The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5892

When Charlie and Vera arrived at the Wades' old mansion from Eastcliff International Airport, Stephen was already waiting there with Jeremiah.

Stephen was the one who had brought Jeremiah here. After leaving Harmony Temple, Stephen went to the Wades' family manor to bring Jeremiah back to the old mansion.

Jeremiah had always wanted to find more opportunities to bond with his grandson, Charlie, and deepen their relationship. However, even though Charlie had become the head of the Wades, he rarely came to Eastcliff. As a grandfather, Jeremiah hardly saw Charlie a few times throughout the year.

When he heard that Charlie was coming to Eastcliff this time, Jeremiah naturally felt very happy. He arranged for the chefs to prepare a banquet to welcome Charlie home even before Charlie arrived at the old mansion.

When Charlie arrived at the old mansion, Jeremiah even went to the courtyard with Stephen to greet him. As soon as he saw Charlie getting out of the car, he became somewhat excited and said, “Charlie, why did you suddenly come to Eastcliff today?”

Charlie replied truthfully, “Grandpa, I came back to the old mansion to take a look and also sort out the things that my parents left behind.”

Jeremiah nodded repeatedly and said without hesitation, “Your parents' room has remained untouched, and everything is still the same as it was before.”

At this moment, the door of the passenger seat opened, and Vera, who looked about seventeen to eighteen years old, got out of the car. She looked at Jeremiah and said respectfully, “Hello, Lord Wade. I am Veron Lavor.”

Jeremiah was quite surprised when he saw Vera. He hadn't expected that Charlie would bring a girl to the old mansion this time. Moreover, this girl was neither Charlie's wife, Claire, nor was she Quinn, the girl Charlie was engaged to. What surprised him even more was that this girl was so young.

After all, Charlie was already approaching thirty years old, and this girl looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. The age difference between them was indeed quite significant.

What puzzled him even more was the identity of this girl. As Charlie's grandfather, he knew very well that there were many female acquaintances around Charlie, but Vera was the first female that Charlie had brought with him to the old mansion.

Jeremiah heaved a sigh of relief.

He was well aware that society had two age thresholds for women. The first one was at fourteen, which was a legal threshold, and the other was at eighteen, which was a moral threshold.

For ordinary people, as long as they passed the legal threshold, the matter would be considered legal, whereas the moral threshold depended on each person's moral standards. However, for people with status, it was not enough to simply pass the legal threshold; they also had to pass the moral threshold. Otherwise, they would be criticized by the public.

Even those well-known rich heirs who were particularly arrogant and wild and changed girlfriends as quickly as they changed socks dared not wander in between these two thresholds because if they did, they would surely be condemned by the public.

Jeremiah was also afraid that if Vera was not eighteen yet and this fact was exposed, it would affect Charlie and the Wades. However, upon hearing Vera say that she was already eighteen years old, he felt much more relieved.
