The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



At this moment, Chandler used a match to ignite the seal incense which had been pressed into the shape of a lotus flower, and then said to Charlie with a smile," Young Master Wade, you should not be repelled by the smell of incense, right?"

Charlie smiled slightly and looked at the smoke that rose into the air as he sniffed the unique aroma of the agarwood that had been ignited, and he only felt extraordinarily relaxed. So, he spoke up and said, "Old Master Lennard, you are indeed elegant. I've only smelled this kind of seal incense because I was with my mother as a child, and after so many years have passed, the scent still lingers in my memory now that I am smelling it again.” Chandler nodded and said seriously, "Your mother was very famous in the United States. It was said that when she was alive, she spared no effort in promoting the Oskian traditional culture in the United States. Many noble young ladies from the upper-class society in the United States are all proud of being able to emulate her, and they have been fond of seal incense for many years. The price of agarwood in the United States was stable for decades until your mother's seal incense became popular amongst the upper-class society, and that was when the price of agarwood in the United States increased more than fivefold within a year."

Charlie asked curiously, "Old Master Lennard, have you ever met my mother?"

"Yes, I have." Chandler nodded slightly and said seriously, "Young Master Wade, in truth, I have been friends with your maternal great-grandfather for many years. When we met, your maternal grandfather was still an infant, and your great-grandfather also invited me to celebrate your mother's full moon celebration."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Charlie's maternal great-grandfather was his maternal grandfather's father as well as the founder of the Acker family.

However, Charlie had never met this maternal great-grandfather before. Charlie had not been born yet when he had passed away.

When Charlie heard Chandler's hidden story, he was surprised, and he asked, "Old Master Lennard, you were friends with my maternal great- grandfather?"

"Yes." Chandler smiled slightly and explained, "Your maternal greatgrandfather was similar to me in age, and I met him in 1938 when the both of us headed to the United States on the same ship." "So, that's how it is!" Charlie spoke and then stood up as he clasped one of his hands over the other and bowed to Chandler.

Chandler quickly got up, and he was a little flattered as he said, "Young Master Wade, you have the fate of the dragon. How can you bow to me...? I should be the one bowing to you!"

Charlie said seriously, "You are close friends with my maternal greatgrandfather and so, you are naturally also my elder. So, as a junior, it is only appropriate for me to salute you!"

Chandler said very seriously, "Young Master Wade, I believe in heavenly destiny, and in terms of destiny, you're the king while I am merely a subject. Even if I am over a hundred years old, I am still just a subject when I see you."

When Charlie saw his firm attitude, he stopped arguing and said, "Alright then, Old Master Lennard. Let's just omit this set of etiquette and treat this as a friendship between an old and young man, okay?

What do you think?"

Chandler was stunned for a moment, and he soon nodded with a smile as he said," Okay, fine. I will obey it since you've said s o, Young Master Wade."

After that, the both of them sat down again.

Charlie then remembered something, and h e asked Chandler, "Old Master Lennard, you helped me promote the Rejuvenating Pill in North America. I wonder if my maternal grandfather has ever asked you about it?"

Your maternal grandfather..." Chandler could not help but laugh when he said this, "He does not believe in fate. When he was young, he used to say 'my fate is up to me and not the heavens'. He does not care about fate at all. In the past, he also used to have a prejudice against me, and he thought that I was just a charlatan. So, there is actually little contact between us especially after your maternal greatgrandfather passed away. I believe that even if he is interested in

the Rejuvenating Pill, he will not

come to me to inquire about it."

As he spoke, he then asked Charlie curiously, "Young Master Wade, you must have the list of all the registrants in your hands. I wonder if any members of the Acker family have signed up to participate?" "No." Charlie shook his head and said,"

There is no one with the last name 'Acker' in the registration information."

Chandler nodded and said, "Your maternal grandfather is very arrogant, and there is a very high

probability that he would not come t

to this kind of event to join in the fun unless he knows of the efficacy of the Rejuvenating Pill first. Otherwise, he would never come overin person."

After saying that, Chandler looked at Charlie and exclaimed in admiration, "But then again, Young Master Wade, the rule that you set where the successful bidder would have to take the Rejuvenating Pill on the spot is truly brilliant. It will not only allow all of the participants of the auction to witness the miraculous efficacy of the Rejuvenating Pill, but it will also make all the big shots who want to get their hands on the Rejuvenating Pill show up here in person! I believe that when the next auction for the Rejuvenating Pill is held, many hidden capital giants will definitely come out of their own

accord!"

Having said that. Chandler looked at Charlie and said seriously, "Perhaps, your maternal grandfather will appear on the registration list for next year's auction!"
