The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 3311

Clayton felt extremely depressed upon hearing Charlie's words.

He understood the meaning behind Charlie's words. What he meant was that from now on, regardless of whether he was going to be staying at the Wade family's old mansion or whether he was staying in Eastcliff or not, he, Charlie Wade, had officially returned to the Wade family.

Clayton cursed in his heart, 'This kid makes people feel a little disgusted when he does this...' 3

However, Clayton naturally did not dare to say anything in front of Jeremiah.

So, he could only smile and say, "Good! Good! It's good that you're back!"

Lord Wade then turned around to introduce his third uncle Caleb, fourth uncle Carlisle, aunt Carmen, and youngest aunt Charlotte, to Charlie. 2

When he was introducing Carmen to Charlie, Carmen had a very attentive expression on her face as she said with great excitement, "Charlie, Aunt has been waiting for you to come back for so many years. You're finally back home now! The spirits of your parents in heaven will definitely be relieved!" 1

As she said that, she made a few sad sobbing sounds, but there were no tears on her face.

Charlie had long been accustomed to Carmen's pretense. After all, Carmen was a noble member of the Wade family. In the words of the modern people nowadays, she was definitely an old princess now.

The old princess had been arrogant and domineering all her life. She had never needed to bow to anyone and so, it was completely understandable if her acting skills were not that good right now.

After all, this kind of old princess usually did not have the energy to study and improve her acting skills.

Charlie could also see that she was trying her best to put on an act, but her tears were really not at her disposal.

So, Charlie also smiled faintly and said politely," Thank you, Aunt."

But Charlie's youngest aunt, Charlotte, who had not spoken or said a word all this while, already had flushed red eyes.

When Lord Wade introduced her to Charlie, tears were already rolling down her cheeks. She held Charlie's hands as she cried and choked up as she said," Charlie, now that you're already back home this time, don't ever leave again..." When Charlie looked at his youngest aunt who was about forty years old standing in front of him, he could not help but think of his childhood. 4

Charlotte was twelve years older than himself. When he was young, he was a small child, and she was a big child.

At that time, Charlie was always clinging to her because she would always take him out to play with her every day after school. 2

As for Charlotte, she would always be clinging to Charlie's father because she had the closest relationship with him out of all of their older siblings.

Charlie's father had also doted on

his youngest sister, and he basically treated her like his own daughter in general. He would always give her whatever she wanted, so although there was a big age difference between the two siblings, they had a very harmonious and cordial relationship.

In Charlie's memory, his youngest aunt had a very lively and cheerful personality. She did not scheme as much as Carmen did.

At this time, Carmen had gotten very close to Clayton, and she had deliberately drawn the distance between herself and his father, Curtis.

The reason was because Carmen felt that the future heir of the Wade family would definitely be Clayton, who was the eldest son. So, she had already developed a sense of standing in the line early on. 2

Charlotte had never had such complicated thoughts.

When Charlie had left home with his parents, his youngest aunt, Charlotte, had been attending school abroad. Charlie's last memory of her was still stuck in the scene when she had graduated from high school and everyone was seeing her off as she went abroad. At that time, his youngest aunt had still been a young girl, yet now, she was already in her forties.

When he saw that his youngest

aunt's feelings were true and

sincere, Charlie could not help but

feel a sigh of relief in his heart. He said respectfully, "Don't worry, Youngest Aunt. I came back this

time to acknowledge my ancestors. So, even if I were to leave Eastcliff temporarily in the future, will not cut off contact with the Wade family completely." 3

With these words, Charlie's intention was already very clear.

After returning to the Wade family this time, he would definitely be returning to Aurous Hill. However, he had already acknowledged his ancestors formally, and he was now officially a member of the Wade family's direct line again.

When Jeremiah and Charlotte heard these words, they were both naturally very happy. However, the others were all very upset and dissatisfied when they heard this.

Charlie's phrase where he was acknowledging his ancestors meant that there would now be another competitor who would be vying for the Wade family's assets in the future.

After Lord Wade brought Charlie to greet all of his elders one by one, the rest of them were those who

were Charlie's equals. 2

The oldest was Felix, followed by Hugh and several other younger siblings.

Aside from Felix and Hugh, the rest of these rich heirs who had been pampered since their childhood did not have many feelings for Charlie who was just a relative of theirs who had been away from home for twenty years. Everyone simply exchanged a few pleasantries with Charlie on the surface. 3
