The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



Chandler's words gave Jordan a huge reality check. Truly, Jordan couldn't refute any of Chandie's arguments.

Chandler wanted to give his old friend a wake-up call once and for all, so he continued, "Jordan, you have to understand. Your son didn't just seize your power willy-nilly. He even instigated everyone on the board of directors to overthrow you. Your obsession with the Rejuvenating Pill had gone overboard. You've even prepared two hundred billion US dollars just to win the auction! That must have alarmed your children, your board, and all the other shareholders." "In other words, you're no different than an old king who didn't hesitate to exchange the power of his country in pursuit of longevity. Your descendants and followers couldn't stand it anymore, so they lost their trust in you and stopped supporting you. They even regarded you as a failed king and a tyrant. They simply wanted to overthrow you so that everything will be normal again."

"You should think about it carefully. If you didn't lose everyone's support, how could your eldest son easily take your power away and so thoroughly?" Chandler paused and sighed. "What goes around comes around, Jordan. You have to reflect on yourself and your actions!"

Jordan was horror-struck to hear Chandler's words. Before hearing Chandler's opinion, he thought his son was the culprit who seized his power and took away the empire he had worked so hard to build. Now, he finally understood what went wrong. His obsession and pursuit of a long life had cost him his followers' support and trust.

How could he regain his power in such a situation? It was a fool's dream!

Jordan was at loss for words. Not knowing what to say, he choked and burst into tears.

Meanwhile, Chandler's words enlightened Kathleen.

She wanted her grandfather to live a long life, so she hoped he could get the Rejuvenating Pill and attain longevity.

However, her wish was largely because of personal interests, in addition to her filial piety as a granddaughter.

Her parents and siblings had lacked sufficient influence in the family. They had to rely on Jordan's support for a better life.

If Jordan passed away, her father, being the youngest son, would gain the least benefit.

That was the crux to the problem.

She wanted her grandfather to live longer, but not everyone shared the same thought.

Charlie interjected them with a cold

tone, "I n ancient history, when the

et

King of Van, Zhu Di, revolted and expelled his nephew, the Jianwen Emperor, from the palace, he had trouble sleeping and eating in peace. Therefore, he spent the rest of his life looking for the Jianwen Emperor's whereabouts. You must be careful. Your son might come for you."

Jordan looked at Charlie with a bitter smile. "He...he can't be that cruel. Henoveldrama

told me his honest thoughts in the call earlier. He said he'd let me live

as

the rest of my life here as long stayed here. He doesn't want me to

return to the United States. Once I die, Kathleen will bring my body back to the United States? He'll bury me there."

Charlie shook his head with an amused smile and said solemnly, "It seems to me that he said so because he firmly believes that you'll live for a month or two at most. He probably hoped to see you dead at the auction, particularly after his shocking move. Even if you're not dead, you'll still be in a bad state since you're unable to recover from the shock. Then, your days would be numbered."

Charlie stopped to look at Jordan quietly, and then reminded the old man, "If I didn't save you earlier, his wish may have already come true."

Jordan was horrified.

Charlie's expression became stern. "Try and think about it. If he knows you can live for another one or two years, will he stay so calm and indifferent? Will he allow you to spend the rest of your days here in peace?"

Charlie's question terrified Jordan and Kathleen.

Jordan originally thought it was a relief for him to live for another year or two. He might have lost his power over the Fox family, but he would still live until the next Rejuvenating Pill's auction. By then, he might have the chance to win the pill.
