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

In Sean's opinion, he was convinced that there was nothing Charlie, the deadbeat moocher, could give to Lord Moore that was comparable to Vermeer's painting! 1 Thus, he concluded that he would win over Charlie big time and also become the winner in the gift-giving round who surprised the guests and impressed Lord Moore the most.

After all, in Sean's view, Charlie was just a worthless loser who had chosen to marry into his wife's family, it was impossible for him to come out with a decent gift, so no matter what his present was, it couldn't possibly be on par with the precious painting he had given Lord Moore! 3

Therefore, he sneered, "Grandpa Moore, I heard that Master Wade has been lingering in the feng shui fraud for some time now, he must have accumulated a significant fortune from all the scamming he did. I bet his birthday gift to you must be a precious treasure that is worth hundreds of millions, or maybe even billions of dollars!" 4

Then, he turned his sneer at Charlie, "The painting I gave is only worth 400 million, I believe your gift must be more expensive than mine!" 4

Lord Moore frowned at Sean's sarcastic remark, his dissatisfaction toward the young man growing. He

then said with a cold expression, "No matter what Master Wade gives to me, they are all priceless treasures!" Sean was taken aback by the cold treatment and unfriendly tone. 5
