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

As he thought about this, he immediately told Charlie, "Mr. Wade, I am so sorry, but I got delayed on the road for a few days. That is the reason why I was late..." 1

Claire, Jacob, and Elaine were even more surprised at this time.

Why was Dylan apologizing to Charlie? Did they know each other?

When he saw the surprised look on his family members' faces, Charlie smiled slightly as he hurriedly said, "Mr. Koch, you are being too polite. Since I said that I will invite you to dinner, no matter whether you are early or late, I will still honor my promise to you." s

Dylan was taken aback for a moment because he could not understand why Charlie was suddenly being so polite to him.

After that, he suddenly realized that he might have said the wrong things. 3

Charlie probably did not want his family to find out about this conflict with him.

Therefore, Dylan hurriedly acted accordingly to Charlie's words before he continued saying, "If that is the case, I would like to thank Mr. Wade in advance. We can arrange for another time to meet up after the New Year, then."

Charlie nodded before he smiled and said to Claire, his father-in-law, and mother-in-law, "When I went to Eastcliff to help someone take a look at their Feng Shui, it just so happened that Claire asked me to attend Lady Thomas's birthday banquet on her behalf. I met Mr. Koch at the birthday banquet. When I heard that he was going to come to Aurous Hill soon, I told him that I would invite him out for dinner when he arrives in Aurous Hill."
