The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Helena nodded gently and said softly, "I've heard Felix talk about this before. He would get very angry every

the mentioned it..." "Yes..." Charlie smiled indifferently. "He must be very angry. Otherwise, it would not be

possible for him to be so hostile to me." Helena looked at Charlie and asked, "Mr. Wade, how did you convince

yourself to accept the gifts from the Wade family, then?"

Charlie then said in a self-deprecating manner, "I was penniless at that time, and my life-saving benefactor

needed money to treat her illness. My wife was bullied in the family, and even if | had sof my own poor

boy's ambition, reality simply did not allowto refuse." After saying that, Charlie sighed slightly and said

emotionally, "At that time, | thought that even if it was not for myself, | would still have to accept the gifts from

the Wade family even if it's just for my lifesaving benefactor and my wife. So, | took over the company, and |

paid for my life-saving benefactor's medical bills with the ten billion dollars cash from the Wade family. After that,

| got to where | am today, step by step. The reason why I can get here today is all thanks to the Wade family's

initial gift."

Helena said seriously, "Mr. Wade, the Wade family

only gave you a company and ten billion dollars cash, but your current strength is already far beyond this asset.

So, | think that with or without this gift from the Wade family, you would have been able to succeed!"

"It really may not be that case." Charlie shook his head and said seriously, "Helena, destiny is sometimes very

magical and also subtle. Although | cannot see how destiny exists exactly, | think that there are thousands of

inextricable links between the fate of every person i n this world. It's like a domino effect that may affect the

situation as a whole."

As he spoke, Charlie said again, "Have you ever thought about how your usual trivial decisions might change

yourself or other people's lives subtly?"

Helena said blankly, "Mr. Wade, | don't know much about fate and destiny..."

Charlie said indifferently, "If you see a person crossing the road and getting hit and killed by a taxi, you can try

to push the life trajectory of the person who was hit and killed as well as the driver of the accident forward by

ten seconds, ten minutes, ten hours, or even ten days.

Helena asked, "Mr. Wade, what does it mean to push the life trajectory forward?"

Charlie said indifferently, "It's what the both of them were doing before the incident."

After a pause, Charlie added, "It's also possible that ten seconds before the accident, you happened to be

passing by the roadside, and the driver was distracted because he was attracted by your beauty, thus causing

the accident."

"It's also possible that you were

calling for a taxi with another person

ten minutes before, and that driver

chose to stop in front of you just because he saw that you were prettier, and after you got in, you made him

drive the car near the ptace of the accident, and that's why he had that car accident.

"There is also the possibility that ten hours ago, you uploaded a video of you on the short video platform, and

the pedestrian's friend saw this video and forwarded it to him. After he watched it, he thought that you were

beautiful and so, he kept thinking about you in his mind, and when he crossed the road, he was still thinking

about this short video of you. That's what caused him to be distracted and get hit by a car."

As Charlie spoke of this, he shrugged and said, "This is the destiny that | am talking about, but the actual

situation might be far more complicated compared to

what I've said. For instance, if | dint

not receive the money from the Wade family, | simply would not have been able to afford to buy a BMW car for

my wife. If did not buy that car for her, my father-in-law would not have hijacked that car. If he had not taken

that car, he would not have askedto be his driver and broughtto see an expensive antique vase..."

Speaking of this, Charlie shook his head and smiled. H e naturally omitted his incidental acquisition of the at

Vintage Deluxe as he continued, "Without this, you and | would not have had any encounters in this life, much

less be sitting together in the scar at this moment." In Charlie's opinion, destiny was indeed magical.

Everything was influencing one another in the dark, and no one knew how their own decisions would eventually

affect their own future.

Helena naturally did not understand the relationship behind Charlie's words.

She had a puzzled look on her face as she said, "Mr. Wade, | don't understand why you would want to associate

your destiny with a BMW car or even an antique vase..."

Charlie smiled faintly and said, "You only need to know that without that BMW and without that antique vase, it

would be enough for us to have never met each other in this life."

Helena was confused, but she looked at Charlie ashamedly and then mustered the courage to ask him, "Mr.

Wade, each of the three analogies that you made just now seemed to be because of my looks which triggered

that car accident... Do you really think that | am very beautiful?"

Charlie did not think much about it and said casually," You're very beautiful. No matter whether it's from the

Westerners' aesthetics or Easterners’ aesthetics, you should be considered very beautiful."

Helena turned sideways and stared at Charlie from a close distance. Her pair of big eyes were bright in the night

as she mustered up the courage to ask him softly, "Mr. Wade, if... if you really think that I'm beautiful, would you

be willing to... kiss me?"
