 Chapter 3501 is over

The commander-in-chief on the other end of the line felt completely awful.

He hated the feeling of lashing out with a big stick, only to have it vanish into thin air just as it was about to bruise the opponent.

The commander-in-chief couldn't understand why Bernard Arnold had dared to challenge his authority and demand a $50 billion fine.

It felt like threatening someone with a slap in the face for disobedience, and instead of begging for mercy, they begged him to shoot them.

Furious and humiliated, he still took Bernard Elno's sincerity as a provocation, so he said coldly, "Okay, I understand, Elno. You think you're a hero now, that I dare not do anything to you, so you don't have to fear anything. But don't worry, I will make you pay the price!"

After that, he gritted his teeth and hung up the phone, immediately calling out to his staff, "Find a way to strengthen Bernard Elno's group and see if we can reasonably and effectively increase its tariffs. Once the White Horse Island incident has passed, we can find loopholes in his group. It would be best to fine him a large sum of money! I want to make him suffer!!!"

One of the chubby and bearded guys said, "Commander-in-Chief, the whole world is watching Bernard Elno now. If we rashly impose tariffs on his industries or investigate his group, it will easily be seen as deliberate retaliation for the White Horse Island incident and the Blackwater incident. So I think we should wait for the time being."

"Wait? I can't wait even a bit!" The President smoothed his smooth bangs and gritted his teeth, saying, "This old b@stard didn't even give me the slightest bit of face and even had the audacity to ask me to fine him $50 billion! I really can't issue a $50 billion fine, but at least $500 million should make him lose something, right?"

The bearded man was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Why don't we pass a bill calling on the American people to minimize unnecessary luxury spending? To achieve this goal, we'll raise tariffs on all luxury goods, whether they're from France, Italy, or even Britain. As long as they're luxury goods, the tax will be increased by 50%."

"If anyone asks why we're doing this, we'll say that European luxury goods are draining the American people's wallets. Americans should be using their money to buy domestically produced goods and make America great again, rather than spending their hard-earned money on European-made junk that's worth only one-fiftieth of the price."

The President's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. After all, our supporters are ordinary working-class people. Those high-income people not only don't vote for us, but they're constantly mocking us on social media. We can use this opportunity to give them a slap in the face."

Meanwhile, after Bernard Erno hung up the phone with the President, he felt incredibly refreshed.

He was like a player who'd found a bug in an online game where they could grind for experience, and now they'd found the highest-level boss to grind for experience. Now they were just waiting for the moment when their experience points would skyrocket and they'd drop top-tier equipment.

Seeing him look so smug after mocking the American President, his wife couldn't help but grumble, "I advise you not to get too carried away with your heroics. You're going against the American President for your ridiculous sense of justice. If he really sanctions you, you'll lose at least hundreds of millions of dollars a year, maybe even more."

"What do you know?" Bernard Elno snorted. Summer insects can't talk about ice. His wife didn't know about the rejuvenation pill. If she knew, she'd definitely be even more crazy than he was. After all, the amount she spent on her skincare every year was already astronomical.

So, he closed his eyes, crossed his legs, and thought to himself smugly, "This time in America, I'm going to give the President a hard time!"

...

While Bernard was still flying over the ocean, the sun rose on White Horse Island in the Maldives.

Today was Charlie Wade's family's last day on White Horse Island.

As planned, they were to check out at noon and take a seaplane back to the capital, Male. Then Elaine and Jacob Wilson would go to Dubai, while he and Claire Wilson would take an international flight back to China.

Elaine was naturally reluctant to leave.

The scenery here was beautiful, and the climate was pleasant. Compared to the freezing cold in China and the scorching heat and dryness of Dubai, it was a welcome relief.

Luckily, she now had plenty of US dollars, and the shopping malls in Dubai still held a strong allure. 

As she approached her departure, Claire Wilson felt a bit melancholy. She considered this trip to the Maldives her first and last trip with Charlie Wade.

After returning, she would be leaving him.

Charlie Wade noticed her downturn and asked with concern, "Honey, are you reluctant to leave? How about we stay here for a few more days?"

Claire Wilson forced a smile and shook her head, saying, "No, no matter how reluctant I am, I have to leave. After all, this is just a stop on our journey, not our entire lives."

Charlie Wade couldn't hear the deeper meaning in her words, so he simply smiled and said, "We can come anytime you want in the future."

