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

After glancing around, Penny casually said, "Getsomething simple that's suitable for patients and hospital wards. I don't want to stand out!" While they were talking, a middle-aged man wearing a work apron cout.

"Mrs. Clements, you're a special guest! I haven't seen you for a long time! I have srare orchids. There's a nice one at the back. Would you like to have a look?" "That's a good idea!" Penny followed the middle-aged man to the back of the florist store. The man spoke to the store assistant as they walked.

"Moonie, she's an old customer, pack them up carefully! I will take her to the back. Do not disturb us!" "Yes, Mr. Liam!" Later, the two of them walked to the back of the store in a polite manner. Once they were a distance away, the man, Steve Liam, grabbed Penny's hand. "Why'd you chere at this time? Did you miss me?" Seeing his lecherous actions, Penny's face instantly turned gloomy, "Steve, can't you think of something else? Haven't you heard about the bad things that have happened? I'm in a bad mood, don't you dare irritate me!" Penny was frustrated and directed all her anger at Steve. Behind her, he pouted, but then smiled at her. "What happened?" At that, she told him about the recent events.

"How unlucky! If I had known that that woman wasn't pregnant and that there would be a shooting after that, I shouldn't have wasted my time! Now, I've offended Frederick. I panicked and acted recklessly at the banquet. So many unfortunate events happened one after another. Nothing's going my way! Old man Clements actually toldthat he's tired, and that he wanted to give up most of his power at the company to Frederick once he has grandchildren! On the other hand, he's only going to give Mason the title of the vice president. He can't compare with his brother! If Frederick were to have a child now, I won't be able to get a single cent from them! And now Halley has been beaten up out of the blue...and she's disfigured! I'm so frustrated!" As she ranted, Penny didn't dare voice her suspicions that everything that had happened recently was too coincidental. Whatever happened to Halley didn't have anything to do with Frederick, did it? On second thought, he was busy in the hospital every day. He was absent from most of the meetings at work! He did not have the energy to do these things! Penny was also suffering from a terrible headache as she hit her head! On the other side, Steve poured her a glass of water, and a trace of malice flashed in his eyes.. He muttered, "That's why I suggested to just get rid of him. It's the most straightforward and easiest way!" "Can't you use your brain? If I can kill him that easily, do I have to be so worried? If anything happens to Frederick, the first person to fall would be Mrs. Candice! Putting aside his father, that cousin of his won't give up if he doesn't get to the bottom of the matter! He controls half of the entertainment industry. There's nothing he can't uncover! Don't tellyou have a way to deal with all the members of Clements family at once? Before you can finish them off, we'll be dead! His uncle is also a menace. Do you think that the men of the Clements family could be so successful if they were that useless? All of them are capable. And that assistant of his, Chet. I heard he was a soldier and is extremely close to Frederick. He would definitely seek revenge for him. Don't even mention anything about leaving the country. Money makes the world go round, and we'd be crushed to pieces if they would just spend a little bit of money!" She knew her own worth and capabilities. She just wanted to live a good life and get as much as she could for her son! Penny chere to relax, but now, she was so furious that her brain was going to blow up. She felt that she was running into trouble. When she was about to leave, she suddenly thought of something and looked straight at the man beside her.

"Steve, regarding the shooting, it doesn't have anything to do with you, right?" "What are you talking about?" He turned his head, obviously trying to avoid her eyes.

Penny dragged his face back to look at her, furious. "Tellthe truth! Did you have anything to do with it?" "Of course not! If I wanted to do it, I would definitely get your approval first! Besides that day, didn't you know that had been busy counting flowers in the Clements family house til late night? How couldhave the capabilities to do that? If I didn't accidentally notice someone tampering with the video and made a copy of it, how could you have such an opportunity? Every step that I've taken and every breath that I've made has had to go through you first, hasn't it?" What he said was somewhat reasonable. If he hadn't sent her the message when she was in a panic, she wouldn't have thought of taking advantage of the situation. Slowly, she took back her hand. "I'm warning you, you'd better not act on such idiotic ideas! Violence won't solve anything. We'll find a way somehow! The longer it takes, the more we can get from them. We'll definitely have a way out of this!" Penny muttered absent-mindedly and did not notice that Steve obviously let out a sigh of relief...

In the hospital, Alicia dazedly fell sleep. When she woke up, she saw that it was already eleven o'clock. The room was quiet, and her phone was still clutched in her hand.

She got up, poured herself a glass of water and rubbed her eyes. She was sleeping so much lately, and it was making her feel lethargic.

If she went on like this, she'd probably not only have gained weight, but also lost the ability to function by the tshe was discharged.

She felt that she couldn't delay any longer.

She wanted to ask the doctor what was going on and could only do it behind Frederick's back. With him around, the doctors would definitely say what he had told them to! She guessed that even if she didn't have to be medicated, she would have to stay in the hospital! If she stayed any longer with such a small injury, it would be a waste of medical resources! Thinking of this, Alicia lifted the quilt and got out of bed. She gently moved her body and took a few deep breaths. Why was she hungry again? She had eaten smeat today. Why was she hungry again? Did she have bugs inside her stomach? Turning around, she grabbed an apple, took a bite and walked out of the door.

As soon as she opened the door, the bodyguard turned sideways and said, "Madam!" "I won't go far! I'm just looking for the doctor." The two bodyguards looked at each e other. They were obviously in a dilemma. Before they could speak, Alicia said, "It's in the office at the corner of the aisle. I don't have to go downstairs. If you're worried, you can cwith me. It's a female issue. I feel embarrassed for the doctor to talk tohere!" Upon hearing this, the two men's faces turned red and they nodded. One of them said, "Madam, letescort you!"

Subsequently, the two of them followed behind Alicia. Alicia walked slowly along the way. When she was reaching the end of the corridor, she heard a familiar voice. "Since you didn't answer my call, I had no choice but to clook for you!"

"I beg you, Frederick. Please helpthis time, okay? If I'm removed from the Painters Association, I'l definitely be charged with plagiarism. What am I going to do from now on?" "You have to believe me, I didn't do it

on purpose! didn't know that those paintings la copied as practice had been put one already willing to refund the buyer to resolve the matter, but the media isn't willing to tetgo. And the Painters Association..." When Alicia poked her head out, she saw Danica pulling Frederick's sleeve and crying prettily.
