The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5898

Upon hearing Vera's words, Charlie instinctively looked at the black photo album in her hands. At first glance, it was clear that the album was quite old.

In the past decade or so, with the rapid development of smartphones, ordinary people had unconsciously digitized all their image data. Fewer and fewer people purchased photo albums of various sizes and thicknesses as they did twenty years ago to categorize and organize all their photos.

Charlie didn't know what exactly was in the album, so he took it from Vera's hands and carefully flipped the first page open. The first thing that caught his eye on the first page were two separate photos of two young people taken in front of the Statue of Liberty in the United States.

The man in the photo bore a striking resemblance to Charlie, but his attire was relatively retro as the man was wearing the distinctive knit sweater and faded jeans typical of that era. This was Charlie's father, Curtis.

The woman in the photo appeared to be around twenty-two to twenty-three years old. She had a slender figure and was wearing a light beige trench coat. Her stylishly curled hair, even by today's standards, looked elegant as it fluttered in the wind, giving her a graceful and breezy appearance.

Vera couldn't help but sigh as she exclaimed, “Your mother is really beautiful, Young Master.”

Charlie nodded lightly and jokingly asked, “Haven't you seen my mom before? She seemed quite well-known in that era.”

Vera nodded and said, “I once searched for your mother's life story. She was indeed remarkable, and she had unparalleled fame in the fields of technology, finance, and venture capital thirty years ago…”

She then sighed lightly and continued, “In fact, the trajectory of my life is just the opposite of your mother’s life. While your mother seized the opportunity and became a trendsetter in Silicon Valley and the internet industry, I, on the other hand, almost cut off all contact with the outside world after the rise of the internet. I had always feared that Fleur's information-gathering abilities would rapidly improve with the trend, so we have almost never crossed paths before.”

Vera asked curiously, “So, who usually compromised first?”

Charlie thought for a moment and replied, “It seems like there wasn't a clear pattern of who compromised first. They always had a tacit understanding of life and could judge each other's level of insistence on a matter very well. If one felt that the other was more insistent on something, they would then give in appropriately.”

Vera couldn't help but sigh as she said, “Being able to balance each other at all times is a kind of relationship that is really rare.”

Charlie nodded slightly and then turned to the third page of the album. Upon opening it, the upper right corner showed a small antique shop front. The shop had a retro feel to it with its British-style facade. In the middle of the round signboard was the word ‘Antique’.
