The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1720

She was wearing a deep V-neck low-cut halter nightgown. It was very comfortable to wear by itself in her own room, but it was a little too sexy, so she had to cover it up. 7

After the video call was connected, Sheldon asked," Jaime, Sophie, have you two arrived at the hotel?”

"Yes." Sophie and Jaime nodded in unison.

Sheldon asked again, "Have you met the Takahashi family?"

"Not yet," Sophie answered. "Originally, we planned to meet in the conference room of the hotel this evening t o talk about the collaboration, but the Takahashi family encountered some accidents. Takahashi Eikichi was injured, and his father, Machi, should still be in the hospital with him."

Sheldon frowned and asked, “What happened? Will it affect our collaboration with them?"

Sophie answered, "He was beaten up by a passerby, but the incident was a random blip, so it shouldn't affect our deal." 3

"That’s good," Sheldon said with relief. "You should go through the detailed investigation of both families and then pick the best one."

With that, Sheldon continued with a somewhat

vicious look on his face, "You must find the strongest and most ruthless family to work with. Whether it's the Takahashi family or the Ito family, as long as we choose one of them, we will join forces with them to take out the other one!" s

Sophie asked in astonishment, "Dad, shouldn't we just focus on the collaboration after we choose which family to cooperate with? Do we really need to help them fight another family?”

Sheldon said, "I went to see your grandfather today. H e said that the Wade family wants a piece of the ocean transportation pie too. So, if we choose the Takahashi family, they will definitely choose the Ito family, and vice versa.”

Sheldon made a slight pause and said, "What your grandfather meant was that we must not leave any chance for the Wade family! So, if we choose the Takahashi family, we have to join hands with them to take out the Ito family, and we do the same with the Ito family too.” 7

Sophie gaped in bewilderment. "The Wade family also wants a piece of that pie?!" 4
