The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Elaine seldom went out during this period of time because of her leg injury and so, she had already been feeling uncomfortable and suffocated for a long time.

It just so happened that at this time when Claire mentioned something about going to the United States, Elaine's first thought as soon as she heard it was that she would have to follow her and go out to experience the world. What's more, Elaine already knew that Charlie could make money easily and so, she did not want to miss out on this good opportunity to go out with Charlie. Perhaps Charlie could also buy something for her.

Claire felt as though she had been placed in a slightly difficult spot when she heard that her mother wanted to tag along.

She felt that the best solution would be for just Charlie to accompany her, and if she were to bring her mother along, the situation would really be a little awkward.

So, she advised Elaine, "Mom, I feel that it would be better for you to rest at home. The United States is a long way away, and it's not easy to get there. Besides, you don't have any friends there, so you will get bored easily."

Elaine blurted out without hesitation, "I will have to wait until I go there first to know if I will be bored or not. I have also been bored to death staying at home during this period of time. No matter what it is, you cannot leave me alone at home."

Claire immediately ran out of ideas, and she could only look at Charlie with a helpless expression on her face. She did not know if Charlie had any good ideas to make her mother dispel this idea.

Charlie also wanted Elaine to give up on this thought.

So, he said rationally, "Mom, the reason why Claire is going to the United States this time is to attend a masterclass and go to school to further her studies. So, it is very likely that she will be very busy at that time. Wouldn't it be boring for you to stay there if she does not have time for you?"

"It's okay." Elaine said without hesitation, "It does not matter if she does not have the time to care about me. If you guys do not have time for me, I will go out by myself, then. Anyway, I've never been to the United States before, and when the time comes, I will definitely think that everything looks new there."

As Elaine spoke of this, she was already in a state of fascination as she said excitedly," When I was young, it was the hottest and most popular place to go abroad. At that time, the television was

broadcasting 'People from Eastcliff in New York'. Young people have dreamt of the opportunity togo over there to take a look. At that time, I dreamt of going to the United States, and I wanted to see the Statue of Liberty with my own eyes and take a look at the Hollywood Walk of Fame. However, I have not had the opportunity to go even after so many years and this time, I finally have the chance to make my dream come true!"

Charlie thought to himself, 'It would be a dream come true for you, but what about Claire and I, then? If you tag along, wouldn't my time alone with Claire be completely ruined because of you?'

As Charlie thought of this, he said

immediately, "Mom, I speak from the bottom of my heart when I say that I think you really need to be recuperating now because your leg is not fully recovered yet. You should not be running around and working so hard. If you were to go to the United States so soon and go around everywhere, it might affect your recovery and leave you with sequelae."

Having said that, Charlie smiled faintly and said, "In my opinion, you might as well stay in Aurous Hill to rest and recuperate instead. It just so happens that you have a good relationship with Hannah Queen now, so you can let her accompany you more." Elaine said without thinking, "No! When you all leave and leave me all alone at home, I will be scared to death to live alone in such a big house!"

Charlie hurriedly said, "Mom, I'll give you pocket money of five hundred thousand dollars before I leave. We will be gone for a month or so and so, you can do whatever you wantin Aurous Hill at that time. If you're bored and free, you can ask Hannah Queen to accompany you to go out shopping, get some beauty treatment done, and go to a spa. Wouldn't it be more comfortable for you to stay here rather than running around in the United States with us?"

When Elaine heard Charlie saying that he would give her five hundred thousand dollars as pocket money, she immediately asked excitedly, "My dear son-in-law, you... are you really going to give me half a million?! You're not deliberately lying to me and making fun of me, right?" Charlie knew that money would definitely be way better for Elaine compared to the Statue of Liberty.

When he saw that Elaine had really left her American dream behind, he smiled and said, "Mom, when have I ever made fun of you? You can rest assured that as long as you stay and recuperate well in Aurous Hill, I will definitely cash in five hundred thousand dollars to you as soon as possible!"

Elaine immediately said with great enthusiasm, "Okay, my dear son-in-law! We have a deal, then! You cannot go back on anything you've said!"

Charlie laughed and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I will not go back on my words. I'll definitely give you the money before I go to the United States with Claire!" "Okay!" Elaine said without hesitation," Since that's the case, I will not go through so much trouble to follow you guys so far to the United States, then!"
