The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 970

Charlie and Claire sat down on Mrs. Lewis's righthand side at her request. The others took their seats one by one.

As soon as everyone sat down, Mrs. Lewis glanced at all of them and donned a gentle smile. "Kids, I'm so happy and thankful that you still remember me for all these years and even visit me!" 2

Everyone on the table quickly said, "Mrs. Lewis, what are you talking about? It's what we should do."

Mrs. Lewis asked, "How have you all been all these years?"

They answered with a smile, "Thanks for your concern, we are doing quite well.”

After leaving the orphanage for many years, everyone led their own lives in the direction they could head, but in general, they were just ordinary people.

Regardless of the ideology and ambitions in the past, all of it diminished by the cruel reality. They eventually returned to ordinary life.

Everyone had changed a lot. As they talked about their lives, they sounded casual and relaxed, but the listeners fell silent. Apparently, not all of them were leading a happy life.

Without family support and background, they could only rely on themselves in a harsh and realistic

society. It was considered good for achieving what they were at now, but it was unrealistic to dream big and far. 6

Someone asked, "Max, I heard that you are now the director of a listed company, is it true?"

Max laughed in delight. "Yeah! I've been a director for six months now!”

Many people gaped in astonishment. "Wow, a director i n a listed company! Your annual salary must be at least a few hundred thousand, right? Max, you're amazing, no wonder you can afford a Merc!" 9

Was Max the White family’s employee? It was getting more interesting now. 7

Since Charlie was awfully silent, Max asked in a mocking tone, "By the way, Charlie, what do you do now? Don't tell me you've been mooching on your wife ever since you married into their family." 6

His lackeys laughed sinisterly upon his remarks.

No matter how patient Charlie was, he was starting to get annoyed by Max's continuous provocation. He glared at Max and said flatly, "Yes, I have to do the laundry, cooking, and clean the house every day. It is quite a busy yet fulfilling life, I don't have the time to find a job.”

Charlie was telling the truth, but it became the funniest joke when it resonated in Max's ears. He laughed out loud and mocked, "Oh please, Charlie, stop saving your face. Everyone knows how awful it must b e to you, stop pretending as if being a househusband i s the most enjoyable life you can have!" 7

Then, he said in a deliberate tone, "Oh yeah, since we are childhood buddies, I'm offering you a job. I am looking for an assistant recently, why don't you come and join Scott to help me out?”