Charlie Wade felt that Baima Island and JD Island would soon become his own assets. While he couldn't tell Claire Wilson, he could find excuses to bring her here often.

So, he deliberately lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Wife, I heard that the boss of this group also believes in Feng Shui. I'll ask Miss Sweet to help introduce him. Maybe I can get a position as Feng Shui Director here in the future."

Claire Wilson heard him say this, and her smile became even more forced and helpless.

Thinking of Tavana, she asked curiously, "Miss Sweet is also on the island. You have been her Feng Shui Director for so long. She came to the island, but you two haven't met yet, right? We are going back today, and we should say hello to her."

Charlie Wade had always tried his best to avoid seeing Tavana with his wife, but what Claire Wilson said at this moment was human nature. According to the relationship he had laid out before, he and Tavana had worked together before. They happened to land on the same island. It would be a bit unreasonable not to meet and say hello.

So, he asked Claire Wilson, "Wife, why don't we go meet Miss Sweet together, exchange a few words with her, and then go back."

Claire Wilson shook her head and said, "I won't make things worse. You go and say hello to her."

Charlie Wade said, "If you're not going, there's no point in me going alone. Why don't we just leave? Isn't it okay if we don't let her know we've been here?"

"Forget it," Claire Wilson said seriously. "It's such a coincidence that we two can meet on a small island thousands of kilometers away. It's really not right not to say hello. If she finds out later, she'll definitely blame you for being unkind. You go. I'm just packing up in my room."

Seeing that she said that, Charlie Wade could only nod and say, "Okay, I'll ask her on WeChat later."

In fact, Tawanna also knew that Charlie Wade was leaving the island today.

She missed him very much, but because Claire Wilson was also on the island, she had to suppress the urge to see him.

Preoccupied with her thoughts, she was completely lost in thought, completely out of her element.

Her parents, similarly shaken by the impact of the terrorist attacks, had been equally out of their element for the past two days. The three of them often sat together in a daze, their mother even suggesting several times that they leave the Maldives and return to America, but Tawanna remained silent.

After two days, her parents finally recovered from the aftermath of the attacks. Then, her mother realized something was wrong and said to Tawanna, "Honey, I think something's not right."

Looking out at the glassy turquoise sea, Tawanna absentmindedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Her mother replied, "Look, what we've experienced here is known to the entire world, and it's such a huge impact. Trevor couldn't possibly be unaware of it. You two used to be so inseparable. I understand why you didn't bring him on vacation this time. You said he was training for the competition, but after something so serious happened to us, he didn't come to see you. Isn't that a little strange?"

Trevor and Tawanna had always been inseparable, like conjoined twins, constantly glued to each other, a beloved couple recognized throughout the entertainment industry.

But lately, not only have their appearances together become increasingly rare, but their daily interactions have also become less frequent.

Tawanna's mother found it strange that his girlfriend hadn't rushed over to offer comfort, not even a phone call. Tawanna was at a loss for words .

Just before Trevor left China, they had implicitly agreed to marry. By then, she had already realized that a relationship with Charlie Wade was impossible, and even felt a urge to settle things quickly and put aside any other thoughts.

But as her interactions with Charlie Wade grew, and he repeatedly saved her from danger, Tawanna suddenly realized the reality: she might never be able to overcome her feelings for him.

For Tawanna now, even if she couldn't have Charlie Wade, it didn't matter, but she didn't want to settle.

Trevor was that person.

If she still wanted to settle, she should suppress her true feelings and maintain the relationship.

But since she didn't want to settle, there was no point in continuing to waste time with him.

Originally, she had thought about breaking up with Trevor directly.

But after thinking about it, Trevor was her longest-term boyfriend after all, and she didn't want to appear too heartless. If she could let him let go on his own initiative, perhaps that would be the best outcome.

So, Tavana kissed Charlie Wade passionately at the concert, and even sang the song "Assassin" on the island where she had kissed Charlie Wade passionately, just to express her feelings to Trevor and let him know that she still couldn't let go of Charlie Wade!

Trevor had never contacted her, and even when she encountered such a big thing, he still didn't ask a single question. It can be seen that he had understood her feelings and decided to let go as well.

Now, her mother suddenly asked about Trevor. Tavana hesitated for a moment and murmured, "Mom, Dad, Trevor and I are over..."
