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

In truth, Sophie also understood that it was Eikichi's own fault that he had ended up in this state.

However, she was hoping that she would be able to stop Charlie by using emotions and reasoning so that Eikichi would not get both of his arms broken here today.

Although Sophie was still very young, she had already received a very elite education since she was a child. Furthermore, she had been staying abroad in the United States for many years, and she could be regarded as a genius in the business world, s Hence, she always had a plan and motive for everything that she did.

For instance, this time, she was sent here as a representative of the Schulz family to discuss the collaboration and partnership matter with the Takahashi family. However, Eikichi had already beca cripple even before they could begin discussing or talking about this matter. It would not be appropriate at all if she simply watched everything happen without lifting a finger to help him. It would not only make it seem as though she was not a righteous person, but it would also affect the specific details and progress for the subsequent collaboration and partnership between the two families. 5 So, based on sentiments, reasoning, and interests, she would have to step up to try and stop Charlie at all costs. 1 Even if she was not able to stop Charlie, and even if Eikichi was still turned into a cripple at the end of the day, she would have already tried her best to help him. She would be able to have a clear conscience, and she would be able to face the Takahashi family without any shwhatsoever, 7 Of course, the best situation would be if the young man in front of her could give her face after she stepped forward to stop him. It would be great if he would stop what he was about to do and give Eikichi a way out of this. 3 That way, she would not only have a clear conscience and face, but the Takahashi family would also owe her a huge favor. If that was the case, she would be able to use this to her advantage and ask the Takahashi family for more benefits and resources when they were discussing the specific details and arrangements for their collaboration in the future.

However, she never expected this young man to be so cold and hostile! 7 It seemed as though he was determined to break both of Eikichi's arms today! 1 So, Sophie suppressed the anger that she was feeling inside before she said, "Sir, I am Eastcliff..

Charlie interrupted her before she could even finish her sentence. He said in a dissatisfied tone, "Miss, you do not need to tellwho you are, and I am not interested to find out about your identity at all. You do not need to use your status to try and pressure me. This is because I will not give you any face at all even if you are a king or deity! Do you hearclearly?" 5 Sophie could not control her temper any longer! No one had ever dared to speak to her in this manner and tone ever since she was a child. 2 She had already long been accustomed to the feeling Of being respected and complimented wherever she went. Therefore, she would not have expected this young man standing in front of her to not give her any face at all! 7 He could not even be bothered to let her finish speaking at all! The fire and rage in Sophie's heart was immediately ignited by Charlie. She snorted before she said angrily, "No matter what it is, I have to get involved in this matter today! I will definitely make sure you regret it if you dare to lay another finger on him today!" 4 Charlie smiled playfully as he said, "You will makeregret it?" Sophie replied confidently, "Yes!" As soon as Sophie was done speaking, she suddenly heard a loud clicking sound beside her. Immediately afterward, Eikichi let out a sharp and miserable cry. 3 Sophie swiftly turned to look at Eikichi, and she saw that Charlie had broken his left arm too. Both of his arms were now dangling lifelessly in front of him as he cried out in pain! Sophie glared angrily at Charlie before she shouted," What the hell is wrong with you?! Do you truly have to embarrassand make things difficult for me?"

Charlie shook his head before he said, "Don't think so highly of yourself. I don't even know you at all, e so why would I even bother to embarrass you or make things difficult for you? You are completely insignificant to me. 6

After saying that, Charlie could not be bothered to look at both of them anymore. He reached into Ryuji's Sn pocket as the latter ay on the ground and took back all of the money that Ryuji had taken from the girl. After that, Charlie turned around and walked toward the girl who had been singing and performing on the side of the streets earlier. 4 "Keep your money properly. Don't cout to perform or sing anymore in the future." 5 The girl was very grateful, and tears started flowing down her cheeks. She choked up as she said, "I am sorry for causing you so much trouble..."

Charlie shook his head before he said, "Since you are all alone in an foreign country you have to make that you take good care of yourself. I'm leaving." 3 After he was done speaking, Charlie turned around to leave the scene.
