Super Hero Charlie Wade - Charlie Wade Chapter 7201

Tawanna hesitated. “But after my performance in Japan, I’m scheduled to return to the United
States to rest…”

charlie Wade waved dismissively. “Why rush back to the U.S.? Who’s waiting for you there that
makes it so urgent? Taking a few extra days won’t hurt.”

Tawanna bit her lip and said softly, “I have my family in the U.S.… I miss home, and I feel safer
there.”

charlie Wade’s expression turned serious. “Do you really think going home is safer? Is your
family’s influence in the United States stronger than those who want to kill you?”

Tawanna thought about charlie Wade’s earlier analysis and shook her head. “You’re right… it’s
probably not safer. I won’t go back for now. I’ll listen to you, Mr. Wade. I’ll only return after
easing tensions with the winner and securing his protection.”

charlie Wade nodded, adopting a teacherly tone. “You’re performing several shows in Tokyo,
right? I think it’s not ideal for you to keep staying at Mr. Mitsui’s house after the concerts. It
might seem like you’re imposing. Why not go to China instead?”

Tawanna was taken aback. “Huh? Go to China?”

“Yes,” charlie Wade said with a smile. “China isn’t far from here. A flight from Tokyo will get
you there in just three hours.”

Still puzzled, Tawanna asked, “But… what would I even do in China?”

charlie Wade pretended to ponder for a moment before exclaiming, as though he had a sudden
revelation, “Ah, I know! Here’s an idea: choose three, four, or five cities in China and hold
seven, eight, or nine concerts there. You’re free anyway, so why not make some money while
you’re at it?”

Tawanna’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Hold concerts in China?!”

“Exactly,” charlie Wade replied confidently. “It’s a win-win. You get to enjoy yourself and earn
money at the same time—two birds with one stone. Plus, the public security in China is much
better than in Japan, so your safety is guaranteed. That’s three birds with one stone!”

Tawanna looked helpless. “But after my concerts in Tokyo, I was planning to rest. I don’t have
any other performances scheduled, and my team is preparing for a holiday.”

charlie Wade waved dismissively. “That’s no big deal. Just have them come to China to work
overtime, and pay them extra for it.”
Then, with a serious expression, he added, “You need to understand that this is a very sensitive
and critical period for you. Holding concerts in China now has additional advantages beyond
what I just mentioned. It’s also a chance to send a subtle message to Washington.”

“Send a message?” Tawanna asked, confused. “How do I do that?”

“It’s simple,” charlie Wade explained. “You don’t say a word. Just perform with all your heart. If
you perform consistently and avoid making any off-topic remarks during your concerts, the other
side will start to notice. They’ll wonder why someone like you—who’s been so vocal and
defiant—suddenly seems so quiet and compliant. It’ll catch them off guard.”

He leaned forward slightly, emphasizing his point. “Once they sense that shift, they’ll start
thinking. And when they do, I guarantee they’ll want to figure out what’s going on. That’s when
their team will reach out to you. When that happens, you can meet privately, shake hands, and
make peace.”

Tawanna was still processing his words when charlie Wade concluded, “This way, you don’t
have to lower yourself or beg them publicly, so your dignity remains intact. Your safety will be
assured, too. Honestly, the benefits of this move are immeasurable.”

Super Hero Charlie Wade - Charlie Wade Chapter 7202


Hearing charlie’s suggestion, Tawanna couldn’t help but exclaim, “Ah? You… you mean I
should go to China to hold a concert?”

“Yes,” charlie replied casually. “You haven’t held a concert in China yet, have you? This is a
perfect opportunity to surprise your Chinese fans and do something great for your career. I can
assure you that once you’re in China, you’ll have no security concerns at all. The only question
is whether you’re willing.”

Without hesitation, Tawanna answered, “I… I’m willing.”

Under normal circumstances, she might have hesitated or considered other factors. But now, it
felt as if multiple voices deep within her were urging her to agree without delay.

Seeing her quick agreement, charlie continued, “In that case, let’s discuss the specifics of this
cooperation. Since Mr. Mitsui is here, and he’s a shareholder in Universal, we can finalize the
deal right now. For Tawanna’s performances in China, her fees will follow the usual business
model—whether it’s a buyout or a revenue share of the box office, I’m fine with it. However, I
have a few conditions.”

