The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1621

Stephen managed a bitter smile when he heard Charlie’s question and said forlornly, "Mr. Charlie, the vast majority of people in the world is ungrateful and often take things for granted. Only when in need of others will they cling to them and enjoy the benefits and support that is blessed to them, but once they don’t need help, they will turn the other way and even, in turn, blame those who helped them, just to steal their limelight..." s

At this point, Stephen said in a rather dejected tone," When your father led these families to fight the Rothschild family, they all sucked up to him, so much so that they even took the initiative to establish an Eastcliff Business Alliance and elected your father as the first chairman of the alliance..."

"But after your father had defeated the Rothschild family, they immediately disbanded the alliance and even slandered your father's reputation by accusing him of failing to manage and secure an absolute victory against the Rothschild family. There were even some who maliciously slandered your father, saying that he and the Rothschild family were working together to limit and destroy the financial opportunities that were available for the big families i n Eastcliff..." 4

Charlie balled his fists so tightly that the veins popped up on the back of his palm as he listened to

Stephen recalling the past events. He growled in a deep voice, "These people have gone too far!"

Stephen sighed. "Oh, Mr. Charlie. It is a norm to find this kind of ungrateful people all over the big families i n Eastcliff. Back then, your father went from being a hero of the Rothschild resistance to being the target of jealousy and slander by everyone in the city. It was because your father was too excellent!"

At this point, Stephen paused for a moment before adding, "The tall poppy syndrome is a norm in every society and era. Your father was too brilliant that the whole Eastcliff turned their guns on him eventually..." 4

"Seeing that he had become a target, the Rothschild family immediately made a comeback. In fact, they were so insidious as to publicly declare that it was their personal enmity with the Wade family and him, causing the families to sit on the fence and watch their fight with indifference." i

Stephen began to get more furious as he continued, "A s your father became the target of the Rothschild family's attack and the sneaky motives from the other big families in Eastcliff to drag him down, your grandfather had no choice but to expel your father from the Wade family and announce to the public that your father had broken ties with the Wade family. That was why your father took you and your mother with him to leave Eastcliff and go to Aurous Hill."
