The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 218

"Joanne, do you ever listen to yourself? Douglas is our best buddy, he will undoubtedly give us a hand if we need help."

A man with a square face spoke up. He picked up his glass and downed it in one go.

Charlie glanced over at them briefly. He remembered them as his collegemates. The woman’s name was Joanne Hampton, and the man's name was Jerry McLean.

Douglas replied timidly, "Oh no, I cannot take credit for all of that. Sigh, it's a long story, just forget about it!" 1

He then looked at Charlie, feeling grateful with a tinge of emotion.

It had been a stroke of misfortune to have been with a cheater and sl*t that he had almost lost everything to her, even getting beaten up for that. 1

Luckily, thanks to Charlie's help, he was able to reclaim ownership of the restaurant and receive two million in compensation. Thus, everything that he owned now was literally because of Charlie. He couldn’t take any credit for that. 3

Hence, he changed the subject and started, "Anyway, Jerry, you’re pretty well off now, aren't you? I heard that you are one of the top executives in your company! I bet you must be making six figures a year." 2

Jerry answered with a sigh, "Ah, forget it. The company doesn't treat me fairly. I'm about to resign and send my resume to Spikeworth Corps to try my luck. Remember George? George Harris? I heard that h e is a senior manager there, a solid position! Who would have thought that the kid is doing so well now!" 3

"Oh, George..." Douglas managed an awkward smile. H e was not on good terms with George, which was why George had not been invited to tonight's dinner. 1

However, Jerry and George were quite close. If Spikeworth accepted him, he would be appointed to a distinguished position with George's recommendation.

Doreen spoke after pondering for a while, "I heard that Spikeworth is a big company in Aurous Hill that has very good reviews. Wow, I didn't know that George is doing so well now, either."
