The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1005

Charlie was burning in the wrath of fury at the moment.

He did not expect that there would be traffickers bold enough to extend their vile hands at the orphans! 1

When he thought of the possibility of the children being sold to a beggar syndicate that might even disable them, he wanted to disfigure these human traffickers into a million pieces. 1

He said into the phone, "Stephanie, where are you now? Are you at the orphanage?"

"Yes!" Stephanie answered frantically, "I just came back from the police station, Mrs. Lewis and the others are still there."

"Good," Charlie said, "Wait for me in the orphanage, I’ll be there right away!"

He ended the call and hurried out without even informing Claire about it.

Coming down the stairs, Elaine, wearing shiny red pajamas, urged impatiently, "Charlie, go and make breakfast, I'm starving." 1

Charlie frowned indignantly and blurted, "Make your own breakfast if you’re so hungry." 7

Elaine gritted her teeth and cursed, "Oh! You think you're so amazing now to be so rude to me?!"

Charlie nodded. "Yes. If you can get such a big villa, you're amazing too!" 9

There was a shift of expression on Elaine's face. "What do you mean by that? Do you really think you're capable after getting this villa? How dare you show your disgusting face at me now?!" 1

Charlie growled coldly, "I dare to! Do you still remember how you treated me when I lived in your house? I hope you'll reflect on it now. It’s possible that after a while, I'll treat you the way you treated me." 8

"You..." Elaine’s fury was extinguished almost completely now. She finally realized that Charlie had turned over a new leaf. 1

It was indeed true that she had no leverage in her hands now. Previously, she used to berate him about living in her house, eating her food, and using her money, but from the looks of it, everything was the other way around now. i
