The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 250

At this time, Charlie quickly asked out of curiosity, " What do you mean?" 5

Jasmine replied in a serious manner, "Mr. Wade, you look like a very simple and casual person but you're actually very skillful and capable. However, despite being very capable, you're not arrogant at all. After getting to know you better, I realize that you won’t try t o show off your skills or abilities but if anyone touches your limit or challenges you, you won't hesitate to show them what you are capable of. Moreover, the methods that you use to counter-attack or defend yourself is usually very unpredictable and quite unlike how an ordinary person would react." 4

After that, Jasmine continued speaking, "Most importantly, I really don’t understand why you’d choose to become a stay-home son-in-law of the Wilson family when you're actually so capable and talented. The Wilson family is just a regular and second or probably third-rate family. I think you can definitely do much better because you have so much potential in you. Don't you feel that way at all?"

Charlie did not answer her question but he asked her another question instead. "Then, where do you think I belong if not in the Wilson family?"

Jasmine replied seriously, "I think that someone like you should be married to a prestigious top-notch

family. I believe that many powerful and wealthy families would be dying to marry their daughters to you because you are so skillful and capable."

At this time, Charlie smiled before he replied, "What's the point in that? If someone were to get married because of the family's interest, then there would be n o element of love in the relationship at all. Why would someone in a powerful and wealthy family be willing t o marry a person she has no feelings or affection for? Moreover, if the guy marries into her family, wouldn't he be living under the control and command of her family for the rest of his life?" 3

Jasmine replied naturally, "Of course! This has always been the way it is in all the powerful and wealthy families. They're always particularly strict with their daughters. For instance, the children of powerful and wealthy families would always be required to attend the top aristocratic school in the city to have excellent knowledge and good social etiquette. Our families have also strictly forbidden us from contacting any members of the opposite sex and we're not allowed to fall in love with someone else on our own."

"What?" Charlie asked in surprise. "We're in the twenty -first century now! Why does it seem as though the wealthy and powerful families are more feudal compared to those people in the past?" 5

"This is not feudalism," Jasmine replied in a serious manner. "This is the survival rule for upper class families.”

Charlie sighed when he heard Jasmine's explanation. After that, he said, “It seems as though there are also many troubles that you face as a member of a powerful and wealthy family. It seems as though the money a person has, the greedier they become." 1

Charlie knew that he would also be placed in a similar position if he were to return to the Wade family now. The Wade family would definitely try to exert control over his life and they might even look down on the Wilson family. If things got complicated, Charlie believed that the Wade family would also attempt to force him to divorce Claire just so they could get him t 0 marry another woman from a similarly wealthy and powerful family instead. 4

It seemed as though he really should not return to the Wade family.

As he thought about this matter to himself, Charlie suddenly asked, "By the way, Jasmine, I think you're also at the age where you should be getting married. Has your family already arranged for your marriage yet?" 1

Jasmine shook her head before she replied, "Well, the elders were initially making the necessary marriage arrangement for my cousin Reuben. His marriage was decided on a long time ago and my grandfather has arranged for him to marry the daughter of a very wealthy and powerful family in the northern region. However, when Grandpa was about to arrange my marriage, he fell seriously ill and they decided to postpone this plan instead. Since my grandpa is already recovering, I believe he'll start planning my marriage soon...”
