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

"Grandma..." Looking at Mrs. Clements, Alicia sobbed unconsciously. But she still shook her head knowingly as she thought to herself, "Grandma is still callingAlly, she still trustsand even stood by my side!" The sudden trust and acknowledgment sent a wave of warmth to Alicia's heart. And in the next second, Frederick held her in his arms. "Grandma! I know about this! Letdeal with it, okay?" Frederick's attitude toward Mrs. Clements was relatively restrained! At this time, Penny, who was on edge, gave Christian a nudge. He was also disappointed and said, "Frederick! This is not a small matter! Mrs. Clements's gaze fell straight on Alicia's face before she said, "You just need to tellone thing. Will you hurt Frederick?" As if it was a conditioned reflex, Alicia said without thinking twice, "I won't!" As soon as she opened her mouth, Penny shouted.

"You're such a deceiving and cunning woman! You're still lying at this very moment? Mom, you can't let her do this! The shreds of evidence are here!" Seeing that Mrs. Clements was unmoved, Penny turned to Christian in a hurry.

"Dear! Why don't you say something? We have to end this here and now. Who knows if she will empty our house the next time! We can't let her stay with us!" When she was rambling and complaining to persuade him, Frederick frowned, and Alicia, who was in his arms, said in a low voice.

"No! Not even if you askten times! Givestime..." He was still holding the flash drive in his hand. For a moment, Frederick could not smooth it all over, but he knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed. "Since when has it been up to you to decide my business?" With one sentence, Penny's arrogance was extinguished in an instant, and she hid behind Christian unconsciously and tugged on his clothes. At this time, Christian said.

"Frederick, you've got to be rational! This is no pilfery! You have been in the business for so many years now. Don't you know that there were many industrialists and elites who had their fruined by women? They even lost their integrity in later years and were in abject misery. Don't you know that? This involves morality and principle, how can you be so reckless in handling it?" "What is mine is hers! If that day really comes, it is also because I did it willingly! I won't regret it! I have achieved everything I have today by myself, and I am willing to give everything including my life to her! You don't have to worry about my affairs!" "Frederick!" Christian was livid. He trembled in fury and coughed.

"Frederick!" He shouted again.

Mrs. Clements glared at Frederick. After all, both of them were her own flesh and blood. Her tone was a little cold as she said, "All right! Stop arguing!" "Mom, you can't let him do as he pleases like this! He is not thinking straight now, it would ruin him!" Christian scolded while pounding on his chest and coughing.

Penny quickly patted his back and said, "Honey, your health is more important. Don't get angry!" "You said that he is not thinking straight. How about yourself?" Mrs. Clements threw the question back to him.

After all, the onlooker sees most of the game. Moreover, she had been with Alicia for a long time. Since her grandson was so protective of her, obviously it was not just because he was crazy in love with her. After all, she knew her son and grandson best! It was true that Christian cared about Frederick, but it was also true that he didn't know Alicia very well! After pausing for a while, Mrs. Clements said.

"Stop arguing. I will handle this matter! You all are getting emotional right now, who dares to say that they are completely rational, unselfish, and not biased? One of you is caring blindly and the other one is as stubborn as a bull! Even if she has committed a crime, there is still a review period! What is there to fight and argue about? I have a condominium in Robson Garden. From today onwards, the two of you should separate for a while and Alicia will move there. None of you are allowed to give her trouble, you too, Frederick. I won't stop you from loving her, but you should be scrupulous in separating public from private interests. All of you should calm down for three months and see what happens after that! I don't believe that there are secrets that can be kept forever. The truth will cto light sooner or later. After three months, if you have any ideas or decisions, bringyour evidence. By that time, if you still want to stay married or get a divorce, I won't have any objections.

Otherwise, all of you should just shut up. Aren't you all ashamed of yourselves?" Mrs. Clements turned around and left. Everyone else stared at each other with their eyes wide open.

In the end, everyone left one by one. Frederick withdrew his hand. They looked each other in the eyes but did not say anything. After a while, Frederick said.

"I'll be waiting for you at home!" He turned around and left.

On the other hand, Alicia did not ask him to stay too. She went straight to the hospital to make sure her father had indeed woken up and that there were no abnormal reactions from his body. She waited until three hours later and accompanied her father to a full-body examination, to make sure that the toxin in his body had completely been removed. Only then did Alicia feel a little relieved. She collapsed on the chair, and there was a moment of emptiness under her eyes.

Walking over, Marshall put a coat on her.

"I scraped a little powder from the antidote and sent it to research. There will be a result soon, and the sthing will not happen to your father again!" When she was about to say something, she suddenly thought of something else, and Alicia swallowed her words and said, "Thank you! I still have something to deal with. Can you take care of my parents fortoday? I'll cback tomorrow!" He nodded. A simple thank you could no longer express Alicia's gratitude towards him. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, both of them could understand each other without the need to express it! On the other hand, Frederick went straight back to the company without having a meal. Chet was already waiting in the office.

"He has woken up! The antidote was placed on the back of the flowerpot but I don't know when it was put. I already sent people to check on the security cameras. The s. The footage m shows that many people have been close to the flowerpot, so they can't confirm the target! Master Vives's laboratory has been researching the antidote for the poison. So far, only a mercury-like composite substance can be determined. This substance will cause organ failure and even death. It's a very powerful toxin! Since the tprovided is too short, they haven't determined the source yet!" The matter this twas so difficult that it was indeed out of Chet's expectations.

"Miss Blanchard must have been coerced by someone, and they must have had a thorough plan. The drug 11 alone has already stumped us! I have checked her recent calls and message logs, even the surveillance! There are only two hidden phone numbers that are not registered, which think are called through a webphone. Nothing unusual in her messages, and both of the calls were short and can't be dialed back. Up until now, I still don't know how they contacted her! Obviously, they

chose not to use mobile communication, otherwise, her phone would have records on them.

In fact, they used a method that didn't require meeting in person, m otherwise, wouldn't it have been easier to send the bidding proposal over? Clearly, they have also taken precautions! They were probably afraid that we would find something and deal with them afterward."
