The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Charlie did not continue covering up in the face of Marianne's questioning. He asked Marianne, "Miss Long, do you know that your father once made a promise to a man named Curtis Wade more than twenty years ago, saying that he would not continue causing trouble for a young man named Janus Campbell? However, Curtis Wade passed away due to an accident not long after that, and your father then broke his promise immediately, causing Janus Campbell to live in hiding in Oskiatown for more than twenty years." Marianne's eyes widened as she stared at Charlie in disbelief and asked him, "What... What is your relationship with these two people?"

Charlie said indifferently, "Curtis Wade is my father, and Janus Campbell is my father's good friend."

When Marianne heard this news, she was instantly shocked. She stared at Charlie, choked up, and said, "So, that means that you did not come to Hong Kong and stay in our house to discuss a collaboration with my father at all. You were deliberately approaching our family so that you could wait for an opportunity to exact revenge on my father..."

As she said that, Marianne's eyes instantly flushed red, and she could not stop the tears from flowing out of her eyes. She asked softly, "So, you were simply putting on an act from the moment we met until we parted at noon today, right?"

Marianne stared at Charlie with a desolate look in her eyes, and Charlie subconsciously explained, "There's no doubt that I was acting, but I was only putting on an act in front of Shawn."

Marianne had tears in her eyes as she questioned," Weren't you also putting on an act when you were in front of me? If you were not putting on an act, why did you hide your true identity as well as your true intentions from me?!"

Charlie looked at Janus, who was next to him, and said indifferently, "The reason why I hid my identity and intention was to wait so that I could administer justice for Uncle Janus today. You should also know how much effort your father has put into taking Uncle Janus's life. If I did not come here today, Uncle Janus may have already been assassinated as soon as he stepped out of the entrance of this airport!"

Marianne followed the direction of Charlie's gaze. When she saw Janus, she was inevitably a little ashamed.

So, she looked at Janus, bowed deeply, and then said apologetically, "Mr. Campbell, I've heard of how my father has wanted to kill you before, and I have tried persuading him many times over the past few years about this matter. However, he has always beaten around the bush on the grounds that your whereabouts are unknown. I also only learned from someone else that you have returned to Hong Kong today. Therefore, I hurried over here because I wanted to make it clear to my father that he should not make things difficult for you anymore no matter what it is."

Having said that, Marianne glanced at Charlie again and said resentfully, "It's just that I didn't expect that this would turn out to be the current situation after I rushed over..."

When Shawn beard this, he

immediately cried and said,

"Marianne, Treally know that I was wrong now. Please help me beg for Mr. Wade's mercy so that he will give me a chance to repent. I'm willing to pay any price for it..."

Marianne sighed and then looked at Charlie before she pursed her lips and pleaded, "Mr. Wade, I beg you please do not make things too difficult for my father on the account that he did not make too big of a mistake..."

Having said that, Marianne looked at Shawn and said, "Although my father's style of action is not very upright and he does not have a very good character in the eyes of the public, he is already old, after all..." 6

"Furthermore, as his daughter, I

know him very well. Although he is not a good person, he is also not considered a bad person either. He is just a little narrow-minded and profit-oriented if you were tonoveldrama

compare him to a truly and

evil person like Solomon, but he has never killed anyone else before. Fortunately, you came forward and dealt with Mr. Campbell's matter this time, and it's thanks to you that my father did not make a big mistake..."

Shawn did not expect that he would have such an image in his daughter's eyes. 1

However, he knew very well that every word that his daughter had said was true.

He was not a good person nor had he done any good deeds, and he had a somewhat obscene behavior, but he could not be considered to be a bad person who could not be forgiven.

He had never killed anyone in his life or gotten anyone else to kill for him.

The only person that he had ever wanted to kill was Janus, but that had not worked out either. 21
