The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 18

Claire and her family went to Kempinski for dinner while Wendell was sulking at home.

He saw the post from Emgrand Group’s official page, feeling very depressed and dejected. 2

He thought that it would be absolutely impossible for Claire to win the contract, but unexpectedly, it had only taken her half an hour to score a sixty million dollar contract. Recalling his harsh and scornful remarks at her place yesterday, he was extremely embarrassed as the remarks came back as a slap in his face! 3

Right at this moment, Harold called to whine about his situation. He said as soon as the call was answered, "Hey, Wendell, what the h*ll! I earnestly created opportunities for you to pursue my cousin, but you turned your back on me and helped her to win the Emgrand contract. How could you do this to me?" 2

Wendell shook his head in disdain. 'What the heck? I didn't do anything!’ 2

Harold asked again, "Wendell, be honest with me. Did you sleep with my cousin?"

At the same time, Wendell was too embarrassed to deny the fact that he had nothing to do with all this. It would mean that he was admitting his incompetence, wouldn't it?

Hence, he mumbled sheepishly, "Yeah. Harold, I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you whenever I have a chance." 2

"I knew it!" Harold sighed, and then hurriedly asked," Wendell, my cousin was a virgin, wasn't she? I don't think she’s ever slept with that loser. You struck the jackpot, you lucky dog!" 2

Wendell gaped in astonishment followed by excitement. 2

Alright! Claire Wilson was still a virgin!

Then, he might as well tell everyone that he had done the deed with Claire, in this way, he could estrange her relationship with her husband too. 1

As the cunning thought lingered in his mind, he giggled coyly and said to Harold, "Yes, your cousin was a virgin. She was so tight and cute I couldn't help i t! Hahaha!" 4

Harold's bitter voice resonated, "If so, please don't forget about me whenever you have any benefits in hand, okay buddy?" 1

"Don’t worry!" Wendell exclaimed casually.

As soon as he ended Harold's call, his father called him suddenly.

His father's anxious voice entered his ear. "Wendell, w e have a problem! The Emgrand Group has canceled all their projects with us! Did you offend anyone recently?"

Wendell fell into dead silence upon hearing this.

Was it true? Didn't it mean that his family would suffer a great loss?!

He blurted hastily, "Dad, what’s going on? No, I didn't offend anyone! Did you?" 1

His father sounded disbelief and bewildered. "Neither am I! I’ve been in the office these days so I didn't meet many people, let alone offend someone..." 1

"Hey, Dad, is it possible that Emgrand's new chairman is doing a major reshuffle after taking over the company?"

"Yes! You’re right!" Mr. Jones exclaimed, suddenly coming to his senses. "I haven't had a chance to visit the new chairman since his appointment. I've spoken t o Doris Young several times, but she said that their chairman doesn't take any visitors." 3

"Then what should we do?"
