The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1958

Even if Carmen was at fault for going to Charlie's mother-in-law on her own accord, Charlie should not have treated Carmen so harshly. He even forced her to stay in Aurous Hill's shantytown for a week on New Year's Day. 2

This proved that it was absolutely not as easy as Jeremiah had imagined if he wanted to tame Charlie, let alone have him return to Wade family and follow his command.

Jeremiah decided that he should not rush this matter. Otherwise, it might backfire.

Realizing this fact, he said, "Carmen, you were at fault i n this matter after all. So even if Charlie did go a little too far, there is no need for you to completely turn against him. I'll have to ask you to bear with him for a few more days, and we'll come up with a better solution in the long run."

Relieved, Carmen quickly replied, "I know, Father. I'm sorry that I can't be by your side during this period of time, especially during the New Year..."

Jeremiah smiled faintly. "It's okay. It's not a big deal, don't you mind about it. I'll wait for you to come back."

"Okay." Carmen wiped her tears while nodding profusely toward the camera.

At that same moment, Clayton, Jeremiah’s eldest son,

appeared on his phone screen as he approached and said anxiously, "Father, I've just inquired about a piece of news."

Jeremiah frowned. "What is it?"

Clayton swallowed as he explained. "I heard that the Schulz family is recruiting all kinds of martial artists throughout Asia with a high price. They offer ordinary martial artists tens of millions of dollars a year and billions for the higher-level ones. It is estimated that they spend about ten billion in investment for these martial artists, and it has attracted many retired masters to come out of retirement!" 3

Firearms were undoubtedly powerful, but no family in the world could transport manpower with loaded machinery from one country to another.

Therefore, the combat power of assassins with guns was greatly limited if they needed overseas missions. I t seemed as though they were useless without their firearms.

On the contrary, the martial artists who worked for the top families could guarantee their hands-on combat power's versatility even in countries with strict gun-control. Such was the importance of martial artists.

Clayton added, "Besides, I heard that Sophie Schulz has been investigating a mysterious man with a nationwide reputation since her return from Japan. Her family has even secretly offered a billion dollars just to find any information about this man." "Oh?" Jeremiah asked, feeling astonished. "Who's this man? Is he the Schulz family's enemy?"

"No," Clayton answered. "I heard that the man is the person who rescued Sophie and Jaime!"
