The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

What's more, they were not rich heirs, and it was all just completely a script created by the internet celebrity brokerage company.

As the owner of the short video platform, although Charlie felt that people like Hannah and these kinds of things were indeed relatively low as well, he also knew very well that this represented the direction of the market as well as the laws of business.

After all, the vast majority of people in the country were all ordinary working class or even peasants. All companies were not competing for the sinking market, and it was also the object of these internet celebrity anchors. If he did not allow such people and things to appear on their own platforms, these anchors would then change platforms to fabricate the same story.

This way, the anchors and traffic from his own short video platform would be divided among his other competitors, which would then be followed by the overall collapse of the whole short video platform.

Many well-known internet companies back then had failed to make the right moves and eventually lost everything.

Therefore, Charlie stopped trying to persuade Elaine and instead said to Claire, "Honey, let's go out and let Mom adjust her emotions on her own."

Claire nodded helplessly and said to Elaine, "Mom, you can adjust your emotions yourself. Charlie and I will go out first."

Elaine ignored them and simply cried non-stop as she lay on the bed.

Jacob, who was downstairs, sat alone on the floor in front of the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth, and he was smoking and crying like Elaine as he leaned against the sofa with his legs curled up due to Charlie's heart-wrenching words.

Charlie was also extremely helpless, so he said to Claire, "Honey, why don't we leave the both of them alone and let them slowly adjust their emotions on their own?"

Claire asked Charlie, "How is my father?"

"He's also crying constantly." Charlie sighed and shrugged as he said, "Dad is very decrepit these days and it's actually not because he did not perform well when he went on the cultural exchange."

Claire asked in surprise, "What is the reason, then?"

Charlie said lightly, "It's because of Aunt Matilda."

Elaine never knew that Matilda had returned to Aurous Hill, but Claire knew aboutnoveldrama

it.

In the beginning, when Elaine had

been sent to prison for stealing Charlie's money, Jacob had been dressed impeccably when he had run to the airport to meet Matilda and her son, Paul. He had then invited them to their home for dinner, and Claire had witnessed all of this.

She could tell that her father still missed Matilda and even had deep feelings for her. She was mad at her father because of this. However, she later learned about the things that had happened between her parents back then, and she never mentioned these things in front of her father again.

When she heard Charlie say that her father was decrepit because of Matilda, she quickly asked, “What's going on?"

Charlie explained, "Aunt Matilda is together with someone else now, and he's a person who's many times better compared to Dad. Dad can't accept this blow, so he smokes and drinks alone these days."

"Well..." Claire did not know whether to be happy or worried.

As Jacob and Elaine's daughter, she naturally did not want her father to be in love with another woman.

However, after finding out what had happened to her parents and Matilda back then, Claire felt a little sympathetic toward her father's inner suffering and torment over the years.
