The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1397

At this time, Claire did not have any intentions to be on guard against Quinn, who was just like a goddess to her.

In her eyes, Quinn was the perfect embodiment of a contemporary woman. Claire felt that there was no need for her to be cautious over a woman like Quinn, who was absolutely perfect in every aspect. Therefore, Claire would never have imagined that a woman like Quinn would actually turn out to be her potential rival in love. 5

Charlie was also relieved at this time. He planned to secretly make a trip to Eastcliff after Aurora's final match so that he could secretly meet Quinn's father, Yule.

His true goal was not to meet Yule, but to cure Yule's advanced pancreatic cancer.

Yule was his father's good brother. For so many years, Yule not only paid homage to his parents every New Year, but he had not relaxed for a moment, nor had he ever given up on searching for Charlie's whereabouts. Therefore, Charlie really wanted to express his gratitude and repay his kindness.

Moreover, he could take advantage of this opportunity to go to Eastcliff to meet up with Stephen so that he could find him and gather more clues and information.

Thus, he would probably need at least three to five days for his trip to Eastcliff this time. 7

He had to be away from home for three to five days, and he did not want to arouse his wife's suspicions. Therefore, the best excuse he could come up with would be to ask Quinn to invite him to go to her house in Eastcliff to help her to take a look at the Feng Shui in her house. 6

Quinn had also brought up the invitation in front of his wife so that his wife would not have any doubts about it. 5

When Quinn saw that Claire had readily agreed to it, she nodded happily before she smiled and said, "I really did not expect you to agree to it so readily, Mrs. Wade. I was still worried that you would be against the idea." 1

Claire hurriedly replied, "Miss Golding, I am more than happy that you can recognize my husband's skills and abilities. Why would I be against the idea? However, I hope that you will be patient and give my husband all the help that you can just in case he is not doing well." 2

"Why would that happen?" Quinn smiled as she said, "I have absolute faith in Mr. Wade's abilities. I believe that my father and my family members will also feel the same way. Therefore, Mrs. Wade, I would really like to thank you for giving us your blessing and for helping us to accomplish our aim." 4

Claire was very flattered, and she hurriedly said, "Miss

Golding, you are too polite!"

Charlie could not help but feel a little helpless and depressed when he realized that Quinn seemed to have an ulterior motive behind her words. He knew that she was secretly giving him all sorts of signals and hints.

He knew that Quinn was saying all these words to him, and at the same time, she was also cryptically saying these words to Claire. Charlie also understood that this was Quinn's way of demonstrating her power and showing off to Claire in front of him. 5

However, he was helpless, and there was nothing that he could do at all.

After all, he had let Quinn down, and he had also betrayed the marriage contract that was made between both their parents in the past. Therefore, he did not have the face to blame her or hold it against her for this. 4

What made Charlie feel even more frustrated was the fact that he could not just turn Quinn down the way he had turned Loreen down. 7

Although Loreen liked him, instead of owing her anything, he had already saved her life many times. So, even if he rejected her and turned her down in a very straightforward manner every time, Charlie did not feel any psychological burden or guilt whatsoever.

However, Quinn was different.

He had had a marriage contract with her. Moreover, she had been looking for him, waiting for him, and also looking forward to seeing him even throughout all these years. On the other hand, he had broken her heart and let her down. No matter how you looked at this matter, it was his fault, s

At this time, Claire, who was completely in the dark, mustered up the courage to say to Quinn, "Miss Golding, I... can I take a picture with you?"

Quinn readily agreed and smiled as she asked, "Sure! Do you want to take the picture now?"

Claire nodded as she said, "Yes. We can take the picture now if it is convenient for you!"

Quinn nodded before she took the initiative to move her chair and lean in closer to Claire. After that, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Wade, you are so beautiful, so it is actually very stressful for me to take a picture with you." 2

"How could that be possible?" Claire replied awkwardly, "I should be the one who is feeling very pressured! Miss Golding, you are not only very beautiful, but you are also a top celebrity in the country. I cannot help but feel a little ashamed and inferior in front of you..."
