The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 7

Looking at her parents ridiculing Charlie, Claire sighed and said, "Dad, Mom, don’t blame Charlie for this. It was my idea, I just don't want our family to be looked down on anymore. Haven’t we suffered enough all these years?"

Claire's mother blurted, "But still, you can't take on such a task. It's not just you-even if your grandma goes in person, they wouldn't entertain her!"

Charlie managed a bitter smile as he watched the bickering. He bet that his snobbish in-laws would never believe that he was the real owner of Emgrand Group.

At this exact moment, there was a knock on the door.

“I'm coming..."

Elaine heaved a distressing sigh as she walked to the door and opened it.

Charlie shifted his gaze to the door and saw a young man donning an Armani suit standing at the door.

The man looked very charming and alluring with a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, which seemed to b e worth at least four million dollars.

Elaine shrieked excitedly, "Hey, Wendell! Why are you here?"

The man was Wendell Jones, the young man of the

Jones family who had been pursuing Claire relentlessly.

Wendell donned a smile and said, "Auntie, I heard about Claire's negotiation with the Emgrand Group, so I'm here to give her some ideas.”

"Wow, you really are our family's life savior!"

Elaine was very excited and thrilled, and she looked at him like she was looking adoringly at her son-in-law. She quickly welcomed him into the house and said," Wendell, could you help Claire to win Emgrand Group's contract?"

Wendell nodded with a polite smile. He ignored Charlie entirely, treating him like a lowly ant. He walked straight to Claire and said gently, "Claire, why didn’t you tell me anything about this? This is huge. Anyway, don't worry, my family has some connections with Emgrand Group. I'll speak to my father, let's see how we can help you with this."

Frankly, Wendell's father wasn’t as influential as he claimed to be, but he was simply trying to win Claire's heart by saying so.

Claire knew that Wendell had feelings for her all along, so she said indifferently, "Wendell, I appreciate your kind offer, but no thanks, I'll find a way myself.”

Elaine gaped in bewilderment and chided, "Claire, are you crazy? Mr. Jones is kind and generous enough to pay you a visit and help you, how could you say such things?"
