The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Chapter 4719



This was also the case for Jalen.

Although he was also working alone in the United States to earn money and his wife, children, and grandchildren were all relying on his support in Oskia, his family was not considered rich in Oskia yet. Over the years, the cash that he had given to his family time after time was estimated to be around ten million Oskian dollars.

In his opinion, this amount of money was enough for his family to live, but it was not as obvious and ostentatious as Martha's. So, his family should be very safe even though Martha's family members had been arrested.

As Jalen thought of this, he felt even smugger and could not help but secretly think to himself, 'Martha, oh, Martha, I never expected that you would also end up in this state one day! You usually scold me every day as if you're some big shot with extreme power, so why don't you have the same bullish energy that you had before now? I did not mind your age and wanted to be a temporary couple with you so that we could manage each other's physiological needs, but you looked down on me and despised me! Why aren't you being all smug now?'

There was a phrase that people would do things for their own benefit at the expense of the interests of others.

This was Jalen's mentality.

Moreover, he felt that he had always been jealous of Martha's high income.

But now, Martha had lost all her assets in an instant, and he had overtaken Martha in an instant. This was a huge turn!

Jalen, who was feeling extremely smug, comforted Martha hypocritically as he said, "Martha, as the saying goes, money will come and go. As long as there's life, there's hope. Anyway, you're in the United States, so it is impossible for the Oskian police to arrest you. You can continue working hard in the United States for a few more years, and there will definitely be a chance for you to make a comeback!" Martha's eyes were hollow and lifeless as she choked up and said decadently, "It's easy for you to say that, but my effort for more than twenty years has been wiped out in one go! This means that everything that I've done before was all in vain! It will take me another twenty years at least to earn back the money that I've lost. How can I still have twenty years to do that?! I'm already over fifty years old, and I should be retiring and returning to Oskia to take care of myself! As a result, I have nothing left now, and even my husband and sons have been arrested. If I had known this, I would have just stayed in the country without coming out!"

Having said that, she slapped herself twice and roared emotionally, "I've worked hard for more than twenty years, but in the end, I have nothing left! More than twenty years! What the hell did I get in return? What the h*ll did I get in return?!"

Kyler, who was aside, hurriedly persuaded, "Aunt Martha, don't be impulsive! We still have business to do now, and your top priority at the moment is to hurry up and seize the opportunity to make more money! Otherwise, you will not be able to make a comeback if you don't have money when your husband and son come out of prison in the future!"

Jalen also nodded and said, "That's

right, Martha. The maximum

sentence for money laundering crimes is ten years, right? If their behavior is exemplary, their sentenee can also be reduced. Your sons will only be in their forties or fifties when they are released from prison. That's not too bad! Besides, you have eight... oh, no, I mean nine grandchildren. What will they do in the future if you don't get back on track now?"

When Martha heard this, she suddenly came back to her senses and muttered, "Yes, you're right... I have to make money... I have to make more money. If I can earn enough money, I will emigrate to Southeast Asia and bring all my children and grandchildren over step by step..."

Having said that, Martha hurriedly stood up and urged, "Get in the car! Get in the car quickly! We have to get to Mexico as soon as possible!"

Jalen quickly nodded and was about to help Martha back to the car when his cell phone suddenly rang. Jalen subconsciously took his cell phone out of his pocket and saw that it was a phone call from his daughter-in-law. He suddenly felt a knot in his throat at this moment.

He did not dare to answer the call but instead murmured, "Why is my daughter-in-law also calling me? Could... Could it be that something has happened as well?!"

Martha's pupils suddenly shrank as she blurted out, "Something must have happened!"

Jalen suddenly panicked, and he trembled as he answered the call and blurted out to ask, "H-Heidi, why... why are you calling me at this time...?"

Before Jalen could finish speaking,

his daughter-in-law, who was on the other end of the line, cried out as

are

she said helplessly, "Dad, both Mom and Kayden were arrested by the police! The police said that they ar suspected of money laundering... The police also said that our family's assets are to be seized... What should I do now?! Can you come back as soon as possible to think of

a solution? I really don't know what

to do on my own..."

Jalen, who had secretly been enjoying Martha's misery earlier, only felt everything go dark before his eyes

at this moment. He instantly lost consciousness and fell to the ground directly...
