The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

As Scarface turned his head and stumbled upon Charlie, he was puzzled at first, and then suddenly, his expression had a drastic change! He was extremely shocked and quickly knelt on the floor! 2

Before anyone could regain their composure, Scarface threw away the knife, started slapping himself, and cried, "Mr. Wade, I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were here, I'm terribly sorry!" 1

Charlie was taken aback by the sudden shift in reaction. "Do you know me?"

Scarface nodded profusely and said, "Yes, Mr. Wade, Bill is my boss, I saw you the other day at Heaven

Springs..."

Charlie was suddenly enlightened.

Interesting.

It was Bill, Don Albert’s man, who had tormented Gerald and Harold at the Heaven Springs the other day. This man was Bill’s guy.

No wonder he was so afraid of him. 1

Even Don Albert's legs went jelly when he saw Charlie, let alone the guy of his guy...

Everyone was shocked by the scene! Lily had her mouth agape as well!

They couldn't understand why a fierce gangster, who just beat up Clinton, would kneel down in front of Charlie? Moreover, he seemed like he was very scared of him! 4

Claire was equally dumbfounded. She tugged Charlie’s arm and asked, "What's going on? Do you know him?" 2

Charlie quickly shook his head, worrying that she might misunderstand the scenario. "No! I don’t know him!"

Scarface immediately interjected, "No, he doesn't know me! I don’t know him, he doesn't know me! It’s just that Mr. Wade's reputation precedes him and I’m honored to meet him..." 1

The flattery was a perfect ten!

He was honored to meet him? Who? Charlie?

No one could accept this reality, it was too magical and strange! 2

Scarface frantically turned to Douglas and muttered," As you are Mr. Wade’s friend, you'll have my full protection from now on and I won't charge you any fee! If anything happens, I’ll have your back!" 1

Astounding awe echoed the restaurant like a shock wave upon Scarface's remark! 1

Lily was so excited she almost cried. The stark contrast between Clinton and Charlie was so thrilling and amusing! 1

Because of Charlie, not only could she keep the 40% share but they were even receiving full protection for free since Scarface wanted to curry favor with Charlie! 4

They could finally operate their business with peace o f mind!

Charlie was their savior! 3

Douglas was very grateful too. He held Charlie's hands and said sincerely, "Charlie, thank you so so much."

Charlie smiled gently. "You're welcome, I'm just lending a hand."

Scarface looked at Clinton, who was unconscious after the vicious beating, and said with worry, "Mr. Wade, I'm sorry for beating up your friend..." 1

Charlie said flatly, "It's ok, he's not my friend, he's just an acquaintance.” 3

Then, he added, "Send him to the hospital. Don't disturb the opening ceremony here." 3

Scarface nodded immediately. "Don't worry, we'll take him to the hospital right away! Mr. Wade, please proceed with the party! Excuse us!" 1

He turned and urged his men to pick up the unconscious Clinton and ran out the door.

When they had gone, everyone turned their gaze at Charlie, the original disdain was replaced by surprise, then with admiration. 1

No one knew why Charlie had such an influence and

power out of sudden. It seemed that the guy had become someone else overnight! 4

As the gathering proceeded, many people came forward to butter Charlie up, including Lily, who had always treated Charlie with contempt since the beginning. 2 NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Now, Lily worshipped Charlie like a godlike deity. She expressed her gratitude profusely and even offered him a lifetime free meal in their restaurant. 2

Charlie didn't mind any of this. His intention was simple-he wanted to lend a hand to solve a problem for his friend, Douglas, and that was all. 1

However, in the eyes of others, his doings today had a layer of extraordinary mystery and magic in it! 1

Everyone wanted to know what actually happened to the deadbeat loser?
