The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



Jordan's face twisted into a pained expression. He never expected his dutiful son, who valued family and affection, would treat him so ruthlessly. He thought his son had always regarded him as the most important person out of everyone else. The terrible truth was that his son hated him intensely due to his long life.

Jordan was so obsessed with longevity, he even traveled far to Aurous Hill for it. His eldest son must have been furious with that.

Thus, the man chose to reveal his true colors at such a time.

Despite Jordan's reluctance to admit it, he knew that his son must have already gained complete control over the Fox family in the United States. After all, his son managed to remove him from power by making almost all the board members vote in his son's favor.

The man was confident that Jordan would be powerless to resist.

With how almost all the board members showed support for his son, that also meant that Jordan had lost their trust for him.

Jordan was already dying, unable to struggle nor fight back his fate. Even if he still had the strength, there was absolutely no hope of turning the tables in this situation.NôvelDrama.Org content.

On top of that, Jordan was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the United States. His eldest son had removed all his confidants and supporters from the group. Even if he could go back, how could he fight his son?

Therefore, he suppressed his anger and admitted defeat. Helpless, he said, "Alright. Since you've already made plans for me, bury me in my motherland after I die. I want to be buried with my parents."

But his son replied apologetically, "Dad, I'm sorry. I've arranged for your grave to be in the United States. You know, it's the most expensive cemetery in the United States. Your neighbors in the cemetery would be past presidents and top richest men of the country. I'm sure you'll be pleased to rest there."

Jordan's voice trembled. "This is my only request, but you can't even agree to it?"

His son felt a little helpless and explained with great sadness, "Dad, if you aren't buried in the United States after your death, everyone will gossip about me behind my back.

He paused before adding, "Besides, all your descendants are in the United States. I can't be troubling all of them to pay respect to you in a faraway country, right? It'll be easier for us if you're buried in the United States."

Jordan fell into a short silence. Finally, he smiled bitterly and said, "Okay... Okay...

Great...! I'm really lucky to have a son like you! How fortunate I am!"

The man on the other end of the call didn't seem to take Jordan's sarcasm to heart. He replied faintly, "Dad, there's a saying: like father, like son. I cannot be who I am today without your teachings."

After that, he added, "Dad, I'm busy because I just took over the board. I need to deal with many of your old subordinates, so I can't talk to anymore. Please take care of yourself in the country. If you need something, tell Kathleen to call me. I'm glad to have her and Master Yant take care of you there."

Almost immediately, he changed his tune. Gone was the sadness in his voice as he warned coldly, "But Dad, I have something I want to make clear to you in advance. I've already talked to the customs and arranged my men to guard various ports. If you and the others don't come back without authorization, I won't make life difficult for Kathleen's family after your death.

However, if you and the rest dare to come back in secret, then don't blame me for being reckless!"

Jordan knew it was the end of him. He was completely powerless, and didn't want to cause trouble for his beloved granddaughter Kathleen's family. He immediately agreed, "Alright! promise! After I die, let Kathleen take my body back!' "Alright," his son said cheerily pleased. "It's a promise. I ordered your plane to return an hour ago. You can rest well in the country in the meantime. Tell Kathleen to contact me after your passing. TH send a plane to pick you up!"

He hung up immediately after saying that.

Jordan stood still, dumbfounded for a few seconds. He returned the phone to the staff and said in a depressed tone, "I'm sorry, I'll forfeit..." Bernard had been anxiously waiting for Jordan to say that. He was so thrilled, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "The Rejuvenating Pill is mine! It's mine!"

At the same time, Jordan's face twisted in pain. Almost immediately, he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

His blood splattered the entire place. Those around him were about to curse angrily at him, but they stopped when they saw that Jordan had fainted. He had exhausted his last bit of strength as he slumped and lost consciousness.

At the pitiful sight of a dying old man, those who were unfortunate enough to be covered with Jordan's blood swallowed their complaints. They grumpily wiped the blood off their clothes.
