Chapter 2977
Tom waspletely dumbfounded when he heard this.
He thought to himself, ''Is this something that a f* eking person should be saying?! How can there be such a thing?! This b*tch is deliberately protecting her own family. She knew that I had offended her own nephew, and that is the reason why she is deliberately refusing to help to intercede on my behalf?!''
Just as Tom was feeling extremely angry, Carmen said apologetically, "Tom, I''m really not lying to you. If I were to speak up, I might only be aggravating
Charlie''s punishment for you instead of alleviating it..."
When Tom heard the sincerity in Carmen''s tone, he could not help but feel even more puzzled as he blurted out and asked, "This... What do you mean by this, Aunt Wade? I... I cannot figure it out at all... Aren''t you, his aunt?! Wouldn''t he be willing to show you some respect at least?"
Carmenughed in a self-deprecating manner as she said, "Haha... Charlie showing me respect? His subordinates even dare to beat me up! Furthermore, he did not even side with me when his subordinates beat me up. He sided with his subordinates instead. He even detained me in Aurous Hill during the New
Year, and even though I begged him, he could not be bothered with me at all. It was alsopletely useless even when my father pleaded with him on my behalf

As she spoke of this, Carmen thought of her unfortunate experience when she had been detained in the slums in Aurous Hill back then. Her nose started twitching as she began sobbing.
After that, Carmen then added, "Tell me, if I cannot even plead for myself, how can I possibly plead for you?"
Tom was dumbfounded, and he felt like ten thousand people were shing at his brain as though they were shing a ss with a de, and it made him feel as though his brain was about to pop out.
He subconsciously blurted out, "This... He is simply a brute! What kind of person would treat their own aunt like this?!"
Carmen also felt the same way as she sighed and said, "Tom, you''re right..."
At this time, Charlie, who had not spoken up, suddenly spoke up and asked, "Carmen Wade, have you forgotten why I detained you in Aurous Hill?" When Carmen suddenly heard Charlie''s voice, she was instantly startled.
She did not bother to think about it as she blurted out and asked, "Tom, you... you turned on the speaker on the phone?"
Tom replied awkwardly, "Yes... Charlie was the one who asked me to turn it on..."
Carmen, who had a desire to survive, instantly said, "I did not manage to finish my sentence just now! The reason why Charlie detained me in Aurous Hill was entirely because I did something wrong! I can only me myself for it!"
After she was done speaking, she hurriedly said in a ttering manner, "Charlie, you should not misunderstand me. I did not manage to finish my sentence just now. I did not mean anything else..."
Tom''s entire perception and worldview copsedpletely!
''Is this still Carmen Wade?!''
''Is this still the eldestdy in Eastcliff who is famous for being bold and shrewish?!''
''There''s no one in Eastcliff who does
not know that Carmen Wade has
ет
always been very arrogant and domineering. She has always done whatever she wanted to, and she has never looked up to anyone before!''
ton
''But now, she is scared out of her wits because of this Charlie Wade who is in front of me? When she found out that Charlie was listening in on our conversation, she
immediately started panicking el.16
being frightened as though she was a mouse who had run into a cat?! Her desire to survive is too scary!''
''Is it because Carmen Wade is really too weak, or is it because Charlie Wade is just too strong?!''
Just as Tom was still utterly shocked, Charlie spoke up and asked Carmen, "Then, in that case, you''re not actually going to plead on behalf of this kid, right?"
Carmen felt so embarrassed, and there were goosebumps all over her body.
She realized that Charlie was truly a very bad person.
