The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1581

Charlie followed Loreen into the house.

The residences of prominent families in Eastcliff were extremely luxurious. Once you entered the door, the living hall alone was almost as big as a small banquet hall. 6

At this moment, the living hall was very crowded and bustling with people and their chattery sounds. Many of Eastcliff's prominent figures gathered in the hall, chatting in groups. 3 Lady Thomas, accompanied by her husband, was talking and laughing with several old friends of her age.

Loreen hurriedly said to Charlie, "My grandma is over there. Let's go and meet her."

Charlie nodded and said with a smile, "We are just in time to give your grandmother the gift I prepared."

They walked in front of the old couple, and Loreen greeted them with a warm smile, "Grandma, Grandpa, let me introduce you... this is my college mate, Charlie Wade!"

Lady Thomas smiled and said, "Oh my, it's Loreen's college mate! Welcome!"

Then, she added, "By the way, Loreen, I remember a young girl who was very close to you during college.

Her name is Claire Wilson, right?" 5

Charlie hastily answered, "Hello, Lady Thomas. I am Claire's husband. Actually, Claire wanted to come to your banquet in person, but she was caught up with work and some family affairs, so she let me come over on her behalf. I'm sorry for her absence." 7

Lady Thomas replied with a smile, "Oh, Claire is now married!"

Then, she turned to Loreen and said in a serious voice, "Loreen, look, your college mates are getting married one after another, and you don't even have a boyfriend. Listen to me. Don't go back to Aurous Hill. Come back and find a boyfriend in Eastcliff and get married soon! Don't make me worry about you!"

Loreen's mind was filled with mixed emotions at that very moment.

She had fallen head over heels in love with Charlie, so i n her heart, she had already decided that Charlie was the only one she would marry.

It was a pity that Charlie was her best friend's husband, albeit the lack of consummation. Now, even her family knew about it, so it would be even more difficult for her and Charlie to be together. 9 Although the Thomas family was not one of the top families in Eastcliff, it was at least a respectable and prestigious one. Her elders would definitely prevent her from being with a married man.

Even if he got divorced in the future, it would not do any good for her reputation to be with a divorcee.

Upon thinking this, she felt particularly depressed and upset.

Suddenly, a discordant voice was heard. "Grandpa! Grandma!"

Loreen turned her head and saw her cousin, Dylan Koch, striding over with a smug look on his face. 5

She subconsciously asked, "Hey cuz, I heard that you had surgery recently. How's the recovery going?"

He got a little annoyed as soon as he heard the question about the surgery and huffed in agitation." Don't talk to me about the damn surgery shit. It pisses me off just thinking about it!" 3 Lady Thomas added in a rather sad tone, "Loreen, Dylan suffered greatly during that time. You have no idea."

Charlie didn't turn around, but he found the voice rather familiar. 7

He started to flip over the images in his head, trying to identify the owner of the voice, and he found it.

Wasn't he Dylan, the young master of the Koch family, who was forced to swallow a ruby necklace at Jasmine's house? 4

Was he Loreen's cousin? It would be true since he called Loreen's grandmother 'Grandma' too. He must be the 'cuz' Loreen mentioned when she was talking to her aunt earlier. This was getting very interesting.
