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

Carmen replied, "I am here to look for Elaine, who cto do a treatment at your beauty salon earlier. I have something to discuss with her in private." 5 As soon as the boss heard that she was not here to spend money, the expression on his face darkened immediately, and he said in annoyance, "If you are not here to experience our services, please leave immediately. If you are looking for someone to discuss smatters with her in private, you should look for the right place to do so. I do not provide such services here." 1 Carmen glanced at her bodyguard, and her bodyguard immediately took out fifty thousand dollars from his small suitcase and placed it on the counter. 2 When the salon boss saw the money, he suddenly had a very flattering and humble attitude as he smiled and said, "Madam, what kind of service would you liket 0 provide you with?" 1 Carmen replied coldly, "Bringto see Elaine. I want t 0 chat with Elaine in private. It will not take too long, and I will take about thirty minutes at most. During this half an hour, no one is allowed to cand interrupt us at all. If you can do that, the fifty thousand dollars will be your reward. Do you understand me?" 3 When the boss heard this, he thought to himself,' Harold wantsto feed Elaine ssleeping pills. After she falls asleep, Harold wants to secretly take her away. However, this woman has suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She's offering to givefifty thousand dollars just so that she could chat privately with Elaine for thirty minutes. This sounds like a really good deal! I could simply make Harold wait for half an hour and then give Elaine the sleeping pills after this woman is done talking to her. Wouldn't that be perfect?!' 5 As he thought about this, the boss immediately agreed as he smiled and said, "Alright, then! That should be doable! So, you only want thirty minutes to chat with her, right? No problem! Miss Elaine is taking a bath now. You can wait for her in the spa room first." Carmen nodded before she told her bodyguard, "Cwith me.' "Hey! Hey!" The boss hurriedly stopped her and said," We are a female-only beauty salon. All the members here are dressed very casually, and there are also times when they are not wearing any clothes at all. Even as the boss of this beauty salon, I am not allowed to enter the private service area for the members too. Therefore, you cannot bring this gentleman in with you!" 2 Carmen did not feel that anything was amiss. After all, she did not think that there could possibly be any danger at an ordinary beauty salon like this. Hence, she simply told her bodyguard, "Wait outside for me." s The bodyguard nodded slightly.

After all, Carmen's itinerary was made on impulse today, and there had been no suspicious person following them along the way. So, in this case, there could not be any possibility of Carmen encountering any danger here today. Therefore, the bodyguard was not too concerned. 5 The bodyguard then waited at the entrance of the beauty salon. After that, Carmen asked the boss, "Can you bringin now?" 1 The boss smiled before he hurriedly said, "I will ask my employee to bring you in. I cannot go in there either." "Okay." Carmen nodded before she followed the employee into the private service area inside.

The layout of this beauty salon was relatively deep. The front desk was in the front, followed by the lobby. The bathroom for bathing was located after walking through the corridor, and the spa room was located at the deepest part of the beauty salon. 4 The reason why the spa room was placed in the deepest part of the beauty salon was mainly because the customers who cto this spa were all here to relax completely, and they were all very resistant to noise. If the spa room was placed closer to the street, the vibration and honking sounds from the passing cars would be very apparent.

Carmen followed the employee and walked through the corridor before she finally arrived at one of the spa rooms. 3 The employee said respectfully to her, "Madam, please wait here for a moment. I will bring Miss Elaine here when she comes out later." Carmen hummed slightly before she took out ten thousand dollars in cash from her limited-edition Hermes bag. After that, she handed the money over to the employee before she said, "Don't tell Elaine that I am waiting for her here. Just bring her into the room directly. Do you understand?" 5

The employee took the ten thousand dollars from Carmen happily before she said excitedly, "Don't worry! I will most certainly not tell her anything!" "Okay." Carmen nodded before she said, "You can go out first." "Okay, madam." 4 Carmen frowned in disgust upon looking around the environment in the spa room after the employee stepped out.

She took a cheque that she had already prepared in advance out of her bag. The amount written on this cheque was one billion dollars.

was Carmen intended to bribe Elaine with this sum of money. 5

However, the more she observed the low-end environment of this beauty salon, the more Carmen thought to herself, To think this Elaine would actually cto this kind of place to get a spa treatment. She must X
