The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

"We were more than just schoolmates!" Eliam said excitedly, "I was the youngest among the students back then, and your father took very good care of me."

With that said, he asked Charlie, "I'm guessing you must have already returned to the Wade family since you can come and attend Rosalie's parents' wedding today, right?"

Charlie knew that the man in front of him must be a smart person, so he did not hide the truth and nodded as he said, "I've already returned to the Wade family, but the public does not know about it."

Eliam nodded and said happily, "I've never understood why there would suddenly be a change in the head of the Schulz family after the Schulz family teamed up to defeat the Wade family. This is not in line with the common characteristics and toughness of the old heads of these prestigious families at all. However, after meeting you and seeing that you're also the witness for the wedding today, I think

I probably have an understanding of what's going on now!"

Having said that, he sighed and said, "Curtis was an extraordinary and outstanding person back then, but now, it seems that his son is also an extraordinary young man!"

Charlie clasped one of his hands over the other and said, "You flatter me!"

After saying that, Charlie curiously asked the question that he had in mind, “Mr. Colter, you went abroad to study when you were fourteen years old, so you must have studied very hard. I can see that you still have the foundation of a martial artist. Could it be that you studied martial arts when you were a child?"

Eliam raised his brows in surprise and asked him, "Are you also a martial artist?" Charlie thought for a moment. "I guess!"

Eliam sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Curtis's son who had been missing for so many years would actually be a martial artist!"

After saying that, he smiled slightly and said, "My parents forced me to learn martial arts when I was very young. Later, after Rosalie's grandfather adopted me and took me in as his godson, I chose to study instead of continuing to practice martial arts."

Charlie was puzzled and asked, "Martial artists have always been dedicated to sacrificing everything for the sake of martial arts. It's rare for someone like you to give up martial arts in order to study like you did. Why did you make such a decision?"

Eliam laughed in a self-reproachful manner. "My parents as well as everyone I came into contact with when I was young would always tell me that martial arts is supreme. They would always say things such as I would be able to die at sunset without regrets if I were to gain knowledge of the correct path in life in the morning. I also aspired to become a martial arts expert ever since I was a child because of them. I even had a great wish to enter the Dark Realm in my lifetime when I was young..."

Having said that, Eliam sighed and continued, "What I didn't expect was for martial arts to be so much more important to my parents. Therefore, when I was six years old, the two of them fostered me in the Harker family in order to seek a breakthrough, and since then, their whereabouts have been unknown for forty years."

"Uncle Harker wanted to teach me martial arts but I couldn't forgive my parents for abandoning me, so I was determined not to follow their path. I gave up martial arts and chose to study hard instead."

Charlie asked in confusion, "Mr. Colter, my father went abroad to study business back then. Since you were also admitted into the business school, why did you end up becoming a news presenter?"

Eliam said, "I studied business abroad and majored in Economics. I was still engaged in financial-related work in the United States until twenty years ago. I quit my job twenty years ago and came back to apply for a job as a financial analyst on the television station's financial channel. I gradually became the host of a financial program and finally went to Oskia Radio and Television Station to become a news presenter."

Charlie could not help but say, "This span of yours seems a little big."

Eliam sighed and said, "I found out something unintentionally back then, and I decided to do everything I could to become a news presenter in the hopes that my parents would be able to see me on television and read about me and hear my voice if they are still alive. I thought that they might suddenly appear in front of me if they recognized me..."

Charlie asked, "Did they show up, then?"noveldrama

Eliam hesitated for a moment and said seriously, "Mr. Wade, we can find a safe place to slowly talk about this matter after the wedding is over."

Charlie realized that Eliam might have something to hide, so he said, "Mr. Colter, this is actually a very safe place."

Eliam shook his head, smiled, and said, "I believe in you and Rosalie, but the people outside are not completely trustworthy to me. The people who are going to hear what I'm going to tell you must be completely trustworthy. I will not say even a word if there is a one in ten thousand probability that they are not credible."
