The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family



When Kathleen heard this, she could not help but burst out in laughter.

She really did not expect that Charlie's means of making money would actually be so unstoppable.

A simple treadmill from even the top brands would only cost a few thousand US dollars, and even the most expensive one would cost a mere ten thousand US dollars. However, Charlie would charge almost one hundred thousand US dollars to provide a treadmill for a few days of use, and this could really be said to be really extremely expensive.

At this time, Jordan could not help but sigh as he said, "Shangri-La is truly a slaughterhouse for the rich. There are simply so many ways for them to collect money here that you cannot even imagine!'

Kathleen hurriedly spoke up and comforted, "Grandpa, this money is actually nothing at all. So, you don't need to mind it too much, and you can just take things as they come."

"Yes." Jordan said resentfully, "I also understand the concept behind taking things as they come, but I really did not expect that they would not have any limits at all. This is really subverting my perception."

As Jordan said that, he asked, "Kathleen, based on my actual experience here, I feel that the boss behind the scenes is a treacherous businessman who is money-minded and profit-oriented. Will it have any effect if you engage in using favors as merit with such a person?"

Kathleen thought for a moment and said," Grandpa, based on my observation, this Master Wade who is behind the scenes does not look like a profit- oriented person at all. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to hide his identity. I guess he just wants to take advantage of this opportunity to rip some money off these rich people."

As Kathleen spoke, she then added," Grandpa, you said before that Grandpa Lennard received a Rejuvenating Pill from Master Wade because he had the good opportunity, but he never asked Grandpa Lennard for even a single penny.

According to the current flow of events, the price of the Rejuvenating Pill will definitely exceed more than ten billion US dollars, and no matter how you look at it, someone who can give ten billion US dollars away like that does not seem like a profit-oriented person..."

Immediately after that, Kathleen

continued, "He's just trying to get more money out of all of you now, but the most that he can get out of one person would just be around ten million dollars, and if I were to include all two hundred of you, it would only be two billion dollars. After conversion, that would only be more than three hundred million US dollars, which is not even one-thirtieth of the actual value of the Rejuvenating Pill. So, I'm guessing that he's just deliberately trying to make things difficult for all of you to kill your prestige."

Jordan hesitated for a moment and then said approvingly, "Your analysis is also reasonable and logical. After all, the Rejuvenating Pill is worth a lot of money. Even though I have received a lot of favors from your Grandpa Lennard, if it were me, I wouldn't have been willing to give something worth ten billion US dollars to your Grandpa Lennard."

Kathleen smiled slightly and said with relief, "So, Grandpa, you shouldn't have too many negative emotions, and you should try to be low-key and humble at Shangri-La. You should never get into any arguments with their staff either. As for me, everything seems to be going relatively smoothly on my end at the moment, and the results are worth looking forward to."

"Good!" Jordan was in a much more relaxed mood, and he smiled as he said," Kathleen, it seems as though you have also improved a lot during this period of time. Previously, your character was not as low-key and calm as you are now."

Kathleen smiled and said seriously,"

Grandpa, in the beginning, when I came to Oskia, I still had a strong sense of superiority in my heart. I always felt that I could plan and control everything, but after I came to Aureus Hill, I realized what it means that there will always be people outside who are even more talented and skilled than you are! The truly strong people would often be hidden in the city, and they usually would not show themselves. Instead, they would always keep a low profile and maintain their humility at all times."

As Kathleen spoke of this, she could not help but sigh as she said, "It's just a pity that I understood this truth a little too late. If I could have understood it just a little earlier, Mr. Larson might not have disappeared, then..."

Jordan thought of the missing Julian, and he could not help but sigh slightly as he said, "I've already given Mr. Larson's family one hundred million US dollars of settlement money. If I cannot find his whereabouts, I will give his family another large sum of money so that they will not have any worries in their lives."

Kathleen said, "That's all we can do now."

After saying that, she looked at the time and spoke up, "Grandpa, you should take a good rest in the hotel first. I will continue mediating outside for these two days as well. When the auction is over, I will arrange for you to meet with Master Wade no matter what the result is."

"Okay!" Jordan said, "Call me if there's something, but I'm guessing I will not be allowed to bring my cell phone with me on the day of the auction. Just wait until the auction is over if there's anything, then." "Okay
