The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2010

After Loreen, who was sitting in the co-driver’s seat, hung up the phone with Claire, Dylan scowled miserably as he asked, "Loreen, can't you go to Charlie’s house on your own? Why do you have to bring me along with you? I really don't want to see his face for a minute at all.”

When Loreen saw Dylan’s face which was filled with grievances, she could not help but ridiculed him as she said, "Brother, aren’t you being a little too timid and cowardly? I'm bringing you to Charlie's house to send our New Year's greetings. I'm not sending you there to fight with Charlie, so what are you afraid of?"

Dylan sighed as he said, "Sigh. Loreen, you might not know this, but I've only met Charlie Wade twice in total and nothing good happens whenever I see him! The first time I met him, I had to swallow a necklace and undergo a surgery because of it. The second time I met him, he asked me to ride a bicycle all the way from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill. If he isn’t happy when I see him again this time, then he might actually send m e to Africa to dig in the mines there. What am I going t o do then?" 6

At this time, Loreen replied seriously, "Brother, you're overthinking it. In fact, Charlie isn't a bad person by nature and he would never bully anyone. He would only retaliate and be cruel to others if they bully him first. So, you only need to be humble and maintain a

low profile in front of Charlie. That way, he won’t give you any trouble at all." 1

Dylan sighed as he lamented, "Even though you say that, this person has a poker face and he doesn't show his anger or unhappiness on his face. What if I offend him again because of an unintentional sentence?"

Doreen replied, "If that is the case, then you shouldn't talk so much when you are there later. When you meet Charlie later, you should just refer to him as Mr. Wade and greet him respectfully without saying anything else."

Dylan continued pleading, "Oh! Can't you go by yourself? I’ll just park the car at the entrance and I'll wait for you in the car then.”

Doreen pretended to be angry as she said, "I've already told Claire that you will be coming along with me. I believe that Claire has already told Charlie about it too. If you refuse to go in later and if you want me to g o there alone, then Charlie might think that you have some opinions about him! He might think that you aren’t giving him face!"

After pausing for a moment, Doreen continued saying," Don't blame me for not reminding you if he is not satisfied with you and tries to make things difficult for you then! After all, Aurous Hill is his territory. You can't even afford to go against him back in Eastcliff, let alone on his turf?" 1

As soon as he heard this, Dylan shrunk his neck before he said angrily, “Alright then. Fine! I'll go, I'll go

At this time, Loreen said seriously, "Let me tell you something. Charlie is actually someone very easy to get along with. However, the premise is that you shouldn’t be arrogant and put on airs in front of him. I f you talk to him nicely, then he will certainly be very polite to you. However, if you try to show off and be pretentious in front of him, then you'll certainly be done for!" 4
