The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



When Christopher and Harold heard this, the father and son duo who were lying on the bed were both completely stunned for more than a minute. Harold was still in disbelief as he spoke up and asked, "Grandma... You're not joking with me and just teasing me, right?"

"How I wish that I was just joking!" Lady Wilson said resentfully, "I would never have dreamt that the noble man who helped Wendy would be him. If I could choose, I'd rather choose anyone else rather than him."

Harold had a puzzled expression on his face as he said, "But... But why would Charlie help Wendy? It would only be reasonable to say that Charlie should be holding a grudge against us, and he should be more than eager to make a laughingstock out of us. So, why would he help us?"

Wendy spoke up, "Brother, you should not try to measure the stature of a great man using the yardstick of a small person. Brother-in-Law might have had a grudge against us before this, but that is also because we have constantly been finding fault with Brother-in-Law and his family. Brother-in-Law has never taken the initiative to find fault with us before!"

Harold was a little depressed as he said, "The reason why we are constantly finding fault with them is also because they are always going against us. Not to mention anything else and if we were to just talk about Claire, she has always refused to listen to and obey Grandma even though Grandma asked her to divorce Charlie long ago. After that, she even left Wilson Group to start up her own business after suffering a little grievance. As for Jacob and Elaine, both of them are also not filial toward Grandma at all. They refused to agree to it when Grandma wanted to move into their villa, and they even sent her to the detention center!"

Wendy reprimanded Harold in a stern tone, "Why haven't you figured it all out by now? Don't you realize that we have always been the ones in the wrong all along? Since Claire was not willing to divorce Charlie, who are we to force her to do so? Freedom of marriage and freedom of love. Our country has been talking about this for so many years now. So, why can't we respect her decision and choice, then?"

"As for the matter where Claire decided to set up her own business, don't you have a clear idea in your heart as to why she decided to set up her own business in the first place?"

"Claire took the initiative to get the contract from Emgrand Group. So, logically speaking, Grandma should have just kept her promise and given the position as the director to her. But what did you do? You spoke ill of Claire in front of Grandma, and you even slandered her, accusing her of having an affair with Wendell Jones. In the end, you finally convinced Grandma to give you the position as the director. That alone would have already broken Claire's heart. If I were to be placed in her shoes, I would not want to continue staying in Wilson Group either!"

Harold's face flushed red in anger and embarrassment. He wanted to refute her words, but he could not find any reason to. So, he said, "We will not talk about this matter first. Let's talk about how their family of four was living in such a big villa after they moved into their new villa. Isn't it only right for them to invite Grandma to go over and live with them so that she could enjoy life a little?"NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

"On what grounds?" Wendy spoke

up, "To be honest, Grandma has never been fond of their family, and it is already bad enough that she had never given them any benefits at all. Besides that, she would always try t o give them trouble and bring discomfort to them every now and then. Grandma even kicked them out of the house. So, why should they invite Grandma to go and live in their villa? You should place yourself in their shoes. Would you do that if you were them?"

Although Lady Wilson was very upset in her heart, she could not refute Wendy's words directly. After all, Wendy was the pillar of the family now, and Wendy had almost had a fallout with her earlier. So, Lady Wilson did not dare to confront her now, and she could only sit at the side like a punching bag without saying anything at all.

Harold did not have anything to say to refute Wendy's words at all and his face was flushed red as he said," Then, our mother's hatred is totally understandable, right? Charlie sent our mother to the black coal kiln. Can you forgive him for that?!" 3

Wendy questioned him in return, "Then, why don't you tell me why Charlie sent our mother to the black coal kiln?"

Harold was suddenly speechless.

In truth, he knew very well in his heart that in the final analysis, his father and mother were the ones who were harboring ill intentions toward Charlie and his family. They were the ones who had joined forces with others in order to set up a trap for Elaine.

However, they would not have expected Charlie to see right through their scheme.

So, in the end, his mother's matter was also entirely self-inflicted. It was completely meaningless for him to try and defend and cover up for the wrongdoer.

Wendy then spoke up at this time, "Brother, you are already almost thirty years old now. So, you should stop looking at problems like a child even now. You have to learn how to recognize reality and distinguish between right and wrong!" 2

As she spoke, Wendy was still a little sorrowful as she said, "Our family is already long different from what it used to be in the past. Based on our current situation, once Dad and you have fully recovered, the both of you will also have to go out and look for a job to help and support the family. If you are still so immature and cannot distinguish between right and wrong, how are you going to be able to gain a foothold in society? You will also need to start your own family in the future, establish your own career, and also have children to continue our family lineage! You cannot always be as muddle-headed as you are now, right?" 6
