The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2874

After he was done speaking, Cadfan then said, "Jaime, you have to help me keep a close eye on Sophie's every move during this time. You have to investigate clearly to replace out where she goes, who she meets with, and what she does. Do you understand?"

Jaime hurriedly said, "I got it, Grandpa. Don't worry!"

"Okay." Cadfan sighed and said, "What I'm most worried about now is not whether she will be able to do this business well or not. What I'm most worried about is whether she will sell all of the ocean shipping business' fixed assets as soon as the business is transferred over to her... So many ships, so many port resources, and the rights to the canal passage can all be sold for hundreds of billions of dollars. So, you have to pay attention and keep a lookout for the slightest hint of trouble!"

The expression on Jaime's face turned cold in an instant as he said, "Grandpa, I'll definitely keep an eye on her!"

After hanging up the phone, Jaime felt extremely worried and unhappy.

'I've been working so hard for so long, and I even had to flatter and please Grandpa after my mother and younger sister met with the mishap...'

'But what did Grandpa give me in return?'

'Nothing!'

'I did not gain any real benefits at all!'

'He only fed me some illusions, but I do not even know whether I'll ever have the opportunity to reap the benefits!'

'Sophie, on the other hand, took advantage of the opportunity to cause a scene because she had something on Grandpa, and she managed to gain such a huge business just like that! This is too unfair!' 7

Meanwhile, Charlie and the others had already arrived at The Heaven Springs.

Since they were going to enjoy some wine whilst chatting with friends, Charlie had naturally chosen this location.

It just so happened that Charlie would also be delegating a portion of the Harker family members to Albert in the future. So, if they were to eat here, Charlie could simply invite both Albert and Isaac to join them for dinner too.

Moreover, he also planned to introduce Yolden and Autumn to both Albert and Isaac. 1

As long as these two people were around, there was basically nothing that they could not settle in Aurous Hill.

After receiving Charlie's phone call, Isaac and Albert put down everything that they had on hand and headed directly to The Heaven Springs. 2

Charlie introduced Isaac and Albert to Yolden and Autumn at the dinner table. Although Autumn had met Isaac before, they had not had much interaction with one another. So, this time, Charlie wanted to take advantage of this opportunity so that Autumn could get more familiar with Isaac and Albert over dinner.

Autumn was not surprised at Charlie's connections. She had already realized that Charlie had secretly built up a huge network of contacts throughout Aurous Hill, and it could be said that all of the reputable and dignified people in Aurous Hill respected and looked up to Charlie.

There were also quite a few of them who were basically akin to his disciples.

Autumn was also a little surprised at Charlie's patience and meticulousness. This was because all of the rich heirs she knew would rarely be able to run a basic business slowly, firmly, and steadily.

Generally speaking, those rich heirs would feel that they had already debuted at their pinnacle. So, they liked to get things done in a high and mighty manner, and their most common operation was to have many successive projects in one go.

However, Charlie was not like those people.

As the young master of the Wade family, Charlie was not being high and mighty in Eastcliff. Instead, he was steadily building up his business in a second-tier city like Aurous Hill. Although things looked very calm on the surface, in truth, Charlie's power and influence had already extended to every class and inch of land in Aurous Hill.

This kind of firm and steady manner was the foundation to achieve greater things. Based on Charlie's approach, he was taking root in the cities along the Yaak River first before eventually promoting his business to the coast through his ocean shipping business. He would be able to take the offensive or defensive as he deemed fit regardless of the domestic or international economic situation in the future. This also gave Autumn full confidence to join Charlie's career map.

Aside from Autumn, everyone else present drank a few more glasses of wine because they were all very happy today.

Charlie also drank quite a lot. The alcohol content in the Moutai wine that Albert had prepared was very high. Charlie deliberately did not use his Reiki to dissolve the alcohol in his body. Instead, he allowed the alcohol to stay in his body until he had reached a slightly drunken state.

This slightly drunk feeling made him feel even happier on top of his originally happy mood.

He was very happy because he felt that as long as Yolden and Autumn, the father and daughter duo, were around, his overall arrangement in his ocean shipping business in the future would be absolutely stable! 7
