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

When Charlie heard Claire's ridicule, he felt a thump in his heart.

He was really afraid that if his mother-in-law and wife had nothing better to do, they would continue reasoning with one another before finally revealing his true identity.

Therefore, Charlie could not help but feel a little nervous when Claire placed her doubts directly on him. 2

At this time, Elaine waved her hand before she looked at Charlie. After that, she said with a flattering smile," Claire, I think that what you just said is very unlikely. Although my good son-in-law is a very promising young man now, this is also a pretty recent matter. When Loreen came to Aurous Hill, my good son-in-law had not achieved any great things yet.

Elaine nodded as she said, "Okay, I will not talk much later, then." 1

Charlie was finally relieved. 2
