The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Only then did Charlie come back to his senses and say with a smile, "Thank you, but there's no need for you to go through all the trouble. We're not thirsty."

As he spoke, Lady Jenson washed her hands. She disregarded the water droplets on her hand and hurriedly trotted in as she spoke with some trepidation, "Our distinguished guests, please have a seat. I feel really sorry because our family is poor so we don't have any decent furniture for you to sit on!"

Charlie said respectfully, "Lady Jenson, please have a seat first!"

Lady Jenson hesitated for a moment and then smiled as she sat down in front of Charlie. She looked at Charlie kindly and asked curiously, "Young man, you said that your father knows my husband, so I wonder what is your father's name?"

Charlie was suddenly at a loss for words.

In truth, his previous idea was very simple. After finding the old lady, he would give her a Rejuvenating Pill under the pretext that he was the son of her husband's good friend. He would then tell her that he had already bought a house and a storefront in Sentermill for her and her son, and he would then invite her to settle down in Sentermill.

If she doubted his identity or was unwilling to accept it, he would have his own way to deal with this matter, which was through psychological hints.

At the time, he would use psychological hints to let them accept whatever he said and to accept his gift of property and money with peace of mind so that they would not be able to see through him.noveldrama

However, based on the current situation, this old lady did not seem ordinary at all. Charlie wanted to understand her better, but he felt that it would not be right if he were to use psychological hints in a simple and rude manner in order to question the old lady. Therefore, he was suddenly at a loss for what to do.

The old lady could also see Charlie's embarrassment and dilemma, so she said to her son, "Jeremy, you should grab your crossbow and arrow to go out and hunt a pheasant before it's dark. We have distinguished guests today, so we have to entertain them and serve them some chicken, at least."

The middle-aged man nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, Mom. You should entertain our guests first. I'll go out now."

With that said, the middle-aged man grabbed a homemade crossbow from behind the door and quickly walked out of the house.

Charlie could tell that the old lady wanted to get rid of her son first, so he did not say anything.

Isaac was a little surprised and asked her, "Lady Jenson, wouldn't it be dangerous if he goes hunting when it's already so late?"

The old lady shook her head and said, "Jeremy has great hunting skills. We don't have any young people here, and the elderly can't hunt, so there are pheasants and wild boars everywhere. He is very familiar with this place, so he won't be in any danger."

With that said, the old lady sighed and said in distress, "It's just that my son was tricked into going to Mexico some time ago where he had a kidney and half of his liver removed. Fortunately, his body recovered very well, and he did not suffer any sequelae. He is still well and alive..."

Charlie was not surprised when he heard this.

After all, he had simply used Reiki to erase the old lady and the others' memory of him, but their memories of being cheated, mutilated, and witnessing others being mutilated, were still there.

So, he went along with the old lady's words and said in surprise, “Is there still such a sensational thing?"

The old lady nodded, sighed, and said, "Jeremy wants to leave the mountains, and he wants me to be able to live a good life, but he has never studied and has never liked studying. He has liked building crossbows and traps to hunt in the mountains since he was young, so he can't find a good job outside and does not have any social experience. So, he trusted others easily and almost lost his life after going all the way to Mexico!"

Charlie comforted her, "It is said that those who survive a catastrophe are bound to have good fortune later on, so you don't have to be too sad."

The old lady nodded, quietly wiped her tears, then looked at Charlie and asked seriously, "Young man, I'm going to ask you a question boldly. Are you our benefactor?"
