The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1557

As soon as anyone mentioned Curtis’s great name, all the middle-aged men from wealthy and powerful families in Eastcliff could only sigh. 4

This was because for these wealthy and powerful families, no amount of wealth was as important as a powerful and capable male offspring who would be able to bring the family to greater heights!

The business industry was just like a battlefield. Sometimes, a slight deviation might easily lead to the annihilation of an entire army, and they would be facing everlasting perdition then. Hence, this was the reason why many wealthy and powerful families would face endless ups and downs in the game, and many of them even chose to retreat from the historical arena. 3

If a family wanted to be prosperous, the amount of money or assets that they had in their hands was not important. What mattered the most was whether their descendants could continue producing talented and capable heirs. 6

The fact that the Wade family was extremely prosperous today was inseparable from the solid foundation that Curtis had laid down for the Wade family twenty years ago.

Therefore, everyone could only remember Curtis as the brightest moon deep down in their hearts. 5

Charlie never expected that both the brothers, Adrian and Rogan, would get down on one knee as soon as they heard his father's name. As he could see clearly that they were not being hypocritical but were indeed filled with respect for his father, his anger toward these two men was slightly relieved.

At this time, Adrian turned around and looked at his son, Wrigley, and his nephew, Wilhelm, and he said," Why aren't both of you kneeling and confessing to your own mistakes in front of Curtis’s son?" 6

Wrigley already understood everything that was happening in front of him.

Although he had not heard too many rumors about Curtis, he could already guess that Charlie was a direct descendant of the Wade family. 3

Although the Golding family was one of the top three families in Eastcliff, alongside the Wade family, the differences between the two families were still extremely vast.

Some people had even jokingly claimed that the so-called top three Eastcliff families were actually nothing more than two dragons playing with a pearl. 7

The two dragons were none other than the Wade family and the Schulz family, whereas the Golding family was nothing more than a pearl. 6
