The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Charlie looked at Herman and asked seriously, "Was it really you?"

Herman nodded repeatedly and clenched his teeth as he said, "Really... It was really me..."

"Alright, then." Charlie spoke up and said, "Since it's you, you can stay back, then. Many things are waiting to be

done in this family right now, and this is the critical moment to employ people. As for the descendants of the

Wade family, they will basically be staying on Mount Wintry to mourn for the next three years. So, this is the time

for the Wade family's collateral families to make more contributions to the family."

When Theodore heard this, he started protesting immediately, "Mr. Wade! Although we share the slast

name, we have already becindependent long ago, and our family has our own affairs. How can we simply

leave our own family affairs aside and run off to serve the Wade family at such a time?! Besides, ours is a small

business to begin with, and it's not like your family business. Wouldn't it be even more difficult in the future if we

were to delay our own affairs?"

As he spoke, he hurriedly looked at the people around him as he tried to stir up trouble and said, "Everyone,

don't you think that what I've just said is reasonable? Our family is already a large family with over a trillion

dollars’ worth of assets. We were already forced to take out half of our family fortune just now, and the Wade

family also took Ten Thousand Armies under our command. So, the Wade family's strength is actually much

stronger compared to the strength of all the Wade family's collateral families combined. How can they cand

steal the manpower from the collateral families again?!"

The others also felt more or less discontented in their hearts.

Theodore's words really touched the main point that incited them.

The main point was that the Wade family was already rich and powerful. They had already exacted so much

money from everyone and even forced everyone to sign an installment contract. Now, they were still thinking of

robbing manpower directly from the collateral families? This was indeed a little unjustified.

However, although they were all dissatisfied in their hearts, Charlie had not forced them to provide manpower

for them. So, at this time, none of them dared to help Theodore, and everyone simply lowered their heads, not

saying a word.

Theodore becanxious, and he blurted out," Everyone, why don't you say something? You should at least

give a few comments, right?"

No one responded.

Charlie looked at Theodore and smiled as he said,"

You're young, but you really have a lot of ideas. Moreover, your skills are indeed there."

As Charlie spoke of this, he then said again, "However, you have overlooked one very important thing. Skills are

worth nothing at all in front of absolute power."

Theodore was completely flustered as soon as Charlie saw right through him.

At this time, Charlie continued saying, "I don't care if your family's current business has anything to do with the

Wade family or not, but | just want to know where your family got the funds to start your family's business to

begin with? Wasn't the money from the Wade family?"

The father and son duo did not dare to respond for a while.

At this time, Jeremiah spoke up and said, "Charlie, when Herman's family first separated from us, they were in

the furniture business in ancient Oskia. After they separated from us, the Wade family gave them two hundred

thousand foreign shares which account for 30% of the shares in their business. The Wade family also introduced

them to many businesses."

"Later on, when Oskia was established, Herman's father took the opportunity to make a cunning play. He knew

that his own background was not good and so in order to reverse the local

commune's impression of them, he took the initiative to donate to the local commune. In truth, he only donated

one-tenth, but when he reported this matter to the Wade family, he said that he had donated everything."

"After that, he was silent for two years to start anew, and he opened up a factory again. However, because of the

change of name, the 30% shares belonging to the Wade family also naturally did not count. Everyone knew

about this matter, but it was just that we did not delve into it."

Charlie sneered when he heard this, and he said, "Did you hear that? The Wade family's collateral families have

a long history of trying to swindle the Wade family. If | were to really try to look into this matter, none of you

would be able to withstand the investigation." Herman and his son, Theodore, were both extremely nervous at

this time. They bowed their heads and did not dare to speak up.

Charlie looked at Theodore at this

tand said coldly, "I asked you to stay to help share the Wade family's worries and for you to contribute to the

Wade family. On one hand, it is so that you can pay the Wade family back for the support and help that we have

given to you, and on the other hand, I'm also giving you a good opportunity to get preferential treatment for

your own family!"

"If you are honest and do your best to contribute to the Wade family for two years, your family might even be

able to get a discount on the monthly installment rate of 0.006%." "If you perform well, it is also entirely possible

forto give you complete relief with just a wave of my hand!"

"However, if you still dare to continue playing tricks with this family, you're simply hopeless and incorrigible even

after repeated teachings!"

"In that case, your family can also cto Mount Wintry to observe the mourning for three years!"
