The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 2985

Jeremiah’s words made Zacheus feel very unhappy deep inside his heart.

In his opinion, Jeremiah was simply saying this because he was defending his grandson.

The reason why Zacheus had looked for him was because he was hoping that Jeremiah would help him put in a good word in front of Charlie on his account t o see if this matter could be reduced from a big problem to a small issue.

However, he never would have dreamt that Jeremiah would tell him directly that he, Zacheus, would not be able to afford to offend his grandson?!

Wasn't he simply being a bully, then?!

Jeremiah seemed to have guessed what Zacheus was thinking, and he said seriously, "Zacheus, I know that you must think that I'm simply protecting Charlie, but let me tell you the truth. Although Charlie is my grandson, you'd still be no match for Charlie. The entire Wade family and even I are not capable of interfering in this matter at all." 3

Zacheus naturally did not believe this. When he heard these words, he could not help but feel a burst of anger and rage inside. The tone of his voice became a little

stronger as he said coldly, "I, Zacheus Zielinski, am not a master who is fearful of anything! I'm also not a master who would be willing to let just anyone casually trample all over me! If Uncle Wade and the Wade family really cannot interfere in this matter at all, I would like to take it up with that Charlie Wade and see who is even tougher, then!" 2

Jeremiah sighed and said, "If you really want to fight i t out with Charlie, I won't stop you. I can even promise you that I'll not interfere in this matter. However, if you lose to Charlie, there is a high probability that you will not be able to regain your personal freedom over the next few years. You have so many brothers and sisters in the Zielinski family. If something were to happen to you, the control over the entire Zielinski Group will end up in the hands of others."

Zacheus was suddenly at a loss for words.

As he listened to Jeremiah's tone, he suddenly felt that Jeremiah was not simply trying to protect his own grandson.

However, he simply could not accept this matter so easily and calmly. How could he simply allow his son t 0 be detained in such an obscure manner and go to work as a seaman for three years?!

Still, he felt that if he were to truly challenge Charlie and lose, it'd be just as Jeremiah had said. All of his other half-siblings would definitely rush forward to try and compete for his resources.
