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

As he spoke, the old man suddenly called Loreen over and said, "Chere, Loreen! Cand get to know Mr. Wrigley!" Loreen's grandfather, uncle, and father surprisingly had unanimous views about Loreen's marriage.

They all felt that Loreen should be marrying a young master from a top and prestigious family so that she could bring glory to the Thomas family.

This was also why they arranged for Loreen to work for the Emgrand Group in Aurous Hill.

However, even though Loreen left for Aurous Hill for such a long time, she had not even caught a glimpse of the chairman of Emgrand Group yet. So, they were gradually starting to lose patience over this matter, s Now that they saw Wrigley standing in front of them, all of them had the sidea. They were all hoping that Loreen could end up together with Wrigley. If that was the case, the Thomas family would be able to soar and lift its rank just like that.

As soon as Wrigley saw Loreen, he could only stare directly at Loreen in shock.

Although there were many beautiful women in Eastcliff, there were not that many beautiful young ladies from a wealthy and prestigious family. 4 After all, it was often very difficult for a person to cfrom an excellent family background and have an excellent appearance at the stime. 6 Although the Thomas family was not exactly amongst the top families, Loreen was really very beautiful! Therefore, Wrigley immediately had sthoughts and interest in Loreen.

He did not hesitate to stretch out his hand as he said in a gentlemanly manner, "Miss Thomas, it's nice to meet you!" 5 Loreen had a somewhat cold and indifferent expression on her face, and she deliberately refused to reach out her hand to meet his. Instead, she simply nodded and said, "It's nice to meet you too, Mr. Wrigley." 3 At this time, Loreen's father, Javier, reprimanded her immediately, "Loreen! Why are you being so rude and impolite? Why didn't you shake hands with Mr.

Wrigley?!" 3 To which Loreen replied, "I am sorry, Mr. Wrigley. I touched a stray cat by the door just now, and I haven't washed my hands yet." 3 Wrigley could not help but feel a little upset. Loreen was actually putting on airs in front of him, and she did not even want to shake hands with him at all. She was seriously not giving him any face at all! 4 However, Wrigley did not get angry. He simply endured the humiliation because he wanted to leave a good impression on Loreen so that it would be convenient for him to start any further in-depth development and relationship with her. 4 At this time, Dylan hurriedly brought the painting that Charlie had brought with him here today over to Wrigley. After that, he greeted Wrigley respectfully before he said, "Oh! Mr. Wrigley, it is really good that you chere on time. There is a fool here who is saying that this painting belongs to your eldest uncle, and he insists that this painting is genuine! I suspect that this kid is deliberately using a fake painting to ride on your eldest uncle's reputation to show off!" 2 After that, he handed the painting over to Wrigley before he asked him respectfully, "Look! Mr. Wrigley, this is the painting that I am talking about! Is this a genuine painting? Why don't you tell everyone if it is truly a genuine painting or not?" 4 Wrigley frowned. He did not know anything about antiques at all. So, how could he possibly tell whether this is an authentic painting or not? He did not even know anything about the origins of this painting. Fortunately, at this time, Dylan said flatly, "This is the painting of Portrait de Famille done by the famous artist, Henri Matisse. It is said that your eldest uncle bought this painting for forty eight million eight hundred and eighty thousand dollars back then!" After Wrigley heard these words, he quickly tried to think about the situation. If the authentic and original painting really belonged to his uncle, then there was no way that he would be willing to sell the painting to anyone. 5

After all, his eldest uncle had always attached great importance to antiques. He had always treated his antique collections as a very om treasured possession, and he would only continue adding to his collection without giving anything away. He had already bought various famous paintings over the years. It was said that his collection of paintings alone already amounted to tens of billions of dollars.

Although the transactional price of this painting was only forty eight million eight hundred and eightym thousand dollars, based on his dred and e understanding of his own uncle, it was simply impossible for him to give away any of his precious collection. 6

What's more, his uncle was not even acquainted with the Thomas family at all. The Thomas family would not even have the opportunity to try and curry any favor with him. So, why would his uncle take out any of his prized possessions to give it to Lady Thomas as a birthday gift then? 3 Therefore, Wrigley concluded that the painting in front of him must be a fake! 4 As he thought about this, Wrigley immediately asked in a cold voice, "Which idiot actually dares to pretend that the painting cfrom my uncle's collection? Is the said person tired of living?" X
