The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

When Charlie had help, he would also have to take care of the other party, which was far less handy compared to him being alone.

What's more, Charlie planned to infiltrate the enemy's base on this trip to Mexico by himself. He was going to pretend to be weak and fragile despite actually being powerful, and with Kathleen around, he was bound to have to practice extreme caution.

Kathleen had initially not known what exactly Charlie planned to do in Mexico. When she heard that Charlie was going to take the place of the potential victim and sneak into the opponent's death trap, she knew that she would not bring any positive effect aside from holding Charlie back if she followed him. So, she could only give up resentfully.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the airport, Charlie said to Kathleen, "You have a special status, so don't get out of the car."

Kathleen hurriedly said, "Pay attention to your safety then, Mr. Wade!"

Charlie nodded gently, and after saying goodbye to her, he pushed the car door open and got out of the

car.

Charlie then took a small suitcase out from the car trunk and walked into the airport without looking back. This suitcase contained some daily clothes that he had just bought yesterday.

Charlie himself did not know what was awaiting him in Mexico, but he wanted to pretend to be a person who was defenseless against danger and was going out of town. So, he naturally had to bring some personal belongings with him.

After going to the counter to redeem his boarding pass, Charlie went through the security check alone and arrived at the designated boarding gate early.

Since he had bought an economy-class flight ticket this time, he could only find a vacant seat at the boarding gate. He waited for the target to appear as he waited to board the plane.

Ten minutes later, a middle-aged Oskian man in his forties hurried over.

Charlie recognized him at a glance. He was Brienne's son, Hugo Lidstone.

Like Charlie, Hugo had also brought a twenty-inch suitcase with him, but compared to Charlie, he had another extra big shoulder bag.

Hugo, who was in his forties, looked a little older. His hair had not only turned gray, but his face also looked even more wrinkled compared to his peers.

It could be seen from Hugo's state that he should be at the lowest point of his life. He looked despondent but also somewhat sad and reluctant at the same time.

There were only five minutes left before boarding, and some anxious passengers had already begun lining up at the boarding gate.

Hugo too dragged his suitcase and lined up at the end of the line.

When Charlie saw this, he stood up immediately and pulled his suitcase to line up behind Hugo.

He then pretended to be curious and asked Hugo in the Oskian dialect, "Excuse me, are you from Oskia?"

"No." Hugo shook his head and said to Charlie very seriously, "I'm an Oskian American, and I have been a naturalized citizen for many years now."

Charlie frowned slightly. It seemed that Hugo seemed to be more concerned about the issue of his nationality, so he asked curiously, "Are you a working immigrant here?"

Hugo straightened the collar of his shirt and said with a somewhat proud expression, "I was a student who was sponsored by the government to study abroad back then. The United States gave me the opportunity to get a green card directly because of my outstanding grades, so I chose to stay in the

United States."

Charlie nodded.

In truth, Charlie had already read all these materials about Hugo. The reason why he was asking Hugo about this again was simply to get acquainted with Hugo and to take this opportunity to learn more about Hugo's personality as they chatted.

When Charlie saw that he seemed to be very concerned about his nationality and was still very proud when he talked about his status as a student who had been sponsored by the government to study abroad, he could not help but feel a little resentful.

He did not like this kind of person very much.

There were indeed many graduates from prestigious universities in Oskia as well as those who studied abroad at the government's expense and finally chose to stay overseas. It was said that there were tens of thousands of Oskian graduates who chose to stay in Silicon Valley in the United States.

Of course, whether the individual wanted to stay or not was entirely up to them, but Hugo's situation was different compared to others. After all, he was a student who had been sponsored by the government to study abroad, and he had spent the

CS money to study abroad. He

should have gone back to Oskia to serve his motherland after completing his studies, but he had chosen to stay in the United States directly. This kind of behavior was not kind in terms of character, so Charlie did not have a good impression of him. noveldrama

Therefore, he felt a little antipathy toward Hugo after exchanging a few words with him.

However, he did not get emotional just yet. Instead, he deliberately complimented the other party and

said, "It is said that the gold content of students who were sponsored to study abroad is very high. You're really remarkable!"

When Hugo heard Charlie's

compliment, his face was

overflowing with pride, and he was

also much friendlier toward Charlie as he smiled and said, "During our era, the requirements for students to be sent abroad to study by the government were indeed very high. There were only a few spots in the school for this."

Charlie nodded and asked curiously, "By the way, what are you going to do in Mexico? Is it for work, or are you going for an official business trip?"

Hugo had a momentarily stunned expression, and he said somewhat unnaturally, "I-I'm going for work..."
