Bruce hadn't always possessed such bravery. However, Charlie's psychological cues were remarkably effective and Bruce harbored a deep-seated resentment toward the Rothschild family.
In the past, Bruce had managed to suppress his loathing for the Rothschilds out of sheer fear. But now, that fear has dissipated. Consequently, even when Howard Rothschild personally called him, Bruce wouldn't yield an inch.
In this moment, Howard found himself taken aback by Bruce's audacity. The more he faced Bruce's resolve, the less inclined he was to provoke him further. So, he swallowed his anger and spoke patiently, "Bruce, I understand you've been deeply hurt. It's a grave insult, and no one can face such a situation calmly."
With empathy, Howard added, "However, we're all adults, and in the adult world, every issue can be resolved through business. Moreover, as long as the price is right, there's no business deal that can't be negotiated. So, all you need to do is name a price you find satisfactory to let go of your grudges and move on."
Bruce responded with disdain, "Do you think my dignity as a man can be bought with money?"
