"Dad, do you want me to marry into the Whitlock family?" Chuck had been holding himself back for a long time. He really did not expect his father to say something like this to him upon their first meeting.
Chuck had his own opinions. It was impossible for him to willingly marry into a family.
Even when he was poor back then, Chuck had no thoughts of doing something like this. Now that he was rich, he was even more reluctant to do so.
"Well, you can put it that way," Chadrick nodded.
Confused, Chuck asked, "Dad, why did you ask me to do this?"
"You haven't really been exposed to the strength of the hidden families, so you're not afraid!" Chadrick said with a heavy tone.
The three hidden families had already divided the world into three parts. The Whitlock family was the most powerful family amongst the hidden families. In fact, it was also the actual first family to appear in history!
"I..." Chuck couldn't refute what his father said. Indeed, he hadn't truly come into contact with that yet.
After saving Adriana in the first place, she had mentioned to him the existence of the hidden families. That was the first time ever hearing of them.
Later on, he slowly began to gain contact with the hidden families, but so far, he had only managed to meet their members.
As for the last time when he caused a big uproar in the Yeager family, it was done by accident.
If Adriana hadn't brought him along, he would not have the chance to attend the wedding banquet, let alone the news of Willa and Loomis' wedding.
If that didn't happen, he wouldn't have made a commotion there.
In addition, the only reason he was able to make such a large fuss back at the wedding was that he had the bomb given to him by Alexandrina!
Otherwise, Chuck would have been captured by the 10 bodyguards present back then!
Chuck was aware that he only managed to escape because of sheer luck. Without a bomb, Chuck would have already died in the Yeager family.
In other words, he had yet to understand the true strength of the Yeager family.
"The Yeager family is ranked way below the Whitlock family. If they attack you, Karen won't be able to protect you. So, you have to find a way yourself!" Chadrick looked at Chuck with a serious expression.
Chuck fell speechless.
His father's words were true. He had not even seen the true strength of the Yeager family, so how sure was he that his mother would be able to resist them?
Mainly, he was still too weak. If things went on like this, he would only drag his mother down.
Chuck felt guilty.
"Think about it. If you get married to Adriana and seize the opportunity to control the Whitlock family, you will be the richest man in the world!" Chadrick continued persuading his son.
"But..." Chuck was in a dilemma. What was the difference between his father's suggestion and living off a woman for the rest of his life?
Chuck really couldn't do it. In addition, even if he married Adriana, would it be possible for an outsider like him to take control of the Whitlock family?
It was impossible for him to do that!
"Think about it carefully," Chadrick no longer forced him.
He had already thought about this for a long time. Among the three hidden families, he was the weakest descendant of them all. He was aware now of the true powers behind each hidden family. The Yeager family was the most dangerous of all three.
In his opinion, it was best for Chuck to rely on Adriana at this stage.
Chuck lapsed into silence.
After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and admitted, "I really can't do it, dad..."
First of all, Chuck despised women like Adriana, who were overly possessive and manipulative. He was attracted to gentle and kind women, like Willa and Yvette.
Adriana was too aggressive. Wouldn't he be tortured endlessly after he got married to her?
Chuck was not a masochist.
Moreover, Chuck would never abandon Yvette!
Yvette must've constantly been under great pressure to be together with him. Karen had murdered Yvette's father, yet she had never taken revenge on him. On the contrary, she listened to his every word and was extremely caring towards him.
How could he have the heart to abandon her?
Chuck couldn't do it!
"It's up to you," Chadrick was silent for a while and did not say anything else.
He didn't want to force Chuck either, but he was glad to see Chuck. After all, Chuck had improved a lot in just half a year. Chadrick was very satisfied with his rapid progress!
Chuck sighed and said, "Dad, I..."
"It's fine. You can go back and think about it," Chadrick shook his head and patted Chuck's shoulder. His gaze was shining with a hint of expectation.
"Okay. Then I'll leave first," Chuck wanted to go back. He didn't really want to think about this matter further.
"Go ahead. Black Rose is still waiting for you. By the way, don't tell your mother about this!" Chadrick reminded his son.
Chuck nodded. Without staying any longer, he walked out absent-mindedly. 10 minutes later, Karen arrived. Chadrick had already left.
Seeing the empty house, she could only sigh.
"What the hell are you trying to do?"
Karen couldn't do anything about this.
