The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2018

Elaine smiled as she said, "Silly girl! I was just lying to her. Where could I possibly buy any Oskian breakfast food during the New Year? Besides, I don't even know how to cook those dishes at all. I was just trying to make that bad old woman angry!"

Elaine continued speaking, "You might not know it, but your grandmother really enjoys eating Oskian breakfast food. She would always go to the teahouse for the entire morning just to enjoy some good Oskiar breakfast food. Every time she goes there, she would always eat an extremely hearty meal like a queen! She would order a whole table full of food each time. Now that she has already fallen into poverty, why wouldn't I take advantage of this situation to stimulate her and criticize her, then?" s

Claire sighed helplessly as she said, "Mom, don't you think that it is about time for you to let go of the grudge between you and grandma now? She is already so old. So, you should not continue to argue with her like that anymore." 1

Elaine replied disdainfully, "So what if she is getting older? Let me tell you something. In this society, there are a group of people who become even more wicked as they age! For these kinds of people, the older they are and the more difficult it is for them to breathe, the more wicked and bad these people are! You do not know how badly she tortured me back in the

detention center! I am already being extremely kind and benevolent toward her by not rushing over there to kill her!" 5

Claire could not deal with her mother at all. Thus, she could only ask, "Alright, Mom. So, what are we having for breakfast, then?" 1

Elaine replied, "We are having noodles for breakfast today. I made tomatoes and egg noodles today."

After she was done speaking, Elaine looked at Charlie before she said in a flattering manner, "My good son-in-law, please do not despise this simple food. When my leg recovers fully, I will definitely go out and buy all sorts of vegetables and meats every day to cook a good meal for you!" 4

Charlie smiled before he said, "Mom, I am not picky at all when it comes to food. You should try to make more delicious food for Claire." 1

"Of course! That is for sure!" Elaine grinned as she said, "A woman must eat better and more nutritious food when they are preparing to get pregnant." i

Claire replied embarrassedly, "Mom... why are you talking nonsense again?" 1

Elaine replied solemnly, "How can you say that I am talking nonsense? I have already gone through this same process before. If a woman wants to get ready to have a baby, she would have to make sure that her body is healthy first! You should not follow in your mother's footsteps and get pregnant amidst the

confusion."

Charlie could not help but feel a little awkward when he heard Elaine's words. At this time, he thought to himself, 'You were obviously the one who got Jacob drunk on purpose before you took the initiative to have sexual intercourse with him. It could be said that you were deliberately trying to get pregnant. So, how could you say that you got pregnant amidst the confusion, then?'

Claire did not want to continue discussing this topic with her mother at this time. So, she said, "By the way, Mom, Loreen and her cousin brother will come here and visit for a short while later. You should not talk nonsense later." 2

Elaine asked in surprise, "Loreen is coming? She did not go back to Eastcliff yet?" 3

Claire nodded before she said, "No, she has not gone back yet. Isn't she working for the Emgrand Group? The office workers only started their vacation today. S 0, she will visit us at our house first before returning t 0 Eastcliff to celebrate the New Year." 1

Elaine asked again, "Will she be coming back here to work after the New Year?"

"Yes, she will." Claire replied, "It seems as though she really likes working at Emgrand Group." 1

Elaine smacked her lips together before she spoke earnestly, "Something seems a little off!"

Claire asked in surprise, "What is wrong?" Elaine replied very seriously, "The Thomas family is so powerful and strong. So, why would Loreen possibly be interested in the job at Emgrand Group? Furthermore she has already been working here for such a long time. I think that she must have some other plans in mind!"
