The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



The butler nodded gently and said, "Since the Northern Europe royal family has already made the old queen's medical history public, I believe that the entire European high society will be very eager for the Rejuvenating Pill. I'm afraid that the auction the day after tomorrow will be extremely competitive."

Bernard coughed a few times and said weakly, "I can't care about that too much anymore. The two lobectomies have already caused the quality of my health to decline seriously. If it goes on like this, I may not even live for more than five years. So, I'm determined to win the bid for the Rejuvenating Pill this time."

As Bernard spoke, he added, "The organizer's arrangement this time is also very cunning. They will divide one Rejuvenating Pill into four parts, and they will be auctioning these four portions of the Rejuvenating Pill on the spot first.

Furthermore, the successful bidders will have to take it on the spot, then. At that time, I will have the opportunity to witness the actual effect of the Rejuvenating Pill with my own eyes. If even just a quarter of the Rejuvenating Pill can have obvious and significant effects, I can bid for the final whole Rejuvenating Pill confidently!"

Bernard had suffered from early-stage lung cancer several years ago. As it had been detected early, the doctor had performed a lobectomy on him to remove one of his five lung lobes.

However, what he did not expect was that just two years later, he would find a lung tumor again and so, he had had to undergo a second lobectomy upon the advice of his doctor.

Although the tumor in his body had already been completely removed now, he had also lost two lung lobes, which had reduced his physical condition greatly.

Furthermore, Bernard was worried about the return of the cancer cells. After all, it had already recurred once, and if it were to come back again, he might not be able to use a radical treatment like resection again, and he would only be able to choose a palliative treatment. In that case, his life expectancy would also be greatly reduced.

Therefore, it was imperative for him to get the Rejuvenating Pill at this time.

Just then, the doorbell of his room suddenly rang.

Bernard's butler stood up immediately, headed over to the door, and opened it slightly.

There were two men, one tall and one short, standing outside the door.

The tall man was Charlie, and the short man was Zachary.

When the butler saw that Charlie was not wearing a waiter's outfit, he was a little surprised, and he asked, "May I ask who you are?"

Charlie replied indifferently, "I'm the business director of the auction organizer.

I needed to come over here to communicate with Mr. Arnault about some matters."

The butler asked with some suspicion," How can you prove that you are a staff member? Do you have the relevant documents?"

Charlie laughed and said, "When you guys came here, you must have seen that the entire Shangri-La was under martial law now, and it would be impossible for anyone to enter f he is not an internal staff member. I'm not going to hide anything from you, but I came here on behalf of our boss this time. There are very important matters that must be communicated to Mr. Arnault in advance. Otherwise, it will affect Mr. Arnault's participation in the auction the day after tomorrow."

When the butler heard Charlie saying this, the wariness in his heart dissipated quite a bit.

They had indeed seen the security of

the hotel when they had arrived, and every traveler who had arrived had. had to get their luggage checked well as go through a full set of security checks and registration. It was truly very strict, and it would be impossible for anyone to enter if he was not a staff member.

So, he opened the door and brought the both of them inside as he introduced them to Bernard, who was sitting on the sofa. "Sir, these two men are staff of the auction, and they said that they have important things that need to be communicated to you."

Bernard nodded gently. As he looked

at the two men, Charlie and Zachary, he saw that one of them had his

head held high with a nonchalante

expression on his face whereas the other one was more or less nervous. So he guessed that Charlie, who was the taller one, was in charge of the two.

So, he then looked at Charlie and spoke up," Sir, please tell me anything you have in mind directly."
