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

Elaine did not know that both Christopher and Hannah had already begun plotting to rob her of her assets and the luxurious villa at Thompson First that was owned by her son-in-law, Charlie. 5

She continued playing mahjong at Summer's villa with her friends until late at night, not even bothering to go home for dinner. The four ladies decided to order some KFC takeaways instead. They held on to the bucket of chicken as they enjoyed their chicken drumsticks and mahjong game. They could not stop smiling as they continued touching the mahjong tiles. 5

Charlie was already done preparing dinner and was enjoying a meal with his wife and father-in-law at this time. Claire could not help but complain when she saw that her mother was not home at all. After that, Claire said, "Dad! Can you please start to control mom occasionally? You should try to stop her from playing mahjong and gambling all the time!" 2

"Control her?" Jacob snorted before he said, "I do not have the ability to do that. Why don't you try and control her instead? If I can actually control your mother, do you think I would be in this state today? Do you know the reason why your grandmother had always favored and doted on her uncle instead of me?" 5

Claire was very surprised as she asked her father, "It cannot possibly be because of mother, right?"

"It is precisely because of her!" Jacob replied as he sighed. "In the beginning, your grandfather and grandmother did not allow me to get married to your mother. If your mother had not been pregnant with you, your grandfather would never have given in and compromised in the end."

Charlie was very surprised when he heard his father-in-law's words. He never expected his mother-in-law and the old man to actually have a baby before marriage! 1

At this time, Jacob continued telling Claire, "Actually, your grandmother has never liked your mother. This fact has not changed at all even after more than twenty years." 2
