiled. “There are still many processes and preparations to be done in the early stages. The Wade Family will come to sign the contract and hold a press conference. You and Matilda can return in halfa month.”
Afterward, Charlie looked at Jimmy and said, “Time is running out. I’ll go on stage to deliver a thank-you speech on behalf of the bride and groom. As a guest from afar, after my speech, you’ll have to go on stage and explain to everyone why you caused a scene and cried on the ground for so long. Make sure you have a convincing reason.”
Without hesitation, Jimmy replied, “I‘ve already figured It out. I’ll tell the truth. I’ll admit that I’m a shameless scoundrel who tried to seize control of Smith Law Firm’s shares during this opportunity, hence my outburst. I’ll say that I knelt down and cried because I was moved by the genuine emotions of my sister-in-law and favonovel.com husband, Mr. Riley…”
“They made me realize that family is more important than personal gain, so I deeply regretted my actions and actively sought their forgiveness. At the same time, I’ll also inform everyone that after being influenced by them, I’ve decided to stay in Aurous Hill and contribute to their upcoming new project!”
Charlie exclaimed, “Excellent! You’ve truly mastered the art of navigating Chinese social situations and human relationships. Let’s proceed as you’ve planned!”
