The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 229

Claire didn't want to shake Peter’s hand, but since he had offered it, it would be rude to refuse him. Thus, she pursed her lips and extended her hand reluctantly, i

Just as Peter was silently thrilled and was about to grab Claire's fair hand, suddenly, a large hand came out of nowhere and grabbed his hand firmly. 4

Peter was stunned for a moment. Looking up angrily, h e growled, "What the hell!? Who are you?"

Claire lifted her gaze as well and was a little dazed at what she saw.

"Charlie! When did you come?" 2

She then quickly turned to Peter and explained, "He is my husband."

Peter's face turned gloomy as if a dark cloud hovered above his head when he heard the word 'husband'.

"I just arrived." Charlie smiled at Claire and then turned to Peter, pretending not to see the change of his expression, and then said, "You are Peter Murray, aren't you? The boss of Millenium Enterprise?" 3

Peter said in a sullen tone, "Yes, that’s me. So what?" 1

"Nothing. It's just that you’re quite a lecherous, dirty old man!" Charlie nodded and intentionally lengthened his tone.

Agitated, Peter tried to withdraw his hand, but Charlie grabbed onto him like a pair of iron tongs that made it impossible for him to break free.

Peter hissed as his palm hurt more and more, and he felt as though his bones were about to break. "Hey, let ... let go of my hand! It's very painful!" 3

Claire knew that Charlie was very strong, and so, she urged, "Charlie, let go."

Peter's tone was very rude and direct because he had n o respect for Charlie whatsoever, and he wanted to send him away as soon as possible. 3

Most of the people in the social circle knew about the deadbeat son-in-law of the Wilson family. Peter lamented that a magnificent beauty like Claire was married to a moocher. 3

Charlie, on the other hand, frowned at the annoying tone and glanced at Peter coldly.

'Claire'? Were they on the first name basis now? She was not your wife, b*stard! 2

Peter stared at Charlie in disdain and said, "Charlie, if you are a man, don't bother Claire! Can you help her? D o you have the money for her company? Can you get her a contract of architectural drawings?" 2

"If you can’t, I suggest that you go and get a job. You can be a deliveryman or even a security guard. Don't stay at home all day long and be suspicious of your wife like a miserable loser husband!"
