The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 255

Claire was very puzzled when she heard her mother persuading her to return to work for Wilson Group again. Therefore, she could only ask her mother," Mom, what kind of ecstasy did Grandma feed you? Why are you always forcing me to go back to work for Wilson Group?" 6

Elaine was very anxious at this time and she quickly replied, "If you work for Wilson Group, you'll be getting a fixed annual salary. Isn’t that better than starting your own business? What if you lose all of your money because you chose to start your own business? What should your father and I do, then?" s

Claire replied in a firm manner, "Mom, stop trying to force me! I'm never going to return to work for Wilson Group. Even if I have to beg for food on the streets, I would never return to work for Wilson Group in this lifetime! I might have to beg for food but I'll never lose my own pride or dignity!" 1

Elaine glared at Claire before she said, "Are you doing all just to preserve your own pride or dignity?” 5

After Elaine was done speaking, he started crying as she complained in an aggrieved tone, "Wilson Group is about to go bankrupt. If it really does shut down, then your father and I will not be receiving our pensions! You should know very well that we'll have to rely on this pension for our retirement fund when we grow

older! Moreover, even if your grandmother doesn't think highly of your father, he still has a stake in Wilson Group! If you refuse to return to the company, we'll also lose our dividends then! What are we going t o do in the future?” 10

Claire blurted out immediately, "Mom! The Wilson family deserves to go bankrupt because they don’t know how to manage their own company! Even if they go bankrupt today, I think they deserve it because they've brought it upon themselves!" 1

Elaine started to lose her temper at this time. "Claire! What are you talking about? We’ve already been part o f the Wilson family for a long time and you've already worked for Wilson Group for many years. Don't you feel anything at all if Wilson Group goes bankrupt just like this? Claire, can you consider going back to work for Wilson Group for my sake?" 6

Claire replied immediately, "Mom, I've always done everything that you want me to do. You asked me to give you most of my salary and I obeyed. You asked to be put in charge of our family's finances and I gave in t o you. Dad and I have never had any objections to you managing all our money. I've already given in to you all the time and I think you should show me a little respect. I really don't wish to go back and work for Wilson Group, and I want to start my own business and do something for myself. Can't you just support m e for the first time in your life?" 3

Elaine knew that she was wrong but after listening to Claire's words, she sat down on the sofa and kept crying as she said, "Why is my life so difficult? I've worked so hard to raise my daughter and I thought that I could depend on her to marry a good and capable husband. Who can ever understand why your grandfather insisted that you marry someone like Charlie? Now, my daughter doesn't even care about m e or bother to listen to my advice anymore. Tell me, what's the point of staying alive if my family doesn't even care about me anymore?" 5