He then listed his requirements:

1. The total number of concerts in China must not be less than eight.
2. The hosting rights for these eight concerts must be fully handed over to me.
3. For ticket sales, I will designate an exclusive agent.

Tawanna nodded again, still without hesitation. “I have no problem with any of that.”

Mitsui Yoshitaka, observing the conversation, fully understood the economic potential of this
proposal. A world-class singer like Tawanna could generate enormous local economic benefits
wherever she performed.

One of her concerts could sell tens of thousands of tickets, earning tens of millions in revenue.
Beyond ticket sales, the event could inject hundreds of millions into local tourism, hospitality,
and commerce. On top of that, it would draw global media attention, keeping the host city in the
news for days. The commercial value of this was staggering.

Because of these benefits, performance companies in various countries often offered significant
concessions to host Tawanna’s concerts. In some cases, even local governments provided
subsidies to bring her in.

Tawanna’s agency and team also maintained strict control over her concerts, ensuring a high
degree of autonomy in every aspect of production. Ticket sales, in particular, were a gold mine
of hidden profits.

For instance, if a concert were held in a popular city with a stadium capacity of 50,000 people,
the box office revenue alone could easily reach $10 million. Given Tawanna’s immense fame,
ticket prices carried a significant premium, creating countless opportunities to increase revenue
through behind-the-scenes methods.

The most common tactic? Ticket control and scalping.

Out of 50,000 tickets, only about 5,000 might actually go on sale to the general public. These
5,000 tickets would depend on factors like internet speed, luck, and the reflexes of eager fans
frantically clicking to secure one. Scalpers armed with specialized software often outpaced
regular buyers to grab these limited tickets.

Super Hero Charlie Wade - Charlie Wade Chapter 7203


The organizers didn’t concern themselves with the scalpers’ dealings; their focus was on the real
money—the 45,000 tickets that never made it to public sale. When it came to someone like
Tawana, a superstar guaranteed to sell out any venue, these tickets became pure gold.

The organizers could sell all 45,000 tickets directly to a general contractor at double the face
value, effortlessly securing a massive profit. For some concerts, especially those of top-tier stars,
the core seats could sell for ten times or even dozens of times higher than their face value.
Even for famous Chinese singers, the face value of a front-row ticket might be around 2,000
yuan, but the actual resale price could easily jump to 20 or 30 times that. Fans might spend
50,000 yuan and still not secure the best seats. When it came to Tawana, a global icon, those
premiums reached an entirely different level.

In North America, especially Canada, the best inner-field seats for Tawana’s concerts started at
7,000 to 8,000 Canadian dollars. The most central and coveted seats? Those sold for 50,000 to
100,000 US dollars, and wealthy fans lined up to pay.

It wasn’t just about the front-row tickets, though. The organizers controlled all 45,000 tickets,
and even the worst seats—those in the farthest tiers—could easily fetch two or three times their
original price. The possibilities for profit were endless.

The organizers had several options. If they were hands-on, they could act as their own scalpers,
flipping tickets directly to fans and making huge returns. If they preferred less involvement, they
could sell the entire batch of 45,000 tickets to a major ticket distributor at triple the face value,
ensuring a guaranteed profit.

This wasn’t wishful thinking—it was standard practice. Major ticket distributors were more than
willing to invest in events as big as Tawana’s concerts. If a distributor lacked the funds, they’d
team up with investors to buy the tickets. From there, the tickets would move down the chain,
with profits being added at every level. First, the primary distributors sold to regional
distributors. Then, the regional distributors passed them to scalpers. Finally, the scalpers sold the
tickets to fans at five times the original price—or more.

Everyone in the chain walked away with significant profits, while fans were left to foot the bill.
The dedication of Tawana’s followers and their willingness to pay any price made it all possible.

Tawana had been a global sensation for years but had never performed in China. charlie
understood what this meant. If Tawana announced concerts there, tickets would vanish instantly,
and demand would soar to unprecedented levels.

