The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1437

Claire didn’t believe what her mother had said. She had felt Charlie’s sincerity toward her, so how could h e possibly cheat? 6

Claire then turned to Elaine and said, "Mom, you're overthinking it. Charlie couldn't possibly cheat!"

"What do you mean "couldn’t possibly cheat"?!" One of Elaine’s eyebrows arched upward, and she rebutted, "I f that's the case, tell me, why did Charlie buy three sets of skincare products, and yet, he only brought back two sets? Where is the last one? Where did it go?!"

Claire replied, "Most probably he bought it for a friend of his? Maybe his friend asked him to buy it for them?”

"Friend?!" Elaine responded with a face hardened from anger. "Only brainless people like you would believe that! It is obviously bought for a woman! You said he was an orphan and did not have a mother, he doesn't even have relatives here! If so, who else would he buy the skincare products for?! Of course it's for that vixen!" 2

Claire looked a little uneasy. She knew that whatever her mother said made sense. 6

Charlie didn’t have any relatives in this current area, and he didn't have many female friends. Then, who did he buy the extra gift basket for?

Could it be Jasmine? 4

If she remembered correctly, that girl seemed to treat Charlie differently.

Nevertheless, Claire just couldn’t bring herself to believe that. The Moore family's young mistress, or more commonly known as the current head of the Moore family, was like royalty of Aurous Hill and even the southern regions. There was no one more capable than her.

Her husband, on the other hand, was a married man. Hence, theoretically, Jasmine would never jeopardize her fame and fortune to seduce another woman’s man. That relationship was just impossible. 9

Claire lowered her head and replied in embarrassment, "I... I don't know... It just feels as though our relationship is still very delicate... Plus, it was grandfather who wanted us to get married. I only married him because I was asked to. So, I haven’t gotten there..." 6

Elaine immediately scolded Claire, "My daughter! How stupid can you be?! A man has needs, and if you can't keep him satisfied, what if he strays away and looks for someone else to satisfy him?! Charlie is worth more than a hundred million dollars! All the gold diggers are lining up to get a piece of this fine man! 7

Elaine continued, "You listen to me, and you listen well. Immediately grab hold of him and tie him to you! Take this opportunity to seal the deal! It would be best if you were to get pregnant with his child! If you don't, wouldn't our family be doomed if Charlie decided to g o after that vixen instead?!”

"Plus, don’t you forget! This villa belongs to Charlie. If h e were to change his mind and divorce you, he will definitely chase us out! Let me just say something. I don't want to go back to the old house which we used t o live in! I will never leave this first-class villa ever!

Claire felt even more embarrassed as she listened to her mother.
