The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Everyone returned to their seats while Lady Wilson walked on stage hand-in-hand with Claire.

She gave a gentle and sweet smile as she said, "I'm really sorry for what happened earlier, I made a mistake. Actually, Claire is the outstanding descendant of our Wilson family. Thanks to her, we are able to score such a lucrative contract with Emgrand Group. She has made great efforts for such a n amazing achievement.” 3

Standing next to them, Doris glanced at the old lady contemptuously. She waved her hand, gesturing at her to stop talking, and said, "Allow me to correct something. Miss Claire has not only made great efforts for this project but she has accomplished it by her own efforts entirely. It has nothing to do with anyone." 1

She sounded very impolite and rude, but everyone was accustomed to it. With Emgrand Group's status in the city, even if Doris slapped Lady Wilson right there and then, she dared not say anything. 1

Lady Wilson nodded quickly. "Yes, Miss Young is absolutely right. Claire deserves all the credit for her efforts. From now on, she will be the director of our Wilson Group! She will be fully in charge of the project between Wilson Group and Emgrand Group!" 2

Eventually, Doris smiled and shook hands with Claire.

"I look forward to our collaboration."

Claire was still in a trance and she managed to nod in confusion.

Loud applause resonated across the hall. Everyone looked at Claire with enthusiasm and admiration. 1

What kind of background was this woman related to? How could she make Emgrand Group so passionate about her?

Claire was equally confused and curious. She turned t o look at Charlie and his voice appeared in her mind again. This scene was exactly the same as Charlie illustrated earlier-Grandma had appointed her as the director, which was supposed to be the role belonging t o her to begin with. 1

Claire was still in a state of bewilderment even after the banquet ended and returning home.

Recalling what Charlie had said earlier, she started to feel a little odd about his recent behavior. He seemed t o have changed a little over the past few days.

There seemed to be something different about him. There were a lot of things she couldn’t understand as i f he was shrouded in a misty fog.

Overnight, Claire's name spread like wildfire in Aurous Hill!

Everyone knew that the Wilson family had an outstanding descendant who could attract Emgrand Group's attention to help her relentlessly! i

With her around, it's just a matter of time for the Wilson family to revive!

Early the next morning, Claire woke up early and hurried to the company in an energetic mode.

Today was her first day as director and she hoped she could do the best she could and get this thing completed. 1

As for Charlie, after getting up, he started doing household chores as usual. 1

When he was about to go to the market to buy the ingredients for lunch, he suddenly received a call from Elaine, his mother-in-law. 1 Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

As soon as he answered the call, Elaine's anxious voice resonated loudly. "Charlie, I demand you to come to Pinnacle Avenue within ten minutes. If you don't, just wait until I get home!" 1

She hung up the phone without waiting for him to say anything. 1

Charlie was confused. His mother-in-law had disappeared early in the morning. Based on her voice o n the phone, she sounded as if something urgent had happened. 1

Although Charlie was very disgusted with her, he didn’t dare disobey her. After packing up his bag, he rushed out, took a cab, and went to Pinnacle Avenue.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a group of seniors surrounded a closed insurance company door menacingly. 3

His mother-in-law was standing at the front of the crowd, holding a banner in her hands and shouting furiously, "D*mn you, Axel! Liar! We want our rights! Return my money!" 6

Charlie hurried forward and urged, "Mom, why did you call me? What's going on?" 43

As he was talking, the loud protest was shouted right into his ears. The seniors were shouting their lungs out and they were so loud that he wondered if his eardrums were still functioning. 3

Elaine pulled Charlie over to let him take her place, and commanded, "Come on, shout these for me! I've been shouting for the whole morning and my throat hurts."