For China’s wealthiest fans, spending hundreds of thousands of yuan on front-row seats wasn’t
just about the concert—it was a status symbol. Sharing the experience online or in social circles
was worth every penny. Influencers and internet celebrities, capable of earning millions from a
single endorsement deal, would see such a ticket as an investment in their brand. The demand for
Tawana’s performances in China would break records and drive ticket prices through the roof.

Super Hero Charlie Wade - Charlie Wade Chapter 7204


For these influencers and internet celebrities, normal standards of spending don’t apply. With
their effortless earnings—sometimes shouting slogans or calling on “brothers, family members,
and beautiful girls” in their streams—they can make more in a year than Tawana herself. For
them, spending hundreds of thousands to see Tawana isn’t just about attending a concert; it’s a
golden opportunity to flaunt wealth, draw traffic, and boost their popularity. For them, it’s a
calculated investment.

Moreover, charlie’s exclusive demand for the ticket agency rights for all eight concerts opened
up an enormous profit potential. The margins on these concerts could easily soar to hundreds of
millions of dollars.

Despite being extremely wealthy, Mitsui Yoshitaka’s sharp instincts as a businessman made him
reluctant to let anyone walk away with all the spoils. The more successful a businessman
becomes, the less likely they are to yield opportunities. Mitsui, almost reflexively, considered
rejecting charlie’s proposal. Or at the very least, he planned to counteroffer—ensuring that a
significant portion, perhaps 50%, of the ticketing revenue would remain with him and his
network.

charlie, perceiving Mitsui’s hesitation, smiled calmly and said, “Mr. Mitsui, let me clarify
something important. The reason I’m inviting Miss Tawana to perform in China isn’t personal
admiration, nor is it a scheme to profit from her fame. It’s simply that such a globally renowned
artist has yet to perform for her massive fanbase in China. That doesn’t seem fair. I see this as a
chance to give Chinese fans the experience they’ve long deserved.”

He paused briefly before continuing, “Regarding the ticket sales for these eight concerts, I
promise they will be sold at face value, adhering strictly to principles of fairness and
transparency. Moreover, we will implement all necessary measures to combat resale and
scalping. If even a single ticket from these eight concerts sells above its original price due to my
actions, I will hand over every cent of the box office revenue to you, and, on top of that,
compensate you with one billion U.S. dollars.”

Mitsui Yoshitaka froze, stunned. A billion-dollar guarantee? Could charlie truly back such a
claim?

Before Mitsui could question further, Fei Kexin, who had been quietly observing, interjected
firmly, “Mr. Mitsui, you don’t need to doubt Mr. Wade’s words. If he fails to deliver on his
promise, I’ll personally cover the one-billion-dollar compensation.”

Her unwavering support left Mitsui no room for skepticism. Sensing the gravity of the moment,
he nodded slowly. “Mr. Wade, it’s clear you’re sincerely working to benefit Chinese fans. But
allow me to share a concern as someone familiar with the industry. Scalping is notoriously
difficult to eliminate. With Miss Tawana’s level of fame, particularly since this will be her first
concert in China, the significance will be monumental. Tickets, especially for premium areas,
could skyrocket to dozens of times their face value. The temptation for profiteers will be
enormous.”

Mitsui continued, “Even with a real-name ticketing system, regular fans often struggle to outpace
professional scalpers. These scalpers use advanced software and a sheer volume of manpower to
dominate the ticket sales process. Their tactics ensure they always have the upper hand.”
charlie remained unfazed. A faint smile played on his lips as he said confidently, “That won’t be
a problem. I have my own methods.”

Super Hero Charlie Wade - Charlie Wade Chapter 7205


Seeing charlie Wade speak so naturally and confidently, Sanjing Liangxiao quickly realized that
charlie Wade’s goal might not be to profit from Tawana’s concerts in China.

Sanjing said to charlie Wade, “Since Mr. Wade has a way to curb price gouging, I have no
objection.”

