The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Charlie was stunned, too shocked to react.

Immediately after, Charlie quickly helped the man back up. Puzzled, he asked politely, "May I ask who you are?"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The middle-aged man replied respectfully," Young Master Wade, my name is Janus Campbell. Originally, I should've ended up as a ghost. Luckily, Master Curtis saved me. That's why I was able to survive until today."

When Charlie heard that Janus was his father's old acquaintance, he clasped one of his hands over the other in a respectful manner. Bowing, he said, "Greetings, Uncle Campbell. I am Charlie Wade."

His gesture served to further excite the already ecstatic Janus. Janus's eyes

flushed red as he said, "I knew it... I knew it. When I saw you at first glance, I immediately knew: you must be Young Master Charlie! At first, I thought that I must be hallucinating. But when I recalled Miss Golding was telling me about her mysterious guest, I instantly concluded that you must be him!"

Quinn, sitting next to them, smiled as she said, "Brother Charlie, I didn't tell Uncle Campbell that you were coming over. I didn't even tell him that we've already found you. I was originally planning to give him a surprise, but I didn't think he'd be so insightful and pinpoint your identity right away!"

Janus hurriedly added, "That's not true, Miss Golding. I'm not as smart as you say. Young Master Charlie resembles Master Curtis when he was young... They look so alike, thus, I came to that conclusion." Charlie could not help but ask, "Uncle Campbell, how did you and my father know each other?" Janus let out a long sigh. His tone grim, he narrated, "Back then, I provoked the wrong people. I was young, hot-blooded, careless. The other party issued an order to kill me. All the mobsters in Hong Kong came out in full force just to find me and take my life..." Janus's eyes flushed red as he said, "It was Master Curtis who sent his men to rescue me from Hong Kong that night the mobsters attacked me. He also went to Hong Kong in person to negotiate with my enemy, and paid a huge price just so that I could get back my life..." Charlie was surprised. "So, you and my father were old friends..."

Quinn interjected cheerfully, "Brother

Charlie, my father said that Uncle

Campbell was a very respected and famous scholar at home and abroad. Uncle Wade went to Hong Kong to ask Uncle Campbell to come over many times before he finally agreed."

Janus said modestly, "You're flattering me, Miss Golding. I cannot be considered as a famous scholar. I was simply fortunate enough to earn Master Curtis's interest."

He sighed and added emotionally, "Back then, I was planning to retire to the countryside and let everything go.

However, I was fortunate enough to

earn Master Curtis's interest. Thus, I decided to follow him. To my surprise, just as I finished dealing with my personal affairs and was about to head to Eastcliff to see him,

I discovered that he had abandoned the Wade family and left Eastcliff with his wife! His whereabouts were also unknown At this, Charlie's heart tensed. Janus was probably referring to the incident that happened when he was eight.

Charlie hurriedly asked, "Uncle Campbell, do you know the cause of my parents' death?"

Janus shook his head and mumbled apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Young Master Wade. I only heard about Master Curtis's murder much later At that time, I've already lost all contact with Master Curtis. The last time he contacted me was before h e was ready to leave the Wade family."

Charlie pressed on, "Did my father say anything to you at that time?"

Janus replied, "When Master Curtis was talking to me on the phone at that time, he said he was leaving the Wade family. Still, he hoped that I could serve the Wade family.

He also asked me to contact Stephen Thompson, the Wade family's butler at that time. However, I refused his request."

Janus sounded somewhat ashamed as he went on, "Young Master Wade... To tell you the truth, I didn't want to get involved in the business world back then. Were it not for Master Curtis's charisma, I wouldn't have been convinced to come out again." "I felt that I would not hesitate to even give up my life if I were to serve Master Curtis!"

"If it's not him, then I'm not interested in making things difficult for myself."

"I promised Master Curtis that when

he decides to return to the Wade

to retur

family, or if he were to set up his own business, he only needed to call me. No matter where I am or what I'm doing, I'll definitely come

running. As long as I am still vel's

I

breathing and able to move, I'll serve him anytime he needs me to..."

"Master Curtis respected my choice.

However, I didn't expect to hear news of his death soon after that."

Janus's eyes welled up with tears as he recalled this. He choked as he struggled to speak, his voice dripping with sorrow, "I never imagine Master Curtis would die so young. It is... It's really a pity."

Charlie let out a small. True, his father had only been in his thirties and was in his prime at the moment of death. Indeed, it was a great pity.
