Chapter 3413
Carmen was very clever indeed.
She knew that when so many people were equally guilty, whoever stepped up and admitted their mistake first would have the upper hand.
Moreover, she also knew far more about Charlie's deeds as compared to the others, and she had even experienced it more personally. She had also heard of how Charlie had dealt with several experts from the Webb family from Sudbury before this.
Charlie had asked Albert to carve words on those few mens' foreheads, and whoever admitted their mistake first would have lesser words carved on their foreheads. The number of words carved on the forehead of each person after that would increase by one.
It was said that when it came to the last person, the space on his forehead had not even been enough to carve all of the words.
With these previous lessons learnt, how could Carmen allow others to kneel before she did?
Charlie also did not expect that Carmen would kneel s o quickly. So, he spoke up, "You're my aunt, and no matter what mistakes you've made, you're still my elder. Even if I am the head of the Wade family now,
the distinction between an elder and those who are younger cannot be messed up. So, you should not be kneeling in front of me. Even if you kneel, you should be kneeling before the Wade family's ancestors!"
Carmen reacted very quickly, and as she knelt, she quickly used both of her knees to adjust the direction that she was kneeling toward to face the Wade family's ancestral grave that was not far away.
Immediately afterwards, she knocked her head on the ground with a loud bang as she cried out and said, "My worthy ancestors! Your unworthy descendant, Carmen Wade, has failed to put the reputation of the Wade family's ancestors and the interests of the Wade family in first place! I nearly sold out and betrayed my own ancestors for glory and regarded our enemy as my kith and kin. I have really let my ancestors down, and I deserve to die for my sins! I beg for my ancestors to condemn me!"
Carmen was already completely convinced now.
Whatever dignity, reputation, 'old princess' status or ' old baby' bad temper that she had possessed previously had already dissipated at this moment. She knew that the most important thing at the moment was to get Charlie's forgiveness. Otherwise, Charlie would be able to make a daughter like her, who had already married out of the Wade family, expelled from the Wade family immediately with just one word.
In that case, all of her efforts would have been for nothing!
Charlie felt a little amused when he saw Carmen being so upright and proper.
However, he kept a straight face and
nodded with approval as he said, "Since you can be the first person to
е
admit your mistake and take the initiative to confess your sins to the Wade family's ancestors, this proves that you're more conscious as compared to the others. So, your sentence shall also be reduced!"
As soon as Charlie's words fell, Clayton, Felix, as well as Caleb, Hugh, and the others, all ran like crazy in front of the Wade family's ancestors' grave. All of them tried to

their mistakes. Content belongs to
In an instant, the rhythm of these people's desperate grovelling was just like those oil pumping machines that were commonly used for oil extraction, and it looked quite comical.
Charlie did not say anything. Instead, he simply stared at them blankly as he watched them scrambling to grovel and confess.
Charlie knew very well in his heart that his aunt Carmen, was really convinced now. Since she was truly convinced, she would naturally be able to continue remaining in Wade family in the future to serve the Wade family. However, the group of people in front of him were all cunning, and he could not let any of them off easily!
This group of people continued grovelling for a long time. The more they grovelled, the more they felt pain, but at the same time, the more they grovelled, the more bottomless it was.
They had originally thought that as long as they behaved positively and piously, Charlie would definitely be as lenient with them as he was with Carmen.
Unexpectedly, even after all of them had been grovelling for a long time, Charlie had not even said a single word by far.
There was no other choice. No one dared to stop, and they could only continue grovelling continuously, one after the other, and they grovelled until their foreheads were already bruised.
It was Charlie's youngest aunt, Charlotte, who could not stand it anymore in the end, and she spoke up and said, "Charlie... If they continue grovelling like this, it could cost a person's life..."