After a brief moment of thought, Sanjing decided to go a step further in showing goodwill. He
continued, “Mr. Wade mentioned eight concerts, but we’ll add two more and make it an even
ten. The selection of cities and venues for these ten concerts will be entirely up to you.
Regarding Tawana and her team’s performance remuneration, we’ll adopt a box office sharing
model. Normally, Universal’s practice is to take 70% or more of the revenue, but since we’re
cooperating with you, we’ll settle for just 50%.”

charlie Wade shook his head and replied, “No, stick with the usual 70%. If there’s any profit left
after that, I’ll donate all of it. I won’t keep a single cent for myself.”

Mitsui Yoshitaka was utterly stunned and confused. “Is charlie Wade deliberately trying to avoid
making money?” he wondered.

With ten Tawana concerts, charlie Wade could easily manipulate ticket sales to generate
hundreds of millions in profits—enough to buy seven or eight of the most luxurious Gulfstream
G700 jets. Yet, not only was he refusing to make money, he also planned to donate any potential
earnings from the entire performance series. “Isn’t this a complete waste?” Mitsui thought,
bewildered.

What Mitsui Yoshitaka didn’t understand was that, to someone of charlie Wade’s stature, such
money was insignificant. More importantly, charlie Wade despised manipulative, behind-the-
scenes operations. By organizing these concerts, charlie Wade aimed to achieve three things:
offer benefits to domestic fans, let Tawana’s economic influence contribute to China’s GDP, and
set an example for the performance industry. While everyone loudly proclaimed their intention to
eliminate scalpers, many were engaging in even worse practices. If Tawana’s concerts could be
run without any scalping, it would expose any shady dealings in future performances.

Having settled the core terms, charlie Wade felt no need to continue the conversation. Turning to
Sanjing Liangxiao, he said, “Mr. Sanjing, my wife is still waiting for me. I’ll leave the rest to
you. Please ensure my requests are followed without any mistakes.”
Without sparing another glance at Tawana or Sanjing Liangxiao, charlie Wade addressed Fei
Kexin, “Miss Fei, shall we go inside?”

“Of course!” Fei Kexin replied, nodding earnestly. She respectfully gestured for charlie Wade to
lead the way, saying, “Mr. Wade, after you.”

charlie Wade, without unnecessary pleasantries, headed back toward the party venue.

Fei Kexin’s attention was entirely focused on charlie Wade, and she followed him closely
without hesitation.

Super Hero Charlie Wade - Charlie Wade Chapter 7206


Following charlie Wade, he didn’t even bother to say hello to anyone as he left.

Seeing charlie Wade’s departure, Sanjing Ryotaka felt an unexpected sense of relief. Despite his
years of experience in the martial arts world and elite training within a top-tier family like
Sanjing, he couldn’t shake off the intense pressure charlie Wade had exuded. It baffled him that a
young man from China could evoke such a strong sense of oppression. Only when charlie Wade
turned and left did Ryotaka’s spirit feel unburdened.

Tawanna, like Ryotaka, also felt an overwhelming sense of intimidation in charlie Wade’s
presence. Now that he was gone, she too felt as though she had narrowly escaped a disaster.
Unable to suppress her emotions, tears began to stream down her face.

As a world-renowned “proud daughter of heaven,” Tawanna had never encountered such a


terrifying experience. The feeling of brushing so close to the edge of death was something
entirely new to her, and her tears were an emotional release for the ordeal she had just endured.

Trevor, standing beside her, no longer dwelled on their earlier conflict. He reached out and
pulled Tawanna into his arms, speaking gently, “It’s okay, baby. It’s over now. We should be
thankful to still be alive. That alone is worth celebrating.”

Tawanna nodded, understanding his words. Surviving such a calamity gave her a newfound
appreciation for life. In moments like these, nothing seemed more important than simply being
alive.

However, controlling her tears was easier said than done. Relieved to have Trevor’s comforting
presence, she allowed herself to cry freely in his embrace.

Mitsui Xinmei, who had a personal connection with Tawanna, stepped forward to offer some
pragmatic advice. “Tawanna, you need to calm down and focus on the upcoming performance.
Letting your emotions spiral will only hurt you. You must act as if nothing happened tonight. No
one on stage can sense anything amiss.”

