The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 953

The window of the Mercedes-Benz was wound down. Charlie peered at the man behind the window and instantly recognized him.

He was Max Wyatt, the guy who had taken the liberty t o organize today's gathering in their messenger group.

However, Charlie and he were just normal acquaintances.

Max was dressed in a suit that seemed tight over his chubby figure and leather shoes. He stopped the car when he saw the crowd, poked his head out of the car window, and said, "Oh, hey, sorry guys for keeping you waiting.”

A tinge of arrogance and hubris hovered in his eyes. H e cleared his throat and explained in a smug tone, "Oh, there was a traffic jam on my way here, that’s why I'm late." 6

Someone gaped in surprise, "Wow, Max, is this your car? When did you buy it?"

Max laughed pompously. "I just got it two days ago."

Charlie squinted in realization. No wonder this guy was so eager in organizing the get-together, he just wanted to show off his brand new car to his childhood friends! s

Someone asked, "Hey, Max, what model is this car? It

must burn a hole in your pocket, huh?"

Max laughed triumphantly yet said in a pretentious humble tone, "Nah, it’s just a lousy E300L. Overall, it costs me around half a million."

"Whoa!!"

Everyone exclaimed in bewilderment.

"Wow, Max, you are so d*mn rich! You’ve only worked for a few years but you can already afford such an expensive car!" 10

"Yeah! We still have to take buses, but you are already driving a Merc! We're really muddy in comparison!" i

He didn’t expect that Charlie, his all-time rival, had arrived earlier than he did.

Back in the orphanage, he looked down on people like Charlie, so he always bullied him, but because of the difference in their strength and skills, he was often being beaten by Charlie instead. 10

As time went by, Charlie had become a traumatic existence in his mind that he couldn’t shake off even until now. 5

He once thought that people like Charlie who was good at fighting would not do well in society. 5

He glimpsed at Charlie’s attire and snorted. He was right! Charlie was still the same old loser with the lowly brands of clothing he wore.

However, the pretty Claire made him so shocked that his eyes lit up in astonishment!

He had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life.
