The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



Despite Charlie's nonchalant words, Kathleen's tears wouldn't stop no matter how much she tried. She kept nodding as she sobbed, "Thank you, Mr. Wade... Thank you truly!"

Charlie gave her a small smile before turning to Jordan again. "Lord Fox, please cooperate with us to make this work."

A few minutes later, several security personnel carried Jordan on a stretcher and rushed out of the VIP room in a flurry of panic. They hurried out of the hall with great fanfare while everyone watched in shock.

The security personnel shouted as he ran," Please give way! The patient is in a critical condition! We have to send him to the hospital at once!" Kathleen followed them, running and crying unstoppable tears.

Everyone at the auction watched with widened eyes as they carried Jordan away. They burst into loud murmurs, speculating about the sudden incident. None of them expected Jordan to suddenly faint and force the auction to a pause.

Issac quickly arranged a car to carry Jordan to the hospital right away.

After a loud commotion, Jordan and Kathleen finally left. In the VIP room, Charlie told Chandler, "Master Lennard. If the Fox family's eldest son finds out about Lord Fox and Kathleen's disappearance, he may pressure you for details. You'll need to hold him off."

Chandler smiled. "Don't worry about that, Mr. Wade. That b*stard won't dare to do anything to me. Besides, I didn't follow them to the hospital. If they disappeared after arriving at the hospital, what do I have to do with their whereabouts? They won't be able to get any answers from me. I don't know anything."

Charlie nodded, smiling in approval. "Good. I can be relieved now."

Chandler replied to Charlie with another smile. Then, he asked, "By the way, Mr. Wade, where are you going to the United States this time?" Charlie replied, "I'm accompanying my wife to a refresher course in Providence."

Chandler was surprised. "Providence! That's on the east coast, and I live on the west coast. Los Angeles and Providence are about four thousand kilometers apart. If you have time, you should come and visit

Los Angeles. I'll definitely welcome you!"

Charlie nodded again, smiling warmly" Sure, I'll come if I'm free."

Chandler turned the topic to the auction." How's the auction now, Mr. Wade?"

Charlie explained, "I told Miss Moore to pause the auction. Just let them wait first. They can continue the auction once I'm done with my arrangements."

Chandler nodded in understanding. He folded his hands together and said, "Well then, Mr. Wade. I should go back to the hall and wait as well." After that, he added with a pleasant smile," I guess the Rejuvenating Pill will end up in Bernard's hand. This auction is truly filled with endless surprises... One can't help but be excited."

Charlie shrugged. "Well, I expected Lord Fox to win the bid myself. I didn't expect things to turn out like that."

Chandler then asked tentatively, "By

the way, Mr Wade... Don't you plan

to visit your uncle, Christian? The

et

auction hasn't ended yet. Based on the rules, he still can't leave the hotel even if he's escorted out of the hall, no?

Charlie shook his head, rejecting Chandler's suggestion. "Forget it. There's no need for me to meet him. I'm still unsure if the Acker family is a friend or foe.

However, I do know that they looked down on my father. When my mom married him, she had to draw a line from her family.

After that, they didn't stay in touch with the Acker family for many years. I'd wager they won't look forward to seeing me either. Why bother?"

Chandler insisted, "If they know of your achievements, they will surely welcome you with open arms."

Charlie's lips curled into a wry smile. "If they do welcome me, it'd only be due to the Rejuvenating Pill or any other reasons they find impressive They may act like they care and are for me. But I'd rather not meet them if that's the only reason. There's a saying: no one cares about you when you're poor, but everyone cares about you when you're rich. I don't want that to happen to me."

Chandler pondered over Charlie's words for a moment. “Christian Acker came to the auction incognito, so perhaps someone in the family is in bad health. It may be your

grandfather. I'm just worried that et

you'll feel guilty when something bad happens to your grandfather or anyone in the Acker family, since you decided not to help them." Charlie waved his hand, dismissing that notion. "That won't happen. They were unkind to my parents in the past, so I'll never feel bad for them even if they're hit by

misfortune."

Then, Charlie added indifferently, "Besides, if there's an emergency. I'm sure he'll come here himself instead of making my uncle buy the pill on his behalf. I'm guessing that he's not in a desperate or critical stage yet."
