The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2248

This was Charlie's purpose in keeping Rosalie alive.

He planned to send Rosalie back to Eastcliff when the time was right.

Immediately afterward, he put his cell phone away. After that, he stepped on the accelerator of the electric bike, and the small machine made a buzzing sound as the electric bike started moving out. 5

After leaving the Thompson First community, Charlie was turning his electric bike around as he prepared to go to Isaac's hotel. At this time, he heard a familiar voice shouting behind him with a hint of nervousness, "Brother-in-Law!" 2

Charlie subconsciously turned his head around, and he saw a familiar woman beckoning him from the sidewalk behind him.

"Wendy?" Charlie was really surprised upon observing the woman carefully. 1

It was not the first or second day since his family and Lady Wilson's family had turned hostile against one another. For such a long time, the two families had been mutually destructive, just like water and fire. 3 They would not greet each other at all if they were to run into one another, and if Charlie's mother-in-law, Elaine, saw any one of them from the balcony of her villa, she would start scolding them for at least an hour to relieve her hatred.

So, he could not understand why Wendy was calling out to him.

Furthermore, why was she suddenly willing to refer to him as her brother-in-law? Didn't she use to call him useless before this?

As he thought about this, he frowned and asked her, "Do you need something?"

Wendy hurriedly ran two steps toward Charlie, and she seemed a little ashamed and embarrassed as she asked, "Brother-in-law, where are you going?"

Charlie replied coldly, "I am going out to buy some vegetables. What do you want?" 4

Wendy bit her lip slightly before she asked anxiously," Brother-in-Law, can you send me to Pearl River Point? It is not too far from here. We should be able to reach there in about twenty minutes on an electric bike..." 2

Charlie looked her up and down, and he saw that she was dressed very formally with some light makeup on her face. He sneered as he said, "Why? Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for the dignified young lady of the Wilson family to be riding on my electric bike? Are you trying to make fun of me again?" 5

As soon as Wendy heard this, she immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.

At this moment, the situation she thought of was when she had seen Charlie when she was sitting in Gerald's Bentley outside Emgrand Group. 4

'At that time, Charlie was riding this electric bike...' i

'Back then, I did not take Charlie to heart, and I had no respect for him at all. I had always felt that he was just a completely useless and worthless man. So, I really did not look up to him at all...'

'But who would have known that more than half a year later, Charlie would end up becoming a great and reputable man in Aurous Hill?! On the other hand, I have been reduced to becoming a courtesy lady who can only earn two hundred dollars a day to support my family!' 2

'Moreover, in order to save money to feed my grandmother, father, and brother, I cannot even afford to take the bus or taxi...' 4

As she thought about this, Wendy mustered up her courage as she said humbly, "Brother-in-Law... please don't make fun of me anymore. Our family has already ended up in such a dire state now. How could I possibly still be considered the dignified young lady O f the Wilson family now?" 5

After she was done speaking, Wendy raised her head to look at Charlie with flushed red eyes, and she was filled with guilt and shame as she said, "Brother-in-Law... I was wrong in the past. I shouldn't have looked down on you, and I should not have gone against you and Claire time and time again. Life has already taught me a lot of lessons, and I am already deeply aware of my mistakes. I hope that you can be magnanimous and gracious enough not to hold everything that has happened in the past against me anymore..." 4

Charlie was somewhat surprised when he heard these words coming out of Wendy's mouth.

He really would not have expected Wendy to say such things.

What was even more unexpected was the fact that Wendy's tone and attitude were very sincere when she said this.

He could tell that Wendy was speaking from the bottom of her heart, and she was not saying this just for the sake of saying it.

When Charlie saw that Wendy was already sincerely apologizing and admitting her own mistakes, Charlie's attitude eased a little, and he replied lightly." It is good that you are willing to admit your own mistakes. A mistake that is confessed is already half redressed. If you have truly realized that you made a mistake back then, it is not too late for you to turn over a new leaf now." 8
