The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 35

After settling Elaine's problem, Elaine and Charlie parted ways. Hugging the suitcase happily like a child holding a lollipop, Elaine went to the bank to make a deposit while Charlie went home. 3

Upon entering the house, Charlie saw Claire's shoes in the hallway, so he knew that she had returned and went straight to their bedroom. 1

As soon as he entered the room, he saw his wife just hanging up the phone, her face painted with surprise and excitement.

He asked curiously, "Dear, who was it on the phone?"

Claire shrieked excitedly, "It's my bestie, Doreen! Do you remember her?" 1

"Yes, I do," Charlie nodded and continued, "She used to study in Aurous Hill and was very close to you. In fact, if I recall correctly, she is the daughter of the wealthy Thomas family in Eastcliff, isn’t she?" 2

"Yes!" Claire said, "Doreen's family is quite prominent i n Eastcliff." 2

Charlie smiled and asked, "So what is it about? Is she coming to Aurous Hill for a visit?" 2

"Not just for a visit, she’s coming to work here!" 2

Charlie frowned, confused. "She is the daughter of a prominent family in Eastcliff. Why doesn't she work

for her family’s company but come to work here instead?" 2

Claire shrugged. "I don't know either. She told me that she is going to start working for Emgrand Group. As for why she has come all the way to Emgrand, I'm not sure." 5

Charlie nodded in acknowledgement but there was a thought running through his mind. 'Although the Thomas family was not on par with the Wade family, they have a strong foundation in Eastcliff. Loreen has no excuse to ditch her family business and come to Aurous Hill to work with Emgrand.' 3

'Hmm, does she have another hidden agenda that I'm not aware of?' 5

Skeptical thoughts filled Charlie’s mind and he hadn't had a clue for the moment, so all he could do for now was to wait until Loreen joined Emgrand Group and let Doris investigate her background and motives. 3
