At that moment, Tanya absolutely regretted messing with Charlie or trying to 'reason' with him.Just Claire and Loreen's support would have been enough material for her, but now, she was embarrassed with so many watching.Seeing that Tanya was volunteering a ceasefire, Yoshitaka quickly stepped in to pacify the situation, smiling as he said, "The debate just now certainly broadened my horizon, but as we're on a schedule, we can afford to pick this up another time… do you agree, Mr. Wade?"Charlie smiled, shrugging. "You're the host, Mr. Mitsui. I certainly won't disagree."Tanya sighed in relief and turned to see that Trevor had quietly pocketed his phone. But even as she thought she was safe, Charlie suddenly turned toward Trevor and asked quietly, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have recorded our entire conversation?"Trevor quickly shook his head. "No… I was just checking the news. I didn't record anything."Charlie chuckled. "Calm down. I was just going to tell you that if y

While Trevor wasn't sure what to do as he could see that Tanya was angry, he thought he could calm the tenseness between them by just saying what she'd like to hear.Still, for some reason, what Charlie had said reminded him of his own childhood and adolescence.At that time, tattoos and smoking were already the least of the vices that people pursued to look cool and trendy. Some of his friends had even joined gangs or become addicts despite their young age. The worst ones would be caught shoplifting, committing armed robberies, or getting involved in gang fights, ultimately ending up in prison or dying in the streets.Trevor himself was aware that his parents had been there for him when it mattered, to discipline him whenever he was about to go astray. That was how he had made it into a famous college and eventually earned a scholarship before kick-starting his career as a professional baseball player.Remembering that and considering what Tanya had been doing, he was starting to

It was precisely because Charlie was powerful, willing to kill, and had those miraculous pills, that Kathleen's position as head of the family was unshakeable, with no one even thinking about rebelling.Hence, that debt alone was enough for Kathleen to stay loyal to Charlie for life, the romantic attachments in the depths of her heart notwithstanding, It was precisely why, even though Yoshitaka was there with them, Kathleen greeted him first anyway.Even Claire was a little confused—she always knew that Kathleen respected her husband, but not to this extent.On the other hand, Charlie was completely nonchalant as if Kathleen owed him that much respect."Oh, it's nothing, " he smiled at Kathleen. "It was just getting stuffy in there, and a breather is just fine."Kathleen was sharp enough to read between the lines and see that someone in the hall had upset Charlie.Hence, she said without hesitation, "Well, in that case, I will stay out here with you and the missus."Claire did

Tanya didn't expect Kathleen to talk about activism.Still, considering that the latter was friends with Charlie, she could guess that Kathleen just wanted to diss her.However, she was afraid to actually argue against Kathleen, and she could only reply awkwardly, "Well, yes, but only a little… It's nothing that important and doesn't really warrant much attention, and certainly not yours, Ms. Fox."Kathleen, however, held her gaze as she said solemnly, "I have a piece of advice if you're willing to listen."Tanya nodded, immediately humble. "Do tell, Ms. Fox. I would definitely like to learn from you.""I'm not much of a teacher, but it's something I've picked up along the way," Kathleen replied quietly and solemnly. "See, whatever PR effect you intend to achieve, money speaks louder than words.""Money speaks louder than words?" Tanya blurted. "What does that mean, specifically?"Katheleen smiled faintly. "It's basically no different from actions that speak louder than words. I

Peter looked at him and asked, "Trevor Kennedy, I presume?""Yes," Trevor replied, nodding. "As Tanya's boyfriend, I have the right to ensure Tanya's personal safety."Peter nodded. "Indeed, you do, though we were also going to bring you along for questioning anyway, since you're on the list of suspects as well. Don't worry, it's going to be a short interrogation, and as long as you cooperate, it will be over before long. Then, you can call Ms. Sweet's lawyer to pick you up at the embassy."Seeing as Peter was as polite as he was friendly, Trevor quickly nodded. "Fair enough. Let's go, then."Tanya had been nervous, but she felt a slight peace of mind as Trevor was coming along, and she smiled at him in gratitude.As they both stood and followed the special agents outside, Yoshitaka went up and slid his business card into Trevor's palm as he told him and Tanya, "Once you're done at the embassy but can't make it back in time, you can call me whenever. I'll postpone or cancel the co
