The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

When Claire heard that Elaine had been released from prison, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said excitedly, "Mom, where are you now? Has Charlie contacted you?"

Elaine hurriedly said, "Charlie is right in front of me now. I was actually released from prison so quickly because Charlie was the one who found the connections to get me out earlier."

Claire was very happy and said quickly, "Mom, hurry up and come back with Charlie, then. You don't know how worried I've been about you during this period of time!"

Elaine pursed her lips and said embarrassedly, “Well... Claire... I... I don't want to go to Providence. That place is really boring, so why don't I stay in New York for a few more days instead? It just so happens that I met a friend in prison, and we were both released from prison on the same day. She invited me to stay in New York for a few days."

When Claire heard this, she refused almost without any hesitation whatsoever, "Mom, you shouldn't trust outsiders anymore. Haven't you figured out how you ended up in prison yet?! Those people do not really want to be friends with you. They are simply trying to get close to you because they have a plan in mind!"

Elaine explained, "Oh, no! Claire, the friend that I met in prison is a very genuine person. She was also locked up in prison because she was framed just like me."

With that said, Elaine used the story of the compatriot that she had met in prison as she sighed and said, "Do you know how this friend of mine got put in prison? You might not believe me when I tell you this, but it's because she sold some hairy crabs to Oskian compatriots in the United States. There was a man who didn't get to buy it, so he ended up reporting her to the police. She then ended up in prison and was also fined a lot of money! Tell me, why are there such bad people in this world?"noveldrama

Claire was also a little puzzled, but she still said worriedly, "Mom, you finally got released from prison after a long time, and I really don't feel comfortable about you being alone in New York. Why don't you listen to me and come back to Providence with Charlie?"

Elaine said firmly, "Oh, Claire! Can you believe me? There is absolutely no problem with this friend of mine this time. You can rest assured. What can others cheat your mother of now?"

Having said that, Elaine was afraid that Claire would not agree to her proposal, so she said stubbornly, "Anyway, I've already promised my friend, so no matter what

it is, I will stay and have a good time in New York for a few days!"

Claire was helpless, so she said, "Mom, pass the phone to Charlie, then!"

"Okay." Elaine hurriedly handed her cell phone over to Charlie and winked at him.

Charlie answered the call and said, "Hello, Honey."

Claire, who was on the other end of the line asked, "Honey, did you meet the friend that Mom mentioned? Is she reliable?"

In order to cooperate with Elaine, Charlie could only say casually, "Yes, I met her. She's quite reliable. I also asked my client in New York to help me out, so Mom will definitely be fine here. You don't have to worry."

Claire was relieved when she heard Charlie's words and said helplessly, "Okay, then. With my mother's

character, no one can change heret

mind as long as she has already decided on something. I won't continue arguing with her since you also think that her friend is reliable...”

With that said, Claire said again, "Honey, this matter has really caused a lot of trouble for you. You have been so busy because you've been dealing with my mother's matter all this time. Thank you!"

Charlie smiled slightly and said softly, "Honey, you don't have to be so polite with me. Besides, your mother is also my mother-in-law, so this is also my duty."

Claire hummed lightly in response and asked him, "Honey, when are you planning to come back?"

Charlie thought about it for a

moment. His current task in New York had been completed, so it was also time for him to go back to accompany Claire. So, he said, "I'll be back later. I'm just a few hours away."