Rather than comforting her with kind words like Trevor, Mitsui Xinmei’s direct approach hit the
core of the issue. Tawanna quickly realized that her emotional instability and crying could affect
her voice, sap her energy, and ultimately compromise her performance. Tonight’s show had to be
flawless—for the fans, and for herself.

Resolutely, Tawanna wiped away her tears, taking deep breaths to regain her composure. She
silently vowed to deliver a perfect performance for her fans and to prove herself worthy in
charlie Wade’s eyes.

Seeing that Tawanna was beginning to collect herself, Sanjing Ryotaka turned to address
everyone. “Miss Tawanna, there’s a world waiting outside.”

The night was freezing cold, and charlie Wade’s calm voice cut through the chill. “It’s freezing
out here, so why don’t we go back to the party? I’ll have my people take these attackers to the
hospital under the Mitsui family’s care and temporarily settle them there. Let’s pretend this
afternoon never happened. Do you and Mr. Kennedy have any objections?”

Tawanna instinctively replied, “I have no objection. Let’s do everything according to Mr.


Wade’s arrangements!”

At this moment, Tawanna was completely won over by charlie Wade. The sharp pain from the
needle wound on her neck lingered, yet her heart overflowed with gratitude. Without charlie
Wade, she might have lost her life without ever knowing why. Reflecting on how she had
disrespected him before filled her with shame.

Sanjing Xinmei, on the other hand, was filled with curiosity about charlie Wade. She couldn’t
understand how he possessed such immense strength. Not only had he subdued a group of
professional killers, but he had also managed to save both Tawanna and Trevor. It puzzled her
further that Fei Kexin always treated him with unwavering respect. charlie Wade seemed like a
man shrouded in mystery, much like an iceberg with its vast depths hidden beneath the surface,
tempting her to uncover what lay beneath.

charlie Wade and Fei Kexin returned to the scene together.

As soon as they arrived, Claire rushed to charlie Wade with concern in her voice. “Husband,
what did you say to Mr. Sanjing?”

charlie Wade smiled casually and replied, “I told him that the feng shui of this dome wasn’t very
favorable and needed minor adjustments before things could proceed smoothly.”

Claire tilted her head curiously. “Did he actually believe you?”


“Of course,” charlie Wade said with a confident smile. “I even helped him resolve it for free. He
was very grateful.”

Claire felt relieved, though a new worry surfaced in her mind. “Husband, do you think the
concert tonight will still happen? Those CIA agents looked really tough. Will they let Tawanna
come back?”

charlie Wade reassured her with a calm tone. “Don’t worry. I helped Mr. Mitsui fix the feng shui
issue, and the CIA agents already brought Tawanna back. The U.S. has decided to pause its
investigation into her for now, so her performance tonight won’t be affected.”

“Really?” Claire asked, astonished. “Those agents came in so aggressively. I was sure the
concert would be canceled. How did everything turn around so quickly?”

charlie Wade chuckled. “It’s true. Tawanna is already back. She’s probably chatting with the
Mitsui family outside. Rest assured, the performance will go on as scheduled.”

Super Hero Charlie Wade - Charlie Wade Chapter 7207


The night was freezing cold, and charlie Wade’s calm voice cut through the chill. “It’s freezing
out here, so why don’t we go back to the party? I’ll have my people take these attackers to the
hospital under the Mitsui family’s care and temporarily settle them there. Let’s pretend this

Wade’s arrangements!”

charlie Wade smiled casually and replied, “I told him that the feng shui of this dome wasn’t very

charlie Wade chuckled. “It’s true. Tawanna is already back. She’s probably chatting with the
Mitsui family outside. Rest assured, the performance will go on as scheduled.”

Soon, Tawanna, who had calmed herself, returned to the party with Trevor.

Mitsui Yoshitaka, still thinking about Charlie Wade’s request, walked directly to the stage and
addressed all the guests. “Ladies and gentlemen, I just communicated with the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and the US Embassy. It has been confirmed that the CIA’s request for Miss
Sweet to visit the embassy for an investigation was entirely a misunderstanding. They realized
the mistake quickly and sent Miss Sweet and Mr. Kennedy back without delay. Since this
incident was purely a misunderstanding, I sincerely ask everyone here not to share anything
about it outside this event. This will prevent those who are uninformed or the media chasing
rumors from discussing and spreading baseless speculation.”

