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

Aman Hotel Tokyo.

Having just taken a bath, Sophie turned on her laptop in her room. After that, she and her brother went on a video conference call with Sheldon, far away in Eastcliff. 3 The siblings quickly reported the huge concession that Machi had made to Sheldon, who was extremely surprised.

From Sheldon's point of view, Machi knew what he was doing. He did not only have the determination to kill and destroy the Ito family, but he also had the consciousness to willingly give in and accept the lowe end of the bargain, enabling Schulz family to gain a more favorable percentage in their collaboration. 4 This kind of person could easily be taught and tamed.

Sophie said, "Dad, we will also be meeting up with Yahiko from the Ito family tomorrow, as we have already agreed to this meeting in advance. However, I think that Yahiko has already lost his advantage and competitiveness in this collaboration. Moreover, it will be impossible for him to offer us an even better proposal compared to Machi." 3 Sheldon hummed slightly before he laughed and said, "Alright then, you can just go through the formalities first. After getting all the superficial work done, you can finalize and sign the Takahashi family contract. However, you must look at the major ports in Japan first before signing the contract. It's important that you need to know how the actual operations work at the Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, and Osaka ports." 5 Sophie nodded before she replied, "Don't worry, dad. Brother and I have already arranged our schedule for that." 3 "That's good." Sheldon smiled in satisfaction as he continued, "1 did not expect that Machi would be willing to take the initiative to reduce the percentage of his shares to twenty-five percent. You should know that your grandfather initially believed that we would only secure seventy percent of the profit earnings. The maximum amount that he would be able to tolerate conceding to the other party is thirty-five percent. Both of you have already cut down the other party's profit earnings by ten percent more than the maximum amount that he would have been able to accept. Your grandfather will certainly be thrilled after you finalize and sign the contract. He will most certainly give the both of you credits for this!" 6 Jasmiled and said, "Dad, if grandpa is really going to give us credits for this, do you think that he would be willing to hand over the entire shipping and port business to our family then?" Sheldon chuckled before he replied, "I will definitely try to win this business over from the old man. I think that the probability of him agreeing to my request is very high. Hence, both of you ought to do a good job preparing for collaboration and partnership in Japan. After that, I will talk to the old man and try to ask him to hand this business over to you and your sister so that the both of you will manage and be responsible for it then." 7 Sophie hurriedly waved her hand, "Dad, I don't want to do it. You can just allow my brother to take over this business." 3 Sheldon asked in surprise, "Why? This is such a good opportunity. Why wouldn't you want to be in charge of this business?" Sophie's tone becserious. "After getting this job done in Japan, I want to head to the United States to study for an MBA." 3 Jahurriedly replied, "Oh! You are already so talented and intelligent. Why do you still want to study for an MBA? It is just a waste of time. Wouldn't it be better for you to start working for the family as soon as possible so that you can secure sresources in advance?" Sophie shook her head and said, "Learning is an ongoing process, and there is no limit to knowledge. I do not want to start working for the family so soon. Furthermore, I am not really interested in our family's resources anyway." Sheldon quickly chipped in, "Sophie, you are not young anymore. It is already tfor you to think about marriage. Getting an MBA is very time- consuming. It would be better if you could get married within these two years." 3 Sophie raised her brows. "Get married? Whom should I marry anyway?" Sheldon replied confidently, "Your grandpa will naturally choose the best and right man for you to get married to." 6 "I don't want that." Sophie shook her head.

"If I were to allow grandpa to decide on a husband for me, then I might as well look for a random, decent, good- looking man on the streets of Tokyo so that I can casually get married to him instead." "Stop saying this kind of nonsense in front of me!" Sheldon replied angrily, "Even though your grandpa allowed you to go to Japan to discuss and negotiate the business collaboration and partnership with the other party, he would never allow you to get married to a Japanese!" Sophie pouted before deliberately arguing with Sheldon, "Who said that I am going to marry a Japanese man? There are also many Oskian men on the streets of Tokyo, okay? I already met a very tall, handsome, and modest man when we arrived in Tokyo. He's real eye candy. Why don't I get married to him then? No matter what it is, it will definitely be better than going hand allowing grandpa to decide on my marriage for me." s Jaasked embarrassedly, "Do you even know his name?"

Sophie hummed as she said, "I am simply making an analogy. It does not matter that do not know his name. I'll just ask the next twe meet." 4

Jabroke into a cynical smile and said, "I believe that you will not have the opportunity to see him again. Based on Machi's personality and character, he will certainly not allow that man to leave Japan alive. 4

Sophie raised her brows and said, "How can you be so certain that Machi will be able to kill him?Pthink that t this man is really very strong and capable. I don't think that Machi will be able to do anything to him anyway." 3 Jashook his head before he smiled and said," Even if he is a powerful and capable man, he will not be able X
