Chapter 33
Elaine was over the moon and a little disbelieving when she heard Axel’s statement. Her money had increased from 1.3 million to two million! She asked, astonished, “Are you sure? Are you really giving me two million?”
Axel nodded hurriedly. “Of course! It’s all yours!”
“Wow, that’s wonderful!” Elaine shrieked in excitement.
Seeing Elaine not only getting back her money, but also the additional five hundred thousand dollars, the rest of the elders were tiptoeing in jittery. They felt that since Elaine’s money was refunded, they should also receive the same treatment as well, shouldn’t they? Hence, some of them started, “Mr. Jordan, what about our money?”
Axel turned to Albert, exasperated. Albert was heavyhearted to surrender all the money he had pocketed, but he was up against the Wade family who he couldn’t afford to pick a fight with-he might even lose his life. Hence, he blurted, “Just refund, refund them all! For Mr. Wade’s sake, they’ll get back their capital and the dividends!” The crowd cheered delightfully.
Suddenly, Charlie’s cold voice sounded. “Don Albert, what do you mean by ‘for my sake’? I have nothing to do with these people. Are you trying to blackmail me?
Albert was taken aback. “Mr. Wade, what do you mean? I’m sorry, I don’t get it…”‘
“What I mean is that these people’s money has nothing to do with me. It’s totally up to you if you want to return their money, but if you dare say something like returning their money for my sake, don’t blame me for falling out on you right now!”
These old coots had been taking Elaine’s side and taunting him just now, so why would he help them ask for their money now? On the contrary, not only would he not help them get their money back, but it
was also a reminder to Albert that if he dared to give these seniors their money back, he was going up against his will! Of course, Albert read his mind. He nodded earnestly and said, “Okay, Mr. Wade, I understand!”
He turned to Axel and stated, “Mr. Wade and his mother-in-law are our only concern. Ignore the rest of them!”
“Huh!?’” The seniors who were still in an ecstatic mode earlier suddenly gaped and stunned in shock. Some started to wail and cry loudly. Some even begged for Charlie’s mercy, but he turned a deaf ear to them. Didn’t any of these rude seniors remember how they had insulted him just now? How dare they come to beg for his help now that they witnessed how respectful Don Albert was towards him?
“Go to hell, all of you!” Seeing the noisy seniors pestering Charlie, Albert screamed indignantly, “Shut the fuck up! All of you! Who the hell dares to say one more word and irritate Mr. Wade, I’ll kill them!” Suddenly, the noise quieted down and the seniors were as quiet as a church mouse. Albert looked at the shocked Kevin and asked, “Mr. Wade, is this Mr. White your friend?”
Charlie looked askance at Kevin, and Kevin quickly pleaded when their eyes met, “Charlie, Charlie! Please help me! Tell Don Albert that we’re buddies! Please!”
Charlie snorted indifferently and said, “I don’t know this man. You can proceed to do whatever you want to do to him, let him go after you’ve had enough.’”
Albert nodded knowingly and commanded his men, “Damn it, beat the crap out of him! This son of a bitch is such an eyesore!”
Kevin wailed in horror, “Charlie! I’m sorry, I’m terribly sorry, please help me! Please…”
