The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

When everyone saw the arrogant expression on Mr. Quinton's face, the surrounding crowd held their breaths because they were certain that Charlie would lose in this confrontation. 5

However, Charlie had a calm expression on his face, and he smiled as he replied, "I think that this is not your first time participating in an antique trade. Do you have any idea what is the most important thing in the antique trade industry?" 3

Who would want to continue doing business with you on Antique Street if you are going to break the rules to get what you want? You will be barred from coming into Antique Street, Mr. Quinton."

Mr. Quinton was stunned upon listening to Charlie's words, and anger flashed across his face. 4
