The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1920

"Carmen?!" Jeremiah blurted out over the other end of the line, "How are you? Have you encountered any danger?!"

Carmen started crying as she said, "I have been detained by Charlie. He said that he will not let me return to Eastcliff to celebrate the New Year! Dad, this guy has no respect for his elders at all, and he is very arrogant! You have to help me out!" 1

Jeremiah asked in surprise, "What is happening?!

How did you end up having a conflict with Charlie?"

At this time, Charlie took over the cell phone from Carmen before he said coldly, "She went behind my back to look for my mother-in-law, and she even tried t o bribe my mother-in-law so that she would persuade my wife, Claire, to divorce me. Is this the Wade family's style of doing things?" 3

Jeremiah was startled, and he hesitated for a moment before he sighed and said, "Charlie, no matter what it i s, she is still your aunt after all." 2

Charlie asked him again, "So what? Does that mean that she has the right to interfere with my own freedom of marriage, then? Don't mention the fact that she does not have this right, but even you will not have this right at all!" 2

Jeremiah replied emotionally, "Well... you are right.

Your aunt should not have done that. I apologize on her behalf. So, can you let her come home, then..." 4

Charlie replied coldly, "I've already said that I will be detaining her here in Aurous Hill for the New Year. I will send her back home after the New Year. Before the New Year, no one will be able to get her out of Aurous Hill at all!"

Jeremiah hesitated for a moment over the other end o f the line before he said helplessly, "Alright, then. It is u p to you!"

When Carmen heard Lord Wade's words, she was immediately filled with desperation. She hurriedly pleaded, "Dad! I want to go back home to Eastcliff to accompany you and spend the New Year with you! Dad!"

Jeremiah replied earnestly, "Carmen, you do indeed have a very foul temper. Perhaps you should take advantage of this opportunity to learn your lesson and make some changes to your temper and personality. You are already almost fifty years old, but you are always so hot-headed like a young person!" 5

"I..." Carmen was suddenly at a loss and she did not know what else to say.

At this time, Jeremiah spoke up again, "Charlie, come home when you have time. Grandpa really..." s

Before Jeremiah could finish saying the words ' misses you very much’, Charlie had already hung up the phone directly. 4

He did not have any relationship with Jeremiah, and h e felt that Jeremiah was more or less responsible for the death of his parents. Therefore, Charlie had no patience to deal with him at all.

As soon as Charlie had hung up the phone, Carmen choked up and asked, "Charlie, it is fine if I have to spend the New Year in Aurous Hill. However, I want to spend the New Year alone in the presidential suite in the Shangri-La hotel!” 6
