At this moment, Jasmine’s heart was tangled in a web of emotions. She found herself feeling a deep animosity towards Theodore and Rueben.


    Yet, despite her feelings, she wrestled with the thought of deciding their fate. The idea of killing them was something she truly wanted to avoid. On one hand, they were still her rtives, connected by blood; on the other hand, she feared that taking such drastic action would deeply disappoint Grandpa Moore.


    Jasmine understood her grandfather well. She knew he had a strict demeanor and shared her disdain for her uncle and cousin at present. However, deep down, she realized that in Grandpa’s eyes, family ties held significant weight, and he would never genuinely wish for their deaths.


    With these thoughts in mind, she turned to Charlie and spoke earnestly: “Master Wade, despite their many wrongdoings, they are still part of the Moore family and my blood rtives. I sincerely hope you can spare their lives…”


    As soon as she finished speaking, a collective sigh of relief filled the room from the three individuals present.<fn3a41> Chapters first released on f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn3a41><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Alongside Theodore and Rueben, there was also Lord Moore, the patriarch of the Moore family. Jasmine’s plea effectively meant a reprieve for Theodore and Rueben, while Lord Moore felt a wave of anxiety wash over him, fearing that Jasmine might act out of anger and harm the father and son.


    However, in Charlie’s presence, he felt unable to openly advocate for their lives, leaving their fate entirely in Jasmine’s hands. Hearing her words, he felt a sense of ease.


    Theodore, filled with gratitude, bowed his head toward Jasmine, his voice thick with emotion as he said, “Jasmine… I will always remember your mercy…”


    Rueben, tears in his eyes, added, “Thank you, Jasmine, for your kindness…”


    Charlie had anticipated this oue and looked at Theodore and Rueben, who now appeared relieved. He spoke calmly: “Since Jasmine has expressed her desire to spare your lives, I will, of course, honor that wish.”


    However, Charlie continued with a serious tone: “That said, as the saying goes, while some sins can be overlooked, others are difficult to forgive. You may have escaped death, but you must still face appropriate consequences!”


    Theodore quickly interjected, “Master Wade! Rueben and I are ready to go to the police station and let thew take its course!”


    Rueben eagerly agreed, “Yes, Master Wade! We’ll surrender right away! Let’s go!”


    Charlie smirked and responded, “Your n is quite naive. Surrendering won’t simply grant you leniency; it’s not that straightforward.”


    Theodore then pleaded, “Master Wade, you’re a reasonable man. Even with a plea for leniency, we could still face at least ten years!”


    Charlie waved his hand dismissively: “Forget about surrendering; there’s no need to go through the legal system.”


    Upon hearing this, Grandpa Moore inquired, “Master Wade, what do you mean by that?”


    Charlie rified, “I can’t trust the father and son. Even if they go to prison, they might still pose a threat to Jasmine’s safety in the future. So, I’ve considered an alternative solution that allows them to live while eliminating any risk they may present to her.”
