The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Chapter 187

Jacob was taken aback, and he quickly replied, "Mom, I am sorry, but the White family gave the villa to Charlie, not to me." 3

Lady Wilson started to lose her patience at this time, and she could not even be bothered to hide her intentions anymore. Upon hearing that, she said, " Charlie is the son-in-law of the Wilson family! Therefore, the villa that the White family gave to Charlie also belongs to the Wilson family! As the head of the Wilson family, don't you think that I have the right to live in that villa?" i

Right then, Charlie could not help but sneer at the old lady's words. He had not said anything before this because he had already expected nothing good would come out of this family gathering today.

It turned out that the old lady was trying to take the villa away from him. 4

When Jacob finally understood what his mother really wanted from him, he started sweating profusely and stammering as he looked at Charlie with a face filled with embarrassment.

Christopher suddenly spoke triumphantly. "Jacob, you are Charlie's father-in-law. If he does not obey even your commands, isn't he a little too arrogant? What status do you have, then?" 2

"That’s right!" Lady Wilson replied as she nodded in satisfaction. Her eyes were filled with greed, and she could not help but feel excited at the thought of living i n the big and luxurious villa in Thompson First.

Claire could not stand it anymore and decided to speak up. "Grandma, the villa does not belong to the Wilson family. If you want to take the villa, you will have to ask for Charlie’s opinion first. If Charlie is unwilling to give it away, no one can take it away from him!" 4

Lady Wilson frowned before glaring at Claire. She was very annoyed and unhappy right now.

"Who gave you the right to talk?” 2

The old lady then looked at Charlie with a cold expression on her face as she said, "The villa was given to you by the White family. You are just a son-in-law of the Wilson family, and therefore, you are not qualified to enjoy it. Go to the company's finance department tomorrow and take one hundred thousand dollars as a reward for giving the villa to m e." 7

Lady Wilson spoke in a commanding manner, as though there was no room for any discussion at all. 2

At this time, Christopher said, "Charlie, one hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money. You are nothing but a useless brat who is living off his wife. I bet you have never seen that much money before, anyway." 6

Charlie raised his head, and he glared at Christopher before sneering and saying, "You want to snatch the villa in Thompson First from me for a mere one hundred thousand dollars?! My villa is worth more than one hundred million dollars! Lady Wilson, don't you think that you are too shameless?” 9 All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

His voice was powerful and resonant, and everyone in the living room could hear him loud and clear.

The crowd of people was shocked, and the atmosphere in the living room became completely silent at this time. 3

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Charlie.

Surprise...

Shock...

Awe...

Claire was also shocked at this.

She did not expect Charlie to be so tough and courageous!

The expression on Lady Wilson's face changed immediately as she slammed her hands on the table before yelling, "Scumbag! How dare you talk back to m e?! Men! Come and throw Charlie out of my house right now!" 6

"You do not know how to be humble, and you have no respect for your elders at all! You are such a rude and arrogant person!" Harold also reprimanded Charlie at this time. “Grandma, I think that you should teach Charlie a lesson according to the rules laid down by the family! He is just a son-in-law of the Wilson family. How could he be so rude and arrogant to you?" 5

Jacob could only stare at Charlie, but he did not dare t o say anything at all.

"Humble and respectful?" Charlie asked as he sneered. After that, he replied coldly, "There is no need for me t o be respectful to anyone here today! You are all not worthy of my respect. In fact, the only person here today who is worthy of my respect is my father-in-law, Jacob!" 6

These people were all extremely greedy and materialistic. He was already sick of them ever since a long time ago! 2

Not to mention, even though she was Jacob's mother, Lady Wilson was always very mean and disrespectful toward her own son.

Also, Christopher was Jacob's elder brother, but he had always looked down on him. Furthermore, Christopher always wanted to take away anything that belonged to his younger brother.
