Charlie spoke up and said, “Mom, you don’t need to worry, and you don’t have to be afraid. We will certainly be able to successfully resolve this matter. It might be a little troublesome, but you will have to suffer a little grievance during this period of time.”
Elaine cried and asked, “You have to save me, my dear son-in-law! I’m so scared! If this matter does not go well, I’ll be imprisoned for life... I’m someone who has been in a detention center before, and it’s too scary there...”
Charlie said seriously, “Don’t worry, Mom. I promise that you will not be sentenced to life imprisonment. This matter will be resolved before Claire graduates, and you will definitely be able to return to Oskia with us then.”
Elaine hurriedly asked, “My dear son-in-law, do you mean what you’ve just said? It’s just over half a month before Claire graduates and you return to Oskia...”
Charlie hummed and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely keep my word!”
When Elaine heard Charlie’s firm and determined tone, her nerves which were tense due to fear finally eased a little.
She cried and said, “My dear son-in-law, my life depends on you, then. You... You must not break your promise to me...”
Charlie said indifferently, “Mom, after this incident, I hope that you can have a better memory, and you should never casually trust others again. Don’t think about making petty gains every day and eventually suffering a big loss because of it.”
Elaine, who was on the other end of the line, nodded repeatedly and said, “Don’t worry! As long as I can regain my freedom this time, I definitely will not be greedy again any more in the future...”
As Elaine thought of this, she recalled how she had been arrested by the police for stealing Charlie’s bank card. She could not help but curse in her heart, ‘Elaine, oh, Elaine, you’re so stupid! You’ve already learned a lesson before, so how could you fall for this kind of scam again?! How could Charlie have tens of billions of dollars on his bank card? Similarly, how could someone you’ve just met give you a car worth millions of dollars and even invite you to her villa for a vacation?! It’s so apparent that such a thing can’t happen, so why are you so forgetful?!’
Charlie could also hear Elaine’s remorse, so he said lightly, “Mom, don’t tell them anything first. I will arrange for a lawyer for you within an hour. Let the lawyer go over to help you solve this matter.”
