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

When she heard her mother's words, Sophie was in an extremely good mood. She held her mother's arm, and she could not hide her excitement as she said, "Mom, my benefactor called Grandpa in front of me today. Charlie told Grandpa that he was going to look for him to settle the score with him over the phone, and Grandpa was scared out of his wits..."

"Is that so?" Helen could not help but ask, "Was Charlie seriously prepared to go and look for your grandfather to settle the score with him?"

"Not exactly." Sophie explained, "My benefactor felt that it would not do him any good if he were to go and settle the score with Grandpa now. On the contrary, he would only be doing my uncles and aunts as well as the Wade family a favor by giving them a huge benefit." 2

"Yes." Helen agreed as she said, "There are so many people in the Schulz family who are looking forward to your grandfather meeting with a mishap as compared to Charlie. If Charlie were to really do something to him, the other members of the Schulz family would be so happy that they would even be waking up from their dreams with a smile on their faces!"

Sophie laughed and said, "That is why my benefactor said that he was simply bluffing and scaring Grandpa so that Grandpa would come and ask me for help. As soon as he hung up the phone, Grandpa really called me to look for me! My benefactor truly has incredible foresight."

Helen nodded before she laughed softly and said, "In truth, it is not that he has incredible foresight, but it is simply because Charlie has already blocked all of your grandfather's ways out, and he left your grandfather with you as his only hope. This is just like a lake that is formed by a landslip. The water will naturally gush and flow wherever there is an opening."

After she was done speaking, Helen added, "Charlie is helping you again this time. Your grandfather is so threatened by him that he can only beg for your help to save his life. Moreover, he would not dare to have any bad thoughts or bad intentions against you in the future." 2

"Yes." Sophie smiled as she said, "Moreover, in order to flatter me, he even offered to give me that island in Maldives-the island he was keeping for his retirement!" 4
