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

After that, the birthday banquet officially began. 7 Charlie was enshrined as a most distinguished guest and he sat beside Lady Thomas with Loreen and Wrigley.

After that, the Thomas family members took turns to offer him a toast. Their expression, tone, and actions were all full of compliments and flattery.

Charlie did not have much to say. When someone cto offer him a toast, he would simply drink in return. He also drank readily even when it was Dylan who cto offer him a toast.

At this time, Wrigley also cautiously offered Charlie a toast as he flattered him and said, "Mr. Wade, there is something that I would like to ask of you..." Charlie already knew what he wanted to ask him even before he started speaking. He obviously wanted him to restore his ability and make him potent again.

However, in view of all the bad things that their family of four had done towards Yule's family of three, Charlie was certain that he would never allow them to recover right now.

An adult would have to pay the price and consequence for their own actions. Otherwise, how much they possibly learn their own lesson then? s So, he did not wait for Wrigley to finish speaking and he interrupted him lightly, "Wrigley, you have witnessed this incident today from the beginning to the end. You should also understand why I asked Dylan to go to Aurous Hill to undergo a selfreformation for a year, right?" "Yes! Yes!" Wrigley nodded repeatedly and said, "Mr. Wade, it is because you are upright and fair. Therefore, I naturally have the utmost trust in you. However, for this matter...can you at least give us a timeline as you did with Dylan? Why don't you set a timefrfor us so that we can look forward to it and feel hopeful too? What do you think of that?" Charlie nodded before he said, "You should also know that Dylan did not do anything evil or outrageous. He simply speaks without thinking. That is the reason why I asked Dylan to undergo a self-reformation for a year. However, the four of you were too much. The four of you were even using someone's life to threaten your uncle before this. So, in comparison, the nature of your acts is much worse compared to Dylan!" Wrigley's face was covered in cold sweat.

He knew what Charlie meant.

Dylan simply shot his mouth off in front of him and he had to undergo a self-reformation for one year.

On the other hand, his father, third uncle, cousin, and himself tried to force his uncle to hand over trillions of dollars' worth of assets to them and they even threatened to deal with and take the lives of his aunt and cousin sister after Yule's death. They had really committed a much greater sin compared to Dylan. 9 Moreover, his eldest uncle was Charlie's father, Curtis's good brother and his aunt was Charlie's mother's good sister. His cousin was also Charlie's fiancee ever since they had a marriage contract when they were still young. Since Charlie had such a close relationship with his eldest uncle's family, then he would certainly hate the four of them even more! 4 If Dylan had to undergo a self-reformation for a year just for shooting his mouth off, then wouldn't the four of them have to undergo a self-reformation for ten to twenty years then? 7 Wrigley felt like dying when he thought about the fact that he would not be able to enjoy that aspect of life or have any children at all in the next ten to twenty years. 4 So, Wrigley had a bitter and miserable look on his face as he pleaded, "Mr. Wade, please forgive us this ton account of my eldest uncle...or perhaps, you can shorten the tfor our self-reformation..." 3 Charlie replied lightly, "It depends on all of your performances then. If all of you perform well, then I will help you to recover in three to five years.

However, if all of you perform badly, then it might take you twenty to thirty years then." i Wrigley felt as though he was about to burst into tears and he said in a low voice, "Mr. Wade, you will be my brother-in-law in future. Why don't you forgiveand letoff on account of this relationship then' If news gets out to the public that your brother-in-law is impotent, wouldn't you lose face too? Don't you agree with me?" Charlie smiled as he said, "I think that it's fine. There's no reason forto lose any face at all..." s "Oh..." Wrigley felt as though he was about to collapse.

Charlie was really very stubborn and difficult to deal with!

Wrigley was initially planning to rely on his relationship with his cousin to get him to change his mind. Unexpectedly, Charlie was not willing to give him any chance at all. i

Moreover, even if he were to perform well, it would still take him three to five years before Charlie would heal him. Three to five years of abstinence. Wouldn't that be om equivalent to killing him? 3 However, three was no other way out of this. So, Wrigley could only have a thick skin as he said respectfully, "Brother-in-law, I will make sure that I perform well in future. Don't worry." i Charlie replied angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. I am not your brother-in-law."

Wrigley nodded before he said, "I know. You are not my brother-in-law now, but you will be mybrother in-law sooner or later..." Charlie was too lazy to be bothered with him over this kind of silly matter. So, he simply stopped paying any more attention to him. At this time, Loreen cover before she asked Charlie in a low voice, "Charlie, when will you be going back to Aurous Hill?" 4 "Tomorrow." X
