The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Graham smiled before he spoke again respectfully, "M r. Wade, we will never forget your kindness toward the Quinton family. It might be a little rushed today as we did not have any time to make any preparations at all, however, I would like to invite you to the Quinton family mansion for dinner tomorrow. I would like to host a banquet to personally thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wade.” 4

"It’s okay, I have something on tomorrow." Charlie replied indifferently as he shook his head. "The only reason why I helped you today is because I know that you have always done a lot of good deeds for others. Otherwise, I would not have helped you at all. Do you understand what I am saying?" 3

Graham was taken aback at this. Still, he laughed before nodding. "I understand! Mr. Wade, please do not hesitate to come and look for me if you need any help i n the future. The Quinton family will always welcome you."

After that, Graham hurriedly took out a gold-plated business card that contained his personal contact information on it. 1

Charlie took the business card from Graham without even looking at it before turning around and leading his father-in-law out of the place. 2

Graham continued staring at their backs as he

watched the two of them slowly leave the place. After that, he turned around and glared at Adam. "From now on, I want you to bow and greet Mr. Wade in a respectful manner if you ever run into him in Aurous Hill. Do not cause me any more trouble!"

Adam replied in an aggrieved manner. "I did not know that I would be offending someone like him on this street..." 2

Aurora had a cold expression on her face, and she gritted her teeth as she watched Charlie walk away. 2

Even though she really respected Charlie for his skills and knowledge, she could not forget nor forgive him for kicking her on the ass. 5

After all, for an arrogant girl like her, this kind of thing was simply unforgivable. 3

Graham sighed as he tried to comfort her. "Aurora, don't try to retaliate against Mr. Wade, okay? Our family is counting on him to pull through this misfortune..."

"Do you think it will really work?" Adam muttered.

Graham could not stop himself from scolding Adam yet again. "If you continue to spout nonsense, I will break your legs immediately!" 4

Adam kept quiet because he did not dare to provoke his uncle further. 1

Aurora too stomped her feet bitterly as she said, "I know dad... I will not provoke him..."

However, the more she thought about it, the angrier and more uncomfortable she felt. 1

"It is really such a pity..." Graham suddenly sighed as h e shook his head.

Aurora turned around to look at him before she asked, "What is a pity?"

Graham glanced at her before he said, "Unfortunately, Mr. Wade is already married. Otherwise, I think that the both of you would make a perfect match..." 6

"Dad, what are you talking about?!" Aurora replied in embarrassment and annoyance. 1

Jacob was still very surprised as they made their way back home. 2

He could not believe that the head of the Quinton family would actually be so respectful toward his son-i n-law who was a nobody at all.

"Charlie, was anything you said to Mr. Quinton true at all?"

Jacob could not help but ask Charlie because he was very confused. It seemed as though his son- in-law was becoming more and more of a liar. 3

Charlie chuckled before replying, "Well, half of it is true, and half of it is probably false. Isn't it interesting t 0 keep it as mysterious as possible?"

Jacob was shocked at Charlie's reply and reprimanded him immediately. "Oh my God, what have you done? I can't believe that you would actually dare to lie to the Quinton family. You even accepted such an expensive jade bracelet from them! Do you know what they could do to us if they found out that you were lying to them?" 4

Charlie shook his head as he replied, "What's the big deal? At most, I will just return the jade bracelet to them. What can they do to me? Kill me?"

Jacob could only sigh as there was nothing else that h e could do. He was obviously worried, but after thinking about it, there was really nothing much that the Quinton family could do to them. Perhaps, Charlie’s method would really work to help the Quinton family. They could only take that gamble. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Upon returning home, Charlie went into his bedroom before taking out the 'Peace and Wealth' pebble that h e had bought from Zachary. 1

Suddenly, he felt a surge of energy from the pebble penetrating into his body. 6

It made him feel very warm, but his chest and stomach felt extremely uncomfortable.

Shortly after that, Charlie began sweating excessively, and there were black impurities that were discharged from his body. After that was done, Charlie could feel his body gradually relaxing itself.
