The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Claire's high school classmate was getting married the next day.

The couple drove a super sports car each as they set off at dawn from the villa at Thompson First to Wylland Park, which was a suburb in Aurous Hill. 2 Wylland Park was about sixty kilometers away from the city center. Although it was a little far away, fortunately, there was a direct highway leading from the city center directly to Wylland Park. 1 Claire's high school classmate lived in the outskirts of Wylland Park. When they had both followed the directions on the navigation system to the community where the other party lived at, they discovered that it turned out to be an old community that was probably a t least twenty to thirty years old. 2 All the houses in this community were no more than six floors high and the houses were all built very densely together. The green paint on the outside of the houses was all already mottled, revealing the color of the cement. 3 The entrance of the community was also very narrow. In addition, there were also a few high speed bumps 0 n the road. In addition, it could be seen at a single glance that the condition of the road was not very good. There were either trash cans occupying the road, or someone's tricycle, bicycle, motorcycle, or dilapidated car parked at the side of the road. Thus, the road leading into the community was very narrow. 6 Charlie was driving the Bugatti ahead. As soon as he caught a glimpse of the entrance of the community, he called his wife, Claire, who was driving the car behind him, and said, "Wife, the conditions of the road in this community is just too complicated. I guess that the chassis of our sports car is also too low. It will be too difficult for us to drive in. Let's just park our car outside and we can walk inside." 2 Claire replied, "Okay, you can park your car first and I'll follow behind." Charlie parked his car at the side of the road and his wife, Claire, also parked the other car directly behind him. 5 After that, both of them got out of their cars. It was early in the morning and the passersby who saw these two top luxury cars suddenly stopping at this small, economically-depressed county stopped to take pictures with their cell phones.

Charlie did not want to be too ostentatious. So, he hurriedly pulled Claire as they walked towards the community. 2 Fortunately, they had both arrived early and there were not many passersby at this time. Otherwise, they would definitely be surrounded by a crowd of people. 1 It was only seven forty in the morning at this time.

After Claire and Charlie entered the community together, Claire could not help but sigh as she said, "I visited her house once when we were still in high school. Her whole family was living here at that time. I really did not expect their family to still be living here even after so many years." Charlie looked at the dilapidated buildings around him and he sighed as he said, "The houses here aren't that big, are they?" Claire hummed as she said, "Their house is a two-bedroom house, which adds up to more than sixty square meters." Charlie asked curiously, "How can four people live together in a two-bedroom house? Didn't you say that your friend has a younger brother too?" 5 "Yes." Claire replied, "Their family could not afford a bigger house. So, my friend and her brother have both been living in the sroom since they were young. Later, she attended school at another place. When she graduated from university, her younger brother had already grown up too. So, it was impossible for them to continue sharing the sroom. So, my classmate went to Aurous Hill by herself to try and build up her own career. She also rented a house in Aurous Hill." i After that, Claire sighed as she said, "Isn't she getting married today? According to the rules, she should be married off from her family home. So, she chere last night and she's waiting to be married off in the morning today." i

Charlie nodded slightly and said, "If someone in a community is marrying their daughter off, then there would at least be a wedding arch at the gate of the community with sprosperous and joyous blessings written on it. Why didn't your classmate's family do any of those things at all? When I walked into the community, I couldn't tell that someone was getting married today at all." 7

Claire replied helplessly, "Her family doesn't want her to get married at all because the other party did not give them a dowry. However, she had no owever, st choice but to get married as she's pregnant. I heard that her family members are all very angry at all and they didn't even want to see her at all. They even said that the whole family won't attend her wedding even if she's getting married today. They said that she could leave by herself if she wanted to leave." i Charlie could not help but said, "Isn't that a little too much? Their own daughter is getting married today. So, how can her parents and brother decide not to attend her wedding? Aren't they a little too unsentimental?" Claire was filled with sympathy as she said, "My classmate is actually very pitiful. Her parents have already told her a long tago that no matter who she marries, her husband would have to give her family three hundred thousand dollars as dowry. This is so they can afford to buy an apartment for her younger brother." 9

"However, she insisted on getting married to this person but her e husband's family did not give her any dowry at all. Therefore, her parents and her brother wanted her to abort her child so that she could marry another man who would give her a dowry instead." 9 "My classmate refused to agree to their request and this is the reason why her parents really hate her very much. Even her younger brother hates her. If we did not cto help her today, then I think she would have to get married off on her own today." X