He paused for a moment, then continued in a firmer tone. “Let me emphasize that everything that
happened today must remain strictly confidential. If any information is leaked, I promise, on the
honor of the Mitsui family, to track down the source and hold them fully accountable. I hope you
all understand the seriousness of this matter. Thank you.”

In Japan, Mitsui Yoshitaka held immense influence. Politicians, wealthy businessmen, and even
foreign enterprises operating in Japan made every effort to avoid offending him or the Mitsui
family. The status of the Mitsui family in Japan was even more prominent than that of Samsung
in South Korea.

The guests, driven by both respect and caution, agreed and vowed to keep the night’s events
private. Tawanna’s safe and timely return also reassured them. Considering the short time she
was gone, it was clear she couldn’t have gone to the embassy and returned, reinforcing Mitsui
Yoshitaka’s explanation. As a result, curiosity among the guests diminished, and the mood
became more relaxed.

Since it seemed to be nothing more than a minor misunderstanding, and Mitsui Yoshitaka had
personally addressed it, the matter was quickly put to rest. Feeling relieved, Mitsui Yoshitaka
allowed the party to resume as normal.

Meanwhile, Charlie Wade made a conscious effort to keep his distance from both Tawanna and
Mitsui Yoshitaka. He avoided interacting with them or even making eye contact to ensure Claire
wouldn’t suspect anything. Tawanna, however, couldn’t resist stealing glances at Charlie Wade.
Yet, as she realized he was entirely ignoring her, she eventually stopped trying.

Sanjing Xinmei, on the other hand, found herself intrigued by Charlie Wade and observed him
quietly throughout the evening.

It seemed that when Charlie Wade was in front of his wife, there was a stark contrast to the way
he had behaved outside. The most striking difference was that, outside, Charlie Wade had
exuded dominance, refusing to take anyone seriously or give anyone a chance to oppose him.

Once back with his wife, however, all that commanding presence seemed to vanish. His
demeanor softened entirely, making it impossible to see him as the same masterful figure who
had just saved Tawanna and Trevor from the clutches of killers with nothing but his bare hands.

Meanwhile, Tawanna and Trevor, having narrowly escaped death, found themselves feeling
awkward in each other’s presence. Their relationship had been on shaky ground even before they
were deceived and put in danger. Not long ago, they had faced a potential breakup, with
Tawanna expressing doubts and saying she needed to reconsider their relationship—a sentiment
that was almost a declaration of ending things.

Now, after the ordeal, they hadn’t clearly resolved whether they wanted to get back together.
Tawanna would occasionally glance at Trevor but also stole quiet looks at Charlie Wade.
Watching him with Claire, she couldn’t help feeling envious. Her past romantic pursuits were
often fleeting or ended in heartbreak, but they had always been dramatic and passionate. Now
she realized that true love didn’t need to be dramatic; instead, it was the quiet and steady
happiness that truly endured.

At that moment, she found herself envying Claire for having such a remarkable husband. But she
also understood deep down that meeting someone like Charlie Wade was incredibly rare—
something she felt wasn’t destined for her. Trevor, though far less composed and mature than
Charlie Wade, had shown her that he truly cared for her. He had stood by her in the face of
danger, which was no small thing.

Reflecting on their earlier argument, Tawanna felt a pang of guilt. She decided to take the
initiative and turned to Trevor. “Hey, Trevor…”

Trevor, still processing everything, looked at her. “What’s wrong, Tawanna?”


Tawanna hesitated for a moment, then said, “About the video you took of me arguing with Mr.
Wade…”

Trevor assumed she was still insisting on editing the video to her liking. He responded firmly,
“Tawanna, I’ve already told you—I can’t edit that video to fit your request. Mr. Wade saved our
lives. I can’t betray him like that.”

Tawanna quickly shook her head. “That’s not what I mean. I want you to blur him, his wife, and
his friends’ faces, just like Mr. Wade asked, and then upload the video to the internet.”

Soon, Tawanna, who had calmed herself, returned to the party with Trevor.

