The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Frederick stroked her hair, a little distressed.

"Look at how frail you are. Is there anywhere that you're not injured? Why don't you rest at hfor two months, then we'll talk about it later?" If she was lazy, it wouldn't be too bad to be a housewife either! "My injuries are not that serious. They are not even deep. I don't have to go to the hospital! I have my husband to take care of me. The only reason I work is to pass the time! There would be less trouble if there were fewer people. I'll listen to whatever you say, but don't makestay at hand do nothing. I will wither! Why don't we go back to how it was before? When we're free, you can takeout for a meal! I'll be happy!" If she stayed at hfor two months, she would really be disengaged from society and be a good-for- nothing. Although she was always one step behind, she had to quicken her pace to keep up with him. Alicia could not help but sigh as she thought about the past.

"I do not have any friends to reserve a seat foror accompanyfor lunch while working here. There would always be srandom person who would either grab my food or take my space... It isn't very nice! When I have to cup to my husband's office to have lunch with him, I still have to sneak around like a thief!" However, at this moment, she still did not dare to mention the men who liked to pester her.

In contrast, she still felt she was happier working in JT Translation Services. Although the food was not as good, at least she could eat comfortably. That was more important. Perhaps, it was the sas marriage. It did not matter whether you married someone rich or poor. The only thing that mattered was whether you were happy when you're with the person.

Although JT Translation Services was incomparable to Soaver International, she would rather be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond. Working in JT Translation Services gave her a sense of accomplishment as well as confidence. In her mind, this was the choice she made for herself.

Only then did she realize how different men and women were! Who would have thought that she had so many grievances? She was even emotional about eating lunch! After a moment of silence, Frederick spoke.

"Alright then! From now on, do whatever makes you happy! If you want to work, work; if you don't want to, you can stay at hand lettake care of you! However, you must respect my boundaries! We still have to go to the hospital! Something happened to Trevor!" He wanted to take the opportunity to visit him and get a better understanding of the situation! "What happened? Is it serious?" "He drank too much! He should be fine!" He pulled her up and said, "Why don't you clean yourself up? I'll accompany you downstairs to retrieve your bag!" "What? Wouldn't the entire company find out that we're together then?" He got up and stroked her hair, "You're about to leave anyway, and you're not in line to get a promotion. You don't have to hide who you are anymore, do you?" He did not want to make their relationship public because he was afraid that her efforts would be wasted! Now that he thought about it, perhaps he was wrong from the start. She did not need to prove her intelligence and talents to anyone.

As long as she was happy and he knew it, that was enough! He believed that with her wit and her ability to adapt, even without him by her side, she would still do well! Upon hearing his words, Alicia seemed to understand his intention instantly, so she immediately replied with a beautiful smile.

"Wait a moment, letsee if everything is cleared outside. I don't want you to see anything that you're not supposed to!" There were sthings that he had to explain. "Alright!" She nodded and sat back on the chair while he walked out of the door.

The security guard and police officers caused a stir in the Soaver International grand lobby. Nobody knew what happened but everyone throughout the company got wind of the incident that happened in Mr. Clement's office, including the International Affairs Department. Everyone gathered in the grand hall, not caring about their jobs at hand.

"Mr. Clements is angry? Because of a woman? Is it true?" "I even saw blood! How am I making this up? I heard that when he was lifted out, he was covered with blood, and his pants were down!" "Then... Did he do it?" "I have no idea, but I don't think he did! I heard that he was hit right in his face, and he is a major client of the company! He actually harassed Mr. Clement's woman in his office! Was he trying to cause trouble? Who would be able to tolerate such behavior?" "Mr. Clement's woman? Is she an employee of the company? Who is she?" "I have no idea! Anyway, the partnership is obviously not happening. We're going to lose billions of dollars, and someone will get into big trouble! From now on, everyone must be careful and don't make mistakes, unless you get yourself in trouble!" "Oh my god!" Giselle was on her way back to her office when she caught wind of the gossip. She nearly collapsed as she said to herself, "How could it be? Is it really that serious?" She went back to the office and closed the door. Her mind was in a mess. She began to break out in cold sweat. After arranging everything, Frederick accompanied Alicia downstairs.

"Why don't I go back and get it myself?" The entire floor would probably go berserk if he went down to her department with her.

"I'll follow you! I'm afraid they will criticize you when they see you like this!" She had no way out of this.

After exiting the elevator, he reached out and wrapped his hand around her waist. Alicia obviously had had a wardrobe change.

She was not used to being the centre of attraction. However, she wouldn't be coming to the office anymore after that day, so it did not matter. She did not make a fuss anymore.

As soon as they stepped into the International Affairs Department, everyone stood up to greet their president. However, the words were stuck in their throats, and their eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets when they saw Alicia and Frederick together.

She hurried went back to her desk, quickly tidied up her belongings and turned off her computer. Then, she muttered, "I'll pack the rest tomorrow!" She had to complete spaperwork anyway! "Alright!" Frederick nodded and reached out for her bag. He ignored all the employees the entire tand walked out of the door with her in his arms. Tseemed to stand still. For a long time, the entire department was in pindrop silence.

They drove all the way to the hospital. Frederick then handed her off to the nurse to check on her injuries. Then, he turned to look at Carson, "How is Trevor? Is he awake? Is he okay?" Carson nodded and pointed to the ward on the other side.

"Yes, he is awake. The poison in his body isn't completely cleared, and he is physically weak right now. I gave him a full-body examination. He should be alright. The paralyzingdrug is causing him to lose N consciousness. The effect lasted for more than 24 hours. It is specially reserved for running!"

Frederick frowned a little then walked to the side as he asked 'Do you have any idea how it got into his body?" "Someone must have placed it in the

incense burner I found sashes in the room, in which there was a small dose of abnormal substances. It was prepared beforehand and placed very close to Master Trevor. That was why he was affected badly while others weren't." "Incense burner? It must have been the waiter! Why hasn't anyone realized this after such a long time?"
