The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5893

Stephen, who had been silent the whole time, stepped forward and said respectfully, “Young Master, Lord Wade has already prepared a banquet to welcome you. Please go in with Miss Lavor and have something to eat first!”

Jeremiah also came to his senses and hurriedly said, “That’s right, Charlie! You rarely come to Eastcliff. When I heard that you were suddenly coming tonight, I quickly had some food and drinks prepared. You can accompany me for a few drinks later, Charlie.”

Charlie nodded lightly and said, “Okay, let's go in and eat while we chat.”

Charlie felt both familiar and strange now that he had returned to the old mansion where he had spent several years of his childhood. Although the mansion remained the same as it was before with no major changes, when Charlie lived here in the past, the mansion was always bustling with activity and voices.

Back then, Charlie's father, Curtis, was highly regarded in the Wades. Although Jeremiah had not formally passed on the position as the head of the family to him, at that time, he was already the actual leader of the entire Wades. The Wades prospered under his leadership, and the entire family was unprecedentedly united.

At the time, both Clayton and Carmen were willing to follow Curtis’ lead because they both knew that they would reap far more benefits playing a supporting role by Curtis’ side than if they played the lead role themselves.

Therefore, everyone was happy and relaxed as they followed Curtis’ lead and waited for him to allocate resources to them.

However, since Curtis' death, the Wades had lost the key figure who had bound the entire family together. Everyone began to have their own thoughts. Clayton hoped to inherit the position as the head of the family as soon as possible, whereas Carmen and several others hoped to divide the family’s assets and secure their own interests as soon as possible. Since then, the Wades had never regained the unity and prosperity it once had.

In recent years, with the completion of the Wades’ family manor, most of the Wades family members had moved out of this old mansion. Only a few servants remained here to maintain the old mansion, so it now appeared somewhat desolate.

When they arrived at the dining room, the table was already filled with sumptuous food and wine. Jeremiah invited Charlie and Vera to take their seats. Stephen, who was standing aside, took the initiative to open a bottle of white wine and poured a glass for both Jeremiah and Charlie before he respectfully stood behind Jeremiah.

Charlie looked at him, then spoke up and said, “Mr. Thompson, why don't you sit down and join us for a meal this time?”
