The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1998

Wendy said, "Gerald and I had gone upstairs to meet Doris. Not only did she refuse to see us, but she also humiliated us by saying that Emgrand Group wouldn’t cooperate with those of the lower class like us. Soon afterward, Gerald was beaten up by Emgrand Group's security guard..."

Wendy then continued, "Later on, Emgrand Group terminated the partnership with the White family. Gerald's father and uncle were very furious. Ever since then, Gerald started to stray away from me while his uncle, Zeke, had grown closer with Charlie. He even gifted Charlie the villa next to his..."

"After that, the agreement between Claire and Emgrand Group had been terminated as a result of Grandma breaking her promise. Since then, our family has gone downhill..."

"Wendell used to pursue Claire. Amidst that, his family was declared bankrupt. Since then, he had also disappeared into thin air..."

"Likewise, Jason Grant used to court Claire.

Eventually, Jason and his father, Justin disappeared. Today, the Grant family are still looking for them with a promise of huge reward."

"Kenneth Wilson, who had initially come over to support our family, was subsequently beaten up by Charlie. Not only had he become infertile, but he also

had to return to Eastcliff bleakly." "Later, Kenneth handed me over to Jeffrey Weaver. Jeffrey despised Charlie and in the end, he and his father had disappeared. The Weaver family's business has now been taken over by their illegitimate child. Rumors have it that nowadays, the grandfather and his heir are looking for ginseng at Mount Golmin." 2

The moment Hannah heard of these gossips, she immediately rose up energetically. She smacked the coffee table and shouted angrily, "That b*stard Charlie! He was the one who sent me to Mount

Blackpine! Curse him! He was the mastermind behind everything!"

Wendy asked her hurriedly, "Mother, do you think Charlie has some hidden ability? Otherwise, he wouldn't have so much influence that everyone is no match for him, would he?!"

Hannah stared at her with her eyes opened wide. She then blurted out, "Your words make sense! He must've done something to the luck and fortune which has caused our family to be so unfortunate. He's getting worse!” 3

Wendy nodded her head hurriedly, then she said, "I do think it's very possible! Otherwise, how could he have gone from zero to hero? Mother, we need to think of ways!"

Hannah cried, "What can I do? We can't even afford meals. We need strong support in order to fight against Charlie and his family!"

Wendy said hurriedly, "Mother, we’re not fighting against Charlie. We've lost to him once, let alone with his capability today..."

She then said earnestly, "Mother, Claire is my cousin, s 0 Charlie is naturally my cousin too. We can take the initiative to be close with them in order to request for their help. If worse comes to worse, I can be Charlie's concubine!"
