The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 9

For an instant, an abrupt and outlandish thought appeared in Claire's mind.

The Mr. Wade that Doris mentioned-could he really b e her husband, Charlie Wade?

When she processed it again, she found it to be too preposterous.

How could it be!

Charlie was an orphan who grew up in a welfare home!

However, who else in the world would treat her so well besides Charlie?

Thirty million dollars was an extravagant hope, but they gave her sixty million...

She couldn't help but asked curiously, "Miss Young, may I know if your chairman is Charlie Wade?"

Doris's heart skipped a beat. The boss had already demanded her to keep his identity secret, only to reveal his last name to the public. She would be blamed if his wife guessed it!

She shook her hands frantically and said, "Miss Wilson, I hope you can drop it. Our chairman is the descendant of a prominent family in Eastcliff. His identity is highly confidential and I have no right to disclose it."

Claire nodded gently. She composed herself upon the mention of the descendant in Eastcliff.

Charlie was an orphan, he was definitely not a so-called descendant from a prominent family. Indeed, she was overthinking it.

Claire still felt a little dizzy and confused when she exited Doris's office.

She was holding a sixty million dollar contract between Wilson Group and Emgrand Group in her hand. 4

Everything unfolded like a dream.

As soon as she saw Charlie at the entrance, she rushed to him excitedly and said, "Charlie, I did it! I did it!"

Charlie grinned in his heart and thought, 'Your husband is the owner of Emgrand Group, of course you'd get the deal.'

However, he pretended to be surprised and said," Wow! You managed to strike the deal for such a tough project! Dear, you're so incredible!”

"Not really, it's not that I'm good at it, but it seems that they had given the project to me for free."

"Huh?" Charlie donned a confused look. "Why do you say that?"

Claire was afraid that Charlie would be jealous if she told him about the chairman's intention, so she quickly diverted his attention and said, "It's a long story. Let's go back to the office now and tell everyone the good news!"

Charlie laughed. "Okay! This time, that b*stard Harold must honor the bet and kneel before me!"

Claire nodded. "Yes! He is always so snobbish and arrogant, let's give him a taste of his own medicine!”

Truth be told, Claire had her own temperament too. Harold and the rest of the family members had always looked down upon her and her husband, but now that she struck the impossible deal, she intended to tame them to be a little bit more humble.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at Wilson Group.

Everyone was sitting in the conference room, looking strange and peculiar.

They knew that Claire had gone to Emgrand Group early in the morning, but no one believed that she could make it, they were here to make fun of her.

Unexpectedly, she came back way earlier than they anticipated.

When Claire and Charlie entered the conference room, everyone was looking at them with a sneering and sarcastic look.
