The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 3417

But today, none of the cast members who had long negotiated with the Wade family came.

All of them knew that the Wade family was going to face a catastrophe today and so, everyone was avoiding it.

Not to mention these paid cast and crew members, but even more than seven hundred of the Wade family’s collateral family members had also run away, leaving only James behind.

Therefore, they could only helplessly remove many of the processes for the ancestor worship ceremony this time.

Music, song, dance, and rituals were all omitted, and the only thing left was the sacrificial ritual that was performed by the Wade family themselves.

Jeremiah held the memorial text that he had stayed u p many nights to write, and he shed tears as he sighed and said, "What I wrote in this memorial text is all about the prosperity and unity of the Wade family members, as well as the re-creation of the Wade family’s glory. It's a report that I've prepared for the Wade family's ancestors...”

As he spoke of this, Jeremiah let out a long sigh, and h e wrung his wrist with one hand as he said, "But who would have thought that more than seven hundred of

the Wade family’s collateral family members would actually be absent today?! And my children and grandchildren are actually mourning for others! I... I’m really ashamed to face my ancestors! I cannot even bring myself to read this sacrificial text anymore..."

"Moreover, the ancestral rituals that we have originally prepared have almost come to a halt. I don't even know how to explain this to our ancestors now..."

As Jeremiah spoke, he was suddenly overwhelmed with emotions. He choked up several times, and he felt that it was difficult for him to continue speaking.

He was a person with deep family affections and sentiments. At the very least, it was much stronger as compared to those descendants of the Wade family who were kneeling at this time.

When he thought of how shabby and depressing this once-in-twelve years ancestor ceremony was at this time, he felt particularly uncomfortable.

He felt even more pained when he thought of the more than a hundred Wade family’s ancestors who were lying here.

Stephen replied awkwardly, "Young Master, all of their cell phones are either still turned off or not in the service area. I'm guessing they will not turn on their cell phones before the public receives definite news about the incident today."

Charlie frowned and spoke up, "In that case, when Ten Thousand Armies releases the news to the public about the Wade family's admission of defeat and surrender to Ten Thousand Armies, they would definitely want to draw an even clearer line with the Wade family, right?"

"That should be the case." Stephen said respectfully," Young Master, in fact, you should not pay too much attention to most of our collateral families. They have very little practical contribution to the Wade family and on the contrary, they just want to get a share of benefits from the Wade family. To the Wade family, these people are just like those small countries that came to the heavenly kingdom back then. Every time they rush up to worship, it might seem like they’re being very pious, but all of them would want to eat, drink, and live up to their satisfaction in the heavenly kingdom, and they would only leave after getting some benefits. So, the Wade family would actually benefit from drawing a clear line with them."

Jeremiah also spoke up at this time and said," Stephen is right. Many of our collateral families have been relying on the Wade family's resources to support them. For instance, it might only cost 100 million dollars if we give the same business to others t o handle, but it might cost 120 million dollars if the business is given to the Wade family's collateral families to handle. It would be better for us to draw a clear line from such collateral families in the future."

Charlie said coldly, "We definitely have to draw a clear line with them, but we must not allow them to leave without making any losses.”

After saying that, he looked at Porter and spoke up, " Porter, ask your men to let the word out later saying that Ten Thousand Armies has already gotten the full list of names for the Wade family's ancestor worship ceremony this time, and all the Wade family members who were not present today will have to gather at the foot of Mount Wintry by eight o'clock in the morning tomorrow. Anyone who dares to not come will have to bear the consequences of their own actions!"