Mitsui Yoshitaka, still thinking about Charlie Wade’s request, walked directly to the stage and
addressed all the guests. “Ladies and gentlemen, I just communicated with the Ministry of

had just saved Tawanna and Trevor from the clutches of killers with nothing but his bare hands.

Meanwhile, Tawanna and Trevor, having narrowly escaped death, found themselves feeling
awkward in each other’s presence. Their relationship had been on shaky ground even before they
were deceived and put in danger. Not long ago, they had faced a potential breakup, with
Tawanna expressing doubts and saying she needed to reconsider their relationship—a sentiment
that was almost a declaration of ending things.

Now, after the ordeal, they hadn’t clearly resolved whether they wanted to get back together.
Tawanna would occasionally glance at Trevor but also stole quiet looks at Charlie Wade.
Watching him with Claire, she couldn’t help feeling envious. Her past romantic pursuits were
often fleeting or ended in heartbreak, but they had always been dramatic and passionate. Now
she realized that true love didn’t need to be dramatic; instead, it was the quiet and steady
happiness that truly endured.

At that moment, she found herself envying Claire for having such a remarkable husband. But she
also understood deep down that meeting someone like Charlie Wade was incredibly rare—
something she felt wasn’t destined for her. Trevor, though far less composed and mature than
Charlie Wade, had shown her that he truly cared for her. He had stood by her in the face of
danger, which was no small thing.

Reflecting on their earlier argument, Tawanna felt a pang of guilt. She decided to take the
initiative and turned to Trevor. “Hey, Trevor…”

Trevor, still processing everything, looked at her. “What’s wrong, Tawanna?”


Tawanna hesitated for a moment, then said, “About the video you took of me arguing with Mr.
Wade…”

Trevor assumed she was still insisting on editing the video to her liking. He responded firmly,
“Tawanna, I’ve already told you—I can’t edit that video to fit your request. Mr. Wade saved our
lives. I can’t betray him like that.”

Tawanna quickly shook her head. “That’s not what I mean. I want you to blur him, his wife, and
his friends’ faces, just like Mr. Wade asked, and then upload the video to the internet.”

“Ah?” Trevor thought he had misheard her and quickly asked, “Tawanna, why would you want
to do that?”

Tawanna pressed her lips together, a conflicted expression on her face. She said, “I think what
you and Mr. Wade said is absolutely right. Some things shouldn’t be discussed publicly, just like
rated movies aren’t meant for children who don’t meet the age requirement. But while movies
have ratings, the opinions of public figures don’t. Children see the things we say, do, and
support. As you mentioned, some kids might mistakenly view the things we advocate as trends
and blindly follow them. That’s why I want the conversation between Mr. Wade and me to be
seen by the entire world. I want to urge everyone to stop creating a distorted social environment
for children.”

Trevor stared at Tawanna in astonishment and blurted out, “Honey, if that video is released,
you’ll be the one criticized. You’re the one Mr. Wade refuted, and the audience will definitely
judge you harshly. That can’t be good for your image!”

Tawanna smiled bitterly and said, “Trevor, we almost lost our lives. What could possibly be
worse than that?”

Trevor still felt torn, deeply concerned about Tawanna’s career. He said, “Honey, if you really
want people to hear Mr. Wade’s message, maybe I can just edit the parts where he speaks and
blur out his face. That way, his words can spread, and it won’t damage your reputation. Wouldn’t
that work better?”

Tawanna shook her head resolutely. “I know you’re trying to protect me, but Mr. Wade is a very
low-key person. If his face is blurred and his identity remains unknown, the outside world won’t
pay attention to what he says. You know how these platforms work. Their algorithms and
promotion strategies don’t care about morality or right and wrong—they just chase hot topics.
They won’t push a video featuring an anonymous person with a hidden face.”
She paused for a moment before continuing, “But if I’m in the video, it’s a different story. The
clip will definitely catch attention on social media and in the news. Think about it—an
anonymous person refuting Tawanna Sweet, leaving her speechless. How many people would
want to watch that? The video would spread like wildfire. Isn’t that exactly what we want? To let
more people hear those important words? This is the only way we can achieve that goal.”
