The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1827

After hearing the old master's words, Clayton admitted in embarrassment, "Father, you've previously talked about having an arranged marriage with Schulz family. You wanted Sophie as Wade family's daughter-in-law, but you did not select a suitable groom."

Jeremiah chipped in, "Didn't we agree on it last time? The son of Curtis is the best candidate."

"But Stephen previously mentioned that Curtis' son did not want to come back to the family. I think he might even hate us," replied Clayton. 2

Jeremiah waved his hand. "It's not up to you or me to determine whether or not the kid hates us."

Caleb, who was by his side, quickly asked, "Father, are you saying you'd want to look for Curtis' son and ask him to return to the family?" 3

Jeremiah nodded. "Indeed. It's on my mind, but I'm unsure how I should persuade him." s

Clayton suddenly felt threatened, tremendous pressure bearing down on him. He quickly interjected, "Father, Curtis' son has been away from home for so many years! He is uncontrollable! Please think this over!" 5

Jeremiah waved his hand in dismissal. "Stop trying to persuade me. When I asked Stephen to buy Emgrand

Group as a gift for him, I had already decided. Sooner o r later, I would've to let him back into the family.

There are not many heirs in Wade family. We are totally outnumbered, compared to the countless branches of Schulz family, and we can't a grown man live outside of the family any longer." 8

Clayton held his breath and calmly asked. "What if he i s not willing to come back, father?" 1

Jeremiah said solemnly, "People change. If he's not willing to come back today, maybe he will come back tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then perhaps a year later, o r two, or three? Or maybe even ten years later? There will definitely come a day where he will change his mind, and his will to stay away weakens with time."

Clayton, Caleb, and Chronos, who were silently listening, cursed unhappily at the back of their minds. 5
